Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan mendeskripsikan performansi tradisi lisan Sikambang serta mengungkap kearifan lokal di dalamnya sebagai representasi budaya masyarakat pesisir Sibolga–Tapanuli Tengah. Penelitian dilakukan di wilayah pesisir Kota Sibolga dan Kabupaten Tapanuli Tengah yang masih mempertahankan tradisi Sikambang dalam kegiatan adat, khususnya pada prosesi perkawinan. Metode yang digunakan adalah kualitatif deskriptif dengan model etnografi dan pendekatan antropolinguistik. Data diperoleh melalui observasi pertunjukan Sikambang, wawancara dengan pelaku budaya dan musisi tradisional, serta dokumentasi syair dan unsur pendukung pertunjukan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa performansi Sikambang terdiri atas tiga bagian, yaitu pembuka, inti, dan penutup, melalui rangkaian lagu Kapri, Kapulo Pinang, Lagu Duo, Dampeng, dan Lagu Sikambang. Setiap lagu memiliki fungsi kultural yang menggambarkan tahapan kehidupan manusia, mulai dari perkenalan muda-mudi, kehidupan rumah tangga, hubungan antarkeluarga yang berbesan hingga penyampaian nasihat moral dan pesan tentang pentingnya anak sebagai penerus nilai dan budi. Secara linguistik, teks Sikambang memperlihatkan paralelisme, repetisi, diksi khas pesisir, metafora alam, serta pola ritmis yang memudahkan pelantunan. Selain unsur teks, performansi Sikambang juga melibatkan unsur koteks seperti intonasi nyanyian, gerak tubuh penari, penggunaan selendang, payung, dan sapu tangan, serta iringan alat musik tradisional seperti gendang Sikambang, singkadu, biola, dan akordion. Konteks budaya menunjukkan bahwa Sikambang menjadi media ekspresi nilai sosial, religi, dan estetika masyarakat pesisir. Kearifan lokal di dalamnya meliputi nilai moral, kekeluargaan, religiusitas, tanggung jawab, kesantunan, serta penghormatan kepada orang tua. Sikambang juga menjadi sarana pewarisan nilai budaya masyarakat pesisir Sibolga–Tapanuli Tengah.

Abstract

This research is entitled Cultural Value Orientation in the Movie “The Architecture of Love.” This research aims to represent cultural values in the film based on Kluckhohn's view that cultural value orientation is divided into five categories: human nature, man nature, time, activity, and relational. This research used a descriptive qualitative approach. Data collection techniques were carried out through observation, documentation, and literature studies. Data analysis was performed by observing the film from beginning to end, focusing on the cultural values of Kluckhohn's thoughts, namely, scenes and dialogues in the film The Architecture of Love that represent cultural values. Based on data analysis, five data were found including human nature, five data were man nature orientation, four data were time orientation, four data were activity orientation, and four data were relational orientation.

Abstract

This study examines the construction of women's education and empowerment in the novel No Better Time through the analysis of feminist critical discourse with Fairclough’s three-dimensional model. The aim of the study was to analyze how educational discourse is constructed as a site of resistance and agency for African American women in the face of gender- and race-based intersectional oppression. The research method uses an interpretive qualitative approach, with data in the form of discursive episodes that represent access to knowledge, formal and informal learning, and agency actions. The analysis was carried out at three levels: textual (lexical choices, modalities, representational strategies), discursive (production, distribution, consumption of discourse), and sociocultural (patriarchal context, racism, militarism). The results showed five main thematic categories: epistemic discrimination (18 emergences), resistance through literacy (24), collective solidarity (21), institutional exclusion (15), and agency and leadership (27). The identified typologies of feminist discourse include liberal, socialist, and radical currents, which are integrated into the narrative. From a psychological perspective, the findings reveal the psychological impact of persistent marginalization on the formation of women's identities, as well as the role of collective solidarity as a psychological resource that restores and empowers. This study concludes that education in the novel is not limited to formal instruction, but rather includes experiential and communal learning that enables women to develop critical awareness, build psychological resilience, and collectively challenge patriarchal and racial structures toward structural transformation and epistemic justice. Keywords: african american literature, empowerment, feminist critical discourse analysis, intersectionality, psychology, resistance, women's education

Abstract

The proliferation of the English language has resulted in the blending of the English language and culture into the national and indigenous languages of emerging countries, including Indonesia. Although most people in North Aceh, Indonesia, are Acehnese, some restaurants and coffee shops are named in English. This study explores how English acculturation in the naming of food and coffee shops affects the visibility and preservation of local languages in this area. Using Berrys acculturation framework, the research categorizes naming practices into assimilation, integration, and isolation, analyzing how English, Indonesian, and Acehnese elements are blended or separated in commercial branding. Data were gathered through interviews with business owners and customers, as well as observations of shop names and menus. The findings reveal that assimilation is the most dominant strategy, reflecting a preference for English-language branding as a symbol of modernity and prestige, particularly among younger entrepreneurs. However, some businesses still adopt integrated or local naming conventions to retain cultural identity. These practices have sociolinguistic implications, as the increased dominance of English may marginalize the Acehnese language in public spaces. The study calls for culturally responsive language planning to ensure a balance between global appeal and local heritage in commercial language use.

Abstract

This study examines the role of Indonesian–English code-switching in the process of second-language acquisition by synthesizing findings from previous research using a qualitative library method. The analysis shows that code-switching is a prominent linguistic practice in Indonesian educational and social contexts, serving multiple pedagogical, cognitive, and pragmatic functions. The findings reveal that code-switching operates as a cognitive scaffold, helping learners comprehend difficult English input by linking new information to familiar linguistic structures. It also reduces anxiety and increases classroom interaction, enabling students to participate more confidently during English lessons. In addition, frequent exposure to bilingual communication facilitates incidental vocabulary learning and contributes to the development of pragmatic competence, particularly through digital and peer interactions. However, the study also identifies potential drawbacks of excessive switching, including reduced English immersion and the emergence of hybrid morphological forms that may hinder grammatical accuracy. These findings highlight the complex and dual nature of code-switching: it is beneficial when used strategically but may become a barrier when overused. Overall, the study concludes that effective English language pedagogy in Indonesia requires a balanced approach that recognizes the supportive role of L1 while ensuring adequate exposure to English for long-term acquisition.

Abstract

Purpose of the Study: 1. To assess how the ZIELTS application affects candidates' performance in the IELTS listening section; 2. To identify key features of the ZIELTS application that enhance listening skills; 3. To evaluate candidates' perceptions of the ZIELTS application's effectiveness.Methodology: A mixed-methods design was adopted combining quantitative performance measurement and qualitative feedback analysis. Ten participants were randomly selected and assessed using pre- and post-tests to evaluate listening competence. Participants practiced listening using the ZIELTS application for two weeks and recorded the frequency of use and topic preferences in logbooks. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and a paired-samples t-test in SPSS, while qualitative data from logbooks and Focus Group Discussions (FGD) were examined through thematic analysis.Main Findings: The outcome revealed a modest but not statistically significant improvement in listening skills: the mean band score increased from 6.75 to 6.90, t(9) = 0.896, p = 0.394. While there was some variation in the progress of individual participants, users were satisfied with the user-friendly design of the application, the wide range of topics, and additional features like vocabulary lists and audio transcripts. Minor technical issues (e.g., inconsistencies between audio and text) were identified as opportunities for future enhancements.Novelty/Originality of This Study: This study is one of the earliest empirical explorations of ZIELTS, a purpose-built, exam-aligned AI application launched in March 2024, as a means of improving IELTS listening performance. Using a mixed-methods approach that integrates quantitative pre- and post-test assessments with qualitative learner feedback, it contributes original, context-specific evidence to the relatively under-researched intersection of AI-assisted language learning and IELTS listening preparation.

Abstract

This study investigates the challenges of English language acquisition among Indonesian travel agents in their professional communication with international clients. Despite the growing demand for English competence in tourism, little research has examined how linguistic, affective, and contextual factors influence workplace communication in this sector. Addressing this gap, the study aims to identify specific language barriers, coping strategies, and training needs within the framework of Second Language Acquisition (SLA) and English for Specific Purposes (ESP). A qualitative exploratory design was employed involving ten travel agents from registered agencies in Medan, North Sumatra. Data were collected through open-ended written questionnaires and were analyzed thematically following Braun and Clarke’s procedure. The analysis yielded four main themes: limited vocabulary and pronunciation, grammatical and listening comprehension difficulties, affective barriers such as anxiety and low confidence, and coping strategies alongside the need for ESP-based training. The findings reveal that English proficiency among travel agents is shaped by limited authentic exposure, insufficient output opportunities, and emotional factors that restrict communication confidence. The study highlights the necessity of contextualized ESP instruction integrating workplace simulations, pronunciation training, and confidence-building activities. These results contribute to SLA and ESP theory by emphasizing the interdependence of linguistic, affective, and contextual dimensions in professional language learning, while providing practical implications for tourism educators and industry stakeholders in designing effective English training programs.

Abstract

This study examines the intersection of gender ideology and power relations in The Handmaid’s Tale, a novel by Margaret Atwood that portrays a dystopian society governed by patriarchal control. Employing Feminist Critical Discourse Analysis (FCDA) as the methodological framework, this research investigates how gender ideology is embedded and reproduced through the novel’s language and social structures. Specifically, the study addresses three research questions: (1) What elements of gender ideology are depicted in the novel? (2) How are gender ideology and power interrelated? (3) Why are these themes central to the narrative? Utilizing a qualitative approach, the analysis focuses on narrative and discursive elements to uncover representations of gender inequality and the systematic repression of women’s autonomy. The findings indicate that the novel reflects real-world patriarchal ideologies by illustrating how language and institutional norms uphold gendered power imbalances. This research contributes to feminist literary scholarship by demonstrating how literature can expose, critique, and resist oppressive social structures through discourse.

Abstract

The research was conducted to demonstrate Indonesian language pride on the Kimbab Family YouTube channel. The purpose of this study is to examine how an Indonesian-Korean multicultural family uses Indonesian in regular discourse on YouTube. To promote Indonesia as the nation's identity overseas, advanced technologies must be utilized. YouTube is one of these numerous virtual platforms that attract users from all around the world. This situation encourages Indonesian to compete with other languages; therefore, efforts to promote and preserve Indonesian must be supported. The data for this descriptive qualitative study was collected through documentation and listening. The data were YouTube comments from the Kimbab Family channel. According to the results of this study, the Kimbab family is proud of their Indonesian language skills. The Indonesian employed on the YouTube channel of Kimbab Family may be categorized into eight categories: questioning, replying, explaining/informing, inviting, demanding, quizzing, promoting, and joking.

Abstract

Using Van Dijk's socio-cognitive approach, this study examines ten feminist-themed memes from Pinterest, emphasizing the discursive, cognitive, and social elements. Three main themes emerge from the analysis of the memes: criticism of gender expectations, assertion of women's strength, and resistance to male control. The results show that women reject male control and dominance in memes under the first group (1.1; 1.3; 1.9), emphasizing female independence and resilience. The second category's memes (1.2, 1.4, 1.5, and 1.6) highlight women's strength and independence, demonstrating their capacity to subvert conventional wisdom and reinterpret social norms. The third category (1.7; 1.8; 1.10), on the other hand, criticizes what society expects of women and shows them as defying patriarchal stereotypes. This change demonstrates how digital discourse has developed into a platform that questions established hierarchies of power and encourages social criticism. These memes are vital resources for advancing feminist principles, empowering women, and raising awareness of gender equality because they use sarcasm and comedy. According to the study's findings, memes are more than just amusement; they are potent cultural artifacts that have the capacity to shape public opinion and promote constructive social change.
