Abstract

This study explores the pedagogical impact of small-scale instruction strategies, also known as microteaching, on the professional development of English-speaking educators. In response to the persistent theory-practice divide in teacher education, small-scale instruction offers a practical framework for skill-based learning through iterative teaching sessions, guided feedback, and reflective practices. This research investigates how microteaching enhances classroom performance, instructional confidence, and student-centered delivery. The study applies a qualitative, literature-based method and synthesizes findings from over 80 global and regional peer-reviewed sources. Key challenges identified include inadequate theoretical integration, insufficient instructional resources, limited digital infrastructure, and evaluation gaps. At the same time, the literature highlights the potential of video-based feedback, context-sensitive teaching simulations, and constructivist alignment to optimize learning outcomes. The findings advocate for a comprehensive, digitally supported, and culturally responsive microteaching framework, particularly suited for low-resource and linguistically diverse educational contexts. This paper contributes to teacher training discourse by offering scalable, evidence-based models adaptable to dynamic classroom environments.

Abstract

This study examines the methodical frameworks in textual, political, and critical discourse analysis by three case studies: the continuity of sense in wartime, local coherence in political communiqué and formal properties of literary language. As master’s theses defended at Jerash University, Jordan in 2022/2023.These master’s theses sought to handle the key issues in the related studies. They also evaluated the efficacy of the corpus - based approaches in analyzing discursive phenomena and in real-world language patterns to understand how context influences meaning. The study utilizes a qualitative case-study method to explore essential subjects in DA along with their sampling frames and instrumental designs. By examining of linguistic corpora from such fields as literature, politics and intercultural debates, the efficacy of well-structured methods in enabling detailed analyses and revealing new insights is illustrated. Zelensky’s (2022) Addresses in Ukraine’s Crisis, Obama’s (2020) A Promised Land and Hosseini’s (2007) A Thousand Splendid Suns represent these research areas. The results emphasize the potential of corpus-based methods to provide crucial insights and vital resources for persuasion, diplomacy and interpretation, carrying values for related areas like translation studies, semiotics, political communication and pragmatics.

Abstract

The undeniable enticement of Artificial Intelligence (AI) goes across every aspect of daily basis, and education is no exception. The obstacles remain present due to the sociodemographic factors, and eventually, they touch the preconceived judgments teachers have. This research is aimed at investigating how stigmatization and sociodemographics of students in choosing the best AI for students. This research was conducted using qualitative research, i.e., interviews of twelve teachers who were selected based on the curated criteria and thematic analysis. The findings suggest that teachers stigmatize students according to the sociodemographic factors, consisting of gender, age, ethnicity, proficiency, economic level, previous education, and financial aid. Teachers take their consideration of choosing AI based on the sociodemographic. As a result, it greatly helps students in achieving learning outcomes. The findings agree with the notion that AI implementation should be adjusted to the students’ needs, though in this case, it involves stigmatization as an initial step. Therefore, for future researchers, it will be necessary to understand the indication of stigmatization in the implementation of AI, especially in settings that encompass multiple backgrounds.

Abstract

This study investigates the process of translating nonce words in Indonesian subtitles of the musical fantasy film Wicked, focusing on the challenges posed by highly creative and humorous expressions that remain underexplored in audiovisual translation studies. Set in the magical land of Oz, the film incorporates playful and imaginative expressions like Galindafied and braverism, which present unique translation difficulties. The study employs content analysis to compare human-generated subtitles from Apple TV with AI-generated subtitles produced by ChatGPT. While both human and AI translations tend to convey the general meaning of the nonce words, they fail to capture the stylistic and humorous nuances present in the source language. Human translations can be literal or omit creative expressions entirely, suggesting that neither method fully encapsulates the inventiveness and playfulness of the source language. This study underscores the importance of developing more adaptable strategies for translating highly creative audiovisual texts.

Abstract

This study investigates the use of implicature in the lyrics of Radiohead’s album OK Computer within the broader field of pragmatics, emphasizing how meaning is constructed beyond literal interpretation in artistic discourse. The study aims to identify the types of implicature present in the album and to explain how implied meanings are generated through linguistic choices in song lyrics. Grounded in H. P. Grice’s theory of conversational implicature and the Cooperative Principle, this qualitative research analyzes eight selected songs from OK Computer: “Airbag,” “Paranoid Android,” “Subterranean Homesick Alien,” “Let Down,” “Karma Police,” “No Surprises,” “Climbing Up the Walls,” and “Lucky.” The analysis focuses on the observance and flouting of Grice’s maxims of Quantity, Quality, Relation, and Manner to uncover implicit meanings embedded in the lyrics. The findings reveal a total of 85 implicatures, consisting of 83 conversational implicatures and 2 conventional implicatures, indicating that conversational implicature is the dominant strategy employed throughout the album. Songs such as “Climbing Up the Walls,” “Airbag,” and “Let Down” show a high frequency of implicature, reflecting themes of fear, alienation, technological anxiety, and emotional vulnerability. In conclusion, the study demonstrates that implicature functions as a central pragmatic device in OK Computer, enabling Radiohead to communicate complex emotional and social meanings while maintaining poetic subtlety and interpretive openness.

Abstract

Previous studies on The King of Staten Island (2020) have largely focused on themes of masculinity, adulthood, or autobiographical elements of the filmmaker, while psychological analyses of grief in the film remain limited and theoretically underexplored. This study addresses this gap by examining Scott Carlin’s grieving process through Elisabeth Kübler-Ross’s Five Stages of Grief, while critically acknowledging contemporary perspectives that conceptualize grief as non-linear and cyclical. Employing qualitative narrative analysis, this research integrates an intrinsic approach, focusing on characterization, plot development, and setting, with an extrinsic psychological framework to interpret Scott’s emotional responses to loss. Data were collected through systematic note-taking, in which selected dialogues, actions, and key scenes were categorized based on explicit emotional indicators corresponding to denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. The findings demonstrate that Scott experiences all five stages in a non-linear pattern, with denial and anger recurring most prominently, while acceptance emerges gradually through relational transformation rather than emotional resolution. This study contributes to psychological film analysis by demonstrating how Kübler-Ross’s model can be applied flexibly rather than sequentially, thereby reflecting the complexity of grief representation in contemporary cinema. Practically, the findings highlight the potential of movie scripts as a medium for fostering emotional awareness and understanding of unresolved grief, particularly among young adults.

Abstract

This comparative mixed-method study examines declarative speech acts in elderly care communication across two contrasting contexts:  the fictional portrayal in The Father by Florian Zeller and real-life interactions within the LANTERA program in Paseh, Bandung. This study is grounded in the theoretical framework of Pragmatics, particularly speech act theory. The research investigates how declarative functions such as informing, asserting, clarifying, reassuring, assigning roles, and expressing authority construct social meaning in caregiving. Data on fictional text are examined through discourse analysis, while data from the LANTERA program derive from questionnaires, observations, and semi-structured interviews, supported by descriptive statistics on respondents’ characteristics and communication patterns. Finding indicates both convergence and divergence between fictional and real contexts. In the fictional narrative, declaratives frequently reflect cognitive decline, power negotiation, and emotional tension, often producing ambiguity and disorientation. In contrast, LANTERA interactions emphasize clarity, politeness, and social harmony shaped by Sundanese cultural norms. Gender patterns appear in both settings: female caregivers tend to employ inclusive and mitigating declaratives expressing empathy, while male caregivers more frequently use assertive forms associated with authority and task orientation. The study highlights how linguistic choices mediate dignity, control, and relational balance in elderly care. The research recommends integrating culturally grounded communication training, empathy-oriented scripting, and monitoring of pragmatic quality to improve elderly services. By juxtaposing fiction and lived practice, the study underscores the value of literary representations as tools for reflecting on real-world caregiving discourse.

Abstract

This study examines how environmental responsibility is discursively constructed in Alissa Qotrunnada Wahid’s speech by situating it within broader debates on religion, language, and the global climate crisis. The research aims to identify the ideological orientation of the speech and to evaluate its ecological implications through critical discourse analysis. Employing Fairclough’s (2003) three-dimensional model, textual analysis, discursive practice, and social practice, this study is complemented by Halliday’s transitivity system as well as the ecolinguistics and ecosophy framework developed by Stibbe (2021). The findings reveal that, at the textual level, the speech is dominated by material, relational, and mental processes, which collectively construct environmental protection as concrete, urgent, and morally grounded collective action rather than a purely abstract or normative appeal. The inclusive pronoun “we” positions religious institutions and communities as active agents of change, while relational processes establish environmental protection as an essential ethical and spiritual value. At the level of discursive practice, the speech is produced and legitimized through the symbolic authority of major religious organizations, particularly Nahdlatul Ulama and the GUSDURian Network, and disseminated through both formal education and grassroots community-based initiatives, including interfaith and family-centered programs. In the dimension of social practice, the discourse reflects and responds to Indonesia’s ecological challenges and advances religious ideology that frames nature as a moral trust integral to religious teachings. From an ecolinguistic perspective, the analysis concludes that the speech predominantly constitutes a beneficial discourse. It affirms values of sustainability, rejects exploitative representations of nature, and actively promotes the transformation of awareness and collective social practice toward ecological responsibility.

Abstract

This paper investigated how episode titles in Breaking Bad (2008–2013) carried multiple interconnected meanings that influenced narrative interpretation. By applying a cognitive semantics framework, it explored how polysemous titles activated semantic networks and invited dynamic reinterpretation as the story unfolded. Using qualitative content analysis, four episodes—Pilot (S1E1), Cancer Man (S1E4), Crazy Handful of Nothin’ (S1E6), and I See You (S3E8)—were examined for literal and metaphorical layers of meaning. Findings revealed that titles functioned simultaneously as direct references (e.g., medical diagnosis, poker bluff, hospital surveillance) and as metaphorical devices (e.g., Walt as “pilot” of his destiny, cancer as moral decay, bluff as illusion of power, surveillance as vulnerability). Cognitive semantics explained how audiences process these layered meanings: viewers initially interpreted titles literally, but as narrative contexts evolved, they re-accessed metaphorical dimensions through semantic network activation. These layered meanings enriched character arcs, foreshadowed conflicts, and amplified thematic resonance, particularly in the exploration of morality, identity, and consequence. By highlighting polysemy as both a linguistic and cognitive-semantic device, this research contributed to television studies and linguistic analysis, offering new insights into how ambiguity in language deepened storytelling and sustained audience engagement across disciplines.

Abstract

This study examines the role of memory and forgetting in The Buried Giant through the lens of trauma theory, in which memory emerges as a delayed and disruptive return of unassimilated experience. While previous studies emphasize collective memory, limited attention has been given to how belated memory reshapes individual behavior. Drawing on Cathy Caruth's concept of belated experience, this study analyzes whether forgetting functions as a protection or repression and how remembering transforms emotional responses and relationships. Using qualitative textual analysis and close reading of key narrative events, the study focuses on the function of forgetting and whether remembering changes the behavior of Axl, Beatrice, Wistan, and Sir Gawain. The findings show that forgetting functions simultaneously as psychological protection and political repression: it preserves emotional stability at the personal level while suppressing unresolved historical violence at the collective level. However, the return of memory destabilizes both domains, reshaping identity, moral perception, and relational dynamics. This study demonstrates that remembering does not simply recover the past but reconfigures the present, exposing the ethical tension between peace sustained through forgetting and truth revealed through memory. These findings contribute to trauma and memory studies by highlighting the complex role of forgetting as both a stabilizing and destabilizing force in post- conflict narrative. By foregrounding the behavioural consequences of belated memory, this study highlights how Ishiguro’s narrative problematizes reconciliation built on enforced forgetting.
