Abstract

The aim of this study was to analyze the multilingual practices and predominant languages used by an English teacher during classroom activities. It also sought to assess students' reactions to the teacher's language use and to determine the rationale for the teacher's choice of each language in the English language classroom. Six observations were conducted in the three selected classes to assess the use of Indonesian, English, Kluet, Jamee and Acehnese in classroom activities. A total of 48 student respondents from three classes completed the questionnaires, with the English teacher at Junior High School 1 Kluet Timur serving as the sample. The results showed that Indonesian was the most dominant language used in the classroom with a rate of 47.1%, followed by English, Kluet Jamee and Acehnese. The responses to the questionnaire showed that the students believed that using Indonesian and local languages in learning English could help them to understand the material presented by the teacher. In addition, the study showed that the teacher's reason for using Indonesian and local languages was to enhance students’ comprehension of English materials, which ensure effective learning.

Abstract

The use of swear words is common and even popular in movies for adult viewers. However, misunderstanding and ignorance of the intended viewers can cause younger viewers to be exposed to movies with various profanities. The Simpsons, an animated movie, is a good example of this phenomenon. This animated movie is known to contain obscene language expressions which can be mistakenly assumed to be intended for younger viewers. This study sought to identify the kinds and purposes of expletives used in The Simpsons. The current study used Hughes’ framework to analyze the types of swear words, and Andersson and Trudgill's framework was used to analyze their functions. Data were gathered from seven episodes drawn from different seasons of the animated series. Of 102 swear words found in the dialogues of the episodes, seven types of swear words were identified, including anatomical insult, excrement, sexual intercourse, personal background, mental illness, animal term, and religious oath. Additionally, four swearing meanings and functions were discovered abusive, auxiliary, expletive, and humorous. Therefore, it is expected that general readers will express themselves more thoughtfully, be able to identify the target audience for movies, and make more informed decisions when choosing movies for younger audiences.

Abstract

The Seumapa ceremony, a rhyming exchange ritual performed by a Syekh (reciter) representing both the brides (darabar) and the bridegrooms (lintbar) parties during Acehnese wedding ceremonies before the groom is allowed into the house of Acehnese society in Indonesia, stands as a testament to the role of cultural rituals in capturing and spreading societal values and norms. This study attempts to analyze this ceremony to reveal the social community, practice, and symbolic language within the Acehnese wedding context. It is to further understand how they shape the social cohesion and identity of the Acehnese community. By employing observations on three wedding ceremonies, and interviews with three elders of the community, the analysis of Seumapas cultural values reveals the ceremonys emphasis on etiquette, respect, social and religious identity, customary knowledge, and educational significance. Ritualistic greetings and gift exchanges portray communal harmony, while symbolic acts symbolic acts like lifting the curtain and presenting hantaran (ceremonial gifts) from the groom to the bride and vice versa represent social identity and mutual responsibility. The integration of religious knowledge depicts the communitys prioritization of spiritual preparedness, and the use of symbolic and metaphorical language reflects societal values and aspirations, signifying the importance of wisdom, respect, and communal bonds in preserving Acehnese cultural identity.

Abstract

This study explores English Language Teaching (ELT) methodologies at IAI Al-Aziziyah Islamic Institution, addressing the methods used, adherence to pedagogical criteria, and challenges in implementation. Employing a qualitative case study design with in-depth interviews involving four lecturers, the research revealed significant reliance on traditional approaches, particularly the Grammar-Translation Method (GTM), for teaching grammar and vocabulary. While contemporary methodologies like Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) and Content-Based Instruction (CBI) were adopted to some extent, their inconsistent application highlighted limitations, including inadequate use of real-life contexts and collaborative tasks. Minimal application of Task-Based Learning (TBL) and Total Physical Response (TPR) further reflected a gap between theoretical ideals and practice. Challenges such as large class sizes, limited teaching resources, and the complexity of integrating Islamic values into ELT were prominent. The findings emphasize the need for professional development, enhanced institutional support, and culturally adaptive teaching methods to improve ELT outcomes in the Aceh context. This study underscores the importance of aligning ELT methodologies with local cultural and religious values while fostering communicative competence and active learning. Future research should investigate innovative strategies for integrating Islamic perspectives into ELT practices.

Abstract

Examining the challenges in implementing Higher-Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) among certified English teachers offers valuable insights into teachers’ professional competences and the quality of the instructional process. This process involves the development of lesson and assessment plans, in which HOTS is a key component aligned with the demands of 21st-century education. This study aimed to explore the teaching practices and challenges encountered by three certified English teachers at Babul Maghfirah High School in Aceh in their efforts to integrate HOTS into classroom instruction. The research specifically focused on evaluating teaching activities based on established HOTS-based learning criteria and identifying the obstacles that hindered effective implementation. Data were collected using checklists, observation guides, and semi-structured interviews. The participants in this study were three certified English teachers, and the primary objects of analysis were their lesson plans, assessments, and teaching practices. This study adopted a qualitative descriptive approach within a case study framework. Data collection was conducted through classroom observations and in-depth interviews. The findings revealed that the instructional practices did not fully align with the principles of HOTS-based learning. Teacher-centered approaches remained dominant, the integration of 4C skills (critical thinking, communication, collaboration, and creativity) was incomplete, and conventional teaching methods were still prevalent. Furthermore, the study identified several contributing factors to these shortcomings, including limited teacher understanding of HOTS, insufficient school facilities, and students’ difficulties in comprehending lesson content. Therefore, the incomplete implementation of HOTS by certified English teachers reflected a broader issue of unmet criteria in HOTS-based instructional design.

Abstract

This research explores the use of conversational maxims and verbal offers in traditional market interactions in Pasar Aceh, Banda Aceh, Indonesia, aiming to expand the understanding of communication strategies that enhance seller-customer interactions. Despite extensive studies on Grice's Cooperative Principle in various contexts, limited research has examined how sellers in traditional markets strategically engage with these maxims to persuade customers. The study involved detailed observations, audio recordings, and interviews with eight Acehnese clothing sellers chosen for their active roles in daily market interactions. Using Grice's Cooperative Principle, which includes the maxims of quantity, quality, relevance, and manner, the findings reveal that these eight sellers strategically employ these maxims to persuade customers, with occasional variations encouraging smoother and more effective interactions. The analysis identified seven distinct verbal offer types: direct product mentions, polite customer calls, pricing discussions, product origin mentions, customer needs assessment, store entry invitations, and color-based product promotions. These findings provide a grounded theory of seller-customer interactions in traditional markets, presenting persuasive techniques that may enhance market engagement and consumer satisfaction. This study provides communication patterns within traditional market settings, especially in Aceh, and cross-cultural market communication research.

Abstract

This study examines the phonological varieties of Acehnese numeral words, using primary data from ten villages in the Aceh Jaya district on the west coast of Aceh, Indonesia, and supplementing it with secondary data from Standard Acehnese, Proto-Chamic, and other relevant languages and proto-languages. The research aims to elucidate the historical relationship between the Acehnese and Chamic languages through a comparative analysis. Fifteen numeral words (one to ten, eleven, twelve, twenty, one hundred, and one thousand) were elicited from informants aged 40 to 65. The collected data were recorded, transcribed into IPA symbols, and subsequently analysed. The findings indicate that the split between the Acehnese-Chamic branch and the Malayic languages occurred during the period when the terms for 'eight' and 'nine' were still undergoing lexical stabilisation. The Acehnese language was then subgrouped from Chamic, initially as a dialect. A few centuries later, the ancestors of the Acehnese migrated from mainland Southeast Asia to Sumatra, where their numeral system was subsequently influenced by borrowing from the Malay language. The dialects spoken on the west coast of Aceh retain linguistic evidence of the presence of a language similar to Proto-Chamic and its early contact with indigenous Sumatran populations, and those from the Malay Peninsula.
