Abstract

This research aims to analyze idiom translation strategies in the Netflix subtitles of the film Habibie and Ainun and to compare them with the machine translation generated by DeepSeek-V3.2 based on Baker’s (1992) classification. Idioms expressions are one of the most problematic areas in audiovisual translation due to their literalness and cultural embodiment. Descriptive qualitative is used as the research methods in this research with 22 Indonesian idioms classified according to Fernando (1996) to which a comparative analysis was made investigate the use and diffusion of translation strategies, namely idioms of similar meaning and form, idioms of similar meaning but different form, paraphrase, and omission. The results suggest that the paraphrase strategy is also the dominant one across both human and machine translations, reflecting a stronger emphasis on achieving meaning understanding rather than idiomatic form. The strategies of idioms of similar meaning and form and idioms of similar meaning but different form in the TL are tendencies rather than strict rules, and they vary from case to case depending on the existence of idiomatic equivalents in Arabic, while omission is not identified this indicates that the source idiom are preserved for coherence. The results also show that human translators consider the narrative setting and emotional meaning, while machine translation focuses mainly on semantic equivalence. This study offers to Indonesian–Arabic translation studies and demonstrates the effectiveness of AI-based translation systems in controlling contextual and culture-specific idioms.

Abstract

Being in disaster-risk areas frequently affected by floods, landslides, and climate change, schools increasingly seek age-appropriate ways to introduce environmental awareness while sustaining meaningful early English exposure. However, early-grade EFL classrooms often have limited resources to integrate eco-centric themes into instruction. This study aimed to establish expert-based validity evidence for an interactive eco-themed e-storybook series designed for Indonesian Grade 1 EFL learners. Using a two-round modified Delphi approach, 12 experts (teachers, language specialists, and multimedia specialists) evaluated the series through structured questionnaires and open-ended feedback, followed by targeted revisions after Round 1. Quantitative judgments were analyzed using content-validity indices (I-CVI and S-CVI/Ave) and Aiken’s V to estimate item relevance and agreement, while qualitative comments were analyzed thematically to identify revision priorities. After revision, expert judgments converged, indicating that the series is linguistically accessible for beginners, pedagogically feasible for routine-based classroom use, ecologically interpretable through child-friendly actions, and multimodally coherent when audio and interactive features remain purposeful. Qualitative feedback prioritized stronger text–image alignment for key expressions, simplified page layouts to minimize overload, improved replay and accessible glossary supports, and child-safety safeguards (e.g., ad-free, break reminder). Overall, the findings support the series as a validated instructional resource oriented to integrating early EFL learning with eco-literacy meanings.

Abstract

This study examines the defense mechanisms and narcissistic behavior of the main character in R. F. Kuang’s novel Yellowface (2023) using Karen Horney’s concepts of the idealized self and neurotic needs, as well as Christopher Lasch’s ideas about cultural narcissism. This research explores how June protects herself from envy and guilt by using various forms of self-deception. It also explores how the social media-driven publishing world shapes June’s narcissistic behavior. This research uses qualitative-descriptive methods and deep text analysis. The focus of the study is on the emotional insecurity, the need for recognition, and the dependence on public opinion. Findings show that June creates an idealized image of herself as a successful writer and maintains it through self-deception. At the same time, the publishing industry that focuses on visibility, approval, and performance affects her by pushing her to judge herself and her value through attention and compliments. When this recognition is lost, she feels anxiety, fear, and emotional instability. This study suggests that self-deception and narcissistic behavior in Yellowface are not just personal weaknesses, but psychological strategies created by internal conflict and a competitive cultural environment.

Abstract

This study investigates how sustainability messages are represented in an English as a Foreign Language (EFL) textbook for Indonesian elementary learners and the extent to which these messages reflect SDG/ESD priorities. Using qualitative content analysis of multimodal content with particular attention to visual illustrations, the study examines the Grade IV textbook My Next Words to identify recurring environmental themes and the sustainability practices promoted. The findings show that sustainability is primarily framed through everyday, learner-accessible routines, including reducing single-use plastic during shopping; maintaining cleanliness at home and school; choosing low-impact mobility (e.g., cycling); saving energy by turning off lights; and caring for plants through watering and tree planting, which collectively model ecological responsibility for young learners. However, the coverage remains uneven: more systemic sustainability dimensions, especially renewable energy literacy, structured waste management (sorting and recycling routines), and explicit, solution-oriented climate change learning, are limited, resulting in sustainability being communicated more as individual moral behavior than as interconnected environmental challenges requiring informed understanding and collective action. The study recommends strengthening future textbook editions by integrating more balanced sustainability dimensions through age-appropriate tasks, projects, and visuals linked to local contexts, alongside teacher support to help learners move from “doing” sustainability to understanding its broader environmental rationale, thereby enhancing environmental literacy and SDG/ESD-aligned learning in primary EFL education in Indonesia.
