Abstract

This study aims to determine the type of tense used in the lyrics of the song “Heaven” by Lyodra Ginting and Calum Scott. The research method used in this study is a qualitative descriptive research method. The data used in this study came from the lyrics of the song “Heaven,” which Calum Scott wrote and sang by himself and Lyodra Ginting. The researcher uses the theory of grammar and style in Stylistics to analyze the tenses selection in the song lyrics data. The study results show that this song’s lyrics predominantly use the simple present tense, and the rest use the present continuous tense, present perfect continuous tense, simple past tense, past continuous tense, and past future tense. There are reasons behind the songwriter’s tense selection. The tense in the song is dominated by simple present tense to express a habitual use indicating a generalization over a set of times. Keywords: Calum Scott; Heaven; Lyodra Ginting; Stylistics; Tense Selection; Song Lyrics

Abstract

Effective technology integration in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teaching requires teachers to develop strong Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK). In Indonesia, where teacher education programs increasingly emphasize digital learning, understanding pre-service EFL teachers’ self-concept of TPACK is crucial for assessing their readiness before entering the profession. This study examines the TPACK profile of Indonesian pre-service EFL teachers, identifying their strengths and areas for improvement in applying technology to language instruction. The study involved 111 final-year undergraduate and first-year master's students who had completed teaching practice but had no formal teaching experience. Data were collected using a TPACK survey and analyzed through descriptive statistics to identify patterns in their TPACK mastery. Findings reveal that pre-service teachers are confident in their content knowledge (CK) and basic technological skills (TK). Still, they struggle with the full integration of technology into pedagogy (TPK), pedagogical adaptability (PK), and leadership in TPACK. While they acknowledge the importance of technology in teaching, gaps persist in their ability to select and apply diverse technologies effectively in classroom settings. Additionally, they face challenges adapting teaching strategies to different learners and assessing student understanding in varied ways. Their leadership in supporting peers with TPACK integration was also limited. These insights underscore the need for curricular enhancements in teacher education programs at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels, focusing on practical applications of TPACK, deeper technological and pedagogical training, and leadership development to better prepare future EFL educators for technology-enhanced instruction.

Abstract

Political parties are a forum for Indonesian people from various ideological backgrounds as channels for the aspirations of a pluralistic society. The party's ideology is embodied in the vision and mission that the party aspires to when domination is obtained after the General Election is held. In this research, the anthem lyrics of the top three political parties, based on the 2019 legislative elections, were taken as the data and studied through a stylistic approach at the lexicogrammatical level to figure out the ideology in the realization of the vision and mission of the political parties. The method of the analysis applied descriptive qualitative through transitivity analysis in order to reveal the lexical and grammatical construction in the lyric. The typical processes used in each anthem characterized the cognitive frame of how the political parties set their vision and orientation towards the nation goals. It was found that the use of stylistic devices came in low frequency, including epizeuxis, parallelism, imagery, metaphor, symbolism, asyndeton and anaphora. The construction of clauses in the anthem lyrics has a significant impact in expressing the goals of political parties ideologically, so that the results of this study are expected to be an alternative reference that provides a paradigm for the voting community during the election period

Abstract

This research examines the application of Nida’s (1964) formal equivalence theory in machine translation, with a focus on the structural and grammatical aspects of CNN headlines translated by Bing Translator and DeepL. This research uses a descriptive qualitative approach, analyzing translated headlines related to the 2024 United States Election. Data was collected from CNN’s official website from October to November 2024, and translations were obtained from both machine translation tools. The analysis shows that whereas both translation tools attempt to maintain structural accuracy, Bing Translator tends to preserve rigid sentence structures, while DeepL adapts phrases to improve fluency, sometimes at the expense of grammatical accuracy. A readability assessment, based on the researcher’s interpretation, shows that DeepL produces smoother translations, which are more accessible to readers. This research contributes to the machine translation reliability discussion in journalism and emphasizes the challenge of maintaining formal equivalence while ensuring readability. Future research can explore a broader corpus or integrate computational linguistic analysis to improve translation evaluation methodology.Keywords:  Formal Equivalence; Machine Translation; News Translation; Readability;  News Headlines

Abstract

The Bangka Malay language, which is a Malay-Polynesian language family, has dialect variations with heterogeneous sub-dialects within it, and one of them is Sungailiat dialect. The purpose of this study is to focus on documenting prosodic features of Sungailiat dialect as one of the dialects in Bangka Malay language. This research is a qualitative research with research stages applying phonetic experiments using a practical phonetic and phonology approaches developed by Collins and Mess (2019). Prosodic features include speech intensity, duration, and intonation. Data collection was carried out through a process of observation, interview, and recording of respondents who are native speakers of the Sungailiat dialect. The data were processed by using voice analyzer software Praat version 6.3.03 to obtain accurate measurements of intensity, duration, and intonation. The results of the analysis show some variations in lexical entries, particularly from the elder informants. Intensity is marked by the oscillation of intensity contours and the frequency densities since the speech flows in co-articulation effect. That means that the adjacent vowels or consonants interchange to form the speech dynamics. Speech intonation in Sungailiat dialect is identical with accentuations of initial syllable, particularly when addressing someone. Imperative mood is prone to be in offering form rather than in command. In speech duration, elder informants are likely to show the whole prosodic variables particularly, as in the flow of their speech in higher pace, and more accented points in intonation contours. Interference of culture in daily communications is believed to shape Sungailiat dialect as it is shown in the prosodic analysis.

Abstract

This study examines the role of Bangka Island’s folklore as an element of intangible cultural heritage (ICH) in shaping, promoting, and sustaining local tourist destinations. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, the research integrates semi-structured interviews, field observations, and document analysis conducted across three folklore-associated sites: Batu Rusa, Dempu Awang, and Pantai Penyusuk. Narrative mapping and thematic analysis reveal that each site presents varying degrees of narrative richness and cultural embodiment. Batu Rusa demonstrates the strongest integration of folklore into cultural practices, featuring layered narratives, rituals, and community traditions that reinforce place identity. Dempu Awang, anchored by a single hero legend, shows strong symbolic potential but limited cultural activation, while Penyusuk Beach offers a thin narrative layer overshadowed by its natural scenic appeal. The findings indicate that folklore enhances destination identity, deepens visitor engagement, and serves as cultural capital for tourism development. However, institutional utilization remains limited due to the absence of structured storytelling programs and interpretive tourism infrastructure. This study concludes that Bangka Island holds significant potential for literary and folklore-based tourism, and greater integration of ICH within tourism planning could strengthen cultural preservation and support sustainable destination development.

Abstract

Despite increasing international recognition, Indonesian literature remains underrepresented in English Literature classrooms, where Western literary traditions continue to dominate curriculum and pedagogy. This study examines the postcolonial critiques represented in Ayu Utami's Saman and explores its potential as a resource for decolonial pedagogy in English Literature education. Employing a qualitative literary analysis design, the study uses close reading and thematic analysis to examine textual representations of coloniality and social inequality. The findings reveal seven major postcolonial critiques in the novel: colonial mentality, gendered violence, historical amnesia, feudal power structures, religious authority, state violence, and the marginalization of subaltern voices. The novel also portrays various forms of resistance that challenge oppressive political, economic, and cultural structures. These findings demonstrate that coloniality persists beyond formal independence through unequal power relations, institutional control, and the silencing of marginalized communities. Furthermore, the study argues that Saman possesses significant pedagogical value for fostering critical literacy, historical consciousness, epistemic justice, and student agency. By engaging students with local narratives and social realities, the novel can support efforts to challenge epistemic coloniality and advance decolonial approaches to English Literature education in Indonesian higher education.
