Abstract

This study analyzes the politeness strategies employed by the main character, Ji-Yoon Kim, in the Netflix series The Chair using Brown and Levinson’s (1987) politeness theory. A qualitative descriptive approach was employed, combining systematic frequency counting with contextual qualitative interpretation to examine how the character constructs social and professional relationships through language. Data were drawn from dialogue transcriptions across six episodes and analyzed through a structured content analysis procedure involving the identification, classification, and interpretation of politeness strategies. The findings reveal 78 instances of politeness strategies: 23 bald-on-record (29.49%), 30 positive politeness (38.46%), 21 negative politeness (26.92%), and 4 off-record (5.13%). Positive politeness emerges as the most dominant strategy, indicating Kim’s orientation toward solidarity-building and relational maintenance within academic and interpersonal contexts. The findings suggest that politeness functions not merely as etiquette but as a strategic communicative resource for negotiating leadership, authority, and identity in institutional settings. By examining politeness in a contemporary media narrative, this study contributes to pragmatic research on leadership discourse and identity performance in professional communication.

Abstract

Computer-Assisted Language Learning (CALL) has been widely implemented to support motivation and language development in English for Specific Purposes (ESP) instruction. However, empirical studies examining its use in English for Islamic Banking within Islamic higher education contexts remain limited. This study investigates the effectiveness of CALL in enhancing students’ motivation and language skills in an English for Islamic Banking course at an Islamic higher education institution. Employing a quasi-experimental one-group pre-test/post-test design, the study involved 20 undergraduate Islamic Banking students who participated in a CALL-based instructional intervention conducted over six sessions. Data were collected through language proficiency assessments based on an IELTS speaking rubric and a motivation questionnaire based on Keller’s ARCS model. The findings indicate a statistically significant improvement in language proficiency (t(19) = 2.42, p = 0.025, Cohen’s d = 0.53). In addition, Attention (d = 0.63), Confidence (t(19) = 2.29, p = 0.033, d = 0.52), and Satisfaction (d = 1.17) showed significant gains, with Satisfaction demonstrating the largest effect size. Meanwhile, the Relevance component showed no significant change (p = 0.33), possibly due to students’ prior perception of the course content as inherently applicable to their academic and professional goals. The study suggests that CALL can serve as an effective pedagogical approach for supporting learner motivation and language development in ESP courses within Islamic higher education, particularly when instructional activities are aligned with learners’ professional contexts in Islamic finance.

Abstract

This review critically analyses research methodologies of two research articles (RA) which titled Assessing the quality of arguments in students’ persuasive writing: A case study analysing the relationship between surface structure and substance by Stapleton and Wu (2015) and Disciplinary and ethnolinguistic influences on citation in research articles by Hu and Wang (2014). Whereas Stapleton and Wu (2015) used Toulmin model and questionnaires to gather data, Hu and Wang (2014) applied CBA (Corpus-Based Approach). Although methodologies used in both RAs are suitable for the research, the questionnaires used in Stapleton and Wu (2015) will gather better result with slightly different wording. Besides analysing the methodologies, the review also discusses the implications of those RAs to EAP teaching

Abstract

This study investigated the impact of an English camp on the motivational factors of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners. Thirty high school students participated in an eight-day English camp, and pre- and post-camp questionnaires adapted from Taguchi et al. (2009) were used to measure changes in motivation. The key constructs examined included criterion measures, the ideal L2 self, the ought-to L2 self, family influence, instrumentality, attitudes toward learning English, linguistic confidence, and learning interest. Results showed increases in linguistic confidence (from M = 3.50 to 3.83), the ideal L2 self, and the ought-to L2 self (both from M = 3.27 to 3.50), suggesting that the camp experience helped students develop stronger self-perceptions as English users. Meanwhile, slight decreases in criterion measures (3.69 to 3.58), instrumentality (3.63 to 3.54), and learning interest (3.50 to 3.17) may indicate a shift away from external motivators and highlight the need for more engaging and practically relevant activities. These findings suggest that future English camps should prioritize building students' ideal L2 selves through personalized goal-setting and confidence-building tasks, while also incorporating exposure to professionals who use English in real-world contexts (e.g., pilots, engineers, or flight attendants) to strengthen practical motivation. Additionally, camp activities should include diverse, student-centered formats to sustain engagement and prevent motivational fatigue. More broadly, EFL teaching practices can benefit from adopting similar strategies—fostering learners’ linguistic confidence and internal motivation through authentic, meaningful language use beyond test preparation.

Abstract

The study intends to investigate the effectiveness of digital storytelling in enhancing literacy and forming attitudes toward cash waqf among a group of college students majoring in Islamic banking study. This study applied a quasi-experimental design without a control group due to the limited number of participants. Twenty college students were involved in this study. In addition to a seven-week treatment, a set of questionnaires and semi-structured interviews were administered to the participants. The results demonstrate that the participants’ literacy levels and attitudes toward cash waqf showed an improvement after being taught using digital storytelling. Additionally, the participants showed enhanced understanding of the practical applications and benefits of cash waqf for ummah.  The present study is restricted by the relatively small number of participants and the absence of control group, limiting generalizability and causal inference. Hence, future studies should include larger samples and comparative designs to increase the validity of the findings. This study provides better insights toward the integration of digital storytelling into cash waqf education, enabling an innovative and engaging approach to encourage financial literacy and social awareness in Islamic finance contexts.

Abstract

Different teachers might have different influence on students’ motivation as well as perceptions. The present study aims to analyse the differences in students’ motivation and perceptions toward of two different types of teachers; NEST (Native English Speaking Teachers) and NNEST (Non-Native English Speaking Teachers). The present study applied a mixed method approach by distributing a set of questionnaires to sixty junior high school students and interviewing four of them to answer its research questions. The results indicate students’ motivation to learn English with NEST because students think it will improve their speaking skills. In addition, NEST’ accents and cultural knowledge motivate students to learn English with them. On the other hand, the results suggest that students are motivated to learn English with NNEST because they are more understanding to students’ learning difficulties and NNEST can resort to students’ L1 when students need it. Thus, students seem to have their own perceptions of the disadvantages and advantages of NEST and NNEST. To minimise the disadvantages, co-teaching seems imperative to be conducted to improve students’ learning experience. In addition, pre-service teachers need to be aware of their own advantages and disadvantages either as NNEST or NEST. Educational institutions should also provide in-service teachers training to help their teachers reducing their disadvantages and maximising their advantages.

Abstract

Translating subtitles from Javanese into English poses both linguistic and cultural challenges, particularly in conveying culturally specific terms accurately while maintaining readability. This study analyzes the subtitling strategies employed in the Netflix series Gadis Kretek, using Gottlieb’s (1992) framework. A qualitative content analysis was conducted on 104 subtitle instances. The findings reveal that transfer is the most frequently used strategy (46 occurences), indicating that the translator often opted for direct, faithful renderings of the source text without major structural or lexical modifications. Paraphrase (21) and expansion (17) follow, reflecting efforts to restructure sentences for naturalness, clarify implicit meanings, and provide additional context for cultural concepts that lack direct equivalents in English. Less frequently applied strategies include decimation (8), condensation (6), and deletion (5), primarily used to reduce or omit elements due to temporal and spatial constraints inherent in subtitling. Imitation appears only once, reserved for proper names or culturally bound expressions that could be transferred without modification. Overall, the predominance of transfer, paraphrase, and expansion highlights a translator preference for preserving meaning while enhancing accessibility and comprehension for a global audience. The systematic categorization of each instance, including linguistic form, contextual meaning, and cultural relevance, demonstrates that subtitling strategies in Gadis Kretek are applied flexibly and contextually, balancing fidelity to the source language with the practical limitations and cultural expectations of the target audience. These findings offer insights for translators and audiovisual translation researchers in managing culturally specific contents in subtitling.

Abstract

Kemampuan berbicara bahasa Inggris memberikan nilai tambah bagi generasi muda, terutama pada dunia perkuliahan dan dunia kerja. Namun, rendahnya motivasi belajar dan keterbatasan kemampuan berbahasa Inggris masih menjadi hambatan utama bagi siswa sekolah menengah kejuruan. Pembelajaran berbasis permainan (game-based learning) dipandang sebagai salah satu pendekatan yang mampu meningkatkan motivasi, keterlibatan, dan minat siswa dalam belajar bahasa Inggris. Kegiatan pengabdian ini bertujuan meningkatkan motivasi dan kemampuan berbicara bahasa Inggris siswa melalui penerapan game-based learning yang dipadukan dengan sesi berbagi pengalaman dari praktisi. Kegiatan dilaksanakan di SMK Karya Guna 2 Bekasi pada 3 Agustus 2024 dengan melibatkan 72 siswa dari beberapa SMK dan SMA di Kota Bekasi sebagai mitra. Metode yang digunakan meliputi permainan bahasa, diskusi, praktik langsung, dan wawancara. Evaluasi dilakukan melalui kuesioner berskala Likert yang terdiri atas lima butir serta wawancara singkat dengan peserta. Hasil evaluasi menunjukkan respons positif peserta berkisar antara 80% hingga 100%, dengan penilaian tertinggi pada kejelasan penyampaian materi dan 80% peserta menyatakan minat untuk terus belajar bahasa Inggris setelah kegiatan. Kegiatan ini berkontribusi dalam meningkatkan motivasi belajar bahasa Inggris siswa sekaligus menjadi model pelatihan yang dapat direplikasi pada sekolah menengah kejuruan lain untuk meningkatkan daya saing lulusan di dunia kerja.
