Abstract

This study was motivated by the portrayal of gender discrimination against women in the film The Exchange. The study aims to describe the forms of gender discrimination and to uncover the meanings behind these representations. The method used is qualitative descriptive analysis based on Roland Barthes’s theory of semiotics, which includes an analysis of denotation, connotation, and myth. The research data consist of scenes, dialogues, and visual elements that illustrate practices of gender discrimination in the film The Exchange. Data collection was conducted through screenshots and notes on scenes relevant to the research focus. The results show that gender discrimination is represented through various forms of injustice experienced by female characters, both within the family and in the workplace. These forms of discrimination include the disregard for women’s abilities, unequal treatment, negative stereotypes, restrictions on social roles, and a lack of recognition of women’s rights and needs. This study also found that gender discrimination is not only perpetrated by male characters but is also reproduced by female characters who have internalized patriarchal values. Through these portrayals, the film The Exchange illustrates the consequences or impacts of discrimination that can affect gender relations and diminish women’s status in social life.

Abstract

This study applies Greimas’s (1987) actantial model to analyze how the novel encodes revolutionary consciousness as a structural process. The novel is analyzed using a descriptive qualitative method from the perspective of the protagonist, Salama, based on the axes of desire, transmission, and power across three narrative phases. The research reveals three actantial shifts across the phases: the Sender evolves from an external obligation to a fully self-determined desire, the Receiver expands from self-exclusion to a collective inclusion, and the Opponent evolves from external political forces to a natural obstacle. These shifts correspond structurally to the stages of revolutionary consciousness theorized by Gramsci (1971) and Fanon (1963): subalternity, the phase of struggle, and the phase of agency. The findings reveal that the novel thematizes revolution and structurally defines it; each phase of awareness is expressed as a specific and recognizable actantial configuration. Khawf is the structural connection between the paralysis of Phase 2 and the liberation of Phase 3, and each level of consciousness is represented by a specific actantial configuration. The lemon tree planted in the epilogue marks Salama’s structural emergence as a self-determined subject. This study contributes the first structural-political reading of the novel, addressing a gap in scholarship that has concentrated mostly on romance, psychoanalysis, nationalism, and identity.

Abstract

This study aims to analyse symbolic language in the construction of fantasy in Lily Murray’s novel Sleeping Beauty using Roland Barthes’s theory of semiotics. The study focuses on the representation of magical elements and curses as literal signs, as well as the function of symbolic language in constructing fantasy. The method used is qualitative research with a semiotic approach. Data in the form of words, phrases, sentences, and descriptions containing fantasy symbols are analysed through two stages: the primary modelling system (denotation) and the secondary modelling system (connotation and myth). The results of the study indicate that symbols such as a green light, a spinning wheel, a spindle, a prick, a curse, a green flame, thorns, the dragon’s roar, transformation, a kiss, spun gold (golden hair), a bird, lightning, a shadow, and fire function as literal signs that construct the fantasy world. At the connotative level, these symbols extend beyond their literal meanings and function as cultural myths commonly found in fairy tales and fantasy narratives, such as representing fate, punishment, transformation, and danger. These findings indicate that the fantasy in Sleeping Beauty is constructed through a system of signs that reflects the cultural values and imagination of medieval European society.

Abstract

Social media has become an influential platform in shaping beauty standards by often promoting idealized and unattainable representations of physical appearance. In response to this phenomenon, the wabi-sabi trend on TikTok has emerged as an alternative narrative that celebrates imperfection, incompleteness, and authenticity. This study aims to examine how imperfection is represented in the wabi-sabi trend on TikTok and to identify the themes through which users reinterpret characteristics commonly perceived as flaws. This research uses thematic analysis following Braun and Clarke’s (2006) framework. Data were collected from TikTok videos under the hashtag #wabisabi that utilized the original King of the Hill audio associated with the trend. From an initial dataset of 100 videos, 20 videos met the engagement criteria. The findings reveal five major themes: feature deviations from beauty ideals, body imperfections as beauty, biological uniqueness, interpersonal relationships, and nature’s imperfection. These themes demonstrate that users celebrate various forms of imperfection. The study concludes that the wabi-sabi trend functions as a space that challenges beauty standards by embracing authenticity, diversity, and appreciation of imperfection.

Abstract

Oral presentations are one of the most challenging speaking activities for EFL learners, but assessment in most Indonesian high school classes is still teacher-centered, which limits students’ active participation in the evaluation process. This study investigates the implementation of peer assessment in EFL oral presentation activities at senior high school in South Sulawesi, Indonesia, and explores students’ perceptions of its use. Using a qualitative case study design, this research involved one EFL teacher and 18 grade XI students as participants. Data were collected through classroom observations, semi-structured interviews with six purposively selected students, and document analysis of completed peer assessment rubric form.  The findings show that peer assessment was successfully carried out through three structured phases: preparation before the assessment, active participation during the presentation, and filling out the rubric along with collecting written feedback. A simple rubric focusing on three aspects Delivery, Content, and Language Use proved to be practical and manageable for senior high school students. However, its implementation also presented some challenges, including friendship bias, limited evaluator knowledge, divided attention, and difficulties in writing feedback in English. Despite these challenges, student generally perceived peer assessment positively, reporting reduced speaking anxiety, enhanced self-reflection, and increased motivation to improve their English-speaking skills. These findings show that peer assessment, when supported with clear guidance and students-friendly rubrics, can be an effective and sustainable formative assessment strategy in EFL oral presentation classes, especially in large classes where personalized teacher feedback is limited.

Abstract

Song lyrics, as a widely consumed form of popular discourse, play a significant role in constructing gender representations and power relations through specific linguistic choices. Yet, limited research has examined female agency through an approach that integrates systemic functional and critical discourse perspectives. This study aims to examine how female agency is discursively constructed in the song "Man I Need" by Olivia Dean through the integration of M. A. K. Halliday's (1994) Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL) and Sara Mills' (1995) Feminist Critical Discourse Analysis, within Fairclough's (1995) three-dimensional CDA framework. Employing a descriptive qualitative research design, this study analyses 20 selected lines comprising 34 clauses, organized into three thematic groups based on their discursive functions. The findings reveal that the three SFL meta functions (ideational, interpersonal, and textual) converge to consistently position the female persona in the subject position, while the male partner is systematically placed in the object position across all thematic groups, giving rise to three analytically distinct forms of female agency. These findings demonstrate that female agency in this song is not merely a thematic message but a discursively constructed achievement, systematically produced through the language's own architecture.

Abstract

Blueprinting, or a table of specifications, is essential in question preparation because it aligns test items with learning objectives, content coverage, cognitive levels, item formats, and scoring weight. In practice, however, it is still often treated as an administrative document rather than an assessment-design tool. This study analyzed English teachers’ difficulties in applying blueprinting to question preparation at SMP Negeri 1 Limboro, the factors contributing to these difficulties, and the strategies teachers used to overcome them. Using a descriptive qualitative design, data were collected from five English teachers through semi-structured interviews, observation, and document analysis of blueprint forms and teacher-made tests, and were analyzed thematically. The findings show that teachers’ difficulties centered on limited conceptual understanding of blueprinting, difficulty formulating measurable indicators, uncertainty in distributing cognitive levels, weak alignment between items and learning objectives, time constraints, and limited training or institutional support. To cope with these difficulties, teachers relied on peer discussion, adaptation of existing templates, online examples, and workshops. Overall, these difficulties point to a broader issue of teacher assessment literacy shaped by workload and school-level assessment culture. Practical training, collaborative item review, and simple blueprint templates are recommended to improve the quality of teacher-made questions.

Abstract

Code-mixing is a common phenomenon among bilingual and multilingual speakers: a person inserts elements from another language into their speech, not because the situation demands it, but because it simply feels more fitting. This study examines the forms and functions of code-mixing in conversations among students of the Indonesian Language and Literature Education Study Program, Universitas Negeri Surabaya, particularly when they discuss academic assignments. Three questions guide this research: what forms of code-mixing appear, which type occurs most frequently, and what pragmatic functions it serves in informal academic discussions. The study employs a qualitative descriptive approach from a sociolinguistic standpoint, with data drawn from two naturally occurring conversation sessions through audio recording, observation, and field notes. The findings show that the most dominant form is inner code-mixing the insertion of Javanese elements into Indonesian speech broken down into word insertions (63%), phrase insertions (27%), and clause insertions (10%). Four pragmatic functions were identified: facilitating informal communication, marking group solidarity and identity, providing emphatic stress, and clarifying complex arguments. The conclusion is simple but significant: code-mixing is not evidence of limited language ability. In student discussions, it is a choice deliberate, purposeful, and effective.

Abstract

Speaking skill is an essential competence in English language learning; however, it remains a challenge for many students, particularly in terms of fluency, confidence, and limited opportunities for real-life practice. With the advancement of digital technology, ChatGPT Voice has emerged as an alternative learning medium that allows students to practice speaking in a more flexible and accessible way. This study aims to explore the perceptions of students from the English Education Department of Tadulako University toward the use of ChatGPT Voice as an English speaking practice tool. This research employs a qualitative approach with narrative analysis, involving students selected through snowball sampling. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and analyzed by identifying patterns of experiences and meanings constructed by the participants. The findings reveal that students’ perceptions of ChatGPT Voice are generally positive, as the tool provides a comfortable and low-pressure learning environment that encourages active speaking practice, reduces anxiety, increases confidence, and supports linguistic development such as fluency, vocabulary, and pronunciation through repeated interaction and feedback. However, students also recognize several limitations, particularly the lack of authentic human interaction, including emotional expression and natural conversational dynamics. Therefore, ChatGPT Voice is not perceived as a replacement for real communication, but rather as a supplementary tool that is used independently, selectively, and strategically in developing students’ speaking skills.
