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.

Abstract

The relationship between the United States and Iran has long been marked by tensions, particularly over nuclear issues, economic sanctions, and regional conflicts. Under the Trump administration, these tensions escalated further, especially after the U.S. withdrew from the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) in 2018. Trump's rhetoric on social media reflected his administration’s hardline stance toward Iran, making it a critical subject of linguistic analysis. The study aimed to investigate the semantic preference and semantic prosody of the collocation of Iran in Trump’s social media. This research focuses on a corpus-based study of Trump’s social media posts, compiled exclusively from those made during his presidency, from January 2017 to January 2021. The corpus dataset of @realdonaldtrump was taken from the trumptweetarchiever.com site, official Facebook and Instagram accounts from January 2017 to January 2021, which were collected in the form of a text compilation with the date containing all tweets and posts related to the country of Iran, then what are the lexicogrammatical elements that accompany it, as well as semantic categories involved in the collocation of these words. Considering the results of the MI (mutual information) score, the single keyword Iran in Trump's social media corpus tends to be associated with collocations related to the issue of economic sanctions, namely the nuclear deal. The results indicated that the keyword Iran carries a predominantly negative semantic preference, although not all keywords associated with Iran hold a positive meaning upon evaluating the concordance. The study concluded that Trump tends to portray the word Iran in a negative light.

Abstract

Mimicry generally entails the colonized emulating the culture of the colonizer. In The Revenant (2015), the notion of mimicry is inverted, with the colonizer emulating the colonized. While prior research indicated that reverse imitation serves as a subtle method for colonizers to exert their dominance, the analyzed film demonstrated the contrary. This study employs a textual film analysis to scrutinize the film's visual composition, character representation, and symbolic imagery through Homi K. Bhabha's concepts of mimicry and ambivalence. It concludes that Glass's imitation of Native American survival practices, including the consumption of raw flesh and the use of natural remedies, symbolizes his negotiation between colonial identity and reliance on the culture of the colonized. This study underscores how reverse mimicry complicates colonial hierarchies and identity formation within postcolonial film studies.

Abstract

Reader or user interaction is one of the main attractions of Cyber Literature. Cyber literature allows its readers to be involved in shaping the story or altering the plot within a narrative. This is made possible by the development of Hypertext technology in cyber literary works. Hypertext enables user and reader involvement within the text of a literary work. This study uses the theory of hypertext and the cyborg author by Espen J. Aarseth. The theory is used to understand how users and readers operate within cyber texts and to comprehend the function of hypertext in cyber literature. The work The Water Seller (Mai Ruwa) (2023) by Faith Bassey and Deena Larsen serves as the material object of this research. The study finds that the use of hypertext in The Water Seller (Mai Ruwa) appears merely as an attachment and does not provide an active interactive experience for the reader (user). As a result, the interaction of the cyborg author with the work is limited, resembling the interpretation of conventional literary texts.

Abstract

This research re-examines or re-analyses the paradox in the novel Wuthering Heights, but focuses on the paradox contained in the identity of the characters based on the narrator's narration. The paradox is created by the contradiction of the place where the characters live, namely nature and culture, then heredity and environment. This research discusses how these contradictions can create and become a factor in the formation of paradox in the character's identity. This research also discusses what paradoxes are found in the character's identity which is an important element in the story of Wuthering Heights. The theory used in this research is Deconstruction proposed by Jacques Derrida as the main foundation in analyzing the object. The research design used in this research is literary criticism. The approach used is an objective approach, where the focus of analysis is entirely on the object of study. The primary data source of this research is the novel Wuthering Heights (1847) by Emily Brontë and secondary data obtained from other sources such as relevant journals, books, and media articles. This research shows that the opposition of nature and culture, then heredity and environment, has no dominant side. However, these oppositions influence each other and create complexity, thus creating various paradoxes in the character's identity.

Abstract

The study describes how women use language by using linguistic features in televised interviews featuring prominent female figures, focusing on Oprah Winfrey and her guests, Brené Brown and Esther Perel, which become the characteristics of women's language.  It intends to analyse the relevance using of Lakoff’s theory and the strategy of language features produced by women's language. The study was designed using a descriptive qualitative method to describe the women's language features performed by Oprah Winfrey and her guests, Brené Brown and Esther Perel. The instrument was the researchers themselves who played an important role in collecting and analyzing the data. The data were taken from three unscripted interviews that analyzed the use and function of language features like hedges, tag questions, super polite forms, avoidance of strong assertions, empty adjectives, and emphatic stress. Thus, the data were analyzed by using frameworks from Lakoff, Tannen, Holmes, Coates, and Cameron by coding and interpreting them based on pragmatic functions and their relation. The study reveals that these linguistic features do not indicate weakness or deference, but are used as a strategy to communicate, especially in showing empathy, managing authority, and constructing relational identity. The study also shows the absence of selective features such as hypercorrect grammar and precise color terms which indicates adaptation of conversational norms in media discourse. The result supports the understanding of femininity both in performative and rhetorical contexts in which gendered speech is used to reflect identity and as a sensitive practice in a context. It also contributes to the study of language and gender that bridge the classic sociolinguistics theories and contempered discourse in emotionally expressive media
