Abstract

The role of a language teacher as a character educator and peace-builder is sometimes undermined by the pervasive thinking that language teaching solely entails transference of knowledge about language. However, it is a fallacy that language teaching is not facilitative of character development. Since language has the power of creating peace and even war, this study seeks to interrogate how a language teacher as a leader in a classroom can be a model of peacebuilding through language use. Using New Peace Linguistics (henceforth NPL)—a newly emerging framework in linguistics and peace studies—this study analyzed the pragmatics, specifically the speech acts, as found in Erin Gruwell’s utterances in “Freedom Writers”, a movie about teacher who has to deal with a group of rebellious students. The study found that Erin Gruwell mostly used mediating, expressing empathic concern, complimenting, disciplining, apologizing, giving instruction, and encouraging for creating peace, healing traumatic experiences, and changing the students’ behavior.

Abstract

Collaborative testing—a two-stage testing modality in which students do tests as a group and individually—has been extensively researched and found to improve learning. However, most collaborative testing research has focused on non-English language learning. Therefore, this study examines the effects of group-individual collaborative testing (GICT) on English reading test achievement and student views of GICT. This sequential explanatory mixed-methods study gathered quantitative data from both treatment and control groups, primarily comprising students' correct answers, followed by qualitative insights derived from students' reflections on their learning experiences. Quantitative data demonstrates that GICT had a significant effect on students' reading achievement tests. While the qualitative data reveals that students considered GICT was a good reading testing modality, with some notes on the scoring method. Practice and research implications include 1) using GICT to test other language skills, 2) diversifying group composition, 3) giving more weight to the individual part score because students will retrieve more information during this stage, and 4) instilling collaborative learning values before testing.

Abstract

Although the Korean Wave has grown exponentially in Indonesia, much of the linguistic landscape has not received enough attention in the literature, especially the motivational aspect. Based on the L2 Motivation Self System (L2MSS), the present study focuses on the language learning stories of Indonesian learners of Korean as a foreign language (KFL)—consisting of two females and one male.  Their language learning stories cover the past, present, and future trajectories of their language learning. Four salient themes are generated through the interview–the questions of which were partially based on the Language Learning Story Interview. The first theme is related to the pure interest in the popular culture of Korea—mostly related to the exponential growth of the Korean Wave. The second theme is characterized by the aspiration to get jobs in Korea. The third theme concerns education or the desire to pursue higher education in Korea. Lastly, parental support and intercultural marriage form the last source of motivation and contribute to creating a supporting learning environment. Conclusively, this study reveals that Indonesian KFL learners mostly exhibit both ideal L2 self and ought-to L2 self–with the former being more dominant than the latter. Implications of the study are also provided.

Abstract

This qualitative study focuses on Indonesian transnational fans’ consumption of Korean dramas (hereafter K-dramas) during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study highlights the fans’ lived experiences, thoughts, and interpretation of Korean culture in watching K-dramas as well as how they construct identities through their consumption and articulation in their everyday lives. This study used qualitative questionnaire as the instrument to collect the data for the study. Using thematic analysis, the study reveals that there were four emerging motivating factors to watch K-Dramas among Indonesian viewers: fresh substitutive choice, easy access, interesting stories and visuals, and cultural factors. Additionally, the study also showed four outcomes of their consumptive behavior: language acquisition and motivation to learn Korean, cultural understanding and new perceptions of Korea, pursuit of education, and pure entertainment and stress-reliever. Hence, this study contributes to the body of literature on K-Dramas consumption, especially in the era of COVID-19 pandemic.

Abstract

This article explores the representation of an older female adult (OFA) in the Korean drama Strong Woman Gang Nam-Soon. While scholarship on OFA has revealed their lack of positive representation—resulting in multifarious detriments—literature on OFA in K-drama is considerably scanty. Hence, this article employs content analysis, focusing on one of the protagonists, Gil Jung-Gan. Additionally, to enrich the discussion, industrial analysis was also carried out. The critical discussion focuses on three major aspects: 1) the feminist perspective influencing the K-drama industry, 2) principles of agentive and powerful OFA character, and 3) beauty and successful aging discourse. This article argues that the positive representation of Gil Jung-Gan is the manifestation of the progressive movement and influence of local and global feminism, which can be traced through the fulfillment of the majority of the principles. Additionally, the series incorporates successful aging discourse to represent Gil Jung-Gan as an agentive and non-traditional OFA, which is achieved mainly by physical appearance and social engagement.
