Abstract

This research investigated the impact of Kahoot on students' participation and reading ability in ELT classrooms. Conventional teaching methods were found to be ineffective, leading to low student engagement and poor reading scores. By incorporating Kahoot, the experimental group demonstrated significantly higher levels of participation and improved reading performance compared to the control group. These findings highlight the potential of Kahoot by applying a mixed-method type, quasi-experiment research design (quantitative research – t-test) and (qualitative research – observation and questionnaire). The results of the students’ participation in the control class were 2.33 with a low degree level. Whereas the results of students’ participation in the experimental class were 4.37 with a high degree level. Statistical test to determine whether there is an impact of using Kahoot on students’ participation and reading ability through an independent sample t-test using SPSS 25. As a result, Kahoot effectively enhances students' reading ability with a mean of  75.94. It means that the experimental class students' scores in reading ability are in a good category. The score of  Kahoot questionnaire in the experimental class with a mean of 4.61 with a high degree level.

Abstract

One of the most important skills in studying English, particularly for EFL students, is writing recount texts. However, a lot of students struggle to grasp the components needed to write the texts. With the focus on linguistic and structural components, this study investigates difficulties faced by tenth-grade students at SMA Al Fusha Kedungwuni when producing recount texts. Furthermore, it examined how students perceive these difficulties and how their perspectives correspond with the understanding of the writing process. A mixed-methods technique was used in the study, which combined an analysis of the students' recount texts with a survey of their perceptions. The text reveals that students face structural and linguistic difficulties in writing recount texts. Structural difficulties include unclear chronological order, inadequate orientation, unclear events, weak or missing reorientation, and difficulty managing length and detail. Linguistic difficulties include tense usage, vocabulary choice, cohesion, grammar, sentence structure, spelling, and punctuation. Students' perceptions show sufficient engagement with critical stages of the writing process, such as planning and revising. However, self-reported data may introduce bias, as students may not accurately assess their own difficulties. This highlights a gap between self-awareness and actual performance in writing recount texts. The findings suggest the need for teachers to emphasize their teaching on recount text structure, incorporating activities to strengthen understanding. In addition, students should master past tense grammatical rules and practice changingpresent tense to past tense. Curriculum developers should emphasize the writing process, provide detailed explanations, and integrate grammar instruction.

Abstract

As educators, lecturers should integrate sufficient reading materials that could foster not only students’ reading comprehension, critical thinking, or vocabulary mastery, but also local wisdom awareness. Thus, this research focuses on integrating local wisdom, Berau Folklore, into English learning. Specifically, this research aims to: (1) describe the planning stage for using Berau folklore to enhance student’s awareness about local wisdom, (2) explain its use in English practice and media preparation, (3) explain the assessment process, and (4) evaluate its effectiveness as reading material. This study employs exploratory sequential mixed method design. The instruments used were interview, classroom observation, document analysis, and tests. The interview was constructed based on the theory of Bamford and Day (2004) whereas the observation was adopted and modified from Ferdila (2014). The pre-test and post-test were given to 15 tertiary students at STITM Tanjung Redeb, Berau who took the  Extensive Reading class. The implementation of Berau folklore into reading class, involved the stages of pre-reading, while-reading, and post-reading. However, the tests scores indicate that the use of Berau Folklore is considered ineffective as reading materials for tertiary students. Particularly, it did not significantly increase students’ vocabulary. Thus, this study can be a reference for further researchers to find and employ another learning material other than folklore to foster students’ vocabulary mastery and cultural awareness.

Abstract

The massive use of the internet in Indonesia is followed by the use of social media. This gave birth to a new phenomenon among its users, the creativity of making memes. Memes in the form of images or videos are defined as ideas, behaviors or styles that spread from one person to another through social media which become a vehicle for entertainment due to their funny and parodic nature. Humor in memes can occur because speakers are flouting Grice's Cooperative Principle. This study aims to describe how the flouting maxim in PunHubOnline memes and how the strategy used to produce implicature. The results show that these funny memes are generated by flouting Grice's maxim where exaggeration or under-statement is often created through the implicature of flouting the maxim. Flouting of Quantity maxims often occurs because the information provided contains more and less, while in flouting of quality maxims it often occurs due to several strategies namely hyperbole, metaphor, Irony and Banter. Flouting of relevance maxims also occurs when the conversation in the meme contains irrelevant conversations between speakers and speech partners. In addition, flouting maxim of manner often occurs due to being obscure in the conversation in the meme.

Abstract

The translation of non-academic texts as movie subtitles has its level of complexity, so translation errors often occur. An assessment is needed to maintain the quality of the translation of movie subtitles. Thus, the researchers were interested in investigating the translation quality of movie subtitles by analyzing the level of accuracy, acceptability, and readability in the translation of The Hounds of Baskerville movie subtitles. The study applieda qualitative approach using a descriptive method. The data consisted of English and Indonesian subtitle transcripts of The Hounds of Baskerville movie and the results of the research questionnaire. The research questionnaire was filled by raters whoare a graduate of an English education/English literature study program, and experienced in translating non-fiction texts. This study applied the translation quality assessment model by Nababan (2012). From the results of the assessment of each aspect, a weighting obtained score of 2.2, indicated that the translated text was less accurate, less acceptable, and less readable for the target audience. This finding underscores the importance of balancing those three criteria in a translation. It can encourage those working in the translation and subtitling industry to create subtitles that are accurate, accessible to a wide range of audiences, and culturally relevant.

Abstract

This research investigates the use of language power by male and female characters in the movie Before Sunrise, directed by Richard Linklater. Utilizing Text-Oriented Discourse Analysis (TODA) in qualitative analysis, the study examines how Jesse and Celine assert language power, as categorized by Wareing (1999), through their language features, as identified by Lakoff (1975). The research aims to uncover patterns of language use that reflect gendered communication and power dynamics within the film. It explores the differences in the aims of language features utilization to assert power exhibited by the characters. The findings indicate that the linguistic features used by Jesse and Celine serve different goals, leading to shifts in power dynamics and promoting communicative strategies that support gender equality. These findings contrast with Ardener's muted group theory, which posits that marginalized groups, particularly women, often have their voices suppressed. In Before Sunrise, Celine's portrayal as a strong, independent, and assertive character challenges this notion by demonstrating that women can and do exercise significant language power. These insights contribute to a deeper understanding of how language functions as a tool for power assertion within cinematic contexts, offering perspectives on gendered communication patterns and the representation of language power in movie as the product of contemporary literature.
