Abstract

This paper explores the use of English in Australia based on the perspectives of Indonesian students. Studies on perception, expectations, and strategies on social experience have been carried out. However, most of these studies have not established models that consider the relationship among the three elements of expectations, perceptions, and strategies of Indonesian students in the host country, particularly in Australia. This paper attempts to capture the holistic picture of English varieties in the Australian higher education context to draw upon the three elements. Demographic questionnaire surveys and semi-structured interviews were employed to obtain data from fifteen Indonesian students studying in three universities in Melbourne, Australia. This paper's findings suggested that Indonesian students' expectations, perceptions, and strategies varied due to limited awareness regarding English varieties, culture gaps between Australia and Indonesia, and the prominent role of individual self-reflection. It is hoped that this paper may shed light on people’s understanding of the challenges, experiences, and the general wellbeing of international students who choose to study in Australia for their tertiary education.

Abstract

Stories in films are based on social realities in people's lives, embedding messages behind them. Each film is packed with unique characters, events and issues reflecting aspects of life from a particular perspective. One of which is the principles of black feminism in the main characters and to analyze how economic and racial factors influence the character's decision to confront existing injustices depicted in Gary Grey’s Set It Off (1996). The method used is a qualitative research method. Data collection is conducted to sort and understand the research topic by using data from scenes, dialogues, words, and phrases obtained from the film. The main theories used in this research are the Critical Race theory by Kimberlé Crenshaw and the Feminist Economics theory by Marilyn Waring. The findings reveal that the film encompasses principles of black feminism such as racial discrimination, sexism and social class which are portrayed by each main character in the film. This article also depicts the influence of economic and racial factors on the character's decisions in confronting existing injustices. Analyzing this film aims to trigger and enrich the analysis of how films depict the struggle of black women with various problems, especially racial and economic issues.

Abstract

This paper presents a study on the development of Indonesian English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teachers’ intercultural capability in an overseas study program and its impacts on classroom English Language teaching practices. By using narrative inquiry as a research methodology, this study draws on the stories of two Indonesian EFL teachers’ experiences of intercultural learning during the master's degree program overseas. Data were gathered through semi-structured individual interviews with Indonesian EFL teachers who have completed Master of Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) studies in Australia. Findings show that communication and cultural disequilibrium in an overseas study program plays a crucial role in the development of EFL teachers’ intercultural capability to enable them to develop their attributes from ethnocentrism to ethnorelativism. The findings also reveal that although the teachers become interculturally capable, the overseas study program does not necessarily contribute to their oral English skill development. As a further result, this study reveals that the development of the teachers’ intercultural capability affects their subsequent classroom English teaching practices in a way that they begin to employ dialogical communication and interaction by reflecting on their past experiences.

Abstract

Code-mixing has become a pervasive linguistic phenomenon in both spoken and digital communication, where speakers combine elements from different languages in a single discourse. In multilingual contexts such as Indonesia, code-mixing reflects speakers’ linguistic creativity and social identity. However, despite its increasing occurrence on social media, limited research has examined how code-mixing practices are shaped by situational factors and communicative intentions in online podcast interactions. This study aims to identify the types and factors of code-mixing based on Hoffman’s (1991) framework found in a YouTube video podcast on the Puella ID channel, focusing on the speaker Naura Ayu, an Indonesian actress. Employing a qualitative descriptive method following Sudaryanto’s (2015) analytical model, data were collected through systematic recording and transcription techniques from a single episode entitled Masa Lalu Naura yang Gak Kamu Tahu (aired on May 16, 2021). A total of 45 instances of code-mixing were identified and analyzed through categorization, verification, investigation, and conclusion stages. The findings indicate that intra-sentential code-mixing is the most dominant (31 instances), followed by intra-lexical mixing (4 instances) and pronunciation changes (3 instances), with six complex cases involving overlapping features. The analysis further reveals two main influencing factors: the discussion of particular topics and the speaker’s intention to emphasize ideas. These linguistic choices demonstrate how code-mixing functions not merely as a linguistic habit but as a deliberate communicative strategy to enhance rhetorical effect, express identity, and achieve discourse fluency.

Abstract

The phenomenon of code-switching has become a prominent form of linguistic innovation in the digital era, particularly on social media platforms like TikTok. This study aims to analyze the forms, functions, and factors influencing the use of code-switching in TikTok content uploaded by Indonesian creator Shazhaniaa. This study used a descriptive qualitative method, using 43 TikTok captions published between August and September 2025 as data sources. The data were analyzed based on Poplack's classification, which includes three main types of code-switching: intersentential, intrasentential, and tag-switching. The results indicate that the most dominant form of code-switching is intrasentential code-switching, reflecting the creator's linguistic flexibility and high bilingual skills. The primary functions of code-switching include emphasis, social identity, interactional, and affective functions. Furthermore, the use of code-switching was found to play a crucial role in constructing a digital persona, emphasizing an expressive communication style, and strengthening emotional connection with a bilingual audience. Factors influencing the use of code-switching include the socio-digital context, communicative goals, global cultural trends, and psychological factors. Overall, this research confirms that code-switching practices in digital content are not merely linguistic phenomena, but also representations of identity, communication strategies, and forms of cultural negotiation between locality and globality. This study is expected to provide theoretical contributions to the field of digital sociolinguistics and enrich understanding of the dynamics of bilingualism in modern Indonesian online spaces

Abstract

This study investigates the adaptability of place and manner of articulation principles in ventriloquism. It analyzes Jeff Dunham’s instructional techniques in his 11-part series How to Be a Ventriloquist, comparing them with traditional Indonesian methods documented in Marijoen’s Pintar Bermain Sulap Suara. The research identifies sound substitutions that maintain vocal distinctiveness without visible lip movement. The findings show that ventriloquism does not violate phonetic principles but demonstrates the flexibility of the human speech system through adaptive strategies. For example, bilabial stops /b/ and /p/ are replaced with alveolar stops /d/ and /t/, and labiodental fricatives /f/ and /v/ are substituted with interdental fricatives /θ/ and /ð/. A comparison of American and Indonesian techniques reveals cross-cultural convergence in these substitution strategies, supporting universal principles of speech adaptation under constraints. These findings contribute to articulatory phonetics by suggesting that acoustic-perceptual targets drive speech production, even when articulation is restricted. The study also has practical implications for speech therapy and second language acquisition, offering strategies for individuals with speech impairments or those learning challenging sounds. Further research is needed to quantify the effectiveness of these substitutions and explore optimal training methods for ventriloquism.
