Abstract

The research delves into integrating Indonesian local wisdom, specifically Pancasila, within synchronized virtual learning for English for Specific Purposes (ESP), aiming to unveil students' experiences and assess the impact on presentation skill development. Thirty students participated in a 13-session Business English presentation course, with Pancasila embedded in the virtual learning mode. Data encompassed closed questionnaires and pretest/post-test scores, analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively. The findings underscore the intervention's efficacy, notably enhancing students' comprehension of Pancasila's cultural significance and augmenting their presentation skills. Notably, improvements were observed in structure, delivery, and gesture, affirming the approach's success in deepening cultural understanding while refining practical abilities. Quantitative analysis revealed shifts in presentation skill scores pre and post-intervention. While medium scores declined, low and high score categories exhibited marked changes, indicative of substantial advancements in presentation proficiency across skill domains. In conclusion, merging Pancasila into synchronized virtual learning yielded notable benefits, aligning cultural content with skill-focused education. This integration not only enriched cultural appreciation but also honed crucial presentation skills. These outcomes accentuate the potential of targeted educational strategies in harmonizing cultural knowledge and skill development within higher education settings, fostering holistic learning experiences. The study advocates for continued exploration and implementation of similar integrative approaches, emphasizing their value in enhancing both cultural understanding and practical skill acquisition among students in specialized learning contexts.

Abstract

This article examines the forms of symbolic resistance posed by subaltern groups in Suzanne Collins' novel, The Ballad of the Songbirds and the Snakes (2020), through the application of Roland Barthes' semiotic theory and Gayatri Spivak's concept of subalternity. The narrative is set in the dystopian realm of Panem, characterized by a hierarchical system in which power is concentrated in the capital while the districts face systematic marginalization. The focus of this study is on how characters engage in symbolic acts of defiance through the mediums of song, performance, and myth. By employing a qualitative textual analysis, the research interprets significant symbols such as the mockingjay, snakes, and folk songs as complex sign systems that articulate resistance against hegemonic power. Each of these symbols is explored through denotative, connotative, and mythical lenses to reveal how they operate within the storyline to echo the genuine, albeit subtle, resistance efforts of marginalized groups. The findings indicate that, despite the constraints imposed by oppressive systems, subaltern individuals are capable of asserting their agency via coded language, emotional influence, and acts of performative subversion. By integrating semiotic analysis with postcolonial critique, this study illustrates the capacity of literature to serve as a platform for expressing subaltern challenges and resilience through symbolic expression.

Abstract

Learning English as a foreign language (EFL) requires a pedagogical approach that addresses not only cognitive development but also affective dimensions of learning. Creative poetry writing has been widely reported to enhance emotional engagement, reduce linguistic anxiety, and support students’ self-expression; however, the specific mechanisms through which poetry functions as an affective catalyst in EFL contexts remain underexplored. This study employs a systematic review with a qualitative approach, analyzing 21 Scopus-indexed journal articles that examine the affective impact of creative poetry writing in EFL learning. Study selection followed the PRISMA 2020 protocol, with quality appraisal conducted using the Critical Appraisal Skills Programme (CASP) and the Newcastle–Ottawa Scale. Data were analyzed thematically and synthesized through meta-qualitative techniques. The findings indicate that creative poetry writing positively influences three core affective dimensions in EFL learning: emotion regulation, self-expression, and reduction of linguistic anxiety. Instructional strategies such as prosing poetry, mindfulness-based activities, and technology-mediated platforms (e.g., WhatsApp) were found to enhance intrinsic motivation and learner confidence. Additionally, cultural background and language proficiency level emerged as key moderating variables affecting the effectiveness of poetry-based interventions. The interaction among affective variables generates positive feedback that supports holistic language learning. These findings suggest that poetry can function as an effective form of emotional pedagogy in EFL classrooms. Teachers and curriculum developers are encouraged to integrate poetry-based activities while considering learners’ cultural contexts and affective needs. Future research should develop longitudinal and cross-cultural instruments to assess affective outcomes more comprehensively.   Keywords: Creative poetry; affective pedagogy; EFL learning; Linguistic anxiety; Emotional expression

Abstract

This study examines the forms of resistance by female characters against patriarchal culture in the television series Sh?gun (2024). The study highlights how feudal Japanese society shaped gender roles, and how Lady Mariko, as the main female protagonist, negotiated her agency within a strong patriarchal system. Using Simone de Beauvoir's existentialist feminism theory and Sylvia Walby's concept of patriarchy, this research analyzes intellectualism, self-sacrifice, and strategic compliance as means of subverting social norms. Through qualitative methods involving in-depth understanding and character analysis, this study identifies that Mariko's form of resistance manifests through measured actions against social expectations, codes of honor, and gender-based power hierarchies. The findings show that instead of engaging in open rebellion, Mariko demonstrates agency through symbolic intelligence and self-sacrifice as a challenge to male dominance. This research also highlights how the series reconstructs historical narratives by placing women's inner strength and intelligence at the center of political and cultural stories. This study contributes to feminist criticism of popular media by showing that contemporary historical dramas can present representations of women's resistance within patriarchal systems and reimagine women's positions as active agents in male-dominated history. This research reinforces the ongoing discourse on gender, power, and representation in popular culture, emphasizing that agency within oppressive systems often emerges through subtle, complex, and contextually bound forms of resistance.
