Abstract

Language is a tool or medium that humans use to communicate. The Sumbawa language has a figurative language that can be used for memories or can be used to express feelings to someone. It is called proverbs. Proverbs are groups of words or sentences that convey either about someone's condition, or about praise, satire, parables. This research is a classroom action research. In this study, the researchers used two techniques in data collection, namely documentation and observation. In analyzing the data, the researchers used three stages of data analysis, namely data reduction, data presentation and analysis, and drawing conclusions. Eleven Sumbawa language proverbs were selected as they contain the meanings of social phenomena. There were five participants in this study. From these five participants, this research can be said to be successful. Students succeeded in explaining social phenomena in English by using pictures as the media.

Abstract

This article reports on teacher trainees’ ability in doing a critical analysis of an extract of English teaching materials from a gender perspective. The critical ability was prompted using a textbook extract that generated two gender issues, namely woman-man relationship and the position of women in occupational discourse. The participants were 38 trainees enrolled in textbook analysis subject in the English Department of a college in regional Indonesia. The research data were the trainees’ results of the mid-term test, designed with explicit instruction to ascertain the afore-mentioned critical elements, and their results of the final exam with implied instruction to discern the same critical elements. The data were analysed qualitatively by interpreting the participants’ responses based on their degree of criticality. The mid-term test results show that more than half of them were critical about woman-man relationship, while only 18% were critical about women position at work. The trainees’ results in the final test demonstrate a significant downturn of their critical thinking performances. Only 15% criticized woman-man relationship and 13% problematized women position at work. These findings raise concerns about the trainees’ level of criticality and so systematic efforts to sharpen trainees’ critical analytical ability should be further attempted.

Abstract

The research reported on a literacy intervention program for 150 early grade learners from low socio-economic background by involving 50 volunteers in 50 different village spots in Sumbawa Regency of Indonesia. The research was emancipatory because it seeks to empower the community to address the local problems of literacy learning loss experienced by the needy early graders. The data were collected through literacy assessment, observation, interviews, and documentation. The findings showed that 90% of the early graders improved their literacy mostly with two and one level progress. Factors contributing to the success were good preparation of volunteers, engaging teaching approaches, relevant materials that suited student levels, and continuous assessment. The last key finding was that the volunteers strongly embodied teaching voluntarism as a soul with six features (affection towards others, action of giving, availability, positive inner feelings, heroism, and divinity). The recommendation from these findings is that multi-stakeholders, including the government, provide support to enhance the program sustainability. This research contributes a model of voluntary teaching for low socio-economic early graders that can be adapted in other locations in Indonesia and overseas.

Abstract

It is fascinating to conduct a study on the directive speech acts because it is so common in everyday life, especially in conversation. Sometimes communication fails simply because the hearer does not understand what the speaker is saying. As a result, the intended message could not be sent effectively and several differences were found in the use of speech acts. The focus of this research was to analyze the use of directive speech acts in the movie “The Blind Side” by Michael Lewis. The research aimed to (1) identify the types of directive speech acts used by the characters in the movie “The Blind Side” by Michael Lewis, and (2) determine the factors influencing the use of each type of directive speech act by the characters. This research was qualitative, employing descriptive techniques. The data sources included primary sources such as video and script, and secondary sources such as articles, journals, and relevant studies. The researchers utilized documentation, observation, and literature study techniques in data collection to draw conclusions after analysis. Searle’s and Hymes’ theory are used to analyze the data. From the observations and literature study, the results obtained were (1) five types of directive speech acts were found to be used by the characters in the movie, namely command, request, invitation, prohibition, and suggestion, and (2) there were factors influencing the use of each type of directive speech act by the characters, including gender, age, race/skin color, and social status/occupation, with race/skin color being the most dominant factor influencing them.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the socio-cultural and religious resilience index in Sumbawa Regency through social, cultural, and religious life indicators, as well as to determine the role of key stakeholders in facilitating the realization of this resilience. The design is a mixture of quantitative and qualitative research. Quantitative research includes data collection through a public perception questionnaire about the resilience indicators. Qualitative research includes the use of documentation, informal interviews and observations to explore the roles of key stakeholders in facilitating the realization of resilience in the regency. The study results show that the social, cultural, and religious resilience index in Sumbawa Regency recorded a score of 80.1 (high), indicating good and controlled conditions. The two dimensions with a very high category are religious tolerance (84.1) and equality in religion (83.1), while the others are in the high category, namely the social dimension (76.1), culture (78.5), and cooperation between religious communities (78.6). They indicate that all dimensions of resilience have room to improve to achieve optimal scores. The key stakeholders are vital in realizing socio-cultural and religious resilience in Sumbawa Regency. The collaboration and involvement of various group representatives in implementing activities contribute to realizing resilience in a pluralistic society in Sumbawa Regency.

Abstract

Structural ambiguity remains a persistent challenge in English comprehension, particularly when relative clauses (RCs) and prepositional phrases (PPs) admit multiple interpretations. While much research has examined native speakers or beginning L2 learners, little is known about how advanced learners apply formal syntactic knowledge to disambiguate such structures. This study addresses that gap by investigating how Indonesian EFL undergraduates resolve ambiguity using structural relation patterns—dominance, precedence, and c-command. A qualitative design was employed with 30 English Education majors who had completed a syntax course. Data were collected through tree-diagram tasks and a structured questionnaire, enabling structural and reflective insights. Findings revealed three main strategies: sorting by node, ignoring non-potential nodes, and using punctuation, with late closure as the most dominant approach. Structural analysis showed that while dominance and precedence guided parsing partially, c-command consistently supported accurate disambiguation when reinforced by semantic plausibility. Frequent reactivation also indicated that learners revised their interpretations when implausibility arose, demonstrating interactive rather than strictly structural parsing. The study contributes to syntactic theory by extending the role of c-command to advanced L2 contexts, parsing research by showing interactive strategy use, and pedagogy by advocating explicit instruction on structural relations combined with cognitive strategy training. These insights inform advanced grammar curricula and highlight the need for integrated approaches to ambiguity resolution in academic English.
