Abstract

This study adopts an experiential analysis approach to examine how sexual harassment is represented in opinion columns published by The Jakarta Post. Utilizing Halliday’s Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL) as the theoretical framework, the research focuses on exploring how language is structured to convey experiential meaning, particularly through the transitivity system. As a form of qualitative and descriptive research, this study investigates online news texts with the aim of uncovering how linguistic choices reflect and construct social realities. The central analytical focus lies in identifying types of processes, participant roles, and circumstantial elements within the clauses of the texts. These components are crucial for understanding how actions, events, and relationships are framed in relation to gender and power dynamics. Through the analysis of 436 clauses, the findings indicate that material and relational processes are the most frequently used. Material processes reflect actions and events, while relational processes emphasize classification, attribution, and identification. Their prevalence suggests that opinion columnists highlight both the concrete experiences of harassment and the ways individuals and groups are labeled or characterized. This dominance illustrates how language is strategically employed to both narrate and evaluate incidents of sexual harassment. By analyzing these linguistic features, the study sheds light on how media discourse contributes to shaping public understanding and societal attitudes toward gender-related issues. Ultimately, the study provides valuable insight into how opinion columns, as influential media texts, can reinforce or challenge dominant ideologies, thus playing a critical role in public discourse surrounding sexual harassment.

Abstract

Integrating writing instruction with local cultural elements is essential for improving literacy outcomes that resonate with students' lived experiences and cultural identities. However, field observations reveal that such integration remains underutilized in many educational contexts, including at SD Negeri Dinoyo 2 Malang, East Java—a school situated in a region known for its ceramic industry. This classroom action research aimed to enhance students' writing skills using the culturally rooted strategy titled "Dinoyo Ceramics and I." Conducted over two cycles with 25 students from Class 5A, the study began by introducing students to Dinoyo ceramic products through physical artifacts and visual media showcasing their historical significance. Students were then encouraged to describe these items in terms of their appeal, function, and value as souvenirs or treasured objects. Based on this exposure, students generated writing ideas under the theme "Dinoyo Ceramics and I," which they first organized into outlines and then developed into full compositions. In the second cycle, imaginative elements were incorporated to enrich the outlines, and students were guided to present each idea in a well-structured paragraph. This approach enabled students to creatively weave personal experiences into compelling narratives that retained Dinoyo ceramics as a central motif. The strategy sparked greater engagement, as students connected deeply with a topic rooted in their cultural environment. The findings highlight the importance of recognizing students’ everyday experiences as meaningful content for writing. Thus, educators should consider incorporating local cultural themes into writing instruction to build more relevant, motivating, and expressive learning experiences.

Abstract

This research investigates how language use and gender segregation in the SMes of Pempek 26 Ilir Palembang contribute to the representation of gender identity. This phenomenon is significant, as workplaces in Indonesia, especially in Palembang, persistently display notable gender segregation. In the quest for gender parity, employees’ identities are continuously replicated, with language being a crucial role. This qualitative research utilizes documentation, observation, and interviews for data collection. Meanwhile, the Miles and Huberman approach, that entails data reduction, presentation, and conclusion drawing, is used for data analysis. Butler’s theory of gender performativity serves as the analytical lens, adopting a case study approach. The results show that most of employees and managers of SMEs in the Pempek 26 Ilir area aware the existing gender segregation. Stereotypes are the cause of this segregation. This division results from assumptions that say women belong in jobs requiring endurance and attention to detail, while males belong in jobs that are more physically demanding. The language used by employees is courteous but informal, and the subjects of conversation differ greatly. Male and female employees typically focus on work or interests, while female employees are more talkative about personal and family problems. Overall, these findings show that heteronormative gender performativity is reinforced in the work environment of Indonesian SMEs, especially in Pempek 26 Ilir Palembang, where males are seen as stronger and more reserved and women as weaker but more communicative.

Abstract

Differentiated instruction is a critical educational strategy for addressing the diverse needs of students in mixed-ability classrooms. However, its consistent application remains a challenge due to teachers' comprehension of differentiated instruction, which led to various challenges in DI-based practice. This paper aims to delve deep into English language teachers' practices of differentiated instruction in mixed-ability classrooms using qualitative research design to reveal instructional approaches and learning enhancements in promoting inclusivity and diversity with emphasis on in-depth interviews in gathering data to document four Nepali teachers’ narratives of their DI practices and the problems they face in implementing it in Rupandehi, Nepal public secondary school classrooms. The study reveals three themes, namely: the promotion of a student-centered approach, personalized learning, and classroom diversity and collaboration. It was found that differentiated instruction enhances students’ classroom engagement and fosters inclusion by promoting personalized instruction, collaboration, and diversity. Constraints in DI practice include large class sizes, and issues of teacher training and support, which suggest that teacher education programmes should highlight differentiated instruction as a key pedagogic component of the curriculum to better equip future teachers with strategies to achieve the needs and interests of students with mixed-abilities.

Abstract

Academic research writing (ARW) is a complex, epistemic, and disciplinary practice fundamental to postgraduate scholarship. Despite its centrality in higher education, novice researchers (NRs) often face persistent challenges, including limited epistemological awareness, difficulties with disciplinary conventions, and inadequate pedagogical support. This study addresses these gaps by proposing a conceptual framework that integrates Swale's Create a Research Space (CARS) model with context-specific guidance to enhance ARW instruction. A narrative review methodology was employed to synthesize research on four core domains: content, context, language and structure, and cognitive ability. These constituent characteristics were mapped against common difficulties experienced by NRs and aligned with pedagogical strategies for scaffolding academic writing. The findings underscore the need for inclusive and responsive writing instruction that supports epistemic development and academic identity formation. The framework offers practical implications for writing curriculum design, mentoring, and instructional interventions. It also lays the groundwork for future empirical research to test its efficacy across varied educational contexts.

Abstract

Majority of people, nowadays, are bi/multilingual due to mobility and globalisation. Consequently, this has brought about decolonisation of some colonial practices that were employed during the colonial period.  One of the colonial practices was the use of ‘one language at the time’ in classroom settings which was grounded on the colonial ‘monolingual-bias’ notion. In South Africa, teachers seem to employ this practice regardless of the bi/multilingual classroom contexts. For example, when it is time for English lesson, they only allow the use of English only and no other language to avoid ‘contamination’. The purpose of this study was to examine perceptions of teachers on the use of more than one language. It further explores the use of translanguaging as a pedagogy that could be used to do away with language boundaries that were created during the colonial era.  Participants were purposively sampled language teachers at bilingual primary schools in SOWETO, Johannesburg, South Africa.  The study adopted a qualitative research design from which semi-structured interviews and observations were used. Thematic analysis was employed to analyse data.  The findings demonstrate that teachers are reluctant to allow the use of more than one language at a time in their classrooms. Their reluctance is grounded on the belief of the monolingual bias theory to avoid language ‘contamination’.  This study recommends translanguaging as a practical approach for a decolonial move where bilingual learners will be allowed to use all their linguistic repertoires for better comprehension and meaning making.

Abstract

Amidst growing concerns over early literacy challenges in rural Indonesia, this study examines the impact of interactive multimedia on improving early reading skills among first-grade students at Banaran 2 Public Elementary School, in Temanggung Regency. The research adopts a Research and Development approach using the ADDIE model and employs a quasi-experimental time-series design. A purposive sampling method was used to select 21 first-grade students based on their early reading difficulties and access to computer facilities. Data collection methods included expert validation, questionnaires, interviews, observations, and reading tests. Findings indicate that the developed multimedia is highly suitable (91.67%) and practical (94.87%) for early reading instruction. Statistical analysis (p < 0.005) confirms its significant impact on students' reading abilities. These results suggest that interactive multimedia can serve as an effective tool for enhancing early literacy in elementary education, particularly in resource-limited settings. To maximize its potential, future research should explore its long-term effects and adaptation in diverse linguistic and educational contexts, providing valuable insights for curriculum development and technology integration in early childhood education.

Abstract

The aim of the current research was to explore how the lecturer uses neurolinguistic programming (NPL) to maximize the students' potential when creating thesis proposals. This study poses two research questions: 1) What challenges do students have when writing their thesis proposals? and 2) How may NLP communication help students write their thesis proposals. A case study design that was employed in this study. Open-ended questionnaire was distributed to the students of English education department. The results of this study firstly highlight that the students’ difficulties in writing involved their lack of knowledge, psychological aspect and both of them. ability in writing skills, understanding contents, motivation. Another finding showed that the NLP communication in the form of teachers’ affirmations can bring the positive influence on the student’s perspectives and attitudes to write their proposal.  This study concludes that teachers can establish a more encouraging and productive learning environment by using ideas from positive psychology and neuro-linguistic programming (NLP).

Abstract

This study investigates how English teachers integrate Generative AI ChatGPT, Diffit, and Brisk into their instructional practices, focusing on their strategies, challenges and pedagogical adaptations. These tools were selected based on their distinctive functionalities: ChatGPT for content generation, Diffit for text simplification, and Brisk for creating multimedia presentations and teaching aids. Using a qualitative multiple case study approach, data were collected from twelve primary and junior high school ELT teachers, setting through reflective journals, focus group discussions, and document analysis. The findings of this study showed that although GAI offered strengths such as fostering creativity, enhancing accessibility, and engaging students, the tools also have some limitations in terms of content inaccuracy, oversimplification, and lack of contextual adaptability. Therefore, teacher intervention is required in its implementation. In this study, teachers used reflection-in-action to make real-time adjustments, reflection-on-action to refine the integration strategies, and collaborative reflection to exchange best practices. Additionally, findings highlight teacher agency importance in leveraging AI for lesson planning and differentiated instruction. It further highlights the need for professional development in AI literacy to equip educators with skills to evaluate and adapt AI-generated content critically. This research contributes to the growing discourse on AI in Education, demonstrating how generative AI can function as a teaching aid rather than a replacement for pedagogical experts.

Abstract

One of the most difficult skills in English is writing, especially for university students who have to master academic writing because they have final project in writing undergraduate thesis. The students face many difficulties in writing undergraduate thesis because they need to learn how to communicate the argument rationally and provide evidence in intellectual perspective to present the arguments in a logical order. In order to solve their writing problems, students can apply writing strategies. Therefore, this study is about writing strategies used by EFL students in undergraduate thesis writing process at English Education study program. This study’s objectives are to find out the kinds of writing strategies, and the dominant writing strategy applied by EFL students in writing undergraduate thesis. This research employed descriptive qualitative procedure with case study design. The subjects of the study were eleven EFL students of 2019 class at UNIROW. The data were taken from the questionnaire and interview. Then, the data were analyzed qualitatively through data reduction by identifying, grouping and coding, data display, describing, interpreting, and conclusion drawing. The result showed that the students applied 8 strategies in before writing, 14 strategies in during writing, and 16 strategies in after writing. The dominant strategy applied was during writing with the average score of 3.68, which can be categorized as high frequency, followed by before writing (3.54), and after writing (3.23). In conclusion, writing strategies are essential in assisting students during writing undergraduate thesis to produce better academic writing.
