Abstract

The primary goal of this research was to examine metaphors in selected Blackpink song lyrics. The study's objectives are to identify the types of metaphors syntactically based on Abdul Wahab (1986) and to analyse the metaphorical meanings of selected Blackpink song lyrics using Lakoff and Johnson's source and target (1980). A descriptive-qualitative approach is used in this study. The metaphors used in Blackpink's song lyrics were the data. The researcher applies Abdul Wahab's theory of syntactical types of metaphor to the identified data and analyses it using Lakoff and Johnson's concept of source and target in metaphor. Subjective nominative metaphor, objective nominative metaphor, predicative metaphor, and sentence metaphor were the four types of metaphor used in five selected Blackpink song lyrics. The writer finds that the phrase metaphor is the type of metaphor most commonly used in Blackpink's songs, followed by the objective metaphor of the predicative metaphor and subjective metaphor. Each of the types of metaphors collected in the following study contains abstract terms with real meanings.

Abstract

The primary objective of this research article is twofold: First, it examines the perspectives of Indonesian higher school students regarding the use of translanguaging both within and outside the classroom. Second, it analyzes the potential implications of translanguaging practices on their future careers. Adapting a nexus case-study framework, the study purposively selected five participants among 38 students who were pursuing a degree in economics at a private institution in Surabaya, Indonesia. The data were collected through classroom observations, participant reflections, and focus group discussions, then analyzed thematically to trace connections among historical bodies, interactional orders, and discourses in place. The findings reveal that the participants hold loose and gain viewpoints toward translanguaging. While the participants recognize the learning value of small group debates, they prefer to use only English during classroom lectures, reflected by the interplay between their linguistic histories, real-time classroom interactions, and broader societal ideologies monolingual space emerges when individuals conform to the ideals espoused by their social groupings. The participants’ alignment with monolingual norms is shaped by institutional expectations and imagined futures where English accuracy and fluency signals professionalism. Although translanguaging supports learning, they fear its overuse may constrain career advancement.  The consequences of these findings are further discussed in the closing portion of this work.

Abstract

Learner agency is a crucial factor enabling learners to make decisions and act upon them, thereby transforming their learning experiences. Identifying agency within the context of digital technology advancements, particularly through mobile-driven transmedia experiences, is essential. This study aims to examine the archetypes of learner agency in task-based activities conducted out of classroom activities. Previous research has predominantly focused on the utility of mobile devices within classroom settings, overlooking the potential benefits of agentive learning opportunities outside the classroom. This study employed a qualitative case study design grounded in Complex Dynamic System Theory (CDST) and tied to Retrodictive Qualitative Modelling (RQM) technique. Data were collected through task observations, Focus Group Interviews, and in-depth interviews. Thematic analysis was used to identify dynamic patterns and signatures related to learner agency and transmedia engagement across contexts. Thirty-five EFL learners participated in three sequential task activities using mobile phones both inside and outside the classroom. From this group, three participants were purposively selected for in-depth interviews to explore their significant experiences in completing the tasks. The findings reveal two primary types of learner agency: intentional and incidental. While intentional agency is limited by spatiotemporal constraints, incidental agency transcends these boundaries. The study's implications highlight the potential of transmedia to empower learner agency through mobile-driven technology, offering valuable insights that can enhance language teaching practices beyond traditional classroom settings.

Abstract

Stigma surrounding mental health issues in educational settings remains a significant barrier for students in accessing support and managing their emotional well-being. This study aims to investigate the role of education in reducing mental health stigma and fostering a more inclusive and empathetic school environment. Using a literature review approach, the article synthesizes findings from various academic sources to highlight the importance of accurate, culturally sensitive, and age-appropriate mental health education. It emphasizes the need for comprehensive teacher and staff training to identify early symptoms of psychological distress and respond with empathy and without discrimination. Furthermore, the availability of accessible and confidential counselling services within schools is identified as a key factor in building a supportive climate. The study also underscores the importance of collaboration between schools, families, and communities in promoting mental health literacy and creating a safe space for students to thrive. By addressing stigma through education and systemic support, schools can play a transformative role in safeguarding students’ mental health and promoting long-term psychological resilience.

Abstract

This paper critically investigates how the adoption of local e-learning platforms affects digital literacy advancement and learning outcomes in primary school education. Focusing on disparities in access and the influence of pedagogical and evaluative design, the study employs a qualitative literature review approach with thematic synthesis. Results highlight that, while technology holds promise for leveling educational opportunities, digital equity is contingent upon comprehensive system support extending beyond mere device provision. Responsive instructional design, robust assessment mechanisms, and meaningful collaboration among teachers, families, and community stakeholders are crucial for ensuring that e-learning platforms facilitate not only technical access but also genuine engagement and skill mastery. The investigation reveals that digital literacy for primary students flourishes where digital platforms are integrated into school cultures that value inclusivity, formative feedback, and adaptive learning. The research underscores the need for ongoing structural investments, sustained professional development, and policy frameworks attuned to local heterogeneity. This study offers essential insights for the strategic expansion of digital learning, contributing to a more reflective and equitable digital education ecosystem for young learners.
