Abstract

Language plays a central role in political communication, particularly through the use of metaphor, which enables leaders to simplify complex issues and influence public perception. In the digital era, cinematic metaphors drawn from popular films and television series have become increasingly visible in political discourse. This study examines cinematic metaphors in two of President Joko Widodo’s international speeches delivered in 2018. Using a descriptive qualitative design, the analysis applies Conceptual Metaphor Theory and Critical Metaphor Analysis to identify and interpret metaphors derived from Avengers: Infinity War and Game of Thrones. Fourteen cinematic metaphors were identified and categorized into four conceptual mappings: ECONOMIC CONFLICT IS WAR, LEADERS ARE HEROES, ECONOMIC UNCERTAINTY IS NATURAL DISASTER, and INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS ARE A GAME OF POWER. The findings show that these metaphors function not only as linguistic devices but also as rhetorical strategies that construct meaning, highlight global risks, and legitimize Jokowi’s call for cooperation. The study concludes that cinematic metaphors enhance accessibility and emotional resonance in political messaging by connecting global issues with familiar cultural narratives. The originality of this research lies in its focus on cinematic metaphors in Indonesian political speech—an area rarely examined in prior studies—and its integration of cognitive and rhetorical perspectives to explain how popular culture shapes contemporary political discourse.

Abstract

Grammarly is a platform that enables automated feedback, such as paraphrasing, improving sentence structure, and grammar checking, to help students produce more accurate writing. Despite its usefulness, concerns exist about its potential to cause overreliance, especially among long-term users. However, limited research has examined how upper-intermediate students behaviorally engage with Grammarly. This study addresses the gap by exploring students’ behavioral engagement and examining whether it serves as a helpful tool or a source of overreliance. Using qualitative methods with a narrative inquiry design to collect responses, data were collected through in-depth interviews with three purposely selected participants who used Grammarly in the long term and were enrolled in an Advanced Writing class from Mulawarman University. Thematic analysis was used to identify themes by coding and comparing participants' narratives. This study found that students accepted feedback on clarity, grammar, and spelling, but often rejected unclear feedback. Their revision strategies involved several other platforms. Despite its benefits, students felt unsure about submitting their assignments without Grammarly checking, which indicates overreliance. This study highlights the need for students and educators to critically use Grammarly as a platform or a helpful tool to foster teaching effectiveness and the development of students' independent writing skills.

Abstract

This study explored how Indonesian EFL students with different levels of short-form video (SFV) consumption perceived its impact on their English language proficiency. Using a qualitative phenomenological approach, three participants were selected based on their daily duration of English-language SFV usage. Data were collected through interviews, 7-day learning logs, and reflective journals. Findings indicated that all participants reported improvements in listening, speaking, and vocabulary, particularly through repeated exposure to authentic speech and mimicry. However, reading and writing development remained limited. Crucially, the study found that the quality of engagement—such as intentional mimicry, vocabulary tracking, and content curation—was more influential than the amount of time spent watching. Participants who used SFVs strategically experienced greater gains than those who consumed them passively. Additionally, attention span and distraction emerged as factors affecting learning depth, especially in high-exposure contexts. The study concluded that SFVs can support informal language learning when used purposefully and in moderation.

Abstract

This study investigates the integration of technology in the English as a Foreign Language (EFL) assessment process at a Vocational High School in Samarinda. Although the role of technology in education is increasing, its application in EFL assessment is still minimal in this context. Using a qualitative approach, data were collected through interviews involving EFL teachers. There are three research questions underlying this study, the first is what are technology tools used in the EFL assessment process in a Vocational High School in Samarinda? the second is How is the technology used by the English Teachers of a Vocational High School in Samarinda? and the last is, What are the challenges in using technology for the EFL assessment process? This study reveals that English teachers at a Vocational High School in Samarinda have integrated various technological tools in EFL assessment, especially post-distance learning due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Tools such as Google Forms, Duolingo, Google Classroom, Quizizz, and Kahoot are widely used although most teachers have only acquired these skills through self-learning. The stages carried out by teachers in using digital technology tools in the assessment process are first preparation and drafting of online exam questions, second online assessment strategies and methods, third fraud monitoring and prevention, and finally exam materials and topics. The main challenges faced include limited internet access, unstable Wi-Fi networks in schools, and students' low digital literacy on the platforms used. Nevertheless, teachers are adapting and working towards effective assessment.

Abstract

COVID-19 brings a deep impact on the field of education, especially by pushing the wide use of digital technology in learning. When face-to-face learning returned, it became important to see whether teachers’ experiences with technology during the pandemic affected their views and decisions about using technology after the pandemic. Many studies have looked at teachers’ views during and after the pandemic, but only a few have explored how English teachers view these experiences and how it influenced their decisions to keep or change their use of technology especially in schools located outside urban centers or in areas with limited resources. This research focused on exploring the views of English teachers on using digital technology during and after the COVID-19 pandemic at a semi-rural public Junior High School in East Kalimantan. This study used a descriptive qualitative method with in-depth interviews for data collection. The results showed that before the pandemic, most teachers only used technology as a supporting tool. After the pandemic ended and learning returned to the classroom, teachers tend to continue the use of technology because they found it helpful and had become accustomed to it, although the use of technology after pandemic less frequent compared to during the pandemic.

Abstract

The differences between American and British English have drawn more attention in the continually changing field of English language instruction. This study aimed to investigate students' preferences regarding the distinctions between British and American English in terms of spelling and lexical usage. Conducted using a quantitative approach, the research involved administering a vocabulary test to 129 ninth-grade students in a private junior high school in Bontang. The findings indicated a prevalent inclination towards American English, with a majority of students showing a preference for American English spellings and terminologies over British English counterparts. Specifically, the data revealed that American English was mostly favored in 63.4% of the cases analyzed, highlighting the significant influence of American English on the linguistic choices of students. These results contribute to a better understanding of how language variations impact language preferences among students, shedding light on the dominance of American English in contemporary educational settings.
