Abstract

Learning media play an essential role in helping students and teachers achieve educational goals. The use of engaging media can enhance the teaching and learning process. In this context, a spinning wheel was used as a tool to introduce and reinforce vocabulary in elementary school, creating a more interactive learning environment. The study aimed to investigate whether Spinning Wheel Media affected students’ vocabulary mastery, specifically among third-grade students at SDN 64 Sungai Raya. This research is a descriptive-quantitative study that employed a pre-experimental design with a one-group pre-test and post-test. Data were collected through a pre-test, treatment session, and post-test. The sample comprised 22 students from Class III A at SDN 64 Sungai Raya. Furthermore, the findings of this research indicated a significant improvement in students’ vocabulary mastery after the treatment. The post-test mean score was 90.2, compared to the pre-test mean score of 39.1. The t-test value was 13.19, and the effect size was 2.8, showing a strong effect. The hypothesis (Ha) was accepted, confirming that Spinning Wheel Media effectively enhanced students’ vocabulary, especially in learning the names of the days of the week.

Abstract

English abbreviations are widely used in digital communication, especially on platforms like X (formerly Twitter). Indonesian artists and influential public figures often use abbreviations in their posts, shaping language trends among their followers. This study aims to identify the types of English abbreviations used by Indonesian artists on X, as well as the contexts in which they are used. This research uses a qualitative descriptive method with a content analysis design, including thematic and linguistic analysis, to explore patterns and meanings in the use of English abbreviations on social media. This study collected data from 25 selected artists’ accounts from December 16, 2024, to January 16, 2025, to identify the types of abbreviations and their contexts of use. The results show that abbreviations are divided into four main categories: acronyms (40%), initials (34%), word shortening (20%), and word combinations (6%). In terms of usage, abbreviations appear most often in casual conversation (28%), followed by formal/professional communication (24%), promotion and marketing (20%), and memes or humor (28%). The findings show that acronyms are the most frequently used type of abbreviation, reflecting a preference for fast, efficient communication in X. In addition, this study highlights how social media shapes language habits and how the use of abbreviations can affect language learning. This study provides new insights into digital language trends and how online communication continues to evolve among artists and their followers.

Abstract

This study examines the superiority complex’s behavior in "Do Revenge" to expose the reasons and effects of this behavior, which overrides Drea in the film. The main character’s psychological state is one of the aims. Thus, Alfred Adler’s individual psychology is used in this study to examine the main character’s psychology. The following issues are developed in light of it: (1) Why does Drea decide to take revenge? (2) How does Drea behave to exact her revenge? (3) What effects does Drea’s act of revenge have? This is a descriptive study that uses a context-oriented approach to assess data on Drea’s portrayal as someone who engages in superiority-complex behavior. To identify Drea’s superior behavior, the research process included several steps: first, closely watching the film; then, focusing on her speech and actions; and finally, selecting and analyzing dialogue that reflected a superiority complex and her reasons for acting that way. The film chronicles the life of Drea, who, after her ex uploads and distributes her sex tape, is compelled to take revenge on her friends and her ex out of her heart and to reclaim her identity, thereby denying her admission to her ideal university. In the end, she deliberately wounded some of her friends, including her closest ones, because of the superior attitude that shaped her behavior.

Abstract

 Literary translation plays a crucial role not only as a linguistic bridge but also as a medium for transferring culture, aesthetic values, and complex emotional expressions. Unlike technical or legal translation, literary translation demands greater cultural and linguistic sensitivity, especially when dealing with culture-specific terms. One translation technique frequently employed in this context is borrowing, which helps preserve cultural authenticity in the target language. In Arthur Conan Doyle’s classic detective novel A Study in Scarlet, borrowing is particularly significant because the novel introduces cultural, social, and historical elements of 19th-century England, reflected in its distinctive vocabulary and cultural references. The objective of this research is to identify the borrowing technique used in the novel “A Study in Scarlet”, translated into “Penelusuran Benang Merah”. This study employed a descriptive qualitative method to describe the borrowing techniques found in the text. The analysis is based on Molina and Albir’s (2002) framework for translation techniques and Newmark’s (1988) classification of foreign cultural terms into five domains. The findings reveal 70 borrowing instances, comprising 49 pure borrowings and 21 naturalized borrowings, distributed across material culture, social culture, gestures and habits, organizations, and abstract concepts. These results highlight how borrowing functions as a translation strategy that simultaneously preserves cultural authenticity and ensures the readability of the target text.

Abstract

This study explores the integration of Lamin Dayak Kenyah architecture as a cultural medium in English language instruction. The research aims to promote contextual and culture-based learning by linking English teaching materials with local wisdom embedded in the traditional Lamin house. A qualitative descriptive method was employed in this study, involving 30 university students and five English lecturers from East Kalimantan. Data were collected through observations, interviews, and document analysis conducted with local cultural experts and English educators. The data were analyzed thematically using NVivo software. The findings reveal that Lamin architecture, rich with symbolic meanings, social values, and traditional narratives, provides authentic contexts for developing students’ linguistic and intercultural competence. Incorporating cultural artifacts such as Lamin into English instruction not only enhances students’ engagement and comprehension but also fosters awareness of cultural identity and appreciation for indigenous heritage.

Abstract

Collaborative group learning, commonly referred to as group work, is widely applied in higher education to enhance students teamwork, communication, and problem-solving skills. However, the success of this learning model depends heavily on interpersonal trust among group members. This study aimed to explore students interpersonal trust toward their group members in academic settings. Using a descriptive quantitative design, data were collected from 257 students across various universities in Indonesia through snowball sampling. Interpersonal trust was measured using the Interpersonal Trust Scale, developed based on Rotters framework, which demonstrated strong psychometric properties (item discrimination indices: 0.3330.865; reliability coefficient: 0.947). The findings revealed that most participants demonstrated high levels of interpersonal trust, with reliability as the dominant aspect, indicating that students could rely on and entrust tasks to their peers. Furthermore, no significant differences were found across demographic factors, including gender, field of study, and university status. These results highlight the central role of reliability in shaping effective group work and suggest that lecturers and curriculum developers should foster supportive learning environments, establish clear group norms, and integrate communication and conflict resolution training. This study contributes both theoretically and practically to the literature on interpersonal trust in higher education. It suggests that future research should employ more complex methods and comparative approaches, particularly between online and offline learning contexts, to better understand the dynamics of trust in collaborative learning.

Abstract

The importance of mastering English speaking skills and the influence of the learning environment are the main targets for students. The problems that may exist among senior high school students include a lack of speaking practice, discomfort in public speaking, and pressure from the surrounding environment that hinders the learning process. This study aims to explore and analyze how the learning environment affects students’ ability to speak English. This study employs a descriptive quantitative method in which the data are collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. Observation is conducted by distributing questionnaires to 26 eleventh-grade students, and interviews are then carried out to explore more in-depth information about students’ experiences, perceptions, and views on the learning environment. The data are statistically analyzed to identify trends, student perceptions, and dominant factors that support or hinder English speaking within the learning environment. The findings show that most students perceive the learning environment as quite supportive in terms of facilities, teacher support, student involvement, peer support, classroom atmosphere, and speaking practice. However, challenges such as a lack of confidence and the limited use of English outside the classroom remain significant obstacles. The learning environment plays an important role in supporting students’ confidence, along with positive teacher support through the use of collaborative learning strategies, presentations, and technology. Additionally, student involvement is categorized as a high indicator of a participatory atmosphere. Facilities, however, remain an aspect that needs to be improved to encourage more active communication. Peer support is also a challenge, as some students feel less supported during group work. Meanwhile, teachers have managed to provide many opportunities for students to speak, which encourages them to become more active and orally skillful. These findings are expected to provide valuable input for schools in creating a more effective learning environment that enhances students’ English-speaking abilities.

Abstract

This qualitative descriptive study examines the linguistic representation of social hierarchy and kinship in the Japanese animated series Chibi Maruko-chan. Grounded in sociolinguistic theories of politeness and indexicality, the research investigates how language constructs familial and social roles within the show’s narrative framework. The primary objectives are to identify and categorize specific linguistic features—including honorifics, address terms, and politeness strategies used to denote social relationships—and to analyze how these discursive practices reinforce traditional Japanese concepts of uchi (in-group) and soto (out-group). Data were collected through purposive sampling of fifteen episodes, forming a corpus of dialogue that was subsequently analyzed using directed content analysis. The findings reveal a consistent asymmetry in politeness strategies: children, particularly the protagonist Maruko, predominantly use positive politeness and casual language to express closeness, while parents and older siblings employ negative politeness, formal self-reference, and bald-on-record directives to assert authority and maintain hierarchical order. Interactions with grandparents blend affection and respect, softening hierarchical boundaries, whereas peer interactions exhibit egalitarian solidarity through direct, unmitigated speech. The study concludes that the series actively naturalizes social structures through everyday talk, serving as a rich site for the discursive reproduction of cultural norms. It contributes to media linguistics by demonstrating the value of anime as a corpus for pragmatic analysis and offers insights into the intersection of language, power, and culture in popular media.
