Abstract

This research aims to analyse the relationship between the space and the women characters behaviour, and how the characters interpret the spaces in Trees of Peace film. The spatial triad by Henri Lefebvre was employed to answer the research questions while using qualitative method to analyse the data that are collected from the film’s scenes and dialogues. The research found that a character’s behaviour in a small space can vary, and can be very distinct from one character and another. How the characters interpret the spaces can also varies, depending on the situations and experiences that each character had gone through, even when they are spending time in the same place. The dynamic of the character also caused the difference in interpreting the space. As a result, the relationship between the characters and the space are intertwined with how they interpret the space. The better relationship a character has with the space, the more positive their interpretation of the space will be. Keywords: Space, Spatial Triad, Trees of Peace Film, Women.

Abstract

This research investigates the effect of English teachers’ emotional intelligence (EI) on students’ English learning at MAN 1 Kota Gorontalo. Emotional intelligence, including the indicators such as self-awareness, self-regulation, motivation, empathy, and social skills, plays a crucial role in shaping classroom dynamics and fostering students’ motivation. The research aims to explore how English teachers’ EI influences students’ confidence, engagement, and enthusiasm in learning English. This research employed a qualitative case study design. The data were collected through semi-structured interviews and classroom observations involving two English teachers and ten students from grades 10 and 11 during the 2024/2025 academic year. Thematic analysis was used to identify key patterns emerging from participants’ experiences. Findings revealed that emotionally intelligent teachers significantly enhance students’ learning experiences through five major impacts: (1) enhancing self-confidence by appreciating efforts and normalizing mistakes; (2) creating supportive and enjoyable learning environments; (3) fostering intrinsic motivation through meaningful and engaging activities; (4) encouraging future aspirations such as studying abroad; and (5) providing emotional support and promoting peer collaboration. These practices contribute to a positive classroom climate where students feel valued, motivated, and resilient. The study concludes that teachers’ emotional intelligence is not only a personal quality but also a pedagogical competence essential for sustaining students’ motivation and well-being. It recommends integrating EI development into teacher training and professional programs to enhance both instructional effectiveness and emotional support in language education.

Abstract

The growing visibility of multiracial characters in contemporary popular media is frequently interpreted as evidence of progressive racial inclusion. Yet increased representation does not necessarily guarantee stable identity formation within narrative structures. This study examines how racial discrimination operates as a constitutive force shaping multiracial subjectivity in the Netflix series Ginny & Georgia (2021). It employs qualitative textual analysis of eight selected scenes from Season One—chosen for their narrative significance in depicting racialised interaction, identity negotiation, and emotional responses to racial ambiguity—to examine how institutional, interpersonal, and internalised forms of racism are narratively constructed. Integrating Jones's multilevel model of racism, Du Bois's concept of double consciousness, and Turner's theory of liminality, the findings indicate that institutional positioning, interpersonal microaggressions, and internalised ambiguity collectively generate what this article conceptualises as destabilised belonging—a condition in which multiracial identity remains persistently unsettled, marked by insecurity, embodied self-harm, and relational isolation. Rather than presenting multiracial identity as harmonious hybridity, the series constructs it as an ongoing negotiation marked by fragmentation and conditional inclusion. By foregrounding the cumulative effects of subtle discrimination, the narrative challenges celebratory discourses of diversity and exposes the persistence of racial hierarchy within ostensibly inclusive environments. This study contributes to cultural and media scholarship by shifting analytical attention from representation alone to the structural and psychological consequences of discrimination in popular media narratives. It argues that multiracial visibility in streaming culture may coexist with continued instability in belonging, revealing the limits of multicultural inclusion in contemporary racial frameworks.

Abstract

Gossip, in Briderton Season 1 series, is a deeply held cultural practice in society; every community engages in discovering and sharing specific information through gossip. It captures viewers’ interest, contributing to the show’s popularity. It is shown by the audience’s enthusiastic in Instagram posts through several comments. Cawelty’s formula becomes the theoretical focus of this study, which is then linked to Lacan’s concept of desire to demonstrate how the gossip formula functions as a cultural signifier and an expression of societal desire. The method applied is qualitative descriptive to elaborate the data. The data related with audiences are compiled from Instragram @bridgertonnetflix, included 10 post and 100 comments entangled to the posts. The results of this study indicate that gossip serves as a cultural formula deeply ingrained in the audience; the audience’s active anaclitic and active narcissistic desires are fulfilled by the romance and gossip elements present in the Bridgerton series.

Abstract

The fast incorporation of digital tools into language instruction has transformed speaking pedagogy in EFL classrooms. This systematic literature review maps recent trends, task types, educational levels, and publication pattern in technology-integrated Task-Based Language Teaching (TBLT) for speaking instruction in Indonesia. Guided by PRISMA procedures, empirical studies published between 2020–2025 and indexed in SINTA 1–4 were gathered from Open Knowledge Maps and manual journal database searches. A total of 593 records (39 from Open Knowledge Maps and 564 from 129 journals from SINTA database) were initially identified. Out of the initial pool, 16 studies met the inclusion criteria and were analyzed using qualitative thematic synthesis. The synthesis reveals a significant paradigm shift from traditional, spontaneous classroom interactions before 2020 toward technology-mediated, reflective, and product-oriented task designs post-2020. Among the identified tasks, digital video recording emerges as the most dominant type (6 studies), which foster authentic audience engagement and learner autonomy. Traditional tasks like role-play remain present (7 studies), while a notable gap is identified where 2 studies failed to explicitly define their task parameters. Geographically and institutionally, research heavily clusters around secondary and higher education levels, leaving a critical methodological deficit in primary education. These findings offer crucial pedagogical implications for Indonesian EFL practitioners. It is important to emphasize that technology is intended to facilitate meaningful communication instead of being used simply as a source of novelty. Furthermore, it highlights the need for balanced future research addressing younger learners and performance-based outcomes over mere perception data
