Abstract

This article explores the representation of irony in WhatsApp Group chats, aiming to identify the types of irony and narrate the meaning of the irony used. A case study was geared under Perrine's (1966) and Leech's (1981) analysis of the type of irony. Moreover, the result disclosed that touches of sarcasm were the favorable choice of irony to express the participants’ feelings. Sarcasm was detected by using uppercase characters, exclamation marks, and teasing words. Hyperbole and understatement were the second participants’ favorite to use to exaggerate reality and make a dramatic situation. Furthermore, implementing irony in daily conversation with decent knowledge is significant to flourish and enrich their linguistic adequacy to avoid misunderstanding and know the appropriate situation manual students' exploitations of irony will.

Abstract

This study explores EFL students’ perceptions of artificial intelligence (AI) integration in language learning, utilizing Kahneman’s Dual Process Theory (2011) to examine intuitive (System 1) and reflective (System 2) cognitive responses. The study aims to understand how junior EFL learners engage with AI tools, and to explore the perceived benefits and challenges of AI-assisted learning. A qualitative research approach was employed, involving 14 students from a Junior-Teenager Conversation class in Medan, selected through convenience sampling. Data were collected using a two-part questionnaire: the first part consisted of multiple-choice items to assess instinctive, emotional reactions, while the second part included open-ended questions to elicit analytical and evaluative responses. Data were gathered during regular classroom sessions and analyzed thematically using Braun and Clarke’s (2006) five-phase framework. The findings revealed that 71.4% of students found AI tools “interesting,” while 7.1% felt “optimistic” and 21.4% “amazed.” Key benefits included AI’s user-friendly interface (42.9%) and well-explained responses (35.7%), while concerns included reduced learning effort (57.1%) and potential academic dishonesty (35.7%). The study highlights the dual impact of AI enhancing personalization and engagement, while presenting ethical and pedagogical challenges. It recommends balanced integration of AI in EFL learning and further research into its long-term effects.

Abstract

While language, identity, and acculturation have been widely examined, limited research has explored how Filipino migrant teachers in Southeast Asia, particularly in Medan, Indonesia, construct their identities through everyday language experiences. This study investigates how Filipino migrant teachers negotiate identity through language acculturation. Grounded in Identity Theory and informed by perspectives on language identity and acculturation, the study employed a qualitative Narrative Inquiry design involving five Filipino migrant teachers. Data were collected through narrative interviews and photovoice, then analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings reveal that identity is dynamic and continuously reshaped through language acculturation. Initially, participants experienced diminished confidence due to limited proficiency in Bahasa Indonesia, affecting their professional self-perception. As they gradually acquired and used the language in daily interactions, they regained confidence and reconstructed their identities. Ultimately, language functioned as a bridge that fostered belonging while integrating their Filipino identity with their lived experiences in Indonesia.
