Abstract

This study aims to explore students' perceptions of the use of interactive digital media and its influence on learning motivation. Interactive digital media is expected to increase students' engagement in learning and motivate them to be more active in the learning process. This research uses a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection techniques through semi-structured interviews and observation. The sample used was 5-10 students selected as key informants in one junior high school. The data were analyzed using thematic analysis techniques which included data reduction, categorization, and meaning of emerging themes. The results show that students have a positive view of the use of interactive digital media in learning, which they feel can increase their motivation to learn. Based on these findings, it is recommended to utilize interactive digital media as an effective tool in the learning process to increase students' motivation and engagement. The implication of this study shows that the integration of interactive digital media in the learning curriculum can be an innovative strategy to create a more engaging learning environment, encourage student-centered learning, as well as support the development of 21st century skills such as critical thinking, collaboration, and digital literacy.

Abstract

The increasing manipulation of language in political discourse has renewed academic interest in how power and ideology are embedded in everyday texts—a concern particularly urgent in today's post-truth era. In response, this study investigates how the theoretical foundations of Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) are principally informed by the seminal frameworks advanced by scholars such as Norman Fairclough and Teun A. van Dijk can serve as valuable foundations for enhancing critical reading abilities in higher education. CDA theorizes language functions not as a neutral conduit but as a socially embedded practice that simultaneously mirrors and perpetuates existing power relations. Through a classroom-based analysis of George Orwell’s Animal Farm, this study operationalizes CDA as both an analytical and pedagogical framework. Students used AntConc, a corpus analysis tool, to examine rhetorical patterns, slogans, and ideological shifts in the text. The application of CDA enabled learners to uncover how language constructs dominance, distorts ideology, and silences dissent. Key features of CDA—such as intertextuality, hegemony, and discursive strategies—were translated into student-friendly tools for critical textual engagement. The findings suggest that integrating CDA with literary analysis not only enhances students’ interpretive depth but also cultivates their political literacy.
