Abstract

This study analyzes the shifts of text worlds in the novel Saman through Cognitive Poetics, particularly Text World Theory and the activation of mental schemata. With its multigenre character, ranging from poetic, documentary, erotic, and religious modes to light conversation and tragedy, Saman presents stylistic transitions that continually reshape the reader’s spatial, temporal, evaluative, and emotional orientations. The research employs a qualitative approach with units of analysis in the form of narrative fragments that mark genre transitions. The analysis involves close reading, text-world mapping, schema tracking, and the assessment of inter-genre coherence. The findings reveal three major cognitive strategies: the shift from phatic to evidential schemata in personal tragedy, the transition from embodied cognition to moral reasoning in erotic–religious passages, and the emergence of structured empathy in the move from poetic to documentary modes. This study fills a gap in previous research, which has rarely discussed the cognitive experience of Saman’s readers, while also highlighting the novel’s uniqueness as a multigenre text that demands high cognitive flexibility from its audience.

Abstract

This study examines the role of sustained face-threatening acts (FTAs) in the psychological decline of Arthur Fleck in Joker (2019) and their contribution to identity fragmentation. This study aims to explain how recurrent threats to positive and negative face function as a sociopragmatic mechanism that erodes self-esteem and accelerates psychological disintegration. Drawing on Brown and Levinson’s (1987) face theory, the study adopts a qualitative descriptive approach to identify and classify FTAs across six key scenes and interpret them within their broader social contexts. The analysis reveals that Arthur is persistently subjected to bald-on-record and unmitigated FTAs that undermine his positive face, while his negative face is constrained in institutional interactions, particularly in therapeutic settings. These patterns reflect clear power asymmetries and demonstrate how linguistic marginalization aligns with broader forms of social exclusion. The study concludes that the cumulative impact of FTAs constitutes a sociopragmatic process through which micro-level linguistic aggression contributes to the erosion of identity and the narrative transformation of Arthur Fleck into the Joker.

Abstract

This study examines the personality traits of key characters in the biographical film Milk (2008) through the lens of the Big Five personality theory, which includes Openness, Conscientiousness, Extraversion, Agreeableness, and Neuroticism. The research focuses on five central figures—Harvey Milk, Dan White, Anne Kronenberg, Scott Smith, and Mayor George Moscone—to explore how their behaviors, interpersonal interactions, and decision-making reflect distinct personality dimensions. Data were collected through qualitative analysis of character actions, dialogue, and pivotal scenes, followed by categorization according to Big Five traits. The findings reveal significant contrasts among the characters: Harvey Milk demonstrates high openness, conscientiousness, and extraversion, coupled with moderate neuroticism; Dan White exhibits low openness and agreeableness but high neuroticism, explaining his impulsive and destructive behavior; Anne Kronenberg exemplifies organizational competence and emotional stability; Scott Smith shows introversion and moderate neuroticism reflecting personal conflict; and Mayor Moscone illustrates emotional steadiness and cooperative leadership. This study contributes to the understanding of character psychology in biographical cinema, highlighting how personality traits influence both individual behavior and relational dynamics within socio-political contexts. Implications for film studies, psychology, and leadership research are discussed.

Abstract

This study investigates grammatical errors in writing daily composition texts among eleventh-grade students at MA Al-Falah. The research addresses two main questions: the types of grammatical errors that occur in students’ compositions on daily activities and the most dominant type of error. Grammatical accuracy is an essential aspect of writing proficiency, yet many students struggle to produce error-free compositions. A qualitative research design was employed, with 26 students as respondents. Data were collected through documentation of students’ written works and analyzed to identify error types based on a linguistic error taxonomy. The findings reveal four types of errors: omission, addition, misformation, and misordering. Omission errors were the most frequent, occurring in 61,76% of cases, followed by addition at 38,24%, while misformation and misordering did not appear in the data. These outcomes underscore the critical necessity for strategically structured pedagogical interventions, specifically targeting morphological omissions and syntactic additions, to substantively elevate students' academic writing proficiency and structural precision.

Abstract

This study investigates errors in the use of grammatical cohesion devices in students’ recount writing at MA Ma’arif An-Nur. Grammatical cohesion is essential for creating coherent and meaningful texts; however, many EFL learners experience difficulties in using cohesive devices appropriately. This study aims to identify the types and patterns of errors in the use of grammatical cohesion devices.A qualitative descriptive design with an error analysis approach was employed. The data were collected from recount texts written by twenty tenth-grade students selected through purposive sampling. The analysis focused on four types of grammatical cohesion devices: reference, substitution, ellipsis, and conjunction.The findings indicate that reference and conjunction were the most frequently used cohesion devices and accounted for the majority of errors. Common errors included incorrect pronoun references and inappropriate use of conjunctions. In contrast, substitution and ellipsis were used less frequently, suggesting limited student mastery of these devices. The errors were influenced by students’ limited grammatical knowledge, first-language interference, and insufficient writing practice.In conclusion, students still face difficulties in applying grammatical cohesion devices accurately in recount writing. Therefore, more focused instruction and extensive writing practice are needed to improve students’ ability to produce coherent and cohesive texts.

Abstract

A gradual shift in language learning toward its communicative purpose has put productive skills, such as speaking, in the spotlight. In fact, developing speaking skills is challenging for foreign-language learners due to the interplay of affective, linguistic, and sociocultural factors throughout the process. The recent innovation of a collaborative online board, Padlet, has successfully accommodated learners’ needs for affection, linguistic support, and interaction in developing speaking skills. While prior research predominantly focused on students’ perspectives on using Padlet, this study employs the technology review genre to examine the application itself and critically evaluate the potential benefits and challenges of Padlet for second-language speaking-skill learning, framed within the language-learning principles of Egbert and Shahrokni (2018). Adapting the technology-in-depth exploration approach proposed by Kritandani et al. (2024), the authors present a systematic and credible evaluation.  The study results showed that Padlet has the potential to provide comprehensible input, support language output, facilitate learners’ noticing, increase social interaction, and provide immediate input. Apart from the benefits, the potential challenges in its integration include low internet connectivity in certain rural areas, the ambiguity of picture search, and learners’ uneasiness about both recording themselves and receiving feedback in public. For optimal use, learners should build trusting relationships within their learning community, which may enable them to participate actively in online speaking activities. For beginner learners, the presence of trained instructors may help prevent exposure to unrelated content. It is also advisable for learners to watch the tutorial videos provided by the platform beforehand.

Abstract

his study was conducted to examine and describe the role of implementing A La Carte model within blended learning in speaking instruction. Blended learning refers to an instructional approach that integrates conventional face-to-face teaching with technology-supported learning activities that can be carried out through both online and offline platforms. The study employed a pre-experimental research design involving a single experimental class as the main subject of observation. The participants consisted of 26 tenth-grade students of SMA NU Centini, Laren, Lamongan. Data were collected using several instruments, namely observation, interviews, and speaking tests. The collected data were subsequently analyzed using the SPSS statistical program to determine the effectiveness of A La Carte blended learning model in improving students’ speaking ability. The findings from the t-test analysis indicated that the significance value was 0.000, which was lower than the significance threshold of 0.05 (0.000 < 0.05). In addition, descriptive analysis revealed an increase in students’ performance, where the average pre-test score was 53.38 and improved to 68.15 in the post-test. Based on these results, the alternative hypothesis (Ha) was accepted, indicating that the implementation of A La Carte blended learning model had a statistically significant effect on enhancing students’ speaking skills.

Abstract

The increasing use of social media in hospitality marketing has encouraged hotels to employ persuasive language to influence consumer perceptions and engagement. However, limited studies have specifically examined how persuasive language is utilized in Instagram captions within the hospitality industry, particularly through the lens of Cialdini’s principles of persuasion. This study aims to identify the types of persuasive language used in Instagram captions posted by The Westin Resort Nusa Dua Bali and analyze their functions in delivering promotional messages. Employing a descriptive qualitative approach, the study analyzed 27 Instagram captions collected from the hotel’s official account over a seven-month period. The data were examined using Cialdini’s principles of persuasion, including liking, unity, reciprocity, commitment and consistency, and scarcity. The findings reveal that five types of persuasive language are present, with liking emerging as the most dominant strategy, indicating a strong emphasis on emotional and experiential appeals. Each persuasive principle serves a distinct function: liking fosters emotional engagement, unity promotes a sense of togetherness, reciprocity highlights added value, commitment and consistency encourage customer participation, and scarcity enhances perceptions of exclusivity. These findings demonstrate that persuasive communication in hospitality marketing is conveyed more through subtle and experience-oriented messages than direct promotional appeals. This study contributes to digital marketing and hospitality literature by providing insights into how persuasive strategies are applied in hotel Instagram captions and offers practical guidance for developing more engaging and effective social media promotional content.

Abstract

This study investigates the role of collaboration between schools and industry in enhancing the relevance of English language instruction in the Software and Game Development (PPLG) Department at SMK Negeri 1 Bangil. Despite the growing demand for English for Specific Purposes (ESP) competencies in the technology sector, previous studies have largely focused on vocational curriculum alignment and workplace readiness without specifically examining how school-industry collaboration shapes English language instruction in vocational technology programs. This research addresses this gap by exploring the integration of industry needs into English learning practices within the PPLG context. The study employs a qualitative case study design supported by quantitative descriptive data to strengthen the interpretation of findings. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, documentation analysis, and student questionnaires involving English teachers, productive subject teachers, industry representatives, school management, and students. Data were analysed using the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña, while quantitative findings were used to complement and validate qualitative interpretations. The findings reveal that school-industry collaboration is implemented through industry-informed curriculum development, internship programs, guest lectures, and project-based learning activities. Quantitative data indicate that 84% of students perceive English instruction as more relevant and aligned with workplace communication needs after the implementation of collaborative programs. Qualitative findings further demonstrate improvements in students’ professional email writing, technical documentation, presentation skills, and contextual understanding of industry communication practices. However, challenges remain, including limited teacher time for curriculum adaptation, differing stakeholder perspectives, and dependence on specific industry partners.

Abstract

This study aims to describe and analyze the representation of social identity and popular culture reflected in the language variations used by Generation Z on the social media platform TikTok. The phenomenon of code-mixing and the use of slang expressions constitute the primary focus of this research in order to examine how language transforms within the digital ecosystem. This study employs a descriptive qualitative method with a sociolinguistic approach. The data were collected through observation and note-taking techniques from ten TikTok video uploads created by various content creators representing issues related to commerce, politics, mental health, and lifestyle. The data analysis was conducted by relating linguistic units to their social contexts using Pierre Bourdieu’s Theory of Cultural Capital and Howard Giles’ Communication Accommodation Theory. The findings reveal that: (1) language variations, particularly English-Indonesian code-mixing, function as a form of cultural capital to project a modern and cosmopolitan identity; (2) the use of slang and acronyms serves as a means of communication efficiency and group solidarity formation; and (3) language use on TikTok represents fluid social identities, ranging from egalitarian and masculine identities to reflective self-representations. The study concludes that TikTok has become a dynamic linguistic laboratory in which Generation Z negotiates identity and disseminates new popular cultural values through inclusive linguistic creativity.
