Abstract

This research investigates transformative learning theory using the biographical film The Ron Clark Story, which depicts an innovative teacher's experiences in an inner-city school. Jack Mezirow defines transformative learning theory as using jarring situations and critical reflection to catalyze dramatic perspective shifts. The study seeks to bridge the gap between academic concepts and their practical applications in educational contexts. The film was analyzed using a qualitative content analysis method, which included systematic data collecting and triangulation of primary and secondary sources. The findings highlight important unsettling challenges confronting Ron Clark, such as culture differences and student resistance, prompting critical reflection and transformative learning. Clark changes his teaching skills through reflective practices, incorporating culturally relevant methods such as rap in the classroom and making personal sacrifices to help his kids. This strategy creates a transformed classroom atmosphere, improving both teaching methods and student outcomes. The study indicates that The Ron Clark Story exemplifies the transforming impact of critical reflection in education. It emphasizes the value of resilience and adaptability in teaching and offers practical advice for educators looking to apply transformative learning practices. This study adds to the discussion about transformative learning by providing a tangible example of theoretical principles put into practice, with the goal of informing professional development programs and improving educational results.

Abstract

This study examines the involvement of the Sea-Gypsies tribe in their children’s English education and the factors influencing their participation. The research is guided by two questions: "To what extent are the Sea-Gypsies involved in their children’s English education?" and "What motivates or discourages parents from participating in their children’s English education?" Employing a qualitative microethnographic design, the study was conducted in the Samabahari Village, Wakatobi Regency, a rural and underdeveloped area in Indonesia. The study involved 45 participants, including 20 students, 24 parents, and one English teacher. Data collection methods included in-depth interviews, observations, documents, and visual materials. The data analysis process encompassed familiarization with the data, creating initial codes, collating codes, grouping codes into themes, reviewing and revising themes, and narrating the findings. The results indicate that most parents support their children’s English learning. This support is rooted in three main beliefs: (1) English proficiency will facilitate their children’s pursuit of higher education; (2) speaking English will enhance their children’s job prospects; and (3) the ability to communicate with foreigners is advantageous.

Abstract

In semantic relations, hyponymy is a relationship where a more specialized word (the hyponym) can be categorized under a more general or generic term (the hypernym). Understanding hyponymy helps elucidate how words and phrases relate to each other in terms of meaning, allowing for the classification of concepts and objects based on their specificity or generality. This research aimed to describe the hyponymic meaning relations found in Batak Toba songs and to explain the types of hyponyms used, particularly in these songs. The study employed a descriptive qualitative research method. The data comprised Batak Toba song lyrics sourced from a YouTube video uploaded on April 23, 2021 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dtSRkD9WyPU), containing fourteen songs that featured hyponymic relations. Data collection involved listening and note-taking techniques, while data analysis was guided by the theory of hyponymy proposed by Croft and Cruse. The analysis identified ten hyponymic words within the song lyrics. The study concluded that Batak Toba songs utilize hyponymic meaning relations, demonstrating how specific terms are subsumed under more general categories.

Abstract

The paper aimed to investigate the phonetic and phonological differences between the consonant sounds of English and Bengali. Data were collected from secondary and primary sources. Initially, data on the phonetic and phonological properties of English and Bengali consonant sounds were gathered through content analysis of various books and journal articles. These data were then analyzed using contrastive analysis (CA) with theoretical frameworks from Received Pronunciation (RP) and Standard Bengali Pronunciation (SBP). Additionally, two interviews were conducted with English Language Teaching (ELT) experts in Bangladesh, selected through purposive sampling. The experts provided insights into the pronunciation challenges faced by Bangladeshi EFL learners due to differences between English and Bengali consonant sounds, and suggested measures to address these issues. The analysis revealed significant differences between English and Bengali consonant sounds in terms of place and manner of articulation, which contribute to substantial pronunciation problems for Bangladeshi EFL learners. Based on these findings, the study offers recommendations for teaching and learning English consonant pronunciation to EFL learners in Bangladesh.

Abstract

This qualitative study investigates the portrayal of human nature's mystique through theoretical analysis. Using a fabulist, mythological approach, William Golding delves into the complexities of human psychology. This study explores the novel's thematic examination of civilization and savagery, demonstrating how the boys' descent into chaos reflects both innate human wickedness and the fragility of social conventions. By analyzing characters, symbols, and narrative structures, the research clarifies the intricate relationship between civilization and barbarism through the lens of primal instincts and societal norms. The study reveals that Golding's depiction of human psychology effectively illustrates the tension between civilization and savagery. The primary text analysis shows how Golding portrays fundamental human characteristics, highlighting the inherent darkness within and the struggle to maintain societal order. Secondary sources are also carefully examined to support this argument. The significance of this study lies in its depiction of the duality of human nature as represented in the novel, offering insights into the delicate balance between our civilized veneers and underlying primal instincts.

Abstract

This study explores Osamu Dazai's defense mechanisms as depicted in the film adaptation of No Longer Human (2019) from a psychoanalytic perspective, drawing on Sigmund Freud's theoretical framework. The narrative follows the protagonist's tumultuous journey, highlighting his struggles with identity, alienation, and social conformity. Using Freud's psychoanalytic concepts, including defense mechanisms such as denial, projection, displacement, sublimation, reaction formation, undoing, and isolation, this study examines the protagonist's psychological responses to trauma and guilt. Employing Miles and Huberman’s method of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing, the research conducts a close analysis of character behavior, dialogue, and symbolism. The film's depiction of these defense mechanisms offers profound insights into the human psyche and its coping strategies in the face of internal and external conflict. By integrating Freudian theory with cinematic interpretation, this study aims to elucidate the intricacies of Dazai's defense mechanisms and provide a deeper understanding of the complexity of human psychology as portrayed in the film.

Abstract

Halal Fiction is a sub-genre that seeks to represent Muslims in a way that reduces Islamophobia. Islamophobia often perpetuates grand narratives that marginalize women's identities, particularly in regions where the population is predominantly Muslim, such as the Middle East, Africa, South Asia, and Southeast Asia. A descriptive-qualitative approach is one methodological strategy within decolonialism, aimed at redefining heteropatriarchal Islamic principles. This approach can be informed by feminist decolonial theory, as proposed by Françoise Verges. The novel Ayesha at Last addresses inequality in marriage and Islamic paradigms through its characters Ayesha and Farzana. This portrayal challenges the perception of Islam as immoral, particularly among Muslim women. Farzana believes that Ayesha has become a moderate Muslim woman, eroding traditional Muslim values, which she deems unsuitable for her son Khalid to marry into. The research aims to challenge stereotypes of Muslim values, advocating for equality between men and women regardless of geopolitical and educational status. The findings reveal that through the character of Ayesha, who transitions from traditional to moderate Islam, the novel demonstrates that Islam is a religion that upholds equal values between men and women, without any inherent differences or harm to one another.

Abstract

Critical discourse analysis is the process of explaining a text (social reality) to individuals or groups who tend to pursue their goals in order to create a framework that must be achieved. Teun A. Van Dijk's theory states that the main emphasis of critical discourse analysis is on inequality and power dynamics in social phenomena. The formulation of the problem in this research is how Teun A. Van Dijk's critical discourse analysis is viewed from the dimensions of the text on Kompas.com news. The aim of this research is to describe the text dimensions of Teun A. Van Dijk's model in the context of online news on kompas.com. The data collection technique used is content analysis technique, while data analysis uses the Teun A Van Dijk model of critical discourse analysis approach. The data source in this research is the kompas.com website regarding three news texts about corruption cases. The news discussed reveals real examples of inequality, domination and power. The research results show that news has three text dimensions, namely macrostructure, superstructure and microstructure. Macrostructure is used to convey opinions, facts and explanations regarding corruption events that occur. The superstructure of the three news items that meet the requirements consists of introduction, body and conclusion. Microstructure contains several elements, including background, details, intent, presuppositions, sentence form, pronouns (pronominals he, his, her, and we), lexicon, graphics, and metaphors (figures of speech).

Abstract

This article aims to explore the structure and meaning of unique Indonesian names, their origins, and the humor they encompass. The topic was selected due to its recent viral status on social media. Utilizing qualitative methods and library research, data were gathered from internet news articles and analyzed through theories of names and nicknames, humor, and Arabic and Islamic religion. These theoretical frameworks were particularly pertinent as the study revealed that many unique names are intricately linked to Islamic and Arabic elements. The findings suggest that the uniqueness of these names often arises from spontaneous selection, with minimal deliberation or understanding of the religious terms incorporated. Predominantly found among the lower-middle class, these names stand out due to their distinctiveness, which often elicits humor. The humorous aspects of these names can be categorized under incongruity theory and, in some cases, superiority theory. This research highlights the cultural and social dimensions of naming practices in Indonesia and their unintended comedic impact.

Abstract

Teachers’ conceptions and approaches to teaching have stronger influence on students’ learning orientations and learning outcomes. This research aimed at examining English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teachers’ conceptions of teaching writing by adopting qualitative research design with interpretative ontological and epistemological assertions. To this end, 16 EFL teachers working at Wollo University, Dessie Campus were involved in semi-structured interviews arranged to explore the different ways that EFL teachers understand teaching writing. The interviews transcribed verbatim and analyzed using phenomenographic data analysis scheme. As the results of the study revealed, six qualitatively different conceptions of teaching writing were identified: (1) awareness-raising, (2) equipping, (3) mimicking, (4) co-writing, (5) practicing, and (6) inspiring conceptions of teaching writing. Three dimensions of variation such as conceptions of writing, locus of teaching writing and beliefs in acquisition of writing skills were discovered to show hierarchical relationships among the categories from simplistic (surface) conceptions of teaching to sophisticated (deep) conceptions of teaching writing. Accordingly, inclusiveness and complexity of teaching conceptions increased as we moved from Category 1 to Category 6. Equipping and practicing conceptions were found to be the most frequently reported conceptions of teaching writing, but institutional and contextual factors adversely impacted the feasibility of practicing conceptions of teaching in EFL writing classes. The findings generally revealed EFL teachers’ tendency to surface conceptions of teaching writing. The study have implications to depict teachers’ orientation to create educational environments that foster deep conceptions and approaches to teaching and learning writing skills at Ethiopian universities.
