Abstract

Indonesian comedy films display humour not only as entertainment, but also as a potential for cultural identity that is difficult to capture in English subtitles, which must favour readability over cultural principles. While many studies have been conducted on humour translation in both Western and Asian contexts, Indonesian audio-visual translations are among the under-researched topics of this field of study that still require attention. This article aims to address this gap by analysing modes of humour, translation strategies and cultural references in two Indonesian comedy films entitled Kang Mak (a remake based on Pee Mak) and Modal Nekad that can be found on Netflix. The present study adopts a qualitative approach and adopts the framework of Long and Graesser (1988) humour taxonomy, Molina & Albir (2002, 2012) translation techniques and Davies strategies for cultural references (2003). It all resulted from the plethora of funny lines in Indonesian subtitles and English translations, which were later cross-checked with a focus group comprising linguists and translation experts. The findings show that the major types in both films are nonsense and offensive humour, while modulation, literal translation and adaptation are the main strategies used. This meant they negotiated the references, cultural or otherwise, that intersected with their founding and globalness, which reflected a balance between local distinctiveness and global oversight. Humour subtitling is presented as a form of cultural mediation, with pedagogical and professional implications for audiovisual translation that highlight the need for culturally-sensitive approaches in the practice of subtitling.

Abstract

This study investigates the implementation of interactive learning through Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in English language education for junior high school students. Employing a mixed-methods approach, the research aims to explore how ICT is applied in English classrooms, the challenges faced by teachers and students, and its effectiveness in enhancing students’ understanding and motivation. Data were gathered through interviews with English teachers and questionnaires completed by students. The findings reveal that teachers use various digital platforms such as Quizizz, Padlet, YouTube, and Word wall to create engaging and interactive learning environments. These tools are effective in increasing students’ participation, improving comprehension, and supporting vocabulary acquisition. Students responded positively, indicating that ICT-based learning made lessons more enjoyable and easier to follow. However, several challenges were identified, including classroom management difficulties and the need for continuous teacher training in digital pedagogy. The study concludes that while ICT integration offers substantial benefits in motivating students and improving learning outcomes, its success relies on teachers’ digital competence and institutional support. The results highlight the need for strategic implementation, regular professional development, and appropriate infrastructure to ensure sustainable and effective use of ICT in English language education.

Abstract

Writing narrative texts poses significant challenges for many EFL students, including difficulties in organizing ideas, using appropriate vocabulary, and applying correct grammar. This study explores the effectiveness of short videos in improving students’ narrative text writing skills, focusing on creativity, vocabulary, and writing structure. A quasi-experimental design with a one-group pre-test and post-test was used. The participants were 36 eighth-grade students from a junior high school. Data were collected using writing tests and questionnaires administered before and after the intervention. During the treatment, students were taught narrative writing through short video media, designed to provide visual and auditory input to stimulate ideas and model narrative structures. The results demonstrated a significant improvement in students' narrative writing performance, with average scores increasing from 51.53 in the pre-test to 80 in the post-test. Statistical analysis using the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test and Paired Samples t-Test confirmed the effectiveness of the intervention. Questionnaire findings also indicated increased motivation, engagement, and understanding of narrative elements. These outcomes suggest that integrating short videos into EFL writing instruction can enhance students’ creativity, enrich their vocabulary, and strengthen their ability to construct coherent narratives. The findings advocate for more dynamic and multimodal teaching approaches to support students in developing effective writing skills.

Abstract

This study investigates the perception of morphological awareness and its relationship to reading comprehension among EFL university students using a mixed-methods approach. A total of 57 participants completed questionnaires and reading comprehension tests, followed by interviews with 5 selected respondents. The quantitative findings revealed that students generally held positive perceptions of morphological awareness, with mean scores ranging from 2.84 to 3.28, and demonstrated strong reading comprehension performance (M = 80.24, SD = 6.014). A Pearson correlation analysis showed a statistically significant but modest positive relationship between morphological awareness and reading comprehension (r = 0.293, p = 0.027), and the questionnaire used had acceptable internal consistency (Cronbach’s Alpha = 0.744). The qualitative results reinforced these findings by illustrating that students frequently used morphological strategies such as word decomposition and contextual guessing to make sense of unfamiliar words. Participants also expressed that these strategies enhanced their reading confidence and reduced reliance on dictionaries or translation tools. Furthermore, many students advocated for greater emphasis on morphological instruction in English reading classes, especially in academic settings. These results suggest that morphological awareness contributes meaningfully to EFL learners’ reading development and supports the integration of morphology-based strategies in language education curricula.

Abstract

According to the Indonesian new curriculum which is generally called Kurikulum Merdeka reading comprehension of text becomes a fundamental skill of learning outcomes.  However, a long time before the new curriculum was released reading skills, especially in learning a foreign language particularly English have always been the main thing. Starting from this condition, this study aimed to describe the students’ reading comprehension of English textual literacy among the Zillenial generation. Another goal, of this study, was to identify the students’ reasons related to their reading in textual comprehension. This study applied mixed methods both quantitative and qualitative. The design used descriptive statistics and interviews. the instrument used was a test and a list of interviews. the population in this study was 99 students of Public Vocational Schools in Samarinda whereby, overall, this population also became the sample.  The result was the students in the fair category. The majority of students got a score around 70 which was included as a fair category. This is in line with the school policy of considering minimum passing grades in English subjects. From qualitative data, it was found that the students were helped by the test which was considered as lower-order thinking (LOT). The test was in multiple choice and the topic was familiar. Surprisingly, based on the findings, this Zillenial generation has low literacy as they acknowledged that they don’t have any specific time for doing English literacy except only the teacher’s command. If the topic of the text is considered difficult usually, they will use translator apps to comprehend the text easily.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the experiences of students in balancing their academic responsibilities with their active involvement in a campus organization, specifically MAPALA UMKT (Mahasiswa Pecinta Alam Universitas Muhammadiyah Kalimantan Timur). As student organizations offer valuable opportunities for personal growth, leadership development, and social engagement, they may also present challenges in managing time and maintaining academic motivation. This research uses a qualitative approach with a case study method to understand how students experience, navigate, and reflect on these dual roles. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with selected MAPALA UMKT members from different cohorts, academic levels, and organizational roles. The results revealed that while organizational involvement can become a source of time pressure and academic stress, it also fosters essential skills such as time management, self-discipline, and problem-solving, which in turn contribute positively to academic motivation. Students' ability to maintain balance often depends on their level of self-regulation, social support, and commitment to both domains. This study highlights the complex yet meaningful relationship between organizational engagement and academic life, offering insights for universities, student organizations, and students themselves in building better support systems and fostering holistic student development.

Abstract

Reading is a foundational skill in secondary English language education, essential for academic achievement and preparing learners for global contexts. Explicit instruction in reading strategies is particularly beneficial for students with limited academic English exposure. This study examines the integration of the KWL (Know, Want to know, Learned) strategy with the digital platform Wordwall, an approach designed to improve reading comprehension for junior high school students. The KWL framework enhances comprehension, focus, and engagement by activating prior knowledge, setting clear reading purposes, and encouraging reflective learning. A mixed-methods research design was employed to evaluate this intervention. The combination of structured metacognitive guidance and interactive digital activities transformed classroom instruction. Results indicated significant improvements in reading comprehension and vocabulary acquisition. Furthermore, the approach increased student motivation and established a low-anxiety environment that encouraged participation and risk-taking. The experimental group achieved a substantially higher and more consistent mean learning gain (31.05%) compared to the control group (10.73%). Their results also exhibited greater statistical stability and a distribution closer to normality, indicating that the benefits were both reliable and equitable across participants. These findings confirm that strategically combining evidence-based reading strategies with digital tools fosters a more engaging, effective, and inclusive learning environment. This pedagogical integration ultimately leads to deepened comprehension and strengthened academic outcomes, highlighting its significant potential for contemporary English language education

Abstract

Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has become a fundamental element of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) training, especially via Mobile-Assisted Language Learning (MALL) applications that enhance listening comprehension. Although prior studies have extensively documented the efficacy of Duolingo for general language acquisition, empirical research that rigorously investigates its impact on listening comprehension in the context of Indonesian higher education is few. This study sought to examine the efficacy of Duolingo in improving EFL students' listening comprehension, emphasizing both educational outcomes and learner experiences. This research utilized a mixed-methods approach, incorporating surveys and semi-structured interviews with first-semester undergraduate English as a Foreign Language students. Quantitative data were subjected to descriptive analysis, while qualitative data underwent thematic analysis to facilitate data triangulation. The results demonstrated that Duolingo effectively facilitated students' listening comprehension via repeated audio exposure, incremental task advancement, vocabulary guidance, and gamified elements that increased motivation and engagement. Students additionally indicated enhancements in pronunciation awareness and general English proficiency. The study, however, revealed significant problems, notably with robotic and unnatural speech, irregular speaking tempo, and restricted exposure to genuine hearing input.This study provides empirical evidence indicating that Duolingo serves most effectively as an adjunct listening tool when combined with classroom instruction, rather than as a standalone learning medium. These findings offer pedagogical implications for the incorporation of MALL applications in EFL listening instruction within Indonesian higher education
