Abstract

The novel "Gadis Kretek" by Ratih Kumala explored the rich tapestry of Indonesian culture, blended traditional values with the nuances of modernity. This study aimed to examine the interplay between tradition and modernity in "Gadis Kretek." It sought to understand how Ratih Kumala portrayed the tension between these two forces and how this portrayal reflected the broader socio-cultural context of Indonesia. The research employed a qualitative approach, utilizing literary analysis to dissect the novel's themes, characters, and narrative structure. Key elements such as cultural representation, character development, and the historical backdrop of the kretek industry are analyzed to uncover the underlying messages about tradition and modernity. The analysis revealed that "Gadis Kretek" juxtaposes traditional Javanese cultural elements with the encroachment of modern values and economic practices. Characters in the novel navigated these conflicting forces, showcasing the resilience of tradition amidst inevitable change. The kretek industry served as a symbol of this duality, representing both heritage and progress. Ratih Kumala's "Gadis Kretek" effectively captured the dynamic interplay between tradition and modernity in Indonesian society. The novel highlights the challenges and adaptations faced by individuals and communities in preserving cultural identity while embracing modern advancements. This study underscored the importance of literary works in reflecting and shaping societal values and transitions.

Abstract

This study explores the experiences, challenges, and perceptions of Indonesian senior high school students, specifically those with Sundanese mother tongue backgrounds, as they utilize the "U-Dictionary" app to enhance their English pronunciation. Employing a qualitative case study approach with semi-structured interviews, the research investigates students' experiences with the app, their challenges, and their perceptions of its features and effectiveness. Additionally, it examines the influence of cultural factors, such as Sundanese phonology, on pronunciation acquisition. Grounded in Kolb's experiential learning cycle, the analysis focuses on how the app's functionalities, including pronunciation assistance, translation tools, and interactive feedback, contribute to pronunciation development. The findings indicate that students appreciated the app's interactive and user-friendly features, which facilitated their pronunciation practice and increased their confidence in speaking English. However, they faced challenges in accurately mimicking native pronunciation due to phonological differences and occasional inconsistencies in the app's feedback. Generally, students also perceived U-Dictionary as a powerful tool for pronunciation practice besides suggesting improvements in feedback accuracy and the inclusion of more tailored exercises. This study highlights the potential of mobile technology in supporting language learning for non-native speakers with specific linguistic backgrounds, providing valuable recommendations for app developers to enhance the app's functionalities and for educators to integrate such tools effectively into their teaching practices.

Abstract

This qualitative study focused on reporting online teaching and learning English writing and identifying the reasons beyond learning loss in the pandemic. It focused on 50 third-grade students, 4 English teachers, and 5 parents at an upper secondary school level in Sukabumi. They were selected purposively. The instruments used were questionnaires, observations, and interviews. The results revealed that online learning significantly changed the teaching preparation and process. Teachers and students had to adapt to new pedagogical approaches, from face-to-face to online classes. Effective online English learning requires well-structured, scheduled, and coordinated learning activities to enhance effectiveness. The pandemic posed challenges to online learning, including technological issues, a lack of discipline, and creative activities. English learners faced difficulties such as collaborative planning, accessibility issues, and multimedia resource use, whereas parents and teachers faced difficulties in supervising and managing work schedules and providing support. Online education had a significant impact on English learning, enhancing interaction through complicated materials and addressing the lack of face-to-face interaction and internet connectivity.

Abstract

ABSTRACT This study investigates the relationship between listening anxiety and listening comprehension in critical listening classes. The research is motivated by the crucial role of listening skills in learning English as a foreign language and the challenges posed by listening anxiety, which can affect comprehension. The objectives are to assess the impact of the Project-Based Learning (PjBL) method on reducing students' listening anxiety and to explore the correlation between listening anxiety and listening comprehension in these classes. The research employs a correlational study design to analyze the relationship between two variables: listening anxiety (independent variable) and listening comprehension (dependent variable). The study involved two critical listening classes with a total population of 41 students, from which a sample of 25% was selected. Data were collected using a questionnaire adapted from the Foreign Language Listening Anxiety Scale (FLLAS) and a multiple-choice listening comprehension test. Analysis was conducted using SPSS 20.0 to determine the relationship between listening anxiety and comprehension. The results indicate that the average listening anxiety score among students falls within the “very good” range (81–87), suggesting low anxiety levels. Conversely, the average listening comprehension score is classified as “low,” with scores ranging between 53 and 61. The study finds a significant inverse relationship between listening anxiety and comprehension, meaning that higher levels of listening anxiety are associated with poorer listening comprehension, while lower anxiety levels are linked to better comprehension. These findings suggest that reducing listening anxiety could enhance students' ability to understand spoken language in critical listening contexts.
