Abstract

Humour has varied functions in teaching and learning English as a Foreign Language (EFL), particularly in enhancing classroom instruction. This study investigates EFL students' perspectives on their lecturers' use of humour, focusing on students from private universities. The study employed a mixed-method approach, gathering data through questionnaires from 122 students and conducting in-depth interviews with 5 students. This diverse sample included learners aged 18 to 45 years, offering insights into a broad age range. Findings indicate that humour in the EFL classroom positively influences students' learning experiences. It contributes to a relaxed learning atmosphere, fosters closer connections between students and lecturers, and enhances engagement with the material. However, it's crucial that the humour aligns with the adult status of the students, indicating a need for sensitivity and appropriateness. The study underscores humour's dual role in EFL education, akin to a double-edged sword with both positive and negative impacts. From the perspective of private university students, appropriate humour is key to effective learning, particularly for adult learners. The findings suggest that while humour can be a powerful pedagogical tool, it must be employed judiciously, considering the varied age and backgrounds of the learners. The implications extend to the broader context of EFL education in higher learning, highlighting the importance of lecturer-student dynamics and the careful integration of humour in educational settings.

Abstract

Effective titles captivate readers and encapsulate the essence of a work. This is especially true in novel translation, where titles bridge cultural gaps and introduce readers to new worlds. Thus, it is becoming a crucial consideration for translators when translating a title. They must transfer it meticulously from the source text (ST) into the target text (TT). One of the critical texts to be studied is a novel for its unique naming, which can be a significant challenge for translators. Hence, this study tried to examine how the novel title in English is translated into Indonesian and discover the following factors for using each title. Mixed method approached was to identify the type of title used towards the novel. It closes the gap that exists between qualitative and quantitative approaches. The data were collected from 114 English novels and their translations published before 2000. Accessibility was an essential criteria in selecting these titles, which are more consistent in terms of language and structure.This study discovered that the literal title translation type is the most prevalent, with 38.6% frequency, while the alternative title type denotes 35.1% frequency. Moreover, the researchers found 21.9% of data in the naturalized loan title category. The loan title with original orthography is the most minor category, with only 4.4% of the data. Further examination also highlights the need to consider shifts and meanings in exploring how Indonesian novel titles are translated. This paper also revealed several linguistic and cultural factors for utilizing each title type. As a result, title translation patterns offer translators practical insights to improve cross-cultural literary perspectives and the nuanced presentation of novel titles in varied language contexts.

Abstract

Globally, effective oral communication skills in English as a lingua franca have become increasingly important. However, many EFL learners, including those in Indonesia, experience apprehension about oral communication in culturally diverse environments. This study explores the phenomenon of oral communication apprehension among Indonesian EFL learners, focusing on identifying the sociocultural factors that hinder them. Using a single-case design, classroom observations, learner interviews, and a teacher focus group were conducted. Purposive sampling selected three ninth-grade students from selected private junior high school in Jember, who demonstrated apprehension in oral communication, and two EFL teachers experienced in addressing students' communication apprehension. Data analysis involved Ethnomethodological Conversation Analysis (ECA) and thematic coding. The findings indicate that factors like interruption, overlap, self-correction, self-monitoring, and reliance on the first language (L1) during oral communication contribute to apprehension. Additionally, sociocultural factors such as learners' attitudes, parental language background, language interference, and educational challenges were identified as contributing to oral communication apprehension among EFL learners. This study sheds light on the root causes of learners' struggles, encouraging them to overcome these challenges. It also offers valuable insights for educators to implement strategies that can alleviate the sociocultural burden faced by many EFL learners, especially relevant in Indonesia's context within the expanded circle of English language learning, where cultural nuances significantly influence language acquisition experiences.

Abstract

The integration of digital tools in education often overlooks the potential of cultural enrichment in teaching materials, especially in enhancing writing skills. This study pioneers the development of e-modules infused with South Sumatra's local wisdom, aiming to fill this gap by offering a unique blend of tradition and technology in short story text writing. Employing a Research and Development (R&D) approach, this study involved a needs analysis, prototype development, and iterative testing phases, including small group trials and field trials with 60 students from SMA Negeri 1 Lempuing Jaya and feedback from two Indonesian language teachers. Data were collected through questionnaires, interviews, document checklists, and pretest-posttest measures to evaluate the e-modules' practicality, validity, and effectiveness. The created e-module, integrating procedures for writing short story texts with South Sumatra's local wisdom, achieved a validation score of 81.93% (valid), a practicality score of 93.4% (very practical), and demonstrated a significant improvement in students' writing skills, with a pretest-posttest improvement showing a 2-tailed p-value of <0.0001. This e-module not only bridges the cultural gap in digital educational resources but also highlights the efficacy of local wisdom in enhancing educational outcomes. The significant improvements in student writing skills underscore the potential for such culturally integrated e-modules to serve as a model for future educational materials. These findings advocate for a broader adoption and development of culturally relevant educational tools, emphasizing their role in preserving cultural heritage and improving educational quality.

Abstract

This qualitative study explores the resilience of Cipaku's displaced communities through narrative communication, shedding light on the unique sociolinguistic dynamics of development-induced displacement. Anchored in the Communication Theory of Resilience (CTR), it delves into how displaced individuals employ communicative processes. The study focused on interviews with 12 individuals selected using snowball sampling technique from Cipaku Village who have lived through displacement more than 10 years due to forced migration, and supported with field observation to gain documentation in capturing their memories and subsequent positive adaptations. Data was analyzed using the NVivo 12 Plus software, which facilitated the organization, coding, and thematic analysis relevant to the study's objectives. The findings of this research delves into how displaced individuals employ communicative processes; crafting normalcy, affirming identity, maintaining networks, employing alternative logics, and foregrounding positive actions to navigate the upheavals of displacement. It highlights how displaced populations actively reconstruct their social realities, preserve cultural identities, and sustain community cohesion through narrative communication. This study also points to gaps in understanding the erosion of linguistic diversity within displaced communities and recommends further exploration of digital communication's role in sustaining displaced communities' communicative networks.

Abstract

The Ngayogyakarta Hadiningrat Palace possesses a unique linguistic tradition, characterized by the use of the Bagongan variety of Javanese. Despite its significance, there is limited research on the origins, purposes, and accurate usage of Bagongan vocabularies by the Royal Servants (Abdi Dalem) of the palace. This study aims to analyze the origin of Bagongan vocabularies, their purposes, and the proficiency of Abdi Dalem in using this linguistic variety. Employing a descriptive qualitative approach, this linguistic description research involved analyzing eleven Bagongan vocabularies. Data were collected from written and spoken forms, literature, audio-visual recordings, and interviews. The collected data were then analyzed thematically and discursively using morphological and syntactic theories. The analysis revealed that six vocabularies had undergone adoption or intact absorption: 1) manira/menira, 2) pakenira/pekenira, 3) puniki, 4) puniku/punika, 5) punapi, and 6) nedha. Additionally, five vocabularies showed changes from Old Javanese: 1) henggeh/enggeh, 2) boya/mboya, 3) wenten, 4) besaos, and 5) seyos. These vocabularies originate from old Javanese, which lacks language stratification, making it suitable as a unifying language in the palace. However, dynamics of the use of Javanese Bagongan variety due to language influences from outside the palace were noted in the use of Bagongan vocabularies, krama vocabularies, ngoko affixes, and spelling of the writing. The findings suggest the need for stricter and more binding regulations on the use of Bagongan language within the palace.

Abstract

Phonetics, a crucial aspect of linguistics, plays a significant role in language acquisition and proficiency. This systematic literature review investigates emerging trends in phonetics research from 2019 to 2024, focusing on the impact of orthographic forms on second language (L2) phonological representation and processing. Utilizing tools like Publish or Perish, with database Crossreff (1000), Google Schoolar (230) and Scopus (26) and total 1256 (n=26) studies to explore how orthographic inputs affect L2 learners' speech perception, production, phonological awareness, and lexical learning. Our findings reveal that orthographic forms can override phonological inputs, leading to persistent effects despite extensive exposure and formal teaching. This study highlights the necessity of incorporating orthographic considerations into phonetic and phonological instruction to enhance L2 learning outcomes. Furthermore, it examines the role of technology, such as YouTube and AI-driven platforms, and innovative pedagogical strategies, including embodied cognition, in improving phonetic education. By aligning with similar studies, this research reinforces the pervasive influence of orthography on L2 phonological development and underscores the importance of developing comprehensive teaching strategies. In the larger context, these findings contribute valuable insights to the field of phonetics and language education, emphasizing the need for tailored educational methods that address orthographic influences, ultimately leading to more effective language learning practices globally. Future research should explore a wider range of languages and orthographic systems, employing longitudinal and experimental designs to deepen the understanding of orthographic effects on phonological development.

Abstract

This study provides a comprehensive typological analysis of the grammatical characteristics of subjects in Acehnese, focusing on the unique subject properties in this lesser-studied language. Utilizing a qualitative descriptive methodology, data were sourced from Acehnese language corpora and existing grammatical accounts. Selective sampling identified 200 sentences, which were analyzed across six syntactic parameters: fronting, floating quantifier, control, relativization, word order, and interrogative sentence construction. The analysis employed distributional and permutation techniques to identify patterns and deviations in subject behavior. Findings reveal that Acehnese subjects, typically noun phrases preceding verbs, can function as patients in transitive clauses without distinct marking. Crucially, Acehnese does not conform to a single 'subject' relation; instead, syntactic processes differentiate between Actor and Undergoer roles. This non-conformity to conventional typological theories underscores the unique syntactic structure of Acehnese. The results highlight the flexible and complex nature of grammatical relations in Acehnese, challenging traditional notions of subjecthood. This study contributes significantly to the broader understanding of syntactic diversity, emphasizing the need for refined and flexible theoretical frameworks in grammatical relations. By illuminating the intricate grammatical systems in Acehnese, the research underscores the importance of adaptable models in linguistic theory to accurately capture the diversity and complexity inherent in human languages. This insight is crucial for advancing linguistic typology and enhancing comparative linguistic analysis in the Southeast Asian region​.

Abstract

This study uniquely explores the disparities in pragmatic marker comprehension and production between bilingual and monolingual groups, aiming to elucidate the cognitive advantages associated with bilingualism. Utilizing a mixed-methods approach, the research incorporated standardized linguistic assessments and observational analyses to evaluate 200 participants, equally divided between bilinguals and monolinguals, ensuring demographic balance. The results indicate that bilingual individuals significantly outperform monolinguals in both comprehension and production of pragmatic markers. Specifically, bilingual participants scored higher on average in both the comprehension test (M = 85.6, SD = 5.3) and the production test (M = 82.4, SD = 5.1), compared to monolinguals who scored an average of 74.2 (SD = 6.8) and 70.3 (SD = 6.4) respectively. Independent samples t-tests confirmed these differences were statistically significant (p < 0.001). Further, these performance advantages persisted even after adjusting for age, gender, and education level, demonstrating the robustness of the bilingual advantage. Qualitative observational analyses supported these quantitative findings, revealing that bilingual participants used pragmatic markers with greater nuance and contextual appropriateness. Thematic analysis highlighted their higher metalinguistic awareness and cognitive flexibility, enabling them to navigate complex pragmatic contexts more effectively. Factors such as language exposure, age of acquisition, socioeconomic status, motivation, and language complexity were identified as influential in these outcomes. These findings advocate for the integration of bilingual education programs to enhance cognitive and linguistic capabilities, essential for effective communication in a globalized context.

Abstract

Discourse markers (DMs) are important when linking the first sentence and another sentence. The previous study showed that DMs can be varied in argumentative text of The Jakarta Post. However, some undergraduate students still face difficulties in using DMs, especially in academic writing, in the context of comparing and contrasting the essays, different from argumentative text. Therefore, this study aims to shed light on the various DMs employed by undergraduate students to establish logical transitions and also to find out the frequency of the DMs used within the context of compare and contrast essays. This study used qualitative methods to collect the data. The subjects of this study were 29 students majoring in English Literature from one of the state universities in Malang, East Java. To collect the data, the instruments used were the students' writing and AntConc 3.5.7 as the corpus analysis. The results were subsequently presented as percentages, offering valuable insights into the differences in DMs usage. The results showed that the students can demonstrate their ability to construct the compare and contrast paragraphs using the DMs properly. The findings contribute to the understanding of DMs usage in academic writing and provide practical implications for educators and learners seeking to improve their writing skills.
