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

The development of journalism is not only related to the media changing from paper to digital. However, the high demand for online news production and the speed of publication also influence the changes in online news headlines. This research discusses the changes in online news headlines in 2013 and 2023. This study employed qualitative-quantitative methodology. The uninvolved conversation observation technique was applied in collecting the data, while the distributional and identity methods were used to analyze the data. The data source was obtained from Detik.com during the first weeks of 2013 and 2023. The theory used was Van Dijk's critical discourse theory. The results demonstrated that the changes in news headlines in 2013 and 2023 included differences in the number of words, type of sentence, syntactic patterns, use of affixations, use of prepositions, use of punctuation, negation, mention of names, presence of interjections, presence of slang words, and use of onomatopoeic.

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.
