Abstract

This paper exposes power relations of governmentality in Gabriel Garcia Marquez’s short story “One of These Days”. Marquez’s story tells about asymmetric relations between a dentist and his city’s Mayor. The writing must be analyzed through Michel Foucault’s concept of governmentality, in which power is rationalized in shaping disciplines and anti-resistance. Through the qualitative method, this article explores the accentuations of governmentality in Gabriel Garcia Marquez’s “One of These Days”. Throughout the close reading as the technique of collecting data and content analysis as the technique of data analysis, the analysis includes what the city Mayor does in governmentality as forceful power against the dentist. Governmentality is seen in how corrupt behaviour affects subordinate people by implementing power and discipline. In conclusion, governmentality plays a significant role in Marquez’s story since it shows how power is not static but grows through the abusive behaviour of the subject’s power through the discipline of the object.

Abstract

Effective English language teaching demands proficient teachers, as pre-service teachers in the English Education department must possess strong English proficiency to teach effectively. This study investigates the perceptions of metacognitive awareness among pre-service EFL teachers in an Indonesian context. Quantitative data were collected using Balcikanli’s Metacognitive Awareness Inventory (MAI), and qualitative data were gathered through semi-structured interviews. The findings reveal that pre-service teachers in the English Language Education department display varying levels of metacognitive awareness, which impacts their ability to effectively teach English. 60% of participants have a moderate perception of their metacognitive awareness, while 40% exhibit a high level. Key aspects of metacognition, including declarative, procedural, and conditional knowledge, as well as regulation of cognition through planning, monitoring, and evaluating, were examined. It highlighted that the pre-service teachers are generally aware of their learning strengths and weaknesses but face challenges in regulating learning effectively. The study contributes to the field of English language learning and teaching by emphasizing the role of metacognitive awareness in achieving successful language acquisition and suggests that ongoing support and training are essential for pre-service teachers to become effective educators.

Abstract

Humans who have complete freedom tend to feel confused about the choices that exist. They will be confused about what is right and what is not because of the amount of freedom. The song M. I. A. by Avenged Sevenfold tells the story of a soldier who feels confused about his choice when he goes to war. He hopes that what he chooses and does is the right thing, but it is more complex than that. So, how is the Paradox of Freedom reflected in Avenged Sevenfold’s M. I. A.? The analysis involves tensional matters between ‘freedom of’ and ‘freedom to’ in the song through qualitative method. Through the theory of positive and negative freedom by Charles Taylor, people are pushed always to choose positive liberty, but the reality is always negative. It is reflected in this song when goodness never reflects such freedom. Such realization of freedom may also hinder others’ freedom. In conclusion, the paradox of freedom in the song is reflected through the complexities of choices that will emerge one freedom but eliminate another.

Abstract

Burmese Days is a novel by George Orwell, inspired by his experiences as a police officer in Burma. At that time, Burma was under British colonial rule, which led to the belief that local people were inferior to British people. This research aims to show how George Orwell depicts one of the characters, Ellis, with a sense of superiority and racism based on paternalism. The research uses a qualitative descriptive method, using Edward Said’s theory of Orientalism as the primary source to understand how the West defines the East. Orientalism is a way to understand the East based on the experiences and knowledge of Europeans. This research aims to discover the sense of paternalism in the novel and how paternalism caused racism and superiority. The researchers found that the arrival of the British to Burmese made Ellis think that local people could not govern themselves. He felt that local people were destined to be enslaved, and this sense of colonialist paternalism caused racism and superiority to emerge in him. Ellis firmly refused to accept local people into the club by raising the issue of racism and the superiority of British people over local people.

Abstract

Language style has an important role because interaction cannot go ahead if one does not speak the right style according to the situation. Furthermore, sometimes, there are still errors in language that are not adapted to situations when communicating in everyday life. This research aims to discover the types and functions of the language styles used in Elon Musk’s speech. The method used is descriptive qualitative. The object of this research is Elon Musk’s speech in the form of a transcript of a video from the YouTube channel entitled English Speech | Elon Musk: Future, A.I. and Mars (English Subtitles), which was released in 2018. The result shows that three types of language styles have been found: casual, consultative, and formal. Six functions have been found in this speech: referential, directive, expressive, phatic or social, poetic, and metalinguistic functions. Learning language style is very important as people can communicate with others according to where and with whom they speak so that the listener quickly understands the conversation.

Abstract

The concepts of EFL learners’ perceptions of online learning in current literature were generated by research conducted before and amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Due to the different status of online learning post-COVID-19, these concepts might have been unfashionable. This explanatory sequential mixed methods study aimed to uncover pre-service EFL teachers’ perceptions of asynchronous online learning (AOL) and synchronous online learning (SOL) post-COVID-19 pandemic to fill in the gap. Involving 34 pre-service EFL teachers at Universitas Kristen Indonesia, data were collected and triangulated using a survey and a semi-structured interview. The results revealed that the participants had positive perceptions of AOL and SOL. However, their perception of AOL was higher in terms of engagement, interaction, collaboration, and advantages than that of SOL. The latter was higher only in social presence, indicating the AOL’s superiority over SOL. The participants also believed that, if designed well and supported by high-quality tools, an internet connection, and bandwidth, both AOL and SOL can facilitate a robust learning environment for EFL learning and teaching. Thus, future research should focus on instructional designs of both AOL and SOL (or their combination) that can optimize their power for delivering learning materials and experiences.

Abstract

The development of social media presents new challenges related to the dynamics of digital communication, one of which is the cyber clashes between influencers and netizens on the TikTok platform. This phenomenon can be seen in the increase in violence on social media, one of which is verbal violence, such as abusive comments, threats, or insults to hate speech. Researchers conducted interviews with four influencers aged 19-26 years who have experienced violence on social TikTok. In addition, researchers also interviewed five netizens who are active on TikTok. Researchers want to examine the cyber clash between influencers and netizens more deeply in the context of verbal violence. Using descriptive qualitative research methods and interview approaches, researchers want to reveal the factors that drive cyber clashes and the impacts on the parties involved. The results showed that verbal violence occurs because there are differences in views, cancel culture and hyper-reactivity, as well as anonymity and impurity, and with that, the results showed. All informants received indirect types of verbal violence through their social media in the form of ridicule, body shaming, and bullying. This research is expected to provide recommendations to reduce verbal violence in the digital space and promote ethics.

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the dynamics of the MSME product naming process in Kotakulon Village and analyze the role of names in shaping the brand image. The study used ethnolinguistics analysis combined with a qualitative descriptive method to determine the dynamic of the naming process. Ethnolinguistics theory was used to solve the research questions: (1) how is the product naming process, and (2) what is the background behind the product naming process? The experts and the owner of the MSME product were contacted for observations, interviews, and documentation to gather data. The results show that the dynamic of the product naming process has eight categories. Those are processed product name, original product name, local language product name, acronym product name, local product name, shape characteristics product name, unique product name, and owner’s product name. The study concludes that MSME owners should know the importance of brand image. The benefit is that it will make the product better known to the public and make consumers repurchase it.
