Abstract

This paper explains ambition and power through Tzvetan Todorov’s structuralist model of narrative equilibrium, disruption, and recognition by examining Christopher Marlowe’s Doctor Faustus (1604) and HBO’s Game of Thrones (2011–2019). It interprets how the moral trajectory of ambition as a destructive force transcends medium and era through linking Renaissance humanism with postmodern visual storytelling. Following a qualitative comparative method, this study provides textual and visual analysis of key moments in both works and demonstrates how Faustus and Cersei Lannister embody a shared Todorovian tragic pattern. Updated with recent critical scholarship on narratology and adaptation studies, the research describes that both figures represent the timeless Faustian conflict between desire and ethics. The analysis argues that when ambition is detached from moral equilibrium, it functions as a universal engine of tragedy that sustains the continuity between classical drama and modern television narratives.

Abstract

This study aims to develop and evaluate a printable reading comprehension test specifically designed for pesantren students in low-technology learning environments. Utilizing the ADDIE instructional design model—comprising Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation—the research addresses the digital divide and material constraints often found in religious educational settings. The methodology employed a Research and Development (R&D) design involving ten students from MA Al Mahrusiyah at Daru Zainab, selected through purposive sampling. Data collection involved a printable closed-test format, specifically a fill-in-the-blank assessment, supplemented by semi-structured interviews to capture qualitative insights. Quantitative results indicated a significant improvement in reading proficiency, with mean scores rising from 5.40 in the pretest to 9.10 in the post-test. A paired-sample t-test confirmed this improvement was statistically significant (p < 0.05). Qualitative findings further revealed that the structured, context-sensitive nature of the test helped students focus on deeper meaning rather than guessing. While the study is limited by its small sample size and short-term scope, it demonstrates that systematic instructional design can bridge the gap between pedagogical theory and real-world educational constraints. Ultimately, this research provides a feasible and effective alternative for fostering reading comprehension in under-resourced environments where digital tools are impractical.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the nonverbal communication used by the resilient heroine “Elodie” in the film Damsel (2024) directed by Juan Carlos Fresnadillo. Used descriptive qualitative combined with content analysis to collecting the data from the Damsel (2024) film with a duration of 1 hour 48 minutes. The data collection technique in this study includes several steps: understanding the theory of nonverbal communication by DeVito, watching the film several times, reading the film script, identifying the nonverbal cues performed by Elodie, making notes and coding the data based on six categories. The aspects of nonverbal communication that are the focus of this study are body messages, facial communication, eye communication, touch communication, silence, and spatial messages and territoriality. Based on the results of data analysis, 55 nonverbal communication cues were found. The first finding is body messages with 4 data (7%), such as gestures and body movement. Second, facial communication with 10 data (18%), including expressions and smiles. Third, eye communication with 13 data (24%), like eye contact and eye avoidance. Fourth, touch communication with 12 data (22%), including emotional and ritual touches. Fifth, silence with 7 data (13%), referring to communicative pauses. And sixth, spatial messages and territoriality with 9 data (16%), such as proxemic distance. Thus, it can be concluded that the film Damsel contains many instances of nonverbal communication, and the most dominant aspect used by the character Elodie is facial communication with 13 occurrences or 24%.

Abstract

This paper aims to provide a detailed literary analysis of Salazar Slytherin, a character from J. K. Rowling’s Harry Potter book series (1997–2007), as a quintessential Gothic figure. It repositions the 10th-century founder of Hogwarts not just as a historical enemy in the Wizarding World, but as a key figure in the Gothic tradition. The study focuses on the ideas of critic Chris Baldick, who identifies several aspects of Gothic literature, such as the "tyranny of the past," the "stifling of the present," and the physical representation of these forces in confined or underground "dead-end" spaces. The paper argues that Slytherin represents the Byronic Villain. He is marked by an aristocratic ego and an obsessive belief in blood purity, reflecting the Gothic themes of ancestral decline and the "bad blood" in failing dynasties. By looking at Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets book and film through the perspective of Gothic architecture, this study shows how Slytherin’s underground lair acts as a "dead-end" crypt. This space physically embodies repressed secrets that burst into the modern world, disrupting the educational haven of the school. Furthermore, the analysis connects Slytherin’s character to the Dark Academia subculture. It explores how his status as the "Master of the Macabre," defined by Parseltongue and the control of the Basilisk, connects with the Gothic concept of the "Sublime," where fear and wonder meet. By comparing Slytherin to Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick’s ideas of "the unspeakable" and "the stifling of hopes," the article concludes that Slytherin is the main creator of the Gothic style at Hogwarts. His legacy is not a fixed history but a living "haunting." This shows that the Gothic nature of his character lies in his power to keep the ancient past in a harmful, overwhelming hold on the living.

Abstract

As the global technology sector becomes increasingly integrated, Information Systems (IS) graduates must possess both technical mastery and the linguistic competence to navigate international professional environments. This research investigates the intersection of technical academic achievement and communicative performance by analyzing the English for Specific Purposes (ESP) usage and interview strategies of IS students. Utilizing a qualitative descriptive research design, the study stratified 24 undergraduate students from one of universities in Indonesia into three groups i.e., high, medium, and low achievers. Data were elicited through semi-structured mock job interviews and analyzed using the six-phase reflexive thematic analysis framework of Braun and Clarke (2013). The results reveal a significant pragmatic gap between achievement levels. High achievers demonstrated professional agency, characterized by the use of lexical anchors and proactive rhetorical strategies that linked academic projects to business outcomes. Conversely, lower achievers exhibited template dependency, relying on rigid scripts and generalist language that often masked their technical potential. Significant First Language (L1) interference and phonetic slips were observed across all levels, though high achievers displayed superior self-monitoring and mitigation skills. These findings suggest that high academic achievement provides the content for professional success, but it does not automatically confer the linguistic voice required for global employability. The study concludes with pedagogical recommendations for integrating industry-specific pragmatics into ESP curricula to ensure that all IS graduates are effectively prepared for the demands of the global technology workforce.

Abstract

This study analyzes the detective story formula in The Murder at The Vicarage by Agatha Christie and Dua Dini Hari by Chandra Bientang Anggarie using John G. Cawelti’s theory and a comparative literature approach. The data in this study consists of words, phrases, clauses, and sentences found in both novels and were analyzed using Miles, Huberman, and Saldana’s data analysis techniques. The findings show that both novels apply Cawelti’s major detective patterns: situation, pattern of action, characters and relationships, and setting. However, the novels differ in their application of the formula. The differences can be seen in the portrayal of the detective, investigation process, narrative atmosphere, and social setting. The Murder at The Vicarage represents the classical detective formula by emphasizing logical investigation and the restoration of social order. Meanwhile, Dua Dini Hari represents the hard-boiled detective formula by focusing on violence, corruption, and the detective’s struggle against harsh social realities. This study demonstrates that Cawelti’s detective formula remains relevant in contemporary detective fiction, as its fundamental patterns are still applied in modern works such as Dua Dini Hari, although adapted to contemporary social realities.

Quasi-experimental research was adopted involving the 2024/2025 registered 488 NCE 1 English language students of nine colleges of Education in the study area. Purposive sampling was used to select 4 out of the 9 colleges of Education with a total of 204 NCE 1 students as the sample size. Three sets of data were collected: pre-test, post-test and post-treatment self-efficacy data. These were analysed using One-Way ANOVA and descriptive statistics respectively. Results indicated significant improvements in English speaking skills. Mean scores rose from 2.543, 9.442, 9.915, 0.000 and 7.413 in pre-test to 1404.914, 885.219, 873.223, 1370.581 and 791.770 in post-test in terms of ESPS, ESSPS, EVPS, EGS and EFS, respectively. Further, subjects demonstrated higher degree of self-efficacy in English speaking skills after the treatment. It was concluded the improvements followed the series of multimodal trainings to which the learners were exposed involving linguistic and non-linguistic mode. Although limited in terms of scope and rating criteria, the study suggested adoption of wider scope and technology-informed rating criteria by future research.

Abstract

This study aims to map the English proficiency index across ASEAN member countries and analyze the structural factors causing competency gaps between 2021 and 2025. Employing a descriptive-comparative method with a literature review approach, this study analyzes secondary data from the EF English Proficiency Index (EF EPI) of eight Southeast Asian countries selected via purposive sampling. The results demonstrate a sharp macroeconomic polarization in linguistic competency. Malaysia and Philippines secure the top tier within the "High Proficiency" cluster (scores >550), driven by long-standing institutional integrations. Conversely, Indonesia experiences chronic educational inertia, remaining stagnant in the "Low Proficiency" cluster with a weak Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 0.27% (scoring 466 to 471). This wide gap (up to 110 points against Malaysia in 2025) imposes a substantial opportunity cost on Indonesia's macroeconomy, decreasing the marginal productivity of human capital, restricting cross-border digital trade, and weakening regional competitiveness. Strategic curricula restructuring towards standardized communicative methods (CEFR) is urgently required to resolve this structural barrier

Abstract

  The purpose of this study was to determine how project-based learning affected the speaking skills of eleventh-grade students at SMAN 2 Kota Serang-Banten. The researcher employed cluster random sampling as the sampling strategy and a quantitative approach with a real experimental design. According to the pre-test results, the experimental class's minimum score was 48, whereas the control class's minimal score was 32. The experimental class's highest score was 84, while the control class's highest score was 72. We can conclude that there was no significant difference between the two classes' pre-tests. The experimental class's minimal score on the post-test was 62, while the control class's minimum score was 60. The experimental class had a maximum score of 86, whereas the control class had a maximum score of 76. We can conclude that there was a significant difference between the two classes' pre-tests. T.count≥t_table, or 7.37 ≥ 2.00, was determined based on the outcome of the test of mean difference significant (independent t_test). The alternate theory was approved. At the eleventh grade of SMAN 2 Kota Serang, it can be concluded that project-based learning had an impact on students' speaking skills. It is suggested for the English teachers to apply the PjBL model and focus on making students be more active in speaking class.
