The use of gamification in language learning has become increasingly popular as an innovative strategy to improve students’ engagement and motivation in the classroom. This study aims to investigate students’ perceptions of gamification through Wayground in English Grammar classes. The study employed a mixed-method approach involving quantitative and qualitative data collection. The participants consisted of 40 students enrolled in English Grammar classes. Data were collected through a Likert-scale questionnaire and open-ended responses distributed via Google Forms. The findings revealed that most students had positive perceptions toward the implementation of gamification in grammar learning. The majority of participants agreed that Wayground made grammar lessons more interesting, enjoyable, and interactive. Students also reported that gamified activities increased their motivation, participation, and classroom engagement. In addition, competitive features and instant feedback encouraged students to become more active during learning activities. Qualitative responses showed that many students considered grammar learning through games to be less stressful and more enjoyable compared to traditional teaching methods. However, several challenges were also identified. Some students stated that internet connectivity and technical issues affected their learning experience. A few participants also mentioned that competition sometimes created pressure or reduced their focus on understanding the material. Moreover, several students still preferred a combination of gamified and traditional grammar teaching to achieve better comprehension of grammar concepts. Overall, the study suggests that gamification through Wayground can create a more engaging and enjoyable learning environment in English grammar classes while still requiring balanced instructional strategies and adequate technological support.

This research aims to analyze mood and modality in the dialogues and to explore how interpersonal metafunction reflects power and despair. The audience of Prisoners movie often focused on the father-daughter relationship between Keller and Anna which overlooks the significance of character interactions in constructing meaning. This study applies a descriptive qualitative method using selected scenes from the movie script focusing on Keller and Loki. It applies Halliday’s Systemic Functional Linguistics, particularly the interpersonal metafunction, along with Rotter’s Locus of Control theory to examine how power and despair are constructed by linguistic choices. The findings show that obligation is the most dominant type of modality, with Keller’s dialogue highly dominated by obligation, reflecting his tendency to control situations. Keller also shows a dominance of internal Locus of Control, indicating his refusal to be passive, while Loki demonstrates a balance between internal and external control. In terms of mood, Keller frequently uses declarative and imperative sentences, while Loki often uses interrogative forms

This study explores the hidden mechanisms of patriarchal oppression in Charlotte Perkins Gilman’s short story, The Yellow Wallpaper. While previous studies have widely discussed its general feminist themes, there is a lack of research analyzing how specific everyday objects actively build this oppressive atmosphere. To fill this gap, this study applies Roland Barthes’ three-level semiotic theory—denotation, connotation, and myth—to decode ordinary household items within the story. Using a qualitative approach based on document analysis and close reading, the textual data was analyzed using the interactive model by Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña. The findings reveal that the husband's medical authority, the barred nursery room, and the ugly yellow wallpaper work together as a complex sign system. This system is carefully designed to normalize male dominance, treat the adult female protagonist like a helpless child, and silence her intellectual freedom. Ultimately, this semiotic analysis uncovers a tragic myth: the patriarchal system would rather drive a woman completely insane than grant her true equality. This study concludes that ordinary objects in literature are not just simple backgrounds, but powerful tools that carry deep ideological meanings about gender and systemic control.

This study explores the contribution of memes and internet slangs to the construction of modern cultural identity in virtual communities. As social media emojis language like X, TikTok and Instagram continue to be integral components of communication people start to create and use memes and slangs that even surpasses casual talk. These are lines that communicate shared values, shared humour, shared resistance, and shared membership with others. This article provides qualitative content analysis, inquiring into the nature and uses of these terms. The results show that memes and slangs is a cultural marker that affects how people create groups, define their identities, and interact with others online. The relationship between identity politics and language innovation in digital contexts is also examined in this study. The work adds to sociolinguistics and digital cultural studies by analysing how language changes in real-time via virtual encounters, highlighting the significance of meme and slangs as a potent, dynamic form of cultural expression.
