In the game there is a message feature provided by the application itself with the aim of communication between players both inside and outside the game. However, the message feature is abused by many players by throwing harsh words at other players.

This research uses a mixed research method, which uses a quantitative approach and a qualitative approach. Starting with a quantitative approach where researchers give questionnaire questions to respondents.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the impact of bipolar phases, namely manic and depressive phases, on the use of the words ‘life’ and ‘death’ in bipolar survivors’ communication. The research method used was qualitative with Likert scales to measure attitudes and perceptions towards stigma in the various bipolar phases. The results showed that bipolar phases influence survivors’ language use, where manic phases tend to produce positive connotations towards the word ‘life’ and depressive phases tend to produce negative connotations towards the word ‘life’. In addition, the social environment also influences how bipolar survivors perceive the use of these words. These findings support previous research on the impact of mood disorders on communication processes and provide additional insights into how bipolar phases influence word usage in the language of bipolar survivors.

Abstract

This study investigates the role of parental and community support in promoting English language learning (ELL) in rural schools. The study adopts a qualitative approach with two complementary methods: a phenomenological study and a case study. The phenomenological study involves semi-structured interviews with 20 rural students from different grade levels and 10 parents from different socioeconomic backgrounds to understand their lived experiences of ELL and the challenges and benefits they encounter. The case study involves a detailed analysis of one rural school that has implemented a successful ELL program with strong parental and community involvement. The case study uses multiple sources of data, such as observations, documents, and focus group discussions with teachers and community members, to examine the processes and outcomes of the ELL program. The study reveals that parental and community support can have positive effects on students’ ELL outcomes and opportunities, such as motivation, achievement, confidence, exposure, and access. However, the study also identifies some challenges and barriers that limit the potential of parental and community support, such as lack of resources, knowledge, skills, time, and trust. The study also highlights the diversity and variability of parental and community support across different contexts, such as grade levels, socioeconomic backgrounds, ethnic groups, and regions. The study also suggests some implications and recommendations for policy makers, educators, and stakeholders who are interested in enhancing ELL provision and quality in rural schools.
