Abstract

The teaching of English in Indonesia has been marked with the frequent changesin the curriculum. However, those changes do not imply whatsoever any changesin the way teachers deliver lessons in a moment-to-moment classroom teaching.We seem to be too much preoccupied with new concepts and perhaps approach toteaching English but fail to formulate how a certain concept can be translated intoclassroom methods and techniques. This paper seeks to shed a light on how a synthesisof various approaches in language learning can be achieved to provide favorablelearning atmosphere for students and more importantly how different theorieson language learning can be transformed into an operational method andtechniques in the classroom.

Abstract

This study aims to analyse code-mixing in Azka Corbuzier's YouTube videos, given the importance of language as a primary communication tool. Code-mixing, the combination of two languages within a single utterance, is intriguing to study in the context of using Indonesian and English simultaneously. Therefore, the main purpose of this study is to analyse the types of code mixing used by Azka Corbuzier's video YouTube channel and the factors that drive Azka Corbuzier to use code mixing in his utterances. This study collected data by watching and transcribing five episodes of Azka Corbuzier's video on the YouTube channel. Hoffman's theory of types of code-mixing, including intra-sentential, intralexical, and changes in pronunciation, guided the classification of the data. The results showed that intra-sentential code-mixing is the most common utterance, with 57 out of 60 total instances. We found three instances of intralexical code-mixing, but no instances of changes in pronunciation. Factors influencing Azka Corbuzier's use of code-mixing include habit, communication situations, topics, educational background, social prestige, language proficiency, and cultural influences. This study also concluded that Azka Corbuzier's videos, through code-mixing, reflect complex linguistic and social dynamics, where the use of two languages facilitates communication and expresses cultural identity.

Abstract

America is known as a country that emphasises freedom for its people. However, America has the highest crime rate in the world. Mass shootings are among the crimes that pose a major concern. This study aims to present the impacts of school shootings on victims, as well as the role of families and counselors in assisting the healing process of PTSD victims as depicted in the movie The Fallout (2022). The study employs a qualitative approach, utilizing primary data such as scenes, dialogues, and body language from the movie. The data collection method involves understanding the movie and sorting the data based on the study's objective. To analyze the main data, this research used two main theories, namely the PTSD theory by Freud (1917) and Symbolic Interactionism by Blumer (1986), and strengthened it by using additional data from scientific journals. This research concludes that victims of PTSD resulting from school shootings encounter various psychological symptoms, including alterations in their characteristics, avoidance of the tragedy, and the occurrence of nightmares. Through the process, family and counselors act as parties who can provide action and create a safe space for PTSD victims to heal.
