Abstract

Media challenges in presenting information are increasingly complex. Mass media sometimes fail to maintain the ethics of journalism, which require them to remain neutral. Large-scale events, such as the Russia-Ukraine war, trigger varying interests within particular social groups or even countries. However, Fairclough argued that there are several conditions under which the media become dependent on or affiliated with power holders or governments, as revealed in a specific branch of Critical Discourse Analysis. This research aims to examine how 9News uses certain language in conveying issues and managing the production and consumption of texts. It also analyzes the social practices created by the discourse of 9News, employing the concept of Media Discourse as a branch of Critical Discourse Analysis, as proposed by Fairclough. As a result, the research found that articles on the 9News website tend to discriminate against Russia and support Ukraine. This bias is influenced by ideology, which affects the delivery, production, and consumption of text. Consequently, the social practices produced by these texts result in injustice, revealing 9News' tendency on the issue.

Abstract

This research aims to analyze lexicon choices, word formation, and reference in English culinary lexicon on food and beverage menus in restaurants and cafes in Kudus City. A descriptive qualitative method was employed, collecting data from 25 establishments, Focusing on lexical choices, word formation processes, and references. Semantic theory and morphological analysis were used to interpret the data. The results show that the lexicon contained in the beverage menu is more diverse than the food menu, as beverage variants are used more on menus than food. In addition, compounding is the dominant word formation process found in the menu. The findings illustrate the influence of local culture in the choice of words used on food and beverage menus, as well as showing creative trends in word formation through compounding. This research contributes to the understanding of how the English culinary lexicon is adapted in local cultural contexts and how word formation processes reflect communication needs in the culinary industry, so that people can mention menu names without changing the pronunciation.

Abstract

Language learning anxiety has long been recognized as a significant challenge to students’ language acquisition, with classroom dynamics playing a critical role. This study examined how such factors influenced language learning anxiety between 2019 and 2024, with particular attention to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Using bibliometric analysis, the study reviewed over 150 publications to identify key research trends, influential works, and major contributors in the field of language education. The analysis revealed a 40% increase in studies focusing on classroom-related anxiety during the review period and highlighted a growing interest in how technology shapes students’ emotional experiences. Findings indicated that supportive classroom environments, characterized by positive teacher-student interactions and strong peer support, were associated with reduced anxiety. The shift to online and hybrid learning introduced both benefits and challenges: while technology facilitated communication for some students, it increased anxiety for others. Despite growing research attention, studies remained fragmented, often examining classroom factors in isolation rather than as interconnected elements. This review offers valuable insights for educators and policymakers, highlighting the need for holistic strategies that promote inclusive and emotionally supportive learning environments. The findings also lay a foundation for future research aimed at reducing language learning anxiety and improving student outcomes across diverse educational contexts.

Abstract

This research aims to explore how gender is constructed and represented through feminism in the films Barbie and Wonder Woman, using Stuart Hall’s representation theory, particularly his constructionist approach. Hall’s theory emphasizes that ‘meaning’ is not just a passive reflection; it’s actively shaped by culture, language, symbols, and the interpretation of social contexts. By employing a qualitative research methodology, this study embraces a constructivist paradigm, which aligns with Hall’s (1997) view that media representations are crafted rather than simply mirroring reality. This perspective highlights how cultural and social contexts play a crucial role in shaping the meanings of media texts. The research focuses on how filmmakers encode meaning in their works and how audiences decode it. The findings reveal that this approach enables a critical engagement with the films' content, allowing for the identification of how they interact with societal ideologies. Both films promote feminist themes by showcasing strong female characters who defy social norms and expectations placed on women, highlighting the importance of critically examining gendered expectations, and illustrating how media can positively influence societal views on gender equality.

Abstract

The study examines how toxic masculine behaviors are represented in the novel Where the Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens. Using Makhanya's (2023) theory on the hazardous effects of masculinity as a framework, the study focuses on the various forms of toxic masculinity and their impacts on the characters. The findings reveal four types of toxic masculine behaviors in the novel: overcompensation through risky behavior, ineffective conflict resolution strategies, domestic abuse and power dynamics, and sexual assault. Among these, domestic abuse and power dynamics emerge as the most dominant form. The analysis highlights how male characters embody these harmful traits to assert dominance and control, perpetuating cycles of violence and trauma. In conclusion, toxic masculinity operates as a deeply rooted cultural problem, reinforcing patriarchal structures and leaving lasting emotional scars on its victims. This portrayal demonstrates that toxic masculinity is not merely an individual flaw but a systemic issue that perpetuates control, violence, and the silencing of women in both private and public spheres.

Abstract

This study describes the subtle practice of language marginalization in the Indonesian higher-education English pedagogy. Employing an autoethnographic method to scrutinize my personal narratives concerning assumptions, biases, and internalized ideologies, I formulated two research questions to guide the inquiry: (1) How does language marginalization take form in the teacher-student interactions and teachers’ perception toward students in the context of Indonesian higher-education English pedagogy? (2) How do these practices of language marginalization relate to language racism in the context of Indonesian higher-education English pedagogy? Through this study, I argue that language marginalization could occur tacitly in any English higher-education subject where students had to showcase their English production, such as speaking and writing courses. This is when their English productions are complained and appropriated due to the internalized monolingual ideology. Language marginalization could also ensue in any classes whether or not teachers demand students to demonstrate their English productive skills. In this case, the phenomenon is bolstered by the teachers’ attitudes and assumptions on students based on students’ physical phenotypes and language production. I also demonstrate how language marginalization relates to language racism in Indonesia’s higher-education settings, in a way that both occur simultaneously and the former fuels the latter. Finally, I suggest some recommendations for Indonesian English teacher for more productive, just pedagogical practices.

Abstract

This research aims to convey the idea of Palestinian freedom through visual and textual modes. Based on Halliday’s SFL (2004) and Kress & Van Leuween’s (1996) visual grammar framework, this research aims to identify the multimodal features and convey contextual meaning within Palestinian protest posters. Furthermore, through this research, researchers examined how these posters represent the idea of Palestinian freedom through verbal and visual modes. There were five posters from the Palestinian Project Posters website analyzed in this research. The results revealed that Palestinians are depicted as the victimized party both in visual and verbal modes; it also voices the independence values so that people are persuaded to support the Palestinian liberation movement. The research is proposed to unveil the factual condition in Palestine through posters and raise awareness of the Palestinian struggle.
