Abstract

Teaching and learning languages involve more than targeting grammatical and lexical knowledge. To achieve communicative competence in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) context, EFL learners need to develop their intercultural competence. This article proposes one of influential aspects of target culture (i.e. stereotypes) that may be encountered by EFL learners in learning. Further, the author argues why learners need to be exposed with stereotyping features across cultures and how this can be incorporated into English Language Teaching (ELT) by providing an example of teaching activities that can be adapted in a language classroom. Briefly, it is expected that this article may provide EFL teachers with a better understanding of integrating intercultural elements of a target language in their teaching practice. In turn, this may be useful to facilitate EFL learners in developing their intercultural communicative competence particularly with regards to cultural stereotype features.

Abstract

The study aims to contribute to the understanding of female agency in literary works and its significance in the broader societal context. This study examines how Suzanne Collins' 2008 novel, The Hunger Games, addresses female autonomy. This study adopts a descriptive research approach. The data collection technique employed in this research is observation, conducted by reading the text of The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins (2008). Furthermore, the data analysis technique utilized in this study is thematic analysis. Thematic analysis is used to identify patterns and overarching themes within the novel. The steps of this research include familiarizing oneself with the novel’s text, generating initial codes, identifying themes, reviewing and naming themes, and presenting the analysis results. The study extracts data from the text and contextual elements, employing known theories to decipher the novel's layers of meaning. The findings offer a multidimensional view of how The Hunger Games empowers its female characters within the fabric of agency against societal inequalities. Additionally, through a qualitative inquiry informed by Freudian theory, the study enriches scholarly discourse on self-injury behavior in literature, providing insights into human nature and the relevance of psychological theory in understanding literary representations of the human condition.

Abstract

EFL learners consider reading English texts as a tiresome and unpleasant task that must be completed since they are not used to being exposed to interesting reading materials (Lee, 2015, p. 66). Digital children’s literature allows EFL learners to experience reading books interactively. This research aims to investigate whether using digital children’s literature prathambooks.org has a significant effect on EFL college students’ reading anxiety. prathambooks.org is a web-based story book that provides an open-access repository through the prathambooks.org feature. This study examined 184 undergraduate students enrolled in Introduction to Literature at Universitas Negeri Padang's English Department during the 2022/2023 academic year. Data were collected via a 26-item reading anxiety questionnaire adapted from Ahmad et al. (2013), administered pre- and post-intervention. The intervention consisted of a 15-day program utilizing 15 digital stories from Prathambooks.org, supplemented with comprehension and vocabulary exercises. This protocol was designed to investigate the effects of digital children's literature on college-level reading anxiety. The finding showed a positive effect on students’ reading anxiety after following reading treatment. The students’ post-response scores decreased significantly by about 4.04%, from 70.51% to 66.47%. This research proves that integrating prathambooks.org with structured exercises as reading material has a significant effect on decreasing EFL college students’ reading anxiety.
