Abstract

Euphemistic expressions play a significant role in educational discourse, particularly in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classrooms where cultural sensitivity and affective support are central to learning. This study investigates how English teachers in Indonesia strategically use euphemism to manage classroom interaction and provide feedback without threatening students’ self-esteem. A qualitative descriptive design was employed, focusing on two secondary school English teachers in South Sulawesi. Data were collected through non-participant classroom observations, with detailed field notes capturing authentic teacher–student exchanges, and were validated through post-lesson clarification. Thematic analysis revealed seven recurrent categories of euphemistic strategies: politeness markers, softening language, downplaying language, indirect requests, minimization of errors, correction with positive feedback, and reassurance. These strategies were not merely linguistic substitutions but pedagogical tools for fostering respectful communication, reducing anxiety, and sustaining learner engagement. Findings suggest that euphemism contributes to the affective dimension of language pedagogy by aligning instructional clarity with socio-cultural expectations of respect and harmony. The study highlights the importance of integrating euphemistic strategies into teacher education and professional development. While limited in scope, it provides a foundation for further research on the pragmatic and pedagogical functions of euphemism in EFL contexts.

Abstract

The increasing complexity of education management in the digital era poses challenges to achieving sustainability, efficiency, and effective school leadership. The implementation of the smart school concept remains fragmented due to insufficient integration among technological innovation, sustainability, managerial effectiveness, and human resource readiness to support educational transformation. This study aims to map and synthesize research trends in smart school management, with a focus on sustainability and efficiency, during the period 2010–2025. Data obtained from the Scopus database using the keywords “smart school,” “sustainability,” and “efficiency,” resulting in 295 publications analyzed using bibliometric methods using VOSviewer. The results show increased scientific attention since 2018, along with the acceleration of global digitalization in education, with Malaysia, China, India, and Iran as major contributors. Thematic mapping indicates a shift from a technology-based approach to an integrated framework that emphasizes sustainability, efficiency, adaptive leadership, systemic collaboration, learning and innovation, and continuous professional development.
