Abstract

The study's purpose was to determine the effect of the word wall approach and vocabulary acquisition on students' writing skills. For this quasi-experimental study, students in MA Negeri 1 Serang's class XI IPA 1 are randomly assigned to one of four different factorial designs, each with a 2x2 nonequivalent control group. Data on learning outcomes were gathered via pre- and post-test activities. The samples consisted of 60 students picked at random and matched to the study's circumstances and objectives. The findings indicate a substantial difference between the experimental and control groups on the posttest. The Fo was 5.225, and the Sig. was 0.025<0.05. Thus, although the null hypothesis was rejected, the research hypothesis was supported. Additionally, it suggests that the impact of combining the word wall approach with vocabulary knowledge on pupils' writing ability varies.

Abstract

The article writing found in the Jakarta post is essential to understand, especially in learning English and to know the quality of the article. This study aimed to determine what type of lexical cohesion is most prevalent in Jakarta Post educational articles and why that type of lexical cohesion is prevalent in the first place. The researcher used Halliday and Hassan's theories about lexical cohesion, which is lexical cohesion divided into two kinds, namely reiteration and collocation. There are five types of reiteration: repetition, synonymy, antonym, meronym, and hyponym. This study was conducted using the qualitative method. Data analysis used Miles and Huberman's model (reduction, display, and verification). The outcomes were discovered. Repetition occurred in nine items, synonymy in five items, hyponymy in an item, antonym in an item, meronym in an item, and collocation in five items. The most dominant kind that was found is repetition, with nine items. It is more dominantly found in educational articles because the article shows the quantity of affirmation of ideas or intensity and beauty in clarifying the contents of the text.

Abstract

This study aims to reveal the writing style in the novel The Curse of the King by Peter Lerangis, especially in its figurative speech namely metaphor and simile. The classification of metaphors analyzed uses Newmark's classification and the simile classification used in this study is the classification described by Fromilhague. A qualitative method was used to answer the problem of the study. The research showed that there were thirteen metaphors and fifty-two similes. The metaphor compositions found were one Dead Metaphor, two Recent Metaphors, Three Stock metaphors, seven Original Metaphors, and no Cliche Metaphors. The similes found were five Explicit Similes and forty-seven Implicit Similes. Metaphors and similes in the novel use many popular references such as the words of Donald Trump, party guest, Children of the Corn, Velcro, Ninja, props in a movie, Soprano, Pizza, Flashmob, a dancer on steroids, Looney Tunes, and ET. The combination of past history with a writing style that uses popular figures of speech becomes an interesting mix that makes the novel gain many fans in the world. The novelty of this type of research is still very broad, especially in research on new words in historical fiction such as in the work of Peter Lerangis.

Abstract

Employing ecology as the pivotal basis of its narrative, Dune by Frank Herbert is regarded as the pioneer of ecological science-fiction novels. This qualitative study intends to examine the exploitation and conservation of nature and how human background influences such behaviours in Frank Herbert’s Dune. The researcher employs an ecocritical approach to literature to discuss the compiled textual data. Through the thematic analysis technique, this article reveals how Dune highlights the issues of the authority party and the indigenous society of Arrakis triggered by the abundance of the spice melange and the absence of water and vegetation, where these two sides of the population have contradictory intentions towards natural resources—exploiting and conserving. Moreover, the study unveils that the extortion attempts of the Galactic Imperium, the Harkonnens, CHOAM, and the Spacing Guild are driven by political and economic motives, and the conservation effort of the Fremen and the Atreides is the outcome of their ecological awareness.

Abstract

This study aims to investigate how a man constructs his masculinity stereotype as a father and caregiver as represented in the original Netflix’s Fatherhood. This research is qualitative with Stuart Hall's Perspectives of Representation as an approach. This perspective is to find the meaning of American fatherhood as represented in the film and to explore how the meaning of fatherhood significantly affects the global meaning of transnational communication in media. Qualitative means that a film as well as text is read from its language, image, and other aspects such as color, lighting, composition, articulation details, and role positions are taken consideration in finding meaning. The results of the study show that the fatherhood concept symbolizes ideal masculinity, anti-thesis of traditional masculinity, develops hybrid masculinity, rejects femininity as well as hegemonic masculinity, and pro-gender equality. In conclusion, the fatherhood concept inspires non-America films such as Indonesian and Indian films. This research proves that a film is made not only for economic aspects or a visual product that is intended to entertain the audience, but a film is a text that can be read, evaluated, and analyzed in depth through various approaches since a film represents a reality.

To cope with the previous goal, case study was used as the research design. Additionally, observation through audio recording and interviews were implemented to collect the data. The finding of this study are: 1) one type of speaking was found which is dialogue and; 2) six functions of speaking discovered which are exchanging personal information, expressing future intentions, giving directions, giving advice & making suggestions, describing, and interacting in social situations. By practicing the type and functions above, the students were able to demonstrate the functional competence of speaking to meet their duty as hotel receptionists which is bridging good communication between the hotel and the guest. In addition, by highlighting these findings, it is expected that the data can be used by the English Study Program to prepare the material for the speaking course before succeeding students complete the internship program as hotel receptionists.

Abstract

This study investigates whether or not students' critical thinking skills can be improved through the use of digital storytelling. It was a pre-experimental design in which one group was tested twice, once before treatment was given and once after treatment had been administered. The instrument consisted of a test that included both multiple-choice questions and an essay test in order to evaluate the students' capacity for critical thinking after they had been exposed to narrative texts. Twenty students from a language class at one of the Islamic senior high schools in Bali, Indonesia, were the ones who took part in the study. In order to evaluate the growth of the students, the data were put through a paired sample t-test for analysis. The findings demonstrated that using digital storytelling to tell a story can strengthen students' ability to think critically. It was established that the mean score on the pre-test was 63.85, and the mean score on the post-test was 84.85, which indicates that there was an increase in performance. In addition, the significance value was 0.000, which was a number that was lower than 0.05. It meant that students' analytical and deductive reasoning abilities improved. It is strongly recommended, for the purposes of future research, to carry out studies using a significantly larger number of samples.
