This study used a qualitative descriptive method for two pre-service teachers who had the best GPA. In this study, researchers found that the 2013 curriculum was a new curriculum that followed the current technological era and also under the demands of the students' needs. Teacher candidates do not only learn how to understand teaching materials, but also how to apply these teaching materials in the teaching and learning process.

Abstract

The real challenges for teachers and learners lie in finding ways of sustaining the motivation through the long and often arduous process of learning a language. The aim of this study was to describe the students’ instrumental and integrative motivation in English language learning. A case study was used in this study by distributing the motivation questionnaire to the 36 second-year students of English Department at Sultan Ageng Tirtayasa university in Serang, Banten. Then, the data from the returned questionnaire were analyzed by describing the types of motivation the students use. Findings from this study indicated that the second year students were instrumentally motivated and their integration was sufficient, too. The instrumental motivation was found to have more impact on students than integrative one. Three interrelated instrumental motivations in studying English were identified: future study, scores and career. In addition the students mentioned that good marks in English were required for their future studies and a good qualification for their careers. In conclusion, motivation has a contribution towards the students’ English language learning. The findings could be useful for researchers and teachers in improving students’ English language learning by conducting effective teaching and learning strategies to develop the students’ motivation.

Ritunanno and Bortolotti’s (2021) theory of delusion is meant to analyze the delusion within the main character.  This method is adequate for analyzing the delusion within the main character in Salt to the Sea novel. This research uses qualitative method. The data will be taken from dialogues between the main character with other characters and the author’s narrations. The delusion within the main characters is collected by identifying and classifying the dialogues into the beginning, the process, and the result of the delusion within the main character. The delusion is portrayed by Alfred which leads to the tragic impacts. The beginning of the delusion occurs in Alfred’s environments that depicts how his parents and friends treat him in certain ways he does not want to. While, the process of the delusion occurs when he’s on duty during the war. It is interpreted how he goes through such underestimation toward colleagues and strangers being rude to him. Eventually, the impacts make some significant changes toward Alfred’s character. The positive impacts are the remembrance of his mother and the details of the ship. And the negative impacts are the neglect on other people and his death. All in all, this research shows the worst that the delusion could create to Alfred is his death.
