Abstract

The phenomenon of micro-influencers in Indonesia continues to grow alongside the increasing use of social media in digital marketing. One of the key factors determining the success of micro-influencers in building engagement and branding is the linguistic strategies they employ. However, in-depth studies on how language use can enhance audience interaction and brand appeal remain limited. Therefore, this study aims to develop an effective model of linguistic strategies for micro-influencers to boost audience engagement and strengthen their personal branding.This research adopts a qualitative method with digital discourse analysis of micro-influencer content on platforms such as Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube. Data were collected through sampling of social media posts, interviews with micro-influencers and their audiences, and analysis of interactions in the form of comments and engagement metrics. The analytical techniques used include critical discourse analysis to identify communication patterns, sentiment analysis to measure audience responses, and the development of a conceptual model of linguistic strategies based on the findings. The results of this study not only contribute academically to the field of digital linguistics but also have practical implications in helping micro-influencers and brands optimize their communication strategies on social media.

Abstract

Cultural stereotypes in English Language Teaching (ELT) textbooks may influence how students shape their perspectives towards the cultures being studied, yet little research discusses how cultural stereotypes emerge in ELT textbooks. This study aimed to describe the cultural stereotypes in an ELT textbook published by the Indonesian government. The book being analyzed was entitled English for Nusantara SMP/MTs KELAS VII for the seventh grade of junior high school. The data were collected and analyzed through content analysis to point out the valid inference. The findings showed that cultural stereotypes were depicted in the textbook in several ways: appearance, gender, behavior, and lifestyle. This study may provide an insight into how cultural stereotypes are depicted in the textbook, and it may contribute practically for textbook designers or material developers to take into account how cultural values will be included into textbook in order to avoid creating stereotypes for a particular culture. Furthermore, this study may also help the teachers take into account cultural stereotypes in designing and selecting learning materials for students.

Abstract

Madrassas in Pakistan serve as vital institutions for religious education, providing free teaching and accommodation to students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. However, several Madrassa graduates face financial challenges upon entering the job market as a result of the rapidly changing technological environment. The majority of these graduates get employment in low-wage roles such as mosque management, madrassa instruction, or labour jobs in profit-oriented enterprises. Madrassas do not include non-religious subjects or technical education in its curriculum, and the government has shown little inclination to support these institutions. An investigation was carried out in the Khairpur area, whereby a sample of 250 Madrassa graduates was selected at random and subjected to a survey in order to analyse these issues. Based on the survey findings, these graduates had difficulties in providing financial assistance for their families. To improve their quality of life, it is recommended that the government provide scholarships and recognise the value of their degrees by granting them credit. The report also indicates that Madrassa graduates should engage in vocational training programmes to facilitate their successful integration into the labour market. In summary, the research highlights the economic challenges that Madrassa graduates in Pakistan encounter and proposes strategies to improve their prospects for the future.

Abstract

This study explores the representation of gender roles in the government-published English for Nusantara VII textbook for seventh-grade students, focusing on the portrayal of male and female characters in imagery and the actions they perform. Gender representation in educational materials is crucial, as it can shape students’ perceptions of societal roles. Despite efforts to promote gender equality in education, textbooks often exhibit gender biases, either by underrepresenting females or depicting them in stereotypical roles. This research addresses the gap in existing studies by examining the frequency and types of activities associated with male and female characters in the textbook. A content analysis method was used to quantify and analyze the presence and actions of male and female characters. The findings reveal a significant gender imbalance: male characters appeared more frequently and were often depicted in active, leadership, and outdoor roles, while female characters were more passive, engaging in stereotypically feminine tasks like reading and household chores. The implication of this study is that such gender biases in educational materials may reinforce traditional stereotypes, potentially influencing how students perceive gender roles in society. Addressing this issue is vital for promoting gender equality in education. Future research should explore the impact of these representations on students' learning and development, and seek to create more balanced and inclusive educational resources that challenge traditional gender norms.

Abstract

The trend of Qur’anic recitation competitions, popularly known as Musabaqah, has grown rapidly across the Muslim globe since its inception at the international level in Malaysia in 1961 as a way to display the importance and value of Quranic recitation and memorization and inspire Muslims to do their best to understand and cherish the divine message of the Quran. This study examines Musabaqah's contribution to promoting Arabic in northern Nigeria, with a focus on Kaduna State. The research uses a qualitative method to collect data through observation and interviews with selected individuals within the state. The findings indicate that Musabaqah has a positive impact on Arabic language learning and use in the state, as it creates a competitive spirit among Muslims to learn more about the Arabic language in order to have a better understanding of the Quran and its sciences and increases community interest in learning Arabic. Therefore, the study recommends that the Nigerian Ministry of Education, in collaboration with the bodies regulating Musabaqah and teaching Arabic and Islamic studies, organize seminars and workshops that promote Arabic and preserve its cultural heritage. Finally, offering incentives, awards, and scholarships will motivate the competitors and enhance their capacity to participate favourably with any of their counterparts globally.

Abstract

The primary objective of this study is to explore how English Department students perceive peer assessment as a means to enhance critical thinking in writing. The research involved forty English students who had previous experience with peer assessment in their writing class. Data collection was achieved through a four-point Likert-Scale questionnaire and semi-structured interviews. Qualitative data analysis using thematic analysis was employed to analyze the collected data. The findings indicated that the majority of students (92.84%) viewed peer assessment positively, as they believed it raised their awareness and consciousness of writing skills. Moreover, 81.89% of students expressed that peer assessment was beneficial in fostering better critical thinking skills, leading them to approach writing more critically. Students generally regarded their peers as capable of providing valuable feedback on their writing, resulting in improved critical thinking due to the reviews they received or provided. However, a small number of students had negative perceptions of peer assessment for improving critical thinking. Their reluctance stemmed from low motivation to actively participate in the peer assessment process and the belief that their friends evaluated their writing unfairly based on personal relationships.
