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

This study investigates how religious literacy and cultural materialism are represented in My Next Words, a government-issued English textbook series for elementary schools in Indonesia, and examines their alignment with the values of Profil Pelajar Pancasila. As English language learning is expected to promote not only communicative competence but also character education, this research explores the ideological content embedded in the textbook series for Grades 1, 2, 4, and 5. Using Critical Discourse Analysis as the methodological framework, the study analyzes how texts and illustrations convey messages related to religious values, material culture, and national character dimensions. The findings reveal that while the textbooks implicitly promote politeness and individual responsibility, they lack substantive religious or cultural representation. Cultural materialism is present through the portrayal of modern, middle-class lifestyles and material possessions. Although the textbooks support aspects of independence and moral behavior, they fall short in promoting diversity, collaboration, and critical thinking. This research highlights the need for more inclusive and reflective English learning materials that align with Indonesia’s educational goals and diverse cultural realities.

Abstract

Recount texts often present challenges for students due to their reliance on chronological structure, accurate use of past tense, and descriptive language, which can be difficult to master. Manga, as a visually engaging and narrative-driven medium, offers an innovative solution by simplifying complex concepts and making the learning process more interactive and enjoyable. This study explores the implementation of Manga media as a tool for teaching recount texts, emphasizing its ability to enhance students' comprehension and writing skills. A sample of thirty students from VIII A class at SMP Al Madina was selected through quota sampling for the research. A mixed-methods approach was employed to comprehensively present the results, utilizing data collected through questionnaires and tests. The result indicates that Manga media effectively enhanced students' recount text writing skills, as evidenced by improved test scores. The post-test results demonstrated a marked improvement over the pre-test, with the average score increasing from 68 in the pre-test to 74 in the post-test. The highest score improved from 76 to 82, while the lowest score increased from 60 to 65, indicating the significant impact of Manga media on student achievement. These findings suggest that Manga media is a novel tool and an effective collaborative medium for teaching recount text writing, as it fosters student engagement and improves learning outcomes.

Abstract

This topic was chosen because the researchersant to know which appraisal is dominant in Matthew's parables. According to Martin & White (2005), appraisal studies determine how Matthew evaluates what Jesus said in the Bible, especially in the parables. The researcher wants to know how Jesus used parables to teach his disciples. Why could the disciples understand what Jesus said, and why is using parables a powerful way to teach about the Kingdom of God. This study also focuses on the ideology and power with which Jesus used parables to teach his disciples. Based on this theory, ideology can be analyzed using appraisal studies, which include the analysis of affect, judgments, and appreciation. Therefore, this study aims to explore the manifestations of ideology and power by examining the evaluative study in Jesus' parables based on Matthew's writings. In this study, the researchers will collect data using an observation guide. Therefore, there are no actual participants who took part in this study. The data results and discussion on the Gospel of Matthew macro genre indicate it is a narrative text.

Abstract

This study analyzes impoliteness strategies in online political discourse, specifically focusing on the comments made by Indonesian netizens on TikTok regarding the presidential and vice-presidential candidate pairs. This research employed a qualitative descriptive approach to portray the phenomenon of impoliteness in the digital realm, especially in political interactions within the context of Indonesia’s presidential election. The study applied Culpeper’s (1996) theory of impoliteness strategies, and the data were collected from the Indonesian presidential election, specifically from TikTok accounts. Comments were gathered from the Anies-Muhaimin, Prabowo-Gibran, and Ganjar-Mahfud pairs. The data used in this study consisted of 60 instances of dark humor found across three TikTok accounts of presidential and vice-presidential candidates, which were then analyzed according to five categories of impoliteness strategies: bald on record impoliteness, positive impoliteness, negative impoliteness, sarcasm or mock, and withhold impoliteness. The results show that dark humor is most commonly conveyed through sarcasm or mock (35%), followed by positive impoliteness (28.3%), negative impoliteness (20%), bald on record impoliteness (16.7%), and no instances of withhold impoliteness. Thus, the findings contribute to understanding how impoliteness strategies are used by netizens to express political criticism or opinions online and their impact on political discourse in Indonesia. By understanding impoliteness, we will better appreciate politeness on social media and in person.

Abstract

This research examines the portrayal of women’s resistance in Kahlil Gibran's novelette, Broken Wings, through the lens of ecofeminism. Ecofeminism believes that women and environmental exploitation cannot be separated. Both emerge from patriarchal structures that upheld dominance and oppression. The purpose of this study is to analyze how the environment is constructed, how the oppression against women is depicted, and how resistance is represented in the narrative in the novelette Broken Wings. The study used descriptive qualitative analysis using Susan Griffin’s cultural ecofeminism as the theoretical framework to analyze the novelette. The findings reveal that male supremacy over women and nature is persistently portrayed, with Selma's character embodying subtle yet significant resistance. Her suffering, confinement, and resilience are symbolically reflected in natural images such as gardens and seasons. The study concludes that Selma's resistance manifests not through open rebellion but through inner resilience, emotional strength, and self-awareness, challenging the notion that silent women within oppressive systems are entirely passive. Thus, Broken Wings not only critiques gender-based discrimination but also highlights an integrated environmental awareness, confirming the ecofeminist argument that the domination of women and nature stems from the same patriarchal forces.
