Abstract

Literature, in a broad definition, can be defined as a term that denotes works such as drama, poetry, novel, and short story. From an educational point of view, literature can be utilized as a medium for teaching English as a foreign language. This study attempts to suggest the activities that can be used to maximize the prominent role of literature in teaching English skills and describe the relationship between literature and the English teaching and learning process. This study employs the qualitative approach with a library research technique. The data are collected from books and articles in various academic journals. The findings show that the relationship between literature and English teaching and learning is symbiotic and inseparable. Literature does have a really important role in teaching English as a foreign language: literature can be used in developing students’ language skills: listening, speaking, reading, and writing. However, the use of literature in English classes can be fully optimized when accurate methods or techniques are used. This study suggests that the use of literature to enhance students’ language skills has to be done in integration.

Abstract

This article explores the theme of women’s silent resistance against patriarchal oppression as depicted in Yiyun Li’s A Flawless Silence and Ni Komang Ariani’s Sepasang Mata Dinaya yang Terpenjara. Through a comparative literary analysis, the study examines how silence becomes a strategic form of resistance employed by the female protagonists Min and Dinaya who navigate the constraints of patriarchal expectations within their respective cultural settings. Rather than interpreting silence as submission, this article highlights how both characters use silence to assert agency, preserve identity, and subtly challenge the power structures that confine them. Central to this analysis are the interwoven themes of domestic constraint, cultural expectation, and psychological endurance, which shape the characters’ experiences and strategies of resistance. The study contributes to discussions on women’s narratives of struggle and resilience, offering insights into how literature portrays quiet defiance as a meaningful response to gender-based oppression.

Abstract

Acquiring vocabulary is a crucial component of English language acquisition for kids. Students require innovative instructional approaches to derive pleasure from the continuous learning process. The teacher should be able to communicate the subject matter and suitably utilize media effectively. This study aimed to ascertain whether the utilization of Music media may yield a noteworthy disparity in enhancing students' English vocabulary and to discover whether the efficacy of music media surpasses that of conventional media. The sample size for this study consisted of 60 students. The system has two classrooms, with each class including a total of 30 students. The pre-test results yielded a t-value of t0 = 1.517, indicating that both classes are worth studying as there is no significant difference in the increase of students' English vocabulary based on the t-test. However, after treatment and the post-test, the t-value obtained was t0 = 3.201, higher than the critical t-value (tt = 2.001) at a significance level of α = 0.05 and degrees of freedom (df) = 58. This indicates a significant difference in students' English vocabulary increase between the experimental class (taught using Music media) and the control class (introduced using conventional press) after the pre-test was administered.

Abstract

This study employs an analytic review approach to examine the thematic construction in John Steinbeck’s Of Mice and Men, focusing on its portrayal of companionship, loneliness, and the fragility of dreams. These themes are explored as narrative mechanisms that reflect the social and psychological realities of marginalized individuals during the Great Depression. The analysis investigates how Steinbeck's depiction of human relationships and aspirations serves as a lens for understanding broader issues of alienation, economic disenfranchisement, and emotional resilience. Utilizing recent theoretical frameworks from literary and cultural studies, the study systematically interprets character interactions, plot developments, and symbolic elements to uncover the deeper meanings embedded in the text. Through qualitative thematic analysis, the novella is shown to articulate a complex emotional landscape in which hope and despair coexist. The bond between George and Lennie emerges as a counterpoint to the dominant atmosphere of isolation, while the recurring motif of unattainable dreams underscores the characters’ internal and external struggles. Findings suggest that Steinbeck’s work maintains enduring relevance by offering insight into universal human experiences such as connection, sacrifice, and the pursuit of meaning under systemic pressures. The study concludes that Of Mice and Men is not only a historical narrative but also a profound commentary on the human condition, demonstrating literature’s capacity to foster empathy and critical reflection across generations.

Abstract

Language functions not only as a tool of communication but also as a means of constructing identity and reflecting cultural values, including gender roles. This study explores how the character Soe Dal Mi in the Korean drama Start-Up (2020) represents gender equality through language. The research questions examine how Soe Dal Mi’s language challenges patriarchal structures and what gender ideologies her discourse reveals. The objective is to analyze linguistic strategies that reflect resistance to traditional gender expectations in workplace contexts. Using Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) by Fairclough (1992), this research analyzes Soe Dal Mi’s dialogues across three dimensions: text (lexical choices, grammar, language style), discourse practices (interactions and situational contexts), and social practices (gender ideologies and cultural norms). Data comprise dialogue excerpts from 16 episodes, collected through textual observation and script documentation. Findings reveal that Soe Dal Mi employs assertive language, direct communication, and professional terminology that challenge gender stereotypes, particularly in entrepreneurial settings. However, her discourse also demonstrates negotiation with traditional expectations through strategic code-switching. This study underscores media’s role in reshaping gender perceptions and contributes to discussions on gender representation in popular culture, with implications for understanding how Korean dramas influence Indonesian audiences’ views on women’s empowerment and workplace equality.

Abstract

This study highlights the effectiveness of authentic assessment in evaluating higher-order cognitive competencies, including problem-solving, reasoning, analytical thinking, creativity, and the development of metacognitive awareness. Through authentic assessment, students can apply their knowledge and skills in real-world contexts by constructing responses based on critical analysis, identifying cause-and-effect relationships with supporting evidence, and solving problems through logical reasoning. The research employed a descriptive qualitative analysis method, utilizing tests, surveys, and document analysis as instruments. The study involved 40 fifth-semester students from the English Education Department enrolled in an Advanced Writing course. Authentic assessment was implemented in the context of expository writing, specifically problem-solution essays, with a focus on (1) formulating relevant and critical issues and arguments, (2) establishing clear and logical connections between ideas, and (3) presenting multiple solutions supported by sound reasoning. The findings indicate that students' average performance in writing expository texts reached a score of 78, classified as high or good. Given its advantages, authentic assessment is strongly recommended in teaching and learning. It offers several benefits, including (a) promoting students creative and critical thinking abilities, (b) enabling them to construct meaningful learning experiences by selecting and organizing relevant responses through situational analysis, and (c) integrating instructional, learning, and assessment activities. Furthermore, for students, authentic assessment significantly enhances academic writing proficiency and productivity, equipping them with essential skills for handling more complex tasks in real-world contexts.

Abstract

This study utilized Kemmis et al.s (2014) action research paradigm. It implemented a two-cycle action study within a single semester, encompassing four stages of learning tasks: comprehension of the problem, monitoring of students learning activities, problem-solving, assessment, and concluding. Every cycle offered learning activities that focused on metacognitive and critical thinking to refine students ability to write persuasive arguments. During the previous cycle, the students showed strong skills in stating their goals and identifying their planned actions. They used different approaches to pinpoint a key topic for their writing and monitor their progress by effectively managing their available time. The investigation found that integrating metacognitive and crucial thinking processes into instructional methods improved students argumentative writing skills, starting with critical skill requirements. Integrating metacognition into writing training is vital for enhancing writing skills at the college level. This study made a special effort to guarantee that each stage was attentively examined and received constructive recommendations for enhancement before going to further steps. However, it is important to acknowledge limitations. The study did not assess the long-term retention of enhanced writing skills, and the sample size may limit generalization. Additionally, while metacognition and critical thinking were beneficial, other factors influencing writing skills were not extensively explored. Future research could address these aspects for a more comprehensive understanding of sustained skill development.

Abstract

Kawasan Likupang, termasuk Desa Paputungan di Kecamatan Likupang Barat, Kabupaten Minahasa Utara, ditetapkan sebagai salah satu Destinasi Super Prioritas pariwisata nasional sehingga penguasaan bahasa asing, termasuk bahasa Jepang, menjadi kebutuhan penting bagi guru dan masyarakat setempat. Namun, akses terhadap pelatihan bahasa Jepang masih terbatas dan pemanfaatan kecerdasan artifisial (AI) generatif sebagai media belajar belum banyak dikenal. Kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini bertujuan meningkatkan kemampuan dasar bahasa Jepang guru SD Inpres Paputungan dan masyarakat melalui pemanfaatan AI generatif (ChatGPT, Google Gemini, dan Microsoft Copilot) sebagai media belajar mandiri dan penyusunan materi ajar. Kegiatan dilaksanakan pada 19 Juni 2026 dengan melibatkan 17 peserta, terdiri atas 5 guru dan 12 warga masyarakat, menggunakan metode pelatihan partisipatif berupa sosialisasi, praktik, pendampingan, serta evaluasi pre-test–post-test pada enam aspek. Data dianalisis secara deskriptif kuantitatif menggunakan rata-rata skor pre-test, post-test, dan persentase peningkatan (gain), sedangkan kepuasan peserta diukur melalui angket dengan kategori sangat puas, puas, cukup puas, dan kurang puas. Hasil menunjukkan peningkatan rata-rata skor pada seluruh aspek, yaitu kosakata dasar (36,5–74,5), membaca hiragana (29,5–66,5), percakapan sederhana (34,0–71,5), tata bahasa dasar (26,0–63,0), literasi AI (41,0–85,0), dan kepercayaan diri berkomunikasi (37,5–79,0). Sebanyak 58,8% peserta menyatakan sangat puas, 35,3% puas, dan 5,9% cukup puas. Temuan ini menunjukkan bahwa AI generatif efektif sebagai media alternatif pembelajaran bahasa Jepang sekaligus mendukung kesiapan sumber daya manusia lokal dalam menyongsong perkembangan pariwisata di kawasan Likupang.

Abstract

This study examines the impact of alcoholism on the characters in Stephen Crane’s Maggie: A Little Girl of the Streets, set in the slums of 19th-century New York City. The novel portrays the struggles of its characters against poverty, violence, and alcoholism, highlighting the harsh realities of urban life. Utilizing a qualitative descriptive method and an objective approach, this analysis focuses on the intrinsic elements of the novel, exploring how alcoholism influences the behaviour, relationships, and fates of characters such as Maggie, Jimmie, Mrs. Johnson, and Pete. Through detailed character analysis and examination of direct quotes from the text, the study reveals the profound effects of alcoholism on the characters' lives. Maggie, once depicted as innocent and hopeful, falls victim to exploitation and despair due to her family's alcoholism and societal pressures. Jimmie, shaped by a violent environment, transforms into a harsh and callous individual. Mrs. Johnson’s alcohol dependency leads to instability and violence within the family, while Pete, initially perceived as a potential saviour for Maggie, reveals himself as exploitative and opportunistic, contributing to her downfall. The study concludes that alcoholism acts as a catalyst for the characters' tragic fates, emphasizing the devastating consequences of their struggles against the backdrop of societal challenges. This analysis contributes to a deeper understanding of how societal and familial influences, particularly alcoholism, shape character development and lead to inevitable tragedy in Crane’s novel.
