Abstract

Teachers have a vital role in facilitating students' learning journeys. Therefore, they must carefully select and employ effective techniques during their instructional sessions. Among these techniques, questioning stands out as a particularly influential method. This study focuses on exploring the utilization of questioning strategies by English teachers in the context of EFL (English as a Foreign Language) classroom interactions within Vocational High Schools. The research adopts a case study approach, centering around one EFL teacher as the participant. Data collection involved interviews and observations, while Miles and Huberman's qualitative data analysis framework was applied for data interpretation. The findings of this study indicate that, among the four question types outlined in Wangru's (2016), the teacher predominantly employs two strategies during classroom interactions: prompting and repeating. In contrast, probing and redirecting strategies are used less frequently. The questions posed by the teacher cover a range of topics, including material-related inquiries and those aimed at eliciting student responses. Consequently, students engage actively in the learning process, leading to skill enhancement. In conclusion, this research demonstrates that effective employment of questioning strategies contributes to an interactive learning environment.

Abstract

Although studies on the issue of digital storytelling (DST) have been extensively conducted, the adoption of digital storytelling to promote environmental literacy is rarely reported in the literature. This study aims to explore Indonesian young EFL learners’ experiences in the creation of digital storytelling to foster their environmental literacy. Framed in a narrative case study, four young EFL learners, aged 8-12 years old, were recruited to participate. Data were garnered through semi-structured interviews. The data were analyzed employing thematic analysis, i.e., listening to talking data, transcribing interview data, sorting out vignettes, interpreting data, and building data credibility. Study findings showcase that the adoption of DST could encourage young EFL learners’ interest in learning environmental literacy to protect their environment. Furthermore, learning environmental literacy through DST engaged young EFL learners more actively in learning English. The empirical evidence also demonstrates the use of DST creation engaged young EFL learners in learning English, and environmental literacy and helped young EFL learners preserve their environment.

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine how gender equality and inequality are represented in the film of Mulan (2020), a film which is based on the Chinese legend of Hua Mulan. The researchers aimed to explore the potential impact of the film's messages on viewers' cognitive and emotional levels, as it portrays the female protagonist as an active participant in the story and carries a strong feminist message. Unlike some other films, Mulan is not objectified or depicted as a source of eroticism, but rather as a proactive character fighting for fairness. To achieve the objective, the study employed a descriptive qualitative method and drew on Kate Millet's feminist theory. This theoretical framework was used to analyze and uncover the film's messages regarding gender equality. The researchers followed a four-step process involving data identification, classification, analysis, and drawing conclusions. Through their analysis, the study revealed a feminist movement that emerges from the main character and those around her, providing support for her pursuit of gender equality. The film also conveys valuable moral values related to gender equality and feminism, which can be applied in real-life contexts. The researchers anticipate that the findings of this study will contribute empirical evidence of gender equality and inequality practices depicted in the film.

Abstract

This study investigates students’ reflections on their silence and minimal participation in classroom discourse. The research aims to understand why students tend to stay silent or participate minimally during classroom interactions. Using a qualitative approach, the study involves university students as participants, with data collected through simple reflective interviews. The findings show that students’ silence is influenced by several factors, such as lack of confidence, fear of making mistakes, and limited language ability. Some students also report that classroom atmosphere and teaching style affect their willingness to speak. Through reflection, students become more aware of their passive behaviour and express a desire to participate more actively. Keywords: Student Silence, Student participation, Classroom Discourse, English Learning, Classroom Interaction.

Abstract

This study explores the song The Messenger by Linkin Park through the lens of Halliday's Language Metafunction theory, aiming to uncover its underlying ideology and emotional messages. Utilizing qualitative and descriptive research methods, the analysis focuses on the song's lyrics, examining their Ideational, Interpersonal, and Textual meanings. The results highlight the prominence of specific language processes, including Mental, Material, and Relational, which collectively convey powerful themes of love, hope, and resilience. The Ideational metafunction reveals how the song portrays love as a vital force in overcoming life's adversities, while the Interpersonal metafunction demonstrates how empathetic and supportive language fosters a connection between the singer and the audience. Additionally, the Textual metafunction underscores the structured and cohesive organization of the lyrics, amplifying their emotional impact. The study concludes that The Messenger embodies an ideology that positions love as a source of emotional empowerment and solidarity, providing listeners with comfort and motivation during challenging times. This research contributes to understanding how music serves as a cultural and linguistic artifact that facilitates shared emotional experiences and reinforces resilience.

Abstract

This study examines discussions of mental health through a corpus-based approach using Voyant Tools. The analysis focuses on a selected journal article titled “From Mental Health Crisis to Existential Human Suffering: The Role of Self-Transcendence in Contemporary Mindfulness.” The purpose of this study is to identify frequently occurring words and explain how these words reflect discussions of mental health. Qualitative corpus-linguistic methods were applied to analyze word frequency and linguistic patterns. Voyant Tools was used to generate frequency data and identify recurring words in the text. This analysis focused on nine keywords, including self, mindfulness, transcendence, mental, Buddha, student, existential, health, and medical. This study shows that the word “self” appears most frequently, indicating a strong emphasis on individual experience and self-awareness. The presence of “mindfulness” and “transcendence” reflects psychological and spiritual aspects. The terms “mental,” “health,” and “medical” indicate a clinical perspective. The word “students” highlights the connection between mental health and the educational context. The results of this study indicate that discussions of mental health are shaped by individual, psychological, spiritual, and medical perspectives. Voyant Tools provides a systematic approach to identifying linguistic patterns and supports the process of in-depth understanding in academic texts. This study makes a significant contribution to the field of corpus linguistics by demonstrating how digital tools can assist in analyzing discussions of mental health.
