Abstract

Nickel mining in Raja Ampat, West Papua, has sparked intense debate among the government, corporations, indigenous communities, and environmental activists. This article analyzes the pro- and anti-mining discourse through the lens of Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL), focusing on three language metafunctions: ideational, interpersonal, and textual. Data was extracted from a YouTube video transcript by Kompas TV (June 9, 2025), featuring perspectives from a minister, a parliament member, an activist, and a musician. The findings reveal how social actors construct reality, power relations, and legitimacy through linguistic choices, including modality, transitivity, and lexical cohesion. These findings highlight power dynamics and unequal access in environmental decision-making

Abstract

This research examines how irony is conveyed through long shot cinematography in Jonathan Glazer’s The Zone of Interest (2023). Using Joseph M. Boggs and Dennis W. Petrie’s six types of irony such as dramatic, situational, character, setting, tone, and cosmic as the main framework, the research analyzes how these forms manifest visually through cinematic language. Set in the domestic sphere of Auschwitz commandant Rudolf Höss, the film employs visual distance and static framing to juxtapose everyday normalcy with atrocities occurring beyond the frame. Adopting a qualitative descriptive method, and drawing on theories from Mario Klarer and Gustavo Mercado, the analysis reveals that long shots function not only to emphasize physical and emotional detachment but also to heighten ironic contrast between visual calm and unseen violence. This creates a compelling visual irony that confronts viewers with the moral indifference and normalized evil within the setting. The research contributes to broader discussions on how irony in films can represent historical trauma through indirect yet deeply affective cinematic strategies.

Abstract

The era of globalization has had a significant impact on the social, cultural and psychological lives of students. Rapid technological and information developments require students to be adaptable, but also give rise to various psychosocial challenges such as stress, anxiety, identity crises and social pressure. This article aims to examine educational interpretation strategies as an alternative approach to addressing these challenges. Educational interpretation approaches offer a holistic perspective by integrating religious, moral and spiritual values into educational practices. Through a qualitative literature-based study, this article identifies that educational interpretation strategies can provide new meaning to the learning process, focusing not only on cognition but also on character development and emotional balance in students. The study's findings indicate that education based on the values of Quranic interpretation, for example, can foster psychological resilience, social empathy and self-awareness in students facing the complex currents of globalization. Thus, educational interpretation strategies are a relevant and applicable solution to address the psychosocial challenges of today's students.

This study is development research with a 4D model (Define, Design, Develop, Disseminate), but modified to 3D, only up to the development stage. The results of the study indicate that the developed device is valid and effective. The development achieved classical completeness with a score of 77 and an average of 96%. There is an influence of student activeness on learning completeness of 57.1%, and the influence of process skills of 70%. Simultaneously, activeness and process skills contribute 71% to learning completeness.

Abstract

This research aims to examine the effectiveness of Wordwall, a web-based game-based learning platform, in enhancing student engagement in English language learning for seventh-grade students at SMPN 2 Tidore Kepulauan. The study employed a Classroom Action Research (CAR) design consisting of two cycles, each comprising the stages of planning, implementation, observation, and reflection. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and questionnaires, and analyzed qualitatively and descriptively to assess students’ activeness, motivation, and participation. The findings indicate that prior to the intervention, classroom activities were predominantly teacher-centered, resulting in limited student involvement. Following the integration of Wordwall, student engagement improved significantly across all indicators. The percentage of students asking questions increased from 30% to 80%, answering questions from 20% to 90%, participating in discussions from 35% to 90%, and completing tasks from 50% to 100%. The overall average of student activeness rose from 30% in Cycle I to 90% in Cycle II. These results demonstrate that the use of Wordwall as an interactive instructional medium is effective in fostering student motivation, promoting active participation, and creating a more learner-centered and engaging English learning environment.

Abstract

Pronunciation is crucial while learning English, yet many students struggle to get it right. ELSA Speak and other language learning applications offer self-paced, artificial intelligence-powered pronunciation at one of the Islamic institutes in Jambi. A qualitative descriptive approach was utilized, interviewing five pupils. The findings show that users valued the app’s real-time feedback and phonetic comparison capabilities, which helped them, discover and correct pronunciation mistakes. While most students felt more secure speaking informally, confidence in formal circumstances remained low due to chronic worry. Despite technical limitations, such as problems detecting particular vowel sounds, users considered the app helpful in constantly practicing pronunciation. The study finds that ELSA Speak effective in boosting pronunciation, while other treatments may be needed to address speaking anxiety in formal situations.

Abstract

This study investigates the patterns and functions of code-switching in English learning at MTs Amin Darussalam, Deli Serdang, North Sumatra. Using a qualitative phenomenological approach, data were collected through classroom observations, audio recordings, and interviews with eighth-grade students during the 2025/2026 academic year. The analysis followed Miles and Huberman’s framework, focusing on data reduction, display, and conclusion drawing. Findings reveal three main types of code-switching: inter-sentential, intra-sentential, and tag switching, with inter-sentential switching being the most frequent. Teachers primarily used code-switching to explain lessons, clarify meanings, and manage classroom interaction, while students employed it to overcome vocabulary limitations and enhance self-expression. Tag-switching served to seek confirmation and maintain classroom rapport. Overall, code-switching was found to facilitate comprehension, build confidence, and create a supportive learning environment. The study concludes that code-switching is a natural and effective communicative strategy in bilingual classrooms.
