Abstract

This study examines the impact of the debate technique on improving English public speaking skills among college students learning English as a foreign language. Conducting a Classroom Action Research (CAR) with 38 participants over 12 weeks, the researchers identified initial deficiencies in speaking abilities such as vocabulary, pronunciation, and fluency, highlighted by students' anxiety and low confidence. The intervention, implemented in two cycles, utilized British Parliamentary debate formats to develop critical thinking, argumentation, and public speaking proficiency. Results demonstrated substantial enhancement, increasing from 44.74% to 94.74% in students meeting required competency benchmarks, specifically being able to master public speaking with scores exceeding the passing grade. The findings affirm that debate techniques significantly foster confidence, fluency, and overall speaking abilities. This research highlights the importance of dynamic teaching methods in developing effective communicators in a globalized context. Keywords: Public Speaking; Debate; Classroom Action Research

Abstract

This research critically examines how capitalist environmental values, characterized by profit-driven conservation, political manipulation, and market commodification, are represented in Michael Crichton’s State of Fear. Moreover, this study extends Stern and Dietz’s foundational environmental values framework by introducing new categories that reflect the complexities of environmental discourse in contemporary capitalist societies, providing a nuanced understanding of how ecological concerns are intertwined with economic and political interests. This research uses a qualitative approach based on textual data from the novel State of Fear. Then, the data was analyzed using close reading techniques to find indicators of capitalist environmental values, which were then interpreted using environmental value theory, green capitalism, and classical capitalism. The results of this research show that capitalist environmental values can be expressed through three things. The first is profit-driven conservation, which shows that environmental conservation is carried out only based on economic benefits. The second is the use of political and religious power to obscure the exploitation of the environment and society and build a positive image. The last is the creation and mystification of markets, which reflects how environmental issues are transformed into markets and give rise to products that seem to support environmental morality and build an image that disguises environmental damage.Keywords: Capitalist Environmental Value; Capitalism; Profit, Politics; Ecological Discourse

Abstract

Semiotics is a scientific study or method of analysis used to examine signs in a context of scenarios, images, texts, and scenes in movies into something that can be interpreted. In this qualitative research, the researchers will examine Roland Barthes’ semiotic analysis with a focus on the difference between denotative meaning (literal meaning) and connotative (deeper or implied meaning) in the representation of visual and verbal symbols in the movie. By examining visual and verbal symbols, such as striped pajamas and barbed wire fences, the research reveals themes of oppression, social inequality, and innocence. The qualitative method includes repeated viewing and detailed note-taking of symbolic elements. This analysis provides insights into how visual media communicates complex historical trauma and moral messages. This movie tells about the friendship between a boy who is the son of the leader of the Nazi armed forces and a boy who is a prisoner living in a concentration camp. This study found that there are 7 elements contained in the film such as the cover, Bruno's family home, concentration camp, striped pajamas, numbers on pajamas, wire fences, and also the friendship between Bruno and Shmuel which illustrate the historical conditions at that time and also reflect the themes of oppression, social differences, injustice, and innocence. The results of this study are expected to deepen the understanding of the use of visual and verbal symbols in film as a tool to convey ideology and cultural insights, as well as moral messages.Keywords: The Boy in the Striped Pajamas; semiotic analysis; denotation; connotation

Abstract

Little Women is a film that offers strong and well-defined characters who each have their own unique way of speaking. Through the analysis of their language, we can see how their strengths, weaknesses, and internal conflicts are reflected in the way they use language. This study aims to reveal the strengths through language found in the March family in the film Little Women. In this study, the researcher used a qualitative descriptive research method using the analysis of the theory of French and Raven (1959). Data collection techniques were carried out by means of observation and literature study. Based on the research that has been done, the researcher draws the conclusion that Jo March eventually succeeded in becoming a writer and her books were successfully published. In this study, the author found four powers contained in Frenc and Raven's theory, namely Legitimate Power, Reward Power, Coercive Power, and information power.
