Numerous studies have been conducted to examine various literature on teaching methods for EFL students. The strategies used in the research, however, heavily rely on teachers' attempts to spoon-feed students' understanding. Thus, in this research, the writers aim to study students’ perceptions of using infographics in studying intrinsic elements in Shakespeare’s drama. This study adopts the mixed-method approach. The participants of this study are 71 students from the second semester consisting of 41 females, and 30 males majoring in English Language and Literature (BBI) at UBM University. The result of the questionnaire was analyzed by using SPSS. In addition to processing the questionnaire results, the writers also conduct a semi-structured interview to gather additional perspectives and in-depth insights about the usage of infographics to improve students' comprehension of Shakespeare's play. This study concludes that participants were eager to learn fundamental aspects of Shakespeare's drama through infographics. Students' short attention spans and Shakespeare's difficult language can both be overcome with the use of infographics.","PeriodicalId":232120,"journal":{"name":"SALEE: Study of Applied Linguistics and English Education","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132809363","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}

Currently, higher education is attended by adult learners who are not only study but also work in the industry since the competition in the workplace is getting harder in this globalization era which implicitly requires English proficiency of the workers. Those who work while study must have a motivation either intrinsic or extrinsic to pursue higher education. Thus, this study aims to investigate the effect of academic motivation on RPL program students’ English proficiency test score. This study employed a descriptive quantitative method involving 27 RPL program students majoring in Pharmacy. Data obtained from the Academic Motivation Scale and students’ TOEIC scores were analyzed quantitatively using simple linear regression technique with the help of SPSS 22.0. This study found that even though the data were normal and linear, academic motivation had no effect on the students’ English proficiency test scores. This might happen because there are way more complex factors that influence academic achievement or academic performance in the results of English proficiency test.","PeriodicalId":232120,"journal":{"name":"SALEE: Study of Applied Linguistics and English Education","volume":"59 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134376915","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}
