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.

Abstract

British Parliamentary (BP) debate is widely adopted in EFL/ESP classrooms, but prior studies often report score gains without explaining how debate drives language development. This study aimed to trace the mechanisms by which BP debate fosters L2 acquisition, focusing on fluency, discourse organisation, and pragmatic competence. Using a qualitative research method with process tracing, eight medical ESP students at Politeknik Kesehatan Mataram completed four full BP rounds. Multimodal data included audio–video recordings of speeches and POIs, written texts from case building, observational notes, and reflective journals/interviews. Data were transcribed and analysed through reflexive thematic analysis guided by three constructs: noticing, modified output, and mediation. Results show a consistent input–processing–output–mediation cycle: self-repairs declined while lexical precision increased; signposting and connectors became denser and more strategic; POIs/rebuttals featured clearer negotiation through hedging, uptake, and reformulation; and adjudicator feedback catalysed planned changes in subsequent rounds, indicating developing self-regulation. Overall, BP debate functions as a rich, mechanism-rich environment that integrates sociocultural mediation with interactionist learning, transforming performance from mechanical repetition to purposeful, confident communication. These findings support using BP debate as an authentic task-based pedagogy for ESP learners.

Abstract

 Language serves as a crucial tool in delivering messages, shaping interactions, and influencing audiences, particularly in public speeches. One essential linguistic feature commonly used by speakers is directive speech acts, which function to instruct, request, advise, or encourage listeners to perform certain actions. This study analyzes directive speech acts in the speech of TGH. M. Hilmi Nadjmuddin, a prominent Islamic leader whose sermons contain strong educational and leadership values. The objectives of the study are to identify and classify directive speech acts, examine their pragmatic functions, and explore the embedded values of leadership and education. This study uses a qualitative descriptive method with a pragmatic approach; the data were drawn from selected transcripts of his speeches, categorized by directive type, and analyzed contextually. The findings reveal various directive speech acts, such as commands, requests, advice, and suggestions, each serving different communicative purposes. The analysis further shows that these directive strategies not only fulfill communicative intentions but also reflect discipline, moral guidance, and leadership within the pesantren tradition. These findings highlight the significance of directive speech acts as instruments for shaping character, influencing audiences, and promoting educational values, while contributing to pragmatic studies in religious discourse.

Abstract

This study aimed to examine how the phonological features of the Javanese language represent Javanese culture through the short film Uba Rampe (2025). This study used a qualitative descriptive method; the analysis focused on spoken utterances in the film that reflect elements of Javanese cultural representation. The research applied Chomsky’s theory of sound change to explain how specific phonological adaptations function as markers of cultural identity within the Javanese linguistic system. In addition, Poedjosoedarmo’s theory of linguistic politeness provides a framework for understanding how phonological variation can embody social values, particularly those related to respect and refinement in Javanese speech. The findings revealed several distinctive phonological phenomena, including phoneme alternations, allophonic variations, and aspiration patterns, which symbolize unique culturalcharacteristics of the Javanese language. Moreover, the presence of pre-nasalization in the utterances is a salient indicator of politeness, reflecting the Javanese emphasis on harmonious social interaction and deference. These phonological features were not merely linguistic markers but also served as representations of deeper cultural meanings embedded in everyday communication. Overall, this study demonstrated that the phonological system of Javanese plays a vital role in maintaining and expressing cultural identity, illustrating the intricate intertwining of language and culture within Javanese society.

Abstract

Expressive acts are a major category within illocutionary speech acts. This research aimed to explore and classify expressive speech acts in YouTube comments reacting to Nightbirde’s audition on America’s Got Talent. The analysis is grounded in the expressive speech act theory proposed by Searle and Vanderveken (2009). This research employs a qualitative descriptive method to analyze the data. Data were collected through non-participatory observation and note-taking. From 38 individual comments, 60 data points were identified. The analysis revealed four expressive speech act types: compliment (25 times), thank (13 times), condole (14 times), and lament (8 times). Other types, such as apologize, boast, congratulate, protest, complain, greet, welcome, and deplore, did not appear in the dataset. These results suggest that digital platforms like YouTube foster emotionally expressive discourse, especially in moments of shared mourning. The researcher encourages further exploration of expressive speech acts in varied online contexts, including multimodal forms such as emojis, visuals, and interactional features.

Abstract

This study examines expressive utterances in guest reviews to identify their types and the linguistic markers that realize them. In the digital era, online guest reviews have become an influential form of electronic word-of-mouth that shapes public perceptions of hotel service quality. These reviews frequently contain expressive utterances that reveal guests’ emotional evaluations of their experiences. This study aims to identify the types of expressive utterances and examine the linguistic markers and politeness strategies used in online guest reviews of Merumatta Senggigi–Lombok Hotel. Employing a qualitative descriptive method, the data were drawn from 28 purposively selected TripAdvisor reviews and analyzed using document analysis procedures. The analysis was guided by Speech Act Theory and Politeness Strategy Theory, following the stages of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal ten types of expressive utterances, namely praise, appreciation, compliment, gratitude, complaint, criticism, regret, blame, anxiety, and negative recommendation, with compliments, appreciation, and complaints occurring most frequently. Positive expressive utterances are primarily realized through evaluative adjectives and intensifiers, while negative utterances tend to employ negation, contrastive structures, hedging, and narrative framing to mitigate face-threatening acts. These results demonstrate that expressive utterances in online hotel reviews function not only as emotional expressions but also as pragmatic strategies shaped by politeness considerations in digital communication.

Abstract

Argumentative writing is an essential academic skill in higher education; however, students in non-English academic contexts frequently encounter difficulties in developing coherent arguments, organizing ideas logically, and integrating supporting evidence effectively. This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of Artificial Intelligence Writing Assistants (AIWAs), particularly ChatGPT, in improving Indonesian undergraduate students’ argumentative writing performance. This study employed a mixed-methods approach with a quasi-experimental pretest–posttest control group design. Forty fourth-semester undergraduate students were divided equally into an experimental group receiving AI-assisted feedback through ChatGPT and a control group receiving conventional teacher and peer feedback. Quantitative data were collected through argumentative writing tests and analyzed using paired-samples t-tests, independent-samples t-tests, and gain score analysis. Qualitative data were obtained through classroom observations and semi-structured interviews to provide complementary insights into students’ learning experiences. The results revealed that both groups improved after the intervention; however, the experimental group achieved significantly higher posttest scores (M = 82.70) than the control group (M = 76.90), with a statistically significant difference (p = .005). Qualitative findings further indicated that AIWAs facilitated iterative revision, strengthened coherence and argumentative organization, and enhanced students’ confidence in writing. The findings suggest that AIWAs can serve as effective reflective partners in argumentative writing instruction and offer considerable pedagogical potential to support academic literacy development and digital transformation in higher education, particularly in non-English academic contexts.

Abstract

In the digital era, language assessment is increasingly shaped by technology; however, limited attention has been given to how students experience technology-based assessment, particularly in the English for Journalism context. This study aims to examine students’ perspectives on the implementation of technology-based assessment in an English for Journalism course, with a focus on integrating Assessment for Learning (AfL), Assessment as Learning (AaL), and Assessment of Learning (AoL). Using a qualitative descriptive method, data were collected through semi-structured interviews with 25 undergraduate students in 14 instructional meetings. Various digital tools were utilized, including Google Forms and Mentimeter for AfL, Google Classroom and Moodle for AoL, and reflective activities for AaL. The findings reveal that technology-based assessments fostered engagement, motivation, and self-regulation, leading students to become more reflective and autonomous in their learning. Moreover, authentic journalism-oriented tasks supported the development of professional identity and communicative competence. However, students also reported challenges, including inconsistent internet connectivity, digital fatigue, and a need for more timely and dialogic feedback. Overall, the study demonstrates that integrating AfL, AaL, and AoL through digital platforms transforms assessment into an interactive, learner-centered process. The study contributes to current discourse on technology-mediated assessment in English for Specific Purposes (ESP) by emphasizing the pedagogical value of listening to learners’ perspectives. Recommendations and implications for future research are also provided to enhance assessment literacy and the integration of sustainable technologies in language education.

Abstract

This research aims to explore how women’s experiences and gender inequality are depicted in Brit Bennett’s novel The Vanishing Half, using a feminist literary-critical approach. The story of this novel follows the lives of two twin sisters, Desiree and Stella Vignes, whose choices about their identity and social position reflect issues such as race, class, and gender-based oppression in 20th-century America. This study employs descriptive qualitative methods and draws on feminist theory, particularly liberal feminism and intersectional approaches, to analyze how female characters in the novel struggle against patriarchal domination and racial hierarchy. The results of the study show that Bennett’s work expresses feminist ideals, as her female characters reject conventional female roles and affirm their ability to determine their own destinies despite facing obstacles from the existing system. Furthermore, this research also provides insight into the novel’s depiction of the double oppression experienced by Black American women, influenced by race and gender. The Vanishing Half explores the role of women and highlights identities that are entwined by multiple factors. This study concludes that the feminist perspective provides a deeper insight into how women’s voices are shaped, suppressed, and finally empowered in a race-based social system.

Abstract

Mobile microlearning has become an increasingly relevant pedagogical approach in the English as a Foreign Language (EFL) context, particularly where learners exhibit fragmented study patterns and rely heavily on mobile devices for academic support. Although microlearning is widely adopted, its mechanisms for supporting long-term retention remain insufficiently theorized. Research tends to emphasize engagement and convenience rather than cognitively grounded task design. This study aims to examine the effects of three mobile microlearning task cycles, called spacing, retrieval practice, and mixed-strategy interleaving, on long-term retention among Indonesian EFL learners at Universitas Negeri Manado (UNIMA). A quasi-experimental pretest-posttest design was conducted with 98 Indonesian EFL learners at Universitas Negeri Manado. Participants were assigned to three treatment groups representing spacing, retrieval practice, and mixed-strategy interleaving task cycles and received daily microlearning activities via WhatsApp for eight weeks. Data were collected through pretests, posttests, delayed retention tests, learning analytics, and semi-structured interviews. Quantitative data were analyzed using inferential statistics, while qualitative interview data were subjected to thematic analysis. The results indicate that mixed-strategy interleaving cycles produced significantly higher long-term retention compared to single-strategy cycles, along with more stable weekly participation. Additionally, the qualitative findings indicate that daily micro tasks reduce cognitive load, foster autonomous learning habits, and increase learners’ willingness to engage in incremental study. These findings suggest that the effectiveness of mobile microlearning depends not merely on brevity but on integrating cognitive learning principles into task design, with important implications for EFL pedagogy, digital task design, and mobile learning integration.
