Abstract

This study examines how dialect variation among Javanese speakers in a multicultural community functions as a resource for identity negotiation, social positioning, and group solidarity. Grounded in sociolinguistic and sociocultural perspectives, it investigates how speakers shift between ngoko, madya, and krama in everyday interaction. Using a qualitative case study design involving three participants (n = 3), data were collected through semi-structured interviews and participatory observation. The findings indicate that dialect choice reflects age, social status, and relational proximity, and operates as a symbolic marker of belonging and identity performance. Participants also demonstrate metapragmatic awareness in adapting their speech in intercultural encounters. However, a generational decline in the use of krama reveals tensions between language maintenance and sociocultural change. This study highlights the practical importance of dialect awareness for fostering mutual understanding in multicultural settings and contributes to the discussion of intra-language translingualism, understood as strategic shifting across varieties within a single language to negotiate social meaning and identity.

Abstract

Based on the problem rural students often face limited opportunities to develop English proficiency due to restricted access to digital resources, low digital confidence, and teacher-centered instructional practices, this study aimed to explore how integrating digital literacy into English Language Teaching (ELT) can empower rural students by improving their English abilities, particularly in speaking, writing, and communication. The study employed a Classroom Action Research (CAR) design conducted in two cycles of planning, action, observation, and reflection. Participants consisted of one English teacher and approximately twenty students at SMA Negeri 1 Parigi, Gowa. Data were collected through pre- and post-tests, classroom observations, student and teacher interviews, and observation checklists. The findings indicate notable improvements in students’ digital literacy, learner autonomy, creativity, collaboration, and confidence in using English. Digital storytelling and vlogging activities encouraged students to express ideas, practice spoken English, and develop cultural pride, while online collaborative tasks strengthened teamwork and communication skills. Despite challenges such as limited devices, uneven participation, and unstable internet access, students became more engaged and less dependent on teacher guidance over time. Overall, the study demonstrates that context-sensitive digital literacy practices can transform rural ELT classrooms into more participatory, meaningful, and equitable learning environments.
