Abstract

This study investigates the use of emotional speech acts in Colleen Hoover's It Ends with Us, focusing on how characters navigate relational conflicts using expressive and commissive speech acts. Using a pragmatic framework based on Searle's speech act theory and Baxter and Montgomery's Relational Dialectics Theory, the research examines chapters 23-35 of the novel, which are rich in emotional and relational dialogue. A qualitative method of dialogue transcription and coding reveals 144 speech acts, with expressive acts accounting for 76% and reflecting emotions such as guilt, love, and regret. Commissive acts, which account for 24%, emphasize promises and commitments that influence relational dynamics. The findings emphasize the significance of language in expressing emotions and resolving interpersonal conflicts. Expressive acts frequently reveal characters' vulnerabilities, whereas commissive acts emphasize their intentions to mend relationships or make future commitments. This interaction demonstrates the complexities of emotional communication, particularly in the context of trauma and recovery. This study adds to pragmatic research by demonstrating how emotional speech acts shape interpersonal dynamics in literary texts, revealing how language mirrors real-life emotional communication. By focusing on It Ends with Us, this study bridges the gap between literary analysis and linguistic pragmatics, providing a more nuanced understanding of how emotional and relational tensions are managed through language. The findings emphasize language's transformative power in navigating love, betrayal, and resilience, which is consistent with broader discussions about emotional communication in various contexts.

Abstract

Using digital tools such as Google Forms and Microsoft Forms has transformed the landscape of English language assessment, offering features like instant feedback, multimedia integration, and automated grading. However, despite their widespread adoption, limited research has systematically compared their effectiveness across critical dimensions, including usability, engagement, and feedback quality, as well as their suitability for assessing specific language skills—reading, writing, listening, and speaking. This study aimed to fill this gap by evaluating the strengths and limitations of these platforms through a mixed-methods approach. Quantitative data were collected from surveys involving 100 students and 15 educators, while qualitative insights were derived from semi-structured interviews and thematic analysis. Statistical analyses were used to assess platform-specific performance, including paired t-tests and ANOVA. The results revealed significant differences in skill-specific effectiveness: Google Forms was better suited for reading assessments (p = 0.014) due to its simplicity and ease of use, while Microsoft Forms excelled in writing (p = 0.001) and speaking (p = 0.047) tasks, owing to its advanced features like branching logic and multimedia capabilities. Both platforms were equally effective for listening assessments, reflecting their shared strengths in multimedia support. Regarding usability, Google Forms was favoured for its mobile-friendly design, whereas Microsoft Forms offered superior customization but presented a steeper learning curve. Engagement levels were comparable, with multimedia integration and instant feedback highlighted as key motivators. Feedback quality was effective on both platforms but required further refinement for open-ended tasks. This study concluded that educators should align platform selection with the specific assessment objectives, using Google Forms for receptive skills like reading and listening and Microsoft Forms for productive tasks like writing and speaking. These findings provide practical recommendations for leveraging digital tools to enhance language assessment practices.

Abstract

This research is a descriptive qualitative study using a content analysis approach. The problems addressed in this research are: 1. What biased judgments and attitudes are portrayed by male characters in the films Captain Marvel, Black Widow, and Black Panther 2? 2. What are the attitudes and feelings of the female superheroes in these films? This study aims to obtain factual information regarding the biased judgments and attitudes portrayed by male characters in the three films and to explore the attitudes and feelings of the female superheroes in these films. The research method used is content analysis. The results of the study indicate that female superheroes still experience biased judgments and male-dominated attitudes over women. The findings reveal that there are still male characters who believe in the ability of female characters to become leaders and to face enemy attacks with physical strength.

Abstract

Myriads of previous endeavours on constructing English language learning identity have been directed worldwide. The study predominantly focuses on constructing teacher identity in English language learning in general. It does not explicitly discuss the massive development of the English language (Global English). Therefore, to fill the lacuna, the current study will focus on five International Islamic boarding school teachers, concerning the globalization of English. The current study will be an engaging narrative to explore and investigate, considering that the recruitment of five international Islamic boarding school teachers in Malang will pose a dilemma and provide a true reflection of the ongoing global debate regarding the globalization of English (GE). In-depth interviews and observations were administered to collect the data. The data would then be analysed under Braun's & Clarke's thematic analysis (2006). The data were then identified to produce a data transcript. After transcribing the data, the researcher frequently read the transcript to highlight the interview data and create the identifying themes. Finally, the researchers concluded the interview data. Moreover, the study generated three analysis themes (orientation, adjustment, and identity construction). In the orientation, the subjects believed that the teacher should tolerate the students' errors in practising the language to avoid deterring students from studying the language. Moreover, after experiencing the development of English, Nana, Hana, Miya, Layla, and Mila (pseudonyms) suggested that they would still accentuate the teaching of Standard English, with a high tolerance to retain students’ high motivation. Finally, in the theme of identity construction, they believed that the students should skew their preferences towards standard English to sound more sophisticated in a formal context

Abstract

The objective of this study is to ascertain the impact of implementing PjBL on the English learning outcomes of students at MAN 1 Dompu in the 2024 academic year. The present research employed a pre-experimental method with a one-group pre-test–post-test design using a quantitative approach. The population under study comprised all 216 eleventh-grade students. The sample population for this study comprised 25 students from class XI Science 2, which was designated as the experimental class. Sixteen students participated in the pre-test and seventeen in the post-test. The purposive sampling technique was utilized in this study. The data were collected through the administration of pre-tests and post-tests and subsequently analysed using a normality test. The pre-test results demonstrated an average score of 57, while the post-test average increased to 80, indicating an improvement of 23 points. Subsequent analysis of the post-test data was conducted using a t-test, which yielded a t-count of 1.728. The obtained value of 0.104 was then compared with the threshold of 0.05. In consideration of the findings, a statistically significant discrepancy was identified in the student learning outcomes before and after the implementation of PjBL. In reference to the proposed hypotheses Ha: there is an effect of applying the PjBL model on the learning outcomes of MAN 1 Dompu students, and H?: there is no such effect the findings support the acceptance of Ha. Consequently, it can be concluded that the implementation of PjBL had a positive effect on the English learning outcomes of MAN 1 Dompu students in the 2024 academic year.

Abstract

This study analyzes ambivalence, mimicry, and the third space in the racial identity of Justyce McAllister in the novel Dear Martin using Homi K. Bhabha’s postcolonial theory. The method employed is descriptive qualitative, focusing on how the main character experiences identity tension, adapts to a predominantly white environment, and deconstructs racial stereotypes through the concept of the third space. The findings reveal that Justyce’s racial ambivalence is reflected in 202 dialogue excerpts, which expose the tension between his desire to be accepted by white society and his connection to the Black community. This ambivalence gives rise to identity confusion and awareness of both individual and institutional racism. The analysis of mimicry, found in 188 dialogue excerpts, shows that Justyce adapts to dominant social norms to avoid conflict, but at the cost of his identity and psychological well being. Meanwhile, the analysis of the third space concept in 176 dialogue excerpts indicates that Justyce uses it to deconstruct the racial stereotypes that constrain him. This space helps him negotiate his identity, understand justice, and develop a more critical perspective on social injustice. Thus, this study affirms that Homi K. Bhabha’s theory can be applied to understand the complexity of racial identity in Dear Martin, particularly in relation to ambivalence, mimicry, and the third space as strategies of adaptation and resistance against racial stereotypes.

Abstract

The translation of the word like into Indonesian is the focus of descriptive analytical study. The problem of this research is: What is the translation of the word like in Indonesian and what are the strategies applied in translating the word? The aim of this study is to find out the translation of the word like in Indonesian and the strategies applied in translating the word. The sources of the data in this research were “It Ends with Us” novel by Colleen Hoover and its translation. The data were the words like found in the English version of this novel and the Indonesian translation. This study employed mixed methods, they were quantitative and qualitative with descriptive analytical approach. The result revealed that out of 75 data analyzed, only nine translation strategies were used in the analysis of the data; they were: literal translation (14 data), unit shift (3 data), transposition (16 data), antonymy (1 data), synonymy (11 data), paraphrase (22 data), emphasis (3 data), repetition (4 data), and clause structure change (1 data). The most dominant strategy used in the analysis is paraphrase. Moreover, out of six principles of translation, there were three kinds applied, namely meaning, form, and idiom.

Abstract

This study investigated how language functioned as an instrument of domination in Danielle Steel’s Malice. The research applied a qualitative descriptive method to analyze eighteen utterances containing verbal aggression that represented symbolic power. Using Pierre Bourdieu’s theory of habitus, field, capital, and symbolic power, the study described how linguistic expressions constructed and legitimized social hierarchy within the domestic sphere. The analysis revealed that domination in the novel was expressed through subtle forms of symbolic violence rather than physical aggression. The findings showed three major patterns: first, moral coercion and emotional manipulation disguised as affection; second, legitimate language used by institutional voices to reinforce authority; and third, the internalization of power that produced silence and obedience. Through these findings, language was proven to operate as a social mechanism that transforms coercion into moral duty. The study concluded that symbolic power endures because it is accepted as care, gratitude, and love, revealing that domination persists most effectively when expressed through everyday language.
