Abstract

The most essential element of English teaching is culture. The cultural content of the language education and learning process supports students to describe the language that exists in that culture. Cultural content is communicated through the textbook as essential in education and learning. So, culture content analysis is critical to selecting, developing, and effectively using the correct textbooks. This research aims to examine the types of cultures represented in textbooks, classify them into source, target, and international cultures (Cortazzi & Jin, 1999), and how the cultures of the classified textbooks are represented. It is to discover aesthetic, social, semantic, and practical senses (Adaskou, Britten & Fahsi, 1990). Researchers used descriptive qualitative methods. This research data is from the English textbook When English Rings for Junior High School. This data is cultural material gathered from all textbook readings, conversations, tasks, and images and converted in frequency. Two results were found in the textbook analysis. First are the results presented in the textbook entitled "When English Rings the Bell," which are source culture, target culture, and international culture. Secondly, the culture of both textbooks was represented primarily by pragmatic sensations compared to aesthetic, semantic, and sociological sensations. Therefore, there was an imbalance between the type of culture presented and how cultures were presented in the textbook.

Abstract

Women have always been associated with societal standards. The current societal standards are considered by society not to make quality women because they are only fixated on the assumption that women are creatures who always depend on other people. Like a new article entity that leads "Break the glass ceiling". In this case, a young girl is urged to follow society's assumption that women who are old enough get married immediately and don't need to continue their education and explore the outside world to add value to themselves. The article illustrates that today's adolescents are concerned about the statement of marrying young, then thinking that after marriage their life will be better without adequate knowledge for both material and emotional fulfillment d. This research is qualitative research with a review of Foucault's critical discourse analysis method, from the perspective of discourse analysis critical from Alba-Juez (2009). The results of this media discourse want women not to follow the mindset of the ancient society which made women not independent emotionally and materially.

Abstract

This study presents a comparative corpus analysis of interactional metadiscourse features in two English textbooks used in Indonesian senior high schools: an EFL textbook published by the Indonesian Ministry of Education and Culture (Bahasa Inggris: Work in Progress) and an ESL textbook published by Cambridge University Press (English as a Second Language: Second Edition). Despite the central role textbooks play in shaping classroom discourse and developing students’ communicative competence, limited attention has been paid to how interactional metadiscourse is utilized in these materials, especially in EFL contexts like Indonesia, where textbooks often serve as the primary source of English input. Addressing this gap, the present study investigates how interactional metadiscourse, features that guide readers through the text and engage them, differ between a locally produced EFL textbook and an internationally published ESL textbook. The analysis was conducted using a corpus-based approach, drawing on Hyland’s (2005) model of interactional metadiscourse to manually identify and categorize features, including hedges, boosters, attitude markers, self-mentions, and engagement markers. The results revealed notable differences in the frequency and types of interactional metadiscourse employed in the two materials. These findings support the alternative hypothesis (H1), which posits that the international ESL textbook contains more interactional metadiscourse features than the Indonesian EFL textbook. The study contributes to the limited body of empirical research on metadiscourse in English textbooks and offers insights relevant to improving textbook design and English language instruction in the Indonesian context.

Abstract

English non-native speaker (NNS) hosts in television broadcasting often face communicative pressures where maintaining fluency, accuracy, and audience engagement is critical. These challenges require the use of compensatory strategies, that is, techniques to overcome gaps in linguistic proficiency and sustain interaction. This study investigates the linguistic and non-linguistic communication strategies employed by NNS hosts on SEA Today TV across two formats: talk shows (TS) and on-location interviews (OL). Using a mixed-methods content analysis, 20 purposively selected broadcast episodes (2021–2025) were examined to represent program variety and host diversity. Data were coded using an adapted version of Farrahi’s (2011) taxonomy, with 20% of the corpus double-coded; inter-rater reliability (Cohen’s κ TS = 1.000; Cohen’s κ OL = 0.875) confirmed coding consistency. The findings identified two main groups of strategies (linguistic and non-linguistic) comprising sixteen subcategories, of which fourteen were observed. Eight strategies, including approximation, elaboration, and body gestures, emerged as a shared “core repertoire.” Contextual contrasts were also evident: talk shows displayed higher reliance on appeal for help and circumlocution due to their collaborative studio setting. At the same time, on-location interviews emphasized elaboration and environmental gestures in response to real-time unpredictability. These results demonstrate that NNS hosts flexibly adapt a stable repertoire of strategies to context-specific demands. Pedagogically, the results suggest that broadcaster training and English as a Lingua Franca (ELF) instruction should explicitly incorporate communication strategy practice. For instance, training modules could simulate on-location unpredictability to help hosts practise elaboration and approximation strategies, while studio-based exercises could focus on appeals for help and interactional alignment with co-hosts and guests. Such targeted activities would strengthen broadcasters’ strategic competence, enabling them to manage linguistic limitations more effectively in diverse communicative settings.
