Extensive Reading

...Making Use of English Subtitled K-Pop MV in Exploring Students’ Extensive Reading Comprehension YUNINGSIH Telkom University, Indonesia yuningsihlegiman@gmail.com ABSTRACT Studies on captions and subtitles in EFL learning gave positive effects on comprehension and vocabulary acquisition (Chung, 1996, Neurnan & Koskinen, 1992; Price, 1983; Vanderplank, 1988, 1993). Using song in ELT was highly impressive and motivating (Murphey, 1992; Lied, 2000). This study was designed to investigate the use of English-subtitled K-Pop MV in exploring students’ extensive reading ability. In this case study, five students, four girls and one boy, were selected. To collect the data, document analysis and an in-depth interview were conducted. The findings showed in comprehending the song, the students’ interpretations were still shallow and relying heavily on summary of narrative with very low-level inference. Meanwhile in vocabulary acquisition, it helped their better understanding wider range vocabulary, either in English or Korean. In addition, using K-Pop for learning English was more interesting and enjoyable, it is also motivating. Overall, using English-subtitle on K-Pop can be used as an alternative way to enliven extensive reading. Keywords: Subtitle, comprehension, extensive reading, interpretation, inference. INTRODUCTION The Korean wave—”hallyu” in Korean—refers to a surge in the international visibility of Korean culture, beginning in East Asia in the 1990s and continuing...

...Cheska Jane G. Arriola Ms. Benetha Huera English 2 20 February 2013 Korean Pop invasion in the Philippines: a Threat to OPM? I. Introduction For the past few years, there has been a distinctive foreign genre that catches the attention of Filipino music lovers. Thousands of Filipinos especially teenagers go crazy over the so what called “K-pop” music. K-pop is an abbreviation for the term Korean pop which is continuously making a buzz not only in the Philippines but also in other parts of the world. Holden defined K-pop as “a musical genre and subculture originating in South Korea which comprises a wide spectrum of musical and visual elements” (144). If Korea has what they call as K-pop, the Philippines has its very own “OPM” or Original Pilipino Music. OPM is referred to as “Philippine pop songs, particularly ballads, such as those popular after the collapse of its predecessor, the Manila Sound, in the late 1970s, up until the present” (Basijan 18). The spread of K-pop music in the country resulted to K-pop invasion or what others refer to as “K-pop fever”. Unknown to some, this phenomenon is giving threats to the OPM industry since it affects many aspects of it. Because of the Korean Pop invasion in the Philippines which influences a lot of Filipino teenagers to patronize K-pop music, it poses threats to the Original Pilipino Music industry in terms of the album sales, organization of local concerts and the worst is, it might be more popular than OPM in the near future.

...KABANATA I ANG SULIRANIN AT KALIGIRANG PANGKASAYSAYAN PANIMULA Marami ng iba’t ibang “genre” ng musika ang umusbong sa pagtagal ng panahon, gaya na lamang ng “pop,” “rock,” “emo,” ” jazz” at iba pa. Sa panahon ngayon, partikular sa bansang Pilipinas, maraming humahanga sa “KPOP,” ito ay pinaikling salita ng “Korean Pop.” Kadalasang tinedyer ang tumatangkilik ng musikang ito. Hindi lingid sa kaalaman ng nakararami na nasa lenggwaheng koreano ang mga liriko ng mga kanta na ito. Kaya naman kakaunti lamang ang may kakayahang makaintindi nito. Sa pamamagitan ng mga teknolohiya, mabilis na sumikat, nakilala, at naipakalat ang “KPOP” na musika sa buong mundo, gaya na lamang ng “youtube” na kinalalagyan ng iba’t ibang “video.” Ito ang nagiging daan upang makilala o malaman ng mga tao ang mga bagong musika sa panahon ngayon. Maaari rin ang iba’t ibang “website” sa “internet,” gaya ng “facebook,” “twitter,” at iba pa. Maging sa telebisyon ay naipapalabas ang mga grupo na mga koreano na gumagawa ng mga kantang “KPOP.” Bukod sa galling kumanta at sumayaw ng mga koreanong kabilang sa isang grupo na gumagawa ng kantang “KPOP,” dahil na rin sa ganda, gwapo, at galling nilang pumorma kaya naman madali nilang nakuha ang atensyon ng maraming tao, partikular mga tinedyer. “KPOP” o “Korean Pop” ay isang uri ng musika na nadebelop sa bansang Korea kaya naman puro koreano at koreana ang mga gumagawa ng mga kanta nito na nakasalin sa kanilang sariling wika.
