| dc.description.abstract | Language is a means of communications; it can be in spoken language, in a written text, in speech or in teaching-learning process. The language used in communication must be clear, well organized, and understandable. W.F. Bolton said: the ability to use language is the most distinctive characteristic of human beings and yet most people taken their language ability for granted, never considering its richness and complexity. It is also said by Ludwig Wittgenstein the limit of language means the limit of my world. In English there is parts of speech consisting of noun, verb, adverb, adjective, conjunction, preposition, pronoun, and interjection. Taking one of them, the noun, has many representations with the same name ‘noun.’ It is not so simple to understand it. It needs some abilities to know it well. Almost students get little bit confused if they meet with noun in some representations. To know it better needs some ways, namely, reading a lot, rich of vocabulary, good knowledge in English especially noun with its various representations. It has the same meaning but has many different representations. Student-centered is a good way to increase the student’s ability to know ‘noun’ better. | en_US |
