Abstract

This study investigates University students' perceptions of the machine translation tool DeepL in the context of learning English as Foreign Language (EFL). The main objective was to explore the frequency of use with the tool through the TAM Theory. Using a descriptive qualitative research approach, the purpose of sampling was used to select four university EFL students, who were categorized as frequent and infrequent users of DeepL. Data was collected through semi-structured interviews, and questionnaires. The results showed that frequent users of DeepL appreciated its effectiveness in vocabulary acquisition, translation accuracy, and academic writing support. In contrast, infrequent users expressed concerns about limitations such as the lack of a paraphrasing feature and the formality issues. These findings highlight significant differences in user experience based on frequency of use and the need for further research with larger and more diverse samples to validate these results. Recommendations for future research include incorporating feedback from users to improve functionality and meet the evolving needs of EFL learners. This research contributes to the understanding of the role of machine translation technology in language learning and offers insights for future research.

Abstract

This article discusses women's subversive strategies against patriarchy in two modern thriller novels, Where the Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens and Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn, using feminist theory with The Madwoman in the Attic as the basis of analysis. This article focuses on how the patriarchal conditions in the two novels give rise to subversive strategies of the female characters in the two novels that represent women and how they impact on the two novels. Based on the text analysis, Amy Dunne uses narrative manipulation and idealized female imagery to assert language as a tool of liberation and reverse power, while Kya Clark uses self-reliance and connection to nature to resist patriarchy and construct an identity beyond social norms. These strategies create complex tensions and conflicts that challenge stereotypes of passive women and present women as creative, empowered and active agents. In summary, these two novels demonstrate that women's resistance to patriarchy can be realized in unique and extreme ways, changing the meaning of women in contemporary literature and enhancing gender dynamics in the thriller genre.

Abstract

This study examines the use of English slang by Jay and Jake from Enhypen during their guest appearance on Eric Nam’s Daebak Show Podcast. Employing a descriptive qualitative approach, it investigates the morphological forms, semantic shifts, and pragmatic-social functions of slang terms used in the podcast. The primary data comes from the episode titled “ENHYPEN’s JAY & JAKE had ‘FATE’ to join Eric Nam | DAEBAK SHOW S3 EP12,” released on August 8th, with a duration of 52 minutes. The analysis focuses on spontaneous, informal English expressions from the idols, revealing how slang terms such as "gotta," "kinda," and "vibe" signal group membership and a sense of belonging among youth and fans. This research demonstrates that slang functions not only as a tool for informal communication but also as a form of emotional expression and a means of establishing social identity and relatability within a global audience. The study emphasizes how slang reflects contemporary youth culture and the impact of media platforms in shaping language use. A total of 12 distinct slang terms were identified, several of which served multiple linguistic functions across three analytical categories, resulting in 14 instances of categorized usage. While the sample is limited to two speakers in a single episode, the focused analysis offers valuable insights into language use among K-Pop idols. This research contributes not only to understanding the role of informal linguistic practices in cross-cultural communication but also offers practical insights for English language teaching (ELT), such as integrating contextualized slang into classroom instruction, as well as for media discourse analysis and studies of global youth identity in digital environments.

Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the English language teaching program integrated into the Mata Kuliah Karakter Unggul (MKKU) at Universitas Subang using the CIPP (Context, Input, Process, Product) evaluation model developed by Stufflebeam. Employing a descriptive qualitative approach, the study involved data collection through interviews, questionnaires, observations, and documentation. The findings revealed that the English program aligns well with the university’s character education framework and supports the development of students’ global competencies. The context evaluation indicated that students perceived strong alignment between the course content and the vision and mission of their study programs, as well as its relevance to future professional needs. The input evaluation showed that lecturers possess competencies aligned with their fields of expertise and that learning media were generally supportive, although digital media utilization remains inconsistent. The process evaluation highlighted improvements in students’ English proficiency, character formation, and readiness to face global challenges. The product evaluation confirmed positive outcomes in student engagement, character reinforcement, and oral communication confidence. Despite these strengths, students suggested improvements in speaking and listening activities, interactive learning methods, feedback mechanisms, and access to instructional resources. The study concludes that while the program is effectively structured, continuous enhancement in pedagogical strategies and infrastructure is essential to maximize its impact.

Abstract

This study aims to probe the effectiveness of the Memrise operation in perfecting vocabulary mastery among seventh- grade students at SMPN 2 Susoh. exercising a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design, the exploration involved two groups an experimental group comprising 26 students who entered vocabulary instruction using Memrise, and a control group of 28 students who were tutored through conventional styles. Data were collected through pre-tests and post-tests conforming of 20 multiple- choice particulars designed to assess students’ vocabulary mastery ahead and after the treatment. The results of the independent samples t- test revealed a statistically significant difference between the post-test scores of the two groups, with the experimental group achieving a advanced mean score 85.00 compared to the control group 66.61, and a significance value of p = 0.000( p< 0.05). These findings indicate that the Memrise operation has a substantial positive impact on students’ vocabulary accession. The study suggests that integrating mobile- assisted language literacy (Boardwalk) tools similar as Memrise can enhance students’ provocation, engagement, and retention in vocabulary literacy. Its interactive and tone- paced literacy features make it a precious pedagogical tool for English language instruction, particularly in secondary education. preceptors are encouraged to borrow technology- grounded media to support effective vocabulary development in the classroom.

Abstract

In the era of globalized higher education, effective English communication has become essential for academic professionals, including those from non-English disciplines. Nevertheless, non-English lecturers frequently face obstacles in developing spoken proficiency due to limited opportunities for practice, elevated anxiety levels, and inadequate access to formal language training. This case study investigates the use of WhatsApp voice notes as a pedagogical tool to support English-speaking development among non-English lecturers at a private university in Indonesia. Over a six-week intervention, seven lecturers from diverse academic backgrounds participated in structured voice-based tasks and engaged in asynchronous peer interactions via WhatsApp. Data were collected through voice recordings, semi-structured interviews, and reflective journals. Findings indicate that the use of WhatsApp voice notes created a flexible, low-pressure environment conducive to gradual improvements in fluency and communicative confidence. Participants reported reduced speaking anxiety, increased willingness to engage in English, and greater clarity in articulating academic ideas. Moreover, peer feedback and interaction fostered a sense of community and collaborative learning. This study contributes to the Mobile-Assisted Language Learning (MALL) literature by illustrating the potential of widely accessible, low-cost digital tools to facilitate oral language development among professional adult learners. The implications extend to language policy, faculty development, and the design of scalable speaking interventions within higher education institutions

Abstract

Academic writing is a crucial component of university education, yet it remains one of the most challenging skills for EFL students. This study investigates the perceptions of English Department students at IAIN Kerinci regarding the challenges they face in academic writing. Using a mixed-method approach, the research involved four undergraduate students who had completed academic writing courses in previous semesters. Data were collected through writing performance tests and semi-structured interviews. The quantitative findings indicate that students performed well in content (average score: 7.5) but struggled significantly with writing coherence (4.5). Vocabulary and grammar showed standard capability (6.875 and 6.25). The qualitative results revealed deeper challenges, including difficulties in constructing coherent paragraphs, selecting appropriate vocabulary, applying complex grammar structures, and managing writing anxiety. Contributing factors included lack of motivation, limited reading habits, and insufficient exposure to academic texts. Furthermore, students emphasized the importance of feedback from lecturers and self-reflection as key strategies for development. The findings suggest that while students may be confident in generating ideas, they require more support in expressing those ideas effectively through structured, cohesive academic writing. This study contributes to the field by highlighting the need for integrating linguistic, motivational, and strategic instruction in EFL academic writing contexts.

Abstract

This study investigates the utilization of mood and speech functions in the dialogues of the romantic musical movie La La Land (2016). Employing a qualitative descriptive method, the research focused on identifying and analyzing different types of Mood (declarative, interrogative, imperative) and Speech Functions (expressive, directive, referential, metalinguistic, poetic, phatic) within selected dialogues of the main characters. Data were collected through meticulous observation and transcription of movie dialogues, followed by systematic classification and interpretation based on Halliday & Matthiessen’s (2014) and Holmes’ (2013) frameworks. The findings reveal that the Declarative Mood is the most dominant mood type, accounting for 10 out of 15 total mood instances. This prevalence suggests that characters frequently engage in conveying information about their feelings, experiences, and plot developments. Concurrently, the Referential function emerged as the most dominant speech function, with 8 out of 27 total speech functions. This indicates a primary focus on providing information, describing events, and stating facts essential for advancing the narrative and establishing context within the film's dialogues. The study highlights how these linguistic elements contribute to the emotional delivery and narrative messages of La La Land, offering insights into the complex interplay between language, character dynamics, and thematic exploration in musical movies.

Abstract

This study explored how integrating fake news deconstruction, narrative reframing, and editorial simulation enhanced critical media ethics in EFL classrooms. Moving beyond conventional language instruction, it positioned English learning as a site of ideological negotiation and epistemic responsibility. Thirty education students as teacher candidates in North Sumatra engaged in an eight-week task-based curriculum analyzing ethically problematic texts drawn from real-world media. Guided by systemic functional linguistics, critical discourse analysis, and appraisal theory, students rewrote distorted headlines, clarified vague attributions, and reconstructed visual-caption misalignments. Findings revealed that students developed rhetorical precision, ethical awareness, and stylistic maturity, transforming from passive consumers into critical and active media agents. By combining language learning with civic literacy, this study proposed a replicable model for ethical pedagogy in digital times, foregrounding truth-validation, genre critique, and linguistic agency as core components of 21st-century EFL education.

Abstract

Pragmatics is essential for understanding implied meaning beyond literal language in cinematic dialogues, providing valuable insights into character interaction and story development. This study explores the deliberate flouting of the maxim of relevance, based on Grice’s (1975) Cooperative Principle, in the animated film Inside Out 2. Using a qualitative descriptive method, data were collected through careful observation and verbatim transcription of 58 dialogue exchanges. Among these, 21 instances of maxim of relevance flouting were identified, with eight selected for detailed examination. The analysis reveals that these pragmatic strategies serve to express hidden meanings, regulate emotions, and navigate complex interpersonal relationships between characters. These communicative choices uncover psychological depth and enhance both character development and plot progression. Uniquely, this research contributes to pragmatic theory by examining conversational relevance manipulation within animation, expanding film studies scholarship. The findings also offer practical implications for language education and media analysis by demonstrating how pragmatic competence enriches understanding of dialogue in multimedia contexts.
