Abstract

This study investigates the challenges faced by English Education students at Universitas Pendidikan Muhammadiyah Sorong due to deficiencies in foundational English skills, focusing on their confidence and classroom management during teaching practicums. The research has three primary objectives: to identify specific challenges, analyze the impact of these deficiencies on students' confidence and classroom management abilities, and propose effective interventions. Utilizing a quantitative research design, data were collected from sixth-semester students through structured surveys and self-report questionnaires, which assessed perceived challenges, confidence levels, and classroom management skills. The findings revealed significant difficulties in vocabulary (72%), grammar (65%), pronunciation (58%), listening comprehension (60%), and speaking fluency (70%), compounded by limited exposure to English-speaking environments. A strong correlation was found between low English proficiency and decreased self-confidence, with 68% of respondents feeling unprepared to manage classrooms effectively. To address these challenges, the study proposes targeted interventions, including enhanced language support programs, peer mentoring, simulation activities, regular feedback mechanisms, and workshops on classroom management. These recommendations aim to improve the teaching practicum experience for English Education students, ultimately fostering their professional development and effectiveness as future educators.

Abstract

This study delves into Sylvia Plath's "The Bell Jar," focusing on the protagonist Esther Greenwood's nuanced portrayal of mental illness. Through a qualitative approach, the research explores Esther's psychological journey, examining her struggles and resilience in the face of mental health challenges. The study employs various literary analysis techniques to dissect and interpret the novel's content, with the primary data source being Plath's prose itself. This approach provides a broader context and theoretical framework for understanding the novel's themes, blending literary analysis with psychological and sociological perspectives. The study pays particular attention to the depiction of 1950s psychiatric treatments, critically examining their inadequacies and limitations. Special focus is given to the portrayal of electroconvulsive therapy, a controversial treatment that plays a significant role in Esther's experiences. Findings underscore the critical importance of empathetic care and robust societal support in addressing mental health challenges. By delving into Esther's experiences, the research illuminates the profound impact of understanding, compassion, and appropriate treatment on individuals struggling with mental illness. Furthermore, this analysis reveals how Plath's work continues to resonate with contemporary readers, touching on timeless themes of identity, societal expectations, and the human psyche. The study argues that "The Bell Jar" serves as a poignant exploration of mental illness and a critique of societal norms and mental health treatment in mid-20th century America. This interdisciplinary approach appeals to a broad scholarly audience interested in literature, mental health, and social history, offering insights that bridge multiple fields of study.

Abstract

This study analyzes the word formation processes in the Captain Marvel movie, aiming to identify the types and mechanisms of word formation present in the film. Employing a qualitative research method, data were gathered through repeated viewings of the movie and careful examination of its script. The analysis followed the framework proposed by Miles and Huberman (1994), involving data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings revealed 64 instances of word formation, categorized into six distinct types. These included nine examples of borrowing, 38 instances of compounding, five instances of clipping, two instances of conversion, three instances of acronyms, and five instances of derivation. Among these, compounding emerged as the most frequently used word formation process, with 38 examples identified. This research highlights the diverse linguistic features embedded in the language of Captain Marvel, with a notable emphasis on compounding as a dominant process. The study provides insights into the dynamic use of word formation in cinematic scripts and contributes to a broader understanding of language in media.

Abstract

The rapid integration of digital technologies into English Language Teaching (ELT) has significantly reshaped pedagogical practices, offering both opportunities and ethical challenges. This study reviews the philosophy of education in the digital age, with a focus on ELT approaches and the ethical concerns arising from their adoption. Three key issues are identified: accessibility and the digital divide, data privacy and security, and reduced human interaction. These challenges underscore the importance of a balanced approach to digital education that upholds equity, security, and social connection. The findings reveal that, while digital tools enhance access to educational resources, they risk excluding students from marginalized communities due to technological disparities. Similarly, the growing use of digital platforms raises concerns about the collection and misuse of sensitive student data, emphasizing the need for robust data protection measures. Additionally, the decline in human interaction within virtual learning environments may affect student motivation, engagement, and emotional well-being. Addressing these ethical challenges is crucial to ensuring that digital ELT adheres to the principles of inclusivity and fairness, fostering a more equitable and secure learning environment for all students. This review provides practical insights for educators, policymakers, and stakeholders in navigating the complexities of digital education.

Abstract

The transformative role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in language research and academic publishing has garnered significant attention in recent years. This systematic review explores the interplay among AI, language research, and academic publishing, focusing on trends, challenges, opportunities, and future directions. A total of 30 peer-reviewed articles published between 2020 to 2024 were analyzed using PRISMA guidelines to ensure comprehensive coverage. Findings reveal that AI technologies such as Natural Language Processing (NLP), machine translation, and automated peer-review systems are revolutionizing methodologies in linguistic studies and scholarly dissemination. While the adoption of AI presents numerous opportunities such as enhanced accessibility, increased efficiency, and advanced linguistic analysis it also raises challenges. Key concerns include ethical issues, data privacy, biases in AI algorithms, and resistance to adoption due to fears of over-reliance on automation. Additionally, the future of AI in these domains points to exciting possibilities, including ethical AI development, generative AI’s role in redefining authorship, and the integration of AI literacy into academic training. This review contributes to the growing discourse by mapping current trends and identifying gaps in research, offering actionable recommendations for stakeholders. It underscores the need for responsible and inclusive AI practices to harness its potential fully, ensuring sustainable advancements in language research and academic publishing.
