Abstract

Previous studies have shown that studying abroad such as participating in a student exchange program affects the second language (L2) learning outcomes. However, it has yet to be proven whether a short-term experience, such as participation in a virtual student exchange program has a measurable impact on L2 or foreign language development. The present study examines the improvement of English learners speaking skills after participating in a six-week international virtual student exchange program on Asian culture. It is a collaboration among health education institutions in Indonesia, Thailand, Japan, and The Philippines. This study employed quantitative and qualitative methods. Ten Indonesian EFL students were involved in this study and their speaking proficiency was measured before and after participating in the virtual program. A structured interview was also conducted to yield more information on their experience in the program. Statistic findings indicated a significant difference between the students’ speaking proficiency before and after the program (Sig. = 0.004 < 0.05), which meant that their English-speaking proficiency improved over six weeks. The statistical findings are consistent with the student's report stating that they felt more confident and comfortable speaking in English upon participation in the program. These findings extend our understanding that a short-term virtual student exchange experience significantly impacts the speaking proficiency and personal development of Indonesian EFL students. The results of this study imply that efforts to support such international virtual programs should continue.

The research utilizes a qualitative descriptive method, employing interviews and documentation as data collection techniques. Thirty-three students from LPBA Nurul Jadid were interviewed to gather data, which was subsequently analysed using qualitative descriptive methods, including data reduction, data presentation, inference and verification, and drawing conclusions. The interview results revealed that 88% of the students held a positive perception of learning to listen through English songs.

It was observed that after completing the listening tasks assigned by the teacher, the students promptly submitted their assignments, leaving no tangible evidence. However, the researcher did uncover specific song titles used by the teacher in the listening activities, namely "Sweet but Psycho" by Ava Max and "Lily" by Alan Walker.

Abstract

Psychology is the science that studies human behavior which is applied in analyzing human personality. This journal examines the application of the psychological theories of Sigmund Freud (Id, Ego, and Superego) and Abraham Maslow (physiological needs, safety needs, love and belonging needs, self-esteem, and self-actualization) in analyzing Ellie Chu the main character of the film "The Half of It". The author uses the descriptive qualitative research method to explain Ellie Chu's character. The author obtained data from watching the film "The Half of It" which was released by Netflix in 2020 and reading the script for the film "The Half of it". Directed by Alice Wu, this film follows the journey of Ellie Chu, a talented young writer who gets entangled in a journey of finding a complex identity in her small town. This analysis aims to show how the application of Freud's and Maslow's theories provides insight into Ellie's character development and motivation throughout the film. By exploring her subconscious desires and the fulfillment of her needs, we gain a deeper understanding of her actions, decisions, and emotional journey. Understanding the psychological underpinnings of Ellie's character increases our appreciation of the film's themes of identity, love, and self-discovery. It is hoped that from this analysis the readers can also be inspired by the story of Ellie Chu who can take responsibility for truth, honesty, and sacrifice.

Abstract

This research contributes to language development, especially adjectival retention as a very basic resilience in the text. Research on adjectives has been conducted by (Kennedy, 2013), (Schiff et al., 2014), (Sharma et al., 2015), (Sato et al., 2016), (Cutillas & Tolchinsky, 2017) Compared to the previous studies, however, the present study focuses on adjectival retention. In addition, the research findings also provide an understanding of the use of adjectives with the meaningfulness contained in the sentence. This research is a qualitative one, using a content analysis method. The data consist of persuasive essays written by 83 students of Indonesian Language and Literature Education Program in the Faculty of Languages and Literature at State University of Makassar, submitted during March to September 2019 period. While the research data were in the form of adjectives in the essays submitted, the research instrument was the researchers themselves. Data collection was done by giving assignments to the students to write persuasive essays. Data analysis techniques were identifying, reducing, presenting the data, verifying, and drawing conclusions about adjectival retention. The findings of the study indicate the following cases of adjectival retention: (a) weakening of positive adjectival retention; (b) intensive retention occurring not only with the precursor which precedes it, but also with the constituent following it; (c) elative retention appearing only after the use of verbs in the sentence; (d) excessive adjectival retention having a formation that occurs due to a conjunction stating the cause; (e) retention of argumentative adjectives placing emphasis on the part of the core sentence; (f) retention of attenuate adjectives reinforcing one another and not weakening the other parts. Overall, some 42% of the essays contain adjectival retention and 58% of them were without adjectival retention.
