Abstract

The "Uang Panai" (bridewealth) custom holds significant cultural weight in various Indonesian ethnic groups, particularly among the Bugis, Moronene, and Sunda. This study investigates the intricate relationship between tradition and contemporary perceptions surrounding Uang Panai in these three distinct communities. Utilizing a qualitative approach with an ethnographic design, the research employed in-depth interviews and participant observation with community elders, young adults, and cultural figures in selected regions of South Sulawesi (Bugis), Southeast Sulawesi (Moronene), and West Java (Sunda). Key findings reveal diverse interpretations and practices of Uang Panai, ranging from its symbolic value as a reflection of family honor and social status among the Bugis, to its more pragmatic function as a shared financial responsibility in the Moronene community. In contrast, the Sundanese perspective, while acknowledging traditional dowry, shows less emphasis on a comparable "Uang Panai" concept, often prioritizing the couple's readiness. The study concludes that while Uang Panai remains a fundamental cultural element, its execution and societal acceptance are continually shaped by evolving socio-economic conditions and generational perceptions, leading to varying degrees of adaptation and preservation across these Indonesian ethnic groups.

Abstract

Emojis have evolved from informal digital symbols to useful teaching tools, particularly for young students learning English as a second language. The function of emojis in kindergarten classrooms in promoting visual communication, emotional comprehension, and language development is examined in this comprehensive literature review. We find patterns of emoji integration that improve vocabulary acquisition, promote emotional expressiveness, and facilitate cooperative contact by reviewing 22 peer-reviewed studies published between 2013 and 2024. We conclude that emojis speaks enable kindergarten learners' linguistic and social-emotional learning environments enhanced by serving as visual scaffolding and affective cues in English language learning. There includes discussion of the implications for digital tool development and classroom practice.

Abstract

The rapid growth of digital technology has significantly changed how English is taught and learned in today’s classrooms. In the field of English as a Foreign Language (EFL), teachers increasingly use mobile-assisted language learning (MALL) to create learning environments that are more communicative, flexible, and accessible. One of the most popular tools for this purpose is WhatsApp, a mobile messaging platform that supports real-time, authentic, and collaborative communication (Kukulska-Hulme, 2020). The book, titled Basic Speaking: WhatsApp-Based Daily Conversation (2020), was written by Dr. Maulina, Prof. Dr. Nurdin Noni, and Prof. Drs. Muhammad Basri, and published by Deepublish. It contains approximately 103 pages of material designed for one semester of university-level speaking instruction. The textbook provides a practical model that integrates Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) with Mobile-Assisted Language Learning (MALL), reflecting the increasing role of mobile technology in education. In this context, the book Basic Speaking: WhatsApp-Based Daily Conversation by Maulina, Noni, and Basri (2020) offers an innovative approach to teaching speaking. It combines the principles of communicative language teaching with the practicality of digital collaboration. The book was written in response to the growing need to modernize English materials for university students in Indonesia, where digital literacy and social media play an important part in students’ everyday lives. It is designed for basic speaking courses and aims to bridge classroom learning with students’ mobile communication habits. By doing so, it allows learners to practice conversational English through WhatsApp both inside and outside the classroom (Alshammari, 2020). One of the main problems in many EFL settings is limited exposure to authentic communication. The book addresses this challenge by using familiar technology as a way for students to stay engaged with English beyond class time. This review provides an academic evaluation of the book’s content, teaching design, and its relevance to English language teaching. It outlines the book’s main features, discusses its strengths and weaknesses, and examines how it integrates both linguistic and socio-cultural competence. The review ends with several recommendations for teachers and researchers who are interested in developing similar digital-based speaking materials.
