Abstract

This study explores thirst tweets as sexual objectification with women as the writers and men as the targets, and the reason this phenomenon is allowed by society. As a new trend by BuzzFeed, thirst tweets are a set of tweets where mostly women compliment celebrities’ bodies. The data were gathered from a playlist video under the account BuzzFeed Celeb on YouTube. Firstly, Fairclough’s (2013) CDA and Langton’s (2009) Sexual Objectification theories were used to analyze the social relations of thirst tweets with sexual objectification. Secondly, watching the celebs’ reactions and comparing it to Berdahl et al. (1996) answered public’s tolerance in objectifying men. The results show that the construction of thirst tweets is in the form of reducing to the body and appearance, using violent language, and calling the celebs ‘daddy’. Also, the celebrities’ reactions and power play an important part in that the objectification is justifiable. While few felt uncomfortable, the male celebs still act polite by thanking the writers. Writers, as the consumers in a fandom, felt they are entitled to objectify these celebrities.

Abstract

As Chinese popularity globally increases, the dynamics of multilingual Chinese classrooms are becoming more apparent in the field of language teaching. Following such trends, this study explores the phenomena of learning Chinese as a Foreign Language (CFL) through the English as Medium Instruction (EMI) in the context of Indonesian Higher Education. This study intends to contribute to the growing body of knowledge on translanguaging pedagogy and offer decision-makers and educators’ practical approaches for CFL training across a variety of linguistic situations. Through the use of a case study approach, this study investigates how CFL lecturers view and position translanguaging in their classes, as well as how such views are applied as they naturally occur in their CFL classes. Participating in this study are three native Chinese speakers of English who are limited to moderate competency in Indonesian and varied experiences in teaching CFL. The data are gathered through written teaching material examination and interviews. The results of this study show that lecturers are open to translanguaging options and positively perceive it and they use it either as explanatory strategy or managerial strategy in their CFL class.  Even so, all three lecturers are aware that more careful consideration is still required due to its potential drawbacks and challenges.

Abstract

This study delves into the use and impact of fanilect, a specialized form of language, within Taylor Swift’s fandom on TikTok. By employing discourse analysis, it examines the various forms and functions of fanilect in this digital community. The findings reveal four key types of fanilect: jargon, which consists of specific terms and phrases used only within the fan group; intertextual references, where fans incorporate Taylor Swift's lyrics or cultural references into their interactions; routine interactions, such as repeated behaviors or phrases during events or online discussions; and multimodal communication where fans express themselves through a combination of text, images, and videos. Furthermore, the study identifies fanilect's roles in shaping the dynamics within the Swiftie fandom. First, it contributes to identity formation, helping fans identify themselves as part of the community. Second, it establishes power structures, where knowledge of fanilect signifies status within the fandom. Third, fanilect fosters community building by encouraging emotional connections and shared experiences. Lastly, it enhances creative expression, allowing fans to engage with the fandom in varied and artistic ways. This research provides critical insights into how fanilect influences community interactions and identity within Taylor Swift’s fanbase, offering broader implications for understanding linguistic practices in digital fan cultures.

Abstract

This study explores the English language anxiety experienced by Javanese postgraduate female students. It highlights the influence of social, cultural, and gender factors on language anxiety. Using a qualitative approach with thematic analysis, data were collected through semi-structured interviews with a total of seven students from the English Language Education postgraduate program at Universitas Negeri Malang. The results indicate that there are three main sources of language anxiety: fear of making mistakes due to a culture of shyness, anxiety when speaking in public due to a culture of avoiding confrontation, and lack of preparation in using English in academic contexts. Moreover, Javanese cultural values such as etiquette (tata krama), politeness, harmony (rukun), and gender roles emphasizing politeness have been shown to influence female students' anxiety in using English. Students also used and shared various strategies to cope with anxiety, such as building self-confidence, maintaining a positive mindset, continuing to practice, and creating a comfortable learning environment. This study also highlights the importance of a learning approach that is aware of students' cultural backgrounds in creating a more inclusive and supportive learning environment, such as avoiding negative judgment and monotonous learning.

Abstract

The increasing adoption of content and language integrated learning (CLIL) in educational settings has caught teachers’ interest in using translanguaging as a tool to promote effective teaching and learning. Many studies have discussed translanguaging in CLIL, but limited studies have focused on young learners. This case study aims to explore translanguaging practices and perspectives in the CLIL context. Three teachers at one of the national plus schools in Malang, Indonesia, participated in this study. The data were obtained from classroom observations and interviews and analyzed using a thematic pattern. The results showed that teachers’ teaching practices, if seen from a translanguaging lens, while they were explaining the material, asking questions, giving tasks, and giving feedback to young learners. The reasons why the teachers applied translanguaging were to explain the materials and give advice to students, and to address students’ multilingual backgrounds. The advantages of performing translanguaging were to understand the instruction, explain the difficult materials, bond with students, and improve students’ vocabulary. This study suggests that integrating translanguaging strategies in CLIL might support more inclusive and effective teaching for young multilingual learners.

Abstract

The emergence of coworking spaces have disrupted conventional working lifestyle and built a new trend: shared office space which highlights community-based services. Our paper looks at how this new business promotes their service through advertising language in online media. Advertising language in previous studies have mainly focused on slogans found in printed advertisements (Pratiwi et al., 2019; Dubovičienė & Skorupa, 2014; Niken et al., 2013; Suryasa, 2016), but we focus on headlines in internet advertisements, particularly websites. The headlines were analyzed using linguistic feature theories in four levels: phonological, lexical, syntactic, and semantic levels. The analysis discusses the linguistic features used in the coworking spaces’ home page, the use of the linguistic features in the content, and the effectiveness in attracting readers. Data collected for the study include 59 websites from a coworking space reservation platform, Coworker, and interviews with people involved in the industry. Results of the study show that headlines in coworking space websites prominently use alliteration, noun phrases, and hyperbole. Unlike headlines of printed media, digital media has to comply with search engine optimization (SEO) guidelines so that search engines will index the website properly. HIGHLIGHTS: Linguistic features used in website headlines have several elements in common with headlines in different ad channels, like TVs and printed ads. The main difference between headlines in a digital and printed advertisement is the use of search engine optimization (SEO) strategies in online channels. People’s educational and professional backgrounds can influence how they interpret headlines on websites.

Abstract

Figurative language is a way to captivate readers, expressed through writing in a more creative style. This research aims to find out and compare the translation techniques used by Sapardi Djoko Damono and Dian Vita Ellyati to translate similes and metaphors in The Old Man and The Sea Novel and their effect on the quality of the translation. This research used a descriptive qualitative method that employed a sampling technique. The research data are similes and metaphors from The Old Man and the Sea and its two Indonesian translations. This research collects data from document analysis, questionnaires, and focus group discussions. This research shows that translation techniques used in similes and metaphors have different impacts on the translation quality in both versions. The final result of the calculation shows that version A has a final translation quality score of 2.42, while version B has a final quality score of 2.54. The findings highlight the importance of carefully considering and selecting appropriate techniques to convey figurative language in translated works effectively. Future research in this field could focus on exploring additional translation strategies for other forms of figurative language, investigating the preferences, and examining the influence of cultural context on the translation process.

Abstract

EFL learners in Indonesia, who typically speak a local mother tongue and Bahasa Indonesia as the national language due to the country’s linguistic diversity, often face additional challenges when speaking English, classified as a foreign language, leading to an increased likelihood of slip-of-the-tongue (SOT) errors. This descriptive qualitative study aims to identify the types and frequencies of SOT produced by Indonesian multilingual speakers in EFL spoken production and to investigate whether SOT occurrence is influenced by age, gender, and speech settings (prepared vs. unprepared). Twelve participants were divided into two age groups (13–19 and 20–35), consisting of three males and three females. Data from recorded readings and interviews were transcribed and analyzed, revealing 250 total SOT occurrences. The findings show that all eight SOT types proposed by Caroll (2007) were present, with substitution as the most frequent (79 instances), followed by deletion (65), anticipation (36), perseveration (23), addition (20), exchange (15), and shift and blend as the least frequent (7 each). The 13–19-year-old group produced more SOTs overall than the 20–35-year-old group, while females produced more SOTs than males. Regarding speech settings, the younger group (13–19) generated more SOTs in prepared speech, whereas the older group (20–35) produced more unprepared speech. The prominence of specific SOT types suggests that future research should explore how juggling multiple linguistic systems shapes speech production and error patterns.

Abstract

EFL textbooks play a crucial role in building sociocultural understanding for young learners, particularly in developing their perspectives and perceptions of gender. This study systematically and critically examines how representations of femininity emerge in Indonesian EFL textbooks for junior high school students. Using Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA), this study examines how femininity is discursively constructed through various textual and visual sources. Referring back to the Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) framework proposed by Fairclough (1995), this study critiques and analyzes how women, including girls, are portrayed in these textbooks, particularly in social contexts such as family, work, and community life. The findings highlight that some Indonesian EFL textbooks, particularly for junior high school students, predominantly reinforce traditional gender norms, strongly aligned with Neo-Ibuism. This contemporary discourse idealizes women as dedicated mothers and caregivers, while at the same time providing them with opportunities to have professional and leadership roles, albeit in limited areas. Such representation, while promoting a limited change, still risks perpetuating gender stereotypes that normalize multiple burdens for women. This study implies the need for more inclusive and diverse portrayals of femininity in educational materials to support the promotion of gender equality in Indonesian classrooms and, more broadly, Indonesian education.
