Literary works have a big role in shaping and changing people's thoughts, feelings, attitudes, opinions, and behaviors about women. This is inseparable from the ideology of feminism of literary works, one of which is in the form of short stories (short stories) based on a gender perspective. This paper aims to describe Sara Mills feminist ideology using a procedure for simultaneous analysis of critical discourse. Based on this goal, the author encourages the author to study in a literature study entitled " Representation of Abortion Women in Short Stories Jeritan dalam Botol by Intan Paramaditha: A Critical Discourse Analysis of Sara Mills' Perspective". This type and approach of research is a qualitative-descriptive method with a method of critical discourse analysis developed by Sara Mills, which is also often referred to as critical discourse analysis with a 'feminist' perspective. The results of the writing show the perspective in which women are beings who have the right to their bodies absolutely because they are the ones who best understand and understand their own circumstances. The act of Abortion is also as a self-existence against patriarchy even though the act of abortion is considered by the wider community as an act of error, in this short story the author tries to narrate the acceptable reasons for the act of abortion both from the abortionist and those that help the abortion process (abortion shaman). The problem of abortion is not only death but a complexity in life choices.

Abstract

This study explores the use of language technology and AI tools, specifically Google Translate (GT) and ChatGPT, among first-year and final-year students at a private higher education institution in Kebumen. The study aims to identify differences and similarities in the use of these tools, focusing on how their usage varies based on academic stage and language-related needs. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed, with 121 students participating through fully completed online questionnaires. The study utilizes both closed- and open-ended questions to gather quantitative and qualitative data on AI usage patterns, which were analyzed through descriptive and thematic analysis methods. The results indicate that GT is more frequently used across both groups due to its ease of use, offering quick and direct translations, while ChatGPT is preferred for tasks requiring deeper understanding and more natural, context-sensitive translations. First-year students primarily use AI tools to translate unknown words and assist with basic comprehension of foreign language materials. In contrast, final-year students demonstrate a more diverse usage pattern, employing AI for tasks such as translating academic texts, understanding journal articles, and preparing for foreign language proficiency tests. Furthermore, the academic needs of the two groups differ significantly, with first-year students focusing on writing and grammar tasks, while final-year students rely more heavily on AI for research and advanced academic activities. The study contributes to the understanding of how language technology and AI tools impact academic life and offers insights into how these tools can be integrated into the educational process to meet the varying needs of students at different levels of study.

Abstract

The Indonesian government has introduced a deep learning approach based on three principles: mindful, meaningful, and joyful learning. This approach is considered essential to address learning challenges by ensuring that education is not only focused on content mastery but also on the application of knowledge in real-life contexts. Learning English as a general course for non-English major university students often faces challenges of low motivation, limited engagement, and lack of perceived relevance. Applying deep learning principles in this context is therefore urgent, as it can help create a more supportive learning atmosphere, enhance student motivation, and strengthen the practical connection between English and students’ real-life needs. This study aims to explore deep learning approach implementation and the impacts for non-English major university students who learn English as general course.  This research employed a qualitative descriptive method using a closed-ended questionnaire based on a Likert scale, distributed to 108 students from three different study programs. The data were analyzed through data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing, validated by source triangulation. The results show that the majority of students perceived that lecturers successfully applied the principles of mindful (90%), meaningful (96%), and joyful learning (95.6%) in the learning process. Students reported increased focus, emotional engagement, relevance of the material to real-life contexts, and higher learning motivation. These findings indicate that the deep learning approach has a significantly positive impact on the effectiveness of English language learning. However, a small portion of students expressed disagreement, suggesting that there is still room for improvement, particularly regarding lecturer readiness and infrastructure support. Therefore, educator training and capacity building are essential steps to ensure the successful implementation of deep learning.
