Abstract

Student engagement is vital for effective English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learning, encompassing behavioral, emotional, and cognitive dimensions. However, many Indonesian classrooms remain teacher-centered, limiting meaningful participation. This study explores how Project-Based Learning (PjBL) fosters multidimensional engagement among eleventh-grade students at SMAN 1 Tengaran. Using a qualitative case study design, data were collected through classroom observations, interviews, and reflective documents. Thematic analysis revealed that PjBL enhances behavioral engagement through collaboration and persistence, emotional engagement through enjoyment and confidence, and cognitive engagement through curiosity and reflection. These dimensions interact dynamically, transforming students into active, motivated, and self-regulated learners. The study highlights the potential of PjBL to create an engaging, student-centered EFL environment that encourages learners to act, feel, and think as real language users.

Abstract

This article examines the social and economic development of Koya Village, Petasia District, North Morowali Regency, Central Sulawesi, during the period 2015–2023. The study employs a qualitative approach with historical methods, including field observations, in-depth interviews, and document analysis. Findings indicate that social development in Koya Village is characterized by adjustments to norms, morals, and traditions, the emergence of new communication patterns, and changes in intergenerational relationships. Economic transformation is marked by a shift from traditional agriculture and fisheries to industrial and service sectors, particularly after the establishment of the Gunbuster Nickel Industry (GNI) mining company. Furthermore, the development of mangrove ecotourism in Tomori Bay has provided new opportunities for local community empowerment. While these transformations have brought positive impacts such as improved welfare, they also created challenges including dependency on mining, social inequality, and the weakening of communal values such as mutual cooperation. Overall, the people of Koya demonstrate adaptive capacity by combining traditional values with modernity, although sustainable development strategies are still needed to balance social, cultural, economic, and environmental aspects.

Abstract

This study analyses how South Park represents American Exceptionalism and Cultural Imperialism in the episode Starvin’ Marvin in Space. The research focuses on how Western superiority and moral beliefs are expressed through religion, language, politic, and culture. Using John Winthrop’s City upon a Hill and Edward Said’s Orientalism as main theories, this study explains how America defines itself as a chosen and civilized nation, while Africa is shown as “the Other,” poor and uneducated. The qualitative descriptive method is used to analyse selected scenes through visuals, dialogues, and character actions. The findings reveal that Sister Hollis’s religious mission reflects moral superiority and missionary control, while scenes of African poverty reproduce Western stereotypes through satire. The episode also presents American authority through CIA’s domination, representing political power under moral disguise. This study concludes that the episode continues colonial ideas and exceptionalist values in modern media satire.

Abstract

Learning styles play an important role in shaping how students process and internalize language input. Information about students’ learning styles enables teachers to select appropriate approaches that address and accommodate their needs. This study investigates the preferred learning styles of junior high school students in English language learning and examines the implications for differentiated instructions. Using a quantitative descriptive design, data were collected from 45 eighth-grade students through a standardized learning style questionnaire adapted from Nisa’ul Kumalasari. The results reveal that seven categories of learning style are identified, namely visual learning, tactile learning, auditory learning, group learning, individual learning, reading learning, and kinesthetic learning. From the seven categories, auditory learning and tactile styles emerged as the two most dominants. These findings indicate that students learn more effectively through listening and collaborative interactions.  This highlights the need for teachers to implement multimodal instructional strategies that integrate auditory, visual, and kinesthetic elements to accommodate diverse student needs and enhance learning engagement.

Abstract

This research investigated the effects of Bluey cartoon integration on primary school students' oral communication and aural comprehension competencies, as well as their perceptions of Bluey cartoon based pedagogical approaches in English language instruction in SD IT Imam Syafei’ Pekanbaru. An experimental methodology was adopted for data collection purposes. The participant pool comprised 19 fourth-grade students allocated into control and experimental cohorts. The control cohort received conventional English instruction, whereas the experimental cohort engaged with comparable curricular content supplemented with cartoon-based activities targeting oral and aural skill development over a six-week intervention period. Pre-intervention and post-intervention assessments were administered to both cohorts to evaluate their speaking and listening proficiencies. Furthermore, a questionnaire was distributed to the experimental cohort to ascertain their perceptions regarding the pedagogical utilization of Bluey cartoons. Results indicated that students in the experimental cohort demonstrated statistically significant improvements in English speaking and listening competencies relative to their counterparts in the control cohort. Additionally, experimental cohort participants exhibited favorable attitudes toward cartoon integration in English language instruction. These findings hold pedagogical implications for English language educators in SD IT Imam Syafei ‘ Pekanbaru and comparable contexts where English functions as a foreign language, suggesting the incorporation of visual instructional materials to facilitate young learners' linguistic development.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze and evaluate entrepreneurial management—covering Planning, Organizing, Implementing, and Supervising (POAC)—in realizing entrepreneurship education at SMKN 1 Buduran Sidoarjo. The research problem focuses on how the school’s Teaching Factory, particularly the Titik Satu Kopi school café, manages its entrepreneurial program to develop students’ entrepreneurial character amid the challenges of the Industrial Revolution 5.0 and the high unemployment rate among vocational graduates. This study employs a qualitative descriptive approach using a case study design. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with the principal, vice principal for curriculum, café manager, and supervising teachers; direct observation of café operations and student practice activities; and document analysis related to school entrepreneurship programs. Data were analyzed using the Miles and Huberman model—data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate three main results: (1) entrepreneurial management at SMKN 1 Buduran is effectively implemented through structured POAC stages, supported by BLUD regulations that provide financial and managerial flexibility; (2) the Teaching Factory café strengthens students’ entrepreneurial character, particularly proactivity, innovation, responsibility, and risk-taking skills through real business practice; and (3) the café functions not only as a business unit but also as a practical learning laboratory that aligns school programs with industry standards. Theoretically, the study provides a model integrating managerial functions with practical entrepreneurship learning in vocational education. Practically, the findings offer recommendations for strengthening Teaching Factory management and serve as a reference for other vocational schools seeking to implement entrepreneurship-based learning.

Abstract

Developing Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) is crucial for pre-service English teachers, yet they often lack practical collaboration. This mixed-method study determines the implementation of Professional Learning Community (PLC) practices in fostering TPACK competency and identifies key challenges and best practices in their implementation. Data was collected using a Likert-Scale Questionnaire to measure perceptions of PLC and semi-structured interviews for in-depth experiences. The PLC model proved in building all TPACK components, evidenced by overwhelmingly positive perception scores: Technological Knowledge (TK) and Pedagogical Knowledge (PK) both averaged 94.28, and Content Knowledge (CK) averaged 90.49. This demonstrates increased confidence in integrating digital tools and successfully combining Technology, Pedagogy, and Content. The most successful practices identified were real-world application, structured group reflection, and professional guidance. However, the study identified the challenges, primarily related to time constraints for discussions and the need for improved post-session support. Furthermore, the PLC is a highly successful model for holistic TPACK development. By addressing the minor issues related to session timing and support, the already effective program can be further optimized for better success in transferring competencies to the classroom.

Abstract

Environmental degradation in Indonesia, driven by deforestation, land degradation, and uncontrolled exploitation of natural resources, requires an environmental law enforcement strategy that goes beyond national regulations and recognizes the essential role of indigenous local wisdom. This study aims to analyze the contribution of local wisdom to environmental preservation, identify challenges in the implementation of national law in indigenous territories, and formulate a synergy model between the two to strengthen environmental law enforcement. A qualitative approach with a case study method was employed, focusing on indigenous communities that actively practice traditional resource management. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observations, and document analysis of national regulations and customary laws. The findings reveal that local wisdom effectively maintains ecological balance through culturally rooted governance systems, yet its formal legal recognition remains limited, creating a gap between state policy and local practices. Strengthening the synergy between national law and local wisdom is essential to establish a more participatory, just, and sustainable environmental law enforcement system and to enhance the social legitimacy of environmental policies.

Abstract

Popular music stands as a cultural space where emotion, identity, and power intertwine. Within this realm, female voices often perform the delicate balance between desire and restraint. Yet, few studies have examined how mainstream pop songs articulate female desire beyond objectification, particularly in the work of Selena Gomez, whose music navigates intimacy and autonomy with subtle complexity. This study examines Selena Gomez’s “Can’t Keep My Hands to Myself” to explore how female agency emerges through the negotiation of longing and self-control. Employing a feminist literary lens and Freud’s psychoanalytic framework of the id, ego, and superego, the analysis reveals how sensual impulse and conscious regulation coexist in lyrical expression. In dialogue with Cann (2021) and Jansson (2021), the study interprets the song as a declaration of embodied autonomy, where sensuality becomes self-possession rather than submission. Through qualitative content analysis, the findings affirm that pop music offers a stage for reimagining female identity—where emotion, restraint, and power converge in a harmony of self-aware desire.

Abstract

This study explores how witnesses in Indonesian criminal courts exercise agency and resist coercive questioning through linguistic and prosodic strategies. It aims to challenge the dominant view of witnesses as passive participants by uncovering the discursive mechanisms through which they negotiate institutional power and redefine authority in talk. The research adopts a Critical Discourse Analysis framework, integrating Foucault’s notion of power/knowledge and Goffman’s concept of face-work to examine courtroom discourse as a site of interactional struggle. Data were drawn from 18 hours of cross-examination in three district courts and analyzed using AntConc and ELAN to combine corpus-assisted and prosodic perspectives. This mixed qualitative–quantitative approach enables systematic identification of resistance patterns across lexical, syntactic, and acoustic levels. The analysis reveals that witnesses resist coercive framing through assertive repair, strategic evasion, hedging, and tonal dissent. These strategies transform compliance into controlled agency, allowing witnesses to reshape meaning without overt confrontation. Resistance thus operates as a routine communicative practice that momentarily redistributes power within institutional discourse. The study contributes to Critical Discourse Analysis and forensic linguistics by integrating prosodic and corpus-based tools to investigate resistance as both linguistic and embodied. It advances understanding of agency as a relational, performative practice, and provides a framework for discourse-sensitive evaluation of witness testimony in judicial contexts.
