Abstract

Parenting styles can be influenced by a number of sociocultural factors, one of which is generation gap. This study analyses the kinds of parenting styles evident in the film 20th Century Women (2016). The study specifically focuses on the main character Dorothea’s ways of raising her son Jamie, who is forty years apart in age. The analysis points to three different parenting styles adopted by Dorothea: (1) authoritative, (2) authoritarian, and (3) permissive. The study confirms that generation gap has influenced the kinds of parenting styles adopted by the character. This study has thus shed light on an important sociocultural as well as contextual factor influencing parenting style.

Abstract

The study aims to identify the learning resources that are employed in a language center at Indonesia's oldest university both for local and international foreign students. The study uses descriptive qualitative as the main approach through interviews with an English teacher coordinator and learning resources documentation analysis. The interview data and documents were analyzed through thematic analysis. The findings revealed that there is consideration of both types of classes in the same class, the study findings indicate that the instructional materials used for them are typically similar. Teachers still face difficulties since international students must attend classrooms where the bulk of the students speak Indonesian even though they still struggle to understand the language. In addition, this Pre-Intermediate program makes use of digital instructional resources. This is done since textbook-based teaching materials are viewed as being out of date and becoming less and less relevant to modern advancements. To help teachers improve their lesson plans and make them more relevant in the future, it is believed that the research's findings would be useful as evaluation material.

Abstract

Bilingual education is a system of education that uses two languages as classroom instruction. The demand for bilingual schools has increased quite significantly in Indonesia. Yet, bilingual teachers often face challenges in teaching bilingual classes especially those teaching at lower primary level. This study seeks to understand a teacher’s challenges and strategies in teaching a bilingual class. Adopting a qualitative case study with a first-grade primary school teacher as the participant, data were obtained through semi-structured interviews. The findings indicated two major kinds of challenges: internal and external. Similarly, the strategies adopted corresponded two the teacher’s internal and external motivations. This study suggests that bilingual teachers need to be provided with ample guidance and supervision in their bilingual classroom practice in order to create impactful learning. Further, collaboration between the school, teachers and parents is also necessary for the program to run smoothly. Keywords: bilingual education, lower primary level, teacher’s challenges, and strategies

Abstract

The mushrooming of English varieties across the globe has been one of the consequences of the status of English as an international language, making it a pluricentric language. Despite the global attention towards English, little is known about how Indonesian learners relate personal preference to language ownership. Drawing on Kachru’s (1992) three concentric circles and Widdowson’s (1994) language ownership, this study explores a total of thirty-four final-year Indonesian university students’ preferences and sense of ownership towards English. Through a qualitative case study research design, in which a questionnaire and interviews were employed to collect data, the study pointed to American English to be the most preferred, and by far the most popular, English variety among the students, followed by British and Australian English. While the students’ preference was tightly connected to the kind of English they were mostly exposed to as they were learning the language, the findings confirm that the inner circle varieties still hold more currency in comparison to other varieties. Yet, despite the more than decade-long of knowing, learning and engaging with the language, most of the students felt ambivalent in regard to their sense of ownership toward English. They indicated that language ownership transcends the ability to speak the language; rather, it is intricately intertwined with one’s sense of identity. This study calls for a more concerted effort to familiarize students with the different varieties of English in the classroom, hence making them more aware of the ideological dimension—such as native-speakerism—attached to the language.

Abstract

Video games are significant subjects in cultural studies because they are considered cultural artifacts. Like literary works, video games often incorporate social concepts and elements, such as justice, that are derived from real life. While much research has been conducted on fairness in video games, most studies focus on the perspectives of players and game developers. This study aims to explore the types of justice exercised by the protagonist and main antagonist of Lost Judgment and to understand the reasons behind their choices. The data were gathered from the dialogues between the two characters, with the types of justice identified using Deutsch et al.'s (2011) framework. The analysis was conducted through Smith’s (2017) textual analysis. The findings reveal that the protagonist, Takayuki Yagami, embodies distributive justice, while the antagonist, Jin Kuwana, represents retributive justice. Both characters share similar motivations for their perspectives on justice: traumatic experiences in their respective careers that left them with deep regret. Their views on justice are also influenced by their shared belief that the current legal system is flawed, prompting them to take justice into their own hands. This research concludes that the justice portrayed by the main characters of Lost Judgment reflects the game developer’s commentary on justice, as their traits are tied to issues that are particularly relevant in Japan.

Abstract

This study investigates EFL teachers' conceptualizations of culture and intercultural language learning (ILL) and examines how cultural values are reproduced in classroom practices. This research was conducted as a qualitative single-case exploratory study involving two senior high school EFL teachers from North Maluku, Indonesia, selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and document analysis, and analyzed thematically. The findings reveal distinct differences in how the teachers conceptualize culture and implement ILL. One teacher adopts a reflective and critical approach aligned with Byram's concept of critical cultural awareness, emphasizing integrating local culture and small 'c' culture through experiential learning. This approach reflects a dynamic view of culture (culture as verb) and actively seeks to balance the influence of target cultures with local values. In contrast, the other teacher views culture as static (culture as noun), focusing on Big' C' culture and pragmatic linguistic access, relying heavily on digital resources without direct intercultural experiences. Reflections in this approach remain cognitive and affective but are not fully translated into pedagogical practice. These findings demonstrate how personal experience, access to learning resources, and pedagogical orientation shape teachers' beliefs and practices. The study underscores the need for professional development programs to strengthen teachers' critical cultural awareness and contextually relevant intercultural practices, while also highlighting the importance of equitable access to intercultural learning opportunities to reduce overreliance on digital or conventional materials.

Abstract

This study investigated the professional identity construction of two Indonesian English teachers pursuing a Master’s degree in ELT. Framed within Yazan’s (2018) sociocultural theory of language teacher identity, the research examined how critical incidents and significant moments shape the participants' trajectories in English language teaching. By utilizing narrative inquiry, this study offers nuanced insights into the evolving professional identities of ELT graduate students, emphasizing the interplay between personal experiences and professional development. The findings contribute to a deeper understanding of teacher identity formation in the Indonesian context, highlighting its inherent complexity and fluidity.
