Abstract

In dealing with the 21st century EFL pedagogy where interculturality and multiculturality are promoted to be the crucial aspects of EFL learning, this study is oriented towards investigating Indonesian EFL teachers’ conceptualization of culture in EFL classroom. The conceptualization in this sense is emphasized on their knowledge construction underlying their teaching principles. This study was conducted qualitatively by engaging three Indonesian EFL teachers selected purposively. The data of this study were garnered from open-ended questionnaires and interview. Regarding the teachers’ conceptualization, this study revealed that culture referred to the way of living becoming the framework of language use since language per se referred to a social semiotic, and the framework of learning going on inter and intra-individually. In EFL learning, culture was viewed from its interculturality. Interculturality was supported although two teachers stayed in native-speakerism specifically for linguistic competence. This study is meaningful since it serves a set of contributive knowledge vis-a-vis culture in EFL learning for EFL teachers and curriculum developers. However, this study is still delimited on cultural conception. Further studies are expected to work on the practice of cultural conception to deal with the 21st century EFL learning in Indonesia.

Abstract

This study aims to examine how translation techniques influence the rendering of ironic expressions in Mark Manson’s The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck. While research on irony translation is growing, there is a lack of empirical evidence linking specific techniques to quality outcomes in non-fiction literature, representing a significant gap in current translation studies. Using a qualitative approach, this research identifies patterns of irony classification (Muecke, 1982), translation techniques (Molina & Albir, 2002), and quality assessment (Nababan et al., 2012) through content analysis and Focus Group Discussions. Findings reveal that while situational and verbal irony dominate the text, the effectiveness of translation techniques varies significantly; established equivalents, modulation, and transposition emerge as the most reliable techniques for maintaining high accuracy, acceptability, and readability. Conversely, techniques involving semantic shifts—such as amplification, adaptation, reduction, and discursive creation—often compromise the contradictory nuances essential to irony. By providing a systematic evaluation of these techniques, this study offers critical pedagogical implications for translator training and EFL instruction, emphasizing the necessity of linguistic and cultural competence in rendering irony.

Abstract

Abstract This study examines politeness strategies in directive utterances formed as questions by Jimmy Fallon, host of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. Utilizing Leech’s (1983) Politeness Principle, the research identifies and describes how politeness strategies are employed in interactions between Fallon and his guests. A qualitative descriptive approach is adopted, with data sourced from transcripts of 10 selected videos of The Tonight Show, chosen based on criteria such as popularity, guest prominence, and topic relevance. The analysis focuses on Leech’s six politeness maxims: Tact, Generosity, Approbation, Modesty, Agreement, and Sympathy. Findings reveal that Fallon consistently employs politeness strategies, particularly the Tact and Approbation Maxims. The Tact Maxim is manifested through polite language structures, including modal auxiliaries, indirect requests, and hedging devices, aimed at reducing the interlocutor’s communicative burden. The Approbation Maxim is reflected in explicit and implicit praise, as well as genuine interest in guests’ stories, enhancing their image and fostering interpersonal rapport. Additionally, the Agreement and Sympathy Maxims are utilized to maximize alignment and demonstrate empathy. The study concludes that Fallon’s use of politeness strategies not only mitigates potential threats to the guests’ “face” but also cultivates a positive, engaging, and entertaining communication environment. These findings contribute to pragmatic research in popular media, particularly in understanding politeness dynamics in entertainment talk shows. The practical implication underscores the significance of politeness strategies in public communication to foster effective, respectful, and enjoyable interactions.

Abstract

Background: This study examines low-competency EFL students' first-time interpretation performance, concentrating on how they use their limited linguistic proficiency to interpret the messages. Student interpreters often face difficulties due to limited linguistic proficiency, which can result in misinterpretations in their first performance. However, there is currently a dearth of studies in this specific context.Methodology: Since how students use various techniques needs to be revealed in detail, their performances are recorded in the form of videos. Purposive sampling was used to select students who lacked fluency and interpreting experience. A corpus-assisted discourse analysis was applied to a dataset of 281 instances to identify recurring patterns in students' strategies. The analysis process was divided into two cycles to prevent data loss due to careless attention and insufficient reflection on human language patterns.Findings: Approximation was the most used strategy, occurring 46 times, followed by substitution at 38 instances, and compression appeared 30 times. Other strategies included reproduction (31 times), word-for-word translation (24 instances), and stalling (18 instances), with ten instances of omissions. The results further show that students keep having difficulty with vocabulary and general language transfer, which causes them to misinterpret messages. Nevertheless, students can achieve a balance between meaning loss and compression even with their insufficient language abilities in interpreting. A significant finding is the discovery of a new technique—cultural reference—that students employ to interpret utterances through cultural adaptation, which fundamentally alters how students interpret the language.Conclusion: This study concluded that students’ stronger cultural proficiency in one of their languages significantly affects their interpretation strategy. Students also frequently use wrong approximations to simplify complex information or manage time constraints while interpreting, leading to errors.Originality: The study's substantive findings clarify that inexperienced interpreters' strategies are influenced by cultural references, which contributes to fulfilling interpreting studies, particularly on first-time interpreting performance.

Abstract

Abstract Background: Political dynasties represent an enduring challenge to democratic consolidation in Indonesia. However, the role of media discourse in shaping public perceptions of dynastic power remains under-explored, particularly regarding how editorial narratives frame dynastic politics and subsequent protest movements. Drawing upon Fairclough’s Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) and Martin & White’s Appraisal Theory, this study conceptualizes editorials as discursive spaces where political legitimacy is systematically constructed and negotiated. Methodology: This study analyzes three editorials published in The Jakarta Post in 2024: “Breaking A Dynastic Habit” (July 5), “People Have Spoken” (August 26), and “Thank You for Speaking Up” (August 29). These texts address political dynasties and protests triggered by the controversial revision of minimum age requirements for regional head candidates. This media outlet was selected for its prominent national standing, its English-speaking readership, and its influential role in shaping elite public discourse. The analysis integrates Appraisal resources (Attitude, Engagement, and Graduation) with Fairclough’s three-dimensional CDA framework. Attitude is employed to identify evaluative stances toward political actors; Engagement to trace the management of dialogic voices; and Graduation to assess the intensity of political event representations. Findings: The results reveal a patterned evaluative asymmetry: political dynasties are represented through negative moral judgments and procedural critiques, whereas protest movements are framed as rational, ethically grounded civic responses. Intensification resources contribute to framing political dynamics as urgent or significant, while heteroglossic strategies allow for the inclusion of diverse voices while maintaining a specific evaluative position. These linguistic patterns indicate a systematic inclination to steer readers toward particular interpretations of political legitimacy. Conclusion: Editorial discourse does more than report events; it constructs interpretative frameworks that influence the conceptualization of legitimacy and dissensus within the context of contemporary democracy. Originality: This research extends the application of Appraisal Theory in ideological discourse analysis by demonstrating how evaluative language operates systematically to represent political actors and processes in a volatile democratic landscape.

Abstract

This study analyzes the language used by Kompas, focusing on the expression of attitude. The appraisal framework developed by Martin and White (2005) is used as an analytical linguistics tool to investigate aspects of attitude—affect, judgment, and appreciation—to identify the ideological position through a critical discourse analysis (CDA) of four online texts about the Free Nutrition Meals Program (FNMP). This qualitative research employs a content analysis method to interpret attitude resources utilized in constructing news texts. The results of the study reveal that Kompas demonstrates a relatively balanced representation of both positive and negative attitudes (53.8% positive, 46.2% negative). This equilibrium between positive and negative attitude data indicates significant and contentious issues faced by the government, political observers, and the general public regarding the FNMP. These findings illustrate how news reporting by media outlets can reflect ideological orientations and influence public perceptions regarding FNMP. Additionally, this study provides practical insights that can be utilized by media content creators and journalists to craft messages that are more effective and tailored to the intended audience. When presenting news that includes positive and negative assessments, it is crucial to maintain "impartial" and "balance" in news delivery, in accordance with journalistic ethics. In the context of EFL, this study also has significant implications for enhancing students' discourse competence.
