Abstract

This correlation study aims to determine the following: 1) Students' attitudes toward learning English are significantly correlated with achievement. 2) Achievement and the quality of the English curriculum is strongly correlated with students' perceptions of it. 3) Achievement is significantly connected with opinions of the effectiveness of the English classroom and attitudes toward learning the language. 276 data made up the population of this study. One class out of the seven was chosen using a random cluster sampling method. In one session, thirty pupils were eligible for the analysis. A perception survey, an attitude survey, and an achievement test were among the tools used to obtain the data. Students' perceptions of the caliber of English instruction and attitudes toward learning English were gathered using the perception and attitude questionnaires. The perception and attitude questionnaire results were utilized to forecast English proficiency. The data were analyzed with the use of numerous correlations and SPSS12 in order to accomplish the three goals of the current study. The findings supported the notion that attitudes toward learning English and English achievement correlate with perceptions of English instruction's effectiveness. The result of the computation of multiple correlation coefficients (R) is .767 and the correlation coefficient (R2) is .588. Therefore, perception and attitude "accounted for" 58.8% of the achievement, leaving the remaining 41.2% unaffected by either.  According to the findings, recommendations are made to EFL teaching professionals and other academics who wish to look into the subject more in the future. These recommendations speak to the value of preserving perception and attitude in order to raise students' English achievement.

Abstract

This present study offers a comprehensive analysis of the illocutionary acts in Taylor Swift's commencement speech delivered at New York University (NYU) in 2022. Illocutionary acts, a crucial component of speech acts theory, encompass the speaker's intended communicative functions, such as asserting, commanding, questioning, or expressing emotions. Taylor Swift's speech is examined in the context of illocutionary acts to uncover the underlying intentions and rhetorical strategies used in the address. Illocutionary acts refer to speech acts aimed at achieving specific communicative functions or goals. Pragmatics plays a helpful role in comprehending how speakers employ language to accomplish their communication objectives and how listeners interpret these utterances within the given context. It involves considering how speakers organize their intentions based on the individuals they are communicating with, the location, timing, and circumstances. This study analyzes the illocutionary acts performed by Taylor Swift in her Commencement speech at New York University (NYU). This study aims to identify and describe the meaning of the utterances used by Swift in her speech using qualitative methods. The results indicate that Swift utilized 94 utterances of illocutionary acts in her speech, including representative 33 utterances, expressive 32 utterances, declarative 13 utterances, directive 9 utterances, and commissive 7 utterances. Analyzing speech acts helped advance our understanding of the speaker's intentions and communicative goals. Without this understanding, communication can be hindered by misinterpretations and misunderstandings.

Abstract

Feminism is an enduring social issue, persisting from ancient times to the present. The struggles of early feminists resonate today, with patriarchy still evident in modern media, such as Greta Gerwig's adaptation of Little Women. This research examines how Little Women portrays the social issues of feminism, focusing on the experiences of the main character. Utilizing Sugihastuti's feminist approach, which defines feminism as a movement advocating for equality between men and women across political, economic, educational, and social spheres, the study explores the film's depiction of these themes. Additionally, Betty Friedan's feminist theory is employed to delve deeper into the feminist issues presented. The findings highlight several key feminist themes, including the societal expectation that women must marry to secure their future, the notion that women's roles are confined to homemaking, and the resistance to these norms by characters who choose their paths. The film illustrates the tension between traditional expectations and the characters' desires for independence, revealing the complexities of feminism and its relevance in contemporary society. Through this analysis, the research underscores how Little Women reflects ongoing feminist struggles and challenges the persistent patriarchal norms, offering a nuanced portrayal of women's autonomy and empowerment

Abstract

The problem-based learning method is one of the methods that can be applied in EFL classes, especially for students' writing skills, so that it can create a pleasant learning atmosphere and make learning more active in classroom learning activities. The problem-based learning model is one of the learning models that can shape scientific behavior, social actors, and develop students' curiosity. Learners are initially faced with a problem, then followed by a student centered information search process. Seeing the importance of this method, this study aims to see the extent to which the PBL method can improve students' ability to write Narrative text. With Classroom Action Research design, this study was applied to 20 students of class X.
