Abstract

The aim of this research project is to determine whether Indonesian high school students can understand both English and Chinese well through the Simultaneous English–Mandarin Learning (SEMLM) model. This need for two-language competence arises from a global context in which English is the dominant language of science and international communication; yet Mandarin is becoming more visible in Southeast Asia due to geographical changes driven by China’s economic and political awakening. Traditional language teaching in Indonesia has prioritised English, or else has various foreign languages simply following one another, leaving no chance for comprehensive bilingual development among our children. It was a mixed-method study conducted at three schools in Jakarta and Bandung. Data were collected using standardised assessments (Cambridge PET, HSK Level 2), classroom observation and interviews with teachers and students. The study found that simultaneous learners showed improvements in both languages that were more balanced and deeper than those of students following a sequence, with effect sizes of 0.83 for English and 0.76 for Mandarin. Qualitative data from students’ language strategies reveal that they actively applied methods across languages, such as comparing grammars between Mandarin and English, code-switching, or translanguaging, to understand a particular concept more deeply without their minds being overloaded. Supported by cross-linguistic transfer, cognitive interdependence theory, and research on optimal cognitive load management, the study's screen reveals that it is possible to integrate both languages into a single instructional model. The students may, in fact, fare better metalinguistically, staying alert and responding more quickly. The study also recommends long-term research, the adaptation of digital teaching materials, and broader teacher training to ensure the sustainability of this model across different educational contexts

Abstract

The widespread shift in the meaning of healing across social media platforms has transformed public perceptions of psychological recovery into practices centered on the consumption of products, services, and experiences. This study aims to critically examine the changing meaning of healing and its implications for consumerist practices. Employing a mixed-methods approach with a case study design, the research combines qualitative and quantitative data to provide a comprehensive analysis. The qualitative data consist of TikTok videos posted by @avian.brands, which were analyzed using Norman Fairclough's Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) through its three analytical dimensions: text, discursive practice, and social practice. The quantitative component comprises secondary survey data on social media usage collected from multiple sources to contextualize the phenomenon. The findings demonstrate that healing narratives on social media function as discursive instruments that normalize consumption as a legitimate solution to psychological problems. The analysis further identifies a recurring cycle in which stress is mediated through media narratives that construct product desirability, encourage consumption, and ultimately produce only temporary healing, thereby reinforcing repeated consumer behavior rather than addressing the underlying causes of emotional distress. Six key data sets were identified from the Avian Brands campaign videos, including four findings at the textual level and two at the discursive practice level. The social practice analysis was conducted across three interconnected dimensions—situational, institutional, and social—revealing how healing discourse reproduces capitalist ideology by redefining emotional recovery as a consumer practice.
