Abstract

The "Uang Panai" (bridewealth) custom holds significant cultural weight in various Indonesian ethnic groups, particularly among the Bugis, Moronene, and Sunda. This study investigates the intricate relationship between tradition and contemporary perceptions surrounding Uang Panai in these three distinct communities. Utilizing a qualitative approach with an ethnographic design, the research employed in-depth interviews and participant observation with community elders, young adults, and cultural figures in selected regions of South Sulawesi (Bugis), Southeast Sulawesi (Moronene), and West Java (Sunda). Key findings reveal diverse interpretations and practices of Uang Panai, ranging from its symbolic value as a reflection of family honor and social status among the Bugis, to its more pragmatic function as a shared financial responsibility in the Moronene community. In contrast, the Sundanese perspective, while acknowledging traditional dowry, shows less emphasis on a comparable "Uang Panai" concept, often prioritizing the couple's readiness. The study concludes that while Uang Panai remains a fundamental cultural element, its execution and societal acceptance are continually shaped by evolving socio-economic conditions and generational perceptions, leading to varying degrees of adaptation and preservation across these Indonesian ethnic groups.

Abstract

This study investigated the difficulties encountered by both high- and low-achieving EFL students when finishing the  Duolingo English Test (DET) Free Practice Version. applying a qualitative descriptive comparative design, data information was gathered using semi structured conversations with five students. Results indicate that although the DET platform was initially perceived as accessible and supported by clear instructions, students still experienced linguistic, technical, and psychological challenges. Limited vocabulary and grammar, time pressure, spontaneous responses in speaking and writing, and unstable connections were the most frequently reported difficulties, especially among low-achievers. High-achievers appeared more confident and employed more effective strategies, enabling them to better adapt to the adaptive test format. These results suggest that achievement level influences how students cope with the demands of digital assessments. This research highlights the requirement for focused preparation and improved methods support to help EFL learners better navigate DET tasks.
