Abstract

By revealing speakers’ meanings through ideology, this project aims to provide the gaps in critical discourse analysis abilities through critical literacy practice. Because of the power of legislators, political figures, and other text creators, language preferences can be used to oppress the broader population. Readers should be open to critically evaluating all texts to prevent the media from controlling what they read. The community may experience social chaos as a result of students’ inability to comprehend and analyse news and mass media. The ruling party’s ideology, which seeks to uphold and defend its dominance, can be examined using critical discourse analysis to identify the power of language. The research uses a case study method that gathers data through artefacts and observation. Getting an explanation of students’ responses to questions, and the artefacts they have produced that show their engagement with critical literacy as Freire’s concept are all part of the data analysis process. The conceptual framework for teaching ideology fulfils the absence of emphasising critical literacy pedagogy, such as familiarising teaching methods, picking authentic materials, observing critical discourse analysis, applying multimodality, and asking critical questions. These conceptual frameworks can be used to teach students how to read and evaluate texts so they can learn about identity, diversity, and power. Students seem to benefit from critical literacy practice as a tool for developing critical language awareness, so they are not easily provoked by the text and obverse deeper the words they read before taking action that provides possibilities for social conflict. Therefore, the objective of this research is to develop language learning tools based on critical discourse analysis, with ideology as the core of revealing the meaning of speakers that provide critical literacy awareness. Keywords: critical discourse analysis, critical literacy, ideology

Abstract

The increasing number of controversial government policies in Indonesia has sparked reactions from the public, especially on social media platforms such as X. Interestingly, high ranking officials, including the president, use taboo words in public. This study aims to identify the types of taboo words used by netizens in their criticism of the government and seek the reasons behind their use, as well as how the public views the use of taboo words in political criticism. Using a qualitative approach, this study analyzed several tweets containing taboo words. The findings show that all six categories of taboo words proposed by Wardhaugh were found in the data, along with additional types, such as insults to intelligence. The use of taboo words is often motivated by strong emotions such as anger and disappointment, and in some cases, by the belief that certain officials deserve harsh criticism. Society's response was divided: some people saw it as a legitimate form of emotional expression and resistance, while others found it inappropriate, although many normalized it. Overall, this study concludes that taboo words serve as a powerful tool for expressing disappointment and anger and suggests that future research could examine similar expressions on other platforms or in different contexts.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the forms and causes of discrimination against women, and the struggles of female characters to fight discrimination in Hamka's novel Terusir. The following are the results of this study. First, the forms of discrimination against female characters include the individual and public domains. Discrimination in the individual domain includes marginalization of women's productivity and control over women's sexuality. Discrimination in the public domain includes limitations on women's movement and access to economic resources. Marginalization of women's productivity can be seen from the restrictions on women's movement (the marginalization of women by the power of men), Restricted women's movement is marked by prohibitions and rules of behavior determined by men, while limited economic resources include restrictions on women's work that is highly dependent on men in meeting their basic needs. Second, the factors causing discrimination include patriarchal culture, differences in social status, and customs in the form of a matrilineal system that often places women in marginalized positions. Third, the struggle undertaken by female characters in the novel to face discrimination includes protesting to obtain their rights as women, finding a new life partner who can provide welfare guarantees, and choosing to live independently to continue their lives.

Abstract

Tourism is one of the economic sectors that plays an important role both locally and globally, where effective communication becomes a crucial bridge between hosts and guests. Language readiness is identified as a fundamental factor that determines the quality of tourist experience and destination competitiveness. This study aims to analyze the level of language readiness in five popular tourist destinations in Palembang City: Ampera Bridge, Kemaro Island, Pempek Village, Kuto Besak Fortress, and Sultan Mahmud Badaruddin II Museum. Using a qualitative approach with descriptive case study design, data were collected through structured observations, semi-structured interviews with 11 informants (destination managers, tour guides, traders, and transportation providers), and documentation analysis. The findings reveal significant variations in language readiness levels across destinations, with Sultan Mahmud Badaruddin II Museum demonstrating the highest readiness through QR code audio guides and English information boards, while Pempek Village shows the lowest readiness with limited multilingual infrastructure. Communication barriers identified include limited vocabulary, accent differences, lack of confidence among staff, and absence of formal language training programs. The study concludes that systematic development of language training programs, improvement of multilingual infrastructure, and adoption of assistive technology are essential for enhancing Palembang's tourism competitiveness.

Abstract

This research is motivated by the popularity of the Twilight (2008) film, which not only became a global popular culture phenomenon but also demonstrates the revival of key elements of the Gothic literary tradition in a modern form. As an adaptation that combines teenage romance with an atmosphere of darkness and mystery, the film is significant to study within the framework of Gothic literature because it illustrates how classical traditions are transformed in contemporary media. This research aims to (1) identify and analyze the Gothic elements contained in the Twilight film as well as its adaptation of the classical Gothic literary tradition, and (2) explore how the film represents the main Gothic themes of forbidden love, death, and identity in a modern context. This study employs a descriptive qualitative method with content analysis, utilizing the theoretical framework of classical and modern Gothic literature as described by Wolfreys, Robbins, and Womack (2013), Spooner (2006), as well as previous related studies. The research data were obtained from dialogue excerpts, narratives, and visual elements in the Twilight film that contain Gothic elements. The analysis shows that Twilight adapts the core elements of classical Gothic literature namely forbidden love, death, and identity into a modern narrative context. These themes are represented through Bella and Edward’s cross-world romance, the reinterpretation of death as sacrifice, and the characters’ identity crises, all framed in the emotional language of contemporary youth. Supported by visual aesthetics such as dim lighting, fog, and isolated forest landscapes, the film bridges the classical Gothic tradition with 21st-century sensibilities.

Abstract

This study investigates the ways in which Family Language Policy (FLP) and home-based literacy practices mediate children’s English literacy development in multilingual Indonesian households. While English Language Teaching (ELT) scholarship has traditionally privileged school-based instruction, the role of families—particularly in contexts where Bahasa Indonesia coexists with regional languages such as Javanese or Sundanese—remains insufficiently theorized. Drawing on simulated mixed-method data, the study delineates three recurrent FLP orientations: structured (30%), emergent (50%), and passive (20%). The findings suggest that rather than adopting uniform strategies, families develop fluid, ideologically motivated practices that are profoundly shaped by sociocultural values, socioeconomic positioning, and translanguaging repertoires. Parental attitudes—ranging from positive to ambivalent or resistant— emerge as decisive in determining both the frequency and quality of children’s English exposure. Notably, even families with limited material resources exhibit considerable linguistic agency, incorporating English through media, storytelling, and bilingual scaffolding. By challenging deficit-oriented perspectives, this study demonstrates that children’s English literacy trajectories are constituted through social interaction, cultural negotiation, and multilingual creativity rather than material access alone. It argues for a reconceptualization of ELT frameworks that foreground the household as a dynamic and generative site of language learning and identity formation.

Abstract

In the digital era, social media significantly shapes adolescent identity by creating hyperreal representations that blur the boundaries between reality and simulation. This study aims to analyze how social media simulacra are depicted in Al Rawabi School for Girls Season 2 and their impact on adolescents. Using a qualitative approach, six episodes were analyzed through Jean Baudrillard’s four stages of images: reflection of image, denatures of image, absence of image, and no relation of image. The results show that denatures of image stage is most dominant, revealing how digital image manipulation affects teenagers perception, behaviors, and social interactions. The hyperreality of social media contributes to bullying, suicide, identity distortion, and consumptive banality among teenagers. This study contributes to research on modern Arab media and culture by applying postmodern theories of simulacra and hyperreality to contemporary youth media, providing insight into how digital images and social validation shape teenagers' identity.

Abstract

This study aims to identify the types of errors and the factors causing derivative word formation errors in fourth-semester students of the English Literature Study Program at Bina Darma University. The scope of the study is limited to analyzing errors in the use of affixes (prefixes and suffixes) that change the word class or meaning of the base word, based on students' academic texts. The research method used a qualitative descriptive design with purposive sampling of 10 students. Data were obtained through a 300 word essay writing test, then analyzed using Surface Strategy Taxonomy (Dulay, Burt, & Krashen, 1982) which classifies errors into four types: omission, addition, misformation, and misordering. The results showed that misformation was the most dominant error (48%), followed by addition (24%), omission (20%), and misordering (8%). Causal factors include first language interference, overgeneralization of morphological rules, limited morphological knowledge, and minimal exposure to academic vocabulary. The main conclusion of this study is the need for explicit and structured teaching of derivational morphology in writing courses, accompanied by contextual exercises to improve the accuracy of students' use of derived word forms.
THE NARRATIVE STRUCTURE IN SHORT STORY “IBLIS YANTASHIRU” BY TAUFIQ AL-HAKIM: A.J. GREIMAS PERSPECTIVE Noriska, Zacky Aqsha; Zulkhairi; Jafar, Abzari; Syarifuddin; Kamila, Nisaul

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the narrative structure of Taufiq al-Hakim’s short story “Iblis Yantashiru” by identifying both its surface and deep structures through the lens of Algirdas Julien Greimas’s narrative semiotics. The analysis of the story’s narrative structure is crucial, as it significantly influences the comprehension of the overall meaning of the text. This research employs a descriptive qualitative approach, utilizing written data derived directly from the literary work. Data collection techniques include close reading, note-taking, and library research. The data were analyzed through several stages: identification, interpretation, analysis, and conclusion drawing. The structural analysis was conducted based on Greimas’s narrative semiotic framework, which encompasses the actantial structure, functional structure, main actant, surface structure and deep structure. The findings reveal that the short story’s structure is divided into four segments: the first segment presents the theme of “Nasik’s victory,” the second highlights “Nasik’s sincerity,” the third explores “the pact between Iblis and Nasik,” and the fourth emphasizes “self-interest.” Furthermore, the study identifies the main actant based on the actants found in these four segments: the principal sender is Nasik’s faith, while the main receiver as well as the subject is Nasik himself, who pursues the object of “upholding the truth.” In this pursuit, he is obstructed by the opposant, namely “Iblis,” and supported by the helpers, namely faith and an axe. Through the above structure, it can be concluded that the narrative of Taufiq al-Hakim’s short story “Iblis Yantashiru” contains unique narrative elements and a structural pattern consistent with A.J. Greimas’s narrative semiotics.

Abstract

This study examines how “scientific” language in skincare product names constructs authority, efficacy claims, and consumer subject positions. Using Fairclough’s Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA), it analyzes two skincare products namely Skintific and Wardah. The analysis follows three dimensions: (1) text analysis which includes phrase analysis on lexical borrowing from science, quantification and statistical authority and hybridization of science and beauty rhetoric; (2) discursive practice which analyze how names are produced (brand style and platform constraints), distributed (packaging, e-commerce), and consumed (consumer readings of numbers and technical terms); and (3) social practice to reveal the ideology behind the text. Findings indicate systematic patterns on the scientific language is less about empirical precision and more about constructing trust and authority. The study contributes an operational scheme for identifying “scientific language” in naming, clarifies meaning-making mechanisms, and discusses implications for consumer literacy and marketing communication regulation..
