Abstract

The aim of this research is to integrate character education by comprehending the plot in Guy Maupassant's The Story of a Farm Girl. Through an analysis and discussion of the novel's narrative, it becomes evident that the story follows a progressive plot structure. The stages, commencing with exposition and culminating in resolution, vividly illustrate this progression. In the exposition phase, characters and impending conflicts are introduced, while rising tensions materialize as Jacques breaks his promise to Rose upon discovering her pregnancy, subsequently fleeing. As Rose's pregnancy becomes conspicuous, her fears escalate, prompting her to remain hidden until childbirth. Although Rose weds her master, he remains unaware of her child. Ultimately, Rose reveals her concealed truths to Mr. Valin. Employing a descriptive analysis methodology, this research underscores the implications of plot analysis in The Story of a Farm Girl for character education in schools. It emphasizes the scrutiny of content and language, thereby fostering ethical growth alongside literary comprehension.

Abstract

AbstractIn this ever-changing modern age, EFL educators are still in search of more meaningful speaking learning enterprises by which second language learners are strongly encouraged to endure various L2 communication practice hurdles to transform into more proficient speakers. One of the promising ways to actualize this speaking-learning aspiration is through the use of digital storytelling. Previous researchers believed that digital storytelling could potentially promote a higher degree of speaking learning enjoyment where EFL learners’ speaking competencies can thrive to the utmost potential. This present small-scale library study was initiated to exhaustively investigate the positive influences of digital storytelling on EFL learners’ speaking skills improvement. To release this main study objective, the researcher conducted a thematic analysis of 25 previous digital storytelling and speaking studies to generate more relevant and comprehensible research results. Based on the thematic analysis, the constant utilization of digital storytelling was proved to transform EFL learners into more insightful L2 speakers and promote a psychologically sound speaking learning atmosphere in which their targeted L2 communicative competencies can be fostered to the fullest development. Future researchers need to include broader English language learning scopes and a greater number of reviewed digital storytelling investigations to generate more rewarding research results relevant to the applicability and feasibility of online learning platforms in modern EFL learning enterprises. Keywords: digital storytelling, speaking skills, library study

Abstract

Vocabulary is part and parcel of learning of a second or a foreign language. This study examined the effect of vocabulary learning through translation of English words (Persian equivalents) and the use of English synonym on the retention and retrieval of vocabularies. Static-group comparison design was utilized to scrutinize sixty EFL learners split into two groups. The experimental group was instructed on the memorizing strategies and the control one left alone to memorize words presented in class in a week time span. The experimental group being taught on coding, interim device, and visual imagery strategies was assayed on spot by dint of written word recognition tests for their receptive knowledge of synonyms written on the board. The findings of the matching test tasks divulged that the learners’ recognitions of synonyms than the first language equivalents were significantly higher. The experimental group significantly scored higher in the recognition test of synonyms than that of translation equivalents. Results have practical implications and application for foreign language learning and teaching which are discussed.

Abstract

This study looks at the lecturer's linguistic style when delivering material on literary criticism. In this instance, the emphasis is on the stylistic analysis to expose the usage of figurative language and its role in the dialogue between the lecturer and the students.  Therefore, the purpose of this study is to examine the figurative language used by a lecturer in a literary class. This study employs the qualitative technique and selects a participant based on the requirements of having a master's degree, having 10 years of teaching experience, and being recommended in order to have an in-depth talk. The data, which are expressed as words, phrases, or sentences, are acquired from audio-video recordings of spoken speech. The recording was made during a lecture in a classroom to obtain an actual situation of the recordings. Furthermore, this study discovered twelve types of figurative language used by the lecturer: metaphor, simile, personification, apostrophe, metonymy, synecdoche, symbol, allegory, paradox, irony, hyperbole, and litotes. Also, each figurative language has a function to convey a particular meaning; comparison, association, and contrast. In addition, the results demonstrate that through the use of figurative language, the lecturer has more alternative ways to expand on the learning subject in the classroom and to enhance students' awareness of stylistics in the form of figurative language.

Abstract

This study aims to examine how the process of growing in grief affects the personality of the main character in “When Marnie Was There” film. This study employed a descriptive interpretive method to get a descriptive exposure in writing from the film. The findings show that “When Marnie Was There” film depicts a child who is experiencing feelings of alienation and disconnection. A variety of emotions, such as grief, are real-life experiences that are portrayed in the dialogue between the characters and in incidental events. This life experience is mirrored in the four stages of the multifaceted grieving process. In conclusion, as the main character passes through the four stages of personal growth and healing—which are represented in the scenes and utterances—and experiences a spectrum of emotions, the main character’s journey demonstrates the complexity and multi-dimensional of grief. “When Marnie Was There” film offers a moving examination of identity, loss, and the role that acceptance and friendship may have in a child’s grieving process.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of the TikTok application on the motivation and academic achievement level of Generation Z students in higher education. The data in this study was collected quantitatively with a survey involving 40 students from various semesters in the English study program at Tidar University. The results showed that using TikTok helped students in some ways and harmed them in others. In favourable terms, 54. Seventeen per cent agreed 'strongly' with the proposition that 'TikTok is a source to access relevant and interesting information easily', recognizing the truth of digital communication and content that appeals to Generation Z. Some respondents had a negative attitude towards TikTok. Some respondents had a negative attitude towards TikTok, stating that TikTok can make students lose focus and contribute to procrastination, which is a hot issue in the modern world, namely the problem of time management in the educational framework. This study proves that using TikTok creates a dilemma between risks and possibilities for Generation Z students in educational settings. Considering the advantages and disadvantages of using TikTok in learning and teaching, students and educators should better understand the subject matter and find ways to use TikTok effectively to complement the learning process and simultaneously prevent negative implications. These guidelines are necessary to bring out the instructional facilities of TikTok and prevent the disruption of the learning process.

Abstract

This study explores the role of appraisal systems within student-teacher interactions in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classrooms, focusing on how these linguistic resources shape the educational experience. Utilizing a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through classroom observations, audio recordings, and semi-structured interviews with EFL teachers and students in Majalengka. The analysis, grounded in Systemic Functional Linguistics, identified key patterns in the use of appraisal language, including expressions of attitude, engagement strategies, and graduation. The findings reveal that positive appraisals significantly enhance student engagement and motivation, while the strategic use of engagement and graduation in feedback helps create an inclusive and supportive learning environment. Teachers' positive attitudes and validation of students' contributions foster a sense of belonging and confidence among learners. Conversely, negative appraisals, though less frequent, can adversely affect student morale and participation. This research highlights the critical role of nuanced and supportive communication in EFL education. It offers practical insights for educators to refine their interactional strategies, emphasizing the importance of positive reinforcement, inclusive engagement, and calibrated feedback. The study underscores the need for further research to explore appraisal systems in diverse educational settings and their long-term impact on student outcomes. By bridging the gap between linguistic theory and educational practice, this study aims to contribute to the enhancement of pedagogical approaches in EFL classrooms.
