Abstract

This paper aims to present ecofeminist insights into the connection between the domination toward women and nature through reading of Barbara Kingsolver’s short story, Homeland. Environment destruction that has occurred in decades endangers the life on earth. Based on the ecofeminism, the one who gets the worst impact of this devastation is women. Furthermore, the ecofeminists say that there is a very close relation between women and nature.  Clean water, forest, farming, and health become women’s concern. In short, these two ideas let women become aware of the environmental issues. They will take action or speak out whenever environment is mistreated or abused. In Homeland, Kingsolver presents a picture of American Indian descendants life that gives high appreciation to nature embedded in their traditional values and customs through the female characters.  She brings us to the fascinating exploration of the values that shows the connection between domination over women and nature. However, modernism brings about alienation toward her ancestor’s land.

Abstract

Academic success among EFL learners is closely linked to their foundational skills in reading comprehension. However, many students continue to struggle with understanding English texts within a limited timeframe. This difficulty stems from the fundamental purpose of reading: to comprehend written content in order to follow specific instructions. Since cognitive and metacognitive strategies are interrelated where metacognitive strategies oversee and regulate cognitive processes, their combined use is considered effective in enhancing reading comprehension skills. This study aims to investigate the extent to which cognitive and metacognitive reading strategies simultaneously impact EFL students' reading comprehension using mixed methods (quantitative-qualitative) of one-group pre-experimental design. Data were obtained through English literacy pre-test and post-tests, questionnaires, and classroom observation. The treatments were cognitive and metacognitive reading strategies taught by two expert teachers to 60 EFL students. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics to investigate EFL students' reading comprehension and their reading strategy awareness before and after treatment. Inferential statistics using paired sample t-tests revealed a significant difference between EFL students’ reading comprehension before and after treatment (p-value<0.05). Analysis of multiple linear regression also revealed a significant impact of cognitive and metacognitive reading strategies on EFL students’ reading comprehension simultaneously (p-value<0.05 and FComputed>FTable) with an impact of 43.8% (moderate). Qualitative data analyzed descriptively revealed that almost all EFL students showed positive attitudes during the treatment given. This study is expected to present significant contributions for teachers to implement various cognitive and metacognitive reading strategies in their reading classes to enhance EFL students’ reading comprehension and assist them in overcoming the difficulties they face during the reading process.

Abstract

Abstract This study aims to compare the utilization of commissive acts in Grammarly and QuillBot advertisements on YouTube from a pragmatic perspective. In digital advertising, brands often use language to express commitments that influence viewer behavior. However, limited research has focused on how brands strategically use commissive acts to build trust and persuade viewers. This study specifically analyzes how commissive acts like promises, guarantees, and offers are utilized by Grammarly and QuillBot to convey brand commitments and influence viewer perceptions. A qualitative descriptive methods were applied to fourteen video advertisements (seven per brand) published between 2021 and 2025. Each commissive utterance was identified, categorized by type, and analyzed using the illocutionary force indicator device (IFID). The findings revealed 33 guarantees, 24 promises, and 4 offers in the Grammarly advertisements, while QuillBot displayed 14 guarantees, 11 promises, and 26 offers. In addition, ten informants participated in a Likert-scale questionnaire and semi-structured interviews to assess the clarity, persuasiveness, and credibility of commissive messages. The results showed that Grammarly tended to emphasize emotionally driven promises and assurances to build credibility, while QuillBot focused on functional offers related to academic tasks. The informants generally considered Grammarly’s commissive acts clearer and more persuasive, while QuillBot’s were perceived as practical but less emotionally appealing. The study concludes that commissive acts play an important role in digital brand communication and that pragmatic analysis provides valuable insights into how linguistic strategies shape audience responses.

Abstract

The oppression of women in patriarchal societies often disguises itself as empowerment through cultural practices that appear to offer temporary freedom. One such practice is bacha posh, a tradition in Afghanistan where girls are allowed to adopt the identity of boys to access mobility, education, and social privileges. While often regarded as an act of cultural adaptation or empowerment, this tradition remains underexplored in terms of how it perpetuates gender-based oppression. This study analyzes how bacha posh is portrayed in Nadia Hashimi’s The Pearl That Broke Its Shell, revealing how the practice, though appearing liberating, ultimately sustains patriarchal control. Using qualitative textual analysis, the study applies Iris Marion Young’s Five Faces of Oppression and Jacques Derrida’s Deconstruction theory to examine how the characters in the novel experience exploitation, marginalization, powerlessness, cultural imperialism, and violence. The findings show that the advantages girls receive while performing as boys are not rooted in equality but in submission to masculine norms. When they return to their female identities, these privileges are stripped away, exposing the illusion of empowerment. The study concludes that bacha posh, rather than resisting oppression towards women, perpetuates it by allowing only conditional access to power while keeping oppressive structures intact.

Abstract

Reading is a fundamental language skill that plays a key role in students’ academic success, yet in faith-based schools English reading instruction often lacks integration with Islamic values and character formation. While previous studies have highlighted the need for contextualized materials, limited research has offered a systematic model that aligns English reading with Islamic content and the Emancipated Curriculum (Kurikukum Merdeka). This study therefore aimed to design, validate, and evaluate an English reading instructional model that incorporates Islamic themes and the ten Muwashafat. Employing a Research and Development (R&D) design using the ADDIE framework, the study involved English teachers and students at an Integrated Islamic Senior High School in Semarang, Indonesia. Data were gathered through collaborative classroom action research (CAR) combining questionnaires, observations, interviews, and pre/post tests. The model produced includes a conceptual framework, syllabus, lesson plans, and Islamic-themed reading texts structured through the IMPACT sequence (Initiate, Map, Perceive, Analyze, Construct, Think back). Expert evaluation confirmed its feasibility with average ratings of 3.53–3.67, while classroom implementation demonstrated effectiveness, as students’ reading scores increased from 6.8 (pre-test) to 7.8 (post-test), alongside positive improvements in engagement, classroom climate, and character development. The findings conclude that integrating Islamic content with character-based values strengthens English reading instruction in faith-based contexts, and future researchers are encouraged to adapt and expand the model across diverse educational settings.
