Abstract

Studies show that students who cheat at certain levels of education are more likely to do so at work or at later levels of education. One form of academic fraud is plagiarism. Some researchers claim that students deliberately plagiarize, while others plagiarize because they do not understand how to properly cite, paraphrase, or refer to sources. Therefore, this study aims to understand English as a Foreign Language (EFL) students' self-reported reason for internet plagiarism in Academic Writing class, as understanding the causes of student plagiarism is essential to properly addressing the problem. To obtain the data, a survey of respondents' reason for plagiarize was distributed to second, fourth and sixth trimester students of the Department of English in a private university. A total of 85 students participated in the survey. As a result, we found that some people, despite having a high level of understanding of plagiarism, admitted to intentionally plagiarizing for various reasons. Additionally, research shows that people do not understand that claiming work from a source as their own without acknowledging the source is part of plagiarism.DOI: 10.26905/enjourme.v7i2.8640

Abstract

Symbolism uses symbols to illustrate a deeper meaning than their literal meaning, which is vital in various cultural practices. In Javanese weddings, symbolism is deeply embedded in various ceremonies and rituals, each containing a deep meaning. These symbols reflect Javanese society's values, beliefs, and traditions, emphasizing harmony, unity, and a sense of tolerance. This study aims to describe and explain the symbols of Javaese traditional weddings in Pandansari Village, Malang Regency. The findings reveal that the Javanese traditional wedding in Pandansari Village has three main stages: pre-wedding, the wedding, and the post-wedding ceremony, with their sub-stages. The pre-wedding ceremony consists of three processions, the wedding has three processions, while the post-wedding ceremony has only one. Moreover, there are more sub-processions with their meanings and philosophies among the processions. Based on the limitations of this study, future study is expected to expand the scope of analysis by examining more symbols from other traditional wedding ceremonies in Javanese and other cultures and analyzing the meaning of the symbols in them to get a comparison and new understanding.

Abstract

This study presents a focused character analysis of Heaven Official's Blessing (book 1) by MXTX, a novel set in a fantastical world inspired by Chinese mythology. The narrative centers around Xie Lian, a former crown prince who ascends to become a martial god. The analysis aims to deepen understanding of the character types within the novel as it has only few prior academic studies conducted. By categorizing and examining these character types, the study reveals how each character functions within the story, enriching readers' comprehension of their roles. Character types are divided into two categories: major characters and minor characters. Major characters include the protagonist (Xie Lian), antagonist (Xuan Ji and Kemo), and tritagonist (Fu Yao and Nan Feng). Minor characters include foil (Pei Xiu), static (Ling Wen), dynamic (Pei Ming, Feng Xin, Mu Qing), flat (Tian Sheng, Xiao-Pengtou, Xiao-Ying), round (A-Zhao, Banyue), and stock (Wind Master, Jun Wu). This study has limitations as it focuses solely on character types in Book 1, though the novel spans eight books, leaving many characters and literary elements unexplored. Future studies should fill these gaps with comparative analyses, exploring cultural influences, applying diverse literary theories, and using multidisciplinary approaches.
