Abstract

This study examines language choice in the film The Architecture of Love by analyzing instances of code-switching and code-mixing in the characters’ dialogue. The research aims to identify the structural types of bilingual language use and to explore the communicative functions they serve in character interaction. Employing a qualitative descriptive design with qualitative content analysis, the study analyzes 92 bilingual utterances found in the film. The findings indicate that code-mixing occurs more frequently than code-switching, with insertion emerging as the most dominant type. These bilingual practices are distributed across various interactional contexts, including professional or intellectual discussions, emotional exchanges, informal conversations, and cultural or artistic discourse. Furthermore, code-switching and code-mixing function as strategic linguistic resources that enable characters to negotiate meaning, express interpersonal relationships, and respond to situational demands. Overall, the study demonstrates that language choice in cinematic dialogue reflects interactional context and communicative purposes, highlighting the role of bilingual practices in shaping identity and social relations in film discourse

Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of the Know–What–Learned (KWL) strategy through Instagram photo captions in improving students' recount writing skills and to examine students' responses to the implementation of the strategy. A quantitative comparative research design was employed involving 70 tenth-grade students from a public senior high school in West Bandung, Indonesia, selected through purposive sampling. The participants were divided into two groups: one was taught using the KWL strategy through Instagram photo captions, while the other received instruction using the conventional KWL strategy. Data were collected through pre-tests, post-tests, and questionnaires and analyzed using normalized gain analysis and an independent-samples t-test. The findings revealed that both groups improved their recount writing skills. The experimental group improved from a mean pre-test score of 48.17 to 64.11, whereas the conventional KWL group improved from 50.06 to 69.80. The normalized gain analysis indicated a significant difference between the two groups (p = 0.019), with the conventional KWL strategy producing greater improvement. Questionnaire results showed that 51.4% of students expressed moderately positive responses toward the use of the KWL strategy through Instagram photo captions. Overall, both approaches improved students' recount writing skills, although the conventional KWL strategy was more effective.
