The third wave has put the information technology era. Communication and
transportation occupy important role in people migration from one place to another. This
occurred to students of Pattani Thailand who migrated to Indonesia to study in UIN SGD in
Bandung. They encountered problems to communicate across cultures and adapt to a new
environment.
This study will focus intercultural communication competence of Pattani students.
To deal with the subject, the study used a qualitative approach, data collected through
interviews by a non-participant observation and document analysis. The theory used
intercultural communication of Gudykuns, data analysis model of Miles and Huberman that
relies on data analysis. The study concluded that Pattani students did not have enough
culture cognition; see themselves as exclusive group; insufficient interaction with
surrounding community; closed attitudes; verbal communication behavior; and less active in
interpersonal relationship.

development, now it’s available in Android, Blackberry, Windows Phone, and also Symbian
version. It’s also the most downloaded application in the world these days, especially for
smartphone users. To operate WhatsApp, it needs no credit like text messaging, because it
only needs internet data
(
EDGE/3G
)
or wifi. WhatsApp user’s contact can be automatically

The purpose of this writing paper is to give instant comprehension about using
WhatsApp media on baby’s growth and development activities which babysitted on child day
care. True, baby is inseparable from how their childhood educational proceed in the family.
Every parents are given mandate to take care the birth and first steps of human lives. Through
parent’s hand, every helpless little babies are gently loved with warmth, given nutritions, and
also breastfeeding, etc. In the other side, for the sake of decent living and survival, young
mothers have a limited time so that they need to put their babies in the child day care.
Several notable ideas in this writing can be referral to many parties. Especially about
the importance of WhatsApp as a media for child day care supervision. WhatsApp is used to
create and establish communication between parents and the day care. Parents usually left
their babies from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily. This day care is truly an answer to parent’s limited
time for taking care of their children. In this writing, the writer situated the WhatsApp
Messenger as an effective means with hope that it is capable to bridge the communication
between day care and parents so that lessons taught to the babies in the day care can be

This research aims to understand the result of mathematical learning of Class IV student in elementary school.
(1) Discovering the influence of the Contextual Approach to the student’s motivation.
(2) Discovering whether the Contextual Approach can increase student’s motivation by equalizing the denominator for the class IV students. The Research uses descriptive method by using inferential statistical analysis
technique. “Descriptive method is a method that focuses to solving current and actual issues. Inferential statistical technique is a statistical method to analyses sample data and creating general inference for the population.”
(Nisfiannoor, 2009:4). The approach used by the research is the quantitative approach. Quantitative approach is a research approach that uses statistical technique to test hypotheses and research instrument to be used to uncover data in a certain measurement scale, to be able to create a generalized statement for the whole population.
(Sudjana and Ibrahim, 2004:8). There are several conclusions to be inferred from the result of the research. From the cyclical analysis, the improvement of the learning capacity was successfully implemented in the cycle I, cycle II, or even cycle III. Cycle I experienced an increase in average class scores from 42 to 72. Cycle II also experienced increasing from 72 to 81. While Cycle III experienced increasing from 81 to 83. The increases in scores are due to the improvement in the teacher’s teaching method by implementing contextual approach. The approach ultimately increases the students’ enjoyment of the learning, leading to an increase in the motivation for learning, therefore increasing the result of the learning itself. If the learning result improves, the quality of the education in the school also improves.

This paper reported the attempt teachers did in developing native-like (NLS) listening materials for their EFL learners using a text-to-speech (TTS) technology. Observation was carried out to record teachers’ procedures for developing NLS materials. Interview with teachers were undertaken to explore their’ perceptions towards the NLS listening materials and the benefits they gained from developing instructional media using technology. In addition, a questionnaire was distributed to 65 eight-grade pupils to gather information related to their opinions regarding the listening materials developed and used by their teachers. The findings show that teachers and pupils responded positively towards the NLS materials for listening comprehension. In addition, teachers were found to have more confidence in teaching listening skill while using the technology. There are three conditions which endorse this teaching confidence: the suitability of instructional materials used with the learning curriculum and pupils’ level of English proficiency, teachers’ self-efficacy to the teaching task, and the integration of technology in classroom teaching. The study suggests that TTS system can be used as computer assisted language learning (CALL) application particularly in the development of listening comprehension materials. The study also confirms earlier studies that teacher professional development can be promoted through integrated training on technology for classroom use.
