Abstract

This study explores the factors influencing attendance among employees enrolled in English language courses, with a focus on understanding attendance patterns and proposing interventions to improve participation. English proficiency is a critical asset in the global era, and many companies in Indonesia offer English courses as part of their professional development programs. Despite their importance, these programs face attendance challenges due to factors such as professional commitments and schedule conflicts. The research employs a quantitative method, utilizing surveys to gather data from 15 employees participating in English courses at two institutions in Indonesia, one in Jakarta (called Bravo – pseudonym) and another one in Bandung (called Delta – pseudonym). Results highlight two primary factors affecting attendance: (1) professional development as a key motivator and (2) schedule conflicts as a major barrier. To address these challenges, the study proposes actionable interventions, by implementing a blended learning model and integrating mutual agreements between companies and course providers including creating supportive environment such as implementing blended learning model, designating learning hours and providing reward or incentive.

Abstract

This study examines how mental health operates as both an emotional narrative device and a commercial strategy in three Indonesian films: Kukira Kau Rumah (2021), Ketika Berhenti di Sini(2023), and Bolehkah Sekali Saja Kumenangis (2024). Intrinsically, the films portray young female protagonists entangled in familial dysfunction and psychological distress, reinforcing popular genre formulas of emotional victimhood and romantic salvation. Drawing on Cawelti’s formula theory and Adorno’s culture industry critique, the study shows how mental health is stylized into consumable spectacle, balancing originality with familiar tropes to ensure audience identification. Extrinsically, the commodification of mental health is evident in promotional strategies using emotional endorsements, celebrity influence, and outreach programs. Through the lens of Hesmondhalgh’s political economy of media and Dyer’s star studies, the research argues that mental health becomes emotional capital—marketed through star personas and affective narratives to boost engagement, empathy, and commercial success.
