Abstract

Several previous studies have revealed that extensive reading is essential for supporting the success of EFL students’ language learning. Due to the advancement of technology that has entered the language classroom, the implementation of extensive reading programs in Indonesia has shifted to digital extensive reading, where both EFL students and teachers utilize digital materials or tools through various applications or online platforms. Hence, this paper aims to critically review digital extensive reading in Indonesia to provide an overview or information regarding the implementation of digital extensive reading in Indonesia. Following George’s (2008) Literature Reviews model, twelve articles related to digital extensive reading in Indonesia that were published from 2019 to 2022 in reputable national journals were critically reviewed. It was revealed that the digital extensive reading in Indonesia was implemented variously through several digital or online platforms for extensive reading, such as Let’s Read! application, Blogging, Mobile-Assisted, Xreading, Wattpad, Webtoon, and other various online platforms, such as WhatsApp, Zoom, and Google Classroom. Last but not least, it can be concluded that the implementation of digital extensive reading through those various digital or online platforms has been proven to be useful in supporting the success of EFL students’ digital extensive reading activities as well as the success of EFL students’ language learning.

Abstract

Several students do not show their positive attitude in studying literature because they are getting difficulties engaging with the materials and the literary texts that are provided by the teachers. Other than that, there are various factors that influence the students not to show their positive attitude to the study of literature. Therefore, this article attempts to elaborate on two main factors that influence student attitudes in studying literature in the EFL (English as a Foreign Language) classroom and offer the strategies used to improve student attitudes in studying literature. Two main factors that affect their attitude toward the study of literature are the selection of literary texts and the teaching method used by the teachers. Thus this article elaborates on how to select the appropriate literary text to improve student attitudes toward the study of literature. Also, it offers two possibilities of teaching methods that are used to encourage the students in studying literature. It involves reading response and visual aids. To generalize the idea, in increasing student attitudes in studying literature, it needs creativity and much effort for the teachers. Students also face many difficulties in studying literature in the classroom. Thus, educators should be aware of the problems that arise among the students and provide the appropriate solution to them.

Abstract

Abstract. This study aimed at investigating further stages experienced by someone who is going through the process of grieving from the loss of a loved one forever, namely Wanda Maximoff and its relation with her world of her imagination in Matt Shakman's "WandaVision" series. This study applied Lacanian theory, namely the mirror stage and the five stages of grief theory, from Elizabeth Kubler Ross to elaborate the data.  The data obtained is a collection of scenes and dialogues in each episodes of this series.The results show that Wanda Maximoff experiences stages of grief after the death of her lover, namely Vision. However, her grief was so deep that she created her imaginary world, West View. According to Lacan theory, this arises because of the imaginary, which is Wanda's hidden desire. The world is Wanda's dream that contradicts the reality she faced. The imagination is usually experienced unconsciously by someone going through a mourning period. Therefore, the analysis of the stage of grief in Wanda's character can help us better understand our emotions.  Keywords: Grief, Imaginary, Lacanian, WandaVision.

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 importance of language in expressing ideas and ideologies has always been a focus of public debate in politics. The persons in charge of the reins of power become a source of concern, as well as the language they use. As a result, this research looks into the speech acts, language styles, and how they express peace values from Biden’s victory speech. A qualitative research design was used. Biden’s pragma stylistics and peace values were extracted from his victory speech in Wilmington, Delaware on November 7, 2020. This study focused on three aspects, namely: categories of illocutionary acts, language style based on sentence structure, and peace values. The data were analyzed following these stages: data condensation, data display, and drawing/verifying conclusions. The results showed that the most common illocutionary type employed in diverse language styles in Biden’s victory speech was commissive. Presumably, politicians have become accustomed to making promises or making commitments in order to entice citizens to vote for them. In addition, two types of peace values (inner peace and social peace) were discovered along with three types of language styles: parallelism, antithesis, and repetition (epizeuxis, anaphora, and anadiplosis), with more than half of the data employing parallelism as the language style. The majority of Biden’s speech focused on social peace to keep social life free of internal strife.

Abstract

The literary genre known as "digital literature" includes works of fiction and nonfiction written only for digital media such as computers, tablets, and smartphones. Because of its convenient qualities, this genre may be read and enjoyed anywhere, especially when it has already been posted to a digital site. Such literary works might not offer universal traits like those of works on paper. This is just unusual in that it is solely made with digital tools. Digital literature may provide particular techniques to reading and analyzing it, since the academic world likewise moves toward paperless resources. The current study examines the difficulties, limitations, and potential solutions for seeing digital literary works as online resources, using some novel methods from literary and cultural studies and multimodality that may be used to evaluate digital literary texts. The article presents and examines a few ideas that will significantly improve the actions and reactions of EFL students’ active participation in literary criticism and analysis

Abstract

The theoretical research aim is to investigate statements written by Stephen Krashen in his book Free Voluntary Reading about the use of Narrow FVS (free voluntary web-surfing) in reading and its potential to foster reading interest, motivation, and understanding of readers. Based on the literature review analysis, several points can be obtained that will make it easier for readers to develop their language skills and make them useful to understand a text. Kindly separate the rationale of narrow FVS, including narrow reading, free voluntary reading, and free voluntary web surfing, all three of which can be concluded to have good potential in making it easier for readers to understand a reading text, get varied input material easily, and be a good solution for growing reading habits. The research can be concluded from several analyses of the three techniques, which have the same characteristics, including extensive reading and pleasure reading, so they can be combined. In addition, reducing reading lexical load and anxiety will positively impact readers' motivation to continue reading in large quantities with more confidence

Abstract

Ecocriticism is defined as “the study of the relationship between literature and the physical environment” (Glotfelty, 1996: 18). The culture is the impact of human and their beliefs in how they live and how they benefit the environment.Thus, ambivalence related to the change of the culture characterizes the people (Bhabha, 1998: 12). This study uses ecocriticism approach aiming to answer questions: 1) How is human and nature relationship represented in Silko’s Ceremony and Gloria Naylor’s Mama Day?; and 2) How does the relationship reveal conflict between tradition and modernity? There are underlined points need to emphasize from both novels of Silko’s Ceremony and Gloria Naylor’s Mama Day through ecocriticism approach. The first is humans’ attitudes toward nature can be either nurturing or destructing. The second is the conflict between tradition and modernity which is underlying this study parted into two, mainly the differences of tradition and modernity and the crashes between both cultures which involve humans and their attitudes toward nature. Tradition and modernity – as cultures here are seen as result of human and nature co-existence. The last point is the impacts of tradition and modernity. The notable impacts from cultures as the effect of human and nature correlation are ambivalence and conformity

Abstract

The use of digital media in online learning requires teachers to be more innovative in attracting students' interest. However, the limited interaction and communication causes problems in students' understanding. This will result in passive student responses in online classes if online learning activities are not accompanied by innovative learning motivation. This study aims to help teachers apply a more innovative approach through audiovisual media in films to help students understand issues and create critical thinking expressed through written works. The student response approach to audiovisual learning has achieved surprising findings. Experiential approach Student response combined with the cognitive theory of multimedia learning brings students into a critical understanding of the experiences of fictional characters that are even different from their lives. The findings indicate that students are more interactive and critical in responding to the issues in the film. The use of audiovisual media as digital literature through films is considered effective in developing knowledge, emotional experiences, and increasing students' social awareness. Although some compassionate students have difficulty expressing their emotions, most of them give a positive response in this method. The teacher stated that it took more time to prepare the material. In the interview, the teacher realized the changes in students' attitudes and communication, both verbally and in writing developed
