Abstract

This paper examines Toni Morrison’s narrative strategies in her novel Sula, focusing on how she reconstructs and transmits the complex history of Black people to younger generations. Morrison’s literary works serve as a vehicle for preserving the legacy of Black history, often obscured or distorted. Employing both objective and expressive methodologies, this study analyzes the novel alongside relevant critical sources that explore Morrison’s narrative techniques and thematic intentions. The findings reveal that Morrison consistently employs distinctive narrative strategies in Sula, including a non-linear plot structure that juxtaposes past, present, and future; character development rooted in fragments of memory and historical detail; and the deliberate use of historical, geographical, and cultural settings. Moreover, Morrison integrates the Black community not only as a backdrop but as a vital thematic element and a collective character within the novel. This study underscores Morrison’s commitment to centering Black experiences and histories through innovative narrative forms.

Abstract

Live sports commentary plays a crucial role in enhancing the audience’s experience by covering sporting events' excitement, atmosphere, and emotional intensity. Commentators use various linguistic devices, including figurative language, specialized lexicons, jargon, and registers, to create vivid and engaging narratives. This study investigates the types of figurative language commonly used in live karate commentary. Using a qualitative approach, the study analyzed 10 transcripts of live commentaries from the Tokyo Karate1-Premier League 2019 event. The data were categorized based on different types of figurative language identified in the commentary. The finding revealed that commentators utilized nine figurative language types: metaphor (27.4%), hyperbole (21.7%), personification (20.8%), synecdoche (6.6%), irony (6.6%), paradox (5.7%), understatement (5.7%), simile (3.8%), and metonymy (1.9%). In total, 106 data were obtained from various figurative language used by the commentators. These linguistic elements enriched the commentary by adding depth, excitement, and expressiveness to the descriptions of karate matches. Figurative language helped emphasize techniques, strategies, and dramatic moments, making the commentary more engaging for the audience. This research contributes to a deeper comprehension of the literary devices that shape sports narratives by elaborating on the various figurative language used in karate live commentary.

Abstract

With a focus on SMA Negeri 16 Gowa and SMP Negeri 1 Parigi Gowa, this study investigates how digital literacy aids in pedagogical transformation in rural schools. In order to support pedagogical transformation in rural schools, the main goals were to investigate the digital literacy of teachers, the efficacy of training programs, the difficulties in implementing digital learning, and potential models and solutions. A purposive sample of twelve teachers was used in a qualitative case study design. Semi-structured interviews, document reviews, and classroom observations were used to gather data. Teachers' abilities, experiences, and reflections were recorded by the instruments, and thematic analysis was used to examine the data. The results showed that although teachers have rudimentary to intermediate digital skills, they still hardly ever use sophisticated tools for interactive instruction. Because programs were frequently short-term and not adapted to local needs, existing training increased awareness but did not result in meaningful changes. Teachers also mentioned issues like inadequate devices, poor internet access, inadequate infrastructure, and low student engagement. The results of document analysis and interviews suggested that context-sensitive, mentoring-based training models would work better than one-time workshops. Teachers also offered doable fixes, such as bettering the infrastructure, collaborating with the community, and focusing professional development more locally. By emphasizing the significance of contextualizing digital literacy in rural education, this study makes a theoretical contribution. In a practical sense, it provides direction for educators and legislators in creating efficient support and training programs. It demonstrates how improved digital proficiency can support more engaging and globally relevant English language instruction in rural Indonesian classrooms.

Abstract

This study examines the impact of alcoholism on the characters in Stephen Crane’s Maggie: A Little Girl of the Streets, set in the slums of 19th-century New York City. The novel portrays the struggles of its characters against poverty, violence, and alcoholism, highlighting the harsh realities of urban life. Utilizing a qualitative descriptive method and an objective approach, this analysis focuses on the intrinsic elements of the novel, exploring how alcoholism influences the behaviour, relationships, and fates of characters such as Maggie, Jimmie, Mrs. Johnson, and Pete. Through detailed character analysis and examination of direct quotes from the text, the study reveals the profound effects of alcoholism on the characters' lives. Maggie, once depicted as innocent and hopeful, falls victim to exploitation and despair due to her family's alcoholism and societal pressures. Jimmie, shaped by a violent environment, transforms into a harsh and callous individual. Mrs. Johnson’s alcohol dependency leads to instability and violence within the family, while Pete, initially perceived as a potential saviour for Maggie, reveals himself as exploitative and opportunistic, contributing to her downfall. The study concludes that alcoholism acts as a catalyst for the characters' tragic fates, emphasizing the devastating consequences of their struggles against the backdrop of societal challenges. This analysis contributes to a deeper understanding of how societal and familial influences, particularly alcoholism, shape character development and lead to inevitable tragedy in Crane’s novel.

Abstract

This study explores the English communication needs of hotel receptionists in supporting the implementation of green tourism practices. Using a qualitative research approach, data were collected through interviews, observations, and document analysis in three eco-certified hotels. The findings reveal that English communication is crucial not only for routine guest interactions but also for promoting environmental awareness and encouraging sustainable behavior among international visitors. Receptionists perform various communicative tasks, including explaining eco-friendly programs, persuading guest participation, and clarifying sustainability policies. However, they face challenges such as limited environmental vocabulary, cross-cultural communication barriers, and insufficient institutional training. Despite these limitations, receptionists employ adaptive strategies such as language simplification, visual aids, and contextualization to convey sustainability messages effectively. The study highlights the need for specialized English for Specific Purposes (ESP) programs that integrate environmental and intercultural communication skills. It concludes that empowering hotel receptionists with targeted language training enhances not only service quality but also the hotel’s capacity to promote sustainable tourism values. Thus, effective English communication serves as both a linguistic tool and a strategic means of fostering green tourism in the hospitality industry.
