Abstract

This study explores English lecturers’ perceptions, experiences, and challenges in implementing literature infused with ecoliteracy in English language teaching at the higher education level. As environmental issues become increasingly critical, fostering ecoliteracy has emerged as a key educational objective. Using a qualitative research design, the study employed semi-structured interviews with three English lecturers at MNC University, an institution committed to sustainability and interdisciplinary education. Thematic analysis revealed that lecturers view literary texts as effective tools for promoting environmental awareness, critical thinking, and student engagement. Genres such as poetry, fiction, and drama were identified as particularly impactful for embedding ecological themes. The lecturers implemented a range of teaching methods, including project-based learning, group discussion, and performance, to enhance ecoliteracy in their classrooms. However, challenges such as limited curriculum flexibility, student disengagement, and inadequate institutional resources were also reported. Despite these barriers, the lecturers agreed that implementing ecoliteracy through literature enriches language instruction and promotes socially and environmentally conscious learning. This research contributes to the discourse on sustainable education by highlighting the transformative role of ecoliterary practices in English language teaching and offering practical insights for curriculum development and teacher training.

The researchers use McCarty and O’Dell’s theory of idioms and Peirce’s theory of signs for the data analysis. By doing this research, it is found that many kinds of idiomatic expressions like similes, binomials, proverbs, etc. can be found on the movies so that it will be easier for the readers to understand the usage of idiomatic expressions in any form of context.

Abstract

Filial Piety is a value rooted form Confucianism. This value demands one to respect parents. As this value spreads widely in East Asia, this study aims to investigate what filial piety values contained in Doraemon and Kobo Chan, and to examine which same filial piety values shared in both comic books. Doraemon and Kobo Chan are chosen since these two comic books are originated from Japan whose society adopts filial piety. These two comic books are important to be studied since the two were highly popular in Indonesia in the late 1990’s and early 2000’s and were enjoyed by many Indonesian children. This study found that acquiescent respect and care respect are two values having the highest numbers of appearances in Doraemon and Kobo Chan, respectively. While the values contained in both comic books are acquiescent respect and respecting the ancestors. It is hoped that future studies could examine the relation between these values contained in both comic books and Indonesia’s young generation’s decision to take a role as a sandwich generation.
