Apology to the ecosystem: A Stylistic Analysis of Linda Hogan’s "Song for the Turtles in the Gulf"
This paper conducts a stylistic analysis of Linda Hogan's eco-friendly poem “Song for the Turtles in the Gulf,” examining its ecological concerns through the exploration of tone, symbols, images, personification, and intertextuality. Against the background of the 2010 BP oil spill, this poem issues a reflection on the disastrous impact of human endeavouring and development on the environment and, more specifically, sea turtles. This paper provides an analysis of how Hogan uses literary elements to appeal to the emotions and raise awareness about the environment to show that the poem challenges contemplation and rightful action in view of the raging environmental degradation. The analysis emphasizes the turtle as a symbol of vulnerability and environmental degradation. Moreover, the paper also analyzes some selected techniques of Hogan, such as personification and intertextuality, which make the reader think more about the ecological context and humanity’s critical position on it. In conclusion, this research benefits the field of ecocriticism by showing that close reading of literature enriches the moral and affective calls of environmental literature
From Memorization to Communication: Reconsidering the Point of Language Acquisition
This article explores the gap between traditional language instruction methods and natural language acquisition, drawing on the author's experiences as both a language teacher and student as well as a parent. While language instruction often emphasizes rote memorization of vocabulary and grammar through tests, natural language acquisition, as seen in children, involves trial and error, active communication, and gradual improvement. The article advocates for more practical, communicative approaches to language learning, emphasizing teacher-student interactions and creative use of engaging, contextual materials to foster language use in the classroom. The focus is shifted from achieving high test scores to developing functional language skills, arguing that the true measure of success is a student's ability to communicate effectively in the target language

Equivalence in meaning: A Comparative analysis of Nida’s and Newmark’s translation theories
Recently, there has been an increase in studies examining equivalence in meaning in translation, particularly in relation to how translators convey complex layers of meaning. While many studies have investigated equivalence, they often emphasize literal interpretations and frequently neglecting the underlying nuances associated with these translations. This paper presents a comparative analysis of Eugene Nida’s theories of dynamic and formal equivalence and Peter Newmark’s concepts of semantic and communicative translation. These theories represent foundational approaches to achieving equivalence in translation, particularly between culturally distinct languages like English and Arabic. This study analyzes how these theories inform Nida’s dynamic equivalence prioritizes the effect on the target audience and it aiming to create a natural and culturally adapted translation, while his formal equivalence focuses on maintaining the original structure and linguistic form of the source text. In contrast, Newmark’s semantic translation strives for precise meaning, even at the cost of readability, while communicative translation emphasizes accessibility and cultural resonance. Through the applications, benefits, and limitations of each approach, this study highlights how these theories address different translation needs, from preserving textual accuracy to enhancing reader comprehension. Practical examples are provided in both Arabic and English to illustrate the distinct impacts of these theories. finally, this paper argues that the choice of translation approach depends on the specific goals and audience of the translation task, contributing insights to the ongoing discourse on effective translation strategies.
 
EMPLOYING DIARY WRITING TO DEVELOP STUDENTS’ WRITING SKILLS AND THEIR PERCEPTION OF THE TECHNIQUE
Writing still becomes the hardest among other skills. Several problems in writing a recount text include developing ideas, limited vocabulary and tenses specifically verb changes. The objectives of the research are to improve students’ skills in writing recount text through diary writing technique and explore students’ perception about the application of the technique. Employing Classroom Action Research, the research was conducted at the class eighth B of MTs SA Biroyatul Huda Cilongok of academic year 2022/2023. The class consists of 27 students. There were two cycles conducted in this research. Instruments used for data collection are writing test, observation and questionnaire. The written test was aimed to assess the students’ ability in writing recount text before and after given diary writing as a help to assist students producing recount text. Observation was aimed to see students’ and teacher’s behaviour during the instructional process. The questionnaire was administered to explore the students’ perception on the use of diary writing to write recount text. The outcome indicates the average score of the test improve more than 30%, from 27.5 in pre-test to 60.67 in post-test. The students’ perception is likely tended to show positive response with 34.04% agreement and 28.12% disagreement. Based on the result, it can be concluded that diary writing is one of the techniques that can help improving students’ skills in writing recount text

Analisis Kebutuhan Modul Ajar Seni Lukis pada Anak Usia Dini di RA Rumah Kreatif Wadas Kelir
This study aims to analyze the need for a painting teaching module for early childhood and teachers at RA Rumah Kreatif Wadas Kelir. The research method used is qualitative descriptive, with data collected through observation, in-depth interviews, questionnaires distributed to teachers, and documentation of children’s painting activities. The results indicate that teachers require a structured, enjoyable, and flexible teaching module. Children also need painting activities that are aligned with their motor development stages and visual interests. The lack of contextual, art-based teaching resources has caused art learning to proceed spontaneously, without clear direction. Therefore, developing a painting teaching module tailored to local needs is crucial to improving the quality of learning and fostering children's creativity. The findings are categorized into two groups of analysis: (1) Analysis of Students’ Needs and (2) Analysis of Teachers’ Needs. These two categories are further explored to cover students’ and teachers’ interests, material needs, physical aspects of the module, and content presentation needs of the teaching module
