In this article, we draw upon Rosenblatt’s (1995) notion of Literature as Exploration to propound a text-to-self pedagogical approach to reading Haruki Murakami and Can Xue and to teaching contemporary existentialist literature. Comprising three strategies, namely The Art World in My Eyes, The Mind Film, and The Literary Conversation, this approach encourages students to engage deeply with the portrayal of death in the writers’ flagship novels that view death as an unwavering companion to young individuals’ life journey and growth. Based on Rosenblatt (1995), the three strategies, and our survey-based analysis of 2,000 Vietnamese high school students’ existential perceptions, we propose a model for literature instruction through promoting students’ transition from literary interpretations to self-discovery and self-realization of death associated with the existential crisis. This four-stage model, we expect, will get students poised to reconcile with their lost, solitary, and vulnerable ego, actively befriend their ‘inner child’, and develop into individuals with healed hearts and positive worldviews.</p> 2023-12-25T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2023 Nhung Thi Hong Nguyen, Khoa Dang Truong https://jurnal.uin-antasari.ac.id/index.php/let/article/view/11229 Unstated Rage and Undefined Identity in Anna Burns’ Milkman: A Feminist Post-Structuralist Reading 2023-11-25T01:57:16+00:00 Md Mozaffor Hossain [email protected] <p>Northern Irish author, Anna Burns’ Man Booker Prize (2018) winning novel <em>Milkman</em> presents a narrative textured with multifarious considerations ranging from subjectivity, gender, politics, power, language, and religion to anything a reader may logically connect it with. One of its most noticeable features is the narrator’s not explicitly stating the unspeakable rage searing herself and the society as a whole, which is obvious in the syntactic, lexical, intonational and tonal treatments, and her not clearly revealing the identities of the characters. Researcher regard these aspects of the narrative open to myriad interpretations of which I would like to use the feminist post-structuralist view to fathom the novel in its profoundness. I intend to unravel the stereotyped gender and subjectivity features of feminist poststructuralism in the novel, which hinge upon the social mechanism, lived experiences, and language and power relations both directly and indirectly portrayed in the narrative.</p> 2023-12-25T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2023 Md Mozaffor Hossain https://jurnal.uin-antasari.ac.id/index.php/let/article/view/11640 A Semiotic Analysis on Confession of a Shopaholic Trailer: Roland Barthes Approach 2023-12-05T10:30:24+00:00 Nur Syasya Qistina Mazeree [email protected] Norhakimin Ashaari [email protected] Nadzirah Munirah Ramli [email protected] Nur Arifah Zahiah Zuri [email protected] <p>Deciphering the signals in a movie trailer is undertaken to comprehend how viewers or learners receive the conveyed meanings. The objective of this study is to (1) analyze the symbols present in the "Confession of a Shopaholic" movie trailer and (2) disclose the description of denotation, connotation and myth in the “Confession of a Shopaholic” movie trailer. The primary dataset for this study was the trailer for the film 'Confession of a Shopaholic'. This study employed Roland Barthes' theoretical framework to analyze and establish connections between the signs and the narrative of the trailer. The use of the Barthes approach facilitates the examination of dynamic communication in audio-visual content, and a semiotic analysis was conducted to accomplish the predetermined goals of this study. The research identified a total of six pieces of data included in the trailer and provided detailed explanations of their denotation, connotation, and mythological significance. The study of signals and myths in this research aims to bridge the gap between the established framework and other audio-visual media. Although signals in other domains are important as well, it is highly recommended to do a more comprehensive analysis just on movie trailer outcomes for comparative purposes.</p> 2023-12-25T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2023 Nur Syasya Qistina Mazeree, Norhakimin Ashaari, Nadzirah Munirah Ramli, Nur Arifah Zahiah Zuri https://jurnal.uin-antasari.ac.id/index.php/let/article/view/11617 A Portrait of English Student in Learning Approaches: A Case Study for Indonesia And Thai Student 2023-12-04T03:07:35+00:00 Panuwat Hussanee [email protected] Febti Ismiatun [email protected] <p>This case study delves into the portrait of English language students from Indonesia and Thailand in their learning approaches. With the increasing importance of English as a global language. This has led to a shift in how students approach learning the language, particularly in non-English speaking countries, focusing on Indonesian and Thai students who study in the English Department of the Islamic University of Malang. The study seeks to understand how students in Indonesia and Thailand have transformed their learning approaches to adapt to the demands of their academic and social environments. To gather data, the study employed qualitative interviews and observations of students in their natural settings. The study found that students in Indonesia and Thailand have developed a range of innovative approaches to learning English that goes beyond traditional classroom methods. The results indicate that these students employ a combination of approaches, including the use of technology, peer learning, and self-directed learning. The students are also motivated and committed to learning the language, which is essential in developing their proficiency in English. The findings suggest that a combination of motivation, commitment, and experimentation with different strategies and techniques is necessary for effective language learning.</p> 2023-12-25T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2023 panuwat hussanee, Febti Ismiatun https://jurnal.uin-antasari.ac.id/index.php/let/article/view/10446 The Impact of Adopting an Eclectic Spelling Program on Minimizing KAU Engineering Students’ Spelling Mistakes 2023-12-05T10:44:20+00:00 Khaled Khader Oraby [email protected] Salameh Saleem Mahmoud [email protected] <p>Competence in a certain language including correct spelling is very crucial for successful communication. Spelling mistakes may convey a totally different message and cause disastrous consequences. This study investigates the frequency of spelling mistakes in the writing of preparatory year engineering students at King AbdulAziz University. The researchers prepared three main questions related to reasons behind spelling mistakes, suggested solutions and the impact of an eclectic training program on students’ ability to minimize their spelling mistakes. They interviewed five instructors and five students and made the students write five essays about topics related to their IE200 course after receiving a training course. The findings of the study revealed determination and seriousness on the part of instructors and students to eliminate this dilemma. This was very clear in their diagnoses of the problem and their suggestions for minimizing the spelling mistakes. The study recommended giving more attention to spelling mistakes and doing more research with a bigger sample and over a longer time.</p> 2023-12-25T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2023 Khaled Khader Oraby https://jurnal.uin-antasari.ac.id/index.php/let/article/view/11600 Educational Video Quality on TikTok for Vocabulary Teaching 2023-12-01T23:18:03+00:00 Bella Syifa Zulfia [email protected] Yokke Andini [email protected] <p>This research aimed to find out the quality of the educational videos and the quality of vocabulary teaching contents taught on the TikTok account. This research conducted online, on the TikTok account @jagobahasa.com. These data sources are limited to vocabulary teaching videos posted within the last three years. The researcher selected video samples randomly with the existing criteria. The criteria used to assess the quality were theories by Brame and Lopez. The study revealed that elements in the video showed a significant match against the criteria of educational video and criteria for vocabulary teaching contents. The educational videos provided cognitive load, student engagement and active learning. Meanwhile, the quality of the vocabulary teaching contents taught was nearly comprehensive, including teaching vocabulary of frequency, range, availability and expediency, learnability, and cultural factors. However, for the use of guiding questions, making videos as homework, and specific needs or interests of learners were not available.</p> 2023-12-25T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2023 Bella Syifa Zulfia, Yokke Andini https://jurnal.uin-antasari.ac.id/index.php/let/article/view/10175 Move Analysis of Awards Acceptance Speeches in The 22nd Vodafone Ghana Music Awards Ceremony 2023-11-25T01:30:22+00:00 John York-Williams [email protected] Joseph Benjamin Archibald Afful [email protected] Emmanuel Mensah Bonsu [email protected] <p>It has become a tradition that any musician who wins an award delivers a speech to acknowledge those who contributed to the award’s success. This has led to the emergence of Awards Acceptance Speeches (AASs). Despite the recent popularity of genre analysis on professional genres, AASs as a genre, have not been researched, especially in the Ghanaian context. To this end, this paper sought to examine the generic structure of the AASs of Ghanaian musicians in the 22nd Vodafone Ghana Music Awards Ceremony. 20 AASs were sampled for the study. The study adopted Swales’ (1990) approach to move analysis, focusing on the generic structure. The analysis revealed that Thanking move was the most frequent. A 6 move-structure was identified. The study concluded with implications for successful acculturation of musicians and other entertainment industry players in their discourse communities and recommendations for further studies.</p> 2023-12-25T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2023 John York-Williams, Joseph Benjamin Archibald Afful, Emmanuel Mensah Bonsu https://jurnal.uin-antasari.ac.id/index.php/let/article/view/11452 Teachers’ and Students’ Reflection on the Problem of Writing Narrative Text in a Remote Area (Flores Island) 2023-11-22T20:49:06+00:00 Darmawan Labira [email protected] <p>This study investigated teachers' and students' reflection on the problem of writing narrative text in a remote area. The data were taken from 30 students and 15 EFL teachers from purposely selected schools that have reputations of being the best and largest school in the Sikka regency using written test to find out the students’ abilities in writing narrative text. The researcher used questionnaire to collect the data regarding student experiences and experiences. The finding indicated grammatical aspect as the biggest student’s problem (25 errors), the mechanic aspect of writing revealed 24 errors, 23 errors in vocabulary aspect, writing content revealed 20 errors, writing organization revealed 20 errors. The problems raised when students started to put words on paper, students forgot their storytelling abilities: students couldn’t think of topics; omitted relevant details, but go on and on about irrelevant ones; their dialogue was bland; couldn’t figure out how to start and how to end. Grammar and vocabulary were mostly performed in writing activities, most teachers used 50-minute time allocations for writing practices and pictures to pictures model was mostly adopted by teachers.</p> 2023-12-25T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2023 Darmawan Labira
