Abstract

Vocabulary mastery constitutes a foundational pillar in English language learning for young learners at Islamic elementary schools (Madrasah Ibtidaiyah/MI). However, linear and non-repetitive vocabulary instruction frequently constrains learners from achieving adequate vocabulary mastery. This study investigates the effectiveness of the Recycled Input Technique (RIT) operationalized through four sequential stages exposure, retrieval, recycling, and consolidation on the vocabulary mastery of Grade IV students at MI DDI Ujung Lare Parepare. Employing a pre-experimental design with a one-group pretest–posttest model, this study selected 25 students with complete paired data from a total enrolment of 28 fourth-grade students through simple random sampling. The target vocabulary comprised 20 items from the Daily Activities unit of the My Next Words Grade 4 textbook. The assessment instrument consisted of a 20-item vocabulary test covering multiple-choice, word-matching, and sentence-completion tasks. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and a paired-samples t-test. The analysis revealed a mean score improvement from 73.80 in the pretest to 93.20 in the posttest, a gain of 19.40 points, with t(24) = 7.41, p < .001, and a large practical effect (Cohen's d = 1.48). The proportion of students achieving the 'Excellent' category rose from 8% to 80%, while the 'Poor' category was completely eliminated, decreasing from 20% to 0%. These findings substantiate that systematically designed recycled input significantly enhances vocabulary mastery in EFL contexts at the Islamic primary school level, with particularly pronounced gains observed among initially low-performing learners.

Abstract

This study examines the implementation of Lean and Agile supply chain practices in the Indonesian manufacturing sector, where firms face increasing pressure to balance operational efficiency and responsiveness in dynamic market environments. The study aims to review the application of Lean and Agile supply chain strategies across different industrial and regional contexts in Indonesia, as well as to identify the role of Agility in improving operational performance. A Literature Review approach based on the PRISMA framework was employed using literature collected from Google Scholar, Scopus, and ScienceDirect through Publish or Perish (PoP). The search covered studies published between 2015 and 2026 using keywords related to Lean supply chain, Agile supply chain, Leagility, and Indonesian manufacturing. Following the screening and eligibility process, 21 studies were included in the final review. The findings reveal substantial variation in the adoption of Lean and Agile supply chain practices across industries and regions. The automotive sector demonstrates the highest maturity in Lean–Agile integration through structured and efficiency-oriented operations, while the pharmaceutical industry is dominated by Agile-oriented strategies due to high demand uncertainty and responsiveness requirements. In contrast, agro-industrial SMEs exhibit limited capability to balance efficiency and flexibility, particularly in regions with infrastructural and resource constraints. The review further highlights Agility as a critical integrative capability that enables firms to align Lean efficiency with Agile responsiveness, thereby enhancing operational performance. Overall, the study concludes that isolated implementation of Lean or Agile practices is insufficient for sustainable supply chain competitiveness, and manufacturing firms should instead develop integrated supply chain capabilities that simultaneously support efficiency, flexibility, and responsiveness.

Abstract

Lesson preparation is an essential aspect of effective teaching because it enables teachers to organize instructional strategies, teaching materials, and learning resources to achieve educational objectives. However, limited studies have explored how these components are integrated simultaneously in teachers’ lesson preparation practices within EFL contexts. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate how English teachers prepare classroom instruction, integrate instructional strategies, teaching materials, and technology, and address the challenges encountered during the preparation process. This qualitative case study was conducted at SMA Negeri 6 Sidrap and involved three English teachers selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and analysed using thematic analysis proposed by Braun and Clarke (2006). The findings revealed that teachers prepared classroom instruction through flexible and contextual lesson planning by adapting instructional strategies, teaching materials, and classroom activities to students’ needs and classroom conditions. Teachers also integrated technology such as YouTube, LCD projectors, Smart TVs, and internet-based resources to support learning. However, the integration of instructional strategies, teaching materials, and technology remained limited and inconsistent because these components were often implemented separately rather than systematically integrated into a cohesive instructional design. In addition, teachers encountered several challenges, including unstable internet connectivity, diverse student abilities, classroom management issues, and limited preparation time. The study concludes that lesson preparation is an adaptive pedagogical process influenced by classroom realities, teachers’ competence, and institutional support. These findings highlight the importance of continuous professional development and stronger support for technology integration to enhance lesson preparation practices in EFL classrooms.

Abstract

Conversational implicature is a pragmatic phenomenon in which speakers convey implicit meanings that can only be interpreted through context, shared knowledge, and situational understanding. In movie dialogue, conversational implicature functions as a linguistic device for character development. This study aims to examine the impact of conversational implicature on Miss Peregrine’s characterization in “Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children” movie. Using a qualitative method, this study analyses Miss Peregrine’s utterances containing conversational implicature as the research data. The analysis based on Grice’s (1945) theory of conversational implicature and Zhang’s (2025) theory of characterization, which encompasses the aspects of identity, attitude and evaluation, social relations, and power. The findings indicate that conversational implicature plays a significant role in portraying Miss Peregrine as a wise, protective, strategic, nurturing, and authoritative character. Miss Peregrine’s regulates circumstances, upholds her authority, maintains the group’s emotional stability, and builds social relationship with the peculiar children by using ambiguity, indirect utterances, and information restriction. The results reveal that the aspect of power is the most dominant in Miss Peregrine’s Peregrine characterization. Therefore, this study highlights that conversational implicature not only functions as a strategy for conveying implicit meanings but also acts as a linguistic mechanism that contributes to character development in movie dialogue.

Abstract

This study investigates the intricate relationship between environmental identity and adolescence interpersonal dynamics within Wendelin van Draanen's novel "Flipped," examining how the natural world shapes psychological well-being and social connections through the framework of Environmental Identity Theory (Clayton, 2003) . The research aims to analyze the portrayal of the sycamore tree as a key environmental element influencing the protagonist's psychological states, and how her unique environmental identity shapes adolescent relationships. Furthermore, it explores how differing perceptions and treatments of the environment by various adolescent characters manifest distinct psychological impacts, contributing to conflicts and connections, as interpreted through the lens of Environmental Identity Theory. Employing a qualitative, text-based approach, this review article analyzes the novel "Flipped" as the primary research subject. Data collection involved close reading and thematic analysis of the novel's text, focusing on dialogue, character descriptions, and narrative events related to environmental interactions, attitudes, and the formation of self in relation to nature. The analysis reveals that the sycamore tree serves as a significant anchor for the protagonist's developing environmental identity, fostering deep emotional responses that influence her interpersonal interactions. It also highlights how varied environmental consciousness, shaped by differing environmental identities, leads to divergent psychological impacts among characters, influencing their conflicts and the development of connections. This research contributes to understanding how environmental identity formation in adolescence, as depicted in literature, significantly impacts social relationships and psychological well-being.

Abstract

This study investigates addition errors in Indonesian academic writing, particularly unnecessary linguistic elements that create ineffective sentence constructions. The research aims to identify and analyze patterns of addition errors found in students’ academic texts. This study employed a qualitative descriptive method using documentation and note-taking techniques. The data consisted of 24 ungrammatical sentences collected from Indonesian academic writings. The findings revealed eight dominant patterns of addition errors: reduplication with banyak, banyaknya, beberapa, jumlah, and seluruh; subordinate clause construction jika…, maka…; addition of the preposition pada; and addition of the conjunction yang. The results indicate that students frequently produce redundant grammatical structures by combining plural markers with reduplication, inserting unnecessary conjunctions, and adding excessive prepositions. These errors reduce sentence effectiveness, clarity, and conciseness in academic writing. The study concludes that addition errors are mainly influenced by spoken language interference, overgeneralization of grammatical rules, and limited understanding of formal Indonesian syntax. Therefore, academic writing instruction should emphasize effective sentence construction, grammatical economy, and editing strategies to minimize unnecessary linguistic additions in scholarly writing.

Abstract

This study aimed to determine whether TikTok videos can increase seventh-grade students’ vocabulary mastery at MTsN 2 Kota Palu. A quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design was adopted to compare two existing classes. Class VII E functioned as the experimental class, while Class VII F served as the control class. The total population consisted of 272 seventh-grade students. Although each selected class had 34 students, only 20 students from each class were included in the analysis because they completed all stages of the study. In the experimental class, TikTok videos served as the main medium for presenting vocabulary materials, whereas the control class followed conventional instruction. Vocabulary achievement was measured through tests consisting of multiple-choice, matching, and completion items, which were given before and after the learning process. The result showed that the experimental class achieved a higher score increase, from 15.47 in the pre-test to 83.29 in the post-test. Meanwhile, the control class increased from 14.64 to 73.29. The paired-samples t-test generated a p-value lower than 0.05 (p < 0.001), indicating that Ha was accepted and Ho was rejected. Therefore, TikTok videos can be considered effective in increasing the vocabulary mastery of seventh-grade students at MTsN 2 Kota Palu.

Abstract

Desire often produces psychological conflict and identity crisis, especially when an individual’s sense of self depends on social ideals and hierarchical authority. Using Lacanian psychoanalytic register theory, this study examines the consequences of the unfulfilled desire of Stevens, the main character in The Remains of the Day by Kazuo Ishiguro. The study explores how Stevens’ desire is constructed through Imaginary identification with ideal figures such as his father, and structured within the Symbolic order of professionalism, dignity, and loyalty to Lord Darlington. This study analyses key narrative events, dialogues, and character reflections using a qualitative descriptive method and content analysis to reveal how Stevens’ identity is formed and sustained by external authority. The findings demonstrate that Stevens’ desire is shaped not by personal fulfilment but by external ideals that structure his Symbolic identity and behaviour. Regret then emerges as a consequence of the collapse of the Symbolic framework. Lacanian theory can conceptualize this moment as the gap between Stevens’ ideal and his actual life.

Abstract

This study demonstrates that King Lear can be read as an ecological tragedy in which human authority is destabilized through the interaction of dark ecological forces and Foucauldian power structures. By applying Timothy Morton’s concept of dark ecology and Michel Foucault’s theory of discourse, this research reveals that nature in the play was not merely symbolic but actively participates in the collapse of anthropocentrism. This article was a descriptive-qualitative study using a literature review method, with reference to several supporting sources throughout the research process. The primary data used here are narrative scripts from Shakespeare's King Lear drama series and events that explicitly mention nature as a significant narrative device and setting. This research showed that dark ecology functioned as a form of deconstruction of human identity in King Lear. From Michel Foucault’s perspective, anthropocentric authority couldn’t fully dominate ecological reality, as identity itself was produced through social systems and relations of power. Consequently, when those systems collapse, human identity also became unstable and fragmented. In line with this view, Timothy Morton argues that the collapse of anthropocentrism in King Lear signals the loss of humanity’s position as the sole center of knowledge and meaning within the world.

Abstract

This study examines how English proficiency is discussed in the #KaburAjaDulu movement on X in Indonesia. Using Critical Discourse Analysis, the study examines 30 public tweets selected through the X Advanced Search feature with the keyword combinations #KaburAjaDulu and bahasa Inggris, English, IELTS, and TOEFL, filtered to top tweets from 2025 to 2026. Data analysis used Van Dijk's three-dimensional model, namely text structure, socio-cognitive representations, and social context. The results show that English is seen as escape capital, meaning it is viewed less as a means of communication and more as a tool for escaping perceived problems in Indonesia. Three main patterns appear, namely English as a requirement for moving abroad, as an investment in a hoped-for future identity, and as a resource that is not equally available across social classes. The study also identifies contrasting perspectives that emphasize the structural barriers and unequal opportunities faced by many individuals. These results suggest that EFL education in Indonesia should focus more on critical language awareness, as social media shapes learners' perceptions of the value of English.
