The purpose of discussing five poems from “Selamat Ulang Tahun, Buku” by Joko Pinurbo, “Hiu” by Nirwan Dewanto, “Because I could not stop for Death” by Emily Dickinson, “The Mangroves” by Mary Oliver, and “Laughing Song” by William Blake which have personification. The method used in this article is a qualitative descriptive approach. The results obtained are that the five poems above have human nature embedded in the form of objects (such as ‘buku,’ ‘streams,’ and ‘hills’), animals (such as ‘hiu,’ ‘ubur-ubur,’ ‘cumi-cumi,’ ‘grasshopper,’ and ‘birds’), abstract (such as death), plants (such as ‘mangroves,’ ‘green woods,’ and ‘meadow’), and gas (such as ‘air’). The five forms above are examples of personification. So the conclusion is that in Joko Pinurbo's poem, there are objects that behave like humans; in Nirwan Dewanto's poem, human nature is linked to three animals; in Emily Dickinson’s poem, it is said that Death has a quiet, honest, and cruel behavioural action; in Mary Oliver's poem it is said that mangroves have the nature to discuss with the narrator; William Blake gives the nature of happiness to objects and animals. Thus, personification functions as a complement to characteristics, emotions, and position as a story character.

Advances in artificial intelligence (AI) have brought about significant changes in English Language Teaching (ELT). ChatGPT, as a language-based AI model, offers various benefits to students, such as improving writing skills, providing instant feedback, as well as supporting independent learning. However, its use also presents challenges, such as the risk of dependency, potential plagiarism, as well as a lack of digital literacy in assessing the credibility of information. This study aims to analyze students' and lecturers' perspectives on the use of ChatGPT in ELT. The method used was Systematic Literature Review (SLR) with PRISMA approach, analyzing 17 articles from Mendeley, ERIC, and Taylor & Francis databases. The results showed that ChatGPT changes the role of lecturers from material deliverers to facilitators who guide students in using AI critically and ethically. Although it can help with the preparation of teaching materials and evaluation, the implementation of this technology requires clear academic policies and digital literacy training for educators. The findings provide insights for educators and institutions in optimizing the use of ChatGPT in ELT to be more effective and ethical.
