Abstract

This study compares gender representations in three different English textbooks from three publishers used by Indonesian Junior High School students (the Indonesian government, an Indonesian private publisher, and an International publisher). Under Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) and Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL), the study specifically investigated males’ and females’ representations and the typical activities associated with both genders. Overall, the results showed that males dominated all the textbooks, visually and textually. Besides that, the analysis revealed that females still have lower representations, less variation in occupations, and feminine specialization in doing the household chores in two textbooks. However, positive representations and stereotypes also appear in the textbooks, such as neutral generic constructions and typical activities by both genders.

Abstract

This research explores the experience of ten fifth-semester EFL pre-service teachers from Universitas Mulawarman who employed Plotagon to create digital storytelling projects in a Digital Literacy course. Adopting a qualitative research design, data were collected from participants' written reflections and examined thematically. The findings emphasize five broad themes: integration of local culture, in this case folklore from East Kalimantan, into EFL courseware; technological challenges and creative coping with additional tools; creativity and collaboration through cooperative production; attitudes towards usefulness and usability that impacted technology appropriation; and redefinition of learner and teacher roles as learners took on teller and media producer roles. These findings tell us that in spite of extensive use of culture as objects, greater digital literacy levels, and greater practice on the part of learners, the subjects were affected by the presence of limited functionality of Plotagon, faulty hardware, and inconsistent group participation, thereby requiring the necessity of having institutional backing as well as training. This study contributes to fresh understanding regarding the enabling of technology flexibility, cultural awareness, and learning autonomy through the use of digital storytelling tools like Plotagon in pre-service teacher education and illustrates not only their ability to produce language and digital literacy but also their ability to improve the competence of pre-service teachers in teaching innovative, forward thinking, and culture-sensitive.

Abstract

Background: This conceptual review proposes Literary Flourishing in TESOL as an interdisciplinary framework for humanizing literature-based English language education. This article addresses the continued prevalence of instrumental TESOL paradigms, where literature is frequently relegated to supplementary reading, cultural content, or a means of vocabulary and comprehension practice. The article develops a conceptual model that positions literary engagement as a catalyst for human flourishing and linguistic development, drawing on a range of disciplines including positive psychology, wellbeing education, and narrative theory. Methodology: The proposed PERMA-LIGHT model expands on the PERMA dimensions of wellbeing, which include positive emotion, engagement, relationships, meaning, and accomplishment, by incorporating literary, humanistic, and transformative dimensions such as literary empathy, identity formation, global and intercultural understanding, humanistic growth, and transformative reflection. The article also outlines WOLBEP, or Wellbeing-Oriented Literature-Based EFL Pedagogy, as a pedagogical framework comprising emotional engagement, narrative immersion, reflective meaning-making, dialogic interaction, transformative response, and flourishing reflection. Findings: The review asserts that literature-based TESOL can foster linguistic competence, emotional wellbeing, empathy, identity formation, resilience, intercultural understanding, and reflective agency. The article provides a model for curriculum design, literature-based pedagogy, teacher education, and future research on language education that fosters flourishing. Conclusion: The review concludes that literature-based TESOL should be repositioned from a supplementary language resource to a wellbeing-oriented pedagogy that develops linguistic competence alongside empathy, identity formation, intercultural understanding, and reflective growth. Originality: The originality of this article lies in proposing Literary Flourishing in TESOL and operationalising it through the PERMA-LIGHT model and WOLBEP framework, which integrate wellbeing, literary pedagogy, and transformative learning into a unified conceptual approach.
