Abstract

Previous surveys on college academic reading often utilized questionnaires and lacked in-depth analysis to assess students' reading skills. This present study involving 80 students of Universitas Pahlawan assessed students’ academic reading skills using Correlation Test, Manova Test, and Duncan Test. In addition to examine the importance of these skills, this study also identified the need to have adequate academic reading skills. The gap between the pre-test and post-test signified the significant effects on reading skill, analysis and evaluation, reading strategies and efficiency, and influential factors. However, comprehension skills, linguistic discourse, and knowledge did not have a significant effect. Furthermore, this study also discusses the implications for researchers and for the practices of the course.

Abstract

Language style can be seen in particular language forms, such as variation, style of language, or dialect, and its application in society. Researchers are interested in researching language style because each individual has their style of speech. When Taylor Swift spoke, she did not read the script but spoke spontaneously. Therefore, this study's purpose is to analyze the type of language style and the dominant language style used by Taylor Swift in her speech at New York University on the day of her doctoral graduation. This study uses descriptive qualitative research methods. The data obtained came from the official New York University YouTube channel as the primary source and speech transcripts from the official billboard music web page. In this study, researchers used the leading theory, namely Martin Joos (1967). Therefore, it can be concluded that the casual style is the most common because it tends to lead to the life story of Taylor Swift so that the language used tends to be relaxed, which is presented in an easy-to-understand language such as daily English.

Abstract

This research describes the use of Wordtune as an AI-Powered writing tool for rewriting or rephrasing English writing. This research uses descriptive qualitative research. The analysis shows that Wordtune can be accessed at www.wordtune.com. If we do not have an account, we can register by using Google, Apple, Facebook, and Email, then we can log in. We answer questions related to writing needs and choose our profession and native language. In an initial trial, we can use Wordtune in a free version. We can input the sample sentences or text in the column available. Several alternative writing options including Rewrite, Casual, Formal, Shorten, and Expand” will be generated, then we choose one of them. Wordtune gives us several options to adjust to our writing style including casual, formal, short, or expand. Rewrite is exploring new ways to rephrase our sentences. Casual is conveying a lighter and less serious tone for the right audience. Formal is presenting sentences in a more sophisticated and professional way. Shortening is sticking to word limits and conveying messages clearly and concisely. Expanding is expanding our sentences to give more detail, nuance, and depth. We as educators need to teach students how to use this AI text writer wisely and responsibly. Students can use it to help improve the clarity and style of their writing. However, every writing produced by AI certainly needs to be checked for accuracy because AI tools may produce results that are inconsistent with readability and meaning.
