English as a lingua franca (EFL) and World Englishes (WEs) challenge traditional English language teaching paradigms that centred around native-speaker norms, often rooted in the ideology of native speakerism, a persuasive ideology in English language teaching, often leading to biases against No-native English Speaker Teachers (NNESTs). This study aims to understand pre-service English speaker teachers' overall attitudes toward NESTs and NNESTs and explore the factors influencing pre-service English teachers’ preferences. 15 pre-service English teachers in their fifth semester participated in this descriptive qualitative method, which was collected from the questionnaires and interviews. The results show positive attitudes towards NESTs and NNESTs, with a slightly negative attitude towards NNESTs in teaching pronunciation due to native speakerism. In terms of pedagogy, NESTs are engaging and varied in approach, while NNESTs are monotonous but provide bilingual support. Culturally, NESTs provide first-hand exposure, but NNESTs highlight global English diversity. Linguistically, students prefer NESTs for genuine pronunciation of authentic language elements such as slang. These findings reveal there is a tendency for native-speakerism with evidence from participants’ responses. Further studies can expand this research by looking into ways to reduce biases and improve teamwork between NESTs and NNESTs.

Political debates are critical sites of meaning-making in democratic elections, where candidates communicate policies, values, and leadership personas through multiple semiotic modes. This study systematically reviews research on multimodal discourse analysis (MDA) of Indonesian presidential debates published between 2020 and 2025, aiming to synthesize theoretical frameworks, analytical practices, and thematic patterns in political communication. Using a structured systematic literature review, peer-reviewed journal articles, conference proceedings, and book chapters were collected from Scopus, Web of Science, Google Scholar, and DOAJ. Studies were screened based on their relevance to Indonesian presidential debates, use of multimodal frameworks, and empirical rigor. The review revealed that social semiotics is the predominant theoretical framework, with verbal language, gesture, and facial expressions being the most analyzed semiotic modes. Dominant themes of political meaning-making include leadership construction, national identity and populist appeals, and interactional power negotiation, often mediated by televised and digital platforms. While multimodality enhances understanding of how meaning is co-constructed, methodological inconsistencies—including small datasets and variable transcription practices—limit comparability across studies. This review highlights the growing importance of multimodal approaches for analyzing political debates in Indonesia and identifies gaps for future research. Specifically, more balanced attention to underexplored semiotic modes, standardized transcription methods, and theoretical integration are needed to advance the field. The study contributes to political discourse research by providing a comprehensive synthesis of recent multimodal analyses, offering insights into the complex ways in which Indonesian presidential candidates communicate meaning to diverse audiences.

This study explores deictic expressions in the Sigale-Gale story, a traditional Batak Toba folklore, using a pragmatic approach. Deictic expressions are context-dependent linguistic elements that indicate participants, time, place, discourse, or social relationships, and they play a crucial role in constructing meaning in narrative texts. The study aims to identify and analyze the types of deixis used in the story and to explain their functions in relation to context and culture. A qualitative descriptive method was employed, with the story serving as the primary data source. Data were collected through the documentation method and analyzed using classification based on five deixis categories: person, place, time, discourse, and social deixis. The findings reveal that person deixis is the most frequently used type, particularly third-person pronouns, reflecting the narrative focus on characters and events. Place and time deixis are also significant, helping to establish spatial and temporal frameworks that guide readers’ understanding of the story. Discourse and social deixis, though less frequent, contribute to textual coherence and convey cultural norms, such as social hierarchy and kinship relations. Overall, the analysis demonstrates that deictic expressions in the Sigale-Gale story function not only as linguistic devices but also as tools for cultural representation and narrative cohesion. This study highlights the importance of pragmatic analysis in traditional folklore, offering insights into how context and culture interact in storytelling. The results may serve as a reference for further research on deixis in other local narratives.

This study aims to evaluate the readiness of pre-service teachers at the Faculty of Tarbiyah and Teacher Training, State Islamic University of North Sumatra, for inclusive education. A mixed-methods approach utilizing an explanatory sequential design was employed to gain a thorough understanding of prospective teachers' knowledge, attitudes, self-efficacy, and concerns about inclusive education. The quantitative poll included 298 students across 10 academic disciplines, of whom 44 were voluntarily selected for the Focus Group Discussion (FGD) session. Quantitative data were collected using an expert-validated questionnaire and analyzed descriptively with SPSS 25.0, while qualitative data were evaluated thematically. The findings revealed that the prospective teachers had favorable attitudes and self-efficacy toward inclusive education; however, they needed to enhance their conceptual knowledge and receive institutional support to be adequately prepared for inclusive learning activities.

The This study aims to reconceptualize the validity of cross-paradigm research through a critical examination of the evolution of the meaning and function of reliability, credibility, and trustworthiness in the methodological literature. This study departs from the problem of conceptual fragmentation and epistemological tension that arise due to the application of validity criteria ahistorically and procedurally in various research paradigms. The method used is a non-systematic literature review of conceptually relevant Scopus indexed journal articles, with a thematic-conceptual analysis approach and cross-paradigm critical synthesis. The results of the study show that validity has shifted from technical-instrumental attributes to epistemic justification processes that are contextual, reflective, and paradigmatic. Reliability no longer serves as a universal prerequisite for validity, but rather as a technical mechanism whose relevance depends on certain epistemological assumptions. Credibility develops as an interpretive justification mechanism in qualitative research, while trustworthiness serves as a reflective evaluative framework that emphasizes transparency and accountability. This study also found epistemological tensions, conceptual inconsistencies, and theoretical limitations in the use of these three concepts across paradigms. In conclusion, the validity of research needs to be understood as a dynamic practice of epistemic justification and not reduced to a methodological checklist. This research contributes to the development of research methodology by offering a conceptual synthesis that goes beyond the classical dichotomy of validity–reliability and trustworthiness–credibility.

Vocabulary building is a central challenge in English as a Foreign Language classrooms, especially for students with intellectual disabilities who often experience cognitive and emotional barriers in learning new words. Visual instructional media such as flashcards are frequently used to support vocabulary learning, yet their effectiveness depends on how teachers perceive and apply them in inclusive classrooms. This study aims to explore an EFL teacher’s perception of the usefulness of flashcards in supporting vocabulary building for students with intellectual disabilities. The study employed a qualitative descriptive case study design involving one EFL teacher in an inclusive junior high school in Indonesia. Data were collected through classroom observations, semi structured interviews, and lesson plan analysis, and analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings reveal that flashcards are perceived as useful for reducing cognitive load, fostering psychological safety, and enabling adaptive instructional tempo without lowering learning expectations. In conclusion, the study suggests that the usefulness of flashcards lies in teachers’ pedagogical reasoning and adaptive use rather than in the media itself, highlighting the importance of teacher cognition in inclusive EFL instruction.

Teaching of narrative writing requires instructional approaches that promote creativity and higher-order thinking. The treffinger learning model, which consists of Basic Tools, Practice with Process, and Working with Real Problems, offers a structured framework for developing students’ creative thinking in writing. This study investigated the effect of the Treffinger Learning Model on students’ narrative writing skills. A quasi-experimental design was employed involving two eighth-grade classes (N = 52) from a junior high school, assigned as an experimental group and a control group. Data were collected through pretest and posttest writing assessments in the form of essay tasks. The results showed that students’ initial writing ability was relatively low, with mean pretest scores of 34.42 (experimental) and 29.12 (control). Following the intervention, the experimental group demonstrated a substantially higher improvement, achieving a mean posttest score of 84.27, compared to 71.04 in the control group. The findings indicate that the Treffinger Learning Model contributes positively to the development of students’ narrative writing skills. This study highlights the pedagogical value of creativity-based learning models in English language classrooms.

This study aims to determine whether the cooperative integrated reading and composition (CIRC) method has improved the reading comprehension of second-semester students at Politeknik Ganesha Medan. The researcher found that a lot of students at Politeknik Ganesha Medan had trouble reading the texts after talking to the English teacher and watching them. They can't figure out what the messages mean or what they mean. The researcher did this because she wanted to help the students with their reading comprehension problems. The researcher utilized the cooperative integrated reading and composition (CIRC) method to improve students' reading comprehension in response to the identified issue. The researcher utilized a pre-experimental design featuring a non-equivalent control group (Gay, 2006, p. 225). The group underwent a pre-test, treatment, and post-test. The research sample consisted of fifteen students. The researcher used only one type of tool, a reading test, to get information. A score will be given to each student's answer, and a formula will be used to find the average score. The scores on the posttest are higher than the scores on the pretest. Researchers could conclude that students' reading comprehension has been enhanced by utilizing the CIRC Method. One thing that helps students understand what they read better is the CIRC Method, which involves working together in groups to comprehend the material and answer questions about the stories. Some benefits of cooperative learning include positive interdependence, face-to-face interaction, individual accountability, and development of interpersonal and small group skills.

Inclusive education aims to provide equitable learning opportunities for all students, yet many Indonesian schools still face challenges in implementing inclusive English instruction. This study explores the implementation of Universal Design for Learning (UDL) in teaching English vocabulary in teaching English vocabulary in an inclusive elementary classroom at an elementary school in Medan, Indonesia. Guided by two research questions, employing a descriptive qualitative research design, the study involved one English teacher with three years of experience teaching in an inclusive classroom. The participant was selected through purposive sampling based on her experience in teaching students with diverse learning needs. Data were collected through classroom observations conducted across four meetings, semi-structured teacher interviews, and documentation of lesson plans and learning media. The data were analyzed thematically using Braun and Clarke’s (2006) framework to identify patterns related to the teacher’s instructional strategies and perceptions of UDL implementation. The findings indicate that the teacher implemented the three principles of UDL: multiple means of representation, engagement, and expression. The teacher combined visual, auditory, and contextual representations to support vocabulary understanding, used flexible and emotionally supportive activities to enhance student engagement, and provided varied forms of assessment to allow students to demonstrate their understanding. These strategies supported vocabulary comprehension and increased participation among students with diverse learning needs. The study highlights the practical potential of UDL as an instructional framework for improving vocabulary learning and fostering inclusive practices in inclusive elementary classroom.

This study uses Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) to examine women's language politeness in Facebook status updates. Fewer studies have looked at how politeness functions as a gendered discursive practice in digital communication, despite the fact that it has historically been studied as a pragmatic strategy for reducing face-threatening acts. Drawing on Brown and Levinson’s politeness theory and Fairclough’s three-dimensional model of CDA, this qualitative study analyzes 50 Facebook status updates posted by female users. The findings reveal that women predominantly employ positive politeness, negative politeness, and off-record strategies to maintain social harmony, manage face, and negotiate public self-presentation. At the discursive level, politeness functions as a normative expectation shaping women’s online identities, while at the socio cultural level, it operates as an ideological resource that reproduces gendered norms of emotional labor, relational responsibility, and self-regulation. This study contributes to pragmatics and critical discourse studies by reconceptualizing politeness not merely as an interpersonal strategy but as a socially embedded and ideologically loaded practice in digital discourse. Keywords: politeness, women’s language, Facebook status updates, gender, critical discourse analysis, digital discourse
