Abstract

This research explored how cultural elements and values are represented in Korean storybooks for Korean language learners. The objectives of this study are to: 1. Identify Korean and non-Korean cultural elements depicted in Korean language storybooks for Korean language learners; 2. Identify Korean and non-Korean cultural values depicted in Korean language storybooks for Korean language learners. The analysis was conducted using Roland Barthes' semiotic approach. Based on the analysis results, 62 cultural elements and 50 cultural values were found for Korean culture. Meanwhile, for non-Korean culture, 35 cultural elements and 51 cultural values were found. The first finding related to Korean culture was its cultural elements, namely 6 cultural categories, including: monuments; groups of buildings; sites; social practices, rituals, and celebrations; knowledge and practices about nature and the universe; and traditional craftsmanship. Related to cultural values, 5 categories were found, including: time; human relations with nature; human relations with each other; behavioral motives; and human nature. The first findings related to non-Korean culture were cultural elements, namely 5 cultural categories, including: monuments; groups of buildings; sites; knowledge and practices about nature and the universe; and traditional craftsmanship. Regarding cultural values, five categories were identified as the same category found in Korean culture. Based on these findings, it can be seen that despite the author being a foreigner and not a native Korean speaker, Korean culture is still prominently featured in the book Short Stories in Korean for Intermediate Learners. The novelty in this study compared to previous studies are: 1. There is a combination of cultural elements and cultural values that create a more in-depth analysis; 2. The use of storybooks with authors who are not native speakers; 3. There is an analysis of elements that are explained more specifically.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the translation product of ChatGPT by identifying the errors based on the error taxonomy proposed by Vilar et al. (2006). As AI-powered machine translation (MT) becomes increasingly prevalent, evaluating the quality of the output and identifying specific weaknesses is crucial. This research used a descriptive qualitative approach to examine 30 English-to-Indonesian translation outputs generated by ChatGPT. The analysis was guided by Vilar et al.'s error categories: missing words, word order, incorrect words, unknown words, and punctuation. Results show that while ChatGPT performs well in terms of fluency, some errors still occur in the form of incorrect words (33,3%), word orders (23,3%), missing words (20%), and punctuation (13,3%) and unknown words (10%). It can be concluded that the most frequent errors are incorrect words, word orders, and missing words. Proposed solution involves post-editing strategies by adapting translation techniques by Molina and Albir in order to make the translation result more accurate, natural, and aligned with the norms of the target language

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.
