Abstract

This study explores the role of digital tools and language learning strategies in engagement and achievement at the graduate level. This was achieved through a mixed-methods strategy that included a sampling survey with Likert scales as well as in-depth coding of qualitative data. The survey was distributed through the platform and consisted of 15 open-ended questions measuring cognitive, emotional, and behavioral types of engagement on a scale of 1 to 5. The descriptive-analytical methods and qualitative coding were used to measure engagement and student experiences. Emotion engagement was found to be the strongest, while cognitive engagement was high as well but behavioral engagement was relatively lower, indicating participants’ struggle to keep up the consistency in studying. Interactive learning, real-life practice, and even motivational collaboration were used as qualitative analysis reveals while technical difficulties and poor attendance were provided. The results call for some degree of caution in the application of such digital tools that must be incorporated strategically. Future research should find ways to improve behavioral engagement and overcome technological hurdles to improve the overall effectiveness of the digital learning experience.

Abstract

Listening is one of the essential skills in learning English. A person cannot speak or express their opinions without first listening. This research aims to identify the strategies used by lecturers in teaching listening and how these strategies are implemented. Specifically, this study investigates the application of top-down and bottom-up listening strategies. Top-down listening involves using prior knowledge, context, and background information to understand spoken language, while bottom-up listening focuses on decoding sounds, words, and grammatical structures to derive meaning. Understanding how lecturers incorporate these approaches can provide insights into effective listening instruction. This study employs a descriptive qualitative method using several instruments, including interviews and documentation. The participants in this study were students from the Department of English Language Education program at Darussalam Gontor University. The findings reveal that the lecturer employs an integrated three-stage approach—pre-, while-, and post-listening—while considering student factors. Pre-listening activates prior knowledge and top-down processing, while-listening combines top-down and bottom-up strategies, and post-listening enhances comprehension through interactive activities. Student motivation, interest, and participation play a crucial role in improving listening comprehension. These insights highlight the importance of a structured approach and learner engagement in teaching listening skills effectively

Abstract

This research investigates the influence of artificial intelligence (AI) on English language instruction in higher education, exploring both its potential benefits and challenges. A mixed-method approach was utilized, integrating survey data with in-depth interviews. The questionnaire was distributed via Google Forms through WhatsApp groups and personal networks to English lecturers. The study involved 16 English lecturers from both public and private universities in East Java. Analyzing the survey responses and interview transcripts revealed that AI technology presents both opportunities and obstacles in English language education. AI has brought significant changes to English instruction at the university level, with lecturers employing various AI tools for tasks such as generating and responding to questions, assessing grammatical accuracy, detecting plagiarism, paraphrasing, and conducting literature reviews. This research also underscores AI’s benefits in language education, particularly in grammar correction and plagiarism detection. However, alongside its advantages, AI also introduces new challenges for the future of English teaching. The effective integration of AI necessitates strong digital literacy skills. As AI technology continues to develop, there is a possibility that certain aspects of English teaching may become automated. Consequently, English lecturers need to continuously refine their digital skills to maintain their relevance in the evolving educational landscape.

Abstract

The novel Invisible Monster by Chuck Palahniuk reflects the phenomenon of body transformation, such as mutilation, which is considered by society as a deviation from the norm and is called a monstrous body. The discourse is expressed through the character Shannon who carries out facial mutilation; thus, providing space to better understand the phenomenon as an effort to deconstruct established norms. This study aims to investigate the form and factors of monstrous body transformation. To achieve this goal, the researcher used a descriptive qualitative approach by applying two theories, namely Steinhoff's Body Transformation theory and Bakhtin's Grotesque Body theory. This study found a monstrous body form in the form of a crushed face, experienced by Shannon. The crushed face was because Shannon shot herself in the face. Therefore, Shannon's face was destroyed, her jaw was open, her tongue was sticking out, and she continued to bleed and ooze. The crushed face deviated greatly from society's norms of ideal beauty; thus, it was called a monstrous body. Then, this study identified the factors of Shannon's monstrous body transformation, namely abberanormia, which was developed from the Body Transformation theory. Abberanormia was identified from Shannon's condition of wanting to break the norms of beauty not because she was unable to meet them, but because she had reached those standards and felt bored.

Abstract

This study explores the use of slang words in the post and comment sections of the “Jual Beli Akun Mobile Legends Indonesia” Facebook community. The purpose of this research is to identify the types of slang and the types of meaning conveyed in the communication among users within this digital marketplace. Using a qualitative descriptive method, the data were collected through document analysis from 105 posts and 17 comments over the span of one week. The study applied Allan and Burridge’s classification of slang (Clipping, Acronym, Fresh and Creative, Imitative, and Flippant) and Leech’s theory of meaning (Conceptual, Connotative, Stylistic, and Affective). The findings revealed that Clipping was the most dominant slang type, indicating a preference for brevity and efficiency. Connotative meaning was also the most prevalent, showing how slang reflects not only linguistic function but also social and emotional context. The results suggest that slang in this online community is used not only to simplify communication but also to build shared identity, express sentiment, and reinforce group belonging. This study contributes to understanding how digital communities, especially those based on gaming and trading, develop and sustain their own informal linguistic norms. Types of Meaning

Abstract

This study analyzes George Orwell’s Animal Farm as a political allegory that critiques totalitarian regimes and the corruption of revolutionary ideals. Using a qualitative descriptive-analytical approach, the research applies semiotic and discourse analysis to examine the symbolic elements and political messages embedded in the novel. The findings reveal that characters such as Napoleon, Snowball, and Boxer symbolize key figures and classes from the Russian Revolution and Stalinist era, highlighting Orwell’s critique of propaganda, ideological control, and exploitation. The study shows how Orwell employs satire and allegory to depict the manipulation of language and truth, reflecting broader political realities both historically and in contemporary society. The novel serves as a cautionary tale about the dangers of unchecked power and remains highly relevant in today’s political climate.
