Abstract

This research explores the phenomenon of culture shock experienced by the Minangkabau community in Makassar, focusing on its stages and effects. The research employs a qualitative ethnographic design, gathering data through interviews, observations, and documentation to understand the cultural adaptation process. Guided by Kalervo Oberg's U-Curve theory of adjustment, the findings reveal that Minangkabau migrants undergo four distinct stages of culture shock: honeymoon, frustration, adjustment, and adaptation/acceptance. In the honeymoon phase, migrants experience excitement and fascination as they engage with Makassarese culture. However, this enthusiasm fades in the frustration phase, where language barriers, communication differences, and unfamiliar social norms create stress and isolation. The adjustment phase marks a turning point, as migrants develop coping strategies, learn local customs, and build social networks. Finally, the adaptation and acceptance phase sees them achieving a balance between preserving their cultural identity and integrating into the host society. The research concludes that while culture shock presents initial challenges, it ultimately fosters personal growth, resilience, and cultural competence. The findings underscore the importance of social support, cultural awareness, and adaptability in facilitating successful cultural transitions. This research highlights how culture shock, despite its difficulties, can lead to positive outcomes, enriching both the migrants' lives and the multicultural landscape of Makassar.

Abstract

This study examines the characteristics of the major and minor characters in Ernest Hemingway's novel The Old Man and the Sea. Employing a qualitative descriptive design, the research delves into the portrayal of human traits through the novel's characters. The findings reveal that Hemingway skillfully encapsulates various human qualities and struggles in his characters. Santiago, the protagonist, embodies perseverance and resilience despite facing prolonged adversity going eighty-four days without catching a fish. His eventual capture of the Marlin, a massive eighteen-foot-long fish, represents not just a personal victory but also the relentless struggle against forces beyond his control, as he ultimately loses the Marlin. Manolin, a minor character, is depicted as a loyal and compassionate boy who supports and cares deeply for Santiago. Their bond is marked by mutual respect and a shared passion for baseball, highlighting themes of mentorship, friendship, and intergenerational connection. Through these characters, Hemingway portrays the universal human experience of determination, loss, and the enduring strength of relationships.

Abstract

This study investigates the language styles employed by lecturers at the State Tourism Polytechnic of Makassar during classroom interactions, focusing on their implications for the teaching and learning process. Using a qualitative research design grounded in classroom discourse analysis, the study employs a postpositivist approach to explore the nuanced communication dynamics between lecturers and students. Data were collected through observations, document reviews, and audio-visual recordings and analyzed using the Interactive Model of Data Analysis by Miles, Huberman, and Saldana. The findings reveal the absence of the frozen style, typically associated with ceremonial contexts, in classroom settings. Instead, four language styles were identified: formal, consultative, casual, and intimate. The formal style was the most prevalent, used by five lecturers to maintain structure and professionalism. The consultative style, observed in four lecturers, fostered dialogue and collaboration, while the casual style, used by three lecturers, facilitated a relaxed and approachable classroom atmosphere. The intimate style, employed by one lecturer, highlighted its role in building personal connections and providing individualized support. These findings underscore the critical role of language styles in shaping classroom interactions and enhancing student engagement. The study emphasizes the importance of linguistic adaptability and cultural sensitivity in teaching, providing practical implications for teacher training and pedagogical practices. By strategically employing diverse language styles, educators can create dynamic, inclusive, and effective learning environments. Future research should explore student perspectives and cross-cultural variations in language styles to broaden the understanding of their impact on education.

Abstract

Feminism is an enduring social issue, persisting from ancient times to the present. The struggles of early feminists resonate today, with patriarchy still evident in modern media, such as Greta Gerwig's adaptation of Little Women. This research examines how Little Women portrays the social issues of feminism, focusing on the experiences of the main character. Utilizing Sugihastuti's feminist approach, which defines feminism as a movement advocating for equality between men and women across political, economic, educational, and social spheres, the study explores the film's depiction of these themes. Additionally, Betty Friedan's feminist theory is employed to delve deeper into the feminist issues presented. The findings highlight several key feminist themes, including the societal expectation that women must marry to secure their future, the notion that women's roles are confined to homemaking, and the resistance to these norms by characters who choose their paths. The film illustrates the tension between traditional expectations and the characters' desires for independence, revealing the complexities of feminism and its relevance in contemporary society. Through this analysis, the research underscores how Little Women reflects ongoing feminist struggles and challenges the persistent patriarchal norms, offering a nuanced portrayal of women's autonomy and empowerment

Abstract

This study investigates graduate students' perspectives on integrating the heutagogical approach in a Material Development course, emphasizing its effects on engagement, critical thinking, skill acquisition, and real-world applicability. Heutagogy, or self-determined learning, prioritizes learner autonomy, critical reflection, and the flexibility to tailor learning strategies to individual needs. The research employs a descriptive qualitative design, utilizing Likert-scale questionnaires and interviews to collect data from 15 doctoral students, with five selected for in-depth discussions. Findings indicate that most participants consider heutagogy highly effective in promoting self-directed learning and creativity in material development. Notably, 73% strongly believe this approach will benefit their academic and professional futures, demonstrating its relevance to evolving trends in educational material creation. Additionally, 67% feel confident in their ability to innovate and adapt, while 53% recognize its role in developing transferable skills for interdisciplinary projects. Furthermore, 80% affirm that heutagogy is well-suited for doctoral-level education, reinforcing its value in advanced academic settings. Despite these positive outcomes, challenges remain, particularly regarding students' confidence in mentoring others through heutagogical methods. This underscores the need for further investigation into peer-learning and mentorship strategies within this framework. Overall, the study highlights heutagogy’s effectiveness in fostering critical thinking and adaptability in higher education.

Abstract

This study analyzes the function of declarative sentences in constructing emotional narratives within the lyrics of "August" by Taylor Swift. This study exploits a descriptive qualitative methodology with a discourse analysis approach to inspect the implication of declarative structures in showing profound emotional themes such as longing, loss, regret, and unrequited love, transcending their grammatical function. Unlike interrogative or imperative forms, declarative sentences within the song express personal veracity and emotional reflections, allowing listeners to connect with the narrative as an array of introspective memories. This study classifies declarative sentences into five functional categories: descriptive, reflective, situational, conclusive, and existential, each enhancing dissimilar aspects of narrative and emotional resonance. The results expose that declarative sentences present as appliances for transmitting information and as rhetorical tools that enhance emotional closeness between the narrator and the audience. Taylor Swift's lyrics design a poetic monologue that captivates listeners, intertwining personal narrative with universal emotional depth. The research prior discourse analysis, stylistics, and popular music studies by illustrating how grammatical structure can impart huge emotional and narrative meaning in contemporary songwriting.

Abstract

This study investigates the English language needs of students enrolled in the Room Division program at the Tourism Polytechnic of Makassar, Indonesia. Recognizing English as a critical skill in the hospitality sector especially in guest-facing roles, this research aims to assess whether the current English course aligns with the communicative demands of the workplace. Employing a sequential explanatory mixed-methods design, quantitative data were gathered through a 15-item Likert-scale questionnaire administered to 39 students, while qualitative insights were collected via semi-structured interviews with four purposively selected participants. Statistical analysis revealed that students perceived English as highly relevant to their future careers, particularly in speaking and customer service contexts. However, they also expressed a need for more interactive learning, including simulations, role-plays, and authentic materials. Thematic analysis of the interview data confirmed that students found the course lacking in real-world communication practice and contextualized vocabulary. Grounded in ESP theory, this study identifies gaps between the current curriculum and the specific language tasks expected in hotel operations. The findings underscore the importance of tailoring English instruction to meet learners’ professional goals and suggest the integration of task-based, industry-relevant activities. Recommendations are provided for curriculum developers, instructors, and policymakers to enhance the effectiveness of ESP instruction in vocational hospitality education.
