Abstract

This study aims to explore teachers' perspectives on the use of the animated video Tory-Boo in teaching English literacy to early childhood learners. This study used a descriptive qualitative method. Participants in this study were six English teachers who teach early childhood learners and have experience using animated videos in their classrooms. Data were collected using a semi-structured interview guide. All interview data were recorded and transcribed. The research data were analyzed and categorized into several themes. Member checking was also conducted to ensure the validity of the data. The results showed that teachers generally had a positive perspective on the use of the animated video Tory-Boo. The video was considered an engaging and effective learning medium that can increase student motivation, support vocabulary development, and enhance comprehension through visual and contextual input. In addition, the use of animated videos facilitated interactive and student-centered learning through various follow-up activities. However, several challenges were also identified, including technical constraints, classroom management, and the need to select content appropriate to students' language proficiency levels. This study suggests that animated videos can be a valuable tool in teaching English literacy when supported by appropriate pedagogical strategies.

Abstract

For final-year English as a Foreign Language (EFL) students, producing final reports is an important academic milestone. However, little research has been done on how students feel about this process in vocational higher education settings. The purpose of this study was to look into the actual experiences of final-year Diploma III EFL students when preparing their final reports. Twelve final-year students from Politeknik Negeri Sriwijaya's English Study Program participated in semi-structured interviews to gather data using a qualitative phenomenological approach. Thematic analysis was then used for analysis. Academic and research-related difficulties, emotional experiences, sources of support, coping mechanisms, and academic and personal development were the five main themes that emerged from the findings. Finding pertinent references, writing literature reviews, analyzing data, structuring ideas, and using academic writing conventions in English were all challenges faced by the participants. Stress, perplexity, frustration, exhaustion, anxiety, and self-doubt frequently accompanied these difficulties. However, students were able to handle them and maintain their motivation with the help of peers, family, supervisors, and online resources. Goal-setting, time management, asking for help, sticking to regular work schedules, and self-motivation were among the coping mechanisms used by them. The final report writing process was seen as a life-changing event that improved research competency, academic writing skills, critical thinking, independence, resilience, confidence, and problem-solving abilities despite the obstacles. The study comes to the conclusion that writing final reports is a significant learning experience that advances students' academic, personal, and professional development in addition to being a graduation requirement.

Abstract

This research explores the use of figurative language in the album The Car by Arctic Monkeys, focusing on its role in enhancing lyrical depth within the alternative rock genre. The main objectives are to identify the types of figurative language used and determine the most prevalent type in the album’s lyrics. A descriptive qualitative research design was employed, with data collected by active listening and recording of linguistic phenomena, specifically by analyzing lyrics from the Genius website and listening to the album on Spotify. The analysis was guided by Perrine’s (2017) framework, which categorizes figurative language into 12 types: simile, metaphor, personification, apostrophe, synecdoche, metonymy, symbol, allegory, paradox, hyperbole, understatement, and irony. The findings reveal 64 instances of figurative language across the album’s 10 songs, with metaphor being the most frequent (22 instances), followed by symbol (14 instances), irony (11 instances), personification (7 instances), hyperbole (4 instances), paradox (3 instances), understatement (1 instance), simile (1 instance), and synecdoche (1 instance). Notably, apostrophe, metonymy, and allegory were absent. The study concludes that figurative language significantly enriches the artistic expression of The Car, making the lyrics more engaging and emotionally resonant. These findings contribute to understanding the creative use of language in alternative rock music.
