Abstract

This study explores Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) as portrayed in the character of Momma, the main character in Never Let Go (2024), and her use of defense mechanisms to cope with her past trauma. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, through Bessel Van Der Kolk's trauma theory and Sigmund Freud's concept of defense mechanisms, this study reveals Momma's extreme measures in isolating her children and enforcing strict rules by avoiding “The Devil” as a result of her grief and fear of loss. Data was collected from scenes, dialogues, and visual components, focusing on Momma's overprotective behavior towards her children. The researcher found several components of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder symptoms, namely intrusive memories, avoidance, emotional numbness, and hyperarousal. At the same time, three characteristics of defense mechanisms are reflected in Momma, namely projection, denial, and displacement. This research shows the relevance of trauma shaping patterns of behavior, especially in a mother, as well as the relationship between psychological trauma, especially the body's response to traumatic experiences, the maternal relationship, and excessive parenting behavior.

Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the Duolingo application in enhancing students' English vocabulary mastery through a pre-experimental design. A total of 26 participants engaged in a two-week intervention using Duolingo to improve their vocabulary skills. The results of the pre-test and post-test assessments demonstrated a significant improvement in vocabulary mastery, with the mean score increasing from 63.42 to 85.08. The standard deviation decreased from 14.711 to 9.169, indicating greater consistency in student performance following the intervention. The paired samples correlation of 0.693 with a significance value of 0.000 indicated a strong positive relationship between the pre-test and post-test scores, supporting the effectiveness of the intervention. Further analysis using a paired samples t-test revealed a mean difference of -21.654 with a t-value of -10.363 (p 0.001), confirming that the intervention had a significant impact on vocabulary acquisition. The effect size calculation (Cohen's d = -2.032) indicated a large effect size, demonstrating the substantial impact of Duolingo on students’ vocabulary development. The study concludes that Duolingo can serve as an effective supplementary tool for vocabulary acquisition in English language learning. Future research is encouraged to explore the long-term effects of the application, its influence on other language skills, and its potential integration into formal educational contexts.

Abstract

The development of social skills in junior high school students is a vital component in fostering social-emotional competence, supporting academic achievement, and promoting long-term social adjustment. In light of the growing prevalence of social issues such as bullying, social anxiety, and limited healthy interactions within school environments, group guidance services must adopt more innovative, adaptive, and contextually relevant approaches. This urgency highlights the need for a systematic review of effective group guidance strategies aimed at enhancing students' social skills. This study aims to identify and evaluate innovative strategies in group guidance services through a Systematic Literature Review (SLR). The review analyzes peer-reviewed articles published between 2018 and 2024, sourced from reputable academic databases including Scopus, ERIC, and Web of Science. A thematic analysis approach is used to examine the effectiveness of various strategies, key components of service delivery, implementation contexts across countries, and their impacts on different dimensions of social skills. The findings reveal that strategies based on experiential learning, role-playing, interactive media, and collaborative activities significantly contribute to improving students' communication, empathy, cooperation, and conflict resolution abilities. Furthermore, the results highlight the critical role of group structure, facilitator competence, and the integration of relevant theoretical frameworks in designing effective group guidance programs.

Abstract

This study explores the pragmatic phenomena of presupposition and entailment in Molly Wright’s TED Talk, “How Every Child Can Thrive by Five.” Despite her young age, Wright employs advanced pragmatic strategies typically found in adult discourse. Using a qualitative case study approach, the speech was transcribed and analyzed with reference to frameworks by Stephen Levinson and Louise Cummings. The analysis identifies various types of presupposition existential, factive, lexical, structural, counterfactual, and non-factiv ussed to create shared assumptions and enhance message clarity. Entailment is employed to build logical connections and subtly guide audience interpretation. These devices contribute to the speech’s persuasive appeal, emotional resonance, and communicative effectiveness. Rather than directly instructing, Wright fosters reflection by embedding assumptions and cause-effect structures that reduce cognitive load and promote engagement. The findings underscore the strategic use of implicit meaning in persuasive discourse, illustrating that effective communication depends not on age but on the intentional use of language. This research highlights children's potential in formal speech settings and the power of pragmatics in shaping public understanding.

Abstract

The childhood phase is a critical stage for early literacy development, particularly in fostering beginning writing skills. This study aims to determine the effect of Internet of Things (IoT)-based kinetic sand media on the early writing skills of children aged 4–5 years at Annur Bastari Pekanbaru Islamic Kindergarten. The media used is a transparent container filled with kinetic sand, equipped with a pressure sensor and a small speaker. When a child writes letters in the sand, the sensor responds to hand movements and provides automatic feedback in the form of lights and sounds corresponding to the letters touched, creating an engaging and enjoyable learning environment. A quantitative approach with an experimental method was employed using a One Group Pretest-Posttest Design, in which one group of 21 children in Group A received a pretest, treatment, and posttest. Data were analyzed using a t-test and normalized gain to measure the effectiveness of the media in improving early writing skills. The results showed a significant improvement, with the average achievement increasing from 33.13% in the pretest to 81.56% in the posttest. The t-test results indicated a significance value of 0.000 0.05 and a t-count of 18.166 t-table value of 2.086, confirming a significant influence. Prior to treatment, most children were in the Early Developing and Not Yet Developing categories. After using the IoT-based kinetic sand media, their skills improved drastically, with most reaching the Very Well Developing and Developing as Expected categories. This media effectively stimulates early writing skills in a fun and interactive manner, aligning with the technological advancements in early childhood education.

Abstract

The depiction of female liberation in mainstream media has emerged as a critical focus within feminist discourse. This article examines how Sabrina Carpenter's music video "Feather" represents women's defiance against patriarchal oppression through radical feminist theory and Roland Barthes' semiotic analysis. The study employs a qualitative descriptive method to analyze particular visual scenes and symbols, including religious imagery (church altars, coffins, and crosses), outfit selections (black bridal dress, pink sporty outfit), gestures, facial expressions, and narrative irony (e.g., scenes of male catcallers being hit by a truck), in order explain themes of female autonomy. The signs are examined through the lenses of denotation, connotation, and myth. The findings indicate that “Feather” converts patriarchal religious and cultural symbols into instruments of emancipation and critiques societal conventions related to gender, authority, and female visibility in public spaces. This research highlights that pop media, when critically analyzed, can function as a platform for feminist resistance and ideological transformation.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of academic service management on student satisfaction levels in higher education. Using a qualitative approach through in-depth interviews, observation, and document analysis, the study revealed that the quality of academic services is a key factor in shaping students' learning experiences. The results indicate that the implementation of digitalized services based on an integrated information system increases efficiency and transparency, in accordance with the principles of the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). Furthermore, the proactive role of academic advisors in academic guidance and consistent communication through official channels also contribute to increased student satisfaction. Other findings identify the importance of continuous evaluation and improvement (Continuous Quality Improvement/CQI) based on student feedback, such as the development of a helpdesk and staff training. This study concludes that higher education institutions need to strengthen academic services through technology-based approaches, increased academic advisor capacity, and integrated communication systems. The practical implication is the need for policies oriented toward student-centered service to improve the quality of education holistically.
