Abstract

This study aims to analyze the educational values and core character traits represented in the animated film Moana. The research focuses on two main questions: (1) what types of educational values are portrayed in the film, and (2) how the main characters embody key character traits. A qualitative descriptive method was employed, involving repeated viewing of the film and analysis of its transcript using two theoretical frameworks: the 18 national character values proposed by Zaqiah and Rusdiana (2014), and the Character Education Framework by the Indonesian Ministry of Education and Culture (2017).The findings revealed that 16 out of 18 national character values were present in the film, including values such as responsibility, independence, social care, honesty, and religious commitment. However, tolerance and love for reading were not identified. In addition, the character analysis showed that the main character, Moana, consistently exemplifies the five core character values outlined by the Ministry: religiosity, nationalism, independence, mutual cooperation, and integrity. These results suggest that Moana serves not only as a source of entertainment but also as an effective medium for character education, especially for young learners. The film has the potential to be used as a supporting material in educational settings to promote national character development through engaging and meaningful content.

Abstract

This study investigates the construction of professional identity among English teachers in Islamic private junior high schools by employing a narrative inquiry approach and drawing on the theoretical frameworks of Pierre Bourdieu and Geert Kelchtermans. Through in-depth life story interviews with selected teachers, the research explores how individual habitus, various forms of capital (Bourdieu), and personal interpretative frameworks (Kelchtermans) shape and are shaped by institutional, cultural, and religious contexts. The study reveals that teachers’ professional identities are not fixed entities but are continuously negotiated and reconstructed through their past experiences, educational paths, values, beliefs, and the socio-religious field in which they work. Teachers’ dispositions toward teaching are deeply embedded in their social backgrounds and influenced by both internal (self-image, mission, task perception) and external (contextual challenges, interpersonal relationships) factors. This research offers insights into how professional identity in Islamic educational settings is shaped by a complex interplay of structure and agency, highlighting the need for context-sensitive professional development that acknowledges teachers’ lived experiences. The findings contribute to the discourse on identity formation in English language teaching by emphasizing narrative, cultural, and reflective dimensions in teacher education.

This study employed a descriptive qualitative method with a sociolinguistic case study approach. The subject of the study was an adult woman named Wiwin Herlina, who was selected purposively because she actively uses mixed languages in her daily interactions. The data were collected through direct observation and voice recording in natural communication situations. The collected data were then transcribed, classified, and analyzed using data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings show that the subject was able to communicate in her daily life by mixing two languages. This language practice was influenced by her surrounding environment, which gradually formed a new habit in her communication style. The study concludes that the environment plays an important role in shaping an individual’s daily language use, especially in the practice of code-mixing. Therefore, code-mixing can be understood as a form of linguistic adaptation and cultural acculturation when used appropriately in daily communication.
