Abstract

The low literacy and numeracy competence of Indonesian students is a serious concern, as reflected in the 2022 PISA score, which is still below the international average. Learning quality is a key factor suspected to significantly influence the development of these two basic competencies. This study aims to systematically analyze the influence of learning quality on improving literacy and numeracy competencies based on empirical literature studies. The research uses the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach with the PRISMA protocol. Literature searches were conducted on indexed databases (Scopus, ERIC, SINTA, Google Scholar) with keywords related to learning quality, literacy, and numeracy. Of the 896 initial articles, 38 met the inclusion criteria for further analysis. The analysis shows that the quality of learning has a significant influence on literacy and numeracy competence through various dimensions: (1) the quality of teacher-student interaction and relational-intentional pedagogy; (2) teachers' competence in compiling HOTS and AKM-based questions; (3) the implementation of the independent curriculum and contextual approach; (4) the use of innovative technology and learning media; (5) learning environment at home and school; and (6) teacher training and professional development. Optimizing learning quality through a holistic approach that includes improving teachers' pedagogic competence, strengthening the literacy-numeracy-based curriculum, and integrating technology has proven effective in improving students' literacy and numeracy competencies. This study recommends sustainable policies for teacher professional development and improvement of learning infrastructure.

Abstract

This article examines the conceptual metaphors employed in the Indonesian novel Bumi Manusia and its German translation, Garten der Menschheit, with a focus on how metaphorical expressions embody cultural cognition and how translation strategies reshape these metaphors across languages. Sixty-four conceptual metaphor was analysed in terms of their cognitive structure, type, cultural grounding, and translation technique. Drawing on Conceptual Metaphor Theory (CMT) and a comparative cultural-linguistic perspective, the study identifies dominant metaphorical domains including emotion, human character, nature and landscape, modernity, social hierarchy, physical movement, and embodiment. The analysis demonstrates how metaphors are adapted to align with the linguistic and cultural context of German-speaking readers, ensuring that the translated text preserves the depth and nuance of the original. The findings provide a qualitative mapping of metaphorical conceptualizations in both languages and offer insights into the cognitive and cultural processes involved in metaphor translation. In addition, the study outlines pedagogical implications for literary studies, intercultural competence, and metaphor awareness in multilingual classrooms.

Abstract

Using conceptual metaphors in political speeches can arguably be powerful because speakers need to deliver both the message and the ideological effect to attract the audience’s attention. The study aims to examine the use of metaphors in the first political speech delivered by President Prabowo Subianto during the Plenary Session of the People’s Consultative Assembly of the Republic of Indonesia on October 20, 2024. This qualitative study draws on Critical Discourse Analysis and Conceptual Metaphor Theory. The speech video and its transcript posted on the KOMPAS.TV YouTube channel were chosen as data sources. Four domains of metaphor and four cases of target domain conceptualization were found. These metaphors were conceptualized using several source domains, the most frequent of which is war and physical struggle applied to domestic issues. The findings also suggest that the military characteristics strongly attached to Prabowo Subianto did not produce an aggressive or confrontational rhetorical style. Instead, the source domain of "War" was subtly shifted into metaphors of domestic struggle, economic defense, and bureaucratic cleansing. Results show that the speaker seems to have used the source domains carefully, especially in the case of images containing social and financial elements. This research also demonstrates that the metaphors function as a political communication tool to simplify complex policy ideas into an emergency logic easily understood by the public.

Abstract

This study aims to identify and analyze the use of colloquial language on the YouTube channel *Kok Bisa?* from a sociolinguistic perspective. The data were taken from videos in the playlist *Taman Edukasi: Learning Science So Fun!*. This research employed a descriptive methodological approach and a theoretical framework based on Charles A. Ferguson’s Diglossia theory and Howard Giles’ Communication Accommodation Theory (CAT). Data were collected using the Free Listening Engagement (SBLC) and note-taking techniques, then analyzed through the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldana, consisting of data collection, reduction, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal that the educational videos apply diglossia and communication accommodation strategies to improve comprehension and establish familiarity with viewers. The identified colloquial forms include single words, clipped words, vowel changes, and affixation. The use of colloquial language effectively simplifies complex scientific concepts, making them more accessible and engaging for students. This effectiveness is supported by positive responses from viewers in the YouTube comment section. The study contributes practical insights for educators and content creators in designing educational videos that communicate learning materials more effectively through appropriate sociolinguistic strategies.

Abstract

This study aims to describe and compare the forms of bodily transformation, the social function of metamorphosis, and the representation of family alienation as a structure of power in Eka Kurniawan's novel Cantik Itu Luka and Franz Kafka's Metamorphosis. Both novels employ grotesque and surreal elements to critique different power systems: Kafka critiques capitalism and bureaucracy in early 20th-century European modern society, while Kurniawan critiques patriarchy and colonialism in the postcolonial Indonesian context. Using a qualitative descriptive-comparative method with an intertextual approach, this study analyzed primary data in the form of quotations from both novels and secondary data from relevant scholarly articles. The analytical techniques included close reading, comparative matrices, and critical analysis employing three theoretical frameworks: deconstruction, postcolonial feminism, and existentialist absurdism. The findings reveal that: (1) the physical forms of transformation differ between the two novels but are functionally similar as markers of lost social status; (2) the social function of metamorphosis in Kafka serves as a critique of capitalism that reduces human beings to their economic productivity, while in Kurniawan it critiques patriarchy and colonialism that commodify women's bodies; (3) family in both novels is represented not as a place of protection but as an extension of repressive power systems. This research contributes to the development of comparative literature studies by offering an integrative model combining three theoretical frameworks.

Abstract

Purpose – This study examines how workload and work-life balance affect teacher performance. Due to these limitations, it is difficult to draw general conclusions about the strength of the relationships among the variables under study. The purpose of this study is to examine in greater depth how workload and work-life balance affect teacher performance by drawing on the findings of previous empirical studies. Method – The study method used meta-analysis to analyze the effects of workload and work-life balance on teacher performance. A systematic search through the DOAJ and Google Scholar databases was conducted. After selection using the PRISMA protocol and inclusion criteria, 14 studies were obtained, consisting of 7 studies on the effect of workload on teacher performance and 7 studies on the effect of work-life balance on teacher performance. A random-effects meta-analysis was performed using JASP and effect sizes were retrieved as correlation coefficients (r). Findings – The results of the meta-analysis indicate that the workload variable has a positive and significant relationship with teacher performance. Work-life balance variable has a positive and significant relationship with teacher performance. These findings underscore the importance of ensuring that teachers’ workloads are distributed proportionally. Teachers’ work-life balance must also be carefully considered in relation to their rights and responsibilities in order to encourage improved teacher performance and thereby continue to enhance the quality of education.

Abstract

Speaking anxiety is a major affective barrier to oral performance in foreign language learning, while linguistic intelligence provides cognitive resources for vocabulary use, language organization, and verbal communication. Previous reviews have largely examined speaking anxiety separately, with limited attention to its interaction with linguistic intelligence across learning contexts. Guided by Gardner’s Multiple Intelligences framework and an affective perspective on foreign language anxiety, this study systematically synthesizes evidence on their relationship. Following PRISMA 2020, 35 studies published between 2020 and 2025 were selected from international databases. Eligible studies addressed foreign language learning and examined linguistic intelligence or competence, speaking anxiety, or related cognitive-affective factors. Methodological quality was appraised using the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool (MMAT) Version 2018. Study selection and thematic coding were conducted by a single reviewer, and themes were developed through comparison and grouping of recurring findings. The synthesis indicates that stronger linguistic competence generally supports communicative readiness and lower speaking anxiety, although the relationship is context-dependent. Three broader conditions emerged: learner-affective factors, instructional-social conditions, and technology-supported practice. This review offers an integrative conceptual synthesis in which linguistic intelligence supports cognitive readiness for speaking, while affective and contextual conditions influence how effectively these resources are translated into speaking performance, rather than functioning as independent determinants of oral communication outcomes.
