Abstract

Teaching and learning English for millennials requires a different  approach from previous generations unfamiliar with digital technology advances.  This paper tries to discuss and see how English teachers insert digital technology (WHAT) into the classroom learning process. To obtain the data for this study, the researchers observed a teacher (HOW) inserting digital technology into learning. The researchers used recording techniques (audio and video) and field notes to complement the observation technique. The observations show that the teacher applies the active student learning method by applying the principle of time distribution for students and teachers. The teacher only uses up to 15% of the available time allocation, and students have more than 85% of the time to do and practice the points on the learning material. Students get extensive opportunities to experience learning with the aim that they will gain and be able to improve 1) their digital skill; 2) the growth and improvement of the students' self-confidence and other soft skills. The students' Youtube content.

Abstract

Technology is a benchmark for universal development by providing easy access for users. Technology has also spread to the realm of languages where online translation tools make communication across languages easier. This research aims to provide information about the accuracy of translation in the Indonesian to English using Google Translation and Papago Naver to examine the language use of translation tools for websites. In this paper, we used qualitative methods to support our analysis by comparing both selected tools. The results indicated the quality of online translation tools is ineligible as the language used on the website. Several errors were found, mostly because the system could not recognize pronouns and only translated as according to their literal meaning without considering lexicosemantic. In conclusion, both translation tools have different accuracy levels to translate a variety of text and 50% of it is considered inaccurate which needs to be corrected by replacing each word and editing the whole text. This research is expected to facilitate the translation of words or sentences on a small or large scale and to provide another alternative on switching language use.

Abstract

The purpose of writing is to convey to readers whether a book or work deserves a response from the public or not. Besides that, it is also to give considerations to other works of art such as plays, films, and a performance.

Abstract

Movies always have an impact on society based on the message they convey. The film's message has the   potential to influence the audience's thinking and behaviour. This review examines the socioeconomic disparity depicted in the film Miracle in Cell No. 7 in order to highlight the message conveyed. The purpose of this review is to discover the conflicts shown in the film, as well as the messages included and packed by the filmmaker. The Robert N. Etman Media Text Framing Analysis model was used to analyze this study, which includes four research analysis tools: problem identification (defining the problem), causal interpretation (estimating the problem or source of the problem), moral evaluation (making a moral decision on the problem), and treatment recommendations (emphasizing problem solving) with a critical perspective within the Frankfurt School's critical  theory paradigm. The findings of this study reveal that the components that depict conflict in this film are drawn from societal occurrences. Reviewers can use the    framing model to uncover messages in the film, such as praiseworthy messages or good attitudes.
