Abstract

This study investigates how real-life conversations with international tourists enhance the speaking competence of English for Tour Guide students in Banyuwangi. The project was designed to provide authentic language develop both linguistic and intercultural competence. Qualitative descriptive as approach and data were collected through observations and students’ reflective reports. The findings indicate that while students displayed enthusiasm, hospitality, and the ability to initiate interactions, they faced significant challenges in vocabulary, pronunciation, and translating cultural concepts into meaningful English explanations. Literal translations often reduced the symbolic value of rituals such as Gandrung Sewu and Tumpengan, leading to incomplete communication. Psychological barriers, including nervousness and fear of making mistakes, also emerged, although these decreased once interactions began. Non-verbal strategies such as gestures and visual aids supported communication but required stronger verbal elaboration. Overall, the study suggests that authentic exposure provides powerful opportunities for building communicative confidence and resilience, yet students need structured preparation to succeed in unpredictable intercultural encounters. By combining linguistic, intercultural, and psychological readiness, students can perform more effectively as cultural mediators and ambassadors of Banyuwangi in global tourism contexts.

Abstract

This study critically examines the presence and representation of neoliberal discourse in a Vocational High School English textbook used in Indonesia. Drawing on Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA), the research uncovers how the textbook's language, content, and imagery reflect and perpetuate neoliberal ideologies, including individualism, competitiveness, and market-driven values. The researchers collected the data from an English textbook of a vocational high school in Indonesia, representing the neoliberal aspect. By analyzing textual and visual elements, this study reveals how such ideologies subtly shape students' perceptions of success, identity, and societal roles beyond language learning objectives. The findings demonstrate that the textbook serves as a tool for language acquisition and a medium for ideological dissemination, promoting values aligned with global neoliberal norms. This research highlights the importance of critically evaluating educational materials to ensure they align with the holistic development of students and local cultural contexts. We recommend that curriculum developers, policymakers, and educators foster a more balanced and contextually relevant approach to English language education.

Abstract

Postpartum depression is a serious psychological disorder experienced by some mothers after giving birth and has the potential to disrupt family harmony. This study aims to analyze the effect of postpartum depression on family harmony and explore prevention efforts in the context of Islamic family law. This study employs a qualitative approach using a case study method involving six postpartum mothers and one clinical psychologist as expert informants. Data collection techniques include literature review and in-depth interviews. The results indicate that postpartum depression is triggered by insufficient mental preparedness, limited social support, and cultural and family environmental pressures. Symptoms include sleep disturbances, unstable emotions, and self-harm impulses. The absence of the husband in providing emotional support is a crucial factor exacerbating the mother's psychological condition. Conversely, spiritual approaches such as dzikir, prayer, and self-reflection have proven to bring inner peace and aid in the recovery process. Islamic Family Law emphasizes the importance of the husband's role in supporting his wife physically and emotionally, as well as upholding the principles of mawaddah wa rahmah within the household. This study recommends the importance of premarital and prenatal education, the husband's involvement in child-rearing, fulfilling the wife's right to support and protection within the household, and collaboration between medical and religious approaches in supporting postpartum mothers.

Abstract

AbstractThe phenomenon of fatherlessness is a significant social issue in Indonesia, with 20.9% of children growing up without the presence of a father. This study aims to explore the factors contributing to the fatherless phenomenon and investigate its impact on the marriage aspirations of girls in the Situbondo District. The research adopts a qualitative approach with a case study design. The findings reveal four main factors causing fatherlessness: lack of support during the developmental years, parental divorce, paternal neglect, and emotional absence. These factors contribute to low self-confidence and uncertainty in forming relationships. Some informants expressed a positive desire to marry, although past trauma made them more selective in choosing a partner. Others, however, felt doubtful or skeptical about marriage due to past experiences. It can be concluded that the fatherless experience has diverse influences on the motivations and desires for marriage among girls. These differences include coping strategies for trauma and varying criteria for choosing a partner. However, a common thread among them is the awareness of the importance of a responsible male figure and the need for emotional security and stability. This study emphasizes that father involvement is crucial in the psychological development and relational dynamics of girls and provides important insights for parents and policymakers to design more effective interventions to support children in similar situations. Furthermore, it highlights the need for greater attention to the fatherless issue within communities, particularly in Situbondo District.
