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.

Abstract

Directed by David Fincher, Fight Club (1999) presents a complex and provocative critique of consumer culture, masculinity, and resistance within a postmodern capitalist society. This study examines how the film constructs and destabilizes male identity by employing an integrated framework of Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) and Multimodal Discourse Analysis (MDA). Using Fairclough’s three-dimensional model and Kress and van Leeuwen’s multimodal theory, the analysis focuses on how ideological meanings are produced through the interaction of linguistic discourse and cinematic techniques. The findings reveal that consumerism reduces identity to a market-driven commodity, while masculinity is represented as fragmented, unstable, and continuously negotiated through discourse and visual symbolism. Acts of resistance, particularly those embodied by Fight Club and Project Mayhem, are shown to function as contradictory forms of liberation that ultimately reproduce new structures of control. By analyzing dialogue, narration, visual imagery, sound design, and mise-en-scène, this study demonstrates that masculinity in Fight Club operates not merely as a narrative theme but as a discursive formation shaped by power relations across multiple semiotic modes. This research contributes methodologically to film discourse studies by highlighting the analytical value of integrating CDA and MDA in examining ideology, identity, and resistance in contemporary media texts. Keywords: Fight Club, Masculinity, Materialism, Resistance, Critical Discourse Analysis, Multimodal Discourse Analysis

Abstract

This article explores the representation of disability, identity, and personal agency through the character Hazel Grace Lancaster in the film The Fault in Our Stars (2014). Using the frameworks of Disability Studies, Narrative Prosthesis, and Jungian analytical psychology, the study analyzes how Hazel constructs her identity beyond her illness and how the film challenges traditional portrayals of disability. The findings reveal that Hazel negotiates her self-definition within both the medical and social models of disability, shifting from dependence to self-determination. Through her choices, relationships, and humor, she reclaims agency and resists being confined by her illness. This study concludes that The Fault in Our Stars redefines disability representation in young adult cinema, depicting disabled individuals as complex, autonomous, and emotionally capable.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the types of errors and the factors causing errors in Japanese sentence writing (sakubun) produced by Class 25A students of the D3 Japanese Language Study Program at Universitas 17 Agustus 1945 Semarang. The study used a descriptive qualitative method. The research data were obtained from students’ handwritten sakubun assignments on the theme of family and supported by questionnaire responses from 24 students. Data analysis was conducted using language error analysis procedures proposed by Corder and Tarigan, which include data collection, error identification, error classification, error explanation, and error evaluation. Questionnaires were used to identify the factors underlying the writing errors. The results show that three main types of errors were found in students’ sakubun writing: vocabulary writing errors, sentence pattern usage errors, and particle usage errors. The most dominant errors occurred in sentence patterns and particle usage, indicating that students still experience difficulties in mastering basic Japanese grammatical structures. Vocabulary errors were mainly caused by inaccuracies in hiragana writing, while sentence pattern errors were related to inconsistent speech levels and limited understanding of grammatical constructions. Particle usage errors reflect students’ insufficient mastery of particle functions in sentence construction. Furthermore, the questionnaire results indicate that these errors are influenced by limited kanji proficiency, restricted vocabulary, interference from Indonesian, insufficient writing practice, and a lack of detailed instructor feedback. Overall, the findings suggest that both linguistic and pedagogical factors play important roles in students’ sakubun writing performance.

Abstract

This study examines the use of intrinsic elements and narrative structure in the visual novel Fate/Grand Order, Chapter Fuyuki. Using the Freytag Pyramid framework and intrinsic element theory, this descriptive qualitative study aims to understand how classical dramatic structure is implemented in an interactive digital format. Data was collected through direct gameplay observation and verified using archival transcripts from GameFAQs as a supporting primary data source. The results indicate that Chapter Fuyuki consistently applies Freytag's five dramatic stages: exposition, escalation, climax, decay, and resolution. An analysis of intrinsic elements identified five key elements that contribute to narrative structure: plot, characters, setting, conflict, and theme. This visual novel features meaningful character development, symbolic background contrasts, layered conflict, and universal themes such as betrayal, responsibility, sacrifice, and hope. From a literacy perspective, Chapter Fuyuki presents a multimodal environment that strengthens narrative literacy, cultural literacy, critical thinking, and participatory literacy through player interactivity. These findings suggest that visual novels can achieve a level of literary complexity comparable to traditional texts while offering new and relevant forms of narrative engagement in the digital age.
