Abstract

To illustrate the concept of ghosts, this research aimed to explain how they were described in Ã`ma Lóngh and Lebu’ Kulit language, the collection of Dayak Kenyah short stories. This research employed a descriptive qualitative method based on figurative language personification theory. Data analysis is conducted using corpus analysis with the AntConc application. This research concluded that there are four categories that employ personification in relation to the term 'ghost' namely the ghosts act like human, the ghosts being described as dying like humans, ghosts can transform into other forms and ghosts being described as animals. The use of personification in these stories allows readers to relate to and believe in the ghost, enhancing the drama and suspense of the story. The ghosts in this research were only described using personification. Further research might investigate ghosts through different theories to see how their appearance can contribute to certain meanings in the stories.

This study aimed to investigate how teachers’ perception toward English varieties in ELT. This study carried out using qualitative design with interview as the instrument. This research involved three teachers of Senior High School in Kutai Kartanegara with different schools, backgrounds, and experiences. There were three aspects discussed; teachers’ perception towards native speaker model, teachers’ perception on variations of English, and teachers’ perception on ELF and cultural understanding. The results showed English teachers still oriented to native speaker’s model since the goal of learning English refers to English proficiency in standard English. However, the teachers were also aware with the English variations which was used globally. This research contributed the consideration of incorporating the idea of native speakerism and ELF into English language teaching.
