Abstract

This article investigates how stigma around so-called “gang hand signs” is produced, circulated, andnegotiated in TikTok comments. Drawing on a case-bounded corpus of 675 comments posted under fivevideos from the account TopNotch Idiots (posted in 2023; comments captured in 2025), the analysisintegrates critical sociolinguistics and language-ideological perspectives with the concepts ofenregisterment and platformed racism. We operationalize a two-layer coding scheme: stigma processes(labeling, stereotyping, separation/status loss, discrimination) and sociolinguistic lenses (indexicals ofrisk, digital gatekeeping, platformed racism cues, moral-panic rhetoric). Findings show that gestures areenregistered as a default “danger register,” normalizing punitive discourse (“deserve to get hurt”);commenters perform outsider exclusion and moral boundary-making; and racialized/locational cuesalign with platformed racism, intensified by platform affordances and virality. We discuss implicationsfor critical media literacy and English language pedagogy in Indonesia, arguing that user-generateddiscourse not only mainstream media now participates in the production of stigma and public moralities.The study contributes to research on indexicality, platform governance, and digital vigilantism, andsuggests ethics-oriented classroom practices for interrogating harmful registers online.

Abstract

Kosakata merupakan komponen dasar dalam pembelajaran bahasa Inggris di sekolah dasar, namun penguasaannya masih sering terkendala oleh metode pembelajaran yang kurang variatif dan tidak sesuai dengan karakteristik belajar anak usia dini. Kegiatan Pengabdian kepada Masyarakat ini bertujuan untuk memperkenalkan kosakata bahasa Inggris dasar kepada siswa kelas 3 sekolah dasar melalui pendekatan pembelajaran kreatif berbasis art & craft. Metode pengabdian dilakukan dengan pendekatan learning by doing melalui kegiatan tematik seperti coloring craft, paper folding, dan vocabulary tree yang diintegrasikan dengan latihan listen and repeat. Kegiatan dilaksanakan secara langsung di kelas dengan pendampingan tim pengabdian dan guru kelas. Hasil kegiatan menunjukkan bahwa siswa terlibat aktif dalam pembelajaran, mampu mengikuti instruksi, serta menunjukkan peningkatan keberanian dalam menyebutkan dan melafalkan kosakata bahasa Inggris. Selain memberikan pengalaman belajar yang menyenangkan dan kontekstual bagi siswa, kegiatan ini juga memberikan manfaat bagi guru melalui pembelajaran kreatif yang aplikatif serta bagi mahasiswa melalui penguatan keterampilan mengajar bahasa Inggris untuk anak usia dini. Pendekatan berbasis art & craft dinilai relevan sebagai alternatif pembelajaran kosakata yang efektif dan berkelanjutan di sekolah dasar.

Abstract

The study investigates the challenges faced by EFL interpreting students of Universitas Negeri Gorontalo (UNG) in translating Indonesian to English, focusing on the impact of syntactic structures, grammatical accuracy, and lexical choices on interpretation clarity. Using Gile’s (2020) syntactic analysis model, the research analyzes students’ translations to identify common errors, including tense shifts, inconsistent pronoun usage, and unidiomatic phrasing. The findings reveal that these issues often result from differences between Indonesian and English sentence structure, and limited understanding of English idiomatic expressions. For example, errors such as translating gender-neutral pronouns inaccurately or misinterpreting tense and modal constructions distort the source message’s meaning. The study underscores the need for targeted training in syntactic analysis, idiomatic adaptation, and cross-linguistic processing to improve EFL students’ ability to produce accurate and fluent interpretations. This research contributes to the understanding of linguistic and cognitive challenges in EFL interpreting.

Abstract

Dyslexia is a common yet complex learning disorder that interferes with an individual’s ability to read and write fluently, despite adequate intelligence and access to education. This study employs a qualitative literature review to examine dyslexia through a psycholinguistic lens, focusing on how deficits in phonological processing, lexical access, and working memory contribute to the core challenges in reading and writing. Common manifestations—including substitution, omission, and inversion errors in reading, as well as spelling difficulties, morphological simplification, and disorganized sentence structure in writing—are discussed in relation to underlying cognitive mechanisms. The review also explores the multifactorial causes of dyslexia, emphasizing the roles of genetic, neurobiological, cognitive, and environmental factors. In addressing intervention strategies, the study highlights structured literacy approaches, the use of assistive technologies, and the importance of teacher training and policy support. By synthesizing current research, this review underscores the need for early identification and individualized educational responses. Ultimately, it contributes to a more holistic understanding of dyslexia and supports the development of inclusive practices that respond to the diverse needs of dyslexic learners.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the implementation of inclusive education at the elementary school level from a teacher’s perspective, especially English language instruction. The analysis focus on four key indicators: the availability of instructional materials, the preparedness of human resources, institutional support, and parental involvement. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed, using semi-structured interviews with a second-grade English language teacher at SD Laboratorium, Universitas Negeri Gorontalo, an inclusive elementary school located in Gorontalo, Indonesia. Findings reveal that while learning materials for students with special educational needs are available, they still require further adaptation and creativity on the part of the teacher. Regarding human resources, the teacher has received basic training in inclusive education but continues to face challenges, including the limited availability of special education support staff. Institutional support is evident through training programs and inclusive policies, although budget constraints remain a significant obstacle. Parental involvement is very active, contributing positively to the continuity of learning at home. This study emphasizes the importance of collaborative efforts among teachers, schools, government, and parents in constructing an effective inclusive education environment, particularly in the context of English language learning for students with special needs.

Abstract

This study examines the use of lexical reiteration in the academic writing of EFL (English as a Foreign Language) students at Gorontalo State University. Lexical reiteration, encompassing repetition, synonyms and near-synonyms, superordinates, and general words, is crucial for maintaining cohesion and coherence in texts. Using Halliday and Hasan’s (1976) cohesion theory, this research analyzes various academic texts produced by fifth-semester students. The findings reveal that repetition is the most frequently used type of reiteration, followed by synonyms and near-synonyms, general words, and superordinates. However, a major issue identified is the excessive reliance on repetition, resulting in monotonous writing. This problem stems from a limited academic vocabulary and inadequate knowledge of cohesive devices. As a result, students struggle to create well-structured and engaging academic texts. This study highlights the need for expanding vocabulary and improving students’ understanding of lexical cohesion to enhance their writing quality. By addressing these challenges, educators can help students develop more varied and effective academic writing skills. These findings contribute to discussions on improving EFL students’ writing proficiency, particularly in terms of lexical cohesion and coherence.

Abstract

This study explores the effectiveness of the Semantic Mapping strategy in enhancing vocabulary mastery among seventh-grade EFL students at SMP Negeri 1 Tapa. The research employed a quasi-experimental design with a pre-test and post-test to assess students’ vocabulary improvement. The participants were selected through purposive sampling from class 7-3, identified as having lower vocabulary proficiency. The intervention involved the implementation of Semantic Mapping in vocabulary lessons over a set period. The results showed a substantial improvement in students’ vocabulary scores, with the pre-test average at 46.36 and the post-test average increasing to 70.68. Statistical analysis using a paired sample t-test revealed a p-value of 0.000, indicating a statistically significant difference between pre-test and post-test scores. This confirms the rejection of the null hypothesis (H₀) and the acceptance of the alternative hypothesis (H₁), which states that the Semantic Mapping strategy positively affects vocabulary acquisition. The findings suggest that this strategy aids learners in organizing and retaining vocabulary more effectively. Therefore, it is recommended that English teachers incorporate Semantic Mapping into their instructional practices to enhance vocabulary development and support overall language learning success.

Abstract

Language plays a crucial role in digital communication, and platforms like Instagram serve as key spaces for self-expression. This study investigates graphological deviations in Instagram captions, focusing on typography, spelling and grammar, and punctuation to understand their impact on written communication in social media. This research adopted a qualitative descriptive approach, analyzing captions from English Language Education Department students' Instagram accounts to identify and categorize graphological deviations. Data collection involved selecting captions with deviations in spelling, punctuation, and typography, followed by analysis using theories from Verdonk (2002) and Simpson (2004). The findings reveal that graphological deviations are intentionally employed to enhance aesthetics, convey emotions, and establish a relaxed, informal tone. Three main categories emerged: (1) Spelling and Grammar, which featured informal abbreviations and creative word formations and accounted for 10 instances; (2) Punctuation, where unconventional uses of quotation marks, ellipses, and dashes added emphasis and emotional depth, with 7 instances identified and (3) Typography, where unique fonts, emojis, and text layouts enhanced visual appeal, with 4 instances recorded. While such deviations may reduce clarity and professionalism, they significantly shape message reception in social media contexts. The study concludes that graphological deviations are a stylistic choice prioritizing aesthetics and emotional engagement over linguistic norms. Future research can explore their visual and emotional impact, typographic effectiveness, and multilingual adaptations in digital media.

Abstract

This research aims to analyze the types of learning styles used by Grade VII students of SMP Negeri 1 Tapa in learning English and to determine which learning style is most dominantly used. The study applies the VAK (Visual, Auditory, Kinesthetic) learning style model as the theoretical framework. A quantitative descriptive method. The instrument used in this research was a structured questionnaire consisting of 30 statements, with each 10 items representing one learning style category. The results showed that all three learning styles were present among the students. The visual learning style was identified as the most dominant, followed by auditory and kinesthetic. Students with visual preference tended to understand English better when exposed to images, texts, and visual aids. These findings suggest that English teaching should consider students' learning preferences to support more effective and differentiated instruction. This research highlights the importance of understanding student learning styles to improve engagement and learning outcomes.
