Abstract

The difference between the writing and pronunciation of the final consonants in Korean language has been considered as one of the causes that makes students learning Korean as a foreign language (KFL) find it difficult to pronounce Korean words correctly. This descriptive qualitative study aimed to investigate the beginner students’ pronunciation of the final consonants in Korean. Data were collected from 15 students of the Korean Language Education Department, FPBS, UPI, who were asked to pronounce 10 Korean words with final consonants. PRAAT application was used to analyze pronunciation errors. The results show that the percentage of final consonant error pronunciation is 37%. Based on the analysis, participanting students who have high GPA, knowledge of pronunciation theory, and Indonesian as a native language pronounced final consonants better. The data also shows that students’ knowledge of vocabulary was not always linear with pronunciation realization. It depended on the phonological and morphological environments of the vocabulary. These analysis results were then used to inform the design of our flipped classroom model for the implementation of blended learning on Korean final consonant pronunciation.

Abstract

Symbolism, as a key literary device, allows authors to convey deeper meanings through objects, characters, and events, enriching the narrative and engaging readers on an emotional and intellectual level. This article explores the use of symbolism in three modernist short stories: Sherwood Anderson’s “Hands”, James Joyce’s “Clay”, and Ernest Hemingway’s “Cat in the Rain”. The research employs a qualitative descriptive design with a focus on textual analysis. The analysis is guided by theories of symbolism, psychoanalysis, and postcolonial criticism, supported by scholarly sources. Through close reading and thematic categorization, the study identifies symbols found in three short stories. Hands’ symbolisms are emotional expression, social misunderstanding and condemnation, and connection and isolation. Clay has the symbolisms of death and stagnation, disappointment and invisibility, and forgotten dreams. Cat in the Rain, on the other hand, contains symbolisms such as unfulfilled desire and emotional need, confinement and disconnection, and femininity and identity. The findings of this study show that symbolism in the three short stories not only functions as an aesthetic element, but also as a means to reveal the characters' inner conflicts and subtle social criticism. The symbols enrich the reader's understanding of the themes of loneliness, identity search, and social injustice at the core of modernist narratives. In conclusion, the use of symbolism in these works is effective in conveying complex messages that transcend the boundaries of the text, and demonstrates how modernist literature responds to social change and individual psychological conditions in a profound and meaningful way.

Abstract

This study examined the challenges encountered by fourth-semester students in the English Department of STBA JIA during text translation in the Translation class. Additionally, the competency requirements of students for these tasks should be identified based on translation process translation challenges identified by many experts, and skills outlined by Dewi (2019). This research employs qualitative methodologies utilizing techniques for interviews with six students. The research findings lack knowledge and context and multiple meanings/ambiguity. In the next stage, transfer - conveying the meaning of source text into the target text, the challenges involve choosing the proper technique, method, strategy, or procedure and addressing cultural differences. In the subsequent restructuring phase, the challenge comes from the linguistic structure of the target text. The competency requirements of students must be considered, considering the challenges identified. The competencies needed to overcome those challenges are subject/ knowledge competence, terminological competence, transfer competence, cultural competence, and target language competence. While previous studies have discussed general difficulties faced by EFL students in translation, few have specifically examined how these challenges correspond to each phase of the translation process. The findings show that translation classes should not just focus on language accuracy, but also on increasing students' cultural awareness and subject-specific knowledge. Therefore, including domain-based vocabulary drills and providing Computer-Assisted Translation (CAT) tools into the curriculum is highly suggested.

Abstract

This research is motivated by the fact that translators often face various difficulties in the process of translating from Mandarin to Indonesian and vice versa. The complexity of language and differing cultural contexts are the main factors affecting the accuracy and success of translation. The purpose of this study is to identify and describe the perceptions of translators in Aceh regarding the difficulties they face in translating Mandarin-language texts. This research uses a qualitative descriptive method with data collection techniques through interviews with several active translators residing and working in the Aceh region. The results of the study show that translators face various difficulties classified into two categories: intralingual and extralingual factors. Intralingual factors include difficulties in translating idioms and typical expressions, the use of slang, and the translator's limited knowledge of various topics or specific fields. Meanwhile, extralingual factors include illegible handwriting and the use of non-standard dialects by native Mandarin speakers, which often complicate the interpretation process. These findings provide a deeper insight into the contextual and cultural difficulties in Mandarin translation practice. Moreover, the results of this study are expected to serve as an important reference in the development of relevant translation training and curriculum in linguistically diverse regions such as Aceh, in order to enhance the competence and professionalism of translators.

Abstract

The presence of androgyny in literature, particularly in the context of feminism, offers an understanding of gender equality by demonstrating androgyny’s ability to break away from patriarchy and serve as a form of gender expression. Furthermore, this study aims to explore the oppression and struggles faced by Jo March in Louisa May Alcott’s Little Women (2018) as androgynous woman. The source of data in this study is from Louisa May Alcott’s Little Women (2018). The theory that is used in this study is radical-libertarian Feminism from Tong and Botts (2018) and characteristics of bitch from Freeman in Fahs’ book (2020). This study uses the theory of Miles & Huberman (2014) to conduct a qualitative analysis of the data, which includes data condensation, data display, and drawing and verifying conclusion. The data is collected from reading the novel Little Women by Louisa May Alcott (2018). The data of this study are derived from the monologue, dialogue between the characters, and the author’s narration. The first point of this study is finding out three types of oppression experienced by Jo March in Louisa May Alcott’s Little Women (2018) as androgynous woman such as mental oppression due to lack of freedom of choice, verbal oppression due to lack of freedom of voice, and social oppression due to lack of fashion. The second point of this study is knowing the result about Jo March’s struggle which reflects radical-libertarian feminism namely struggle for the idea and struggle for androgynous woman. The summary of the findings highlights how Jo can confront oppression in her patriarchy environment by becoming an androgynous woman who refuses to conform to traditional female norms in society, such as being a tomboy, refusing to marry, and not influencing the way traditional women behaves or dresses in general.

Abstract

Myth is an important context for societies to negotiate the relationship between humans, nature and values, based on a comparative literary analysis of mythological animals in Eastern and Western Traditions. In Eastern (Asian) traditions mythological figures such as Antaboga, Nyai Roro Kidul and Barong are considered ontological mediators and manifestations of the living ecological order. In Western traditions, by contrast, they are constructed as enemies, monsters or as existential threats to civilization in opposition. In these stories, mythological creatures are ecological boundaries, not hostile boundaries. Such traditions are diametrically opposed to the dominant Western literary paradigm, Beowulf, Moby-Dick and Argonaut, which prioritizes the conquest of monsters and the realization of narrative closure through conquest and control. Within the theoretical framework of this article, carefully grounded in literary form, temporality and the development of the literary canon, legendary creatures serve as vehicles for diverse perceptions of nature. One is founded on dominance and abstraction, the other on reciprocity and moderation. Eastern stories are structured in cycles. Nature’s balance is a dynamic and fragile process. There is no ultimate victory, and it must always be preserved. Meanwhile Western stories are linear and teleological and move toward a definitive end (such as possession or accumulation of wealth) once ecological barriers are removed.

Abstract

The advertisement “L'Oréal pour le futur” is an advertisement aired by L'Oréal on YouTube with a nature theme. This study focuses on ecolinguistics analysis of the advertisement “L'Oréal pour le futur” using Charles Sanders Peirce's semiotics, which is the study of signs. Peirce identified a triadic relationship in semiotics. This study is a qualitative descriptive research. The purpose of this study is to identify the ecological elements in the advertisement that are interpreted semiotically according to Peirce's semiotics theory and to understand how the advertisement uses semiotics strategies to build a brand image that cares about the environment. Based on the analysis conducted using Peirce's trichotomy, signs were found in the advertisement that indicate L'Oréal's commitment and concern for the environment in its sustainable production process. This is evidenced by the commitment figures mentioned in the advertisement as steps the company will take, the use of production materials that prioritize environmentally friendly concepts, and concern for the energy sources used. Thus, from an ecolinguistics perspective, the advertisement “L’Oréal pour le futur” is an advertisement that contains ecological values from the company's commitment to its concern for sustainable environmental practices.

Abstract

The Peksi Bayan text is a fairy tale text from the written tradition produced by Pakualaman in the 19th century. The text volume is relatively short (one canto) but was written repeatedly in five manuscripts, this shows a uniqueness because the main corpus, the Bayan Budiman text, is told at length in the form of a frame story. With the presence of copies of the Peksi Bayan text, this research focuses on revealing the message of the writing of the text. The theories used are philology and narrative structure. Philology is used to approach the text written in Javanese language and script, while the narrative structure used is the Tzvetan Todorov model which aims to reveal the meaning of verbal, syntactic, and semantic aspects. The results are text edits and translations as well as the message of the writing of the text, namely the hope of the Pakualaman dynasty for its young generation to have the main character in the field of leadership (learning to listen and consider suggestions) and as objects of leadership (to carry out and obey orders). Practically, the results of this research can be used as reading material or learning materials in schools.

Abstract

This study examines public perceptions of public versus private schools in Indonesia using user-generated content from Quora. Parents face a difficult decision when choosing between Indonesia's large number of public (7,396) and private (7,049) senior high schools. Thirty answers to the question "Apa perbedaan yang signifikan antara sekolah negeri dan sekolah swasta?" (What are the significant differences between public and private schools?) were analyzed using discourse analysis to identify the key distinctions between these two types of schools. The investigation identifies three key factors that influence the narratives around these two kinds of schools: teacher quality and professionalism, school facilities, and cost and accessibility. The results show that public schools are regarded for their affordability and socioeconomic inclusion, whereas private schools are perceived to offer better facilities and more qualified teachers. This study contributes to the ongoing conversations around educational equity and quality by highlighting the influence of online platforms on educational decision- making and the complexity of the Indonesian educational system.

Abstract

This study explores the role of inclusive environmental-based education in preserving the Sundanese language at Sekolah Alam Pangandaran, West Java, Indonesia. As a local language rich in cultural values and regional identity, Sundanese faces the risk of erosion due to globalization and the dominance of national and foreign languages. The research aims to investigate how integrated learning approaches—combining linguistic, cultural, and ecological elements—can support the revitalization and sustainability of the Sundanese language among young learners. This study addresses a gap in the existing literature concerning the integration of inclusive environmental-based education and regional language revitalization. While previous studies have separately examined environmental pedagogy and local language preservation, limited research has explored how nature-based inclusive schooling models function as a medium for sustaining the Sundanese language. Using a qualitative descriptive method, data were collected through interviews with educators, classroom observations, and document analysis. The study collected data from 15 interview participants (5 educators and 10 students), conducted 6 classroom observation sessions, and analyzed 8 institutional documents, resulting in 29 qualitative data sources. Findings show that the implementation of nature-based experiential learning, combined with the consistent use of Sundanese in daily communication and local cultural practices, significantly contributes to increasing students’ awareness and proficiency in the language. The inclusive aspect of the curriculum, which accommodates students of diverse backgrounds and learning needs, further reinforces a sense of belonging and cultural identity. This study underscores the potential of contextual education models in sustaining regional languages and promoting cultural resilience among future generations.
