Abstract

This study is intended to analyze the language style of Gibran’s The Broken Wings by tracing the novel’s content and to discuss the meaning of Gibran’s clauses or sentences written in personification and simile. In this article, the writer discusses the elements of the novel generally. The method used is descriptive-qualitative. And the finding of the study is that the author’s way of using personification and simile is very much influenced by environment. Analysis reveals that Gibran’s use of figurative language, particularly personification and simile, serves to evoke emotional responses and reflect the social and spiritual conditions of his time. Through personification, nature and abstract concepts are given human traits, creating a deeper emotional resonance. The findings suggest that Gibran’s literary style is deeply rooted in his cultural background, personal experiences, and philosophical beliefs.

Abstract

This study investigates EFL students' experiences using YouTube channels in their essay-writing learning. Ten fourth-semester English Education Department students from UIN Antasari Banjarmasin participated in the study. Interviews and documentation were used to gather data using a qualitative approach and the narrative inquiry method. The results indicated that YouTube videos provide visual aids and flexible access, which aid students in developing their writing abilities, increasing their vocabulary, and learning on their own. Nevertheless, problems including passive learning, distraction, and a lack of lecturer contact also surfaced. In general, YouTube's contribution to writing education was seen as advantageous.
