Abstract

With an emphasis on the overall rhetorical tactics used in a political discourse, this qualitative case study investigates translingual practice in the 2024 Jakarta gubernatorial election debates. It specifically examines how the candidates deliberately switched between Indonesian, English, and regional languages to interact with a linguistically varied population and to create compelling political narratives. The study is framed under the frameworks of both translingualism and Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA). Data sources were taken from the transcribed video recordings. The analysis emphasizes the interplay between multilingual communication, voter perception, and identity construction within Jakarta’s multicultural context. The findings revealed that translingual practice was purposefully used to appeal to a broader range of demographic groups. Candidates can improve their political messaging, negotiate their identities, and promote inclusivity by mixing languages. Translingual practice is a dynamic and flexible tool for political communication in Jakarta's diverse language environment. By showing that translingual practice serves as a strategic performative tool in electoral engagement rather than just being a reflection of Indonesia's linguistic diversity, this study contributes to the body of research on political discourse in multilingual cultures. It makes the case that, especially in globalized metropolitan contexts, language choice in political discourse is vital for influencing public opinion and for navigating democratic processes.

Abstract

Globalization has ushered English language teaching (ELT) to a radical shift which results in the incorporation of post-humanist paradigm in ELT. Ironically, however, this paradigm has not been thoroughly considered in ELT in periphery contexts where sociocultural-semiotic symbols as language materiality abound. In this article we consider language materiality as part of cultural materiality and social life which highlights transmodal elements a key concept in parallel localization within communities. The present study examines how the indigenous Dayak community in Kalimantan, Indonesia, utilizes materiality and transmodal production in EFL classrooms to facilitate knowledge construction through interactions with diverse objects, symbols, and resources. An instant ethnography was employed to capture transmodal moments, such as from writing to speaking, video to text, or speech to action, which result in dynamic transformations and expansions of meaning in the multimodal discourses classroom to students who have not previously learned English in their primary school. Multimodal Conversation Analysis (MCA) was used to analyze the data, which revealed that materiality is a transmodal production that encourages students to create meaning via their own lenses. As the students immersed themselves in the phase-by-phase engagement with semiotic symbols related to their English classes, the result shows that they improved their communication skills, comprehension, and access to knowledge. Based on their understanding of English, the knowledge they gain provides them with the opportunities to think critically. Furthermore, transmodal through materials can be applied as sources for students to make meaning.

Abstract

Voice as one of vital elements in academic writing can impinge upon the quality of one’s writing. Despite robust controversies over the usefulness of this metaphorical notion, a plethora of studies on voice has contributed to our understanding of its role in determining writing quality. The foci of these studies, however, are constricted on either voice as individual or voice as social, ignoring the perspective of voice as dialogic. This case study investigates the written reviews of a manuscript author by four blind reviewers in different international Scopus-indexed journals. Drawing on the ideas of “voice as dialogic” and of “transpositioning” of identity, this study seeks to identify and to examine the authorial strategies of an author in constructing his own voice in textual realizations as responses to the manuscript blind reviewers. In doing so, it attempts to finds out the author’s writing identity as manifested in the texts constructed.  Relativism’s methodology was employed in order to provide the construction of certain phenomena (i.e. dialogical voice) as accurately as possible. Results revealed that the manuscript author employed two key authorial strategies: averring established authority and foregrounding the ecologies of knowledges.

Abstract

This study aims to investigate how pedagogical translanguaging in language education constructs a translanguaging space to mediate and reduce extraneous cognitive load in EFL classrooms. Using a descriptive qualitative design, classroom observations and video-stimulated recall interviews were conducted with Indonesian university students. Data were analyzed through Multimodal Conversation Analysis combined with Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis. Results show that teacher-led pedagogical translanguaging connects multiple languages, addresses linguistic insecurity, and incorporates multimodal resources. These practices reduce cognitive load because they allow students to process new information by using their full linguistic repertoire, lowering stress and enhancing engagement. Constructing a translanguaging space fosters an inclusive environment, enabling students to participate more actively, retain content better, and develop metalinguistic awareness. The findings support the integration of pedagogical translanguaging into EFL teaching as a means to promote equity, linguistic diversity, and quality education, in alignment with Sustainable Development Goal 4.
