Abstract

The focus of this research is a sociolinguistic examination of the impact of gender on language use. The primary goal of this research is to analyze the implications of men's and women's roles on their language usage. This research aims to highlight the variables that contribute to disparities in how gender impacts language use. This study's inquiry method is a questionnaire and audio-recoding. This study has shown differences in how men and women use language in our society and others like it. They use only some of the same forms; instead, they use different quantities or frequencies of the same form. In a society where gender plays a significant role, language is essential in contributing to that role. Gender roles, men's and women's identities, the hierarchical nature of gender relations, and men's dominance are all factors that contribute to differences in language use. Gender differentiation does not exist in a vacuum; it interacts with other types of social differentiation in a complex way. Language and gender, on the other hand, are formed through participation in everyday social activities. In conclusion, gender and language are inextricably linked.

Abstract

Many academics have studied niche establishment tactics in journal articles, but none have studied two or more sets of journal articles in language studies. This study identifies how Scopus and Sinta English Language Teaching journal authors niche their research paper abstracts and introductions. Niche Establishment techniques in Sinta and Scopus-indexed journals were examined using qualitative and quantitative methods. This analysis used 100 Scopus- and Sinta-indexed research articles. From randomly selected journals' newest issues, research article parts were extracted. Most authors in the two sets of research publications define a niche in the introduction, but few do in the abstracts. Scopus-index journals use Strategy 2 (insufficient research) and Strategy 5 (suggesting solutions) the most, while Sinta-indexed journals use Strategy 2 and Strategy 1. For rookie authors and postgraduate students, this study proposes niche establishment tactics in research paper abstracts or introductions to improve writing.

Abstract

Interactive metadiscourse markers in the discussion section of a journal play a crucial role in engaging the reader and facilitating a more dynamic interaction. In a discussion journal section, interactive metadiscourse markers may include phrases or expressions that invite the reader to consider alternative viewpoints, respond to the presented ideas, or reflect on the implications of the research findings. This research investigated interactive metadiscourse markers in research article discussion of language teaching within 30 articles published in local, national, and international journals. A mixed-methods approach was adopted and the instrument used in this research was a checklist designed to analyze interactive metadiscourse. The result of the inter-rater agreement of the co-rater and researcher indicated a kappa value of  90.2% (co-rater and researcher respectively) because it shows excellent agreement (above 80%). It shows that the highest frequency used of interactive metadiscourse category is transitions markers in the three-level journals. Evidential markers took the second position in frequency used followed by code glossed in third frequency. Endophoric markers and frame markers are less used by the writers in the article discussions. The research articles published in international reputable journals show the highest number of using interactive metadiscourse devices than the articles published in local and national journals.

Abstract

Teaching materials based on Cross Cultural Understanding (CCU) are educational resources that provide information on cross-cultural understanding, presenting reading texts complemented with questions and learning activities focused on the cultural contrasts between Indonesia and foreign countries. The innovation of teaching materials for pedagogical purposes is crucial in the learning process. Hence, this activity aims to assist high school English teachers in Lubuklinggau through a Cross Cultural Understanding approach, enabling them to develop effective teaching materials. This initiative highlights the importance of cultural understanding in English language teaching, with an emphasis on contrasting local and target cultures. Involving 40 teachers from 23 schools, the training included presentations on cultural integration, the CCU concept, examples of CCU-based teaching materials, and the creation of questions oriented towards High Order Thinking Skills (HOTS). The results indicate that the training significantly enhanced the teachers' understanding and skills in integrating cultural aspects into English language teaching materials, as well as their awareness of the importance of cross-cultural sensitivity. This is reflected in the high satisfaction rates, with 87.5% of the participants affirming that the training content met their needs and 90% feeling they had directly benefited. This study underscores the significance of CCU training in professional development for teachers and highlights the necessity for more inclusive and culturally sensitive educational approaches in both global and local contexts

It is the first section to be read by readers and if readers are not impressed in reading this section, they will unlikely continue reading the article.

Abstract

Religious values are needed in textbooks and learning process, such as in English Language Teaching (henceforth ELT) for both the student and teachers to support character education as suggested by the government of Indonesia. Indonesian people have more than one believes or religion and the most dominant one is Islam. This is important because Islamic characters can be an alternative media for students and teachers in the teaching and learning processes. There were three grades of English textbooks chosen in this investigation. The results showed that there are three aspects of religious values: ritual, social and material and the majority found in the textbooks was material aspect. In addition, there are two ways how Islamic characters are represented in the textbooks: visual and non-visual. The second result showed that the dominant value aspect is visual. This implies that English textbooks used by senior high school do not focus on ritual, social and non-visual aspects in developing English textbooks.

This research used a descriptive qualitative method. The object of this study is Beauty and The Beast movie script by Stephen Chbosky and Evan Spiliotopoulos. Documentation and checklist were used in data collection. The results showed that the distribution of scenes in the Beauty and The Beast movie script are found in the orientation section, complication section, rising action section, turning point section and resolution section. Coda is not found in this movie. Then, person deixis, social deixis and spatial deixis are the most dominant deixis in Beauty and The Beast movie script. Finally, there were five types of deixis in the orientation section, complication section, rising action section, turning point section but there are only two types of deixis that are found in the resolution section in the Beauty and the Beast movie script.

Abstract

Although there have been studies on the ways writers argue for the importance of their work in their journal article abstracts, such studies on journal article abstracts in the field of Islamic studies have never been conducted. This is important because authors from different fields use different rhetorical styles and linguistic features in their journal articles, such as in their abstracts. The purpose of this study is to look into the argument strategy used in journal article abstracts that are published in local and refereed journals in the field of Islamic studies. For this study, 60 abstracts (i.e., 20 from Indonesian-based journals, 20 from Indonesian-based refereed journals, and 20 from international refereed journals) in Islamic studies were selected and analyzed. The findings indicate that, in terms of abstract length, the three groups of articles are not significantly different; however, in terms of the appearance of Move 1 (introduction, background, or setting) and article justification argument types, they are different. The articles published in the two groups of reputable journals (Indonesian-based and International Refereed Journals) are similar but different from those in Indonesian-based journals. This implies that local journal authors should modify their rhetorical and argumentative styles in their abstracts to match those found in reputable journals, thereby improving the quality of the abstracts.
