Abstract

This research aimed to find out the operant conditioning that occurs to the main character in the novel Breath of Scandal and the impacts of operant conditioning on the character using literary psychological approach. This research approach combines interactive data analysis with descriptive qualitative methodologies, which is the process of processing data by collecting, selecting, and connecting it in a systematic way in order to reach conclusions. The source is from “Breath of Scandal” novel that is written by Sandra Brown. The novel's operant conditioning, which is assisted by behaviorism theory, develops through Jade's major characters' humiliation, harassment, and betrayal by her best friend, childhood friend, lover, and parents as well as through her encouragement, acceptance, and revenge. The result of this study showed twenty-eight extracts of operant conditioning that have been associated with behaviorism theory written in the novel. Fourteen out of twenty-eight were stimulus to Jade as the main character, and fourteen were responses from Jade. The result of the research showed that operant conditioning did happen to Jade as the main character, but it could not be determined like in the live experiments, and the impact of the operant conditioning on Jade is making it hard for her to forgive and to believe in someone throughout the novel's plot.

Abstract

This research discusses the use of women's language varieties by Brittany Higgins in ABC News YouTube channel. The researchers selected Brittany Higgins as object of the research because women's language can be observed to reflect women's lives in various social situations. The aim of this research is to identify the types and functions of women's language used by Brittany Higgins to emphasize and strengthen her speech. This research employs the theory types of women's language proposed by Lakoff (1975) and explains the functions of each type of women's language used by Brittany Higgins based on the language function theory by Jakobson (1896-1982). The research method used is descriptive qualitative to identify and explore the varieties of women's language used by Brittany Higgins in the ABC News YouTube channel. The research data is taken from the speech transcripts and conversations of Brittany Higgins during the National Press Club 2022 in ABC News YouTube channel. The research result showed that there are seven types of women's language used by Brittany Higgins out of the ten proposed by Lakoff (1975). These varieties include the use of lexical hedges/fillers (25.73%), rising intonation (10.58%), empty adjectives (4.56%), intensifiers (25.00%), Hypercorrect grammar (12.04%), avoidance of strong swear words (0.55%), and emphatic stress (21.53%). Additionally, the researchers found all the functions of women's language within the variations used by Brittany Higgins, with the emotive function being the most dominant with an exclusive style.

Abstract

Grammar instruction in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) context is frequently perceived as anxiety-inducing and monotonous, particularly when learning is dominated by rule memorization and form-focused explanations. This issue is especially critical for pre-service English teachers, as their experiences as learners may influence their future teaching practices. Although gamification has been widely adopted to enhance engagement in grammar learning, many existing practices rely on surface-level mechanics such as points and quizzes, offering limited support for deep cognitive processing. To address this gap, this study conducted a needs analysis to examine pre-service English teachers’ perspectives on grammar instruction and their readiness for meaningful gamified learning. Employing a descriptive quantitative survey design, data were collected from 49 undergraduate students from English Education and English Literature programs who had completed grammar courses. The questionnaire explored grammar anxiety, digital readiness, flow potential, and gamification design preferences, and the data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. The findings reveal a moderate level of grammar anxiety and a notable gap between grammatical knowledge and its application in communication. At the same time, participants demonstrated high digital readiness and strong potential for immersive engagement. Importantly, they expressed a clear preference for deep, narrative-based gamification rather than quiz-oriented activities. These findings suggest that pre-service English teachers are cognitively and psychologically prepared for a deep-learning-oriented gamified grammar model, providing a foundation for future model development in teacher education contexts.Keywords: grammar anxiety, gamification, pre-service English teachers, needs analysis, grammar instruction
