Carol Ann Duffy: texting and Twitter 'help students perfect poetry'

Children who use social networking sites and text messaging to communicate are “perfecting” their poetry skills, Carol Ann Duffy, the Poet Laureate, has said.

The 55 year-old said communicating via mobile phones and through social networking sites, such as Facebook and Twitter, helped teenagers condense their thoughts.

Britain’s first female Poet Laureate, who is second only to Shakespeare as the subject of choice for undergraduates studying English, said poetry was the “original” form of text messaging.

Her views are in stark contrast to other education experts who have lamented how modern language is being killed off by the so-called “Facebook generation”.

But launching a defence of younger generations, the creative director of Manchester Metropolitan University’s writing school, said modern musicians used language in a poetic way.

"The poem is a form of texting ... it's the original text," said the poet, whose work is studied in schools at GCSE and A-level.

“It's a perfecting of a feeling in language – it's a way of saying more with less, just as texting is.

“We've got to realise that the Facebook generation is the future – and, oddly enough, poetry is the perfect form for them.”

Asked if poetry would survive in the “age of Twitter and BlackBerry Messenger”, she said: “I think increasingly in this century poetry is probably the literary form that will last the most."

“Poems are the original text messages in that they use language in a very concise way and I think they will become more relevant in this century than in the last century.

“We are reading less now than we did and a lot of young people spend a lot of time in front of a computer on Facebook or tweeting.

“So the poem is the literary form that is the most accessible simply because of its brevity.”

Duffy, a passionate advocate of poetry teaching in schools, dismissed suggestions from some teachers that it was "difficult" or "complicated".

The Scottish poet and playwright, who grew up in a “bookless house”, said that poetry was undergoing a major revival in the nation's classrooms.

Duffy, whose 10 year-term as Poet Laureate ends in eight years’ time, added: “It's a kind of time capsule – it allows feelings and ideas to travel big distances in a very condensed form."

Asked if modern day teenagers were better at poetry than children from different generations, she told The Guardian: "I think it's most obvious in music.

"If you look at rapping, for example, a band like Arctic Monkeys uses lyrics in a poetic way. And using words in an inventive way is at the heart of youth culture in every way."

She added: “I know children love poetry. When I go into schools to give readings or do workshops, teenagers come up to me afterwards and ask me to read their poems.

“For them, poetry is a way of talking to themselves and understanding their feelings.

“If you look at forms like rap, they are skilfully using language, rhyme, and rhythm. Rap is a form of poetry. So the word is very important to young people.”

On Wednesday, she will launch a new competition for secondary school pupils, which invites them to create their own poetry anthologies on any topic they choose.

Duffy, whose creations as laureate has touched upon David Beckham's Achilles injury and standards in political life, hoped the competition would foster stronger relationship between children and poetry.

"The poem is the literary form of the 21st century," she says.

"It's able to connect young people in a deep way to language ... it's language as play." Just, one might say, as text messaging is language at play.

She also criticised the coalition government over its spending cuts that has threatened thousands of libraries.

“It’s awful. I hope when this temporary coalition is not in office that it might be reversed by another government,” she said.

“I don’t think of myself as an establishment figure. I just think of myself as a poet representing poetry.”

Carol Ann Duffy: SMS dan Twitter 'bantuan siswa puisi sempurna'

Anak-anak yang menggunakan situs jaringan sosial dan pesan teks untuk berkomunikasi secara "menyempurnakan" keterampilan puisi mereka, Carol Ann Duffy, yang Penyair Nobel, mengatakan.

55 tahun mengatakan berkomunikasi melalui ponsel dan melalui situs jejaring sosial, seperti Facebook dan Twitter, membantu remaja menyingkat pikiran mereka.

Wanita pertama Inggris Penyair Nobel, yang kedua hanya untuk Shakespeare sebagai subjek pilihan untuk mahasiswa belajar bahasa Inggris, kata puisi adalah "asli" bentuk pesan teks.

Pandangannya yang berbeda dengan ahli pendidikan lain yang telah meratapi bagaimana modern bahasa sedang dibunuh oleh apa yang disebut "generasi Facebook".

Tapi meluncurkan pertahanan generasi muda, direktur kreatif penulisan sekolah Manchester Metropolitan University, mengatakan musisi modern yang digunakan bahasa dengan cara puitis.

"Puisi adalah bentuk SMS ... itu teks asli," kata penyair, yang karyanya dipelajari di sekolah-sekolah di GCSE dan A-level.

"Ini adalah penyempurnaan dari perasaan dalam bahasa - itu adalah cara untuk mengatakan lebih banyak dengan sedikit, seperti texting.

"Kita harus menyadari bahwa generasi Facebook adalah masa depan - dan, anehnya, puisi adalah bentuk sempurna bagi mereka."

Ketika ditanya apakah puisi akan bertahan di "usia Twitter dan BlackBerry Messenger", dia berkata: "Saya pikir semakin dalam puisi abad ini mungkin adalah bentuk sastra yang akan berlangsung paling.

"Puisi adalah pesan teks asli dalam bahwa mereka menggunakan bahasa dalam cara yang sangat ringkas dan saya pikir mereka akan menjadi lebih relevan di abad ini daripada di abad terakhir.

"Kami membaca kurang sekarang daripada yang kita lakukan dan banyak orang-orang muda menghabiskan banyak waktu di depan komputer di Facebook atau tweeting.

"Jadi puisi itu adalah bentuk sastra yang paling mudah hanya karena singkatnya."

Duffy, pendukung gigih mengajar puisi di sekolah, menolak anggapan dari beberapa guru itu "sulit" atau "rumit".

Penyair dan dramawan Skotlandia, yang dibesarkan di sebuah "rumah tdk terpelajar", mengatakan bahwa puisi menjalani kebangkitan besar di kelas bangsa.

Duffy, yang masa tahun 10 sebagai Penyair Nobel berakhir dalam waktu delapan tahun, menambahkan: "Ini semacam kapsul waktu - memungkinkan perasaan dan ide-ide untuk perjalanan jarak besar dalam bentuk yang sangat kental."

Ketika ditanya apakah remaja modern yang lebih baik di puisi dari anak-anak dari generasi yang berbeda, dia mengatakan kepada The Guardian: "Saya pikir itu yang paling jelas dalam musik.

"Jika Anda melihat rap, misalnya, sebuah band seperti Arctic Monkeys menggunakan lirik dalam cara yang puitis. Dan menggunakan kata-kata dengan cara yang inventif adalah jantung dari budaya pemuda dalam segala hal."

Dia menambahkan: "Saya tahu anak-anak suka puisi. Ketika saya masuk ke sekolah-sekolah untuk memberikan bacaan atau melakukan lokakarya, remaja mendatangi saya setelah itu dan meminta saya untuk membaca puisi mereka.

"Bagi mereka, puisi adalah cara berbicara dengan diri mereka sendiri dan memahami perasaan mereka.

"Jika Anda melihat bentuk seperti rap, mereka terampil menggunakan bahasa, sajak, dan irama. Rap adalah bentuk puisi. Jadi kata tersebut sangat penting untuk orang-orang muda. "

Pada hari Rabu, ia akan meluncurkan kompetisi baru untuk murid sekolah menengah, yang mengundang mereka untuk membuat antologi puisi mereka sendiri tentang topik yang mereka pilih.

Duffy, yang kreasi sebagai pemenang telah menyentuh David Beckham cedera Achilles dan standar dalam kehidupan politik, berharap kompetisi akan mendorong hubungan yang lebih kuat antara anak dan puisi.

"Puisi adalah bentuk sastra dari abad ke-21," katanya.

"Ini dapat menghubungkan orang-orang muda dengan cara yang mendalam untuk bahasa ... itu bahasa sebagai bermain." Hanya, bisa dikatakan, sebagai pesan teks adalah bahasa bermain.

Dia juga mengkritik pemerintah koalisi atas pemotongan pengeluaran yang telah mengancam ribuan perpustakaan.

"Ini mengerikan. Saya berharap ketika koalisi sementara ini tidak di kantor yang mungkin akan dibalik dengan pemerintah lain, "katanya.

"Saya tidak menganggap diri sebagai tokoh pendirian. Saya hanya menganggap diri sebagai seorang penyair yang mewakili puisi. "

Tugas Softskill (II) - Idiom

EVERY DAY IDIOMS

There comes a time when you need to “take the bull by the horns” and go “full speed ahead” with your English in the real world. At the risk of sounding “like a broken record”, you must practice, practice, practice and practice outside of the classroom everything you have studied and learned in the classroom. Then one day “out of the blue”, the realization will “hit you” that you’re having a conversation in English and you are being understood just “as clear as bell”.

Idioms are expressions used and understood in a given language, but their meaning cannot be taken in a literal sense. American use idioms in everyday speech without even being aware that they’re doing so, and most Americans are "in the dark" as to the origin of idioms, but that's "a horse of a different color." The most important point is that in order for idioms to become "second nature" in your speech, you'll need to practice them in the real world - everyday.

Did you recognize the idioms that are in quotes from the above paragraphs? Do you know their definitions? If you're not familiar with an idiom then try to guess the meaning based on the context it's being used. Study a few idioms at a time from a book or a web site and practice using them with family and friends. The most effective way, though, to learn idioms is to listen and listen carefully (over and over again) how they are used in conversation and then imitate them in your own speech. What is most important is that you won't be "beating a dead horse" by practicing idioms in the real world. Sooner than you think, they will become a natural part of your own conversation as you use them in the proper context.

So don't "drag your feet" but instead "brush up" on some idioms. Then "get up your nerve" and practice in the real world by "giving it your best shot." You'll soon be "sitting pretty" because you won't feel "like a fish out of water" in the company of native speakers. Who knows, you might even impress your family and friends to "jump on the bandwagon" and follow your lead.fop

Berkunjung ke Jepang, Begini Gaya Pangeran William Jadi Samurai

Pangeran William kini kembali melakukan kunjungan ke luar negeri. Setelah Australia dan Selandia Baru beberapa waktu lalu, ayah satu anak tersebut kini tengah berada di Jepang.

Namun tak seperti kunjungan-kunjungan sebelumnya, kali ini William pergi tanpa ditemani sang istri, Kate Middleton. Seperti yang sudah diberitakan sebelumnya, Kate tak bisa menemani sang suami karena saat ini tengah dalam keadaan mengandung anak keduanya.

Di hari ketiga kunjungannya ke negeri sakura, William menyempatkan diri untuk mengunjungi sebuah bentuk warisan budaya tradisonal berupa lokasi syuting sebuah drama sejarah bertajuk 'Taiga'. Sebelumnya pada 1975, Ratu Elizabeth II pernah menyaksikan langsung syuting acara tersebut di tempat yang sama.

Dikutip dari People, Senin (2/3/2015) seorang staf studio membantu William untuk mengenakan mantel pendek, Jinbaori, dan meletakkan sebuah helm prajurit samurai Kabuto sebagai bagian dari tur. Tanpa melepaskan setelan jas birunya, pria berusia 32 tahun tersebut terlihat tersenyum ke arah kamera para wartawan.

Staf juga meminta William untuk mengenakan katsura (wig Jepang) untuk semakin melengkapi penampilannya, namun ditolak secara halus. "Kalau aku mengenakannya, adikku tak akan pernah membiarkanku melupakannya," selorohnya.

Menutup hari ketiganya di Jepang, William bertemu dengan Domo-kun, maskot ikonik stasiun TV Jepang, NHK. Setelah menepuk perlahan kepala sang maskot, keduanya pun bersalaman sebelum meninggalkan tempat.

So, That Is.

‘someone’. This ‘someone’ who I adore, I hate, I love being with. He is just an ordinary guy. I never thought that I could stand by him, cries for him, laugh for him. Is not it beautiful standing beside someone you love who love you back as much as you do, of course. Have you ever thought “how could possibly a guy like him loves you who is far too perfect, not pretty at all”?

Well, that is what I thought. I know it is like melo-drama or kind of romance, but since my lecturer had given this assignment, I could write anything I want, right. Okay, just skip this part.

That is a part inside my mind which keep wondering, how will it end? Though, I never want it to be... The feeling when you finally found someone who could heal the pain that has been hiding inside your heart, the feeling when you finally found someone who could you share all the happiness and the sadness with, the feeling when you finally found someone who could do the craziest thing as the way you do..

The feeling when you know you are about to lose if you do not grateful for what you have...

Basketball

So, this is my (boy)friend story about how can he play basketball. When he was at elementary school, he did not know how to play basketball. All he knows was only about football. He only focused in played football until he reached 6^th grade. At morning when he arrived at school, he saw his friend play basketball but all he could do was only watching people playing basketball.

When he graduated and enter junior high school, his passion towards basketball grew stronger because of his senior which was playing basketball having such a desire and power. Since then, he made determination to surpass him. He kept training harder because he believed that all the things that he do will get paid eventually.

After training that he had been through a lot, he finally got a chance to play on the court. He fought many great opponent. Though in the end he was not strong enough.

In that day, he felt the taste of the defeat for the first time. It does hurt him a lot but if made him think that he must have train harder.

He said, “if you want to achieve or pursue your dream, you have to keep moving forward, eventually all the things that you do will give you something that you want if you try harder”.

You

Do you know how does it feel when you look at someone and it is just ‘click’? Something about him/her that you cannot explain. You just be like “oh, that is him/her”.

The first time I saw you, I just thought, “well here he is. Let us see. Will you ‘stay’ or will you ‘leave’”. It is about friendship. When I am into some-kind of relationship such as “friendship”, I really do my best at it. I will do anything as long as my (best)friend happy, although it hurts me. That is what I did for her.

She liked you. What can I say. Before it’s too late, I step back and I choose to be a looser. She always talked about you which made me sick and honestly what made me sick was not about “oh God, I am bored to hear anything about him”. But it was like “please, could you stop it. I am about to fall for him if you keep talking”.

Distance should be the only answer of mine. Not seeing you around, not having such a fight-conversation with you, was the only way to protect myself from getting hurt. LOL. It’s true!!!

I hate the way you talking. I hate the way you walking. I hate the way you laugh. I hate the way you talk to me. Yes, I hate everything about you.

But that is the point. I was hating you too much and did not realize, I do not hate you at all.

My 21^st Birthday

            12:00am, January 27^th 2014. I was awake, I thought he sent me a birthday message or something. But I got nothing. Disappointed? Yes, I was. I went back to sleep and whisper “happy birthday” to myself. Sounds pitty right..

            Right in the morning, I STILL HAD NO MESSAGE LEFT ON MY PHONE. Ugh I feel terrible. So I texted this guys, saying “good morning” as always, and got no reply. I feel dumb. I decided to play games on facebook.

            Suddenly, I heard the door knocked, and he was there! He brought the cake on his hands and singing “happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you”. What a surprise!

            After blew out the candles, he left me. WHAT ON EARTH. He came back and gave me a small-yet big-box. Oh, it’s a gift! Yeay!!! Birthday gift! I opened it and a good-big running shoes lied there. I tried it, although it’s a little bit oversize, I like it. I found a birthday card and it is cute!

            Never thought that he could do something like that. I mean, the sacrifices, the gifts. I thank him for everything he did. But I thank God more because He gave me a chance to enjoy my life and be grateful for what I have.

I wish I were

I have a dream. No, I have so many dreams that I couldn’t reach until now. When I was kid I really wanted to be a singer. I took a part some singing contest. Though I could not be the 1^st winner well, at least I was the 2^nd winner.

I also wanted to be a dancer. When I was at kindegarten school I started free-dance which means just dance whatever you want. LOL. When I was at third grade, I joined a studio which name is “Sanggar Trisna Manggala”. That was a traditional studio dance. I had learnt about traditional dance from Sabang to Merauke. We had performed at Ancol, Taman Mini, and so on. I forgot.

After graduated from elementary school, I stoped dancing and focus with martial arts called “Jujitsu”. But not for long. When I was at high school, I joined extracurricular activity in my school, modern dance. When the audition was held, I brought out the best in me so that they (my senior) would choose me to join them. I made it. I joined them and became one of them. But it did not last.

I couldn’t stand for the seniority and bullying in my high school. Though I was not a victim, I decided to quit from the group. But it did not stop me. I continue dancing, with myself. I keep practicing in my house.

After graduated from school and having a college life, I joined club choir due to increase my singing ability. I enjoyed it for a couple weeks until I realized, it bothered me somehow. No to mention, but it was from me who could not handle between college and my favorite thing.

A year after I left club choir, I found a kpop studio dance. It was like “OH WOW, I MUST JOIN IT AND REACH MY GOAL TO BE A STAR” LOL I’m so sorry for my weird act.

I joined the club and enjoyed myself in there. I dance and practiced every Sunday on studio and practiced by myself everyday. I memorized the movement. It was fun! Until I quit. Why? Of course, my college. I could not shared between college and dancing. I could not focus with both, and I chose college.

Sometimes I take a look at mirror and asking myself. Is this what I want? Sometimes, oh no, always. I always miss dancing and singing. When I had nothing to do I just singing and dancing and it suddenly encourage me.

Singing and dancing are my passion. Although I’m not good at both of it, I still do love sing and dance.

Indonesian students abroad take to the streets

Sporadic demonstrations have broken out against the success of the Red-and-White Coalition

in passing of the law that abolished the rights of the people to directly elect regional heads.

Most of the protests and criticism were channeled through social media.

The situation, however, is quite different abroad. From Washington DC, New York, Perth,

Melbourne to Amsterdam, Indonesian political activists have united, taking advantage of

social media to hold protests against efforts to curtail people’s democratic rights.

In New York, dozens of students gathered at Times Square. In Washington, a group of

Indonesian students demanded President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, who was on a visit to

the US last month, to stop betraying the nation.

The House of Representatives recently passed the Regional Elections Law, which curtails

people’s voting rights. Under the new law, governors, mayors and regents are elected by

legislative councils instead of directly by the people. Indonesia began holding local direct

elections in June 2005 in Kutai Kartanagara as mandated by Law No. 32 on regional head

elections, one year after Indonesian voters directly elected their president for the first time.

Millions of Indonesians are disappointed by the new restrictive law.

The same disappointment has encouraged Indonesians living abroad to organize protests

against the law.

One of the biggest protests occurred in Melbourne on Saturday, with more than 60 people

taking part. Standing in one of the biggest public spaces in the heart of Melbourne, protesters

carried signs and wore masks depicting political actors who are being held responsible for

letting the new bill pass.

Poetry readings and a short theatrical act were also organized as part of the protest.

 One of the student coordinators, Aulia Latif, told The Jakarta Post that the protest was aimed

at putting more international pressure on President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono and political

elites in Indonesia.

“What we have learned about the President is that he is really concerned about his image. For

the last 10 years, we have seen him building his international image. So I hope this [protest]

puts [more] pressure on him,” he said.

It took the organizer of Melbourne’s protest less than a week to organize everything and

gather the masses.“We can easily organize everything using social media,” said Aulia, who

also took part in student protests to topple president Soeharto in 1998.

Facebook and Twitter enable people to voice their opinions about the government and

facilitate protests and other political movements.

A more coordinated approach has been adopted by other groups of Indonesians living abroad

in response to the passing of the Regional Elections Law. Through social media, Indonesians

in Perth, Amsterdam, Canberra, Berlin and Vancouver coordinated with each other to

organize a non-violent protest against the law.

The mastermind behind the movement, Diah Kusumaningrum, said that the idea behind the

unique concept was to raise global awareness of the issue and invite the international

community to

participate.

“For us, it is important that the wakes are seen as events where world citizens — not just

Indonesians — mourn a rollback of democracy,” said Diah, who is based in Austria.

Ironically, there have been no major protests on Indonesian streets. The most vocal reactions

have been expressed on social media.

The creation of the hashtag #ShameonyouSBY, which was later replaced by

#ShamedbyYouSBY are a part of the online movements criticizing the passing of the law.

The hashtag #ShameonyouSBY went to the top of Twitter’s worldwide trending topics list.

Yet many believe that voicing criticism on social media is not enough. Some political

activists see the need for the masses to take to the streets and be part of protests such as those

that were held in 1998.

Nanang Indra Kurniawan, a PhD candidate at Victoria University and also a lecturer on

politics at Gadjah Mada University, said that political activism in 1998 and today was

incomparable.

“The situation is different. Back in 1998, our enemy was clear — Soeharto and his

authoritarian New Order regime — but the problems have become more plural,” he said.

Nanang was also involved in the 1998 student protests.

It seems that Indonesia’s intelligentsia living abroad have taken one step ahead by staging

protests not only on social media but also on the streets.
