Thus, the concept of Eco-ELT derived from the terms of Ecociticism and English Language Teaching (ELT) was coined and introduced. Eco-ELT worked on a basis postulate that literary works could be an avenue to teach English and ecology at the same time. The selections and applications of the literary works therefore mattered.

The purpose of this research is to analyze the heroic adventure of Wade Watts in Cline's novel.

There were several studies related to the hero's journey; most of many researchers use monomyth theory by Christopher Vogler. Meanwhile, in this article, the researcher uses Joseph Campbell's monomyth concept, which has seventeen monomythic stages with more detailed and elaborate on the explanation compared to Vogler. Therefore the step of the heroic journey can be well delivered to the reader. Working on this research, the researcher uses a descriptive approach to the qualitative method. Based on the final result of the research, the researcher concludes that the main character indeed depicted as a hero, and the monomyth concept is also applied in "Ready Player One" novel.

Abstract

: The problem with this research is the lack of skills and thinking skills of humane education in the twenty-first century, especially of critical thinking and problem-solving. It is caused by several factors, one of the main factors is, learning that has not been oriented to the development of the twenty-first-century thinking skills and still only focuses on achieving partial-textual knowledge and not on the integrative-contextual understanding of the knowledge learned. In line with this, it takes an effort to improve the critical thinking skills of Indonesian education. The effort should be initiated by engineering the appropriate education model and on target, one of which is multiliteracies pedagogy. This research was conducted using the literature study discussing multiliteracies pedagogy to enhancing critical thinking skills in the twenty-first century. Literature review refers to a written synthesis of journal articles, books, and other documents that summarizes and critiques the past and current state of information about a topic, organizes the literature into sub-topics, and documents the background for a study. It can be concluded that the implementation of the multiliteracies pedagogy models is one of the alternative learning models that can improve critical thinking and problem-solving students in the university effectively in the areas of study taught compared to the most direct models used in English Language Teaching (ELT). Therefore, it is advisable to implement multiliteracies pedagogy in the practice of learning activities. Also, the application of multiliteracies pedagogy should be supported by the cooperation of all elements, both between teachers, management, and parents. This needs to be done to realize the effectiveness of quality learning, thus giving implications on the growth of potential students.

First, what women's language features are used by the character Mulan in Mulan (2020) movie? Second, does Mulan still use the women’s language features while she masquerades as a man? This study was qualitative research and used a document analysis to analyze the data. Two observation checklist tables and a frequency comparison table were used to help the researchers to categorize the data for interpretation.  The results that showed the percentage of the women’s language features from Mulan’s utterances when she played a role as a woman was 83.33% and then decreased to 58.82% when she played a role as a man. The results also showed that the gender roles in society take part in forming someone’s speech.

Abstract

This study aims to report on the argument elements and logical fallacies performed by English education students. This study is framed within a descriptive qualitative study in that it interprets the ways students of English education deliver their arguments. The data were collected through observation, recording and in-depth interviews on the objects studied. The findings of this study showed that the students’ ability to present logical arguments varies with the dominant label in the “non-standard argument” category. In regard to the logical fallacy, hasty generalization becomes the most general logical fallacy found in students’ arguments, followed by the appeal to pity, the appeal to fear, the questionable statistics, the slippery slope, the appeal to the bandwagon, the circular reasoning, the pointing to another wrong, and the personal attack. Based on the interview, lack of understanding of arguments and logical fallacies, limited vocabularies, as well as nervousness are identified as the possible causes of these phenomenons. Finally, it is suggested that students should be given exposures on how to structurize the logical arguments and avoid logical fallacies.
