Abstract

EFL Teaching is performed by applying various teaching methodologies to suit the characteristics and needs of the students. For the EFL students at public junior high schools who did not experience English learning in public elementary schools and have limited or no prior English language experience, the EFL teacher may incorporate the students’ acquired languages to help them understand the materials. The research exposes why an EFL teacher at SMPN 1 Salem, integrates national and regional languages in her EFL classroom. The data were collected by giving questionnaires to 27 students and 1 teacher. The results show that the teacher mostly incorporates Indonesian and Sundanese with English in her classroom. Javanese is not used, as all students speak it as their mother tongue, even though they belong to Salem Sub-District, Brebes District, Central Java Province, whose regional language is Javanese. The three languages are used in the classroom to enable students to master English, as it is quite difficult to acquire when it is fully taught in English. The research reveals how teacher adapts to the classroom conditions

Abstract

Global cultural homogeneity, driven by the hegemony of considerable culture, challenges the diversity and identity of local cultures in an increasingly connected world. This research explores the role of Indonesian local films as a space where local culture can survive, transform, and interact with global culture. Using a cultural philosophy approach, this research examines three local films Tilik (2018), Uang Panai (2016), and Yowis Ben (2018)-as a medium that not only represents but also maintains cultural values through language, narrative and vital visual elements. These films invite us to reflect on the relationship between local identity and global cultural forces and how media can be a tool of resistance against cultural hegemony that reduces diversity. The results show that local films can be a vehicle to celebrate differences and introduce the richness of Indonesian culture while opening space for a more inclusive intercultural dialog. This research recommends strengthening local film production and distribution strategies and the need for more in-depth policy support to balance globalization and preserve local culture.

Abstract

A Kiss for Cinderella is a literary work whose narrative combines elements of reality and fantasy, reflecting the characteristics of magical realism. Magical realism is essential in "A Kiss for Cinderella," as it intertwines reality and fantasy, making the extraordinary feel ordinary. The narrative centers on a young woman enduring difficulty, who finds solace in a dreamlike realm inspired by the Cinderella fairy tale. The novel tells the story of a young woman who experiences hardship while escaping to a dream world inspired by the fairy tale of Cinderella. Through the dream world that she creates, she not only escapes from the harsh reality, but also builds an inner space where she finds meaning, magnificence, and the strength to survive. This study is conducted by reading carefully and thoroughly to the text, and then begin to isolate the part which shows how magical realism exists in the text of the play. This study also highlights how the fusion of real and imagined elements deepens the emotional and thematic impact of the play. This article explores how the interaction between imagination and reality shapes the story's themes and character development. By analyzing key scenes, we examine how magical realism is used to blur the boundaries between the protagonist's struggles and her fantasies. By using this approach, it is hoped to be able to deeply reveal how magical realism plays an important role and is able to strengthen the messages and human values which are contained in the play.

Abstract

This study examines the creation and application of an institutional promotional video integrating student-centered scriptwriting and AI voice generation. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness, strengths, and weaknesses of the outcome product from pedagogical and technological perspectives. The study uses a qualitative descriptive design to analyze the product along four dimensions based on four key aspects; content quality, narration, technical quality, and promotional effectiveness. The data were collected through documentation, reflective observation, and review of project records. Findings indicate that the integration of student-centered learning in script development encouraged creativity, collaboration, and ownership, while the use of AI voice technology enhanced cost efficiency and consistency in narration. However, limitations were detected in the emotional expressiveness of the AI- generated voice and the briefness of the video, which reduced narrative depth. The study suggests that integrating student‐centered methods using AI techniques can provide a pedagogically significant and technically interesting model for institutional promotion. Suggested recommendations include the use of hybrid forms, continuing students' participation in post-production, and carrying out studies of audience perception in future research.

Abstract

Speech acts are actions carried out through language that do more than just share information; they can also affect the listener or change social situations. Sometimes, these spoken interactions may cause the listener to feel uncomfortable or lose respect. The idea of protecting a person’s dignity and social standing in communication is known as ‘face.’ When speech acts threaten this sense of face, they are called face-threatening acts. This study aims at identifying and analyzing the face-threatening acts performed by the character Joe Gardner in Pixar’s animated movie Soul (2020), by applying Brown and Levinson’s (1987) framework. Data were collected using the documentation method and note-taking technique, focusing on Joe Gardner’s utterances throughout the movie. The analysis employs a descriptive qualitative method, involving classification, identification, and verification based on the four types of face-threatening acts. The findings show that Joe Gardner performs all four types of face-threatening acts in 103 utterances: threatening the hearer’s negative face (61.2%), threatening the hearer’s positive face (23.3%), threatening the speaker’s negative face (6.8%), and threatening the speaker’s positive face (8.7%). The most frequently used type is the threat to the hearer’s negative face.

Abstract

This article examines the oral tradition of Makalelon-Makaaruyen songs among the Tontemboan Minahasa people, a traditional sub-ethnic song form originating from the Minahasan community in Indonesia. Performed in Tontemboan, Manado Malay, and Indonesian, these songs serve as repositories of collective memory, preserving moral teachings and cultural values across generations. This study underscores the enduring role of these songs in upholding moral and cultural principles, collective memory, and cultural continuity, emphasizing the importance of oral tradition in sustaining identity and values among the Tontemboan Minahasa. Functioning as a medium of cultural transmission, the songs embody prayers, petitions, social virtues, and expressions of love for the homeland. Rooted in the Tontemboan sub-ethnic heritage, Makalelon-Makaaruyen songs encapsulate the community’s shared identity and historical consciousness, passed down orally through generations. The collective memory they preserve strengthens social bonds and mirrors the Minahasa people’s cultural worldview through Moral and Cultural Values conveyed, Sociocultural Context and Usage, and Social and Cultural Functions. This article demonstrates how these oral traditions serve as a living heritage that reinforces Minahasa cultural resilience as one among other collective memory of cultural expressions that heartedfully symbolizes and expresses, “Pakutuan Wo Pakalowiren/Pakalowiden”.

Abstract

The article suggests that there is no straightforward correlation between men, women, and politeness. Women do not necessarily speak more politely than men, nor do men invariably speak more rudely than women. Indeed, the binary division of male and female has frequently been challenged in contemporary scholarship, as such oppositions risk excluding and discriminating against individuals who do not culturally or socially fit into either category. Moreover, politeness is not determined by gender alone; rather it is shaped by a constellation of social factors, including culture, age, social status, race, ethnicity, and educational background.
