2024-11-20T14:46:47+07:00

A strong vocabulary is essential for improved communication, which entails engaging with people in an effective manner. University freshmen always have a hard time learning a lot of new words related to their new academic lives. This problem can be resolved with the aid of Word Cloud, a language-related application. One Word Cloud is examined in the current study as a potential app to help students increase their vocabulary. The purpose of this study is to look into how Word Clouds affect students' ability to expand their vocabulary in English. The study hypothesizes that Word Clouds significantly influence students' vocabulary development. Not every student will find traditional vocabulary instruction methods to be interesting or useful. To assess the students' vocabulary growth, this experimental study compares the pre- and post-assessments of two groups of students before and after the treatment using the statistical T-Test. The findings indicate that Word Clouds have some effect on students' vocabulary, but not much because there was little variation in the post-test scores between the two groups. The study's conclusion aids in the advancement of language instruction and supports teachers in expanding their students' vocabulary.

2024-11-12T13:15:33+07:00

This study explores the use of illocutionary acts in the movie Where Hope Grows, focusing on the communication dynamics between the main characters, Calvin and Produce. Using a qualitative content analysis approach, the dialogues and interactions between Calvin and Produce were transcribed and coded based on John Searle's Speech Act Theory. The analysis reveals that representative acts account for 42.25% of the total illocutionary acts, while expressive acts account for 29.58%, reflecting the movie's emphasis on emotional expression and personal struggles. Directive acts contribute 23.94%, while commissive acts are found to be only 4.23% and declarative acts are absent. These findings suggest that Where Hope Grows highlights the use of representative and expressive acts to build a narrative based on the characters' beliefs and emotions, while directive and commissive acts are more limited. The study provides insights into how language is used to convey emotions, share thoughts, and influence others within the movie's context, and its implications for communication in various settings, such as personal relationships, education, and counseling.

SCAFFOLDING METHOD FOR TEACHING SPEAKING TO INDONESIAN MIGRANT WORKERS

2024-12-02T09:45:50+07:00

Indonesian migrant workers in Penang, Malaysia, face significant challenges in acquiring English speaking skills, primarily due to their lack of self-confidence, limited speaking skill, and insufficient opportunities for practice. This research examines the application of the scaffolding method by teachers to bridge the gap between learners’ current skills and their potential for growth in English speaking proficiency. Specifically, it analyzes the use of scaffolding in teaching speaking skills to Indonesian migrant workers at the English Academy Bengkulu Malaysia. Employing a descriptive qualitative method, the study involved the manager and two teachers selected through purposive sampling. Data collection methods included observation, interviews, and documentation analysis. The scaffolding method was implemented in four stages: assistance provided by others, assistance provided by the self, internalization, and de-automatization. In the first stage, teachers utilized affective, analytical, and social scaffolding techniques. During the second stage, students practiced speaking independently, with teachers emphasizing confidence by overlooking minor errors. The third stage, internalization, involved "outdoor activities" monitored via WhatsApp to facilitate real-life speaking practice. However, the final stage, de-automatization, was not fully realized, as students remained reliant on teacher instructions and preferred their native language outside of practice sessions.

REVISITING PHOTOGRAPHIC MEMORY IN CLASH OF CHAMPIONS: HOW TO INTEGRATE PHOTOGRAPHIC MEMORY IN ENGLISH LANGUAGE TEACHING (ELT)?

2024-12-12T15:03:38+07:00

This research explores the integration of photographic memory principles into English Language Teaching (ELT), focusing on descriptive qualitative methods. Photographic memory (eidetic memory), enables individuals to vividly remember visual stimuli after brief exposure, which is crucial in contexts like ELT where retention and recall are paramount. Integrating these principles into ELT emphasizes active learning and memory retention to enhance language proficiency through engaging tasks that mirror real-world language use. Educators utilize visual, mnemonic, contextual, and interactive strategies alongside repetition, review, and multi-sensory approaches to optimize learning outcomes. This approach not only supports students in mastering English skills but also fosters cognitive abilities related to memory and learning. In ELT, photographic memory proves invaluable across various domains. Students with this ability excel in vocabulary acquisition by associating words with mental images or visual cues, aiding retention. They also benefit from vividly recalling grammar rules and sentence structures presented in class, enhancing comprehension. Moreover, photographic memory assists in reading comprehension by facilitating accurate recall of text details, thereby improving students' ability to analyze and discuss content effectively. In developing pronunciation and listening skills, these learners leverage memory to replicate correct models and remember spoken phrases accurately, crucial for language acquisition. Lastly, in exams like TOEFL or IELTS, where memorization is crucial, students with photographic memory excel in quickly retrieving and applying knowledge, significantly enhancing their exam performance. Integrating photographic memory principles into ELT not only enhances language learning outcomes but also nurtures overall engagement and cognitive development, making it a powerful tool in educational contexts focused on language proficiency and academic achievement.

This research is conducted to describe Maleficent’s superego and its function in Robert Stromberg’s Maleficent movie 2014 version by applying Sigmund Freud’s psychoanalysis. The qualitative method is used to describe the analysis. The result of this research reveals the evolution of Maleficent’s superego before and after Aurora’s birth. The first one is the superego believing that humans are wicked, represented by the human king and Stefan. In the second one, after meeting Aurora, her superego changes into believing that humans can be good. In the end, she is the true love of Aurora and can live side by side with her, eventually leading a harmonious life with the human kingdom. Hence, the superego’s function in the movie is pivotal to the plot twist, redefining Maleficent as both a villain and a heroine.
