Abstract

This research investigated the forms of gender discrimination experienced by the female character Jo March in the film "Little Women (2019)" and Jo's efforts against the discrimination in her societal life during the post-Civil War era in America. The study is conducted through a contextual approach and utilizes Simone de Beauvoir's feminist study approach. This research identifies the forms of discrimination experienced by the character Jo March in aspects of work, life, and family. Additionally, the research also reveals the forms of resistance carried out by Jo March in confronting gender discrimination including (1) continuing her work; (2) rejecting gender conventions; (3) pursuing independence in education and financial matters; and (4) advocating for women's rights. This research provides insights into the gender inequality faced by women in America at that time. The findings are expected to inspire women to further advocate for their rights and not give up in the face of the discrimination they experience. This study contributes to the field of gender studies by highlighting the pervasive impact of patriarchal norms on gender discrimination, thereby inspiring women to advocate for their rights and fostering a deeper understanding of gender equality. Additionally, it offers valuable insights for future research, encouraging a broader exploration of feminist issues and the diverse cultural contexts affecting women's roles and autonomy.

Abstract

ABSTRACT In recent years, YouTube has become an important platform for educational content. While various studies have examined YouTube’s role in improving learners’ English listening skills, much of the earlier research focused on outdated versions of the platform. This study aims to update these findings by analyzing more recent studies and addressing gaps in the literature regarding YouTube’s impact on enhancing English listening skills. The review includes nineteen studies published between 2020 and 2024, with one additional study from 2014, sourced from Google Scholar and the International Journal. The results show that YouTube provides authentic language resources, like podcasts, videos, and interviews, which significantly boost listening comprehension. However, the effectiveness of YouTube as a learning tool depends on the use of effective strategies, including customized playlists, guided viewing, and interactive exercises. The study also identifies challenges such as limited internet access and the necessity of pedagogical oversight to fully utilize YouTube’s benefits. Although YouTube holds promise as a resource for language learning, further research is needed to assess its impact on academic performance and long-term language development. This study offers practical advice for educators looking to incorporate YouTube into their teaching methods.

Abstract

ABSTRACT This research evaluates the impact of the developed artificial intelligence tool- Yoodli on public speaking skills as well as the confidence of introverted students. AI technology has grown rapidly in education, but little research focuses on its impact on introverted users. Qualitative methods are used, with data collection through observation and in-depth interviews. The results of the study showed that the majority of participants experienced significant improvements in public speaking skills and confidence after using Yoodli. These results show that Yoodli can be a useful solution for resolving introverts' difficulties when giving public speeches. Moreover, Yoodli may be customized to satisfy various individual demands and offer objective, consistent feedback. The research enriched the literature on learning public speaking skills by adding new perspectives on the use of AI.

Abstract

This quantitative experimental design research was aimed at finding out whether a projectbased English teaching and learning activity affects the student's learning outcomes and motivation. A pretest and a post-test were given to know the students' skills before and after they joined the project-based teaching and learning process. The project was in the form of asking the students to cook any food on their preference in which they had to use English before, during, and after the process. The respondents were 11 female students which were chosen by using a simple random sampling technique. The result of the research was that the six respondents stated that they strongly agreed that project-based English teaching and learning increased their learning motivation. In addition, 5 respondents stated that they agreed. Hence, no respondents said that it was not motivational. The research also showed that there was a significant increase of 13 points in the average score between the pretest and post-test results. It means the use of project-based teaching and learning activity was scientifically proven to be effective in increasing the student's learning motivation and outcome.

Abstract

News writing is generally formulated using a standard, formal language style. However, Catch Me Up!, an online daily newspaper, broke those strict rules by offering casual, loose, non-standard language which predominantly used code-switching as one of the ways to alter formal to informal language styles. Hence, this study aimed to describe the various types of code-switching that occurred on Catch Me Up! and explain why the news frequently employed code-switching. Three theories underlie the present research; types of code-switching by Poplack and a combination of reasons for code-switching by Hoffmann, Gumperz, and San. The study applied the descriptive-qualitative method since the data were in the form of words, phrases, clauses, and sentences. The data sources were taken from 17 international news published in July 2023. The results revealed that, out of 235 found data, intra-sentential switching became the most occurred data regarding code switching types. In line with the reasons for code-switching, addressee specification and expressing group identity appeared dominantly in this study, followed by talking about a particular topic, interjection, indicating emotions, intention for clarifying the speech substance for interlocutors, and quoting somebody else.
