Abstract

Digital media have become an important part of students' learning environments, shaping how learners access information and interpret social realities (Hatlevik et al., 2021; Pangrazio & Sefton-Green, 2022) exposing them not only to educational content but also to ideologically loaded media such as advertisements. Among digital platforms, YouTube plays a significant role in shaping students’ perceptions through its pervasive advertising content. This study investigates how gender representation is constructed in YouTube advertisements and examines its implications for students’ critical literacy in educational contexts. Employing a qualitative descriptive research design, the study analyzes eight YouTube advertisements from diverse product categories using Fairclough’s (1995) Critical Discourse Analysis framework, focusing on textual, discursive, and social practice dimensions. The findings reveal recurring gendered patterns in which home cleaning and domestic products are predominantly associated with female characters, while luxury, automotive, and technology-related products are more frequently represented through male figures. These representations reinforce conventional gender ideologies that link femininity with caregiving, emotional labor, and appearance, and masculinity with agency, productivity, and public success. The study argues that critical literacy practices are essential for raising students’ awareness of gendered social values embedded in digital advertising, enabling them to question dominant representations and develop more inclusive and equitable perspectives on gender.

Abstract

This study examines the discrepancy between international and national educational frameworks, specifically the International Standard Classification of Education (ISCED) and the Indonesian Qualification Framework (IQF/KKNI) and their implementation in English for Specific Purposes (ESP) instruction within vocational hospitality education, particularly in restaurant contexts. Although both frameworks emphasize competency-based learning and authentic workplace preparation, classroom practices frequently remain dominated by traditional approaches, including the use of general English textbooks, written examinations, and limited opportunities for authentic communicative practice or technological integration. The lack of specialized ESP training among instructors, combined with institutional resource constraints, further exacerbates this mismatch. As a consequence, many graduates possess theoretical linguistic knowledge but lack the communicative competence required in the hospitality service industry. Addressing this issue requires comprehensive curriculum reform, continuous teacher professional development, simulation-based pedagogical approaches, integration of digital technologies, and stronger collaboration with industry stakeholders. These measures are essential to bridge the gap between educational policy and practical workplace demands in vocational English education.

Abstract

The research investigates cultural and linguistic challenges in translating Indonesian video report texts into English and examines the strategies employed to address these challenges. Adopting a qualitative descriptive design, the research draws on paired source texts and their English translations, which were analyzed using content analysis to identify recurrent cultural and linguistic issues as well as the translation strategies applied. The findings indicate that cultural challenges primarily involve the incomplete transfer of cultural references, values, and local practices, resulting in aspects of cultural identity and social meaning not being fully represented in the target texts. Linguistic issues include non-idiomatic sentence structures, inappropriate lexical selection, and grammatical inconsistencies. The analysis further reveals that translators predominantly rely on literal translation, limited cultural adaptation, and generalization strategies, which often overlook contextual and pragmatic nuances in the target language. These findings underscore the necessity of cultural competence, advanced linguistic proficiency, and more context-sensitive translation strategies to ensure accurate and effective communication for international audiences. This study is limited to texts produced by students, so the findings may not apply to professional translators. The study contributes both theoretically by extending the understanding of cultural and linguistic issues in multimedia translation and practically by providing insights for improving translation pedagogy and translator training in educational contexts.

Abstract

This study addresses the challenge of systematically processing the vast volume of qualitative online reviews, which significantly influence hotel reputations but are prone to researcher bias when analysed manually. The primary goal is to uncover the linguistic patterns of appraisal that shape international guest satisfaction within the Indonesian hospitality context, focusing on how guests evaluate both physical facilities and service performance. The research utilised a corpus-based approach, analysing a dataset of English-language reviews scraped from Booking.com. These data were processed using AntConc software, applying the Appraisal Framework—specifically the dimensions of Attitude, Graduation, and Engagement—to categorise and quantify evaluative tokens. Collocation analysis was further employed to identify the recurring themes and targets of both praise and complaints. The results demonstrate that guest satisfaction is primarily driven by Appreciation of the physical surroundings and Judgement of staff performance. Within the Appreciation dimension, "Overall Impression" and "Comfort" are the leading evaluative targets. In the Judgement dimension, guests are over eleven times more likely to praise staff for Courtesy, such as being "friendly" and "helpful," than for technical Professionalism. Furthermore, the analysis of Graduation reveals a heavy reliance on Force: Intensification to signal maximal commitment to praise. Regarding Engagement, guests frequently use Countering resources (e.g., "but") to present "balanced" reviews that build solidarity with potential readers. The study concludes that while Indonesian hotels excel in interpersonal warmth and emotional labour, managers must prioritise improving operational efficiency and technical professionalism to match global standards. These findings provide a systematic framework for understanding how service quality and physical amenities shape digital reputations in the competitive tourism industry.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze students’ English pronunciation errors in reading aloud at Universitas Hindu Indonesia. It focuses on identifying the types of errors and examining the factors contributing to them. This research employs a descriptive qualitative design involving 12 first-semester students selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through reading-aloud tasks, classroom observations, and semi-structured interviews. The reading performances were audio-recorded and analyzed using English phonology and Error Analysis frameworks, while the interview data were analyzed using thematic analysis. Data triangulation was applied to enhance the credibility of the findings. The results identified a total of 59 pronunciation errors, comprising 29 consonant errors (49.1%), 26 vowel errors (44.1%), and 4 stress errors (6.8%). Thematic analysis of the interview data revealed five factors contributing to pronunciation errors: first language interference, lack of pronunciation practice, limited exposure to English, low confidence, and poor phonological awareness. These factors were consistently supported by classroom observations and pronunciation recordings. These results suggest that pronunciation remains a significant challenge for EFL students. Therefore, greater emphasis on pronunciation practice and increased exposure to authentic English are recommended to improve students’ speaking proficiency.
