Abstract

The digital age has brought about significant transformation in many aspects of life, including education. On top of that, Siemens and Downes (2020) argued that the current digital era is defined by a concept called connectivism. It suggested that learning is fundamentally a social and networked process. Thus, the theory provided a powerful perspective on how digital platforms such as YouTube have changed the learning space. In this study, the authors aimed to find out the proper answer about the effectiveness of YouTube as the media that is widely used by teachers in improving students’ English speaking skills. This study employed a qualitative systematic review. The authors set the criteria for selecting previous studies using Xiao and Watson’s (2019) framework. The criteria were as follows: (1) published in journals and available in Google Scholar, (2) within the last five years from 2019 – 2023, (3) specifically related to the effectiveness of using YouTube as learning media in EFL classrooms to enhance students’ speaking skills, and (4) original research article and using a quantitative approach. As a whole, this study supported the notion that integrating YouTube into the language classroom can lead to significant improvements in students’ speaking skills, ultimately contributing to their overall language proficiency and motivation.

Abstract

This article aims to place poems by Kazi Nazrul Islam of Bangla literature in a comparative study with those by the Caribbean poet Derek Walcott. Nazrul wrote when his country India was under British colonial rule and Walcott wrote when his Caribbean region was under British colonialism and in postcolonial period. The study becomes inevitable against a backdrop where comparative studies of Nazrul have been conducted with American and European authors who lack similar colonial backgrounds. Additionally, when Nazrul is compared with non-American and non-European authors, his Islamic identity, which transforms into his all-embracing humanity, is often omitted or sidelined. Thus, when poems by Nazrul and those by Walcott are in a comparative study, the two poets from two different marginalized nations exhibit conspicuous affinities in their poetic resistances. This is how this paper looks forward to doing a comparative study of the poems by Nazrul and those by Walcott by adopting the methods of Traditional Literary Criticism and a new comparative study as shaped by Zepetnek. The results which the study yields are that the poets maneuver identical poetic resistances by addressing the nation’s unity, revival of history, composition of unique literature, concern for the working-class people, and anti-colonial struggle. The results of the research may contribute to raising cultural awareness among marginalized nations about resisting aggression.

Abstract

This systematic review examines the extant literature on the efficacy of the Duolingo application for vocabulary development in instructed second language (L2) contexts. Drawing on several empirical studies, the review synthesises findings related to (a) the comparative effectiveness of Duolingo versus traditional pedagogies, (b) the impact of Duolingo on learner motivation and engagement, and (c) practical implications for classroom integration. While the majority of evidence attests to measurable gains in receptive vocabulary knowledge, the findings must be interpreted with caution due to methodological limitations, including small sample sizes, short intervention periods, and construct underrepresentation. The motivational appeal of Duolingo's gamified interface emerges as a prominent theme, corroborated by self-report data. However, the limited research employing psychometrically robust motivational measures precludes definitive conclusions about the temporal stability and transferability of this motivational effect. Theoretically, the provision of individualised feedback aligns with interactionist theories, yet the restricted opportunities for the negotiation of meaning raise doubts about the depth of lexical engagement. Pedagogically, the reviewed studies advocate the careful integration of Duolingo as a supplementary tool within formal instructional contexts. However, optimal implementation strategies remain unspecified, necessitating further classroom-based research employing mixed-methods designs. Significant gaps are identified, including the lack of investigations into the differential impacts of Duolingo's features, vocabulary transfer to authentic communication, and the development of self-regulated learning strategies.

Abstract

Writing a literature review part might be a challenging task for university students as they have to sit for some time to find recent literature that is closely relevant to their research topics. In that case, the authors spot the potential of utilizing SciSpace, Artificial Intelligence technology, to support the students in their literature review activities. In this study, the authors aim to review the potential benefits and challenges of using SciSpace to find recent literature relevant to students’ research topics, framed under the task engagement principles. To achieve that study goal, the authors used a recent technology review approach to do the review and conducted rigorous peer debriefing activities to ensure that the review results are credible and trustworthy. The review results showed the benefits of using SciSpace, which included fostering task authenticity, maintaining students’ interest, facilitating social interaction, supporting autonomy, and providing effective scaffolding. Meanwhile, the challenges of using SciSpace involved content accuracy and relevance, updating tailored content, handling complex queries and visuals, and offering context-specific feedback. Recommendations for maximizing the application's potential include improving content filtering, expanding interactive features, and providing specialized feedback. Future research agendas also are presented.

Abstract

This article explores the representation of skepticism in the film "Don't Look Up," highlighting its commentary on contemporary environmental issues. Through a satirical lens, the film portrays the tension between scientific evidence and societal indifference, revealing the complexities of public perception regarding climate change and ecological crises. The purpose of this study is to analyze the signs that represent skepticism in the film. This type of research is descriptive qualitative research using the semiotic theory of Pierce (1906) which consists of representation (sign), object, and interpretation. The researchers found types of representation in the form of 3 types of quali-sign, 15 sin-sign, and 2 legi-sign. The objects in the form 4 types of icons, 13 types of indexes, and a symbol. The interpretation in the form 17 of argument type. The signs that represent skepticism can be found in scenes in the form of dialogue, attributes, movements, and expressions. The film also represented that skepticism has a negative side towards the environment. In addition, this film represents that skepticism can be carried out in all aspects of social circles such as government, media, and society. The film serves as a critical reflection of current attitudes toward environmental challenges, emphasizing the dangers of misinformation and the necessity for collective action. Ultimately, this exploration underscores the film's relevance in stimulating discourse on the urgent need for recognition and response to the climate crisis, encouraging audiences to reconsider their roles in fostering awareness and advocacy in the face of skepticism.

Abstract

Using Ngũgĩ wa Thiong’o’s decolonization theory, this article argues that Okot p’Bitek’s Song of Lawino reclaims African cultural voice and identity. Even though it is available in English, Song of Lawino is a kind of narrative poetry borrowed from the traditional Acholi song. This study uses contextual and stylistic analysis to show how p’Bitek’s poetry acts as a force for decolonization, advocates for cultural preservation, and addresses collective issues. Findings show that by satirizing African middle-class elites who adhere to Western values, the two chapters from Song of Lawino studied “The Woman with Whom I Share My Husband” and “Let Them Prepare the Malakwang Dish” highlight the clash between European and African cultures. In these poems, Lawino challenges gender dynamics and defends traditional practices, as well as criticizes the shallowness of Westernized lifestyles adopted by her husband Ocol. Through this strong-willed woman’s criticism, Okot p’Bitek’s poetry reveals the negative impacts of credulous cultural assimilation and underlines the import
