The study used a mixed-methods design, an experimental pre-test-post-test, and qualitative methods utilizing YouTube videos as instructional media. Data were collected through tests to gain the quantitative data, and interviews, observations, and documentation supporting it in qualitative.

Abstract

This study examines the influence of online media discourse on public opinion during the Bengkulu regional elections using a Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) approach. The research focuses on the dominant narratives presented in online news and social media, highlighting themes such as economic development, political integrity, and candidates' personal character. Data were collected from multiple online platforms during the 2023 election campaign period, including major news websites and social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter. The findings reveal that economic development narratives had the strongest impact on voter sentiment, with candidates emphasizing local growth receiving more positive responses. While concerns about political integrity were present, they did not significantly influence voter behavior. Personal character emerged as a crucial factor, particularly on social media, where voters engaged more with narratives of trust and relatability. This study contributes to understanding the role of media framing in regional elections, reinforcing previous research on the impact of localized issues on voter behavior. The findings offer practical insights for political communication strategies in regional contexts and highlight the need for media literacy to critically engage with media discourse.

Abstract

This study presents a narrative review of gender representation in language textbooks, examining how male and female characters are depicted across diverse educational and cultural contexts. The review aimed to identify patterns of underrepresentation, role stereotyping, and heteronormativity, as well as to explore how systemic factors shape textbook content. A systematic literature search was conducted in Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar using targeted keywords and Boolean combinations. Inclusion criteria focused on peer-reviewed studies from 2010 to 2025 that analyzed gender representation in language textbooks through content analysis, discourse analysis, or mixed methods. The findings reveal persistent gender imbalances, with men more frequently represented in professional and public domains, while women are marginalized or confined to domestic roles. Cross-national comparisons demonstrate that such disparities are more pronounced in developing countries but also persist globally, including in contexts with progressive policies. Furthermore, heteronormativity remains dominant, with LGBTQ+ identities largely absent from textbook narratives. These outcomes underscore the gap between policy commitments to gender equity and entrenched cultural, political, and religious influences in education. Addressing these challenges requires curricular reforms, stronger enforcement of gender-sensitive guidelines, and teacher training to critically engage with biased materials. Future research should broaden geographic scope, adopt intersectional perspectives, and investigate digital learning environments. By highlighting both persistent inequities and potential avenues for reform, this review emphasizes the importance of inclusive and equitable textbooks in shaping learners’ identities and opportunities.

Abstract

Objective: This study examines students' views on the use of Basic Reading Comprehension materials developed with the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) model and a multicultural-based approach. Novelty: The novelty of this study lies in the integration of PBL with a multicultural approach to improve students' reading comprehension, motivation, and learning engagement in a diverse educational environment. Methods: This study used a qualitative approach involving 300 Indonesian students. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and open-ended questionnaires, then analyzed thematically to produce the effectiveness of this approach. Results: Students felt more motivated and active in discussions when the material combined problem-solving tasks and culturally relevant content. PBL improved the ability to understand texts through critical thinking and collaboration, while the multicultural approach helped students integrate the material with their cultural background, thus encouraging inclusivity and awareness of diversity. Challenges found include the need for more assistance for students who are not familiar with PBL. Conclusion: The integration of PBL with multicultural-based materials can significantly improve reading learning by making it more interactive, inclusive, and meaningful. It is recommended to provide additional support for diverse learners and develop more culturally responsive teaching materials.

Abstract

This study explores the opportunities and threats of digital tools in English Language Teaching (ELT) from the perspective of university students. Using a mixed-method approach that combined qualitative interviews and quantitative questionnaires, the research identifies both the benefits and challenges of digital learning environments. Findings reveal that approximately 80% of respondents perceived digital tools as beneficial for improving accessibility and motivation, while nearly 60% reported distractions and technical issues as key obstacles. Theoretically, the study draws on constructivist learning theory, which posits that technology supports learner autonomy when accompanied by meaningful interaction. The results highlight the dual nature of digital learning—its ability to enhance engagement while simultaneously creating new barriers to effective communication and focus. This study contributes to the growing discourse on digital pedagogy by offering contextual insights into ELT students’ experiences, providing practical implications for educators and policymakers seeking to optimize digital learning environments in higher education.
