Abstract

This paper, titled "Unveiling Hanna Schmitz: A Sociocultural Analysis of Morality, Guilt, and Memory in Bernhard Schlink's The Reader," explores the enigmatic character of Hanna Schmitz by examining her moral decisions, guilt, and the influence of societal norms. Through an in-depth analysis, it delves into the complexities of identity formation, memory, and the aftermath of historical trauma, offering insights into the human condition. The study reveals the external factors and internal motives behind Hanna Schmitz's involvement in the Holocaust, following a sociocultural analysis of various aspects that entangle the main character in the consequences of her choices, ultimately leading to her suicide. The analysis highlights how literacy and education can become destructive tools when wielded by ignorant and arrogant elites to segregate and manipulate. Hanna suffers from a societal disease that shapes her actions and fate. The paper argues that society and the tyrannical regime play pivotal roles in shaping Hanna's unfortunate destiny. Her struggle with illiteracy and her efforts to conceal it further underscore the societal pressures and personal conflicts she faces.

Abstract

Global communication currently plays a crucial and highly significant role in both first language (L1) and foreign language (L2) learning situations. This occurs for various reasons, including international commerce, politics, higher education, immigration, and tourism. This article critically examines discourse phenomena in global communication, highlighting discourse metonymy, shifters, and textual metaphor as the discourse techniques used in metadiscourse to enhance communication and meaning creation in global contexts.Based on secondary and tertiary data, this study employs qualitative data analysis. Lev Vygotsky's 1962 interactional theory is used to comprehend communication theory. The purpose of this study is to answer the research question: How beneficial and acceptable are discourse phenomena in terms of meaning-making and global communication? The researcher finds that each of these discourse phenomena plays an important role in the meaning-making process, making communication clearer and more effective for L2 learners, whether at the vocabulary, clause, or sentence level in written texts or oral expression. As a result, the researcher recommends these discourse phenomena to students, teachers, linguists, and researchers for effective and appropriate global communication.

Abstract

The movie portrays aspects of human life, including ecological awareness, which extends beyond preserving natural elements like mountains and rivers to encompass human impact, waste, pollution, vehicles, and global warming. This research aims to examine how Toy Story 4 (2019) conveys ecological awareness through verbal and visual semiotics in selected scenes. The study focuses on a 3-minute and 20-second segment featuring Bonnie, the first character to display ecological awareness. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, 237 data points were analyzed based on theories by Kress Van Leeuwen, Baldry Thibault, and Halliday. These data were categorized into phases and sub-phases. While the film's utterances predominantly feature declarative moods (88%), along with imperative and interrogative moods (6% each), none directly address ecological themes. Instead, ecological awareness is visually represented in Toy Story 4 (2019) through visual grammar, particularly interactive meaning, to effectively illustrate and encourage environmental action for young audiences.

Abstract

Presidential debate (PD) draws the most attention compared to other political discourses as the candidates present their profile and proposals using rhetorical communicative strategy to convince voter candidates and defeat their adversaries. However, the generic structure of PD is seldomly being the perspective of linguistics studies. The paper aims at scrutinizing the genre of USA Presidential debate using the genre analysis framework proposed by Swales and Bhatia. Thus, the study employs two parts of genre analysis: move, and strategies analysis. The present study finds that there are six moves of USA PD namely greetings-informing the debate format, introducing the topic, thesis, argumentation, and closure. The communicative purpose of the moves is persuading the American voters in the election day. The finding implies pivotal stages of PD to construct political discourse. This study is expected to contribute to EFL teaching and learning especially in teaching genre exposition integrated in four English skills.

Abstract

In this study, oral language use was examined in the context of interpersonal communication in order to identify the potential for EFL acquisition. The researchers have chosen a qualitative research approach to help them accomplish the aforementioned goal. In Shambu Town, Oromia, Ethiopia, secondary schools were systematically observed and 45-minute chunks from four EFL teaching courses were videotaped for the study. It is discovered that the teacher fosters language acquisition by overseeing student efforts and emergent knowledge gap fillers by using meticulous transcriptions of such activities and the micro analytic lens of conversation analysis. The efficient use of resources, including corrections, prompt repairs, and thorough explanation, serves as a proof of this. The study offered suggestions for how to enhance L2 acquisition by mixing up language usages in the classroom. The findings have significance for research on interactions in EFL classes, directed language learning, and studies on oral language use in language learning.

Abstract

Native Americans are the first people to reside in the United States of America, specifically the northern part of it. One of the famous Native American poets is Scott Momaday. Momaday is a Kiowa Native American poet, storywriter, and novelist. The purpose of this research is to explain traditions, and the significance of natural landscape in Scott Momaday's poetry, focused on words, images and metaphors by means of descriptive qualitative method.  The researchers endeavor to apply a concept of Shamanism in Momaday's poetry. Shamanism is an ancient healing tradition, and a way of life. It is a way to connect with nature and all the creations. Every plant for native Americans symbolizes a certain thing, cherries symbolize mercy, and they can heal wounds by the ointment. The data are taken from  the poems related to nature and tradition as in The Earth, Eagle Feather Fan, The Delight Song of Tsoai-Talee, and Angle of Geese.  The results show that natural landscape and traditions are linked to spirituality. For Native Americans, there is no difference between animate and inanimate objects;   everything in this life has a soul.
