Abstract

This study investigates the pragmatic analysis of expressive utterances in celebrities’ apology posts on Instagram. It examines the types and functions of direct and indirect expressive speech acts and those in apologies. It applied qualitative descriptive research with data from celebrity Instagram posts that grew significant community attention within five years (2021-2025). The data analysis involved categorizing each apology utterance as either direct or indirect and subsequently identifying its pragmatic function within the specific context of the celebrity's post. The findings show that celebrities tend to use a combination of direct and indirect apology expressions. Direct apologies, such as “I apologize” and “I’m sorry,” indicate clear responsibility, while indirect expressions, such as “I feel greatly ashamed of myself” and “I deeply regret my behavior,” create sympathy and reduce negative impact. These findings hint at the nature of online communication on social media sites and the importance of apologetic strategies for keeping these relationships harmonious with the general public and enhancing a positive image for celebrities.

Abstract

This study examines how CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning) can scaffold Moroccan school students to enhance their scientific English and problem-solving skills. This is important as it integrates language learning with subject mastery, a concept increasingly valued in academia and critical thinking development. The study employed a one-group pre-test and post-test design, with 25 middle school students participating in a science-oriented CLIL intervention. The results of a paired t-test revealed a significant improvement in scientific English proficiency and problem-solving ability following completion of the course. Compared to pre-test scores, post-test scores had increased considerably, concluding that the CLIL technique helped students acquire desirable academic skills (M difference = -5.640, SD = 3.303, SE = 0.661, t (24) = -8.539, p = 0.000), with a 95% confidence interval of [-7.003, -4.277]. This finding directly contributes to the ongoing efforts in Morocco to transform language and content instruction. It demonstrates that CLIL can significantly enhance learning outcomes, offering a pathway to improving the quality of teaching and learning in Moroccan schools.

Abstract

In Indonesia’s increasingly globalized and multilingual corporate landscape, translanguaging—the fluid use of multiple languages in communication—has emerged as a prevalent and strategic practice. This paper explores Indonesian-English translanguaging in corporate settings as a sociolinguistic phenomenon, as it socially situated, interaction-based, identity-linked, power-sensitive, context-dependent, and meaning-oriented. Using a library-based interpretivist approach, the research illustrates how employees employ translanguaging to clarify complex ideas, embed cultural relevance, and facilitate real-time collaboration. However, persistent constraints remain, such as language hierarchies, unequal English proficiency, and institutional resistance. The findings advocate for a reframing of translanguaging—not as linguistic deviation, but as a valuable communicative resource that bridges cultural divides, boosts workplace productivity, and supports professional advancement.

Abstract

Speaking plays an important role in empowering students learning English as a foreign language to actively engage in various aspects of academic life, such as classroom discussions, presentations, and group projects. However, fluency in English speaking remains a significant challenge for many Indonesian students due to limited exposure to authentic English-speaking environments and insufficient practice opportunities. The aims of this study are to find out the environmental exposure in an Islamic boarding school. Besides, this study also explores the students’ perceptions across proficiency levels in increasing their English-speaking ability in that boarding school. Descriptive qualitative design was used in this study. Observation and interview as the instrument to gain the data were administered in one of Islamic boarding schools in Indonesia. The observation was done to investigate the extent of the English exposure while interview was delivered to 12 students across proficiency levels. The result showed that activities provided by the institution in fostering students’ confidence and fluency are muhadloroh, muhadatsah, and English Day. Those activities play a pivotal role, allowing them to practice speaking in both formal and informal settings. Additionally, peer interactions and consistent exposure to English in daily routines contribute to building communicative competence and reducing language anxiety as the students’ effort in increasing their English speaking ability.

Abstract

This study explores the role of friendship in shaping the psychological development of the main character in the Percy Jackson and the Olympians TV series through the lens of Lacan’s psychoanalytic theory. The research aims to examine how Percy’s relationships, particularly with the main character’s friends, contribute to identity formation and emotional growth. This study adopts a qualitative and thematic textual analysis approach, guided by Lacanian psychoanalytic theory. The data collection involved close reading and repeated viewing of key episodes. By applying Lacan’s key concepts, including the Mirror Stage, desire, lack (manque), and the triadic orders of the Imaginary, the Symbolic, and the Real, this study analyzes how the series portrays friendship as a vital medium through which the main character navigates his sense of self and subjectivity. The findings suggest that friendship functions not only as emotional support but also as a reflective structure that drives the main character’s evolving identity. The Symbolic becomes central when friendships provide moral language and social recognition, especially through Annabeth’s and Grover’s dialogue. Moreover, the study reveals that the series subverts conventional heroic narratives by emphasizing psychological depth and emotional dependency, positioning friendship as central to the hero’s journey. This analysis contributes to a deeper understanding of how contemporary screen adaptations can integrate psychoanalytic dimensions into character development.

Abstract

This qualitative case study investigates the professionalism expectations of undergraduate students in the English Language Education Department at Universitas PGRI Adi Buana Surabaya concerning their curriculum and study materials. Drawing on in-depth interviews with five graduates from batches 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2020, supplemented by curriculum documents and academic transcripts, the research identifies a significant gap between students' academic preparation and the demands of their diverse professional careers. Findings reveal that while the curriculum is generally acknowledged as a crucial roadmap for education, specific courses, most notably literature and English syntax, are widely perceived as lacking practical contribution to daily work in various fields, including teaching, tourism, transportation, administration, and hospitality. This disconnect is further exacerbated by a divergence between initial career aspirations and actual employment realities, often influenced by academic performance (GPA) and limited job market opportunities. The study highlights a clear undergraduate perspective advocating for a more practical and professionally relevant curriculum. Graduates expressed a strong desire for reduced theoretical content, increased hands-on application, and the integration of courses that directly address career readiness, job market dynamics, and professional ethics. The implications of this research underscore the critical need for the English Language Education Department to re-evaluate and adjust its curriculum to better align with the evolving needs of the workforce, thereby enhancing graduates' preparedness and competitiveness in their respective careers.

Abstract

Digitalization becomes a current issue in English language teaching. It gives influences to many aspects in instructional, including in assessment. Meanwhile, performance-based assessment (PBA) is considered as another issue in case of its subjectivity and complicated implementation. In EFL context, many studies noted positive perception on the use of digitalization for PBA delivered by English teachers. Yet, rare similar studies are conducted to preservice teachers. This study aims to explore preservice teachers’ perception and readiness on the use of digitalization for PBA. It is a quantitative study by employing descriptive quantitative research design. Eleven preservice teachers were purposively included as the subjects of the study. Data were collected by using a 5-likert-scale questionnaire with 21 questions. Then, it was analyzed by concerning on mean score and standard deviation. The findings show that preservice English teachers perceived digitalization on PBA very well and they were ready to apply digital PBA on their future real classes.

Abstract

Understanding how learners use reading strategies across culturally familiar and unfamiliar texts is vital for effective literacy instruction, yet gender-related patterns in this context remain underexplored. This study examined gender differences in reading strategy use among 200 senior secondary English as a Second Language (ESL) learners in Manzini, Eswatini. Using a within-subjects quasi-experimental design, participants (114 female, 86 male) read two narrative–descriptive passages differing in cultural familiarity in a counterbalanced order, two weeks apart, and completed the Survey of Reading Strategies (SORS). The passages were matched for length and readability, and the SORS demonstrated excellent internal consistency (αoverall = .94; subscales α = .92–.88). Data were analysed using descriptive statistics, paired-samples t-tests, Welch’s t-tests, Pearson correlations, and effect-size estimates (Cohen’s d). Results showed that girls reported significantly higher use of global and total strategies than boys (Global: t(≈198) = −2.56, p = .011, d = .31; Total: t(≈198) = −2.29, p = .023, d = .32), while no significant gender differences appeared for support or problem-solving strategies. Text familiarity did not significantly affect strategy use (paired tests p > .24), and inter-strategy correlations were minimal (average r ≈ −0.001 to −0.005), indicating largely independent deployment. The findings reveal subtle gendered tendencies and a limited effect of cultural familiarity, underscoring that learners’ strategy orchestration cannot be assumed. Implications call for culturally responsive and gender-sensitive literacy instruction that explicitly scaffolds metacognitive awareness and strategy integration in ESL classrooms.
