Abstract

This study examines Lightning McQueen’s character transformation in Cars (2006) using Lajos Egri’s three-dimensional character theory, which includes physiological, sociological, and psychological aspects. While animated films are often seen as mere entertainment, there is a gap between theoretical models of character development and their application in animated storytelling. The purpose of this study is to analyze how complex character growth can be portrayed in animation through Egri’s framework. A qualitative approach was used, with data collected by watching the film, analyzing the script, and identifying key scenes that reflect McQueen’s changes. The analysis examines twenty data points showing his development: physiologically, he appears more controlled, sociologically, he develops relationships in Radiator Springs, and psychologically, he becomes more empathetic and self-aware. The findings indicate that Egri’s theory effectively captures character transformation in animated narratives. This study argues that meaningful character growth can be achieved in animation, bridging theory and practice while demonstrating its narrative depth.

Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the impact and efficacy of the Online Speaking Test (OST) application on students' motivation and self-efficacy to optimize English learning and produce students with greater English language proficiency. Using a variety of techniques, such as pre-test, observation, interviews, treatment in using the OST, and post-tests to see whether changes had occurred before and after the treatment, 102 university students from various faculties in Bali’s university participated in this study. Employing the OST, the research revealed variations between the factors of rising and decreasing student motivation, anxiety, and self-confidence following treatment and post-treatment. Nevertheless, there was a very small variation in the proportion of students whose self-confidence improved following therapy, which was brought on by variations in the students' English proficiency levels. The students with excellent proficiency inboth comprehending and using English did not encounter major challenges when using the online speaking test. Students who feel less confident, on the other hand, have a different experience. Due to differences in prior learning experience, learner characteristics, teaching and learning methods, learners’ motivations and the urgency of language acquisition, an OST may results differently according several factors affecting the learners intrinsically and extrinsically.
