Abstract

This study investigates students’ ability to identify and interpret figurative language in the old literature short story “The Nightingale and the Rose” by Oscar Wilde. Figurative language such as metaphor, simile, symbolism, personification, and hyperbole plays an essential role in conveying deeper meanings within literary works. However, students often face challenges in understanding these elements due to complex language structures and cultural contexts. This study employed a mixed-methods descriptive approach, combining qualitative interpretation of students’ analyses with quantitative coding to calculate the frequency of figurative language types. The participants were 17 sixth-semester English Department students at STKIP Muhammadiyah Sungai Penuh. Data were collected through guided literary analysis tasks. The findings revealed that students showed varied comprehension levels: metaphor (58.83%) and simile (52.94%) were the most accurately identified, while symbolism (23.52%) remained the most difficult. The study suggests that guided reading and literary discussion significantly enhance students’ interpretative skills. Effective teaching strategies are needed to help learners appreciate figurative language in old literature.

Abstract

This study explores the pragmatic meanings embedded in the traditional ceremonies of the Batu Bara Malay community as expressed through English descriptions. These rituals are rich in cultural values and communicative intentions. However, they have rarely been examined from a linguistic perspective that focuses on language use in context. The main objective of this research is to investigate how ritual expressions such as blessings, symbolic utterances, and culturally marked instructions are conveyed in translated or interpreted English texts. Using a qualitative descriptive method grounded in speech act theory and ethno-pragmatics, data were collected from four primary sources: interviews with cultural figures (35%), ritual observations with audio-video recordings (30%), bilingual document analysis (25%), and field notes on the ceremonial context (10%). The results indicate that 67% of English translations partially retained the original communicative force, 23% showed significant meaning shifts, particularly in indirect speech acts and politeness strategies, and only 10% fully preserved the original sociocultural intentions. These findings reveal the complexity of maintaining cultural meanings in cross-linguistic communication and the potential for meaning loss during translation. This study contributes to a deeper understanding of cultural pragmatics in multilingual translation and highlights the importance of culturally sensitive translation practices. It concludes that such practices are crucial to preserving the sociocultural integrity of local traditions and promoting more effective intercultural understanding.

Abstract

The integration of digital media in English language teaching (ELT) has been widely recognized for improving students’ motivation, engagement, and learning outcomes. However, few studies have examined how students perceive the absence of such media in their classrooms. This study investigated the perceptions of eighth-grade students at SMPN 13 Surabaya regarding the lack of digital media in English language learning. Guided by the Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) framework, this quantitative study employed a structured 20-item questionnaire involving 48 participants. Data were analyzed using validity and reliability tests, descriptive statistics, and Pearson correlation in SPSS version 29. The results showed all items were valid and reliable (Cronbach’s Alpha: 0.824 for Media Use; 0.956 for Teaching Quality). Students generally viewed their teachers’ performance positively (M = 3.11) despite the infrequent use of digital media (M = 3.00). The correlation between media use and teaching quality was positive but very low and not statistically significant (r = 0.168, p > 0.05), possibly due to the small sample size and teachers’ adaptability to conventional methods. These findings highlight that while teacher competence remains central to teaching quality, integrating digital media can further enrich classroom engagement and learning effectiveness.

Abstract

Students’ writing does not always show significant improvement despite receiving feedback from the teachers in writing class. Furthermore, some challenges faced by teachers and students in the feedback process include limited time for teacher reviewing and for students reviewing the feedback, and the curriculum constraints that must be followed. Most of the previous research focused on one type of feedback and study teacher and peer feedback separately. However, this study shifts the focus toward students’ insights and preferences on both types of feedback. Specifically, it explores three areas: students’ insights into teacher feedback and peer feedback, and how students integrate and prefer both types of feedback. The population consisted of 205 second-semester students in the English Education Program enrolled in 2024 who had taken a writing subject and had experienced both teacher and peer feedback in the writing process. As sample, 64 students met the research criteria and completed the questionnaire. Data were collected through close-ended questionnaire, developed from Nicol & MacFarlane-Dick (2006) seven principles of good feedback practice. The results were analyzed using percentage. It showed that the students saw the feedback from teacher and peers can complement each other in helping them improve their performance in writing class. They believed that the teacher’s feedback as detailed, clear, and reliable while peer feedback can support active learning, collaboration, and critical reflection. Although sometimes the students had conflicting feedback between teacher and peer, they could apply the most useful feedback in revising their work.

Abstract

EFL learners make efforts to learn speaking skills in order to communicate in the global world. Through speaking, they are able to express their feelings and thoughts. However, there are always some challenges faced by ELF learners in learning speaking, so that teachers play critical functions as they are most commonly used as prompters as well as feedback providers to motivate them to speak. The purposes of this study were to analyze the teacher’s strategies in teaching speaking to 29 students at SDIT Darul Qur'an Mulia, as well as to recognize the impacts of the strategies implemented. The writers applied qualitative research, and the case study was chosen as the design of study. To collect data, the writers conducted classroom observations to find out the teaching speaking strategies used in classroom teaching. Then, the writers conducted interview to discover the strategies’ impacts on students speaking skills by delivering questions to the teacher. As a result, there were seven types of strategies implemented to teach speaking, namely live listening, writing task, task repetition, drilling, dialogue, discussion, and conversation strategies. Further, based on the interview results, students showed positive responses to the implemented speaking strategies. Moreover, the impacts of the teacher's speaking strategies discovered include encouraging students to think positively, get more involved in learning, improve their speaking skills, and enjoy the learning process more. Therefore, the results suggest that incorporating interactive and student-centered approaches should be considered in teacher training and curriculum development to enhance students’ speaking skills.

Abstract

This study investigates how language is used to construct positive travel experiences in online reviews of tour services in Central Java, Indonesia. It aims to reveal the linguistic and pragmatic strategies through which international tourists express satisfaction, gratitude, and interpersonal warmth in digital communication. Drawing upon Discourse Analysis (Fairclough, 1992) and Politeness Theory (Brown & Levinson, 1987), 150 English-language TripAdvisor reviews written by foreign travelers who had participated in tour programs across major destinations in Central Java were analyzed qualitatively through discourse-pragmatic interpretation. The analysis focused on evaluative expressions, politeness markers, and narrative framing that revealed the writers’ affective stance. Findings show that reviewers frequently employed expressive lexical choices, intensifiers, and positive adjectives (e.g., amazing, helpful, friendly) to strengthen affective meaning. Pragmatically, tourists often used direct appreciation, collectivist expressions, and culturally sensitive compliments (e.g., thank you so much, we truly appreciate it) to establish solidarity and warmth. These linguistic strategies demonstrate how reviewers not only evaluate tour services but also enact politeness norms and rapport-building within digital discourse. The study concludes that online reviews extend traditional Indonesian values of sopan santun (courtesy) into digital interaction, reinforcing Central Java’s image as a hospitable and culturally respectful destination in global tourism communication.

Abstract

Poetry, as a form of literary expression, plays a significant role in conveying complex emotions and abstract ideas through imaginative language. This study aims to analyze the use of figurative speech in Helena Natasha’s poetry collection Dreams Spelled in Poetry, which explores themes of dreams, identity, and personal aspirations. The research is significant in providing a deeper understanding of how figurative language contributes to meaning-making and emotional expression in contemporary poetry. This study employs a qualitative descriptive approach as proposed. The data were collected through documentation techniques focusing on poetic lines containing figurative expressions. The analysis is based on theory of figurative speech, which classifies twelve types of figurative language. The data were analyzed using the interactive model, including data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal that 402 instances of figurative language were identified, with metaphor (68%) and personification (14%) as the most dominant types. These results indicate that Helena Natasha predominantly employs metaphorical and humanizing expressions to convey emotional depth and abstract meaning. The study concludes that figurative language plays a central role in enhancing the aesthetic and interpretative value of poetry.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the concept of moral responsibility in the moral philosophy of Immanuel Kant and its relevance to teacher professional ethics. Kant’s ethical theory emphasizes that the moral value of an action is determined by intention and adherence to duty rather than consequences. This research employs a qualitative descriptive approach using library research. The data sources include Kant’s primary philosophical texts and relevant literature on educational ethics. Data are collected through document analysis and analyzed using interpretative and thematic analysis to identify key ethical principles and their application in teaching practice. The findings show that the categorical imperative encourages teachers to treat students as ends in themselves, promoting fairness, respect, and integrity in classroom interactions. Teachers are positioned as moral agents responsible not only for knowledge transmission but also for students’ character development and dignity. However, challenges such as administrative pressures, curriculum demands, and social changes may hinder the consistent application of Kantian ethics in practice.mIn conclusion, integrating Kant’s moral philosophy into teacher professionalism supports a more humanistic and morally grounded educational environment, while highlighting the need for reflective practice and institutional support.
