Through an analysis and discussion of the novel's narrative, it becomes evident that the story follows a progressive plot structure. The stages, commencing with exposition and culminating in resolution, vividly illustrate this progression. In the exposition phase, characters and impending conflicts are introduced, while rising tensions materialize as Jacques breaks his promise to Rose upon discovering her pregnancy, subsequently fleeing. As Rose's pregnancy becomes conspicuous, her fears escalate, prompting her to remain hidden until childbirth. Although Rose weds her master, he remains unaware of her child. Ultimately, Rose reveals her concealed truths to Mr. Valin. Employing a descriptive analysis methodology, this research underscores the implications of plot analysis in The Story of a Farm Girl for character education in schools. It emphasizes the scrutiny of content and language, thereby fostering ethical growth alongside literary comprehension.

The experimental group was instructed on the memorizing strategies and the control one left alone to memorize words presented in class in a week time span. The experimental group being taught on coding, interim device, and visual imagery strategies was assayed on spot by dint of written word recognition tests for their receptive knowledge of synonyms written on the board. The findings of the matching test tasks divulged that the learners’ recognitions of synonyms than the first language equivalents were significantly higher. The experimental group significantly scored higher in the recognition test of synonyms than that of translation equivalents.

One of the promising ways to actualize this speaking-learning aspiration is through the use of digital storytelling. Previous researchers believed that digital storytelling could potentially promote a higher degree of speaking learning enjoyment where EFL learners’ speaking competencies can thrive to the utmost potential. This present small-scale library study was initiated to exhaustively investigate the positive influences of digital storytelling on EFL learners’ speaking skills improvement. To release this main study objective, the researcher conducted a thematic analysis of 25 previous digital storytelling and speaking studies to generate more relevant and comprehensible research results. Based on the thematic analysis, the constant utilization of digital storytelling was proved to transform EFL learners into more insightful L2 speakers and promote a psychologically sound speaking learning atmosphere in which their targeted L2 communicative competencies can be fostered to the fullest development. Future researchers need to include broader English language learning scopes and a greater number of reviewed digital storytelling investigations to generate more rewarding research results relevant to the applicability and feasibility of online learning platforms in modern EFL learning enterprises.

In this instance, the emphasis is on the stylistic analysis to expose the usage of figurative language and its role in the dialogue between the lecturer and the students. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to examine the figurative language used by a lecturer in a literary class. This study employs the qualitative technique and selects a participant based on the requirements of having a master's degree, having 10 years of teaching experience, and being recommended in order to have an in-depth talk. The data, which are expressed as words, phrases, or sentences, are acquired from audio-video recordings of spoken speech. The recording was made during a lecture in a classroom to obtain an actual situation of the recordings. Furthermore, this study discovered twelve types of figurative language used by the lecturer: metaphor, simile, personification, apostrophe, metonymy, synecdoche, symbol, allegory, paradox, irony, hyperbole, and litotes. Also, each figurative language has a function to convey a particular meaning; comparison, association, and contrast. In addition, the results demonstrate that through the use of figurative language, the lecturer has more alternative ways to expand on the learning subject in the classroom and to enhance students' awareness of stylistics in the form of figurative language.","PeriodicalId":419128,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Research on Language Education","volume":"36 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":"134348544","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 result of this study from translation text, students made mistake which were the ambiguity, sentence pattern, missing words, and non-linguistics factor. In questionnaire sheet, the highest score of students' difficulties was in linguistics factor which was about 55 score. It was difficulty in translating words which had double meaning. In non-linguistics factor, the highest score was 52 score. It was difficulty in translating words that related with ideology value. Besides, there are internal and external factors from within students that affect their difficulties where the internal factor is the students' motivation and interested in learning is lacking. While external factors are a lack of attention from the teacher and parent, inexact of methodologies in leaning and the lack of student facilities in learning. Based on the result above, it can be concluded that students' difficulties in translating argumentative text more dominant come from linguistics factor than non-linguistics factor.","PeriodicalId":419128,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Research on Language Education","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134578526","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}
