Abstract

Background:  Media tend to portray state-owned scholarships and can influence public opinion in a positive, negative, or neutral way. However, the specific depiction of the LPDP scholarship, a prominent state-owned scholarship in Indonesia, requires closer examination. The image of the LPDP scholarship can be analyzed through the collocation of keywords related to LPDP and LPDP scholarships found in the CNN Indonesia news data corpus. The role of the media in forming a positive or negative image is then critically examined through critical discourse analysis. Methodology:  The method used in this study is critical discourse analysis using corpus tools. The data used are 77 news about LPDP Scholarships with a total of 26,335 tokens. The news text was analyzed with the help of a corpus tool in the form of the AntConc application to obtain word frequencies, collocations, and concordances. Findings:  The image of the LPDP Scholarship in CNN Indonesia news is first seen from the frequency of words that appear and are significant, meaning that CNN Indonesia tends to be specific in reporting the LPDP Scholarship by directly referring to the program it has. Second, the emergence of collocation tends to focus on news about the LPDP Scholarship even though there was one negative image related to the problems that occurred in 2020. Third, the emergence of concordance gives the meaning that CNN Indonesia tends to provide a positive image of news about the LPDP Scholarship. Conclusion:  The results of the study show that the frequency of words, collocations, and concordances that appear mean that the CNN Indonesia news media in reporting the LPDP Scholarship predominantly provides a positive image. The media tends to report specifically about the LPDP Scholarship, such as the registration and funding schemes. On the one hand, the media is neutral in reporting. This can be seen from how the media also portrays the conflict that occurred in the LPDP Scholarship, especially regarding the policies implemented. Originality:  This study uses LPDP news in 2014-2024 released by CNN Indonesia to determine the image of LPDP scholarships based on word frequency, collocation, and concordance.

Abstract

Background: This research explores the experiences of Indonesian doctoral students in English-speaking universities through a collaborative auto-ethnographic approach. Utilising Schartner and Young's (2016) stress and coping strategies and culture-learning frameworks, we analyse narrative data to investigate our academic and sociocultural journeys in the US, UK, and Australia.   Methodology: To attain a profound comprehension, we participate in personal and group introspection, analysis, and interpretation, utilising imaginative thought, creativity, emotional self-exploration, and ongoing dialogues. The study identifies four major psychological adaptation themes (social support, survival, spirituality, and compliance), a critical socio-cultural adaptation theme (feeling like cultural aliens), and a vital academic adaptation theme (questioning our academic capability amid struggles with critical reading and writing).   Findings: The findings reveal three themes: Psychological Aspects: “Social Support, Survival, Spirituality, and Compliance”, Sociocultural Aspect: “We Are Cultural Aliens”, Academic Aspect: “Questioning Our Academic Capacity as We Struggled to Read and Write Critically”.   Conclusion: The findings underscore the significance of awareness and emphasise the necessity for effective adaptation among international doctoral students. This research contributes valuable insights into the challenges faced by Indonesian doctoral students in Anglophone academic settings, shedding light on the importance of support systems, cultural understanding, and academic confidence stop where for a successful academic journey.   Originality: While previous studies have largely examined the difficulties faced during adaptation, the way these challenges ultimately lead to successful outcomes remains under-explored. This research seeks to address this deficiency by investigating how Indonesian international research students in Anglophone universities convert cultural, psychological, and academic obstacles into successful adaptation.

Abstract

Background: Gamified instruction is a challenging solution to problems in students’ vocabulary and motivation in rural areas like South Nias. This study aims to determine the effect of gamified instruction on students’ vocabulary ability and motivation. Methodology: The aims of this study were achieved by implementing a mixed research method (qualitative and quantitative). The experimental research design was used to determine the effect of treatment on vocabulary ability; however, a questionnaire and semi-structured interview were delivered to the experimental students. The sample of this study is 60 students.   Findings: After analyzing the data, it is shown that the experimental group positively affects students’ motivation. The control group has a higher motivation but is not significant in their vocabulary achievement. In addition to that significant effect on experimental vocabulary achievement. Gamified instruction can be concluded as an efficient strategy to achieve learning goals.  Conclusion: Gamified instruction can be an alternative solution for English teachers to improve student vocabulary and motivation to learn English as a foreign language. Originality: Most of the current studies focus on online media (platforms) and less research investigates vocabulary and students' motivation.

Abstract

Background: This study examines low-competency EFL students' first-time interpretation performance, concentrating on how they use their limited linguistic proficiency to interpret the messages. Student interpreters often face difficulties due to limited linguistic proficiency, which can result in misinterpretations in their first performance. However, there is currently a dearth of studies in this specific context.Methodology: Since how students use various techniques needs to be revealed in detail, their performances are recorded in the form of videos. Purposive sampling was used to select students who lacked fluency and interpreting experience. A corpus-assisted discourse analysis was applied to a dataset of 281 instances to identify recurring patterns in students' strategies. The analysis process was divided into two cycles to prevent data loss due to careless attention and insufficient reflection on human language patterns.Findings: Approximation was the most used strategy, occurring 46 times, followed by substitution at 38 instances, and compression appeared 30 times. Other strategies included reproduction (31 times), word-for-word translation (24 instances), and stalling (18 instances), with ten instances of omissions. The results further show that students keep having difficulty with vocabulary and general language transfer, which causes them to misinterpret messages. Nevertheless, students can achieve a balance between meaning loss and compression even with their insufficient language abilities in interpreting. A significant finding is the discovery of a new technique—cultural reference—that students employ to interpret utterances through cultural adaptation, which fundamentally alters how students interpret the language.Conclusion: This study concluded that students’ stronger cultural proficiency in one of their languages significantly affects their interpretation strategy. Students also frequently use wrong approximations to simplify complex information or manage time constraints while interpreting, leading to errors.Originality: The study's substantive findings clarify that inexperienced interpreters' strategies are influenced by cultural references, which contributes to fulfilling interpreting studies, particularly on first-time interpreting performance.

Abstract

Background: This study explores a topic that has not received enough attention in the literature: the relationship between EFL students' perceptions of online collaborative writing and their actual writing performance. Few studies have specifically looked at how learners' self-assessments match quantifiable writing outcomes, despite prior research emphasizing the advantages of collaborative writing for language development. Methodology: 91 Indonesian EFL undergraduate students took part in this study by working together to write an argumentative essay while receiving online instruction. Open-ended surveys, self-perception questionnaires, documentation of online collaborative interactions, and student essays were used to gather data. Findings: According to both quantitative and qualitative analyses, the majority of students had favorable opinions about collaborative writing and thought it improved their speaking and writing confidence. Statistical analysis, however, revealed no meaningful relationship between students' assessments of themselves and their actual writing abilities. Conclusion: These results underline the need for more reflective and feedback-rich writing instruction in EFL contexts by indicating that students may misjudge their own writing abilities. Originality: The originality of this study lies in its dual focus on EFL students' self-perceptions and their actual writing performance within an online collaborative writing context. Unlike previous research that typically examines these aspects separately, this study uniquely correlates self-assessment with quantifiable writing outcomes, particularly in the demanding genre of argumentative writing. Conducted in an Indonesian EFL setting during remote learning, it highlights important cultural and technological influences often overlooked in similar studies. Thus, it provides a novel perspective on the gap between students' perceived and actual writing abilities in online collaborative environments.

Abstract

Background: The Teaching Factory (TEFA) method has emerged as a practical approach in ESP Maritime English, particularly in enhancing cadets’ participation in simulated maritime scenarios such as loading and unloading communication, onboard communication checking, and goods tracking via phone. Grounded in experiential learning theory, TEFA bridges the gap between theoretical knowledge and real-world application, preparing cadets for industry demands.Methodology: This study used qualitative case study approach to explore seventh-year maritime cadets’ perceptions of the TEFA method. The subjects were seventh semester maritime cadets from maritime academy. Data collection involved classroom observations and semi-structured interviews, focusing on the cadets’ engagement, confidence, and learning outcomes.Findings: The results showed that 65% of cadets agreed that TEFA made learning Maritime English easier, while 60% found the method enjoyable and engaging. Additionally, 55% of cadets reported reduced anxiety, attributing their increased confidence to the hands-on learning experience provided by TEFA simulations. However, 15% of cadets remained neutral, expressing the need for more structured guidance and additional practice to adapt to the interactive learning approach fully.Conclusion: This study concludes that TEFA effectively bridges the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical maritime communication, making learning more industry relevant. Future research should examine blended learning methods, digital feedback systems, and long-term evaluations to strengthen TEFA’s role in improving cadets’ communication skills and preparedness for maritime operations. Integrating online and practical training can enhance learning flexibility while reinforcing real-world application through virtual simulations. Digital feedback tools can help cadets refining pronunciation and fluency by providing immediate assessments and personalized guidance.Originality: This study addresses a gap in understanding how TEFA influences cadets’ perceptions and learning outcomes in ESP Maritime English, particularly in simulated maritime scenarios. It provides insights into the method’s effectiveness and areas for improvement, offering a foundation for future innovations in maritime education.

Abstract

Background: A crucial issue in teacher education today is ensuring that PTs are well prepared to integrate technology into their future classrooms. This study examines the implementation of Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) among preservice English teachers in planning and implementing learning, as well as the barriers they face and their solutions.Methodology: This study used a case study research design to explore in depth how PTs apply the TPACK framework in real classroom situations. The participants in this study consisted of five PTs from teacher education programs at four universities in Indonesia.Findings: PTs generally show good alignment between technology use, pedagogical strategies, and content in their lesson plans, but are often not optimally integrated during implementation. The main barriers identified include limited access to and technology resources, differences in technology skill levels between students and teachers, students' difficulties in adapting to technology-based learning, and time management issues. The solutions are to provide device assistance to students in need, provide basic technology training and plan carefully and provide realistic time for students to adapt to technology and complete assignmentsConclusion: To enhance technology integration in education, universities must prioritize providing device assistance and basic tech training for PTs. By addressing these barriers, educators can better support effective technology use in the classroom, ultimately improving student learning outcomes.Originality: How pre-service teachers, who are the next generation of educators, develop and implement TPACK during their preparation and learning phases. In particular, there is very little research that specifically explores the implementation of TPACK in the classroom by PTs, as well as a lack of exploration of the challenges faced by them and the strategies used in the TPACK integration process.

Abstract

BackgroundThe Home Language and Literacy Environment (HLLE) is critical for children's language development, cognitive growth, and academic success. In bilingual and multilingual households, HLLE influences linguistic proficiency, executive function, and social integration. While numerous studies emphasize HLLE’s potential benefits, significant gaps remain concerning the influence of socioeconomic status, parental involvement, and access to technological tools in diverse home contexts. MethodologyThis Systematic Literature Review (SLR) synthesizes findings from 23 empirical studies (both qualitative and quantitative) published between 2019 and 2024, selected from 2,098 records across Crossref, Google Scholar, Scopus, and Web of Science. A thematic and quantitative synthesis categorizes results based on HLLE components, parental engagement, socioeconomic factors, and technology use.FindingsHLLE supports cognitive flexibility, literacy, and executive function. Parental involvement, especially in shared reading and storytelling, strongly links to higher vocabulary scores and literacy rates. Children in HLLE-rich environments show significant gains in language and reading, with vocabulary improvements of 20–30% and more conversational turns per hour, as measured by tools like LENA. Metrics such as adult word count and child vocalizations underscore HLLE’s impact. However, limited access to books, interactions, and technology due to socioeconomic gaps continues to widen literacy disparities. While tools like LENA offer valuable insights, challenges in accessibility and equity remain.ConclusionHLLE is essential for bilingual and multilingual literacy development. Addressing parental literacy support, socioeconomic inequalities, and digital literacy initiatives is crucial for equitable learning outcomes. Future research should assess HLLE’s long-term impact on academic success.OriginalityThis study offers a comprehensive synthesis of HLLE research, integrating linguistic, sociocultural, and quantitative perspectives to inform educators, policymakers, and researchers.

Abstract

Background: Instagram captions play an important role in digital communication and can be used as an innovative tool in writing instruction. By encouraging creativity and clarity, captions help students practice meaningful writing through a familiar platform. This study aims to examine the implementation of Instagram captions in teaching descriptive texts and assess their impact on students' writing skills and motivation.Methodology:This research employed classroom action research (CAR) design, conducted in two cycles, each consisting of five meetings, with the aim of improving tenth-grade students' descriptive writing skills using Instagram as a teaching media. In the planning phase, lesson plans were developed incorporating Instagram post caption activities. During the implementation phase, students were engaged in writing descriptive texts by creating captions for photos on Instagram. Observations were made throughout the teaching process, with field notes documenting the students' participation and enthusiasm. Data were collected through pre-test and post-test assessments to measure students' writing skills, and qualitative data from observations were analyzed to assess classroom dynamics. Findings:The findings of this research indicate a significant improvement in students' descriptive writing skills after the implementation of Instagram post captions as a teaching media. In the pre-test, the mean score was 75.94, with only 50% of students meeting the minimum achievement criteria (KKM). However, after the intervention, the post-test mean score increased to 80.16, with 100% of students achieving the KKM. This demonstrates a 55.57% improvement in students' writing abilities. Additionally, observations during the lessons revealed that students were more engaged and enthusiastic throughout the process, suggesting that Instagram captions effectively captured their interest and contributed to a more active and interactive classroom environment. Conclusion:In conclusion, the use of Instagram post captions as a teaching media has proven to be an effective strategy for improving students' descriptive writing skills in the tenth grade at SMAN 3 Kuningan. The research demonstrated a significant improvement in students' writing performance, with all students meeting the minimum achievement criteria by the end of the study. The integration of Instagram into the learning process not only enhanced students' writing skills but also increased their engagement and enthusiasm during lessons. Therefore, Instagram post captioning can be considered a valuable and innovative tool for teaching writing, particularly in descriptive text, and can be applied in similar educational settings to foster student creativity and motivation in writing.Originality:This study offers an original approach by utilizing Instagram post captions to improve students' descriptive writing skills, integrating social media as an effective tool in enhancing language learning outcomes.
