This qualitative study employs a multimodal discourse analysis framework developed by Kress and van Leeuwen to examine how visual images in the English for Nusantara Kelas IX textbook construct interactive meaning for ninth-grade EFL learners in Indonesia. The analysis focuses on dimensions of interactive meaning: social distance, perspective, gaze, and modality. A total of 31 images depicting human participants were analyzed. The findings reveal that most images are represented through medium shots (77.41%) and oblique angles (96.78%), tending to position learners primarily as observers rather than symbolically involved participants. Additionally, the use of simplified and stylized visual modality emphasizes visual simplicity while potentially reducing contextual immersion. These findings suggest that while the textbook’s visual design may foreground instructional clarity and content delivery, it may provide fewer visual cues for interpersonal involvement and participatory positioning. The study offers analytically informed recommendations for textbook developers and educators to adopt a more balanced visual grammar that integrates both observational and participatory framing to enhance learner engagement.

This study examines how educational empowerment is represented through teacher speech acts in the film The Ron Clark Story. The study is significant because teacher language functions not only as a medium of instruction but also as a pedagogical resource that can support students’ psychological, academic, and social development. Using a qualitative descriptive design and a pragmatic approach, this study analyzed 13 teacher utterances selected from classroom interaction scenes in the film. The data were analyzed using speech act theory, teacher talk concepts, and an educational empowerment framework. The findings reveal that educational empowerment is represented through representative, directive, expressive, commissive, and declarative speech acts. These speech acts function pedagogically to provide emotional support, encourage learning engagement, promote self-reflection, and foster social belonging within the classroom community. The findings further indicate that different speech acts contribute to different dimensions of empowerment depending on the communicative goals of the teacher and the needs of learners. This study contributes to educational pragmatics by demonstrating that teacher speech acts function not only as linguistic actions but also as pedagogical resources that support educational empowerment in classroom interactions represented in film narratives.

This study aims to explore students’ perceptions of online-based hybrid learning in developing English speaking skills in higher education. Employing a qualitative research design, the study was conducted at the Faculty of Languages and Literature, Universitas Negeri Makassar, Indonesia. The participants consisted of 87 second-semester students enrolled in an Interactive Speaking course, with 20 students purposively selected for in-depth interviews based on their Grade Point Average (GPA). Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and analyzed using thematic analysis to identify recurring patterns. The findings reveal four key themes: motives, interests, experiences, and expectations. In terms of motives, students are driven by the flexibility, convenience, and cost-effectiveness of hybrid learning, which allows them to access materials anytime and manage their learning independently. Regarding interests, students show positive engagement with diverse learning activities, such as video projects, discussions, and multimedia-based tasks, which support their speaking practice. In terms of experiences, students report both benefits (increased technological proficiency and opportunities for self-paced learning) and challenges (unstable internet connections, reduced interaction, and distractions during online sessions). Concerning expectations, students hope for a more interactive learning environment, including meaningful feedback, and effective integration of synchronous and asynchronous learning. In conclusion, online-based hybrid learning offers flexibility and supports independent speaking practice, but its effectiveness depends on balancing interaction, motivation, and technological support. Practically, educators should provide structured, interactive hybrid settings with meaningful speaking tasks and ongoing feedback. Theoretically, this study will be useful for educators to apply online-based hybrid learning in the teaching and learning.

Children’s storybooks employ carefully crafted linguistic patterns that not only entertain young readers but also function as important resources for meaning-making, engagement, and early language development. This study investigates stylistic features as meaning-making resources in selected children’s storybooks written by Julia Donaldson, namely The Gruffalo, Room on the Broom, and The Snail and the Whale. The study aims to examine the dominant stylistic features used in the selected texts and explore how these features function in constructing meaning for young readers. Employing a qualitative descriptive-analytic design, this research applies the stylistic framework of Leech and Short alongside Halliday’s Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL). The analysis focuses on five stylistic categories: lexical, grammatical, phonological, graphological, and figurative features. The findings reveal that phonological features, particularly rhyme, rhythm, alliteration, and sound repetition, are the most dominant stylistic resources across the selected storybooks. These features function simultaneously as ideational resources that foreground semantic relationships, interpersonal resources that establish expressive and interactional dimensions within the narratives, and textual resources that organize narrative flow and coherence. Viewed through Halliday’s meta-functional framework, these stylistic patterns contribute to multiple layers of meaning construction within the selected storybooks. The study further demonstrates that stylistic choices in children’s storybooks are purposefully adapted to the cognitive and linguistic capacities of young readers, making narratives more accessible, memorable, and emotionally engaging. This study contributes to stylistics and children’s literature studies by highlighting how linguistic features function not merely as aesthetic devices, but as meaningful resources that support narrative construction and early literacy development.

English proficiency has become a critical determinant of business competitiveness for women entrepreneurs in Indonesia, yet existing programs rarely address their professional communication needs. This study investigated the effects of Task-Based Language Teaching (TBLT) through the DreamBuilder platform on the English proficiency of Indonesian women entrepreneurs in the Academy for Women Entrepreneurs (AWE) program, Makassar. A quasi-experimental mixed-methods design involved 40 participants in a TBLT group (n = 20) or Traditional instruction group (n = 20), with pre- and post-test scores, questionnaire, and interview data collected concurrently. The TBLT group demonstrated significantly greater proficiency gains (mean gain: 25.8 vs. 9.8 points; t(38) = 18.43, p < .001, Cohen’s d = 5.27). Participants rated task-profession relevance highly (M = 4.6) and reported increased daily professional English use post-intervention. Thematic analysis identified four facilitating factors such as task-profession alignment, platform flexibility, resource variety, and peer interaction, and four inhibiting factors such as technological barriers, delayed feedback, limited cultural relevance, and self-regulation challenges. Extending TBLT evidence to adult women entrepreneur learners through a purpose-built digital entrepreneurship platform constitutes the study’s primary novelty. Platform developers and policymakers are recommended to prioritize task localization, integrated feedback, and digital infrastructure investment to maximize TBLT effectiveness in comparable emerging economy contexts.

This study investigates the representation of Nadiem Makarim in TikTok content published by Tech in Asia by employing Appraisal Theory and Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA). The research aims to identify the evaluative language used in the discourse and examine the ideological tendencies reflected in the media representation. The data consist of 109 clauses collected from opinion, interview, straight news, and hard news content related to the media-reported alleged corruption case involving Nadiem Makarim. A qualitative descriptive approach is employed in this study. The results show that engagement is the most dominant appraisal resource (71.5%), followed by attitude (20.2%) and graduation (8.3%). The frequent use of heteroglossic and monoglossic resources suggests that Tech in Asia constructs legitimacy through selected external voices, particularly from the technology and business sectors. The findings also indicate that Nadiem Makarim is predominantly represented as an innovator and entrepreneurial leader rather than being primarily associated with the legal allegations. From the perspective of Fairclough’s social practice framework, the discourse appears to reflect values related to innovation, entrepreneurial leadership, legal certainty, and technological development. Overall, this study demonstrates how evaluative language contributes to the construction of meaning and representation within contemporary digital media discourse.
