The objective of the study is to elaborate on the process of decision-making of having euthanasia by Will Traynor and the factors that influenced Will Traynor in making the euthanasia decision.

The result of the research shows that the decision-making process of Will Traynor has three stages: The first stage, personal examination, is Will Traynor convinces that he is incurable, refuses people’s opinion, and believes that ending his life is the best choice; the second stage, general examination, is Will starts to take others' perspectives into account which leads him to explore alternatives that is option of suicide and delaying his decision to undergo euthanasia; the last stage is the actual choice that is having euthanasia in Dignitas, Swiss. The factors that influence Will Traynor in making decisions are experience - an accident that caused Will to have cervical neck injuries; the cognitive bias - Will constantly feels that his life is defined by pain and shame for being dependent on others; the escalation of commitments - making sacrifices by living together with his parents for six months and giving up his love on Louisa; the individual differences are Will’s age and socioeconomic status; and the personal relevance is Will convinces that euthanasia is the right choice to end his sufferings.

Abstract

This descriptive qualitative research examined the anxiety of students majoring in English literature when giving an oral presentation in English. The fifth and seventh semester students were the subjects of research. Observations, interviews, and questionnaires were used to identify factors causing anxiety among the students in their oral presentations in class and to study their strategies to overcome anxiety. The results reveal that fear of making mistakes, shyness, lack of self-confidence, lack of motivation, embarrassment, limited vocabulary, grammatical errors, peer influence, lack of preparation, teacher's presence, and lack of experience were factors contributing to the students' anxiety. Anxiety was also influenced by the attitude of the class teacher, which can either boost students' confidence or reinforce their worry. To overcome their anxiety, the EFL students applied memory, cognitive, compensation, metacognitive, affective, and social strategies. Many students, particularly those who practiced, reflected on themselves, or asked for criticism, developed progressive confidence.

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic significantly transformed the educational landscape, compelling educators to adopt various digital tools to ensure the continuity of learning. Although face-to-face learning has resumed, the integration of technology in education remains relevant and essential. This study investigates students' perceptions of lecturers' digital literacy in the context of online learning during and after the pandemic. The research involved 30 respondents through questionnaires and 7 participants in forum group discussions (FGDs) from two higher education institutions with language departments: STBA LIA Yogyakarta and Universitas Negeri Yogyakarta. The study aimed to assess lecturers' competencies in using digital tools for teaching and the extent to which these tools are considered necessary from the students’ perspective. The findings indicate that while lecturers demonstrate sufficient to proficient skills in utilizing Learning Management Systems (LMS), video conferencing platforms, and basic hardware tools such as laptops and smartphones, they often struggle with more advanced competencies, including video and audio editing, gamification, and managing digital learning platforms. Students emphasized the importance of engaging teaching materials, particularly video-based content with high resolution and clear audio, to support better understanding in online settings. Furthermore, students highlighted the necessity for lecturers to master not only the delivery of content but also the management of digital classroom tools, including online attendance, evaluation, and communication through messenger platforms. The study concludes that digital literacy among lecturers must continue to be developed even after the pandemic, as online and blended learning remain integral to modern education. Mastery of digital tools—ranging from authoring and testing tools to communication and presentation platforms—is crucial in enhancing the quality and accessibility of education. Ongoing training and professional development in educational technology are recommended to ensure that lecturers can meet the evolving needs of their students in a digital learning environment.

Abstract

In today’s globalized business environment, English plays a vital role in professional communication, especially in non-English-speaking countries like Indonesia. This study explores English language usage in Indonesian workplaces, the challenges employees encounter, and their motivation to improve proficiency. It aims to understand how English affects workplace dynamics and identify strategies to enhance communication. Using a quantitative, cross-sectional survey design, data were collected through a structured questionnaire completed by employees across various sectors. The 26-item instrument measured language use, perceived difficulties, attitudes, and motivation on a 5-point Likert scale. Descriptive statistical analysis was used to interpret the findings. Results indicate that receptive skills (e.g., reading English documents) are used more frequently than productive skills (e.g., speaking in meetings). Participants reported moderate difficulties in expressing ideas and understanding accents, but showed strong awareness of English’s importance and high motivation to improve. Additionally, there was a strong expectation for organizational support, such as training programs and communication policies. This study highlights the need for targeted interventions to bridge communication gaps and promote effective English usage. With high employee motivation and clear institutional demand, organizations have a valuable opportunity to strengthen their workforce's communicative competence and global competitiveness.

Abstract

Mistakes are common things in learning of a language. Students make mistakes when learning because of some process such as interlingual transfer in which learners’ L1 influences the process of L2 learning; interlingual transfer where learners sometimes make overgeneralization of a language rule; and the third is the context of learning where sometimes students get false concept since they do not use the real context of communication. This study was taken at a college in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. This paper tries to answer two questions; (1) What kind of error do the students make during their final oral examination? and (2) What are the sources of the error that the students make? By classifying and analyzing the errors, and employing the theory by Taylor and Dulay et al. it is found that the errors are dominated by omission and addition. Those errors are caused by the negative interlingual and intralingual transfers which lead to false concept the students grabs during their learning process. Keywords: mistake, error, interlingual transfer, intralingual transfer

Abstract

This is a comparative study of two, amongst others, major educational philosophies—Perennialism and Progressivism—focusing on their respective characteristics: their views of reality, epistemological positions, and, more specifically, their implications for education. Each philosophy offers a unique perspective while sharing certain fundamental principles in shaping student development. Perennialism emphasizes timeless truths and the development of intellectual and moral virtues through classical works and structured learning. Progressivism, in contrast, focuses on experiential learning, a student-centered approach, and adaptability to changing societal needs. After understanding the similarities and differences within these philosophies, this study also explores the contributions and limitations of each within the broader context of language learning and educational practice.
