Abstract

ChatGPT is regarded as a beneficial resource for learning, as it offers feedback and support throughout the academic writing process. The current literature primarily focuses on the benefits and drawbacks of ChatGPT, with a relatively minor emphasis on the students’ actual experiences in the local higher education setting. This paper is written to explore students’ experiences, perceptions, and reflections in relation to their use of ChatGPT for improving academic writing performance. A pilot study was conducted using an online open-response questionnaire distributed to the second-semester students enrolled in the academic writing course in the English Literature Study Program. A total of thirty-two students were identified as the target group for participation; however, only fourteen were able to fully complete the questionnaire. The students responded to the questionnaire items addressing the integration of ChatGPT in academic writing, writing quality and confidence, students' beliefs and concerns about ChatGPT, as well as the difficulties they face concerning plagiarism. The findings indicated that students did not frequently use ChatGPT for writing assistance. In addition, the themes emerged from students’ responses included the development of ideas, the provision of feedback, the autonomy of writers, grammar, vocabulary, sentence construction, structuring of paragraph and essay, awareness of the limitations of ChatGPT, and the maintenance of academic integrity. Understanding students’ voices on ChatGPT can help educators in making informed decisions on the use of AI tools in academic writing instruction. A limited sample size is more susceptible to bias, and therefore future studies should involve larger samples employing a variety of research designs.

Abstract

Language plays a central role in political communication, particularly through the use of metaphor, which enables leaders to simplify complex issues and influence public perception. In the digital era, cinematic metaphors drawn from popular films and television series have become increasingly visible in political discourse. This study examines cinematic metaphors in two of President Joko Widodo’s international speeches delivered in 2018. Using a descriptive qualitative design, the analysis applies Conceptual Metaphor Theory and Critical Metaphor Analysis to identify and interpret metaphors derived from Avengers: Infinity War and Game of Thrones. Fourteen cinematic metaphors were identified and categorized into four conceptual mappings: ECONOMIC CONFLICT IS WAR, LEADERS ARE HEROES, ECONOMIC UNCERTAINTY IS NATURAL DISASTER, and INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS ARE A GAME OF POWER. The findings show that these metaphors function not only as linguistic devices but also as rhetorical strategies that construct meaning, highlight global risks, and legitimize Jokowi’s call for cooperation. The study concludes that cinematic metaphors enhance accessibility and emotional resonance in political messaging by connecting global issues with familiar cultural narratives. The originality of this research lies in its focus on cinematic metaphors in Indonesian political speech—an area rarely examined in prior studies—and its integration of cognitive and rhetorical perspectives to explain how popular culture shapes contemporary political discourse.

Abstract

Background:  This study explored how students with high and low English reading proficiency employed online reading strategies when engaging with academic texts. It focused on sixth-semester of undergraduate students in Kalimantan Island. Guided by metacognitive theory, which highlights learners’ ability to monitor and regulate reading processes, this study addressed the growing importance of online academic reading in higher education.  Methodology:  A comparative qualitative design was employed. Six students were purposively selected based on their TOEFL reading scores to represent different proficiency levels. Data were gathered through semi-structured interviews and analyzed thematically to identify strategy use, reasons behind their choices, and the difficulties encountered. Findings:  Students applied global, problem-solving, and support strategies differently based on proficiency. High-proficiency students read with clear goals, adjusted pace, and used contextual clues. Low-proficiency students focused on task completion, avoided long texts, and depended on external tools. While both slowed down when necessary, high-proficiency students showed more control. In support strategies, high-proficiency students used selective notes and minimal translation, while low-proficiency students relied on full translation. Conclusion:  Strategy use was shaped by reading habits, learning experience, and proficiency level. Common difficulties included eye strain and lengthy texts, while vocabulary and technical problems varied. These findings highlight the need for proficiency-sensitive strategy instruction that also supports effective use of digital reading tools and helps students manage screen-based reading challenges. Originality:  This study fills a gap by comparing online reading strategies across proficiency levels in academic contexts. It provides insight into how cognitive and contextual factors shape digital reading behavior
