Abstract

This paper investigates how English as a foreign language (EFL) learners construct their cultural identity and how globalisation influences this construction. It also explores studies on globalisation and English language learning in EFL contexts, focusing on students living in peripheral areas. 44 EFL learners aged between 18 and 25 years old were the participants in the study. The study utilized a mixed-method descriptive approach as the foundational framework for this research. The quantitative data consists of questionnaires and semi-structured interviews. They were collected using open-ended questions and then supplemented with semi-structured questions. The qualitative approach is further supported by previous research on cultural identity, such as cultural identity projection analysis and the influence of globalization on education. The study revealed that EFL English learners express their cultural identity through various aspects, such as their interactions with others, self-perception as students in a globalized world, and the impact of globalization on their identity. Students' cultural identity in peripheral areas is influenced by nationality, lifestyle, language, local community, education, cultural shock, mass media, and political beliefs. These elements influence the construction of an individual's cultural identity

Abstract

The case of Jessica Wongso and the cyanide coffee has become the subject of public debate again since the success of the documentary Ice Cold: Coffee, Murder, and Jessica Wongso by Rob Sixsmith went viral. One of the iconic scenes in the film is the title slate depicting a cup of coffee with blood, which plays a strategic role in framing the narrative and enhancing the film's appeal as a medium for shaping public opinion. This research explored the relationship between the images and text in the title of a documentary film about a criminal case and trial chronology. The research method was qualitative, aiming to understand and describe the complexity of the phenomenon in-depth. This research used Dormehl’s theory (2012) to analyze documentary film types, namely realism and reconstruction, as well as theory of the relationship between image and text to analyze elements in the title slate and text, namely little, close, and beyond in the film by Marsh & White (2003). Six elements were found in the title slate: ‘blood’, ‘glass’, ‘ice’, ‘coffee’, ‘coffee seeds’, and ‘sugar’. The research results indicate that the realism-close relationship was dominant in the data findings. This proved that documentary films can represent reality, and the elements in the title slate represent the overall content of the film. This study can serve as a reference for researching title slates, especially in the context of documentary films.

Abstract

This research aimed to determine the students' attitudes and ideology in writing reflections on microteaching courses at a university in Yogyakarta majoring in English language education. The students’ reflection writing was analyzed using Martin & White (2005) appraisal theory. Two written reflections of students who took the microteaching course were used as research data. The methodology used in this research was descriptive qualitative to investigate and understand character subjectively by evaluating how individuals or groups express attitudes, views or evaluation of existing situations. Student A data consisted of 199 attitudes in reflective writing and were dominated by positive evaluation. Based on each attitude system, it was dominated by positive satisfaction, positive capacity, and positive valuation. This study found that student A brought an optimistic ideology and self-efficacy to written reflections. Student B consists of 27 data and is dominated by negative evaluation. Each attitude system is dominated by negative security, negative capacity, and positive reaction. Based on student B study of ideology, the written reflection is progressive. This research contributed to the future teacher’s professional development, especially in seeing them through their language use in their reflection.

Abstract

Terminator 1 is a 1984 science fiction movie about a robot who is sent from the future to kill a person named Sarah Connor, because her son is destined to lead humanity in the war against robots. The movie shows the futuristic depiction of AI technology and their potential capabilities as weapons. The rapid development of AI had also raised some concerns at the time with people worrying about AI being more than capable of surpassing humanity. Although the concept of AI gaining sentience is merely fiction, the application of AI as weapons is something that has become more real with each passing day. This study explores the concept of AI in Terminator 1 using Poiesis or the creation of new ideas from old ones to see how the movie has inspired the evolution of AI in the modern world. Additionally, this study aims to describe the movie's portrayal of AI and compare it to modern AI technology in real life. Through this study we found that the nature of AI is depicted accurately within the movie’s time of release. However, the applications of AI technology were still fictitious.

Abstract

This study focuses on analyzing the eight selected poems in language discipline, particularly in the context of women’s objectification. The objective of this study is communication patterns of women's objectification from Sara Mills' Feminist Stylistics. This exploration applied a content analysis approach and Fredrickson and Roberts’ objectification theory. The major findings reveal that women are expected to be obedient and do household chores, are being reduced by their body parts for men’s sexual desires, and are used to objectify them. Further, women are treated based on their clothes, as what they wear highlights their sexuality and beauty, amplifying the notion of women being reduced to sexual objects rather than treating them as a person with identities. More distressing is the revelation of women being labeled with different names if they do not conform to society's expectations, which emphasized women as being passive and unwilling to receive the actions from men. Finally, this study is highly significant for language learners as it could help them to be more adept in analyzing literary texts while enhancing their critical thinking skills on language and gender representation, aligning with Sustainable Development Goal No. 5 on Gender Equality, mainstreaming eradication of any forms of discrimination

Abstract

This study investigates the different realizations of TH sounds in Brunei English among 31 local university students based on their pronunciations in a recorded reading task and five-minute interview. The study also attempts to compare the variations in TH sound realizations between female and male speakers to identify gender-based differences. The paper aims to discuss these variations by comparing its findings to previous studies of TH sounds in Brunei. The findings mainly support previous studies on TH sounds, particularly for initial voiced TH and medial and final TH sounds. However, the more remarkable occurrences of dental fricative [θ] in initial voiceless TH in tokens such as threaten and third contrasts with earlier reports stating more use of plosive [t] instead. Also, it is unclear from our data whether female speakers are leading in linguistic changes as there is insufficient data. Hopefully, this study will contribute to discussing sociolinguistic trends and the defining features of Brunei English to distinguish it from other varieties, such as Malaysian and Singapore English.

Abstract

In order to know the difference between the local and overseas media in delivering the news and elaborating on the “political dynasty” topic, the researcher conducted research on Najwa Sihab YouTube channel titled “Butet Kartaredjasa dan Petinggi PROJO Bicara Putusan MK” as the local media, and South China Morning Post titled “Nepotism May Win Indonesia’s 2024 Election”. There are two theories that were used to analyze the data, attitude aspects of appraisal theory (Martin & White, 2005), as well as the ideological square from (van Dijk, 2006). In addition, in the process of collecting the data for the analysis process, the researcher uses the qualitative descriptive approach (Miles & Huberman, 1994). The findings show that in local media there are two camps. Pro-Jokowi’s frequently used social esteem and de-emphasize negative things about us to deny negative accusation towards them. Contra-Jokowi’s mostly used social sanction and emphasize negative things about them to present the power abuse by the Jokowi’s party. In overseas media, there are only neutral party that frequently used social esteem and emphasizing negative things about them.

Abstract

With the growing global concern for animal welfare, social media platforms like Instagram are crucial in raising awareness and promoting advocacy. This research investigates the attitudes conveyed in animal welfare messages through the English caption texts on the @jakartaanimalaidnetwork Instagram account. The study aims to identify how the Appraisal System in Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL) expresses attitudes in these captions, focusing specifically on the categories of Affect, Judgment, and Appreciation. A qualitative descriptive research design was used, with data collected from English captions relevant to animal welfare. Content analysis was employed to categorize the captions based on their emotional (Affect), evaluative (Judgment), and appreciative (Appreciation) contents. The study utilized domain, taxonomy, componential, and cultural theme analysis to interpret the attitudes expressed in the captions. The results revealed that Affect was the most dominant category, with frequent expressions of emotions such as happiness, sadness, and empathy towards the animals. Judgmental expressions, particularly regarding moral evaluation, were also prevalent, reflecting the organization's ethical stance on animal treatment. Appreciation was expressed through a positive animal care assessment, emphasizing the value and quality of animal welfare. Overall, the study highlights the organization's commitment to advocating for the humane treatment of animals, using language that emphasizes compassion, ethical responsibility, and respect for animal rights. These findings demonstrate how the account conveys a clear and supportive message for animal welfare through its use of linguistic attitudes.
