Abstract

In communication, speaking acts as a productive skill that allows a person to convey ideas and meanings through voice articulation. In the context of English learning, it is important to find method/approach/technique that can stimulate students' interest in practicing speaking skills. Script from a movie offers advantages in improving speaking skills as they are able to capture students' attention and stimulate their curiosity. The aim of this paper is to assess the impact of employing movie scripts in the classroom to enhance students' speaking abilities. Fifty-eight English department students from a State Islamic University in Aceh participated in the study. They were divided into two groups: control (NUMS-None of Using Movie Script) and experimental (UMS-Using Movie Script). Prior to and subsequent to the treatment, they were screened. The students in the experimental group were assigned a task to create a video recording in groups of five characters from a movie at the conclusion of each meeting. They were also provided with a movie script and interactive instruction by the teachers. The results of the study suggest that there was a substantial difference between the pre-test and post-test. The mean difference of both post-tests was 65.9310 for the experimental group and 55.5862 for the control group. As the result, students' speaking ability improved after they learned how to use movie scripts properly, which enabled them to gain confidence, overcome the challenge of memorizing the script, easily organize ideas, and enrich their vocabulary stock. Accordingly, the mean score of the pre-test increased more than that of the post-test.

Abstract

This article offers a fresh reconstruction of the theory of knowledge embedded within Jalāl al-Dīn Rūmī’s prose collection Fihi Ma Fihi or "It Is What It Is" (in English), focusing specifically on how the text treats language, meaning, and truth. Popular and academic attention to Rūmī has concentrated overwhelmingly on his poetic achievement and his standing as a towering figure of Sufi devotion, however, this paper argues that his recorded discourses contain a coherent, if never formally systematized. An objection to what may be called linguistic representationalism: the widely held philosophical assumption that language is capable of mirroring reality accurately. The study examines passages from Fihi Ma Fihi in which Rūmī by using a hermeneutic method of close reading, takes up questions about the nature of words, the boundaries of meaning, and the preconditions for spiritual insight. The analysis shows that Rūmī treats language consistently as a symbolic device rather than as a direct canal to truth: words operate as signs that point the seeker toward reality while remaining structurally unable to deliver the immediacy of lived, embodied, and spiritual experience. Rūmī views truth is not something linguistic representation can exhaust; rather, it is realized through existential engagement and direct experiential knowing (inner knowledge), which the Islamic mystical tradition terms ma’rifah. The article contends that Rūmī’s view foreshadowed modern Western philosophy of language, linking his thought within ongoing discourses on religious epistemology and the philosophy of mysticism.

Abstract

The dispute between al-Ghazālī (d. 1111) and Ibn Rushd (d. 1198) is typically told as a doctrinal fight over twenty metaphysical theses, with Ibn Rushd's charge that al-Ghazālī confuses demonstrative (burhānī), dialectical (jadalī) and rhetorical (khaṭābī) argument treated as polemical cover. We argue the dependency runs the other way. The doctrinal disputes are downstream of a prior conflict over the ontology of discourse: what a register is, and what fixes the register of an utterance. Ibn Rushd holds register-realism: registers are capacity-indexed, tracking stable divisions among kinds of mind, thus a text's register is settled in advance by its audience. Al-Ghazālī holds register-instrumentalism: registers are function-indexed, chosen for an occasion and a therapeutic end, so one author may shift registers within a work, and one text may act differently on different readers. Three consequences follow. Ibn Rushd's charge of “mixing” detects no fallacy but commits a category error, his taxonomy has no gap for immanent critique. His own second-order theory is performatively bound, the Faṣl al-Maqāl asserts demonstration's supremacy in a juridical-dialectical register that cannot, by his criteria, establish it. And beneath both lies a semantic disagreement: reading the veils of light in the Mishkāt al-Anwār, we take al-Ghazālī to locate obstruction in conceptuality rather than falsity, prising truth-yielding apart from adequacy to the object. The dispute prefigures a modern contest between ascriptive and enactive theories of genre.
