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

Grammar plays a fundamental role in language learning, yet many students encounter challenges that hinder their mastery. These challenges can be categorized into cognitive, emotional, and instructional barriers, which impact learners' ability to engage with grammar effectively. This study investigates the dominant elements within these barriers and explores Indonesian university students' perceptions of grammar learning. Employing a quantitative descriptive design, this study used a five-point Likert-scale questionnaire of 28 items divided into four sections. The participants were 300 randomly selected university students majoring in English Education in Indonesia. The data were analyzed statistically using descriptive statistics, particularly mean scores, to determine trends and dominant elements. The findings revealed that in the cognitive barrier, the most dominant difficulties were applying grammar rules under pressure and needing more time to understand concepts. In the emotional barrier, the highest scores were related to anxiety when speaking and the belief that emotions affected learning. Regarding instructional barriers, students felt they needed more real-life practice and interactive, contextual lessons. Furthermore, the perception data indicated a generally positive attitude toward grammar learning, highlighting its importance and relevance. The study implies that teachers should address all dimensions to enhance grammar instruction and student success, aligning with the language and pedagogical innovation thrust and contributing to Sustainable Development Goal 4 (Quality Education).

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 of AI integration into language learning is a literature review research design that focuses on understanding the different aspects of AI integration into language learning. It investigates AI’s potential to enhance language learning, emphasizing advantages and disadvantages. Methodologically, this study utilized a scoping review to collect and analyze secondary data from sixteen qualified articles retrieved from Google Scholar and Scopus databases. AI applications are becoming more common in educational settings, especially in language acquisition, due to the quick advancement of technology. The study highlights the effects of AI on learner engagement, tailored education, and flexible learning solutions by synthesizing findings from studies carried out between 2020 and 2024. The efficiency of chatbots and intelligent tutoring systems, the ethical implications of academic honesty, and the improved social presence of students through AI tools are some of the major themes. AI’s potential benefits, issues, including data privacy, technology accessibility, and teacher preparation requirement,s were also discussed. Aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 4 (Quality Education) and SDG 10 (Reduced Inequalities), the findings highlight the need for continued study and the creation of AI solutions suited to various learner requirements. This study provides insights that guide future pedagogical approaches and technology advancements, making it a valuable tool for researchers and educators attempting to comprehend the intricate dynamics of AI integration in language learning.
