Abstract

The integration of digital media in English language learning has provided new opportunities to support students’ vocabulary development, particularly through audio-visual materials. One potential medium is Disney animated movies, which offer authentic language use, visual context, and engaging storylines. This study aims to explore students’ perceptions on Disney animated movies as self-directed vocabulary learning media. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed involving 22 ninth-grade students of MTsN 2 Jember. Data were collected through classroom observations, open-ended questionnaires, and semi-structured interviews. The data were analyzed using the Miles, Huberman, and Saldana model, consisting of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing, supported by technique and source triangulation. The findings reveal that students generally hold positive perceptions of Disney animated movies, perceiving them as interesting, enjoyable, easily accessible, and helpful in understanding vocabulary through visual context, improving pronunciation, increasing learning motivation, and supporting independent learning. However, several negative perceptions were also identified, including difficulties in understanding fast-spoken dialogues, reliance on subtitles, limited focus due to distractions, and technical problems such as unstable internet connections and unclear audio quality. This study concludes that Disney animated movies have strong potential as self-directed vocabulary learning media when accompanied by appropriate guidance and learning strategies.

Abstract

Teaching vocabulary plays a fundamental role in English language learning, particularly in contexts where English is taught as a foreign language. Many students still experience difficulties in understanding and remembering English vocabulary due to limited exposure and low learning motivation. Therefore, teachers are required to use appropriate and engaging learning media to support vocabulary learning. Flashcards are visual learning media that can help students understand word meanings more easily and increase their participation in the classroom. This research aims to explore the use of flashcards in teaching English vocabulary at Ban Buketamong School, Narathiwat, Thailand. This study employed a descriptive qualitative research design involving one English teacher and 19 eighth grade students. The data were collected through classroom observations, interviews, and document review. To ensure data validity, source triangulation and technique triangulation were applied. The findings showed that the teacher planned flashcard based instruction by preparing lesson plans, selecting relevant vocabulary materials, designing teacher made laminated flashcards, and organizing learning activities. The implementation emphasized clear learning goals, vocabulary related to daily activities and nature, and systematic procedures including introduction, practice, and review stages. Evaluation was conducted through formative assessment during classroom interaction and summative assessment using picture based quizzes.

Abstract

Environmental problems such as deforestation, pollution, and climate change require educational strategies rooted in both ethical and spiritual values. This study explores the presence of ecotheological values in English education materials used in senior high schools in Indonesia. Employing a qualitative content analysis approach, the research examines English textbooks used nationally in Indonesia to identify themes related to environmental stewardship, ethical responsibility toward nature, and spiritual engagement with the environment. The findings reveal that environmental issues are only addressed in the second-grade English textbook, while the theological values here are largely implicit and rarely emphasized. Most texts present environmental content from scientific or practical perspectives, with limited integration of theological or ethical frameworks. This suggests an opportunity to foster ecological awareness and character development through English education. The study recommends a more intentional inclusion of ecotheological values in English language teaching to support holistic environmental education aligned with national character-building goals. By embedding ecotheological values, English learning can serve not only linguistic development but also moral and environmental consciousness. This integration may also strengthen the relevance of English education to local cultural and religious contexts.

Abstract

This research is motivated by the strong representation of trauma and the construction of female identity in Sylvia Plath's poems, which are often discussed in literary studies, literary psychology, and even feminist criticism. This study aims to analyse how stylistic elements in the poems ‘Daddy’ and ‘Lady Lazarus’ are used to present traumatic experiences, female identity crises, and resistance to patriarchal domination. The method used is descriptive qualitative through in-depth reading of diction, metaphors, imagery, repetition, and symbols enriched by trauma theory, literary psychology, and stylistics. The results of this study are expected to show that the poem ‘Daddy’ reveals deep trauma through extreme metaphors such as Nazis, death, and wounds, while the poem ‘Lady Lazarus’ describes the resurrection of female characters through irony, repetition, and body imagery arranged as symbols of the healing process. Both poems show that poetic language becomes a space for the poet to voice traumatic experiences while simultaneously reconstructing the identity of women who were once constrained by the patriarchal system.

Abstract

Slang constitutes an important linguistic feature in American popular culture. In informal interaction, slang often functions more effectively than standard or conventional English because it allows speakers to express intimacy, solidarity, humour, and group identity. This study aims to identify and classify the characteristics of slang words and phrases found in the dialogues of the film Monsters University (2013), associated with Dan Scanlon, Dan Gerson, and Robert L. Baird. This research employed a qualitative method with a descriptive approach. The data source was the movie script of Monsters University (2013), while the data consisted of slang words and phrases occurring in the characters' dialogues. The procedures of data analysis involved observation, identification, classification, description, and conclusion drawing. The analysis was based on Andersson and Trudgill's (1990) classification of slang characteristics, namely neutral syntax, informal situation, spoken language, and creativity. The findings show that 32 slang items were identified in the film. These items consist of 9 words or phrases categorized as neutral syntax, 11 words or phrases categorized as informal situation, 7 words or phrases categorized as spoken language, and 5 words or phrases categorized as creative forms. These findings indicate that slang in animated film dialogue contributes to the construction of natural, humorous, and youth-oriented interaction, while also strengthening characterization and social identity among speakers.. Key Words: slang, American slang, sociolinguistics, film dialogue, Monsters University

Abstract

يشهد تعليم اللغة العربية في العصر الرقمي تحولا ملحوظا نتيجة التطور السريع في تكنولوجيا التعليم. فقد أسهمت الوسائط الرقمية، والمنصات التعليمية الإلكترونية، والتطبيقات التفاعلية، والذكاء الاصطناعي في تطوير أساليب تعليم اللغة العربية، وجعلها أكثر جاذبية ومرونة وفاعلية. يهدف هذا المقال إلى مناقشة تطور التكنولوجيا في تعليم اللغة العربية من خلال إبراز أشكال الابتكار، والتحديات التي تواجه المعلمين والمتعلمين، والفرص المتاحة في البيئة الرقمية. ومن أبرز التحديات ضعف البنية التحتية، وتفاوت الكفاءة الرقمية لدى المعلمين، وقلة المحتوى التعليمي العربي التفاعلي المناسب. ومع ذلك، توفر التكنولوجيا فرصا واسعة لتحسين مهارات الاستماع والكلام والقراءة والكتابة، وتعزيز التعلم الذاتي، وتوسيع الوصول إلى مصادر تعلم اللغة العربية. ويؤكد المقال أن التكنولوجيا ليست بديلا عن دور المعلم، بل وسيلة داعمة تسهم في تحسين جودة تعليم اللغة العربية إذا تم توظيفها بصورة تربوية مناسبة. الكلمات المفتاحية: تكنولوجيا التعليم، تعليم اللغة العربية، العصر الرقمي، الابتكار، التعلم الإلكتروني ABSTRACT   Arabic language learning in the digital era has experienced significant transformation due to the rapid development of educational technology. Digital media, online learning platforms, interactive applications, and artificial intelligence have contributed to improving Arabic teaching methods, making learning more attractive, flexible, and effective. This article discusses the development of technology in Arabic language education by highlighting innovations, challenges, and opportunities in the digital learning environment. The main challenges include limited infrastructure, uneven digital competence among teachers, and the lack of appropriate interactive Arabic learning content. However, technology offers broad opportunities to improve listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills, support independent learning, and expand access to Arabic learning resources. This article emphasizes that technology should not replace the role of teachers but should function as a supportive tool to enhance the quality of Arabic language learning when applied appropriately and pedagogically.

Abstract

Songs, as an artistic form that expresses emotions and experiences, often reflect culture and profound meanings through their lyrics. This study analyzes the lyrics of the song “Kalam Eineh” by Sherine Abdel Wahab using Ferdinand de Saussure’s semiotic theory, which focuses on denotative and connotative meanings. This research aims to reveal how the song lyrics represent the meaning of love, both literally and implicitly, as well as how social and cultural contexts influence their interpretation. The research method used is a descriptive qualitative approach, with data collection techniques in the form of document analysis and in-depth observation of the song lyrics. The findings show that the lyrics portray love as sacrifice, sincerity, and deep openness, strengthened by cultural symbols and personal emotions. This analysis confirms that the meaning of song lyrics is not limited to verbal communication, but also serves as a reflection of universal values and experiences.

Abstract

This study examines the implementation of the giving-opinion strategy in teaching Arabic speaking skills to members of the Arabic Language Division of the Institute of Culture and Islamic Studies (ICIS) at Kiai Haji Achmad Siddiq State Islamic University of Jember. It aims to describe the stages of its implementation and identify the supporting and inhibiting factors affecting the process. The study employed a descriptive qualitative approach with a case-study design. Data were collected from the head of the institute, the head of the Arabic Language Division, the advanced-class instructor, and five advanced-class members through non-participant observation, semi-structured interviews, and document analysis. The data were analyzed through data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing. Their credibility was established through source and technique triangulation and member checking. The findings indicate that the strategy was implemented through several interrelated stages: determining topics and learning objectives, introducing relevant vocabulary and expressions, providing linguistic models, preparing opinions in written form, presenting them orally through discussions, speeches, and academic debates, and conducting correction and evaluation. The main supporting factors included the instructor’s guidance, varied speaking activities, a supportive language environment, and peer support. The inhibiting factors consisted of limited vocabulary, low self-confidence, fear of making mistakes, insufficient speaking practice, differences in learners’ abilities, and limited instructional time. The study concludes that the giving-opinion strategy provides a gradual communicative framework for speaking practice; however, its successful implementation requires adequate linguistic preparation, equitable participation, and continuous practice both inside and outside formal learning sessions.
