Abstract

Drilling means listening to a model, provided by the teacher, or a tape or another student, and repeating what is heard. This is a repetition drill, a technique that is still used by many teachers when introducing new language items to their students. The teacher says (models) the word or phrase and the students repeat it. Drilling provides learners with intensive practice in hearing and saying particular words or phrases. They can help learners get their tongues around difficult sounds or help them imitate intonation that may be rather different from that of their first language. It is a right choice to learn stress pattern of English words because students can memorize those patterns easily and quickly. Intonation patterns that are crucial to meaning may also be usefully practised through drilling.

Abstract

This thesis analyzes the narrative structure of Baz Luhrmann’s 2013 adaptation of The Great Gatsby using A.J. Greimas’ actantial model. The study aims to explore how the roles of actants influence the story’s progression and themes, and how the narrative structure shapes character relationships within the film. Employing a qualitative descriptive method, the research identifies and categorizes the six actants—Subject, Object, Sender, Receiver, Helper, and Opponent—within the movie’s plot. The analysis reveals that Jay Gatsby functions as the Subject in pursuit of Daisy Buchanan, the Object, with the supporting characters embodying various actantial roles that shape the film’s development. The study also applies Greimas’ canonical narrative schema to examine the narrative progression through stages of Manipulation, Competence, Performance, and Sanction. Findings show that the movie’s narrative structure not only follows a classical storytelling model but also reflects deeper socio-cultural themes such as the illusion of the American Dream, class struggle, and identity. Through this approach, the research highlights how structuralist narrative theory enhances the understanding of character dynamics and thematic complexity in cinematic adaptations of literary works.

Abstract

The development of social media has created new spaces for language use while also providing opportunities to introduce and represent local cultures. Local culture-themed content presented in English serves not only a communicative function but also has the potential to become an authentic resource for language learning. This study aims to analyze morphological variations in English found in social media content related to local culture and to examine their relevance to English language learning. This study employs a descriptive qualitative approach, using words and morphological forms found in local culture-themed social media content as the data. The data are analyzed based on word-formation processes, including affixation, derivation, inflection, compounding, and other relevant morphological processes. The findings are then examined in terms of their potential use as contextual and culture-based English learning resources. This study is expected to demonstrate that social media content not only represents the diversity of local cultures but also provides authentic resources for understanding the use and formation of English words. The findings are expected to contribute to the development of English language learning that utilizes digital technology while integrating local cultural contexts.
