Abstract

This study aimed to explore the utilization of attitudes in editorial articles about the 2024 Indonesian presidential election in The Jakarta Post and Independent Observer. Using a descriptive qualitative method, this study adopts the APPRAISAL theory by Martin & White, (2005) and Martin & Rose (2007) to analyze and interpret the evaluative language employed in the articles. The data were taken from editorial articles related to the 2024 Indonesian presidential election published in The Jakarta Post and Independent Observer from the end of 2023 to early 2024. This study employs textual and discourse analyses to examine the interpersonal language used and its broader social implications. The findings revealed that Appreciation is the most frequent category with 251 items (66%), followed by Judgment with 96 items (25%), and Affect with 33 items (9%). These findings indicate that the appreciation portrays the media's role in subtly guiding the audience's evaluation of political events, allowing for a space where audiences can form their own interpretations while still being subtly influenced by the media's tone. The judgment values used in the media imply that the media contributes to crafting a more competent and trustworthy image of politicians, which can influence the way voters view and assess them. Finally, the negative effect, especially insecurity, illustrates how the media may amplify doubts or fears related to the feasibility of government programs, which could influence public opinion and perception of political candidates. Furthermore, this study serves as a valuable reference for future researchers interested in media discourse analysis, particularly in the context of political journalism.

Abstract

This study investigates the influence of teaching styles and learning facilities on students’ motivation in learning English at the junior high school level in Banggai Regency, Indonesia. Drawing on Deci and Ryan’s (1985) Self-Determination Theory and Gardner’s (2010) Socio-Educational Model, this research adopts a mixed-methods design involving 60 eighth-grade students. Quantitative data were collected using structured questionnaires, while qualitative insights were obtained through semi-structured interviews with a total of twelve purposively selected participants.The findings reveal a significant positive relationship between facilitative teaching approaches and students’ intrinsic motivation. Classrooms equipped with adequate and functional learning facilities, such as audiovisual tools, digital learning media, and conducive physical environments, were also found to enhance students’ engagement and motivation levels. Interview results further underscore how autonomy-supportive teaching, interactive activities, and access to relevant learning resources can minimize anxiety and increase willingness to participate in language learning. The study highlights the synergistic effect between pedagogical approaches and the learning environment, indicating that even effective teaching practices may fail to produce optimal motivational outcomes in under-resourced settings. Practical implications are provided for educators, school administrators, and policymakers to support the integration of student-centered pedagogy and investment in school infrastructure to improve language learning outcomes. Limitations of the study include its restricted sample size and geographic concentration, suggesting the need for broader and longitudinal research to assess the generalizability and long-term impact of teaching styles and learning facilities on student motivation.

Abstract

Research on gender issues in literature has significantly developed in recent decades, reflecting the growing awareness among younger generations of past social injustices, particularly regarding gender representation. As Showalter (1989) argues, literature has long been a powerful medium for expressing critical perspectives on social norms across various genres, including poetry, novels, and drama. A notable literary figure in this context is Emily Dickinson, whose works subtly yet incisively critique patriarchal structures. The analysis focuses on how gender, power, and language are portrayed in Dickinson’s poetry. It examines her use of language as a tool to challenge social norms and deconstruct rigid gender identities. The research combines Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA), based on Fairclough’s model, with Feminist Critical Discourse Analysis. Judith Butler’s theory of gender performativity serves as the conceptual framework. Four of Dickinson’s poems were purposefully selected for analysis using textual and interpretative methods, supported by critical responses from postgraduate students. The findings reveal that Dickinson strategically utilizes metaphor, symbolism, and unconventional sentence structures as forms of resistance to gender norms. Her poems contain embedded critiques of patriarchal dominance and create space for reinterpreting gender identity beyond binary constraints. Literature provides a platform for marginalized voices to challenge deeply ingrained stereotypes and normalized ideologies, a fact affirmed by this study. Dickinson's poetic voice remains relevant in contemporary discussions. By integrating critical literacy and gender awareness into English language education, literature can effectively foster reflective perspectives on the power dynamics inherent in language and culture.

Abstract

Indigenous poetry correlates with oral form. It signifies shamanic mantra but embodies ecological wisdom since it mostly depicts human’s relationship with nature. This paper deals with contemporary English poems especially those of Australian-Aboriginal and Southeast Asian poems which make use of indigenous aspects in the form and content. The purpose of this research is to identify how the use of holophrasis is beneficial in highlighting the indigenous aspects in the poems. Among these poems include Evelyn Araluen and Lionel Fogarty, two contemporary Aboriginal poets who adopt Aboriginal phrases in their poems; Quintin Jose V. Pastrana, a young Philippine poet who was inspired by the Ambahan or the indigenous poetic form of the Hanunuo Mangyan people’s in Oriental Mindoro, the Philippines; and Mario F. Lawi, a young Indonesian poet from East Nusa Tenggara who illustrates the initiation rite of Nappu Pudi tribe in that island. This research used qualitative method by referring to holophrasis as the method and praxis in reading the native poems. By means of the holophrastic reading, I found that the use of indigenous elements in their poems serves as methods to aestheticize and indigenize the poems in order to assert native identity in the hegemony of English as the colonial language.
