Abstract

This paper reports on an investigation into the reading path patterns in a children’s picture book. The primary investigation focused on the semiotic resources involved in the construction of meanings in picture books, i.e. language and image elements. These semiotic resources provide insights into the unfolding of the storylines in the observed picture book. In order to detail the roles of these resources, a picture book entitled Tacky the Penguin (Lester, 1988) was selected and examined by employing two methods: Kress and Van Leeuwen’s (1996, 2006) structure of information value and Royce’s (1998) Intersemiotic Complementarity. The results of the analysis suggest that the whole picture book is built from a page-by-page reading path that allows for a linear and non-linear reading path. While each page presents a different layout of information value, the general pattern leads to a linear reading path from the beginning up to the end of the picture book. The mapping of the reading path is reinforced by the interrelated meanings between verbal and visual resources on the page. Drawing on the analysis results, this paper offers the delve into the flow of information from the language and image resources in the picture books that can be used to inform practical use of picture books in EFL classrooms.

Abstract

The use of YouTube resources as learning materials becomes increased in English language teaching (ELT), especially when implementing the content-based instruction (CBI) approach. In addition to its importance during the recent global restriction caused by the Corona Virus Disease (COVID-19), one of the benefits of using YouTube is perceived to provide authentic learning, which can improve the student learning experience, hence prepare graduates in the future career. While several studies have shown the benefits of using videos in ELT classrooms, this study argues that consideration for suitability and relevance of the visual materials should include the contained meaning potentials; experiential, interpersonal, and textual aspects. The study analyzed three videos used as teaching and learning materials in a Maritime English course at a vocational university where the research was conducted. Foregrounded by SFL theories, the analysis of the videos utilized Multimodal Video Analysis (MMA) Software to present a selection process of teaching and learning materials in the form of YouTube videos. Findings show the specifics of the meaning potentials in the videos used for the teaching and learning materials of the Maritime English course. The results also highlight the positive qualities and drawbacks identified in the videos. Additionally, the findings of the study provide guidelines for selecting video materials suitable and relevant to the Maritime English course in vocational higher education in Indonesia.

Abstract

This research paper aims to identify multilingualism and language choice by looking at types of code-switching and code-mixing techniques practiced by Indonesian K-Pop fans on Twitter. Also, it examines the rationales and functions of such practice, especially as it is done in Indonesian context. Two data collection methods are used in this research. First, data were taken from several Indonesian K-pop fanbase accounts on Twitter from September 2020 to May 2021. Additionally, we also obtained data through an open-ended questionnaire participated by Indonesian K-pop fans. Our research shows that Indonesian K-Pop fans frequently implement code-switching and code-mixing techniques by combining Indonesian, English, Korean, and Japanese into their tweets. Words, phrases, and clauses from multiple languages are used. The results also show that fans practice code- switching and code-mixing in order to project a more globalized impression, create a friendly conversation, synchronize perceptions, boost language skills, and form identity.

Abstract

Students at the tertiary education level need the information to complete their assignments at the university. Information retrieval behavior among university students is interesting to study because it shows the ability of search techniques and the diversity of information needed. The researcher has extensively researched information-seeking behavior at this level of education. However, more needs to be explicitly performed on the information retrieval process conducted by engineering students. The purpose of the present study was to reveal engineering students' information retrieval behavior process when using information sources from online database websites through analysis the types of online database websites the students used as primary information sources, why the students used these websites, and identified the challenges in information seeking using online database websites. For this study, data were collected using an internet-based questionnaire distributed among students at the Department of Urban and Regional Planning, ITS. The study results indicated that engineering students used search engines as the primary information source due to their richness and flexibility. In this case, we have found additional results regarding the patterns of presentation and the interactivity necessary to optimize the function of online database websites. Also, the study has found the challenges faced by students in retrieving information and how they overcome the situation by using different keywords.

Abstract

Comic books are taking a new turn as a medium of learning. The combination of modes of visual and verbal in comics is a rich source of meanings. They are arguably one of the contributors to why comic books are considered as a form of reading materials for the purpose of language learning. With this regard, the present study is looking into a comic book series targeted for young readers, entitled ‘Little Dim Sum Warriors’. The overall aim of the study is to comprehend how the readers are likely to learn language with the comic. More specifically, the study addresses the details of the verbal-visual relation in LDSW and the prediction on how readers might be able to perceive the meaning-making process in LDSW. In doing so, the study analyzes the first two installments of the series in terms of the relationships between the verbal texts and visual images in terms of the ideational meanings. Data analysis is facilitated primarily using Royce’s (1998) framework of ideational Intersemiotic Complementarity to map out and categorize any instances of visual-verbal relation in the data in terms of the instances of repetition, synonymy, antonymy, hyponymy, meronymy, and collocation. Through the analysis, the study found that the verbal-visual relations mostly fall into the categories of repetition and collocation, which further indicate that the repeated meaning in both verbal and visual aspects are found effective in learning language. Other relations, however, such as those that appeared as anonymy or synonymy, might require the attendance of teachers or parents to create a discussion with the young readers regarding the meaning-making process. The results of the study also implied some hints on how reading activities between parents and children may be conducted.

Abstract

Writing is one of the fundamental English skills that students must master, yet it is also one of the most challenging. Students often struggle to express their ideas in written form and are unsure of what to write. To write effectively, students need a clear idea or inspiration, and one way to generate ideas is through pictures. Pictures can help center students' attention on the content, providing visual stimuli that inspire imagination and creativity. Specifically, pictures on Instagram can serve as valuable tools for students, allowing them to focus their attention and build their ideas. This research explores the use of Instagram as a tool for teaching report text writing in senior high school. The subjects were tenth-grade students of SMAN 4 Malang. The researcher employed a descriptive qualitative method, documenting the teaching and learning process and gathering students' responses through questionnaires. The results indicated that teaching report text writing using Instagram involved six steps: introducing the concept and purpose of report text writing, selecting appropriate pictures on Instagram, discussing and analyzing the pictures to generate ideas, guiding students in organizing their ideas, having students write their report texts, and reviewing and providing feedback. An impressive 85.7 percent of students agreed that Instagram should be used as a tool for learning writing. This structured approach made the writing process more engaging and interactive, significantly enhancing students' ability to generate and organize ideas, ultimately improving their writing skills. The positive response from the majority of students highlights the effectiveness and potential of using social media platforms like Instagram as innovative tools in educational settings.

Abstract

Addressing the issues and challenges of inclusivity and disability content in Indonesian EFL textbooks requires a collaborative effort and commitment among textbook authors, publishers, educators, policymakers, and disability advocates to provide equitable learning opportunities for all students. The first step that can be taken to achieve those goals is evaluating the material of the EFL textbook related to inclusivity and disability as curriculum content in Indonesia. Therefore, this research aimed to identify and critically analyze disability as curriculum content in English as a foreign language (EFL) textbooks used in Indonesia. This research was conducted using a qualitative approach that focuses on content analysis. The data sources in this research are three EFL textbooks entitled “English for Nusantara” published by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology of Indonesia and intended for junior high school (VII, VIII, IX grade) students in Indonesia. The findings of this research show that inclusivity and disability-related content are included in the EFL textbook by being represented in images and text. The textbook represents disability in several categories: gender, age, participation, relations, physical activities, and type of disability. Even though the findings show that the textbook "English for Nusantara" has representation for disability, the amount of representation is limited. In conclusion, the research highlights the need for systemic changes in the way disability is represented in educational materials, which could have a profound impact on the inclusivity of educational environments and the broader social integration of people with disabilities.
