Abstract

This groundbreaking research endeavors to elevate participants' learning competence through the innovative integration of digital technology as a pedagogical medium. Pioneering a novel approach, this study seeks to gauge the efficacy of digital-based technology in enhancing English writing proficiency and participants' perceptions of its utility on the Storyboard That platform. Adopting a quantitative methodology, data is meticulously collected from experimental and control groups comprising nursing participants. Leveraging a synergistic blend of digital technology and project-based learning (PjBL), the research yields noteworthy gains in both knowledge and attitudes, with N-gain scores of 0.53 and 0.52, respectively. While initial trial results place competence and integration in the medium category, there exists a compelling imperative for further refinement and enhancement. The findings underscore the transformative potential of digital technology in augmenting writing skills and platform utilization, laying the groundwork for future innovations in English language education. By advocating for the seamless integration of digital tools like Storyboard That into the curriculum, this research not only fosters creativity and proficiency in English writing but also cultivates a dynamic learning environment conducive to holistic skill development. Ultimately, this study serves as a clarion call for educators to embrace the transformative power of digital technology in fostering English language proficiency and nurturing a generation of digitally literate and proficient learners poised to thrive in an increasingly interconnected world.

Abstract

Nathaniel Hawthorne's "The Birthmark" is a rich embroidery of human psychology entwined to Puritan society. The following analysis examines human imperfection and the attempt to pursue perfection by employing the ego defence mechanism. In Hawthorne's "The Birthmark", Aylmer endures the anxiety and fear of intimacy that he leads to deny and projects Georgiana’s birthmark removal through scientific surgery. His fixation on her birthmark is also a way to unleash his scientific insecurity. Georgiana not only internalizes Aylmer’s ideals but also rationalizes the removal of the birthmark. This study exhibits Aylmer’s and Georgiana’s denial, repression, projection, idealization, and rationalization through the specific analysis.

Abstract

This article examines Miles Franklin’s novel My Brilliant Career (1901) through a feminist and postcolonial lens, focusing on Sybylla Melvyn’s rejection of marriage and her efforts to achieve artistic autonomy amid the limitations of British settler colonialism. The novel subverts the Victorian ideals of womanhood- domestic, passive, and submissive—by featuring Sybilla, who defies patriarchal and colonial expectations. Drawing on the theories of Woolf and Spivak, this analysis highlights how Sybylla’s refusal to surrender her intellectual and economic independence to the institution of marriage reveals that feminist ambitions are inextricably intertwined with the formation of national identity in the Australian colonial context. Her struggle to define herself beyond the role of wife or daughter criticizes the doctrine of coverture and exposes gendered exclusions in the Australian literary canon. The study argues that My Brilliant Career articulates a proto-feminist spirit that not only defies colonial legacies but also demands a rereading of Australian national identity through the lens of women’s autonomy and resistance. Keywords: Australian colonial context, feminist, My Brilliant Career, rejection of marriage.
