The Correlation Between Student’s Perception on Teacher using Second Language in Teaching English with Student’s Motivation on Learning English
Understanding students' perceptions of teachers' language choices is crucial as it significantly impacts motivation, allowing educators to cater to diverse student abilities and address learning difficulties. Effective preparation, encompassing materials and teaching methods, becomes indispensable in fostering support for learning. Constructivist theories by Piaget and Vygotsky underscore teachers as facilitators, guiding students through active interaction and collaboration to construct knowledge.
This research delves into examining the correlation between students' perceptions of teachers' use of a second language in teaching English and their motivation to learn English. Employing a quantitative approach, the study involved 37 junior high school students from Muhammadiyah 4 Giri in Gresik, with data collected through a closed-ended questionnaire.
Data analysis results reveal a positive and significant correlation between students' perceptions of teachers' use of a second language, specifically Indonesian as the medium of instruction, and their motivation to learn English. This implies that more positive perceptions regarding the use of a second language by teachers correspond to higher motivation levels for learning English.
These findings underscore the pivotal role of the second language in junior high school English teaching. Teachers may consider employing Indonesian strategically to enhance students' motivation to learn English. Future research is recommended to delve deeper into understanding additional factors influencing the correlation between students' perceptions, teachers' language choices, and students' motivation. Expanding the sample size and including diverse school contexts can further enhance the generalizability of the results

From Monster to Man: The Transformation of the Vampire and the Gothic Heroine in Dracula and Vampire Diaries
Bram Stoker's Dracula and L. J. Smith's Vampire Diaries: The Awakening, separated by a century, both feature the iconic vampire. This study explores how the characterization of the vampire, and its impact on female characters, has transformed within the gothic genre. Utilizing Jungian Archetype theory and textual analysis, this study examines the evolving portrayal of the vampire figure and its connection to the representation of women's horror and madness in the gothic narratives. The analysis reveals a shift in the vampire archetype from Dracula's monstrous and predatory figure to a more romanticized and conflicted one in Vampire Diaries: The Awakening. Additionally, the analysis demonstrates how female characters' experiences of horror and madness transition from fear of the vampire in Dracula to a more complex interplay of fear and desire in Vampire Diaries: The Awakening

Faktor-Faktor Yang Mempengaruhi Kepuasan Jamaah Umroh Dan Haji Dengan Persepsi Kesehatan Sebagai Variabel Moderating
Background – Indonesia is the country with the largest Muslim population in the world. This creates a lot of interest and demand for Hajj and Umrah in Indonesia. Hajj and Umrah are worship activities carried out by visiting Mecca and Medina and carried out in accordance with religious law. Since the city of Mecca reopened for Umrah pilgrims after Covid-19, thousands of people have visited various travel services that provide Umrah services. Various types of travel offers ranging from cheap prices, good aircraft facilities, and hotels close to the Kaaba. This offering strategy is carried out to get the attention of prospective Umrah pilgrims.
Aim – In this study, the purpose of the study is to test whether service quality, price perception, trust, empathy and health perception influence customer satisfaction and whether health perception is able to moderate all these factors.
Design / methodology / approach – This type of research is quantitative research, namely analyzing data in the form of numbers. The data used in this research is primary data which is data directly obtained from the first data source. Data was obtained from the results of a questionnaire distributed to respondents, namely Hikmah Travel pilgrims and Umrah pilgrims. The method used is multiple linear regression analysis with moderator effects.
Findings – The results of this research are that the service quality variable (X1) has no effect on consumer satisfaction (Y), the price perception variable (X2) has no effect on consumer satisfaction (Y), the trust variable (X3) has no effect on consumer satisfaction (Y), the empathy variable (X4) has a significant effect on consumer satisfaction (Y), healthy perception (Z) moderates the influence of service quality (X1) on consumer satisfaction (Y), healthy perception (Z) is unable to moderate the influence of price (X2) on consumer satisfaction (Y), healthy perception (Z) is able to moderate the influence of trust (X3) on consumer satisfaction (Y), healthy perception (Z) is unable to moderate the influence of empathy (X4) on consumer satisfaction (Y).
Conclusion - The ability of health perception to moderate consumer satisfaction is seen from the quality of service, price perception, trust is good, so this needs to be a concern for hajj and umrah services. However, the absence of health perception will actually result in compromised customer satisfaction.
Research implication – Empathy has a significant effect on consumer satisfaction, so travel agencies should pay attention to the empathy factor so that it can increase consumer satisfaction and can be used to attract Hajj pilgrims to use their travel services. Apart from the empathy factor, healthy perceptions are able to moderate the factors of service quality and trust in customer satisfaction, so travel agencies must also pay attention to these factors to get potential customers.
Limitations – The population in this research is Hajj and Umrah travel services in East Java, while the sample from this research is Umrah and Hajj pilgrims at Hikmah Travel
