Abstract

The phenomenon of code-switching, or translanguaging, has evolved within the field of linguistics, particularly in the context of bilingualism. Researchers have explored the use of the first language (L1) in second language (L2) classrooms from various perspective. This study explores students’ attitudes toward using L1 in EFL classrooms and its relationship with translanguaging characteristics, frequency, and factors including proficiency levels and gender. Based on Poplack’s (1980) theory, the study examines how highly language proficient bilinguals engage in translanguaging. This study involves 49 participants from an Indonesian EFL program using a survey-based research design. Data collection methods encompass Likert Scale surveys and open-ended questionnaires. The result reveals that students had positive attitudes toward translanguaging, considering it a natural practice for bilinguals that should be allowed in L2 classrooms. However, the study found that the students showing neutral perceptions that the practice of translanguaging did indicate the students’ lack of linguistics proficiency and gender. This led to the meaning that the statements were true without being influenced with the participants' subjectivity. This study also proves the hypothesis which stated that bilinguals who are highly proficient in both languages (L1 and L2) are generally better at translanguaging.Keywords: EFL classroom; translanguaging; correlation; L1; L2.

Abstract

As a minority group in the United States, Chinese-Americans encounter a multitude of challenges throughout the process of integrating into the dominant societal structure. For Chinese-American adolescents, these challenges are particularly intricate, given that they are in a phase of self-discovery and face psychological issues related to maturity and existence. The short film “Americanized” (2021) portrays the phenomenon of identity negotiation experienced by the fifth generation of Chinese-Americans attempting to assimilate into both the African-American and Asian-American communities. However, due to a perceived lack of alignment with the cultural and normative expectations of both groups, the character ultimately becomes marginalized. Her efforts to negotiate her identity are evident in her use of linguistic styles, fashion, gestures, and elements of hip-hop culture that symbolize her identity, yet ultimately result in further alienation from both groups. This phenomenon illustrates the challenges Asian- American adolescents face in attempting to find a place between the two cultures, and underscores the complexity of the assimilation process that can result in identity marginalization.

Abstract

The purpose of this research was to investigates the effect of kinesthetic learning strategies on the speaking abilities of English learner. Employing a pre-experimental research design, the study involved 20 students from an FLC (Foreign Language Course) program. The research utilized quantitative methods, specifically oral tests, to measure the effectiveness of kinesthetic learning strategies. Data were collected through pre- and post-tests and analyzed using SPSS 22. The findings reveal a significant improvement in the speaking abilities of students who engaged in kinesthetic learning activities. The results of hypothesis testing showed a t-test value of 8.519 at p < 0.01, indicating that the null hypothesis was rejected and the alternative hypothesis was accepted. This suggests that kinesthetic learning strategies are effective in enhancing English speaking skills. The study concludes that integrating movement-based activities into language learning curricula can significantly benefit students' speaking proficiency. These findings support the adoption of kinesthetic learning strategies in language education, advocating for more dynamic and engaging instructional methods that cater to various learning styles.

Boule de Suif is considered one of the best short stories written by Guy de Maupassant. This study is based on a feminist perspective applying a narrative approach to provide an overview of the intersectionality of gender in Guy de Maupassant's narrative work, The Boule de Suif. Specifically, the narrative model was chosen as an approach that focuses on the individual stories of the characters within the work. Narrative identification is important for unraveling issues of gender intersectionality that arise in unequal phenomena. From the process of analysis, it is clear that the character Boule de Suif experiences the phenomenon of intersectionality of gender in the categories of gender, social class and identity in a situation of mutual support, trying to protect themselves from a violent war.

Abstract

Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is a virus that causes a global pandemic. The World Health Organization (WHO) has declared the COVID-19 pandemic since March 11, 2020. During the pandemic, the Government needs to make efforts to prevent social disturbances from occurring, so control over people's behavior needs to be carried out. One of the efforts to control people's behavior carried out by the Indonesian Government is to produce language forms. This form of language is still used today, even though the pandemic has passed. This research will discuss these forms of language using Roger Fowler's Critical Discourse Analysis theory. The data used in this research was obtained from secondary sources from previous research regarding the lexicon that emerged during the COVID-19 pandemic. The secondary data was classified based on its forms; then, an in-depth analysis was carried out using Roger Fowler's Critical Discourse Analysis theory. After the analysis is carried out, conclusions are drawn inductively. The results of this research show that the Government uses several forms of language to prevent social disturbances and control the behavior of Indonesian society. These forms are abbreviations, acronyms, words, and phrases. These forms are used to prevent and overcome social disturbances that arise in Indonesian society in facing the COVID-19 pandemic.
