Abstract

Skincare has emerged as one of the most frequently discussed topics in both traditional and digital media. Among the latest advancements in aesthetic technology, exosome therapy has become a rising star, gaining significant attention in beauty journalism. With this growing popularity, there arises a need to better understand how information about exosome therapy is conveyed, particularly from a syntactic perspective. This study investigates the types of verb phrases used in three selected articles from ELLE magazine that discuss exosome therapy, aiming to gain a deeper insight into how language is used to inform and persuade readers. Employing a qualitative method and a syntactic approach, the study focuses on fifteen verb phrases found within the texts. The analysis reveals four categories of verb phrases: ditransitive, complex, prepositional, and transitive, with complex and prepositional verb types appearing most frequently. These findings highlight the persuasive and informative function of verb usage in conveying content about exosome therapy clearly and effectively.

Abstract

The use of English for adult L2 writers encountered significant challenges in an English-mediated environment. This phenomenon is experienced by EFL teachers while pursuing a Master’s degree abroad. The necessity of challenges and the lack of writing strategies may highlight the obstacles to writing productivity. Therefore, identifying the challenges and effective writing strategies is needed to achieve the goal of writing a thesis. This study used a qualitative narrative inquiry, with in-depth interviews, and focused on 3 Indonesian participants who studied abroad. The findings showed several challenges faced by participants, including academic and non-academic challenges. Academic challenge covers language and content challenge, including problems in grammar, academic style, vocabulary, finding a topic, and novelty, as well as non-academic challenge, including issues in supervisor relationship, time management, mental and emotional pressure. Also, four strategies are applied: cognitive, metacognitive, affective, and social. This research may guide future Master’s students on the importance of specific writing strategies in academic writing and may highlight effective English teaching and impact future international writing publications.

Abstract

This study investigates the role of writing prompts to create appropriate introduction section in research article. The study analyzes three texts generated from ChatGPT by using three distinct prompts formulated based on the writing prompt model proposed by Kroll Reid, and Chapman. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, the resulting texts were analyzed at the macro level to determine the realization of rhetorical moves. The findings indicate that prompt design significantly affects the quality and rhetorical completeness of the Introductions. Prompt 3, which contained more explicit instructions regarding gap identification and research significance, produced a text most closely aligned with all three moves of the CARS model. In contrast, the more general prompts led to partial or less structured realizations of the rhetorical elements. These results suggest that structured and genre-sensitive prompts can effectively guide writers when they seek Artificial Intelligence (like ChatGPT) assistance in writing research article. This study also highlights the pedagogical potential of prompt-based writing as a strategy to support academic writing instruction in higher education especially with the combination of newest technology.

Abstract

This study investigates translation errors found in 100 undergraduate thesis abstracts sourced from five Indonesian universities, with particular attention to syntactic, semantic, and miscellaneous error types. The data were collected from institutional online repositories, and all identifying information related to the authors was removed to ensure anonymity. Only the main bodies of the abstracts were used as the corpus for analysis. The findings reveal that the majority of errors fall under the syntactic category, including incorrect use of tenses, prepositions, and punctuation. Semantic errors, such as literal translations, meaning deviations, and unnecessary additions, were also frequently observed. These errors largely stem from students’ limited understanding of English grammar and translation strategies. The study highlights the importance of strengthening translation competence in undergraduate curricula. By systematically identifying and analyzing these common errors, the research provides valuable insights for improving the teaching of academic translation and suggests the integration of targeted translation materials in English language instruction at the tertiary level.

Abstract

Garnier is one of the most famous international beauty products among women in Indonesia. Founded in France, Garnier is specialized in beauty products such as hair care, skincare, and hair color products. Among all the skincare products, Garnier Light Complete Serum Cream is one of the top sales in Indonesia. This paper is intended to analyze beauty product advertisements from Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) perspective. This study applied qualitative research by using purposive sampling. Garnier’s advertisement does not only convince customers to buy their products but also plant their standard of beauty on women. The advertisement also standardizes the real beauty. The primary data were taken from the advertisement of Garnier Light Complete Serum Cream of Chelsea Islan Edition. This analysis is based on Fairclough’s 3-dimensional model of discourse. Fairclough’s 3-dimensional model discourse focuses on the standardization of real beauty of women through Garnier advertisement. The results show that the advertisements standardize the real beauty of women by using several linguistic devices, semiotics, and strategies. At the end, the Garnier advertisement establishes their ideology of “real beauty” in society.

Abstract

This study examines how university students from rural backgrounds adapt linguistically and culturally after moving to the urban environment of Medan, Indonesia. As these students transition into city-based academic settings, they face the complex task of balancing their cultural roots with the demands of urban life. Guided by Berry’s (2001) Acculturation Theory, this research explores how students navigate issues of identity, language use, and cultural integration. Data were gathered through questionnaires completed by 22 students who had spent at least six semesters studying at a public university in Medan. Through thematic analysis, the study uncovered various adaptation strategies. Most students adopted an integration approach, successfully blending their native language and traditions with urban norms. Some displayed assimilation, especially in formal academic settings, while instances of marginalization were rare. These findings underscore the importance of university policies and support systems that are culturally responsive and inclusive—helping students negotiate their identities and adjust more smoothly to diverse academic environments.

Abstract

This study examines the characterization of the film Enola Holmes (2020), focusing on the emotional, intellectual, and moral aspects of the characters as revealed through dialogue. By employing qualitative analysis, the research explores how character’s self-reliance, resilience, and rejection of social norms through dialogue. Using M.H. Abram’s theory of characterization and Schachter-Singer’s two-factor theory of emotion, the study provides a deeper understanding of how emotions, cognitive processes, and physiological reactions are intertwined in shaping the characters’ traits. While previous studies focused more on gender representation in films, this study fills the void by highlighting the role of dialog in shaping character identity. This study has found that dialog not only functions as an expositional tool, but also as a primary means to convey thematic depth and character complexity. This study contributes to the discourse of film analysis by showing how dialog serves as a narrative device that engages the audience and reinforces the portrayal of characters as multidimensional.

Abstract

Multilingualism is a defining feature of higher education in West Aceh, where students navigate complex linguistic environments across academic and social domains. Understanding how these students manage language choice and code-switching offers insight into the dynamics of communication in multilingual contexts. This study aims to examine the code-switching practices and language preferences of multilingual students in a university setting. Employing a qualitative case study design, data were gathered from five English department students through semi-structured interviews and classroom observations. Thematic analysis was used to identify patterns in language behavior across different contexts. The analysis revealed that tag switching, particularly the insertion of Bahasa Indonesia phrases into English discourse, was the most frequent code-switching strategy during classroom interactions. Outside the classroom, Acehnese was predominantly used in domestic settings, while Bahasa Indonesia and English were commonly used in peer communication. Participants indicated that lecturers' use of code-switching between English and Bahasa Indonesia facilitated comprehension of complex academic content. These findings underscore the strategic and context-dependent use of multiple languages among students, reflecting the dynamic and adaptive nature of multilingual practices in West Aceh's higher education landscape.

Abstract

Understanding the translation of taboo speech acts in audiovisual media is essential, particularly in contexts involving differing cultural norms and values. This study analyzes the translation strategies used to render taboo speech acts from Arabic into Indonesian in the Omar series. A descriptive qualitative approach was adopted using an embedded case study design. The data comprise 26 Arabic taboo utterances and their corresponding Indonesian subtitles. These utterances were categorized into nine types based on Jay’s (2009) typology, with the most frequent being insults related to perceived psychological, physical, or social deviations (19.2%). The translation techniques were examined using Molina and Albir’s (2002) framework, which revealed that reduction (25%) was the most applied strategy. A combination of single, double, and triple-technique applications was also observed across the dataset. These findings suggest that subtitles prioritize cultural acceptability over literal equivalence, employing strategies that mitigate potential offense while preserving the communicative intent of the source text.

Abstract

This study evaluates the strengths and limitations of ChatGPT-generated translations in academic post-editing workflows. The research highlights ChatGPT's ability to enhance translation efficiency by producing grammatically precise and structurally sound drafts, enabling post-editors to focus on higher-level refinements like coherence and contextual accuracy. While the tool demonstrates significant advantages in improving workflow efficiency and adapting texts to academic conventions, it faces challenges in addressing cultural nuances and idiomatic expressions, particularly in underrepresented languages such as Indonesian. The study suggests potential improvements, including expanding training datasets and incorporating advanced contextual understanding features, to maximize ChatGPT's utility. Ultimately, the findings emphasize the importance of combining AI capabilities with human expertise to ensure high-quality and culturally sensitive academic translations. Future research should focus on refining AI tools to meet the diverse needs of global academic communication.
