Abstract

This study investigates the moral values of the Lasaeo folktale, a traditional folktale from Central Sulawesi, Indonesia, for character building in young learners. Employing a qualitative, descriptive approach, the research analyzes the narrative to identify embedded moral values. The researcher served as the primary instrument. The data were gathered through document analysis. The researcher then analyzed using the interactive model proposed by Miles and Huberman. The analysis revealed five core moral values within the Lasaeo folktale: obedience, responsibility, consequences of anger, importance of respect, and maintaining peace. The study comes to the conclusion that the Lasaeo folktale, which is rooted in culture, is a useful tool for promoting moral understanding, character growth, and a sense of social responsibility in early childhood education.

Abstract

Abstract. This study investigates the interactional use of Indonesian discourse markers (DMs) ya/iya, and compares their functions with their counterparts in Dutch (ja) and English (yes). While ya/iya typically signal agreement in Indonesian, this research aims to uncover the broader and more nuanced functions of these markers in spoken discourse. Employing a qualitative discourse analysis approach, the study analyzes approximately 90 minutes of naturally occurring conversation among five Indonesian international students enrolled in a Dutch language course at Radboud University Nijmegen, the Netherlands. The data were collected through audio recordings and transcribed for in-depth functional analysis. Findings reveal that ya/iya perform a range of functions beyond simple agreement, including interrupter-ya, continuer-ya, emotive-ya, and tag-ya. Some of these uses align with those documented for English yes and Dutch ja, while others demonstrate context-specific functions unique to Indonesian. The study contributes to the cross-linguistic understanding of discourse markers, highlighting their multifunctionality and pragmatics in multilingual settings. These findings offer broader implications for discourse analysis, second language pragmatics, and intercultural communication, especially in globalized educational environments where such markers mediate social interaction across languages and cultures. Keywords: Functions, discourse markers (DMs), Indonesian-ya, English-yes, Dutch-ja
