Abstract

This study examines the roles of translanguaging practices in the linguistic landscape in a rural tourism area and their contribution to showcasing cultural identity from the perspective of activity theory. Translanguaging emerges as a significant tool in rural tourism, serving as a cultural hub where diverse linguistic and cultural expressions intersect to attract visitors with their unique nature, heritage, and traditions. Through an analysis of activity theory, this study explores the translanguaging practices of signage containing verbal and other multimodal semiotic resources at Alamendah in constructing and promoting tourism activities and its local cultural identity. The data were gathered from photographs of signage, observation, and interviews with the tourism manager, staff, and the local elder to see how translanguaging practices enable the community to showcase the local heritage and engage with local and global audiences. The findings revealed that translanguaging practices as the mediating tool seen from the 182 signage where 51 (29%) were written in monolingual, which is Indonesian that represents the official language, 71 % were written in bilingual or multilingual, combining Indonesian, English, Sundanese, and Sundanese old scripts. The use of Indonesian and Sundanese dominated the signage, indicating the strong local cultural representation and identity. The prevalent use of Sundanese exemplifies the heightened community awareness of the Sundanese heritage identity with the expectation that visitors would learn more about the language and culture through tourism activities. The community and other stakeholders` contribution to the public signage signifies distributive and creative power relations and division of labor.

Abstract

Lexical bundles, which are recurring sequences of multiple words, play a crucial role in both written and spoken discourse. Understanding the presence and patterns of these bundles in educational materials is essential for effective language instruction and material development.This research aims to identify the most commonly utilized functional classifications of 3-word lexical bundles in junior high school EFL textbooks. This study employed a descriptive quantitative research methodology with a corpus-based analysis approach. The study's main methodological framework is a corpus-based approach, which combines quantitative and qualitative components to offer a thorough examination of the data. The data of this research comprises a collection of Indonesian junior high school EFL textbooks officially approved by the Ministry of Education. Specifically, the study examined textbooks used in grades 7-9, published in 2022. AntConc 4.3.1 was used to analyze the corpus, and N-Gram Tool was used to generate the 3-word lexical bundles in this study. The study shows that the most commonly utilized functional classifications of 3-word lexical bundles in junior high school EFL textbooks is the referential expressions category; there are 914 bundles (44.76%). Furthermore, the implication of this research is that these bundles should be used by educators, especially those implementing the independent curriculum, to create instructional materials that enhance students' syntactic and pragmatic skills.

Abstract

This study explores power dynamics in online ESL conversation classes through the lens of the Initiation-Response-Feedback (IRF) pattern, a widely used discourse structure in classroom interactions. The research aims to examine how IRF shapes tutor-student interactions, influences student participation, and impacts learning performance. Utilizing a qualitative research approach, specifically Critical Classroom Discourse Analysis (CCDA), the study analyzes recorded ESL conversation sessions from online platforms to identify patterns of discourse control, student agency, and negotiation of power. The Findings reveal that while the IRF pattern facilitates structured learning, it also reinforces power asymmetry, with tutors predominantly controlling discourse flow and topic management. However, variations in feedback mechanisms, such as open-ended questioning and elaborative responses, create opportunities for more balanced interactions. The study highlights the need for ESL tutors to adopt more inclusive discourse strategies that encourage student-led discussions and minimize hierarchical barriers in online learning environments. The implications suggest that modifying the IRF structure to allow greater student participation fosters communicative competence and enhances learner confidence.

Abstract

Studies on implicature inference-making ability of tourism students are ‘deficient,’ meanwhile implicature inference-making ability is crucial for tourism students. The current study aimed at: a) comparing implicature inference-making ability of sentences and short conversations between the low proficiency and high proficiency Tourism college students and b) exploring the factors which affect the learners’ implicature inference making-abilities. This is a mixed-methods study. The participants involved 320 students. Data collected with test for inferential ability were analyzed with Two-way Anova and qualitative data through iterative analysis. It is concluded that implicature inference-making ability of single sentences and short conversations between the low proficiency and high proficiency of the tourism college students is significantly different. However, there is no interaction of types of discourse and proficiency levels on implicature inference-making ability. Since the degree of skills affects implicature inference-making ability, the improvement of the students’ pragmatic understanding in English for Tourism should synchronize the types of implicature inference-making ability to be applied and their levels of skills.

Abstract

Digital platforms, particularly video-sharing platforms such as YouTube, have played a pivotal role in influencing travel decisions. As one of the emerging technologies impacting tourist behavior, YouTube has become increasingly significant. The present study focuses on evaluating the South Garut destinations, namely Santolo and Sayang Heulang Beaches, by analyzing comments provided in travel vlogs on YouTube, utilizing the Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL) framework through the attitude subsystem of appraisal, specifically affect, judgment, and appreciation. Adopting a qualitative descriptive paradigm, this study aims to elucidate the language phenomena associated with the tourism sector. Six travel vlog videos featuring comments from local tourists were examined, yielding 51 evaluative clauses related to Santolo Beach and 41 clauses pertaining to Sayang Heulang Beach. The findings of this study revealed the presence of all three attitude subtypes of the appraisal system (affect, judgment, and appreciation) within the analyzed data. Among these, appreciation through valuation with positive polarity emerged as the most dominant attitude subsystem. Overall, the results indicate that local tourists expressed considerable appreciation for the natural beauty of both destinations. Nevertheless, negative evaluations were also evident, addressing concerns such as parking facilities, stray animals, garbage disposal, illegal levies, inflated food prices, ticket management, and road conditions. Despite these issues, the general sentiment among local tourists remained predominantly positive regarding both destinations.

Abstract

The disposition of students to engage in critical thinking is an essential requirement for developing critical thinking skills and significantly impacts their competency in critical thinking. However, the practice of critical thinking is hardly included into educational institutions. Consequently, this study is conducted to determine the portrait of critical thinking disposition among English education freshmen at a state university in Banten, Indonesia. The findings of this study will serve as the foundation for developing teaching syllabus in all subjects in English department. This study utilized descriptive qualitative method to analyze the characteristics of critical thinking disposition among first-year English education students. The study sample comprised of first-semester students who were currently enrolled in the English Education Department comprising 110 first-year students. The California Critical Thinking Disposition Inventory (CCTDI) assessment, developed by Facione in 2011, was employed to gather data regarding students’ disposition towards critical thinking. The research findings indicate that, on the whole, English education freshmen possess a favorable disposition towards critical thinking, as 48.18% of the students fall into the positive category of essential thinking ability, followed by 44.52% exhibiting a strong CTD. Meanwhile, 7.3% of the student respondents show an ambivalent CTD. Further, while the top three CTD indicators among the freshmen are truth-seeking, open-mindedness, and analyticity, the bottom three indicators of their critical thinking disposition comprise inquisitiveness, maturity of judgement, and self-confidence. The results suggest that the students are familiar enough in solving problems or seeking truth from diverse points of views, but lack of desire and bravery for learning to process own reasoning and making decisions. Integrating the latest findings into the structure and implementation of the English education syllabus has the potential to enhance students' disposition towards critical thinking, thereby impacting their long-term ability to think critically.

Abstract

This study presents a needs-based analysis and the development of an English language skills module specifically designed for front office employees at a local hotel in Batam, Indonesia. Using a Research and Development (R&D) approach and the ADDIE model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation), the module was developed based on Hutchinson & Waters' needs analysis framework. Data were collected through interviews with four front office employees, while two experts—a hotel manager and an ESP lecturer—validated the module. The analysis revealed that employees primarily struggled with listening comprehension, speaking fluency, and confidence when interacting with international guests. The findings imply that conducting a thorough needs analysis is crucial for developing effective English training materials in the hospitality industry. Without understanding the specific language challenges faced by front office employees, training programs risk being irrelevant or ineffective. This study highlights that a conducted needs analysis leads to more targeted, practical modules that directly address real workplace communication problems. It also underscores the importance of aligning training content with employee needs to improve service quality, enhance guest satisfaction, and strengthen the hotel’s role in supporting regional tourism growth.

Abstract

This study examines the role of English teachers in Professional Learning Communities (PLCs) as they develop their Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) within the context of cultural and religious norms in madrasahs in Semarang City, Indonesia. Using a qualitative ethnographic case study methodology, the data were collected through observations, questionnaires, and field notes to demonstrate teachers' behavioural, emotional, and cognitive engagement. The study consisted of 50 in-service English teachers from thirty Islamic junior high schools serving varying educational backgrounds and professional learning experiences. The findings suggest, using Fredricks et al.'s multidimensional framework on engagement, that the teachers were very engaged behaviourally when we measured their attendance, participation, and attempts to use technology in their classrooms. Emotionally, the teachers exhibited excitement, curiosity, key details, engagement, pride, and self-efficacy, which led them to feel connected to the PLC and motivated to experiment with different instructional practices. Cognitively, the teachers engaged in reflective practices, planning with goals, problem-solving, and pedagogically integrating technology with content. This study highlights that PLCs can be a formidable vehicle for collaborative professional growth, helping English teachers develop their technological teaching capacity and pedagogically innovate while maintaining their cultural and religious nuance. This study also highlights that TPACK reconstruction involves a process of continually engaging in multidimensional, ongoing interactions to be effectively reconstructed in a relevant context.

Abstract

This research aims to describe and map the phonological correspondence, including any differences, and to create an isogloss file. The conversation method was used for data collection. The technique involved pointing at objects, pictures, photos, and activities. Instruments were used to facilitate data gathering. Data was obtained through in-depth conversations with informants using the prepared instruments. The analysis method used is both descriptive and comparative, employing both quantitative and qualitative descriptive methods as well as the synchronic comparative method. The comparative method is used to compare phonological correspondence differences between observation points. The dialectometric formula was used to calculate the number of phonological differences. The isogloss file is created as the boundary of the Malay language phonological correspondence between observation points. The study results describe the correspondence of Malay language phonology in 13 observation points. Secondly, the phonological correspondence between observation points varies from 6.54% at observation points 1-2 to 14.33% at observation points 9-11. Furthermore, the mapping of the phonological variation and correspondence of the Malay language in West Kalimantan Province revealed the existence of three dialects: Sambas, Mempawah, and Sintang. Figure 2 displays the impact of correspondence and phonological variation on the location of each dialect. Additionally, the isogloss line that distinguishes the phonological correspondence of Malay language variations is represented in the form of isophonic files. This study is significant since it has identified three unique Malay dialects in West Kalimantan and revealed intriguing phonological correspondences among them. The Malay dialects of West Kalimantan exhibit systematic correspondences among the vowels [-e], [-?], [-a], and [-o]. The [o] sound closely resembles the [o] sound in the Malay language of Jambi Province. The Malay dialect of Jambi possesses a variant that concludes with the vowel [o]. This association in West Kalimantan is predominantly observed in the coastal areas of Sambas Regency. This finding suggests that the Malay dialects spoken in West Kalimantan and Jambi are interconnected. The [e] correspondence closely resembles the Malay dialect utilized in Jakarta, particularly in the regions of Sambas, Singkawang, and Bengkayang.
