Abstract

Everyone has an identity and language is a sign of that. The associations in a person's environment, with whom they hang out, and where they learn can all have an impact on their identities. This research aims to explain the extent to which language is still used as a symbol of human identity. The language used every day can be a source of pride. Evidence of this pride can be seen from the development of its use which is dynamic. Language has a very important function to express cultural treasures. However, language over time has also developed. Challenges in learning a foreign language can also be influenced by the use of a person's everyday language. Students have their challenges in learning a foreign language, therefore it can be seen whether the everyday language they use has an influence when they learn a foreign language.

Abstract

This paper figures out the characters and the messages or moral values of a play namely Lady Widermere’s Fan. The drama was designed based on Heathcote’s (1984) understanding of drama in education in order to cultivate creative pedagogy and ‘character’ building. The data was gained by reading the drama script based on existing documents. The result showed that every character has various characters and each of them is related to others. The main character has fundamentally strengthened the plot and has important effects to other characters. The moral values that can be seen from this play are that all humankind is far from the word “perfect” even if they are consider themselves as good, kind, and wise people. They still tend to have shortage.

Abstract

This study intended to describe the perception of EFL students regarding the advantages, challenges, and strategies associated with utilizing Animaker as a learning media in the recount text material. The research method was qualitative. Three EFL students from an Indonesian private junior high school were interviewed to obtain the research data. The finding of this study showed that using Animaker as a learning tool had six advantages for students, including making it simpler for them to comprehend the subject matter, remember lesson details, perform better in class and earn higher grades, make learning enjoyable, boost motivation, and make vocabulary learning simpler. Even though the animated videos created with the Animaker application expanded their vocabulary, students had trouble interpreting words that were difficult to translate. As a result, they had four strategies for overcoming their challenges in terms of vocabulary, namely asking teachers and colleagues for explanations, using a bilingual dictionary, using a monolingual dictionary, and guessing meaning from the context. This study concluded that EFL students had a positive perception of using Animaker as a learning media in the recount text material. This positive perception was shown by the various advantages they got from this animated video-based learning media, but they faced vocabulary challenges. They used strategies in the vocabulary with the help of others (social strategy) and without the help of others (determination strategy).

Abstract

This study explores the perspectives and experiences related to AI writing assistants for college-level English language learners, casting light on potential as valuable supports for language learning and academic writing enhancement. This study uses a qualitative design with narrative inquiry approach. The study was conducted with three English Language Learners in Magister program from one university in Malang. The two research questions were addressed by conducting semi-structured interviews with these students. The results of this investigation show that students' perceptions of ChatGPT were contradictory, with both positive and negative aspects swaying their perspectives. Moreover, the study highlighted factors among them academic workload, time efficiency, and affordability that affected the English language learner’s intent to employ ChatGPT as a writing assistant in an academic context. Regardless the numerous benefit such as instant feedback, grammar proofreading correction, expanding vocabulary, and language style suggestions, the incorporation of AI-based writing aids in academic contexts still faces ethical and practical challenges. Gaining a comprehensive understanding of these aspects can provide valuable insights for educators, enabling them to develop efficacious strategies for the responsible and sustainable integration of AI tools. These strategies aim to effectively facilitate language learning and academic writing for those who are learning English as a foreign language.
