Abstract

This article aims to review the literature on integrating poetry in English language learning (ELT) and evaluate how this can enhance linguistic and aesthetic appreciation among students. It seeks to identify the benefits, challenges, as well as best practices in the use of poetry as a pedagogical tool in ELT. This review used a systematic literature search method with databases such as Google Scholar, Mendeley, Science Direct, Taylor & Francis Online and other academic journals, using keywords such as “poetry in ELT”, “linguistic appreciation”, and “aesthetic appreciation”. Articles were selected based on strict inclusion and exclusion criteria and then analyzed qualitatively to identify key themes and findings. The findings show that integrating poetry in ELT provides some significant benefits, including increased vocabulary, grammatical understanding, and phonological awareness. In addition, poetry also enriches students' aesthetic experience, enhances cultural appreciation, and promotes emotional engagement and creativity. However, challenges such as teachers' lack of preparedness and limited teaching materials require further attention. The use of poetry in ELT has great potential to enrich students' learning experiences both linguistically and aesthetically. The practical implications for teaching and curriculum development are extensive, and further research is needed to address the existing challenges and explore more effective teaching strategies.

Abstract

This study examines the effectiveness of contextual guessing strategies in enhancing reading comprehension among Indonesian pre-university EFL students in Parepare. The research targeted students preparing for university entrance exams, employing a mixed-methods approach with a quantitative-driven design. A purposive sampling technique selected 30 pre-university students from various high schools in Parepare. Quantitative analysis of multiple-choice test scores before and after a targeted intervention, which trained students to use contextual clues (e.g., roots, prefixes, and suffixes) to infer meanings of unfamiliar words, demonstrated a significant improvement in reading comprehension (t(29) = 12.24, p < 0.05). Qualitative insights from interviews with these students revealed increased confidence, practical relevance, and engagement with texts. Students reported that these strategies helped them approach reading tasks analytically, manage their time effectively during exams, and reduce reliance on dictionaries. The findings underscore the critical role of contextual guessing strategies in EFL instruction, promoting effective reading skills and academic success for pre-university students in Indonesia. Integrating these strategies into the curriculum can substantially enhance reading comprehension and exam performance.

Abstract

This study analyzes the ego defense mechanisms as well as the possessiveness and manipulative behavior of the character Jacqueline de Bellefort in the novel Death on the Nile by Agatha Christie. Jacqueline is shown as a character who is obsessed with her former fiancé, Simon Doyle, and exhibits extremely possessive and manipulative behavior after she marries Linnet Ridgeway. This study uses data analysis of qualitative research with text-oriented approach. Using psychoanalytic theory by Sigmund Freud, this study explores how Jacqueline uses ego defense mechanisms such as rationalization, projection, denial, and regression to deal with jealousy and rejection. The research reveals that Jacqueline's manipulative and possessive actions are a result of her internal conflict and inability to deal with her emotional reality, which ultimately drives her to extreme measures. The analysis is designed to provide broad understanding of Jacqueline De Bellefort and how she lives in defense mechanism.

Abstract

This research aims to describe teacher purposes, investigate teacher methods, and explain teacher scoring practices in EFL classrooms. The study employs a descriptive quantitative design, collecting data through checklist and observational analyses using Google Forms. The subjects comprise EFL teachers from senior high schools and vocational schools in the Pinrang region. Results reveal that teachers utilize multifaceted assessment practices for interconnected purposes: monitoring student progress, providing feedback, motivating learning, guiding instruction, facilitating differentiation, ensuring accountability, and reporting outcomes transparently. This underscores assessment's vital role in enhancing learning environments and informing teaching decisions. EFL teachers evaluate language proficiency across skills through varied assessments, including instructor-made tests, student tasks, and standardized exams. This approach enables comprehensive insights into students' abilities while addressing individual needs. Scoring practices demonstrate a commitment to fairness, consistency, and comprehensiveness, utilizing rubrics, clear instructions, and balanced evaluation of cognitive, affective, and psychomotor domains. The findings highlight educators' strategic use of assessment purposes and methods to continually improve teaching and learning processes, supporting students' language development. This research contributes to understanding EFL assessment practices in Indonesian secondary education, offering insights for teacher training and educational policy development.
