Abstract

This study investigates the implementation of the Kurikulum Merdeka to improve students' foreign language proficiency and examines the challenges faced by language teachers in its application within Acehnese schools. The selected schools represent diverse geographical contexts, including urban, suburban, and boarding schools, allowing for a comparative analysis of implementation strategies. In-depth, semi-structured interviews with ten foreign language teachers (English and Arabic), school principals, and staff provided qualitative data, supplemented by field notes, class discussion transcriptions, and textbook reviews. Findings show disparities in curriculum implementation by school type and location, with challenges including limited resources, insufficient training, and complexity, especially in under-resourced schools. However, the curriculum's student-centered, goal-oriented approach is seen as transformative for language classrooms. This study contributes to the literature on curriculum implementation and language education as well as providing insights for educational policymakers. It also provides practical recommendations for improving the integration of the Kurikulum Merdeka in Acehnese schools and ensuring its successful adoption in language education.

Abstract

This research addresses the challenge of zero equivalence in Tshivenḓa-English financial terminology by investigating the word-formation processes employed to develop financial terms from English into Tshivenḓa. Inaccurate or inconsistent financial terminology continues to hinder effective multilingual communication in South Africa’s financial sector. Although some research has examined terminology development in African languages, there remains a notable gap concerning the specific linguistic strategies used, especially in under-resourced languages such as Tshivenḓa. This qualitative research involved semi-structured interviews with ten Tshivenḓa language practitioners, all of whom are experienced terminographers. The data collected were analysed using thematic analysis to identify recurring patterns and insights related to word-formation practices. The results reveal that compounding and borrowing are the most  frequently used strategies when developing financial terms. However, differences in how these strategies are applied, particularly when compared with terminology development practices in other African languages highlight the need for a context-sensitive approach. The research emphasises the importance of aligning word-formation processes with the linguistic and cultural realities of Tshivenḓa speakers. Practical implications of this study include informing terminology development policies, guiding the training of language practitioners, and supporting the standardisation of financial terminology across sectors. At a broader level, the findings contribute to efforts in language planning and policy by offering a framework for more accurate and sustainable terminology development in African languages, ultimately enhancing financial literacy and inclusive communication.

Abstract

The Literacy Wheel stands out as a promising tool designed specifically to enhance English language skills. This media not only makes the learning process more engaging but also addresses key linguistic competencies. The Literacy Wheel significantly boosts students’ interest in learning English. Therefore, efforts are needed to assist students in learning English by creating an interactive learning medium called the Literacy Wheel (Rossi) to enhance students' learning motivation. The focus of this study is to analyze the validity and practicality of the developed learning media. The subjects of the study were third-grade students. The method used was Research and Development, employing the ADDIE model. The data used in the study included a preliminary study with interview techniques, validation by subject matter and media experts, and questionnaires to gather teacher and student responses to the learning media. The results showed that 98% of the Literacy Wheel media aligned with the material, and 95% of it was deemed valid for use in learning. The product received positive responses from students, with 79, 30% of them expressing enjoyment of the Literacy Wheel media. Based on these findings, the authors suggest that the content in the Literacy Wheel media be expanded to include more diverse subjects.

Abstract

This qualitative case study, conducted in West Manggarai, East Nusa Tenggara, employed the ADDIE development model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation) to address the persistent issue of cultural disconnect in Indonesia’s standardized reading literacy assessments. The study aimed to develop and evaluate a reading literacy Minimum Competency Assessment (MCA) book that integrates local wisdom and is supported by the Teachmint app as an interactive learning platform. The intervention contextualized assessment materials by incorporating local folklore, customs, and socio-cultural environments into the design of learning content. Validation by experts rated the book as highly feasible (91.2%), with strong positive responses from both teachers (88.5%) and students (85%). Implementation of Teachmint enhanced accessibility, motivation, and engagement through digital features like quizzes, automatic feedback, and interactive discussions. Quantitative findings revealed significant gains in students’ informational text comprehension (30.03%), literary text comprehension (11.92%), and critical analysis skills (35.09%). A comparative study also demonstrated that students assessed through Teachmint outperformed those using conventional platforms like Google Forms. This research highlights the effectiveness of integrating local cultural contexts and educational technology to enhance reading literacy and offers practical insights for developing culturally responsive assessments in Indonesia.

Abstract

Derivational morphology is crucial for understanding the organization of language and dynamics of vocabulary expansion. Despite extensive research in this area, a data-driven analysis of research trends and thematic development has been lacking. This study aims to address this gap by employing a scientometric approach to analyze publications on derivational morphology from 2014 to 2024. Utilizing the Scopus database, a corpus of 370 English-language publications was compiled and analyzed using VOSviewer software. The findings reveal a steady growth in yearly output, with an average of 34 publications per year. Network visualization of keyword co-occurrence identified five prominent thematic clusters: (1) core morphological concepts (22.78%), (2) morphology-semantics interface (20.14%), (3) morphology-syntax interface (19.44%), (4) psycholinguistic perspectives (18.06%), and (5) cognitive aspects of word recognition (14.58%). Collectively, these cluster illuminate the evolving landscape of derivational morphology research, highlighting key areas for future investigation, particularly at the interfaces with semantics, syntax, and cognition. The study’s findings therefore offer guidance for shaping future research trajectories and developing comprehensive morphology curricula that reflect the field’s nature.

Abstract

Each language community has a unique disagreement strategy in online communication that reflects its cultural values and communication norms. Disagreement can be expressed differently depending on the medium used. In face-to-face communication, disagreement tends to be expressed indirectly and with mitigation. In online communication, disagreement tends to be expressed explicitly and without mitigation. This study describes the strategies for expressing disagreement in the Info Cegatan Jogja Group and the factors that cause the emergence of various disagreement strategies in the group. The study used a descriptive qualitative method to analyze sentences expressing disagreement in posts from the ICJ Facebook Group.  The data sources were message walls and comment fields. The study identified four types of disagreement strategies: one-speech strategy, two-speech strategies, three-speech strategies, and four-speech strategies. Verbal communication is the primary strategy employed to express disagreement among ICJ members. The study found that most disagreements are classified as strong, based on the level of confrontation. Various disagreement strategies were identified, which can be attributed to factors such as social media dynamics, posting topics, gender dynamics, and cultural influences. Understanding strategies for managing disagreements and cultural norms surrounding it is essential for successful communication.
