Abstract

This study investigates the influence of the local dialect on students' speaking abilities, focusing specifically on the Makassar/Gowa dialect. It examines how the accent and features of the students' first language can affect their proficiency in speaking English, particularly in multicultural contexts. The research explores challenges arising from dialectal interference and factors related to the mother tongue that impact oral performance. Using a quantitative descriptive method, data were collected through closed-ended questionnaires. The findings reveal that the local dialect plays a multifaceted role in shaping students' speaking skills. While dialectal influence poses certain challenges, it also has positive implications. Students who embrace their local dialect tend to exhibit greater confidence and motivation in learning English. Moreover, leveraging the local dialect in teaching strategies encourages active learning and enhances oral communication. Teachers can utilize these insights to create a supportive learning environment, incorporating various media and facilities to improve students' speaking proficiency. This study highlights the importance of understanding linguistic diversity in educational settings and underscores the potential of dialect-sensitive approaches to foster better engagement and learning outcomes for English language learners

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 explores the perceived role of English in maritime education at the Merchant Marine Polytechnic of Barombong, specifically questioning whether Maritime English is treated as a core or supplementary subject. Employing a quantitative approach, data were collected through a structured questionnaire administered to 100 cadets. The findings reveal a strong consensus among cadets regarding the importance of English in enhancing communication skills, building professional confidence, and supporting future career opportunities in the global maritime industry. Despite this, Maritime English remains marginalized within the curriculum, often taught separately from technical subjects and allocated minimal instructional time. The study identifies a significant gap between cadets’ linguistic needs and the current pedagogical approach. The results also align with similar local research in Indonesia, indicating a national trend of underemphasizing Maritime English in seafaring education. This research concludes with a recommendation to reposition Maritime English as a main course integrated into practical and technical maritime training to better prepare cadets for international standards and global work environments.

Abstract

This study examines the phenomenon of using the word anjir as a popular emotional expression in informal conversations within modern Indonesian society. This phenomenon reflects the dynamic nature of language and cultural familiarity in everyday communication. Through a semantic and pragmatic approach, this research aims to analyze the function of anjir in various social and situational contexts. Data were collected using questionnaires distributed to respondents and analyzed using a mixed-method approach, combining qualitative methods to understand social contexts and quantitative methods to measure the frequency and patterns of usage. The results show that anjir is most frequently used to express surprise (58.8%), followed by humor (29.4%), admiration (14.1%), and anger (1.1%). These findings reveal that anjir functions as an emotional amplifier and a tool for fostering closeness in informal conversations, although its usage is considered less appropriate in formal situations. This study highlights the flexibility of linguistic expressions in adapting to modern communication needs while contributing to the semantic and pragmatic studies of the Indonesian language.
