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 research aimed to explore the role of electronic media in enhancing English language learning among high school students in Banjarmasin, Indonesia. The research focused on students’ perceptions and their experiences with digital platforms, apps, and social media. The rapid advancement of technology has made electronic media essential tools in Education, offering students flexible, engaging, and interactive learning opportunities. Despite these benefits, challenges such as limited internet access, insufficient digital skills, and lack of direct teacher interaction were also noted. The findings revealed that students found electronic media motivating and enjoyable, particularly in developing listening and speaking skills. They appreciated the easy access to learning materials and the flexibility to learn anytime and anywhere. However, the lack of in-depth teacher explanations and the dependency on a stable internet connection remained significant barriers. The research suggested that while electronic media could significantly enhance language learning, their full potential could only be realized by addressing technological challenges and promoting digital literacy.

Abstract

The ability to write a text is important for students to develop. However, not everyone can carry out and make this skill an easy and popular activity. Various groups of students who study at university are important to make this writing activity a pleasure, as it will aim to convey ideas more broadly. Not only that, but they will also compile their final project or thesis as students. In this case, it is important to be carried out, especially in sharpening thinking patterns, conveying ideas, and providing new experiences in learning English, especially in writing activities. This research covers an implementation of learning writing through a genre-based and process-based approach. It uses a research method with a type of comparison that distinguishes between two independent variables. The result of this study, based on the significance of a t-test score, is 0.887, which is higher than 0.05, meaning that there is no significant difference between learning by using a process-based approach and a genre-based approach on writing skill. The researcher used a sample by dividing the class into two groups using a post-test score.

Abstract

This study explores the rhetorical structure of Indonesian research article (RA) introductions by examining how they align with or diverge from Swales’ Create-A-Research-Space (CARS) model, as interpreted through Loi’s contrastive rhetoric framework. Using a qualitative genre analysis of 30 RA introductions from SINTA tier 1-3 Indonesian journals in linguistics and education, published between 2022-2024, the research identifies the presence and realization of the three CARS moves. Findings show that while Move 1 (establishing a territory) and Move 3 (occupying the niche) appear in all texts, and Move 2 (establishing a niche) in most, their rhetorical realization diverges from conventional Anglophone patterns. Indonesian authors tend to expand Move 1 with philosophical or policy-based narratives, express Move 2 indirectly without explicit critique, and delay or repeat Move 3 in a recursive fashion. These patterns reveal dominant cultural-rhetorical strategies such as indirectness, collective voice, and contextual elaboration. The findings underscore the influence of local discourse traditions on academic writing and call for more culturally responsive genre models in English for Academic Purposes (EAP) pedagogy.

Abstract

The animated movie Barbie as the Princess and the Pauper (2004) shows a conflict between characters who demonstrate inappropriate behaviour and are contrary to social norms. The article aims to demystify the representation of several social pathology acts and the impact of these actions using a qualitative method through a Sociology of Literature approach by Alan Swingewood. Furthermore, this article also employs a cinematography theory approach (mise-en-scene) to identify elements of social pathology based on camera movements, character expressions, costumes, and location settings in the movie. The article finds several forms of social pathologies, such as theft, extortion, animal abuse, and abduction, which lead to the kingdom’s bankruptcy, the mistreatment of animals, restrictions on rights, and anxiety among the families of those affected. It can be concluded that the animated movie provides an overview of social pathology forms using the sociology of literature theory, making it suitable for education and self-awareness among a wider audience about real-life criminality.

Abstract

The increasing use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in language learning has opened new opportunities for improving second language (L2) pronunciation skills. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of integrating artificial intelligence into second language pronunciation training by examining its impact on learners' outcomes through a mixed-methods approach. Quantitative results from 60 participants showed the AI group (M=4.89) significantly outperformed the control group (M=3.71) in post-tests (p=0.001), with an 85% vs 65% improvement rate. Qualitative interviews revealed three key findings: (1) real-time feedback enhanced engagement and self-confidence, (2) notable improvements in intonation and stress patterns, but (3) limitations in recognizing regional accents. The results demonstrate that AI-assisted pronunciation training offers clear advantages over traditional methods in enhancing L2 pronunciation. However, limitations in accent recognition highlight the need for further development of AI speech processing technologies. This study provides empirical support for integrating AI into language education, highlighting its potential and areas that require improvement.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze how the cooperative principle is translated in the response utterances of a character with Tourette syndrome in the novel Motherless Brooklyn. The research uses a descriptive qualitative method with a product-oriented focus. The data sources include the novel itself and raters who evaluate the translation. The data consist of linguistic features and aspects of translation. Data were collected through document analysis and Focus Group Discussions (FGD). The study applies an ethnographic approach, using Spradley’s method for data analysis. The findings reveal that the utterances influenced by Tourette syndrome result in noticeable shifts in translation. Two primary patterns of conversational maxim violations were identified. The first pattern is caused by the symptoms of Tourette syndrome, including echolalia, coprolalia, and palilalia, which disrupt typical patterns of speech. The second pattern involves deliberate maxim violations driven by specific communicative intentions. These findings highlight the complexity of translating neurodivergent speech and emphasize the importance of contextual and pragmatic awareness in maintaining the speaker’s original meaning and intent.
