Abstract

This library research reviews recent studies on the use of picture series to improve students’ writing skills in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classrooms. Writing is often difficult for students because they have trouble finding ideas, organizing sentences, and using correct grammar. Many teachers and researchers have tried different ways to help students write better. One popular technique is using picture series as visual aids. This study collected data from five recent articles published between 2019 and 2024. The reviewed studies used different methods, including experimental research, classroom action research, and qualitative reviews. All studies reported positive results. Students who learned writing through picture series were more motivated, could organize their ideas better, and wrote more creatively. Even students with low English skills improved when teachers used pictures to support their writing. However, some teachers reported challenges, such as preparing good picture materials and managing large classes during picture-based activities. Despite these challenges, the findings strongly suggest that picture series are an effective and engaging tool for teaching writing. They help students become more confident and reduce the fear of writing in English. This research recommends that teachers use picture series more often, especially in EFL contexts, and that future studies explore digital picture tools to make this technique even more practical in modern classrooms.

Abstract

Children’s literature reflects how societies teach younger generations moral reasoning, empathy, and cultural identity. Over the past two decades, global children’s literature has undergone significant shifts in theme and form, reflecting broader social and technological changes. This study examines the evolution of ethical functions, representation, and narrative media in children’s literature across three phases: 2001–2009, 2010–2019, and 2020–2025. Using a qualitative comparative design and reflexive thematic analysis, the research examines award-winning and internationally circulated works to identify shifting values and patterns in storytelling practices. Findings indicate that the literary works of the early 2000s, dominated by fantasy and dystopia, deliver the moral laboratories where young readers practiced ethical judgment within imagined worlds. The 2010s redirected this focus toward realism, inclusion, and social participation, highlighting the rise of own-voices authors and multimodal formats such as verse and graphic novels. In the 2020s, children's literature has increasingly engaged with real-world crises—pandemics, racial justice, climate anxiety, and mental health—transforming stories into tools for recovery, empathy, and digital literacy. Across these three periods, children’s literature moves from imagining moral choices to enabling real ethical action, from representing diversity to institutionalizing it, and from textual storytelling to interactive, cross-media experiences. This evolution demonstrates that children’s literature is no longer a passive reflection of cultural change but actively shapes global empathy and civic awareness among young readers.

Abstract

This research addresses the persistent challenge of tense instruction in Indonesian madrasah tsanawiyah, where grammar learning is often perceived as rule-heavy and detached from meaningful practice. The study aims to examine the extent to which Busuu-assisted learning can enhance eighth-grade students’ English tense mastery and to outline a feasible classroom integration model within a realistic school timetable. A pre-experimental one-group pre-test–post-test design was employed with qualitative approach. The participants were 23 eighth-grade students at MTs DDI Tuppu Pinrang selected from an intact class; however, complete matched pre- and post-test scores were available for 22 students and were used for analysis. Students completed a 30-item multiple-choice grammar test on simple present, simple past, and simple future tenses before and after six weekly Busuu-assisted treatments (two class periods per meeting). Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and a paired comparison, applying the Wilcoxon signed-rank test due to non-normal gain scores. The results showed a substantial increase in students’ tense mastery from pre-test (M = 20.18) to post-test (M = 28.23), with a significant pre–post difference (p < .001) and a very large effect (r ≈ 0.88). The findings suggest that structured mobile-assisted practice through Busuu, combined with teacher guidance and error-focused review, can serve as a practical strategy for revitalizing grammar pedagogy in Islamic junior high school contexts.

Abstract

This study examines women’s language features in global media discourse by analyzing Blackpink’s interview on the Zach Sang Show podcast. It explores how Lakoff’s theory operates in the context of multilingualism and global celebrity status. Using a descriptive qualitative method, data were collected from the transcription of Blackpink’s 2019 podcast interview and analyzed using Lakoff’s framework, and the stages of data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing proposed by Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña (2014). The findings show that eight out of ten women’s language features were identified in the conversation. Lexical hedges and fillers appeared most frequently (36%), while the second most frequently intensifiers (32%). And rising intonation, empty adjectives, precise color terms, super polite form, avoidance of strong swear words, and emphatic statement occurred less frequently. These results suggest that women’s language features function as strategic linguistic choices shaped by multilingualism and celebrity identity. By integrating Lakoff’s theory to global media and celebrity discourse, this study contributes to the development of sociolinguistic research.

Abstract

This article explores the noble values embedded within the "Angngaru" oral tradition of the Makassar culture, which serves as an important element of the region's intangible cultural heritage. "Angngaru" is a traditional form of oral expression practiced in Makassar society, characterized by poetic recitations that convey principles of honor, bravery, loyalty, and social harmony. Through a cultural and anthropological approach, this study aims to elucidate the symbolic meanings and philosophical insights that “Angngaru” imparts, reflecting the deeply rooted values of Makassar’s collective identity. The findings demonstrate that “Angngaru” not only strengthens communal bonds but also functions as a medium for transmitting ethical teachings and local wisdom across generations. By preserving “Angngaru”, Makassar society maintains a cultural foundation that supports moral integrity and resilience amid modernity's challenges. This study contributes to a deeper understanding of how oral traditions serve as vehicles for moral and ethical teachings in Indonesian cultural landscapes, specifically within the context of Makassar.

Abstract

This study analyzes how the Indonesian government constructs its fiscal narrative and financial identity through Sri Mulyani Indrawati’s 2025 Budget Speech. Using Fairclough’s three-dimensional Critical Discourse Analysis, it examines linguistic features, production processes, and the socio-political context surrounding the speech. The qualitative analysis focuses on lexical choices, modality, rhetorical structuring, intertextual references, and the institutional setting of the national budgeting process. The findings show that the speech functions as more than a fiscal report; it strategically shapes public understanding of state finance. Technical economic terminology is interwoven with greetings, moral cues, and nationalist references to project authority, responsibility, and cultural legitimacy. Institutional framing and references to established economic doctrines further reinforce credibility. The speech ultimately serves two purposes: to legitimize fiscal decisions before lawmakers and to cultivate public trust by stressing stability, resilience, and collective responsibility. This demonstrates how budget speeches construct coherent narratives that support policy direction and state authority.

Abstract

This research aims to analyze the types and meanings of metaphors found in selected poems by Chairil Anwar based on Goatly’s theory of metaphor. The objectives of this study are to identify the kinds of metaphors used and to interpret their meanings in each poem. This research employed a qualitative descriptive method. The data were collected from ten selected poems, namely Aku, Sajak Putih, Diponegoro, Penghidupan, Suara Malam, Catetan Tahun 1945, Aku Berada Kembali, Cintaku Jauh di Pulau, Senja di Pelabuhan Kecil, and Derai-derai Cemara. The data were analyzed by classifying the metaphors into active metaphor, subjective metaphor, asymmetric metaphor, dead metaphor, and mimetic metaphor according to Goatly’s framework. The findings show that Chairil Anwar dominantly uses active metaphors to express strong emotions, rebellion, struggle, and existential awareness. Subjective metaphors are frequently used to convey personal feelings and psychological conditions. Asymmetric metaphors reflect power relations, conflict, and life struggles, while dead metaphors indicate expressions that have become conventional in meaning. Mimetic metaphors are used to create imaginative and dramatic imagery in the poems. The analysis reveals that metaphors play an important role in strengthening meaning, emotional intensity, and poetic expression in Chairil Anwar’s works. This study contributes to a deeper understanding of metaphor analysis in literary studies, especially in Indonesian poetry. It is expected that this research can enrich readers’ comprehension of figurative language and provide references for future researchers who are interested in metaphor studies using Goatly’s theory.

Abstract

This research investigates the complex interplay between traditional oral literature and digital linguistics. Specifically, it analyzes the translation techniques applied to Umpasa and Umpama the ritualistic proverbs and poetry of the Batak Toba culture translated into English within the socio-cultural context of traditional wedding ceremonies. The study aims to describe the representation of cultural meanings and evaluate the maintenance or shift of traditional values when processed through the Large Language Model, Gemini AI. Adopting a descriptive qualitative approach, a corpus of 48 units of oral literature was meticulously collected through field observations in Samosir Regency and further validated by Raja Parhata to ensure cultural authenticity. The findings reveal 63 occurrences of specific translation techniques, with Established Equivalence emerging as the most dominant method (16 findings). This indicates a strategic priority toward functional clarity for a global audience. The analysis concludes that while a linguistic shift from esoteric, metaphorical language to explicit meanings is inevitable, the core philosophical pillars of Batak life Hagabeon, Hamoraon, and Hasangapon remain successfully preserved in the digital translation process.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the implementation of revitalizing the Betawi language at the elementary school (SD) and junior high school (SMP) levels in Jakarta through the integration of local culture in educational activities. The study employs a qualitative approach with a descriptive method to describe the practices of using the Betawi language in school learning contexts. Data were collected through classroom observations, interviews with teachers and students, and analysis of learning documents and school cultural activities. The results show that the policy of revitalization of the Betawi language is more effective when integrated into project-based learning, school cultural activities, and creative activities that incorporate elements of Betawi culture, such as art performances, role-playing, and daily communication practices. This approach has proven capable of increasing students’ interest, participation, and awareness of the Betawi language as part of their local cultural identity. However, its implementation of the revitalization program still faces several challenges, including the absence of a specific curriculum, limited teaching materials, lack of teacher training, and the influence of popular and global languages in students’ daily lives. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a strategy to include a structured curriculum or local content program, provide relevant teaching materials, improve teacher capacity, and utilize digital technology and social media as learning media. Sustainable policy support and collaboration among schools, government, and communities are essential factors in strengthening the revitalization of the Betawi language and maintaining the sustainability of local language as part of Jakarta’s cultural identity.

Abstract

This paper is an in-depth analysis of Helon Habila’s Oil on Water and Chimeka Garricks’ Tomorrow Died Yesterday. The study aims at showing the paradox of oil wealth in the Niger Delta. It argues that Eurocene and the myth of development intersect, in both novels, as an awful ideology of western corporations to get huge profit from exploitation, under the martial control of environment. Using a postcolonial ecocritical framework and qualitative textual analysis, the paper explores three major findings. First, Eurocene is not a distant epoch, but a current reality that links capitalism, ecological destruction, and social oppression. Second, the myth of development is rhetoric device to deceive local populations and legitimize ecological exploitation while enriching corrupt elites and western companies. Third, instead of prosperity, oil activities leave local communities with oil spills, gas flares, health hazards, the collapse of traditional livelihoods, worsening living conditions, and the displacement of entire communities. By dramatizing the social, cultural, and ecological costs of oil exploitation, Habila and Garricks contribute to a literary tradition that challenges oppression. The study concludes that African literature functions as a space of resistance, exposing the destructive colonial legacies, advocating, therefore, for ecological justice and for more equitable visions of development.
