Abstract

This research analyzes signs in the Anti-Corruption (Commercial Video)-Final Year Project uploaded by Muiz Hr, with a duration of 2 minutes and 9 seconds and 14 thousand viewers. A qualitative method was used to explore the visual meanings in the video based on Charles Sanders Peirce's semiotic theory. Primary data was obtained through random sampling from YouTube, while secondary data was sourced from literature related to semiotics and anti-corruption campaigns. The analysis focused on identifying icons, indexes, and symbols in five selected key scenes. The results of the study show a total of 9 icons, 5 indexes, and 5 symbols that were analyzed based on Peirce’s object-function theory. The combination of these signs proved effective in conveying an anti-corruption message. Icons provide real-life visualizations such as everyday social interactions, indexes reveal causal relationships with corrupt actions, and symbols reinforce the moral message through text and objects. The overall interpretation indicates that the video successfully raises audience awareness about the dangers of corruption, emphasizing that corruption can occur anywhere and anytime, thus requiring vigilance and preventive actions from society.

Abstract

In the present era, minority/less dominant languages are spoken lesser and lesser due to language shift that is taking place. This situation is worrying because these languages are facing endangerment. Hence, it urges for a call to examine people’s perceptions of speaking them and efforts to maintain them. Using the Chinese community in Penang, Malaysia as a case study, this study investigates the stated issues. Data collection took place in 2016 with 22 young Malaysians aged 20-40 years old. A semi-structured interview was conducted with the participants and the transcripts were analysed using thematic analysis. The findings reveal that the participants are keen about the continuation of speaking Chinese community languages due to three main reasons: (i) Chinese community languages are a representation of history and family roots, (ii) speaking to them represents possessing multiple identities and (iii) they act as a living culture. They reported that many efforts were made to maintain the continuous usage of Chinese community languages. This study concludes that youth need to be engaged with those efforts to ensure that the Chinese community languages do not disappear in the future. This can be done by including the use of digital technology in those efforts.

Abstract

The number of generic microstructure studies within English research articles (RAs) has recently increased worldwide. However, studies on this area in the Indonesian context are still limited, specifically in the method section. To address this need, in this paper, the researcher focuses on analyzing the microstructure of 30 Indonesian History and Law Research Article Methods (IHLRAMs) because these two disciplines have never been investigated earlier in the Indonesian context. For the analysis, an English model found by Zhang and Wannaruk (2016) was employed for the initial analytical framework in both corpora. However, both data sets only partially employ this English model; thus, further analysis employed a top-down approach. The results showed that the corpora have their own microstructure models, called Indonesian history research article methods (IHRAMs) and Indonesian law research article methods (ILRAMs) models. These two findings models imply that the microstructure of the Indonesian history and law RAMs is different from an English model. Thus, these differences become a challenge for Indonesian authors and possibly also those whose English is their foreign language (EFL) when they want to publish articles in English journals. On the other hand, comprehending these differences may improve their awareness, as well as their opportunities for publishing RAs in English journals.

Abstract

The poetry of Derek Walcott is deeply rooted and attached to the landscapes of his land, and he infuses his poetry with memories from the Caribbean. He employs imagery in his poems that makes real and imaginary a sense of place, which is influenced by St. Lucia, where he grew up, and collective colonial history. This study examines the significance of imagined spaces and memory in Derek Walcott's poetry, exploring how the poet uses mental images and visions to create landscapes, settings, and atmospheres that delve into complex ideas, emotions, and thoughts. Imagination as well as memory plays a huge role in his poems, and it is infused throughout his works. This perfectly encapsulates the pieces of works of Walcott where poetry serves as a fusion of the real world with one’s visions. This study employs a variety of theoretical lenses, among them postcolonial theory, cultural studies, and ecocriticism, to explore the consequences of Walcott's poetry for our conception of identity, location, and remembrance. Walcott's poetry is a strong medium through which one can explore the intricacies of humanity, and this research proves the need for his work in not only literary studies but also cultural studies and others.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the struggles of women veterans in Kristin Hannah's novel The Women (2024) through the lens of Simone de Beauvoir's existentialist feminism. It focuses on the portrayal of women veterans, particularly Frankie (Frances McGrath) while analyzing the construction of gender roles and the dynamics between men and women within the society. Drawing from De Beauvoir’s seminal work The Second Sex, which critiques the historical marginalization of women as the “Other” in patriarchal societies. It analyzes how the novel critiques patriarchal structures while celebrating women's resilience and agency. A descriptive qualitative method emphasizing narrative analysis provides a comprehensive understanding of Frankie's emotional journey and the broader societal issues faced by women veterans. Frankie’s experiences during and after the Vietnam War highlight the marginalization and lack of recognition faced by women veterans. Her journey illustrates core existentialist feminist principles, including the rejection of patriarchal norms and the assertion of self-definition. The study underscores the novel's depiction of women’s solidarity and mutual support as tools for resisting oppression and reclaiming identity. By emphasizing the relevance of De Beauvoir’s philosophy, this research contributes to feminist literary studies, encouraging a reevaluation of patriarchal systems and greater recognition of women’s contributions.

Abstract

This study was conducted to identify the interplay between the formation of self-image and the perception of learners about their identity as Sri Lankan English speakers. Motivation in language learning has been associated with various factors (motives) that play a role in persuading the learners to learn a language. Recent research in motivation have picturised motivation as a crucial element in language learning which is affected by a host of other factors that are contextually unique. In Sri Lankan tertiary learning environment, the need for English language has been felt mostly in the higher education and employment of the graduates. Thus, I aimed at obtaining answer to the question whether and how the learning experiences learners gain in the university of Jaffna motivate them to accomplish their language goals. I wanted to examine the role of their perception of their identity English speakers since this realisation is significant in pushing a learner forward to achieve their language goals. I used mixed methods research and gathered data from forty participants using questionnaire and selected five among them for semi-structured interview. Results revealed that compared to their school learning experiences, university provided them with adequate opportunities to be in English speaking environment and factors like their self-confidence, social expectations, and socioeconomic background supported in this process. However, since most of these opportunities were provided outside their language classroom, they benefitted only a few learners. Therefore, it is recommended that language classrooms provide more such opportunities relevant to learners' proficiency.

Abstract

Cultural imbalance in English Language Teaching (ELT) textbooks remains a major concern in Indonesia’s EFL contexts. Many government-endorsed ELT textbooks often emphasize local culture while neglecting global perspectives, which can hinder the development of students' Intercultural Communicative Competence (ICC). To address this issue, this study examines the representation of multicultural values in Pathway to English for tenth-graders, a non-government-endorsed ELT textbook. Using Moran's (2001) five cultural dimensions and Fairclough’s (1995) Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) framework, the findings reveal that the textbook reflects three values: appreciating other people’s cultural products (AOPCP), respecting other people’s communities (ROPC), and appreciating other people’s practices (AOPP). However, the textbook lacks representations of cultural perspectives and figures. While it introduces international cultures, the content focuses heavily on cultural products, limiting opportunities to fully develop students' ICC. These results suggest that more balanced and comprehensive cultural content is essential in ELT textbooks to support the holistic development of students' ICC in a globalized world.
