Abstract

Turtles are reptiles that have uniqueness and beauty, which radiates from the character of the shell, the beauty of color and shape, and the history of the turtle's life. The snapping alligator is an extraordinary beauty because it has the characteristics of a shell that is like a tapered and jagged hill. The problem discussed in this paper is how the character of the snapping alligator turtle shell is, as well as how to formulate and visualize this character in contemporary works of art. The final result of the process of creating this work, the author presents in the form of an alligator snapping turtle shell which has been changed based on the results of the exploration of the author's imagination. With this new form created, the author feels that he has found more freedom in creativity which is not only limited by conventional rules and rules that exist in realist form.

Abstract

English has become a central medium for global communication, especially in digitally connected environments where interaction occurs across linguistic and cultural boundaries. Recent studies highlight a shift from viewing English as a fixed system to understanding it as a flexible, experience-driven resource shaped by everyday use. However, limited attention has been given to how students themselves interpret and experience English in real digital contexts, particularly in relation to communication practices, identity, and confidence. This study aims to explore students’ perceptions of English as a global language in the age of digital communication, focusing on how they use, understand, and value the language in their daily lives. The study employed a qualitative research design involving 27 students. Data were collected through open-ended surveys that captured students’ experiences, attitudes, and reflections on using English in digital environments. The data were analyzed using thematic analysis, allowing patterns and meanings to emerge from participants’ responses through systematic coding and interpretation. The findings reveal that students perceive English as a practical and meaningful tool for communication and access to information, especially in online spaces. They tend to prioritize meaning over accuracy, using English in relaxed and informal ways while gradually developing flexibility and confidence through repeated exposure. At the same time, traces of formal learning remain, particularly in their concern for correctness. English also serves a personal function, enabling self-expression and fostering a sense of connection to a global community, although some students still experience anxiety and occasional misunderstandings. These findings suggest that English learning is increasingly shaped by digital interaction and personal experience. The study highlights the need for pedagogical approaches that balance accuracy with communicative flexibility, while also recognizing students’ lived experiences and emotional engagement in using English.
