Borobudur Temple
 

    Last week I was visiting Borobudur temple. It was a great temple and one of the biggest Buddhist temples in the world. I had been there for several times and I still love to go there again and again. I know a little bit about the history of the restoration of the Borobudur Temple.

    Borobudur temple was built in 9th-century in (now) Magelang city, Central Java, Indonesia. That temple was built during the reign of Sailendra Dynasty as the symbolic monument retelling the life of Buddha in which people can learn about Buddhist religion. The temple was design in Javanese Buddhist architecture as the acculturation of Indian and Javanese culture.

    Some evidences and theories suggest that Borobudur temple was disappeared during the reign of Hindu kingdoms and Islam in java in 14th-century and the years after it. It was disappeared because of the eruption of Merapi Mountain that buried most of the surrounding area including Borobudur. But because of that eruption then the temple was survived and untouchable until in 1814 during the British colonialization, Sir Thomas Stamford Raffles (the British ruler of Java at that time) got information that there was a hill with carved texture. After that Thomas Stamford Raffles made a project to dig and clear that area and after 2 mounts working the Borobudur temple was appeared. But of course at that time the face of Borobudur was extremely different from it appearance today.

    Since it was found the British government restored that temple and continued by the Dutch government. The largest restoration was undertaken by Indonesian government and UNESCO between 1975 until 1982. Since that now we can enjoy and learn about the beauty of the Borobudur Temple.

Welcome to my page! Before you start the learning it's better for you to know little about Self Access Language Learning Here is the definition of Autonomy from some researcher By : 1981 Holec (1981: 3) had defined autonomy as ‘the ability to take charge of one’s own learning’. Dickinson (1987: 11) accepts the definition of autonomy as a ‘situation in which the learners is totally responsible for all of the decisions concerned with his/her learning and the implementation of those decision’. Little (1990: 7) sees learner autonomy as ‘essentially a matter of the learner psychological relation to the process and content of learning’.
