Abstract

Academic burnout has become a growing concern in higher education, especially among students engaged in cognitively demanding tasks like thesis writing. This study examines the relationship between academic burnout and the quality of the “Background of the Study” section in undergraduate theses among English Education students at Universitas Islam Negeri Mataram. Using a quantitative correlational design, the research investigates whether burnout—measured in terms of exhaustion and disengagement—affects academic writing performance. A purposive sampling technique was used to select 31 final-year students who met specific inclusion criteria. The Oldenburg Burnout Inventory (OLBI) measured burnout levels, while a rubric-based assessment evaluated writing quality. Due to non-normal data distribution, Spearman’s Rank Correlation was used for analysis. Results revealed a statistically significant negative correlation between exhaustion and writing quality, indicating that higher levels of exhaustion are associated with poorer academic writing. However, disengagement showed no significant relationship with writing quality. These findings suggest that exhaustion plays a more critical role in diminishing students’ cognitive performance during thesis writing. The study contributes to the existing literature on academic burnout and provides practical insights for educators, academic advisors, and institutions. Understanding how exhaustion impairs writing can support the development of targeted interventions, particularly in stress management and academic writing support, within faith-based higher education settings.Keywords: academic burnout, exhaustion, disengagement, thesis writing, writing quality

Abstract

This research explores the needs, challenges, and effects of using both digital and non-digital dictionaries in English language learning. The research design employed a qualitative study with data analysis conducted using Lisabella (2013)’s model. The participants involved 15 students as informants from several different universities in North Sulawesi. These participants were the sample who registered in the English Education Department / Study Program and English Literature Program. The research instruments used were observation and semi-structured interviews to collect data on students’ perceptions related to the issue. Data analysis was carried out by identifying students’ responses. Findings reveal that while both formats support vocabulary development and language comprehension, digital dictionaries are preferred for their speed, convenience, and rich features such as audio pronunciation and contextual examples. However, challenges such as internet dependency, distracting advertisements, and potential overreliance were identified. These limitations underscore the need for improved digital tool design and greater student awareness. The study highlights the importance of fostering digital literacy and strategic dictionary use to enhance long-term vocabulary retention, communication skills, and overall language proficiency.Keywords: Digital Dictionaries, Non-Digital Dictionaries, English language learning

Abstract

This study investigates how Indonesian cultural identity has been constructed and negotiated through agreements with UNESCO and examines its influence on global awareness, cooperation, and collaboration. A descriptive-qualitative analysis was conducted on 414 pages of Indonesian–English contract texts available in UNESCO’s online repository, focusing on cultural-specific words and items classified according to Ahimsa-Putra and Rachman’s (2021) taxonomy and coded as either resistance or negotiation following Venuti and Eco. The analysis involved descriptive coding using definitions from the Kamus Besar Bahasa Indonesia and the Oxford English Dictionary, Source–Target Relations (STR) analysis to identify shifts, thematic categorization of translation strategies, and interpretive analysis based on Derrida’s concepts of meaning shifts and différance. A conceptual framework was developed to ensure semantic alignment and control for potential confounders during validation of meaning connotation, with authoritative dictionaries used to validate the lexicon and cross-literature checks conducted to compare our dataset with established literature anchors. The findings indicate that direct equivalence translation is infrequent, with contrastive searches for equivalents often resulting in faithful representation in terms of meaning, identity, and culture, and that generative description reveals nuanced relationships between translation choices and the representation of cultural identity.Keywords: Cultural identity, Cultural references, Negotiation, Translation, UNESCO Agreements

Abstract

This study investigates the use of discourse markers (DMs) in male and female students’ speech, focusing on their frequency, function, and gender-based variation. It explores how DMs support coherence and fluency in spoken discourse within an educational context. Through a sociolinguistic lens, the study identifies patterns of DM usage and potential linguistic differences between genders in spontaneous speech. A qualitative descriptive approach was employed to transcribe and analyse audio-recorded student conversations. Discourse analysis was used to classify the types and functions of DMs. Findings show that both male and female students used DMs to structure discourse, manage turn-taking, and signal speaker stance. However, female students tended to use a wider range of DMs, particularly those expressing agreement, politeness, and elaboration. In contrast, male students more frequently used DMs associated with hesitation and topic shifts. These results underscore the influence of sociolinguistic factors in DM selection and highlight how gender can shape spoken language patterns.Keywords:     sociolinguistic, discourse markers, spoken discourse, student speech

Abstract

This study explores the representation of traumatic experiences in H.G. Wells' novel The Island of Doctor Moreau. Traumatic experiences are unpredictable, unpreventable situations that overwhelm victims and disrupt their ability to cope. Literature can provide insights into the range of responses to such overwhelming experiences as a reflection of human existence. The objective of this research is to increase awareness and understanding of trauma and mental illness through the analysis of literary depictions. Using a qualitative research approach, the study examines the traumatic experiences encountered by the protagonist, Edward Prendick, in the novel. The analysis categorizes Prendick's traumatic experiences into three main themes: a) being stranded, drifting away, and lost; b) witnessing death and seeing dead bodies; and c) meeting scary creatures, being attacked, and being terrorized. The findings reveal how the novel portrays the psychological and emotional impact of trauma on the protagonist, highlighting the challenges faced by victims of overwhelming and life-threatening situations. By analyzing the literary representation of trauma, this study aims to foster greater empathy and understanding for those affected by traumatic experiences and mental health issues. The in-depth qualitative analysis of the narrative techniques and thematic elements in the novel contributes to the literature on the literary depiction of trauma and its implications for raising awareness and promoting mental health.Keywords: Traumatic experiences, psychology, novel
