Abstract

The theme of alienation is explored in Mary Shelley’s 'Frankenstein' as this study investigates how the narrative mirror the various intricacies of human relations and demands on society in the Victorian times. In the study, the psychological and social dimensions of alienation in Victor Frankenstein, and his creation are analysed qualitatively, using a text analysis. What the findings show is that alienation is not a matter of personal struggle but rather reflects broader moral and social struggles, including the aftermath of the Industrial Revolution and attempts to construct identity in a changing world. By providing insights into the messy nature of alienation as multifaceted phenomenon, crossing time, this study contributes to the discussion of individuality and societal dissociation, which have become topics of discussion in contemporary literature. This study therefore also has the implications that literature can contribute to the enduring human concern, and should continue to become explored in terms of alienation in historical and modern contexts.

Abstract

This study is aimed at investigating the capability of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in understanding the context on text, based on the users' experience. The research question is formulated: to what extent can AI understand and incorporate contextual context when generating text, through the experiences of participants. The methodology for this study follows a qualitative case study design, as outlined by Baxter and Jack (2008), which allows for an in-depth exploration of the phenomenon—AI's capability in understanding context, through participants' experiences. Data collection is conducted using two primary techniques: questionnaires, to gather quantitative data on participants' perceptions of AI's contextual understanding, and interviews, to obtain deeper qualitative insights. The data from the questionnaires will be analyzed using content analysis, which will categorize and quantify participants' responses. The results of the interviews revealed patterns and meanings related to how AI processes and understands context. The findings have practical consequences for developers and users of AI text-generation software.

Abstract

The study examined the language learning strategies and motivations of EFL learners in Banjarmasin Junior High Schools, South Kalimantan, Indonesia. The researchers used a mixed-method approach, collecting data from 60 student participants across 3 State Islamic Junior High Schools and 3 State Junior High Schools in the region. The data were gathered through a survey questionnaire and semi-structured interviews. The quantitative data were analyzed using SPSS to identify the preferred strategies and levels of motivation. The qualitative data were analyzed using thematic analysis to gain insights into the learners' strategy use and motivations. The findings reveal that the participants utilized a variety of language learning strategies, such as cognitive, metacognitive, social, and affective strategies, to acquire and learn English. The participants were found to be both integratively and instrumentally motivated to learn English, driven by a desire to integrate with the target language community as well as practical reasons, like academic and career prospects. The study offers valuable insights into the language learning behaviors and motivations of young Banjarese EFL learners, which can inform more effective English language teaching and learning practices in the region.

Abstract

This paper examined Julius Caesar and Macbeth as a tragic play written by William Shakespeare. In particular, this work of art deals briefly with the error of judgment which inevitably led to the tragic downfall of the characters particularly the protagonist in each play. This study utilized the qualitative research using objective approach and textual analysis. The researchers incorporated ideas from literary device called Hamartia by Aristotle, and the formalistic approach. This gives emphasis to the error of judgment of the characters found in two major plays of Shakespeare and show that this error has to do with their downfall and its implication to teaching literature. In the play Macbeth, the focus is on the ambition of the protagonist of becoming a king, and being too ambitious led him to danger while Julius Caesar’s error of judgement was his pride, arrogance and individual quest for power, self-priority and use of popularist tactics to further own political gains which led to political and military leadership. With all the good and horrible deeds of the characters in the play, the cause of the tragic end of the protagonist must be emphasized in the classroom discussions, since it is indeed timely and relevant for the readers to analyze how the sequence of the events changes from the state of happiness to a state of misery.

Abstract

This paper explores the role of cultural hegemony in perpetuating caste- and class-based oppression in contemporary India through a critical reading of Aravind Adiga’s The White Tiger. Grounded in Antonio Gramsci’s theory of hegemony, it examines how ideological consent, coercion, and institutional complicity normalize systemic domination. The novel portrays how caste and class hierarchies persist not just through overt force, but through cultural mechanisms that internalize obedience among the oppressed. Balram Halwai’s morally ambiguous rise from rural servitude to urban entrepreneurship reflects a critique of the entrenched structures of power that manipulate ideology, economy, and identity. Through qualitative textual analysis, the paper reveals how moments of rebellion, while disruptive, and are often reabsorbed into hegemonic systems. Ultimately, the study emphasizes literature’s capacity to critique and challenge dominant ideologies, situating The White Tiger within broader debates on power, resistance, and subaltern agency in Indian fiction and cultural discourse.

Abstract

This research delves into the use of adjacency pairs in conversations between non-native speakers and EFL learners at De Access Hotel and Culinary Training Centre, employing discourse analysis. The study aimed to identify patterns of adjacency pairs in compliment exchanges and explore the preferred and dispreferred responses. Using a descriptive qualitative approach with a case study design, data were collected through passive observer participation observation during language classes. The researcher transcribed and analyzed spoken conversations, revealing consistent (Q – A) and (Q – A, Q – A, Q – A) patterns, emphasizing question-answer exchanges. Positive utterances (U) and non-verbal gestures (G) added diversity, while complex patterns like (Q (Q – A) A) and (U (Q – A) U) showcased layered interactions. The preferred response predominantly featured (Question – Answer), occurring seven times, followed by (Requesting – Acceptance) six times, while dispreferred responses were rare, primarily (Question – Unexpected Answer). This research provides English Department students with insights into adjacency pair patterns, preferred and dispreferred responses, enhancing classroom communication.

Abstract

Many academic authors expect plagiarism-free writing to contribute to developing academic integrity, but dishonest practices, such as plagiarism, in English research articles remain unavoidable. This study records the author’s perennial challenges in combatting plagiarism to reach a near-zero level when writing an English research article. It also documents the author’s emotional expressions through a visual image to represent the physical experiences. This study integrates two data collection methods, including autophenomenograpy and photovoice, respectively. The results reveal several challenges encountered in decreasing plagiarism levels, including in the search for credible sources, literature conceptualisation, utilisation of free vs paid plagiarism checkers, co-authorship empowerment, and preference for prestige. Emotional expressions reflected through selected images (i.e., bush, unfinished house, doll as a team, dollar symbol, and graduation cap) lead to academic solutions, such as careful literature selection, critical thinking, reliance on the premium version of plagiarism checker, co-authorship task division, and self-writing discipline. In addition, recommendations for university stakeholders and teachers are discussed, bridging the gap between near-zero plagiarism levels and research article writing.

Abstract

This research explores the pivotal role of indigenous storytelling as a decolonial strategy in Ben Okri’s The Famished Road. Drawing on postcolonial theory as articulated by Frantz Fanon, Aimé Césaire, Edward Said, and contemporary critics such as Ashcroft, Griffiths, and Tiffin, the study situates Okri’s novel within the broader context of Africa’s ongoing struggle to reclaim voice, land, and cultural identity in the aftermath of colonialism. The analysis foregrounds how Okri employs Yoruba cosmology, oral narrative forms, and mythic structures to resist colonial epistemologies and assert indigenous worldviews. By engaging with the works of scholars like Marnta Rani, Nasta Shushella, Simon Gikandi, and Ato Quayson, the research demonstrates that storytelling in The Famished Road is not merely a literary device but a dynamic force for cultural survival, resistance, and renewal. Through close textual analysis and critical engagement with historical and theoretical sources, the study reveals how Okri’s narrative practices challenge neocolonial power structures, amplify marginalized voices, and contribute to the ongoing project of decolonization in African literature.

Abstract

This article presents a theoretical analysis of Generative Grammar and its relevance in contemporary linguistics. The discussion begins with an overview of the origins of Generative Grammar, particularly the contributions of Noam Chomsky, who introduced the idea that language is a mental capacity governed by an internal system of rules known as Universal Grammar. Utilizing a qualitative analytical method, the article synthesizes and compares primary theoretical contributions and critiques from various linguistic schools to assess the current status and applicability of Generative Grammar. The analysis reveals that Generative Grammar continues to play an important role in linguistic theory, especially in understanding syntactic phenomena and language acquisition.
