Abstract

This study focuses on analyzing the eight selected poems in language discipline, particularly in the context of women’s objectification. The objective of this study is communication patterns of women's objectification from Sara Mills' Feminist Stylistics. This exploration applied a content analysis approach and Fredrickson and Roberts’ objectification theory. The major findings reveal that women are expected to be obedient and do household chores, are being reduced by their body parts for men’s sexual desires, and are used to objectify them. Further, women are treated based on their clothes, as what they wear highlights their sexuality and beauty, amplifying the notion of women being reduced to sexual objects rather than treating them as a person with identities. More distressing is the revelation of women being labeled with different names if they do not conform to society's expectations, which emphasized women as being passive and unwilling to receive the actions from men. Finally, this study is highly significant for language learners as it could help them to be more adept in analyzing literary texts while enhancing their critical thinking skills on language and gender representation, aligning with Sustainable Development Goal No. 5 on Gender Equality, mainstreaming eradication of any forms of discrimination

Abstract

This study aimed to explore the effectiveness of phonetic symbols in enhancing the pronunciation skills of second-semester students in the English Department at the University of Muhammadiyah Sidenreng Rappang. The research utilized a quasi-experimental design involving two groups: an experimental group that was taught using phonetic symbols and a control group that followed conventional pronunciation methods. Both groups underwent pre-tests and post-tests to evaluate their pronunciation abilities. Results were analyzed using t-tests with the aid of SPSS software. The findings revealed a significant improvement in the pronunciation skills of the experimental group, with the post-test scores showing a substantial increase compared to the control group. Additionally, the students expressed a strong interest in using phonetic symbols for pronunciation practice, as indicated by their responses to a questionnaire. This study concludes that teaching pronunciation through phonetic symbols effectively enhances students' pronunciation abilities and is well-received by learners.

Abstract

The syntax–semantics interface has become a central focus in linguistics, as it explains how structural configurations shape meaning and how interpretation constrains syntactic possibilities. This review aims to synthesize theoretical, empirical, computational, and cross-linguistic perspectives to provide a comprehensive account of the interface. Findings indicate that generative and minimalist theories emphasize structural roles, while constructionist and distributional models highlight usage and context. Empirical studies reveal challenges for bilingual and heritage speakers, and computational approaches demonstrate the value of hybrid models bridging theory and data. The review contributes to advancing linguistic theory and practice by underscoring the need for integrative models that combine formal rigor, empirical validation, and cross-linguistic inclusivity.

Abstract

This study explores how Technology Project-Based Learning (TPBL) can be integrated into the English for Tourism curriculum at UIN Saizu Purwokerto to create media-based products promoting sustainable ecotourism in Banyumas, Central Java. Banyumas has a lot of natural and cultural resources that could be used for ecotourism, but the local marketing strategies do not always use new and educational media. The study used a Research and Development (R&D) approach with both qualitative and quantitative methods. The participants of this study are English for Tourism students and tourism stakeholders. The data are collected through observation, interviews, and focus group discussions. By implementing TPBL, students produce digital media: videos, social media campaigns, and websites for introducing local tourism objects in Banyumas. The results show that using TPBL enchances students' creativity, critical thinking, teamwork, and environmental awareness, and it also produces authentic practice that promote sustainable tourism. The study finds that TPBL not only helps students learn a new language, but it also changes the way teachers teach by integrating education, technology, and local sustainability.
