We set out in this study to critically analyse how Hawthorne in this short story depicts the alarming extent to which terrestrial distractions especially in this modern age of industry, innovation and capitalism have instead derailed many Christians from the celestial city to the terrestrial slums of perdition, misery and destruction. The qualitative approach was used to analyse the data collected for this study. This paper is based on the hypothesis that the quest for pleasure and the advent of industrial and technological development have drifted the Christian further away from the path of salvation as depicted in Hawthorne’s “The Celestial Railroad.” New Historicism was the theoretical lens employed for this research endeavour. This study revealed that, Hawthorne’s “The Celestial Railroad” is even more relevant in the 21st century due to the alarming extent to which Christian ideals have been violated, much more than what obtained when the story was published.","PeriodicalId":198566,"journal":{"name":"Studies in English Language Teaching","volume":"27 9","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139256476","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Consequently, symbols take varied forms to convey these ideas, concepts or emotions, explicitly, and implicitly, relying on shared cultures or conventions. On this note, this paper underscores that there is a shift in the dynamics of symbols from the romantic epoch to the postmodern period with each era portraying nature and childhood symbols in a manner that is satisfactory to humanity across ages. The paper also shows that though the Romantics (William Blake and William Wordsworth) and Neo-romantics, (Ted Hughes and Seamus Heaney) share similar concerns in relation to nature and childhood, these consternations are read through different prisms. In this light, they plunge into the ambiguities of the imagination and the changing consciousness, from a quiet romantic time to the traumatic epoch of the 21st century. To Blake, Wordsworth, Hughes, and Heaney, imagination, as such, remains a gift, as it enables them to sail beyond the ordinary. Against this backdrop, the romantic and postmodern theoretical paradigms become inevitable as they pave the way for a better insight into the distinct styles of these poets in the exploration of space, time, thoughts, and other constituents through vibrant symbols to transcend the ordinary for a better portrait of nature and childhood.","PeriodicalId":198566,"journal":{"name":"Studies in English Language Teaching","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127406148","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Combined with important linguistic devices, the researcher made an attempt to compare and discuss the systematic stylistic functions between the poem MY LIFE and the poem SOMEONE I’M AFRAID OF. More specifically, two research questions are addressed: which linguistic features are used to achieve the foregrounding in the poem to support the theme? And what is the functional significance of these linguistic devices from the stylistic point of view? This paper first identified and classified the linguistic devices employed by these two poems for theme foregrounding. Then this paper analyzed and discussed the functions and the meaning implications produced through those linguistic features. The analysis of these two poems finds that metaphor, repetition, parallelism, simile, and personification are more prominent linguistic devices that are used to allow the poets to create literary plays, reiterate visual images, convey emotional tension, enhance emotive cohesion, stimulate emotional resonance and add literary color. The research finds that these different functional effects can be reflected by the same linguistic devices, also by using different linguistic devices, which mainly depends on the poet’s flexible use of these linguistic techniques.","PeriodicalId":198566,"journal":{"name":"Studies in English Language Teaching","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129638736","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It employed a case study research using the interview to obtain in-depth and detailed information from the participants. Six EFL learners of Universitas Pancasakti Tegal were involved in this study conducting telephone interviews. This result reveals that Elskti has been found to support digitalization where students as well lecturers have higher chances to optimally use digital tools to help them work with assignments and other work more effectively and efficiently. Its features also have essential roles as a medium of assessment in language teaching as they facilitated the creation of a fun learning environment, practicality, automated scoring, and direct feedback. The findings of this study also designate that Elsakti is powerful and potential to be utilized to implement formative assessment more often since it plays important roles in the EFL learning and teaching process, including formative assessment. Meanwhile, the challenges perceived by participating learners in this study were majorly related to the technical problems that the learners did not encounter often or at every meeting.","PeriodicalId":198566,"journal":{"name":"Studies in English Language Teaching","volume":"47 3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133518144","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The purpose of this study was to investigate EFL learners’ attitudes toward utilizing the Second Life virtual world as an online instructional and language learning tool. To achieve the study purposes, a descriptive research design was used with a questionnaire to gather data, after ensuring its validity and reliability. Forty-one undergraduates who were enrolled in two CALL classes at a school of education participated in the study. Overall, the results suggest that the majority of EFL undergraduates have favorable attitudes toward using virtual games and that the use of Second Life served well as an online instructional tool for language learning. Based on the results of the current study, EFL instructors may be encouraged to integrate virtual world games to augment their students’ learning by providing them paths to engage in authentic communication with the target language users. Further, the integration of virtual learning is a promising alternative in times of pandemics when social distancing is an obligation. Such ends require that instructors plan some virtual world-based tasks of a goal-driven nature. Further research directions include implementing qualitative tools to explore how learners react to the nature of virtual world games, specifically in relation to the users’ ability to claim different identities.
