Abstract

This study explores the morphological process in the Javanese language where numerical phrases are transformed into verbs through the addition of the prefix "N-." This process is not only a linguistic phenomenon but also deeply rooted in Javanese culture and socio-religious practices. The urgency of this study lies in documenting and analysing how these transformations reflect cultural traditions, particularly the ceremonial practices observed after specific days following someone's death, such as the third, seventh, fortieth, one hundredth, and one-thousandth days. A review of previous studies shows a lack of focus on the intersection of language, culture, and religion in the transformation of numerical phrases into verbs. This study fills this gap by examining the specific phrases "telung dina" (three days), "pitung dina" (seven days), "patang puluh dina" (forty days), "satus" (one hundred), and "sewu" (one thousand), which are culturally significant in Javanese rituals, and their transformation into verbs such as "nelung dina," "mitung dina," "matang puluh dina," "nyatus," and "nyewu." The analysis demonstrates that the prefix "N-" not only verbalizes these phrases but also embodies the cultural significance of the corresponding periods, turning static expressions into action-oriented verbs that imply ceremonial activities. The conclusion emphasizes the importance of this morphological process in understanding how the Javanese language encapsulates cultural values and practices, offering new insights into the relationship between language, culture, and religion in Austronesian linguistics.

Abstract

This study examines the interplay between language structure and social relations in hierarchical interactions, focusing on the speeches of religious lecturers addressing street food vendors. Using a qualitative approach, the research employs direct observation and audio recordings to capture the linguistic features and social dynamics within these interactions. The data were analyzed through pragmatic and sociolinguistic frameworks to uncover patterns in language use and relational positioning. The findings reveal that religious lecturers utilize distinct linguistic strategies, including simplified language, contextualized examples, and persuasive rhetoric, to engage their audience effectively. Moreover, the social relations within these interactions are characterized by hierarchical, paternalistic, and authority-based dynamics, reflecting broader cultural and societal structures. This study highlights the role of language in shaping power relations and provides insights into the pragmatic and sociolinguistic mechanisms underlying hierarchical communication.

Abstract

The study of mother tongue is becoming increasingly important in understanding the dynamics of language's relationship to cultural identity, cognition, and society. Mother tongue, as the first language learned from infancy, not only influences the way individuals communicate, but also shapes the way they think and see the world. In the context of globalization which is increasingly accelerating the development of international languages, it is critical to evaluate how mother tongues continue to play an important role in education and the maintenance of cultural identity. This research aims to examine critical thinking regarding the existence and importance of mother tongues in education and cultural sustainability, using a document study approach. The analysis was carried out through a review of relevant literature regarding language policy, the foundational role of mother tongue in academic instruction, and the challenges faced by language minority communities. Based on the results of the analysis, it was found that the mother tongue not only supports better understanding in education but also contributes to the preservation of cultural identity. However, there are major challenges related to global language dominance that could threaten its sustainability. In conclusion, there is a need for policies that support the use of mother tongues in schools and society to maintain a balance between globalization and cultural preservation.

Abstract

English speaking fluency is a vital communication skill for engineering students, especially in the context of increasing global collaboration and the internationalization of higher education. However, many engineering students face persistent challenges in oral communication due to a lack of confidence, limited exposure to authentic speaking environments, and traditional language teaching methods that prioritize passive learning. This study explores the effectiveness of Problem-Based Learning (PBL) as an instructional approach to enhance English speaking fluency among engineering students. PBL is rooted in constructivist learning theory and emphasizes collaborative, learner-centered activities that simulate real-world problem-solving scenarios. Through a quasi-experimental research design, two groups of engineering students at a public university in Indonesia were observed over one academic semester. The experimental group engaged in PBL-driven English speaking sessions, while the control group received conventional speaking instruction. Pre- and post-intervention assessments, alongside qualitative data from classroom observations and student reflections, were analyzed to measure improvements in fluency, coherence, and language complexity. The results revealed that the PBL group demonstrated significantly higher gains in speaking fluency compared to the control group. Moreover, students reported increased motivation, reduced speaking anxiety, and greater engagement in communicative tasks. These findings suggest that integrating PBL into English for Specific Purposes (ESP) instruction can provide engineering students with meaningful opportunities to practice language in contextually rich and cognitively engaging environments. This research contributes to the growing body of literature on innovative pedagogy in language education and offers practical implications for curriculum designers, language instructors, and policymakers aiming to improve communicative competence in STEM fields. Future studies are recommended to examine long-term impacts and scalability across diverse educational settings.

Abstract

The findings of several references reveal that most unemployed social science graduates have poor communication skills and collaborative skills. A revolutionary and visionary learning process is needed to improve the ability of graduates through vocational education that emphasizes practice rather than theory. A constructive learning environment with the application of cooperative learning strategies provides an active learning experience for students and simultaneously studies subjects. The group investigation-based learning structure is accompanied by the support of a learning management system (LMS) which aims to increase the effectiveness of learning and improve communication and collaborative skills. The implementation of online learning is improved by referring to the principles of e-learning. Learning management system interactive tools and other applications are provided for the needs of students in learning activities. This article also discusses the online learning syntax that supports the process of interaction and communication in the implementation of cooperative learning.

Abstract

In the lens of technology used in classroom instruction, the 360-video virtual reality begins to use in the education field. This study aimed to identify the Indonesian language students in the higher education level perceptions of the use of SVVR (Spherical Virtual-based Video Reality) which was operated through the smartphone. The performance expectancy (PE) and effort expectancy (EE) in the UTAUT theory was employed to assess the data. There were 131 sophomores who learn the Indonesian language in the tourism department in the State Polytechnic of Bali involved to provide specific arguments through the questionnaire. The result of the study explained that learners in the Polytechnic education system were keen to engage SVVR (Spherical Virtual-Video Based Reality) during the teaching and learning process. Additionally, this learning medium elevated students’ urge significantly in learning the Indonesian language. Subsequently, the SVVR will be a promising tool employed by the lecturer who teaches the learners in the applied education system. These learning materials ought to be explored and developed more systematically by lecturers in underpinning students’ demand for knowledge and materials understanding in vocational education.
