This research is conducted by concerns about the gap in the competence of graduates with the demands of the industrial world. On the one hand, the industrial world often complains about the competencies of university graduates which are often not in line with expectations, while on the other hand students often do not understand what competencies they should have so that they are in line with industry expectations. In this regard, this research was conducted to strengthen the capacity of universities, especially the UNNES English Literature Study Program to support the Independent Learning - Independent Campus Program (Merdeka Belajar-Kampus Merdeka-MBKM) in terms of internships through the strategy of identifying industrial preferences based on student interests. The objectives of this study are (1) to explain the link and match relationship between study programs and industry, (2) to develop a collaborative design system for study programs and industry, (3) to develop strategies for achieving innovative internship designs that are in line with the needs of students and industry. This study used Research and Development (R&D) method. The instrument used was a questionnaire. The data collection technique was done by giving a questionnaire to the research participants. Researchers distributed questionnaires for students to gain data on student preferences/interests in choosing internship locations, as well as distributing questionnaires for industries that were included in the list of student preferences. In addition, researchers conducted forum group discussion (FGD) to identify the competencies of graduates expected by the industry. This study involved 108 undergraduate students of the 2019 and 2018 batch in the English Literature Study Program at Universitas Negeri Semarang and 21 respondents from industrial world business (DUDI-Dunia Usaha Dunia Industri) partners that become the student internship preferences. The results of this study indicate that there is a data mapping of 4 major fields of work that are student preferences, namely tourism, offices, translation, and journalism. The prototype for the collaborative design of industrial and study program is achieved through several activities, including FGD that has been carried out, the internship fair and internship corner which will be implemented next year. Meanwhile, the strategy for achieving innovative internship designs is achieved in two ways, namely the creation of an Independent Learning-Independent Campus-based guide book and a partner profile book.

In recent years, the growth of digital platforms has significantly affected the linguistic practices of the youth, especially in multilingual societies. An important linguistic phenomenon that has emerged in this context is the frequent use of code-switching and code-mixing, especially by online content creators. While many studies have examined these phenomena in everyday conversation and educational contexts, limited focus has been given to their application in educational and entertainment content on YouTube. This study aims to fill the gap by analyzing the types, functions, and factors influencing code-switching and code-mixing in ten selected episodes of the ‘Historytelling’ segment by Nessie Judge, a well-known Indonesian YouTuber. A descriptive qualitative method was employed, using Poplack's (1980) and Muysken's (2000) typologies to classify linguistic features, while communicative functions and motivational factors were interpreted using Marasigan's (1983) and Hoffman's (1991) frameworks. The results showed that inter-sentential switching and insertion mixing are the most frequently used types, which serve certain communicative purposes such as message qualification, addressee specification, and facility of expression. The analysis also showed that the most important influencing factor was talking about particular topic, especially when English terms are preferred due to historical accuracy. Nessie's language choices appear consciously and audience-oriented, reflecting digital youth culture and the pedagogical potential of bilingual content. This research concludes that Nessie Judge's strategic bilingualism increases the accessibility, engagement, and educational value of content. The implications suggest that code-switching and code-mixing, when used purposefully, can be powerful tools in digital pedagogy and sociolinguistic engagement, especially for Gen Z audiences that navigate multilingual realities in online spaces.

This research examines the influence of first language (L1) interference on the speaking ability of Indonesian EFL learners at the higher education level, focusing on English Education students. Using a mixed method approach, data were gathered through questionnaires (closed-ended and open-ended) and semi-structured interviews with intermediate-level learners in English. The findings identify two dominant forms of L1 interference: grammatical and phonological. Grammatical interference involves the transfer of Indonesian sentence structures and tense usage into English, while phonological interference appears in the mispronunciation of unfamiliar English sounds. Four key factors contribute to this interference: linguistic background, proficiency level, psychological barriers, and learning strategies. The interference significantly hinders both accuracy and fluency, often due to mental translation habits, lack of confidence, and overreliance on grammar-based instruction. The study concludes that L1 interference is a complex issue requiring communicative, confidence-oriented teaching methods and greater exposure to authentic English use. This insight offers practical implications such as the implementation of short lessons that give EFL students space to study or practice without pressure so that they can improve their English as a foreign language skill.

Continued improvements in globalization and modern-day developments have also led to an increase in technology use within education. The Internet offers an array of information and resources which can be accessed effortlessly. With the emergence of video sharing platforms like YouTube, there is now an unprecedented and innovative method of learning. Both teachers and students are now able to enhance their English speaking skills through interesting and authentic multimedia which greatly improves comprehension. The aim of this study is to explore the issues that come with YouTube integration in education and examine the students’ and teachers’ attitudes concerning its use for learning activities geared towards fluency and pronunciation, as well as the enhancement of their skills. This research employs qualitative descriptive methods. Open-ended questionnaires were given to students in an Indonesian university to collect in-depth information about language learning and the use of YouTube in classes. In addition, the interviews were conducted to gain in-depth insights and experiences concerning the subject matter. The study concluded that although there were some YouTube technical issues, students maintained a positive attitude towards the use of YouTube, and speaking advanced fluency and pronunciation skills greatly improved. Furthermore, this research recommends that YouTube be used as an instructional medium supervised by the teacher, to enhance the learning process to be more interesting, enjoyable, and productive.

This study discusses the role of English as a foreign language in emotional regulation by an Indonesian multilingual writer in her private digital writing. Whereas most works on multilingual emotional expression focus on translanguaging, identity performance, or public discourse, this study analyzes a blog post written entirely in English but never published. In such cases, language choice cannot be explained with reference to audience expectations or self presentation. Drawing upon Pavlenko's (2006) notion of emotional distancing and supported by related research in affect labeling and expressive writing, this paper will try to analyze how the writer uses the English language to work out their intense emotional experiences, especially related to negative feelings, and the reasons they choose English, which is a foreign language, to express her negative feelings. The data comes from an unpublished blog post called Medium, combined with a semi structured interview with its author, who is a 22 year old university student. Thematic analysis was applied in mapping patterns of emotional reasoning and language beliefs. Results indicate that the writer severely expresses so much self criticism, loss, and bitter acceptance using strong negative words. This study also finds that English gives the writer psychological distance and cognitive control over emotions and is therefore perceived as less saturated with emotion compared to Indonesian. Thus, this writer can express vulnerable thoughts in English without getting too consumed by emotions, though English is still a foreign language to her compared to Bahasa Indonesia. The choice of English by this writer is driven inwardly by an internal need for emotional buffering and clarity rather than any consideration of public visibility or identity construction. This study offers a contribution to emotional sociolinguistics by bringing into focus the less focused function of monolingual foreign language usage in private writing. It underscores how that very particular language, even when not applied to public discourse, can become for multilinguals an individual affective strategy enabling them to write out their distress with more emotional strength.

MOBA matches leave players little time to conjugate instructions, although team talk must still do both tactical and interpersonal work. This qualitative case study examined how 15 bilingual or multilingual Indonesian players drew on Indonesian, English, and regional-language resources while playing Mobile Legends: Bang Bang and Honor of Kings. The data comprised participant observation, recordings of naturally occurring voice communication, field notes, and brief semi-structured interviews. Three reoccurring applications of translanguaging were found via an iterative thematic analysis. Players used Indonesian commands and common English game phrases to coordinate action swiftly. They utilised slang, compliments and certain terms from regional languages to establish connection. They employed comfort, apologies and redirection to de-escalate tension following errors or disputes. In the observed matches, mixed-language utterances were therefore tied to specific moments and communicative needs, rather than appearing as arbitrary switches between named languages. MOBA play is presented as a platform that reports on multilingual digital interaction and the context-sensitive use of English in out-of-school settings.
