Abstract

This study dealt with Digital Performing Arts, henceforth called DPA, a relatively new program affiliated with The Faculty of Language and Arts. Being a part of the faculty, DPA includes English language skills, such as Speaking, Listening, Reading and Writing courses in their curriculum to equip the students with the abilities to communicate in English. It is expected that during the course of their study at DPA, students do not only learn to use English, but also produce qualified, prestigious performing art works in English, probably even their masterpieces to be introduced worldwidely. Bearing this in mind, the present researcher conducted this study which aimed at revealing the opinions of the students about the DPA program. Hence, the research problems can be formulated as follows. Firstly, what are the students views on the concept and goals of DPA program? Secondly, what are the students views on the subjects offered in DPA curriculum? and Lastly, what are the students’ suggestions for the improvement of DPA program? The respondents of this study were 23 active DPA students from 2020 to 2024 batches and 2 alumni. This study was designed to use the quantitative method and the instrument was questionnaire. The results of the questionnaire were analyzed using SPPS 25 and some were calculated on a percentage basis. The research findings indicate that the majority of the students are satisfied with the concept and goals of DPA program even though they suggest that some irrelevant subjects in DPA curriculum need revising.

Abstract

This study explores the song The Messenger by Linkin Park through the lens of Halliday's Language Metafunction theory, aiming to uncover its underlying ideology and emotional messages. Utilizing qualitative and descriptive research methods, the analysis focuses on the song's lyrics, examining their Ideational, Interpersonal, and Textual meanings. The results highlight the prominence of specific language processes, including Mental, Material, and Relational, which collectively convey powerful themes of love, hope, and resilience. The Ideational metafunction reveals how the song portrays love as a vital force in overcoming life's adversities, while the Interpersonal metafunction demonstrates how empathetic and supportive language fosters a connection between the singer and the audience. Additionally, the Textual metafunction underscores the structured and cohesive organization of the lyrics, amplifying their emotional impact. The study concludes that The Messenger embodies an ideology that positions love as a source of emotional empowerment and solidarity, providing listeners with comfort and motivation during challenging times. This research contributes to understanding how music serves as a cultural and linguistic artifact that facilitates shared emotional experiences and reinforces resilience.

Abstract

The shift to digital education during the COVID-19 pandemic has brought about significant changes in student learning behavior, especially in higher vocational education. This study explores how the El Nino Learning Management System (LMS), developed internally at Politeknik Negeri Semarang (POLINES), has transformed students' learning patterns in language education within the Accounting Department during the post-pandemic period. Utilizing a descriptive qualitative approach, data were collected from 144 students through surveys and from lecturers via interviews and observations. Findings indicate a notable transformation from traditional, instructor-dependent learning to a more autonomous, flexible, and technology-integrated model. LMS El Nino enabled students to manage their own learning schedules, revisit materials independently, and develop digital competencies. Despite certain technical issues and limited interaction with lecturers (reported by 19.6% of respondents), students generally perceived the LMS as effective in supporting their language learning goals. The majority found the platform accessible (59.4%), motivating (53.1%), and easy to use (86.9%). Moreover, 75.5% of respondents would recommend LMS El Nino to peers, highlighting its perceived value. The study concludes that LMS El Nino plays a strategic role not only as a digital substitute for in-person learning but also as a catalyst for long-term educational transformation in vocational settings. Continued improvements in interactivity, infrastructure, and digital literacy training are recommended to optimize its effectiveness in supporting language learning outcomes. Keywords: LMS El Nino, learning patterns, language education, digital transformation, post-pandemic

Abstract

At the time, when the world is going through the period of accelerated technological development, the instructional effectiveness of teachers is very important to satisfy the requirements of the modern education, especially in the context of the linguistic and culturally diverse environment. Digital informal learning and Artificial Intelligence (AI) have become the disruptive tools to help teachers enhance their teaching activities, in particular, in the under-resourced schools. Although interest in the AI-based education is increasing, few studies have examined the combination of AI tools and digital informal learning to enhance the overall effectiveness of instruction among teachers in the Islamic secondary schools of Southern Pakistan. This quantitative research question is how AI tools can enhance English language proficiency, how digital informal learning can enhance cultural awareness, and how the two can enhance the instructional effectiveness of teachers. The survey of 450 Islamic secondary school teachers was conducted with the use of a purposive sample and the survey was carried out with the help of a structured questionnaire using SPSS (2021) with descriptive statistics and independent sample t -tests. The results indicate that AI solutions can significantly improve English language proficiency that is important in effective teaching, whereas digital informal learning helps to develop cultural awareness, allowing educators to work with different learners. These tools are combined, and they have a positive influence on the effectiveness of instruction, increasing the quality of lesson delivery, student behaviour, and classroom management. The research provides the education policy recommendation to incorporate AI and digital tools in teacher training programs, which provides an insight to policymakers and education leaders and developers of EdTech to empower teachers in linguistically and culturally diverse areas.
