It can be used to investigate poet’s suicide case in perspective of forensic linguistics. This is a qualitative research that is conducted by using L.G. Alexander’s poetic devices and theory of suicide by Durkheim to analyse Plath’s suicidal motives. The result of the analysis shows that Plath’s suicidal motives are basically oriented to the stage of self-destruction due to the changing ideas of death from the selected poems from death as unacceptable thing, an unavoidable choice, gate for a rebirth to final solution of all life's problems. It is caused by personal feeling that completely separate from community.Keywords: death, sicide, poem, forensic linguistics

Abstract

AbstractThe development of the ELLMs arouse from the ultimate current trend towards incessantly using the inauthentic, generic and commercial ELT textbooks as the primary teaching and learning resources for the Dharma Andalas University’s Economic students. The effects of using the inauthentic materials fail to represent the knowledge and skills of English used in real world “language” settings. The objective of this study was, therefore, to research the students’ ELT materials as well as develop the authentic materials as a response to meeting/fulfilling the student’s needs of learning English. The method used was the Four D instructional model which underlined the four cyclical stages of Define, Design, Develop and Disseminate. The data were qualitatively and quantitatively processed. The research findings indicated that the developed instructional volume of the ELLMs for the 1st Year Dharma Andalas University’s Economic students were valid, effective and practical. In conclusion, the valid, effective and practical instructional volume of the ELLMs best described the students English needs, represented the knowledge and skills of English used in real world setting and significantly augmented the students’ vocabulary knowledge, productive and receptive skills. Keywords: developing, ELLMs, economic student, Dharma Andalas University

Abstract

AbstractThis research aims at knowing what kinds of efforts have been carried out by EFL teachers to foster undergraduate students in some universities in Banjarmasin. Besides that, this research also wants to know the advantages, the obstacles, and the challenges faced by EFL teachers in Banjarmasin fostering undergraduate students’ digital skills. This research takes place toward 15 EFL teachers in some universities in Banjarmasin who are selected as the participants to deliver information through questionnaire and interview section. The questionnaire item consists of six elements of digital skills and its practice that are expected to be employed by EFL teachers in their classes while interview guide gains the additional information further on clarifying the advantages, the obstacles, and the challenges they face on fostering students’ digital skills. The result of questionnaire shows that during a semester, the frequency of exploring digital-based learning is 65% from the whole meeting course duration at the average for all the EFL teachers under this research. Furthermore, the result of interview section shows that fostering students’ digital skills are not always successful in particular situation due to significant factors. Since the implementation of digital learning activities relies much on the availability of internet connection, the quality of internet network, the cost, and the degree of students’ familiarity with the range of digital tools become the essential things to consider. This research concludes that fostering student’ digital skills in EFL class needs optimal preparation, sufficient facilities available, and teaching plan from the teacher to get maximal learning outcomes.
