Abstract

Old songs (of 1980s) linger without limit of time. Seniors at their 50s, for sure, like such songs to bring back the past memories of various feelings, which, for some, have been made ‘Skeleton in the cupboard.’ Such a phenomenon does not occur without reasons. Old songs still maintain  tight principles of literary esthetics  through thematic structure and metaphoric uses. The current study investigated thematic-metaphoric esthetics in two song lyrics entitled  Kau Seputih Melati written by  Jockie Suryo Prayogo and sung by Dian Permana Poetra, and Tiada Nama Seindah Namau, written by Obbie Messakh and sung by Ratih Purwasih, two of the favorite singers of 1980s. In order to collect the data, the listening and taking note method were applied in this research. The song lyrics assumed to employ well-structured-themes and metaphors as esthetic devises were purposefully taken for descriptive, qualitative and interpretative analysis. UAMCT.6 Application of Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL) was used in componential analysis on the use of metaphors as well as reffering to Systemic FunctionLinguistic by Halliday. The findings indicate that thematic-metaphoric esthetics are thematic structure and the use of metaphors which can arouse ‘human’s latent sense of beauty’ seen from the consistency and uniqueness of theme-rheme structure and the types, meanings and functions of the metaphors in words, phrases or sentences. The findings were thoroughly discussed to justify that old songs of 1980s maintained the values of literary esthetics apart from the social values to enhance the teaching of literature, especially Indonesian literature.This research concludes that the consistency of theme rheme found in both songs contribute to the  song  esthetic meanwhile the use of metaphors in forms of words, phrases, clauses  which are are aligned and balanced  also contribute to song aesthetic related to the  imagination both from the singer and  listeners

Abstract

For academicians, publishing in international journals means engaging in a border-crossing activity, as they disseminate their research findings globally. People from various countries with different cultures and norms read research papers. However, academic writing is problematic for non-native English-speaking students (NNES), as prospective academics. This review paper aims to identify the challenges that NNES face in writing research article introductions (RAIs), including rhetorical structures, tense choice, tense shift, clausal and phrasal complexity, and the benefits of using translanguaging techniques in academic writing classes. Thematic analysis was employed in this library study. The research procedure involves selecting relevant research articles on the topic, reading each article, taking notes on the key findings, integrating and discussing the findings from the reviewed articles, and designing translanguaging techniques to teach academic writing to NNES. The article review reveals that NNES face challenges in writing complete rhetorical structures, particularly in tense choice and tense shift, because in academic writing, tense usage is not only governed by time but also by the rhetorical concept. It also reveals that translanguaging techniques facilitate the students’ awareness of the native language and target language academic writing rules and conventions. Translanguaging techniques enhance students’ analysis skills, critical reading, and critical thinking.

Abstract

In response to the lack of enthusiasm among students for writing poetry, the Central Java Language Center organized a Young Generation Literacy Workshop: Student Poetry Writing event. The primary goal of this workshop was to train aspiring students in the art of creating poetic literary works and to enhance their proficiency in writing according to the EYD (Ejaan Yang Disempurnakan) guidelines. In this study, we employed a qualitative descriptive approach to elucidate a phenomenon that arose following students' participation in the Young Generation Literacy Workshop: Poetry Writing for Students during their internships at the Central Java Language Center. The activity's outcomes consist of participants' poetry in pdf format. Furthermore, these exercises provide students with the opportunity to acquire fresh knowledge, allowing them to analyze poetry, grasp its linguistic components, improve their skills in creative writing, and develop a more profound comprehension of language and literature principles.

Abstract

Reading comprehension is a foundational skill underpinning students’ success in language learning, critical thinking, and academic achievement. However, many EFL learners experience difficulties engaging with extended and complex texts when reading instruction lacks creative and multimodal elements. This classroom-based study explores undergraduate English Literature students’ perceptions of using Scratch-based digital storytelling in a reading course at the English Literature Department of the Faculty of Law and Language, Universitas STIKUBANK. Grounded in constructivist learning and multimodal literacy theories, the study examines how the integration of technology, creativity, and narrative production is perceived to support students’ engagement with literary texts. Thirty-five students participated in a six-week digital storytelling project in which they digitally retold literary stories using Scratch. Data were collected through a validated 10-item questionnaire (Cronbach’s α = .94) and open-ended student reflections. The findings indicate that students perceived Scratch as an engaging platform that supported their understanding of story structure, character motivation, and thematic meaning. Students also reported increased collaboration, confidence, and enjoyment during reading activities. While the findings are perception-based, the study suggests that Scratch-based digital storytelling holds pedagogical potential for supporting students’ engagement with literary texts, interpretive processes, and digital literacy in EFL literature classrooms, thereby contributing to Sustainable Development Goal 4 (Quality Education).
