Abstract

Wattpad is currently not only a medium for entertainment, but has also developed as a place to convey social values, including the representation of heroic characters. One of the prominent stories is Passing Euphoria (2021), which contains characters with heroic roles that are relevant to analyze using a psychological approach. Understanding how heroes are represented in popular fiction works such as Wattpad is important to see how heroic values are constructed in today's popular culture which will be beneficial for future research in using popular fiction works for individuals who want to investigate hero archetypes. This analysis also aims to uncover the representation of heroes through a qualitative descriptive approach and hero archetype theory. Three archetypes out of twelve hero archetypes were found. They are The Innocent, Caregiver, and Warrior. This research is a descriptive qualitative research conducted by describing data obtained from quotes, dialog, and narratives to represent heroes. This research uses Carol S. Pearson's hero archetype theory. The results showed that the wattpad story Passing Euphoria (2021) depicts the hero as a strong figure, able to overcome all situations with their strength because they are optimistic and believe in their strength. This story emphasizes the importance of believing in yourself to be able to overcome all problems.

The aims of this study is to provide insight into the motivation of non-English students at various levels, which can be used as a reference for our knowledge of the elements that influence non-English students' interest and motivation in learning English courses. Non-English students often have different goals and do not prioritize learning English in the same way as English students, who are more likely to have strong motivation and a methodical approach to learning the language. By looking at these issues, this study hopes to find information that can be used to modify English language teaching strategies to better suit their needs and improve language learning outcomes. This study uses quantitative, involving systematic data collection and analysis to measure the level of motivation among Non-English language students used in learning their English language courses. This quantitative research method includes questionnaires to collect data, followed by statistical analysis to draw conclusions and make inferences about the variables studied. From the results was founded that internal factors indicate that many students prioritize English proficiency for both academic and professional objectives, establish goals, and feel confident in their ability to improve. Their intrinsic motivation is also influenced by their enjoyment of English learning activities, such as practicing and completing assignments, demonstrating a favorable relationship between learning methodologies and personal objectives in English acquisition. Then, external factors, the data shows that students' enthusiasm to learn English is greatly increased by external variables including peer support, efficient teaching strategies, and readily available resources.

Abstract

This conceptual article provides a synthesized analysis of Indonesia's English Language Policy (ELP) and its implementation over the last decade (2013-2023), building upon prior scholarship and extending to the recent Merdeka Curriculum. By drawing on existing research, policy documents, and evaluations of English Language Teaching (ELT), this study conceptualizes key trends, persistent challenges, and evolving strategies within Indonesia's English education landscape. It examines the interplay between national language policies, curriculum shifts, pedagogical innovations, and the practical realities of ELT across diverse Indonesian contexts. The analysis critically evaluates the conceptual underpinnings of policies aimed at fostering global citizenship and intercultural competence through English. It also addresses systemic implementation issues such as teacher preparedness, resource disparities (urban-rural), and the need for standardized assessment frameworks, which currently hinder the intended student-centered approach of the Merdeka Curriculum. Conceptually, this synthesis highlights a discernible gap between policy design and practical application. It identifies critical areas demanding attention, including enhancing teacher capacity to align with the Merdeka Curriculum, ensuring equitable resource distribution, and establishing robust assessment mechanisms. Framed within stages of policy analysis, the article suggests that while policy formulation has progressed, a deeper conceptual understanding and more effective strategies for implementation and evaluation are crucial. Ultimately, this conceptual synthesis underscores the necessity for a more nuanced and conceptually sound approach to policy implementation and evaluation to achieve the ELP's objectives of equitable and high-quality English language education in Indonesia. The article also proposes key conceptual considerations for future policy development and research directions, including longitudinal studies, comparative analyses, and innovations in teacher professional development.

Abstract

This study aims to identify the types of figurative language used by lecturers in teaching English, determine the most frequently used types, and understand the purpose behind their use. The subjects of the study were English lecturers who taught the second semester Speaking course and the fourth semester TOEFL Preparation class. Data analyzed using qualitative content analysis through , coding, thematic analysis, interpretation, and validation with triangulation were collected through classroom observation and semi-structured interview. The findings of the study indicate that lecturers use various types of figurative language, including Metaphor, Personification, Metonymy, Antonomasia, Hypalas, Irony, Satire, and Antiphrasis. Metaphor as the most dominant, because it effectively conveys abstract ideas in an imaginative way. Less frequent types such as Antonomasia and Hypalase appear situationally. The results of the study indicate that the main purpose of lecturers using figurative language in English learning teaching is to improve students' understanding and provide motivation to students. This study concludes that figurative language plays an important role in teaching English. Future researcher should suggest that lecturers integrate the use of figurative language consciously into their teaching strategies and further research can involve more lecturers and institutions to broaden understanding of the impact of the use of figurative language on student learning outcomes.

Abstract

This study investigates the extent to which Direct Written Corrective Feedback (DWCF) enhances the writing accuracy of senior high school students in Indonesia. Drawing from a qualitative case study involving three students of varying proficiency (low, average, and high) at SMK Negeri 1 Muara Wahau, this research examines (1) the types of linguistic errors found in student recount compositions and (2) how DWCF helped students improve across different grammatical features. The findings revealed six error types—related to nouns, verbs, tenses, conjunctions, adverbs, and adjectives—with DWCF proving especially effective in aiding higher-proficiency learners. These results highlight DWCF's pedagogical relevance and suggest differentiated applications based on student needs to improve writing competence in EFL classrooms. DWCF significantly reduced errors among higher?proficiency students, whereas low?proficiency learners showed partial improvement. Pedagogical implications emphasize differentiated feedback strategies and revision cycles.
