Abstract

Abstract. Understanding the structure of a text or discourse has implications for the accuracy of understanding the meaning of the text correctly and comprehensively. Based on this problem, this article aims to describe the structure of the text through an in-depth description of the form and function of connecting expressions that build the coherence of the text. Research data was obtained through documentation from Japanese texts obtained from reading materials in Japanese language learning textbooks that are widely used by institutions in Indonesia. The analysis method is a document study type that conducts scientific work in content analysis to obtain linguistic features as characteristics of the structure of Japanese texts. This study obtained that the occurrence of conjunctions in building the coherence of Japanese texts is effectively composed according to the function of conjunctions. The presence of conjunction words in Japanese text is a keyword to understand the substructure of the text and make it easier for readers to know the importance of the content of the text in question.Keywords: Coherence; Japanese Text Structure; Conjunctions; Textual Cohesion; Linguistic Analysis

Abstract

Abstract. This study highlights the effectiveness of the Time Zone in English Language (Ti-ZEL) program in improving speaking abilities among academic staff at one of the public universities in Pontianak, Indonesia. This was a mixed-method study that included some participants with provoked tests and treatments. Other forms of observation and interviews were conducted to evaluate the overall obstacles and success factors of the Ti-ZEL program. The program significantly improved speaking abilities with measurable progress (p < 0.001). The findings underscore the importance of providing opportunities and supportive environments for English practice within habituation programs. Success factors included respondents' basic English skills, an engaging and practical approach, and consistent commitment. Challenges included technical and non-technical barriers, limited proficiency, internal factors (job exhaustion, mental strain), and external distractions (workload, other activities). This cultivated approach greatly governs the level of skill improvement in speaking English. This strongly concludes the necessity of enhancing the English language skill among the academic staff of the university using the Ti-ZEL habituation model. Implementing this approach to the academic staff was new and at first unfamiliar but it proved to be successful.Keywords: Ti-ZEL, English habituation program, speaking abilities, academic staff

Abstract

The God of Small Things by Arundhati Roy depicts in depth the crisis of modernity faced by the lower caste Untouchables, primarily through the character of Velutha. Modernity itself is an emerging value in a society that is associated with domination over irrationality. The main conflict at issue in this research is the clash that occurs in traditional Indian society represented by the upper-caste, Touchable, and the low-caste, Untouchable. Caste discrimination as a form of conflict is still deeply embedded in Indian society. The low caste, commonly referred to as Untouchables, experience many difficulties in their struggle for identity and in rationalizing thoughts that are constrained by the culture of society that continues to view them with the stigma of lower caste. The struggle of the Untouchables against the power structure at that time was divided into several difficult phases, such as the case of Velutha's forbidden relationship with an upper caste named Ammu. Thus, it was found that the main enemy in their struggle was the social norms of the society itself. The conclusion was that the conflict between tradition and modernity remained deeply rooted, and hopes for change and equality failed to be achieved. This is the final finding of this research, named a crisis of modernity. The implication is the need to continue to fight for individual rights and against all forms of discrimination, as well as supporting social change that is equitable for all.

Abstract

Abstract. The aim of this research is to explore the shift in sexist language directed at men in an English novel that has been translated into Indonesian. The research aims to identify sexist expressions in the original English novel, analyze the translation techniques used in the Indonesian version, and evaluate their impact on the textual equivalence of the translated text. The theory used in this research is Benatar (2012) second sexism, Wareing (2004) classification of sexist expressions and Molina and Albir’s (2002) framework on translation techniques. The result shows that   based on Wareing's four categories of sexist expressions, there are three types of sexist expressions present in the novel. The most frequently used is sexism in discourse, contributing 67% of all sexist expressions. The second most common type is insult, making up 22%, and the last is symmetry and asymmetry, at 11%. The second finding indicates that the most frequently used translation technique for rendering sexist expressions toward men in the novel is literal translation followed by modulation. The third finding shows that literal translation preserves structural cohesion by maintaining the sentence structure of the source text, while modulation and established equivalence enhance cultural cohesion by adapting phrases that may not directly translate but retain the original meaning. Therefore, to translate sexist expressions, it is crucial to select appropriate translation techniques that balance fidelity to the source text with cultural relevance in the target language.Keywords: sexists’ expression, second sexism, translation technique, textual equivalence

Abstract

Abstract. This research examines the relationship between words and it’s meaning in religious terms and their impact on the formation of social identity, based on Ludwig Wittgenstein's language games theory. The research employs a qualitative approach, utilizing literature review and social discourse analysis of religious terms within the social context of Indonesian society. Terms such as hijrah, jihad, sharia, kafir, and bid'ah are analyzed to understand how their meanings shift and evolve over time. The findings reveal that the meanings of these terms are dynamic and heavily influenced by social contexts and usage within the community, playing a significant role in shaping and reinforcing the social identity of specific groups. Thus, this study emphasizes the importance of understanding religious terms within a broader socio-cultural framework, where language functions not only as a means of communication but also as a dynamic instrument for shaping social identity. By demonstrating how the shifting meanings of religious terms influence group boundaries and social interactions, this research contributes to a deeper understanding of religious discourse and its role in the negotiation of identity within Indonesian societyKeywords: word, meaning, religious discourse, language game, contemporary Islam

Abstract

Abstract. This research aims to develop supplementary reading materials for 10th-grade high school students in Jayapura, Papua. It is designed to help students understand English texts while introducing international, national (Indonesian), and local (Papuan) cultures. The study uses the research and development (R&D) model with the ADDIE approach. The needs analysis involved 220 students, followed by small group trials with 22 students and field trials with 65 students. Data were collected through questionnaires and interviews and analyzed using quantitative and qualitative methods. The results show that the developed materials meet students' needs, which were identified through a needs analysis focusing on students' reading difficulties, interests, and cultural exposure. The materials address these needs by incorporating culturally relevant content and interactive exercises. Additionally, they help improve students' reading comprehension through various strategies, such as text-based questions, vocabulary-building exercises, and pronunciation practice. The materials feature texts of 300–400 words, 30–40 new vocabulary words, vocabulary lists, and engaging images. Topics include historical sites, traditional foods, art, and customs. The implementation phase received positive feedback from students, teachers, and subject matter experts with an overall rating of 3.25 and 4.00, which is "very good." This research emphasizes the need to include intercultural values in English reading materials. Future material development should consider including localized and worldwide cultural values to improve students' involvement and understanding in reading English text. The resources are thus suitable as supplemental reading materials for enhancing English literacy and intercultural understanding.Keywords: intercultural values, material development, reading skills, research and development, senior high school

Abstract

Abstract. The reading comprehension question level in textbook is crucial because it provides teachers with a base on what to use in the teaching learning process. This study is concerned with evaluating and contrasting the distribution of question levels in reading comprehensions in two EFL textbooks used in Indonesian secondary schools: English for Nusantara for grade VI (hereinafter referred to textbook 1) and When English Rings A Bell for grade VI (hereinafter referred to textbook 2). Both were published by the Ministry of Education and Culture of the Republic of Indonesia, although for different curriculums. This study focused on assessing Lower Order Thinking Skills (LOTS) and Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) in reading passages using the revised Bloom's taxonomy. This study was designed using the descriptive qualitative approach and data was collected using a checklist table. The data were collected and evaluated to determine the percentages and frequencies associated with each level of thinking skills for the questions. The results showed that in both textbooks, LOTS were more prevalent than HOTS. In textbook 1, the percentage of LOTS is 79%, and in textbook 2, the percentage is 84%, whereas the percentage of HOTS is 21% in textbook 1 and 16% in textbook 2. Furthermore, memorizing (C1) is the most common question in both textbooks, accounting for 62% in textbook 1 and 78% in textbook 2. The findings highlight the need for curriculum developers and educators to reevaluate the complexity and cognitive demands of reading comprehension questions in English textbooks. By fostering higher-order thinking skills through more challenging and diverse questions, students can better prepare for real-world language use and critical analysis. As results, this study underlines the importance of aligning educational materials with the goals of developing students' critical thinking and problem-solving abilities, which are essential for their academic and future professional success.Keywords: Thinking questions, coursebook evalaution, reading questions

Abstract

Abstract. This study explores the humanistic aspects portrayed in Michihito Fujii's film A Family, focusing on the struggles of yakuza members and their families under the restrictions imposed by Japan's Anti-Organized Crime Countermeasures Law (Botaiho). This research employs a descriptive qualitative method and Carl Rogers' humanistic theory to analyze how the characters, particularly Kenji Yamamoto, navigate social stigma while striving to reconstruct their self-identity. Rogers' concept of self-actualization and incongruence provides a crucial framework for understanding Kenji’s psychological struggles and the broader impact of legal and social exclusion. The findings reveal a connection between self-image, self-esteem, and the ideal self in the characters' efforts to reintegrate into society amidst the marginalization effects caused by Botaiho. The film also highlights the broader implications of legal policies on individuals attempting to leave the criminal underworld, underscoring the need for a more inclusive and supportive social structure. This study contributes to discussions on humanistic values and the psychological impact of marginalization while providing insights into legal policies and their social consequences. Thus, it not only enhances our understanding of the individual struggles depicted in the film but also deepens our appreciation of universal human values. Future research could explore comparative studies on former gang members in different cultural contexts to further understand how legal frameworks and societal perceptions influence identity reconstruction and reintegration.Keywords: A Family, film, botaiho, yakuza, humanistic theory
