Abstract

Digital storytelling (DST) has emerged as a powerful pedagogical tool in enhancing students’ speaking abilities, particularly in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) contexts. This study explores the implementation of DST in a vocational high school in Cianjur, Indonesia, using a qualitative case study approach. Data were collected through classroom observations and interviews with students to examine how DST influences their narrative speaking skills. The findings revealed that DST engages students actively through multimedia elements, improves their pronunciation and fluency, and boosts their speaking confidence. However, the study also identifies key challenges, including limited English proficiency, lack of confidence, and inadequate school facilities. The results indicate that while DST has strong potential in language learning, its success heavily depends on students’ foundational English skills and the availability of supporting infrastructure. The study concludes with suggestions for improving DST implementation in EFL classrooms, including increased training, better access to digital tools, and targeted support for speaking proficiency.

Abstract

This study examines the vocabulary profile of EFL students’ written artifacts, produced as part of writing assignments during the early stage of their academic writing courses. Fourteen texts written by seven students were analyzed using the Lextutor Vocabulary Profiler. The analysis focused on frequency bands including K1, K2, the Academic Word List (AWL), and Off-list words. The findings revealed that both genres were heavily dominated by K1 words, with recount texts showing a higher percentage (79.26%) than descriptive texts (74.16%). Descriptive texts exhibited greater lexical variation, reflected in their higher proportions of AWL words (5.76% vs. 1.86%) and Off-list items (13.71% vs. 10.00%). Meanwhile, recount texts contained more K2 words (8.89%) than descriptive ones (6.37%). These findings suggest that recount texts tend to rely on basic narrative vocabulary, while descriptive texts invite more diverse lexical choices, including academic and culturally specific terms. The overall underuse of academic vocabulary across both genres points to the need for explicit, genre-sensitive vocabulary instruction. Pedagogically, the results support integrating vocabulary profiling into EFL writing instruction to guide differentiated teaching, foster morphological awareness, and promote genre-appropriate lexical development.

Abstract

Feminist stylistic analysis of song lyrics can reveal how gender and power relations are represented in music. This research uses observation methods in collecting data by note-taking techniques. The analysis of transitivity choices using Halliday's systemic functional grammar theory can provide a deeper perspective on the relationship between language structure and meaning in the context of feminist song lyrics. The song aims to talk about a strong feminist message, permeating the narrative of gender inequality in society. The highlight of the song which is also the key reason for the stigma and stereotypes that arise in the society was found through the technique of portraying women's experience and their comparison with men's experiences in the community and because this through the desire to "be a man" the song wants to convey the message of gender equality.

Abstract

This paper aimed to examine the unfair treatment and inequality among women by using and assessing the racial, class, and gender perspectives. It also demonstrated the intersectional discrimination against women, and how it brought the oppression and subordination of women in the private and public spheres, which can be characterized as violations of basic human rights and obstacles to the attainment of women™s equality, development, and integrity. In order to further demonstrate the intersectional discrimination against women, the researchers took The Help as a case study to compare various oppressive situations of White middle-class and African-American women and depict how the multiple and overlapped forms of oppression and structural discrimination should be taken into consideration to address the intersectional discriminations against women, particularly African American women. This study adopted latent-content analysis, including primary and secondary resources, as a qualitative method to facilitate analysis of underlying content. The study further concentrated on the diverse perspectives of women to observe various forms of discrimination and examine how the intersectionality of race, class, and gender affects their experiences and conditions of being discriminated. While reflecting upon the discrimination and oppression of the underprivileged genders, races and social classes, readers may manage to deconstruct the œintersectionality and better empathize with those who are marginalized.

Abstract

Reading is very important; therefore, a good and interesting teaching reading strategy is necessary. The objective of this study was to find out the effect of the use of partner-reading strategy toward students' reading comprehension. The study used quantitative research with quasi-experimental non-equivalent group design. This study used the tenth-grade students of SMKN 1 Kragilan as the population. The groups were put into control and experimental groups; each group consisted of 30 students. The reading test was used as the instrument of this research (pre-test and post-test). The data were analyzed using normality, homogeneity, and hypothesis tests (t-test). Data analysis revealed that the calculated t was higher than the value of t-table from 0.05 level of significance and degree freedom (df) 58 of two-tailed test. That was 3,87 ≥ 2,00. It means that the null hypothesis (H0) was rejected and the alternative hypothesis (Ha) was accepted. It indicated that there was an effect of the use of partner-reading strategy toward students' reading comprehension. From these findings, it can be concluded that partner-reading strategy can be one of reading strategies that can be implemented by the teacher to help students to improve their reading comprehension.
