Abstract

The post-pandemic digital transformation has fundamentally reshaped secondary education, placing learning management systems (LMS) and mobile learning applications at the center of English language teaching (ELT). However, a significant disconnect persists between national digital policy mandates and classroom-level execution in vocational secondary schools. This study aims to analyze English language teachers' perceptions of the effectiveness of technology-enhanced learning (TEL), identify the operational challenges encountered during implementation, and examine the adaptive strategies deployed to overcome these barriers. Using a descriptive qualitative research design, the study examined three English language teachers (N = 3) at SMK Negeri 1 Makassar, who were selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using semi-structured interviews and systematic classroom observations and analyzed using the interactive model of data analysis proposed by Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña (2014). The findings reveal that teachers have favorable perceptions of TEL, highlighting its capacity to foster student engagement, enhance instructional efficiency, and create dynamic learning environments. However, implementation is often hindered by severe infrastructural limitations, unequal device access among students, digital skill disparities, and reluctance to embrace rapid technological changes. In conclusion, although TEL can improve English teaching practices, its long-term success in vocational high schools depends on improving institutional infrastructure and providing targeted professional development to support adapting teaching methods to specific contexts. This study contributes to vocational English language teaching (ELT) literature by offering an empirically grounded framework that illustrates how teacher pedagogical agency and adaptive strategies sustain digital learning in resource-constrained secondary school environments.

Abstract

Television discourse presents a rich yet underexplored site for examining how politeness strategies shift dynamically within asymmetrical relationships across extended narrative arcs. This study analyzes interactions between Dwight and Tyson in Tulsa King Season 1 using a qualitative descriptive design. Data were collected from 14 purposively sampled dialog excerpts and analyzed through qualitative content analysis based on Brown and Levinson's (1987) Politeness Theory and Holmes and Wilson's (2017) social dimensions framework. Findings reveal that all four politeness strategies are present: bald-on-record appears in five data points, negative politeness in four, off-record in three, and positive politeness in two. The status scale remains a structural constant, while social distance and the functional scale shift most visibly over time, driving a transition from unmitigated directness in early episodes toward more relationally attentive communication later in the season. The study concludes that politeness strategies function not as fixed communicative tools but as responsive instruments shaped by evolving social dimensions within a structurally unequal but relationally transformative relationship. This study contributes to sociopragmatics by offering a replicable framework for analyzing the dynamic co-evolution of politeness strategies and social dimensions in serialized television discourse.

Abstract

Patriarchal culture poses a challenge for women seeking access to education due to deeply ingrained values that assign distinct roles and statuses to each gender. This study examines the discrimination women face in accessing education within a patriarchal context, as manifested in systemic oppression, focusing on the novel The Girl with the Louding Voice by Abi Daré. The research aims to reveal how the literary work represents discrimination regarding women's access to education through these forms of oppression. Employing a descriptive-qualitative method with close reading techniques, the study utilizes the sociology of literature, specifically the concept of mimesis, and intersectional feminist literary criticism as articulated by Kimberlé Crenshaw as analytical frameworks. The findings indicate that women encounter discrimination in accessing education through layered oppression linked to their social identities; this involves the intersection of gender with poverty, youth, geographic isolation, race, and sexuality, thereby relegating education to a subordinate position for women. These layers of oppression reinforce one another and perpetuate gender discrimination, particularly regarding educational access. The representation of oppression in Daré’s work demonstrates its systemic nature, as it is rooted in deeply entrenched societal values; consequently, discrimination in education tends to be viewed as the norm or even as an inherent part of the culture itself. This study contributes to literary studies by applying intersectional, gender, and social justice.

Abstract

Author involvement and adaptational fidelity are interrelated concepts, though they are rooted in different fields: the study of writing and the study of media. In the practice of adaptation, the writing process is collaborative, so fidelity to the source text is often at stake. However, maintaining full fidelity is frequently hindered by the limitations of the medium and the demands of the audience. This gap highlights the need for a more in-depth study of how author involvement influences the degree of fidelity in an adaptation. This study aims to analyze the relationship between author involvement and adaptation fidelity, specifically in the novel “Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief” and its television series adaptation, as well as to assess the implications of these changes on audience reception. The research method employs a qualitative design with a narrative analysis approach. Data were collected from primary texts (the novel and the television series) as well as documentation from the television series. Analysis was conducted using thematic comparative techniques, assessing the alignment of adapted scenes with the source material. Fidelity was categorized into three levels: high, moderate, and low. The results show that despite direct control by the author, structural and narrative changes still predominate. The number of scenes with moderate (n = 82) and low (n = 64) fidelity was higher than that of scenes with high fidelity (n = 67). This research finds that the adaptation decisions regarding plot and character influence audience perceptions of fidelity and creativity in adaptations from literature to screen

Abstract

This study investigates the translation of metaphor, hyperbole, and irony in the Indonesian translation of the popular Webtoon Lookism, addressing the vulnerability of non-literal language in multimodal media where text and image are inseparable. Employing a qualitative descriptive method with a comparative analysis of 23 figurative instances from the first 20 episodes, data were categoried using Molina and Albir's (2002) translation taxonomy and interpreted through Audiovisual Translation principles and Barthes' (1977) concept of visual anchorage. The key finding is that strategy selection is systematically governed by figurative type and its multimodal interaction. Metaphors show a dichotomy: Literal Translation for universal concepts versus adaptive strategies for culture-specific ones. Notably, irony relies predominantly on Literal Translation (71% of cases)—a strategy enabled by visual context providing essential pragmatic cues. Hyperbole requires Modulation and Equivalence to recalibrate expressive intensity for the target culture. This study's specific novelty lies in three contributions: (1) it extends Molina and Albir's taxonomy by demonstrating that strategy viability is contingent on multimodal support—a dimension absent in text-only translation; (2) it empirically validates Barthes' visual anchorage in the underexplored context of digital comics, showing that static images actively constrain linguistic choices; and (3) it provides the first systematic mapping of how metaphor, hyperbole, and irony each predict distinct strategic patterns in Indonesian Webtoon translation. This study contributes to translation theory by reframing figurative language translation as a multimodal negotiation rather than a purely linguistic transfer, and offers practical, evidence-based guidance for localizers of graphic narratives on how visual elements systematically influence translation strategy selection.

Abstract

Audiovisual translation increasingly carries intercultural narratives across languages, yet how subtitlers balance comprehensibility against cultural authenticity when a single film moves through several source cultures at once remains underexamined, particularly in the Indonesian context. This gap matters because most existing Indonesian subtitling studies isolate a single culture or strategy, leaving unanswered how domestication and foreignization are negotiated jointly within one multicultural narrative. This study addresses that gap by examining how domestication and foreignization strategies are applied to culture-specific items (CSIs) drawn from Italy, India, and Bali in the Indonesian subtitles of Eat Pray Love (2010), and how the two strategies jointly shape cultural transfer for Indonesian viewers. The primary data source was the film's official Indonesian subtitles; fifteen CSIs were purposively selected as the unit of analysis based on cultural salience, absence of a direct Indonesian equivalent, and narrative importance. Each item was transcribed alongside its English source line and analyzed using a qualitative descriptive design guided by Pedersen's (2011) subtitling taxonomy, with classification cross-checked by two raters to strengthen credibility. Domestication was applied to 11 items (73%), mainly through adaptation (6 instances) and paraphrase (4 instances), supporting comprehension of unfamiliar rituals and concepts. Foreignization accounted for 4 items (27%), realized through retention, calque, and gloss, reserved chiefly for well-known foods, proper names, and religious references to preserve cultural authenticity. The study's novel contribution is showing that this choice is category-sensitive rather than uniform: greetings and rituals were consistently domesticated, while person and religious names were foreignized in every instance, a pattern not previously documented in a single multicultural film corpus. This indicates that subtitlers act as active cultural mediators whose strategic choices track the type of cultural item at stake, balancing accessibility with preservation of cultural identity.

Abstract

Postgraduate dissertations are expected to communicate complex arguments clearly; however, their assessment often prioritizes grammar and content over textual organization, cohesion, and readability. This study examined the linguistic quality of postgraduate dissertations at Makassar State University through the textual metafunction of Systemic Functional Linguistics. Using a descriptive qualitative design with a descriptive quantitative component, eight purposively selected dissertations were analyzed for grammatical cohesion, lexical cohesion, paragraph and section coherence, and Theme–Rheme organization. The dataset contained 393 coded observations, of which 392 had complete ratings. Overall, 292 observations (74.5%) were rated very good, 91 (23.2%) good, and nine (2.3%) developing; none received a poor rating. References and conjunctions occurred in 47 and 42 of 107 grammatical-cohesion observations, whereas repetition and synonymy occurred in 52 and 49 of 102 lexical-cohesion observations. Theme–Rheme organization received the highest mean rating (3.86), followed by paragraph and section coherence (3.80), grammatical cohesion (3.64), and lexical cohesion (3.62). The findings nevertheless identified ambiguous references, immediate repetition, limited substitution and ellipsis, and dense Rhemes that reduced readability. These results support explicit postgraduate writing instruction in referential clarity, lexical variation, thematic development, and the integration of cohesive resources across dissertation sections and provide an auditable basis for dissertation assessment.

Abstract

Language contact in multilingual urban societies often gives rise to code mixing, a phenomenon in which speakers combine elements from two or more languages within a single communicative event. This study investigates code mixing in the dialogue of the Indonesian film Tinggal Meninggal (2025) through a Sociolinguistics lens. The research aims to identify the types and functions of code mixing employed by the characters across various interaction contexts. A qualitative descriptive method is applied, with purposive sampling used to select sixteen dialogue excerpts as the data. The data are analyzed using Muysken's (2000) typology of code mixing and Hoffman's (1991) functional framework. The findings reveal that the code mixing in this film is exclusively Indonesian–English in nature and is classified into two types only: insertion, found in twelve data points, and alternation, found in four data points. Notably, congruent lexicalization does not appear in the data, as the structural divergence between Indonesian and English prevents the shared grammatical framing that this type requires. Insertion dominates the data, reflecting the tendency of urban Indonesian speakers to embed English lexical items into an Indonesian grammatical frame. Alternation, by contrast, surfaces in emotionally charged moments where speakers shift between structurally complete clauses from each language. The study concludes that code mixing in Tinggal Meninggal operates not merely as a linguistic habit but as a Sociolinguistics strategy that reflects the identity, social dynamics, and communicative needs of contemporary urban Indonesian speakers. This research contributes to the broader field of sociolinguistics by providing empirical evidence of how bilingualism is strategically utilized in modern Indonesian media, offering valuable insights into the evolving linguistic landscape and identity construction of contemporary urban societies.
