Abstract

Artificial intelligence allows a person to converse with machines, computers or robots. Chatbots are an application that you can talk to like you would talk to a human. Chatbots can be a tool to practice the language learned anywhere and anytime. In order to improve students' communication skills in English, researchers conducted research on the use of artificial intelligence Chatbots applications in learning English courses in the PKh Department for the 2020/2021 academic year. This study uses a descriptive method to describe the process of learning English with chatbots and to determine student perceptions of the use of these chatbots in improving their communication skills in English. After having conversations with chatbots: ELIZA, ALICE, MITSUKU/KUKI, and ANDY with conversation topics: introductions, feelings/confessions, daily activities, hobbies, lectures, COVID-19 pandemic, etc. The results obtained are the most preferred Chatbots: ANDY, there are POSITIVE meaningful expressions (86%) and no NEGATIVE meanings towards ANDY chatbot. Least favorite chatbots: ELIZA, there are a lot of NEGATIVE (43%) meaningful expressions towards ELIZA chatbot which are bigger than POSITIVE expressions (39%).

Abstract

The debate about English for Specific Purposes (ESP) has been a primary concern of applied linguists in examining the use of English in a specific domain involving English for Academic Purposes (EAP) and English for Professional Purposes (EPP). Not to mention that writing research has been the focus of attention when dealing with these two different settings. The writers of these two events seem to apply special features to perform an identity and their existence in their community. Therefore, it is worth noting that identifying the features of writing from a global perspective in the specification of EAP and EPP domains leads to a better understanding of their distinctive features. EAP and EPP are classified based on the discourse community theory in studying the distinctions. The data classifications analyzed in the present study were collected based on previous studies of Ruiz-Garrido et al.’s (2010) English Professional and Academic Purposes, and the writing features were classified into five categories in general, including genre, people, linguistic features/content, disciplines, accessibility, setting, convention/moves, and goals.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to explore the efficacy of holistic and analytic scoring rubrics when applied to the context of writing examinations. Throughout this research, a technique was utilized to compare two grading models based on (a) assessor agreement (reliability) and (b) reasons for the grades given (validity). Teachers were randomly allocated to one of two conditions, where they graded the same student performance using either an analytical or a holistic approach. The design is experimental. Agreement and rank correlation between grades have been compared. A comparison of the students' performance on a writing assignment is made in this study using both holistic and analytic scoring rubrics. The information for this study was gathered from twenty-four students in eighth grade at SMP N 5 Kecamatan Kapur IX. The authors conducted an analysis of the performance of the students on the two rubrics, using psychometric statistics, in order to precisely determine the strengths and weaknesses of the students, and to place them along a continuum of foreign language writing ability. Citation In contrast, analytic scoring rubrics placed examinees on a scale of writing competency that was more specifically defined. As a result, analytic scoring rubrics were more dependable than holistic scoring rubrics when it came to gauging writing for the purpose of achieving goals.

Abstract

An encounter with ominous objects or situations that causes one to feel uneasy, frightening, or afraid is known as an uncanny experience. It involves both feelings and situations that make someone uneasy. This article focused on the uncanny feelings in Lovecraft's two well-known short stories, "At the Mountain of Madness" (1930) and "Whisperer in the Darkness" (1931). By employing Sigmund Freud's psychological notion of "the uncanny", the study revealed that the uncanny attracts to readers in a variety of ways. They are simple overriding ideas that have been imprinted in the character's long-suppressed memories and are reinforced by the monstrosity's appearance. It focuses on both the monster's incredible physical characteristics and the characters' insanity or fear as a result of their unconsciousness. Their reality is broken, and the characters are unaware of the condition of the item as a result, supporting Freud's theories on repressed memories in the unconscious that emerge as a psychological defense mechanism.

Abstract

The use of place and of time as organizing forms in “Poems of 1912-13”, first appeared in Satires and Circumstances (1914), have been discussed by other readers. The modes of address and their expressive significances as one of the sequence’s expressive vehicles, however, have not been. It is important to discuss the modes of address as it deepens the readers’ understanding of the elegiac sequence whose status occupies a prominent place in the poet’s oeuvre. In discussing the modes of address in “Poems of 1912-13,” the descriptive-interpretive close reading method was used. Although the paper’s focus is on the modes of address, other textual features were also analyzed where relevant.   Five modes of address--i.e. the second-person, the third-person, the ‘ventriloquizing’, the ‘composite’, and the ‘unique’--are identified and described. These modes of address, furthermore, are proposed to signify and dramatize Hardy’s hauntedness in the beginning, the ways he comes to terms with that state in the middle, and the peace he arrives at in the end. The second-person mode signifies Hardy’s hauntedness. The third-person mode signifies and dramatizes his first strategy to solve the problem. The ‘ventriloquizing’ mode signifies and dramatizes his second strategy. The ‘composite’ mode signifies and dramatizes his third and final strategy. Finally, the ‘unique’ mode signifies and dramatizes his peaceful state in the end. The paper is concluded by raising the issue of the poet’s later addition to the sequence’s first version and by pointing out further aspects of the sequence to be explored.

Abstract

This research aimed to critically discover the author's ideology in the text entitled "Anti-Asian hate incident reports nearly doubled in March, new data says." In the analysis, the researchers used a qualitative method along with Fairclough's CDA model. As a result, it implied that Americans looked down on Asian-Americans, Americans took their stress out due to Covid-19 on Asian-Americans, Asian woman were the biggest victim in Asian hate, some Asian-Americans living in the U.S. had low economic levels, and the media had a big role in the development of Asian hate cases.  This research result can help more people understand and reduce racism, at least by understanding that human status is the same regardless of race, gender, economy, or religion.

Abstract

Students who live in a non-English-speaking country or EFL students often face difficulties in mastering English writing. The teachers need to fix it by giving written corrective feedback which would let the students know the linguistic errors they make in written production and improve from their errors. The aims of this research study are to find out what kind of error that EFL students usually make in English writing, the most common type(s) of WCF that teachers use, and the reason why teachers mostly use one type of WCF. This study was carried out by using Descriptive Analysis Qualitative Method since the results of this study were explained descriptively. The participants that were involved in this study are 20 students of tenth graders and 2 English teachers of SMKN 6 Jakarta. The instruments that were used in this study are Table Analysis (RQ1 & RQ2) and Interview (RQ3). In the end of the study, the results showed that Grammatical Error gained the highest number of errors found in the students’ assignments. The study also found that the English teachers frequently use Direct Correction to correct the students because it is easy, useful, and fast to use. It is suggested for the English teachers correct errors based on their contexts in the assignments and future researchers should also conduct cases about WCF which emphasizes the difference of writing errors that are produced by male and female students.
