This study aims to examine the perception of using the TFlat English Pronunciation application and determine how students and instructors view the app, its influence on language learning, and its possible advantages. The research used E-Learning theory adapted from Akaslan and Law (2010) and employed qualitative methods to explore diverse user experiences.

Abstract

This research aims to discover the errors in students’ narrative text translation based on the Surface Strategy Taxonomy. The descriptive qualitative method was used in this research. The populations were the ninth-grade students of SMP Negeri 1 Ambarawa in the academic year 2022/2023. Specifically, 10 students from the IX A class were randomly chosen as the subject. The instrument used was a translation task entitled Kancil dan Buaya. The data was collected by administering the translation test in 90 minutes. Surface Strategy Taxonomy was used to identify the errors in analyzing the data. The results showed that the most frequent error made by students was misformation, while the least common error was misordering. In addition, the component of misformation in which the students made errors the most was the alternating form. Hence, this indicates that the student’s English proficiency, mainly in grammar, is still poor. Further researches are suggested to investigate more the causes of errors that occur in students’ translation through interviews or questionnaires in order to achieve more in-depth data.

Abstract

ABSTRACT This research is focused on the fundamental competencies of students majoring in English and Literature, with the objective of identifying and evaluating their productive language skills and addressing the challenges they encounter in enhancing speaking and writing skills.Quantitative analysis serves as the methodology for this study. The analysis of the data reveals two key findings. Firstly, there exists a diversity of proficiency levels among students, predominantly at the intermediate level. Notably, writing proficiency remains a challenge, with only 53% of students averaging between 1-4 on the scale, indicating a lack of mastery. Similarly, when it comes to writing skills, 60% of students fall within the range of 1 to 4 on the scale. Secondly, challenges stem from various factors, including limited exposure to English outside the classroom, difficulties in grasping cultural context, and a lack of confidence in public speaking. Proposed solutions include the incorporation of interactive learning methodologies, provision of supplementary speaking sessions, and the promotion of cultural sensitivity through diverse activities.

Abstract

The Barbie (2023) film has succeeded in presenting more than just a light spectacle about the iconic doll. Behind the bright colors and seemingly perfect atmosphere of Barbie Land, this film explores profound themes, including identity, gender roles, feminism, and social criticism of society's expectations of women. The archetypal character of Stereotypical Barbie, as the main character, plays a vital role in this film as a representation of the perfect woman in Barbie Land. This study aims to analyze the psychological factors in Barbie's journey that may interfere with or support her. This is reflected in several patterns called archetypes in her personality traits and behavior when facing several stages of the storyline. The data for this study used the film "Barbie" (2023) by Greta Gerwig. The research method used is qualitative descriptive, using a psychoanalytic approach (Jung's Archetype theory). The results found seven archetypal characters represented by Stereotypical Barbie. The findings are Persona, Shadow, Animus, The Great Mother, Hero, Trickster, and Self. These findings will help us understand how the psychological layers in Barbie's story reveal complex dynamics about women's roles, identity crises, and the search for self.

Abstract

Social impact in this research refers to the influence of Amanda Gorman's literary works on society, especially in fighting for values such as equality, courage and solidarity. Gorman's work not only reflects her personal experiences but also has the power to inspire social change and strengthen human connections at various levels of society. This study examines how Amanda Gorman's life experiences and perspectives are expressed through her selected poems. The data were taken from the Encyclopedia Britannica, Amanda Gorman's own website, an exclusive interview with The Associated Press, Amanda Gorman's poems entitled "The Hill We Climb" (2021), "An Ode We Owe" (2022), and "Chorus of the Captains" (2021). This research is a qualitative descriptive approach and applies Sociology of Literature theory as outlined by renowned scholars Wellek and Warren. The novelty in this research lies in the analysis of Amanda Gorman's poetry by expanding the focus from three main concepts (Social Background, Ideology, and Social Integrity) to seven more detailed concepts. The results of this research reveal that Amanda Gorman's poetry reflects seven main concepts: Personal Struggles and Triumphs, Urban Experience, Cultural Identity and Heritage, Activism through Art, Intersectionality of Gender and Race, Community Building, and Moral and Ethical Advocacy. Gorman draws on her personal experiences and cultural identity to convey social issues through poetry, which reinforces messages of solidarity, justice, and change in society.
