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.

Abstract

(2019) through the theoretical framework of Oliver E. Williamson's concept of opportunism. The research aims to identify the indicators, manifestations, and motivations behind opportunistic actions depicted in the film. Using a qualitative descriptive method, the analysis draws from primary data in the form of scenes and dialogues, supported by secondary data from literature and theoretical reviews. The findings reveal that opportunistic behaviors in the Harlan family are driven by economic dependency, greed, and information asymmetry. Key indicators include manipulation, deceit, and exploitation of trust, as seen in Ransom's framing of Marta to nullify the will and Walt's coercion using Marta's mother's immigration status. The study demonstrates the relevance of Williamson's theory in analyzing fictional narratives, offering a unique interdisciplinary perspective. However, the research is limited to this theoretical approach and film, suggesting opportunities for future studies to explore psychological or sociological dimensions of opportunism in other works. This research highlights how cinematic storytelling can reflect complex human behaviors and ethical dilemmas.

Abstract

This research analyzes the impact of social media on Carl Casper’s professional image, using Frank Jefkins' Image Theory from Essentials of Public Relations (1988). The study explores how social media shapes Carl’s public perception and career development in the film Chef (2014), directed by Jon Favreau. Utilizing a qualitative approach, the research examines Carl’s transformation through the four stages of Jefkins' theory: Mirror Image, Current Image, Wish Image, and Multiple Image. Data are collected through repeated viewings of the film, analysis of critical scenes, and examination of secondary sources related to social media’s role in shaping Carl’s image. The findings reveal that while social media initially amplifies Carl’s struggles, it ultimately becomes a powerful tool for rebuilding his career. Managed by his son Percy, Carl’s use of social media reshapes his image, turning criticism into admiration and reconnecting him with his audience. This study highlights the transformative potential of digital platforms in public relations and personal branding.
