Despite extensive research on Mark Twain's works, few studies have examined his portrayal of gender roles in "Diaries of Adam and Eve" through a feminist lens. This study aims to fill this gap by analyzing Twain's representation of Eve and Adam, exploring how his writing both reflects and challenges societal beliefs centered around male power and control. The research employs a qualitative methodology, utilizing feminist and gender theory to conduct a close textual analysis of "Diaries of Adam and Eve." The study focuses on language, tone, and themes used in Twain's portrayal of the two characters, contextualizing these elements within the historical and social framework of women's rights in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Findings reveal a nuanced depiction of gender roles that both conform to and subvert traditional expectations. Eve is portrayed as intelligent, curious, and capable, challenging conventional female stereotypes and reflecting an emerging understanding of women's rights and equality. In contrast, Adam's characterization aligns more closely with traditional notions of male authority and power. The study demonstrates a clash between traditional views on gender roles and modern perspectives on women's rights within Twain's work. It highlights Twain's critical examination of gender issues and his implicit support for women's equality, contributing to our understanding of his progressive stance on gender roles. This research provides valuable insights into Twain's subtle commentary on societal norms and his contribution to early feminist discourse through literature.

Communication is a cornerstone of human interaction, yet adolescents with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) often face significant challenges in pragmatic language use, including speech acts. These challenges hinder their ability to express thoughts, fulfil requests, and engage socially, thus affecting their overall quality of life. This study investigates the types of speech acts employed by adolescents with ASD, focusing on their use of directives, expressives, assertives, and commissive as categorized by Searle and analyzes the functional purpose of these acts based on Leech’s framework. Using an observational methodology, data were collected from verbal interactions in structured and naturalistic settings, capturing authentic communicative behaviors. The findings revealed a dominance of directive speech acts, followed by expressive, assertive, and commissive acts. This pattern reflects the participants’ emphasis on requesting actions and expressing immediate needs, which aligns with their developmental priorities in communication. Despite these strengths, limitations in more complex and varied speech acts were noted, suggesting gaps in pragmatic competence. The study underscores the importance of targeted interventions to enhance the communicative competence of adolescents with ASD. By focusing on the functional and situational use of speech acts, therapists and educators can develop modules that not only build pragmatic skills but also foster social integration and personal autonomy. This research contributes to the growing body of literature on ASD and pragmatic language development, offering practical implications for therapy, education, and parental support.

Listening comprehension is a fundamental skill in learning a foreign language, as it facilitates meaningful interaction and language acquisition. Despite its importance, many learners of English as a foreign language (EFL) struggle with understanding spoken English due to various linguistic, technical, and motivational challenges. While previous studies have highlighted some of these difficulties, few have explored how students themselves identify and address them within formal listening instruction contexts. To fill this gap, this study aims to investigate the types of listening difficulties encountered by university-level English education students and the strategies they employ to overcome them. Using a qualitative case study approach, data were collected from reflection questionnaires and semi-structured interviews, with 15 final-year students who had completed listening courses as the participants. Thematic analysis revealed three major categories of challenges: comprehension difficulties such as unfamiliar vocabulary and fast speech, technical barriers such as unstable internet connections and unclear audio, and motivational issues including boredom and anxiety. In response, students adopted strategies such as repeated listening, the use of subtitles or transcripts, and the selection of content based on personal interest. These findings suggest the need for curriculum designers and educators to integrate more learner-centered and strategy-focused approaches in teaching listening. Diversify listening materials, integrate strategy training, and create low-anxiety environments to support learners may significantly enhance learners' listening comprehension.

In the 21st century, digital technology is becoming increasingly important in everyday life. Likewise, in the learning process in primary schools, technology has become an essential tool to support and improve the quality of education. However, the use of digital technology in education has not shown consistently good effectiveness, especially in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classrooms. This study aims to assess the effectiveness and identify the challenges and barriers of using technology in EFL learning in primary schools. The research method used is a mixed method with a sequential explanatory strategy. The results showed that 55% of digital technology use was considered effective, and 50% of teachers reported using digital technology several times a week. The most commonly used tools included laptops, projectors, and internet access, though usage patterns varied. Challenges frequently faced by teachers include limited access to devices, unstable internet connections, insufficient training, and lack of technical support. Despite these issues, many teachers demonstrated initiative and creativity in utilizing available resources, though their strategies often lacked structured pedagogical alignment. The findings highlight the importance of professional development focused on the Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) framework, which supports teachers in integrating technology meaningfully within EFL instruction. While the overall use of digital technology in primary school learning has reached a moderately effective level, targeted support is needed to help educators align digital tools with language learning goals, especially in under-resourced settings. Addressing these gaps will enable more impactful and inclusive integration of digital technology in EFL education.

The limited learning resources used by teachers in the classroom and the inability of teachers to use technology as a learning tool are the main causes of students' disinterest in learning. To increase the interest of fourth grade elementary school students in Civics, this research aims to create interactive learning materials based on the Artiqulate Storyline thematic map. The five steps of the ADDIE development model of analysis, design, development, implementation and evaluation form the basis of this research methodology. A total of 15 students, media experts, and material experts are the subjects in this study. Three data collection methods were used: questionnaires, interviews, and observations. Descriptive and categorical data analysis was used to determine the feasibility of the media created. With the findings from the material expert testing of 92% which is classified as very good, and from the media expert of 94% which can also be classified as very good, the research results obtained by Artiqulate Storyline-based interactive media can be declared feasible. Meanwhile, the statement is considered valid based on the findings of the student questionnaire response sheet, which shows that the average validity result of r count for the validation level of the student learning interest questionnaire is 0.598. With a reliability value of 0.925, it falls into the excellent category as well. Based on the results of the trial, this interactive media with Artiqulate Storyline is suitable for use by teachers to support the delivery of material and encourage student enthusiasm.

This study examines junior high school students’ perceptions of the use of multimodal resources in their listening learning experiences, specifically focusing on the integration of video, images, and text. Although, research on multimodal listening is growing, studies focusing on junior high school students’ perceptions of listening activities are limited. This study employs a qualitative case study design involving open-ended questionnaires in the form of students’ reflections, semi-structured interviews, and classroom observations to gather insight into junior high school students’ perceptions and challenges related to multimodal materials in listening instruction. The findings revealed that students had positive views on the use of multimodal resources and the integration of several elements, such as audio, images, and text, can improve their comprehension and engagement in class. On the other hand, challenges such as fast speech speed, unfamiliar vocabulary, and external distractions can hinder their listening comprehension process. To improve teaching, educators should effectively integrate multimodal resources, considering speech speed and the learning environment. In addition, considering students’ perceptions and challenges can help to incorporate multimodal resources more effectively in junior high school environments.

This study examines the editorial text "Corruption, not a Priority?" from the Jakarta Post on March 17, 2015. This research aims to identify appraisal system devices in the text and to determine the reader's location within the text. Martin and White's (2005) Appraisal Theory was used to assess the text. The data were analyzed using a descriptive qualitative method, with clauses as the unit of analysis. The results demonstrate that the editorial text has three subsystems: attitude, engagement, and graduation. Appreciation systems account for the majority of attitude systems (31 categories). Monoglosses account for 46% of the components in engagement systems. The graduating systems are dominated by 38 systems of concentration. The writer persuades readers to agree with his or her opinions and worries about the subject. He or she makes unfavorable judgments on the appreciation systems, which are common among attitude systems.

Advertisement is one of the communication tools used to deliver messages, ideas, and advice, and sometimes it offers the product or service in order to make people interested in buying and using it. One of the advertisements is about treatment that is usually used by women and is identical with women, but nowadays men also need some kinds of treatment like that. In this paper, we intend to discuss the men's treatment advertisements on television. Some ways that we can see from these advertisements are the language styles that appear on the advertisement as the form of information utterance and the ways to get the interests of men to try and buy it, so that this advertisement uses special language styles. In this paper, we use the stylistics approach to analyze the television advertisements on men's treatment. The research methods are qualitative and descriptive. First, we search for valid data, then we describe the data based on the theory, and lastly, we analyze the data. The result of the research shows that phonological, lexical, syntactic, semantic, and morphological features occur in men’s treatment advertisements. The semantic features appear more intensely in the advertisements, especially the personification form and the morphological features in the form of affixation. There are some words that exaggerate their meanings. They use these kinds of stylistic features because they want to persuade consumers to buy the products.

This research investigated the potential of song lyrics as pedagogical tools for language and literature education through the lens of Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL). Grounded in the premise that literature, particularly lyrical poetry, offers a rich context for developing vocabulary, grammar, cultural understanding, and communication skills (Griffiths, 2012), this study explores how songs, as a form of literary expression, can be harnessed for language learning. By focusing on the intricate relationship between language, literature, and song, this research aimed to elucidate the meaning-making processes within song lyrics through an SFL framework. Specifically, it examined the mood types, modalities, and interpersonal meanings present in a corpus of popular love songs to understand how these linguistic features construct meaning about love. This research was motivated by a gap in the existing literature regarding the application of SFL to song lyrics in a pedagogical context. Through a detailed analysis of grammatical choices and textual organization, this study sought to provide educators with valuable insights into the pedagogical potential of songs for enhancing language and literature learning. Employing a descriptive qualitative research design, the findings revealed that love songs effectively achieve their communicative goals through interpersonal meanings generated by mood and modality. Declarative mood, for instance, influences the addressee, while modality strengthens the connection between the song's persona and the audience, conveying nuanced meanings and qualifying the message. The study demonstrated how the interpersonal meanings of heartbreak and regret are constructed through the interplay of mood and modality in the lyrics, underscoring the transformative potential of songs in language and literature education. Keywords: Lyrical Poetry; Interpersonal Meaning; Systemic Functional Linguistic.

This study examines the role of storytelling in preserving cultural identity, using Nathaniel Hawthorne’s "Young Goodman Brown" as a case study. It analyses how the narrative reflects and critiques the moral and cultural identity of 17th-century Puritan New England. By exploring the story’s structure, character development, and symbolic elements, the research reveals how Hawthorne conveys complex themes of morality, identity, and societal norms. The story follows the protagonist’s journey through a dark forest, which serves as a metaphor for his internal struggle and disillusionment with Puritan values. This journey uncovers contradictions within the Puritan community, illustrating how rigid cultural identities can lead to personal crises and broader societal reflections. Hawthorne’s exploration of sin, guilt, and hypocrisy highlights the psychological and cultural tensions within Puritanism. By analysing these narrative techniques, the study demonstrates how literature can act as a tool for cultural reflection, influencing societal values and personal identities. The findings suggest that storytelling plays a crucial role in negotiating cultural identity, offering insights into both personal and societal conflicts. This research also opens avenues for future comparative studies on how narratives across different cultures address universal themes of morality, identity, and existential challenges, ensuring a focus on human elements
