Abstract

The purpose of this study was to find out how using the platform from the perspective of both teachers and students can help to enhance the teaching and learning process at the University of Muhammadiyah Purwokerto for Master's Degree Students. The Pandemic gave a lot of benefits in the educational field. As we know online learning has been used since a long time ago supporting teaching and learning material using the website. Many people create an application and modern websites like Zoom, G-meet, on class, etc. That application supported almost everyone because it allowed for the flexible delivery of information via audio-visuals no matter time or place. However, online learning also needs to be implemented to know students’ motivation, responsibility, and learning behavior. Problem-solving that the University of Muhammadiyah Purwokerto used was implementing blended learning both online 60% and offline 40%. The data collection was an open-ended questionnaire that delivered questions to one lecturer, one international student, and 7 national students through G-Form. Inductive analysis was utilized using the data. As a result, all of the respondents gave positive and agreement perspectives on blended learning because it could make students learn autonomously, manage time more flexibly, enhance student achievement, and be confident when offline class.

Abstract

This research explores the role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) support in helping students' English-speaking skills. With the increasing importance of speaking skills in academic, professional and social contexts, this research aims to analyze the role of AI assistance in helping students' English-speaking skills. This research uses descriptive qualitative methods with 4 sixth semester student participants from a private university in Purwokerto who often use AI to help their English-speaking skills. Data was collected through semi- structured interviews and analyzed using data reduction techniques, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The research results show that AI makes a significant contribution to English language learning through personalization of learning, automatic evaluation. However, there are challenges in using AI such as lack of human interaction, limited features and AI not being able to understand complex situations. This research provides insight into the benefits and challenges of using AI in language learning, as well as its implications for the development of students' English-speaking skills.

Abstract

The current study investigates the utilization of ChatGPT to assist students in their language learning process through a descriptive qualitative study. Research data was collected via semi-structured interviews using purposive sampling, targeting five English language education students at a private faith-based university in Purwokerto. The findings indicate that students understand the use of ChatGPT and can effectively use prompts to interact with it. The study also indicates that participants generally use ChatGPT to assist with completing assignments, language learning, and writing their final projects. Participants commonly found that ChatGPT provided inaccurate information and lacked contextual understanding. To address these challenges, they cross-referenced information from ChatGPT with their own knowledge and reliable sources. The study also identified potential challenges such as plagiarism, using ChatGPT for cheating, and dependency on ChatGPT to complete assignments. This study supports the notion that ChatGPT can facilitate and support the language learning process for students.

Abstract

This paper exposes the matter of eternalism in the song of 2112 by Reality Club. By accentuating the theory of eternalism by J. M. E. McTaggart, eternalism is underlined in how all existence in time is equally real. In analysis, the song of 2112 depicts a love story that goes on since the couples were teenagers. Things are getting more complicated since they could not be together but they still have feelings of comfort and togetherness as if they live in eternal times. The memories keep going on though the time moves forward. It proves that the block universe of past, present and future events are all on an equal footing. In conclusion, the song reflects the matter of eternalism in the points of memories, not as past understandings, but as an open future towards any determinism in showing that any event is always interpreted through any matter of time.

Abstract

The Pakistani diaspora in the United States confronts a range of challenges arising from the interplay of ethnicity, nationality, and religious identity. Central to these challenges is the task of reconciling deeply held religious beliefs with the prevailing norms and practices of American society. This study investigates the complexities of integrating religious faith into a culturally hybrid identity through the lens of Homi Bhabha’s theory of cultural hybridity. By analysing the novels Writing on the Forehead by Nafisa Haji and Where to Dream in a Blue Moon by Bina Shah, this research explores the dynamics of cultural convergence and its implications for diasporic communities. These works offer insights into how Pakistani immigrants navigate the tension between maintaining religious fidelity and adapting to new cultural contexts. The study reveals that while the process of hybridization presents significant challenges, it also offers opportunities for enriching religious experiences and fostering intercultural dialogue. The findings underscore the importance of understanding the nuanced interplay between traditional religious practices and the evolving cultural landscape of the diaspora. This research contributes to broader discussions on multiculturalism, religious pluralism, and social cohesion, highlighting the role of literature in depicting and addressing these complex issues. Future studies should further explore how hybrid identities develop over time and the impact of generational shifts within diasporic communities on religious and cultural integration.

Abstract

This paper underlines the idea of expressionism in flash fiction of Elliot Flower entitled Winner’s Loss. Expressionism exposes matters of distorted people and object, emotional pain and anguish, unrealistic feelings of modern world, and symbolistic understanding. This story tells about someone who entrusts the money to the main character name Jack and he accidentally loses the money and accuses someone else of being thief. It turns out the money is taken by Jack’s wife because he lies to his wife by saying he did not have the money. By using qualitative method and explorative approach, the analysis includes how any gambling is actually expression of the desperate men. Those who hold to such gambling then are already at loss from the beginning. The money being gambled belongs to anyone but the ones that use it for another useful matter. In conclusion, expressionism in Flower’s flash fiction indicates how the gambling, the loss of money, and the wife’s attitude may intertwine consecutively to show any changing in the story of anyone’s life in general.

Abstract

This research examines the challenges encountered by rustic individuals in comprehending implicative language. Rustic individuals, characterized by their low levels of education and exposure to sophisticated linguistic nuances, face significant barriers when confronted with implicit communication. Residing in uncomplicated, culturally straightforward environments, these individuals are often unable to grasp the implicit meanings embedded within language, particularly in conversational contexts, which delves into the impediments posed by implicative language for individuals categorized as the "common man and also young children typically characterized by low levels of education and literacy. These individuals reside in uncomplicated, culturally straightforward societies where language usage tends to be explicit and devoid of sophistication. The study explores the challenges faced by individuals who lack awareness of the nuanced rules and philosophical underpinnings of language, particularly regarding the implicit nuances inherent in conversational quotations. Despite extensive research on language learning and the development of new linguistic theories, the obstacles associated with implicit discourse have received limited attention. This study emphasizes the importance of recognizing and addressing these barriers to effective communication between individuals from less educated backgrounds and those proficient in sophisticated language usage. The increasing complexity of language expression, driven by modern education and the proliferation of new terminologies, exacerbates this issue, marginalizing those who lack literary and sophisticated language comprehension. The term "sophisticated" refers to individuals possessing high intelligence, extensive worldly experience, and comprehensive knowledge of language nuances, who frequently employ implicative language. Such individuals are adept at navigating the intricacies of language rules, further complicating communication between individuals from diverse linguistic backgrounds.

Abstract

This research analyzes metaphors in Bruno Mars' song lyrics, namely Talking to the Moon, It Will Rain, and Just the Way You Are. This study uses a qualitative approach with the theory of Lakoff & Johnson (2003) which divides metaphors into three types: ontological, structural, and orientational metaphors. The results of the analysis show that the metaphors in the songs describe feelings of love, sadness, and deep emotional connection. This research provides insight into the use of metaphor as a tool to convey complex emotions and meanings in song lyrics. Overall, 23 metaphors were found with a distribution of: 35% ontological metaphors, 35% structural metaphors, and 30% orientational metaphors.

Abstract

Recently, there has been an increase in studies examining equivalence in meaning in translation, particularly in relation to how translators convey complex layers of meaning. While many studies have investigated equivalence, they often emphasize literal interpretations and frequently neglecting the underlying nuances associated with these translations. This paper presents a comparative analysis of Eugene Nida’s theories of dynamic and formal equivalence and Peter Newmark’s concepts of semantic and communicative translation. These theories represent foundational approaches to achieving equivalence in translation, particularly between culturally distinct languages like English and Arabic. This study analyzes how these theories inform Nida’s dynamic equivalence prioritizes the effect on the target audience and it aiming to create a natural and culturally adapted translation, while his formal equivalence focuses on maintaining the original structure and linguistic form of the source text. In contrast, Newmark’s semantic translation strives for precise meaning, even at the cost of readability, while communicative translation emphasizes accessibility and cultural resonance. Through the applications, benefits, and limitations of each approach, this study highlights how these theories address different translation needs, from preserving textual accuracy to enhancing reader comprehension. Practical examples are provided in both Arabic and English to illustrate the distinct impacts of these theories. finally, this paper argues that the choice of translation approach depends on the specific goals and audience of the translation task, contributing insights to the ongoing discourse on effective translation strategies.

Abstract

This paper examines the aesthetics of the female body in Arundhati Roy’s The God of Small Things (1997), through the intrusive descriptions of its surface. Drawing on Gérard Genette ‘s concept of ‘focalization,’ it analyses how Roy’s narrative voice navigates the representation of female characters, their bodies and the politics of gender and power wherein these representations operate. The study contends that although such descriptions seems overemphasized it is a technique that brings out objectification and commodification of women in a patriarchal society. By identifying the difference between external focalization (the position of the observer) and internal focalization (that of the character), the paper deconstructs the vanity of aestheticization and an ideological reading. This paper aims to investigate aestheticization of the female body in Roy’s novel by asking how such descriptions can be considered as a type of narratorial interruption when they seem to go beyond the need of the story or characterization. Hence, this literary analysis engages with the current discussions of feminist literary criticism as it relates to narrative form, gender politics and, or, the representation of subjects in contemporary literature.
