Abstract

This study explores the effectiveness of Google Lens in enhancing English vocabulary acquisition through its real-time translation capabilities. As technology increasingly integrates into educational practices, innovative tools like Google Lens offer potential benefits for language learners. This research assesses how real-time translation impacts vocabulary acquisition among English as a Second Language (ESL) learners. A mixed-methods approach was employed, involving quantitative analysis of vocabulary test scores before and after the intervention and qualitative analysis of learner experiences gathered through surveys and interviews. Participants included a diverse group of ESL students who used Google Lens to translate and learn new English words in various contexts over a specified period. The findings indicate that Google Lens significantly improves vocabulary retention and comprehension compared to traditional learning methods. Learners reported increased engagement and confidence in their language skills, attributing this to the immediate and contextual feedback provided by the tool. The study concludes that integrating Google Lens into language learning can be a powerful strategy to enhance vocabulary acquisition. This conclusion has practical implications for educators and learners, equipping them with the knowledge to effectively leverage technology in language education and improve their teaching and learning practices.

Abstract

This study applies critical discourse analysis (CDA) to Alphaville’s iconic song “Forever Young,” exploring how its lyrics have been recontextualized in contemporary social media trends. Recently, the song has gained popularity as a background for posts that honor deceased loved ones, celebrate moments of happiness, and highlight the contrast between youthful and aging appearances. This research aims to delve into the deeper meanings and societal implications embedded within the song’s lyrics, which span themes of youth, aging, and the desire for immortality. The study reveals how the song reflects and reinforces societal ideals about youth while marginalizing other life stages, especially old age, through three levels of analysis—micro-level (focusing on individual words and phrases), meso-level (considering the social context, and the song’s impact), and macro-level (examining broader societal discourses)—. It highlights the song’s exploration of the transience of life and the universal human longing for permanence. These themes resonate strongly with the prevalent social media trends that often celebrate youth and memorialize it in posts and tributes. The findings suggest that “Forever Young” serves as a personal reflection on the passage of time and a commentary on societal views of aging, vitality, and the unyielding pursuit of youth. It uncovers how the song has become a powerful cultural symbol, contributing to the ongoing digital conversation around the valorization of youth and the depreciation of the complexities associated with aging.

Abstract

Advances in information technology have led to significant changes in the teaching and learning process, enabling traditional face-to-face methods to be replaced or supplemented by online meetings. Social media, designed initially for social interaction and entertainment, has increasingly become a tool for sharing educational content, including language learning. While prior studies have demonstrated the potential of social media for academic purposes, there is a gap in research focusing on maritime cadets' use of social media for learning English. This study examines cadets’ perspectives in the Port and Shipping Management department on using social media for English learning. This research employs a descriptive qualitative approach. Data was collected via online surveys. Among the 89 respondents, all were active social media users, and 85 reported using these platforms, primarily Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok, for language learning. The cadets expressed interest in developing speaking, reading, writing, and listening skills. However, the study also identified challenges, including internet connectivity issues and entertainment content distractions. These findings suggest that while social media provides valuable language learning resources, obstacles must be addressed to optimize its effectiveness as an educational tool. English lecturers can combine learning in class by utilizing content provided by existing social media accounts.

Abstract

Film is an effective tool for inserting teachings and propaganda. Films always influence and shape society through the messages they convey. This research is a feminist study of Katara's character and her liberation from gender stereotypes in the film Avatar the Last Airbender Season 1, 2024. This research aims to see how Katara's character challenges the traditional gender norms that have long been established in society, as well as to examine how Katara's character develops in the film to the point of how she breaks free from these gender stereotypes. This research uses a qualitative descriptive approach. The data consists of conversations containing issues of patriarchy and gender stereotypes. The data sources are videos/films and conversation scripts within the film. Data collection was done through observation by repeatedly watching the film and then analysing it. The results show that Katara's character challenges gender norms by applying characteristics such as overcoming fear and embracing self-expression, defying the need for a handsome hero, embracing personal power and autonomy, and empowering brotherhood over romantic love. This is followed by Katara's character development, which eventually frees her from gender stereotypes, gains recognition from society, and creates equality for herself and future generations

Abstract

Learners in today's modern age are highly technologically savvy. It is no surprise that some forms of IT-based instruction are used in language courses to make classes more entertaining and participatory for students. Teachers can involve their students in the learning process by providing a vibrant and engaging classroom environment using technology. This research aims to investigate the level of digital fluency of an Indonesian EFL teacher who uses IT-based language instruction to teach speaking, as well as how the Indonesian EFL teacher integrates digital tools and technology in their language instruction to teach speaking skills. These goals are achieved by observing an EFL teacher and 37 EFL students during three sessions of the teaching and learning process using a qualitative methodology. The results show that IT-based instruction is delivered through a variety of applications and websites, demonstrating the high level of digital literacy of the EFL teacher. It also reveals that the learning process is now inextricably linked to the internet as a learning resource and instrument, and that technological advancements benefit both students and teachers. Therefore, it is challenging to separate the roles of teachers and technology in constructing the current educational paradigm due to their influence on its progress.

Abstract

This research investigates the Javanese dialect used in Wonogiri Regency and compares it with standardized Javanese. The analysis focuses on dialect characteristics, vocabulary distribution, and phonological and morphological features. The data were collected from native Javanese speakers in eight districts: Manyaran, Selogiri, Wonogiri, Ngadirojo, Sidoharjo, Jatisrono, Slogohimo, and Purwantoro. Data collection was carried out using questionnaires and interviews. The data were analyzed through a distributional method using contrasting techniques and further interpreted using a qualitative descriptive approach. The findings revealed several lexical and phonological variations from standard Javanese, such as noto, ndhodo, nendhang, ngajul, luwe, wuto, iso, enjoh, karo, ambek, and lan. Based on dialectometric calculations, the Javanese spoken in Wonogiri is not classified as a distinct dialect but rather as a speech variation (28.81%).

Abstract

This article examines the phenomenon of Kemaliq as a medium for maintaining language and culture. This research uses qualitative methods in data collection and analysis. The data collection techniques used observation, interview, and documentation. The results of this study indicate that Kemaliq is the language and culture of the Sasak community. First, Kemaliq can be used for various cultural activities, such as Nede, the ritual for asking for rain during the rice planting season. The local community will bring Dulang during the ritual. The Dulang serves as an iconic sign, representing gratitude and communal unity. Kemaliq can be used as a medium of education for the community regarding Kemaliq’s history and also as a place to learn Sasak literature. For example, at Kemaliq, there is a reading of Sasak literature that uses the Sasak Halus language, also called Linggih Kerame. The Linggih Kerame language is very rarely used in daily communication and is only used in certain activities and is only understood by a small part of the community. They can facilitate people who want to learn the Sasak Halus language, ensuring that traditional languages are not lost or forgotten amid language development in the modern era. This study demonstrates that the interaction of iconic codes within Kemaliq strengthens intergenerational cultural continuity and reinforces the collective identity of the Sasak community. The efforts made by the people of Ganti village to maintain the existence of their culture include forming an organization engaged in the preservation.
