Abstract

Critical thinking and problem-solving are key 21st-century competencies that determine students’ academic success and life readiness. Although numerous studies have been conducted, most have focused on dispositional aspects and learning strategies, whereas the dimensions of self-confidence and systematic thinking have remained relatively underexplored. This study addresses this gap by examining differences in critical thinking and problem-solving skills based on literacy, gender, socioeconomic status (SES), and maternal educational background. Using a cross-sectional survey design, data were collected from 1,797 junior secondary students in Makassar, Indonesia. Statistical analyses using t-tests and one-way ANOVA were employed to examine mean differences across groups. Results revealed that students with higher reading–writing literacy demonstrated greater self-confidence and more systematic thinking. Female students outperformed males in reflective aspects of critical thinking and problem-solving, whereas SES differences appeared only in the essential systematicity of thinking. No significant differences were found based on maternal education. These findings highlight literacy as the strongest differentiating factor in students’ critical thinking and problem-solving skills. In practice, the study underscores the importance of interdisciplinary, literacy-based instruction to strengthen students’ higher-order thinking skills. Future research should employ longitudinal and mixed-method approaches to explore the mediating role of the cultural environment in shaping young learners’ critical cognition in developing countries.

Abstract

This study investigates the role of participants in the Anrong Bunting Karaeng ritual speechwithin the Jeneponto community’s wedding processions in South Sulawesi, Indonesia. Using an ethnographic approach framed by Duranti’s anthropological linguistics, the research analyzes ritual texts and performances from five ceremonial stages: Akbakra (yellow powder), Appasili (bridal bath), Akkrontigi (girlfriend night), Appantama Baju (wearing the wedding dress), and Appabajikang (uniting). Findings indicate two leading participant roles: internal participants encoded in the ritual texts through pronouns (e.g., proclitics ku- ‘I’, enclitics -na ‘he/she’, -nu ‘you’), and external participants comprising families, relatives, and guests. Beyond the grammatical functions, these pronouns construct social roles, hierarchies, and symbolic authority, with Anrong Bunting Karaeng serving as both animator and mediator between human and spiritual realms. The study highlights that ritual speech encodes power relations and collective identity, positioning participants as actors and carriers of cultural values. However, the analysis remains primarily descriptive; further research should integrate multimodal data (gesture, intonation, performance) and explore generational changes in ritual interpretation. This research contributes to anthropolinguistics by showing how ritual discourse preserves cultural identity while adapting to modernity. It also emphasizes the importance of documenting and analyzing local rituals to sustain intangible cultural heritage in Indonesia and beyond.

Abstract

The impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on language learning has grown rapidly, with various AI-based tools emerging. However, comprehensive reviews of its role in College English education in China remain scarce. Following PRISMA guidelines, this study systematically reviewed peer-reviewed empirical articles published between August 2013 and August 2023 across nine databases, including CNKI. Of the 1,224 screened studies, 15 empirical works from China (two in Chinese) were included, and a comparative analysis was conducted on the types of AI applied and their relevance to College English teaching. The findings indicate a generally positive attitude toward AI integration in College English, with particular emphasis on AI assessment systems and visual technologies. However, the review also identifies a techno-instrumentalist bias, with AI primarily framed as a tool for performance enhancement, while its implications for learner agency and identity construction remain underexamined. This review summarizes the decade's research trends, revealing that studies predominantly used quantitative and experimental methods, while qualitative research and mixed-methods studies were relatively scarce. Notably, research between 2019 and 2023 surged around immersive and automated systems, raising questions about which types of AI attract academic and institutional focus. Future research should diversify methodologies and address sociocultural, ethical, and equity issues in AI use. Though generative AI is emerging, its accessibility and ease of use mark a shift from resource-intensive tools like VR. Yet, its growing adoption requires critical inquiry into whose knowledge it privileges and what ideologies it reinforces in English education.

Abstract

This research explores how Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in West Sumatra employ code-switching in their advertising discourse to construct linguistic identity, express cultural belonging, and project entrepreneurial modernity. Using Fairclough’s Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) as the analytical framework, this study examines linguistic features, forms of code-switching, and the underlying ideological meanings within promotional banners and billboards that combine English and Indonesian. The findings reveal that code-switching serves as more than a marketing strategy it functions as a socio-symbolic practice through which entrepreneurs negotiate between local authenticity and global aspirations. The frequent use of English, despite notable errors in diction, spelling, and syntax, underscores its symbolic power as a marker of prestige and progress in the post-pandemic economic landscape. However, these linguistic inaccuracies also indicate challenges in language proficiency and access to educational resources, exposing power asymmetries between local entrepreneurs and global linguistic norms. From a sociolinguistic standpoint, code-switching embodies both empowerment and vulnerability: it enables small businesses to gain visibility in global markets while simultaneously revealing structural inequalities in linguistic capital. The study concludes that language operates as a key site of negotiation where identity, economy, and ideology intersect. It recommends enhancing critical language awareness and multilingual marketing literacy in MSME training programs. Future research is encouraged to examine digital advertising discourses to understand how linguistic entrepreneurship evolves in online spaces. This study contributes to the growing body of literature on sociolinguistics, linguistic entrepreneurship, and the politics of language in Indonesia’s evolving marketplace.

Abstract

This study explores how Qur’anic prohibition discourse constructs divine-human identity through the lens of religio-pragmatics. While the Qur’an is often perceived as an authoritative and dogmatic text, this research argues that its prohibitive expressions also serve as instruments of moral education, relational harmony, and spiritual identity formation. The study uses a detailed examination of certain Qur’anic verses that include prohibitions, analyzing them through a politeness framework developed by Culpeper and Gillings, which has been adjusted. Findings reveal that Qur’anic prohibitions embody three interrelated modes of politeness that reflect the identity dynamics between the Divine and humanity. First, solidarity and politeness reinforce collective belonging by framing prohibitions as moral collaboration, “we” rather than “you,” fostering empathy and shared accountability. Second, tentative politeness manifests as instructive humility, softening imperatives through advisory tone, metaphor, and divine empathy, thereby shaping a compassionate religious self. Third, deferential politeness underscores the transcendent hierarchy between humans and God, in which linguistic restraint and acknowledgement of divine authority construct the believer’s humble identity before theCreator. These modes together form an Islamic model of divine politeness, in which prohibitions function not as coercive acts but as relational speech that guides, educates, and dignifies the interlocutor. Thus, Qur’anic language simultaneously performs theological instruction and identity negotiation, embedding moral values within pragmatic interaction. The study concludes that politeness in Qur’anic prohibitions is a face-saving system rooted in divine compassion, shaping both individual piety and communal harmony. It contributes to expanding pragmatic theory toward sacred discourse, illustrating how politeness becomes a theological act of identityconstruction within Islamic communication ethics.

Abstract

The Minangkabau people are known as a community whose social behavior is still governed by traditional values. These values have a significant impact on how people communicate with one another. Some of the most commonly used values are the use of proper language based on “kato nan ampek,” or four words. The value of “kato nan ampek” means that the Minangkabau people have a four-level system of communication. These traditional values are inseparable from the culture of the Minangkabau people. This way of communicating is applied to all aspects of life, including the medical environment. In this medical environment, language is used in the context of power and intensity of encounters, so that the communication that takes place will influence meaning, respect, and other values that may arise.  This study analyzes linguistic politeness strategies in the medical environment and relates them to Minangkabau cultural identity. Data analysis is explained in terms of Leech's (1983) Politeness Principle and integrated with the branch of intercultural pragmatics, which views politeness as a culturally specific practice rather than a general linguistic phenomenon. This study employs a qualitative research design combining naturalistic observation and thematic discourse analysis to examine interactions between health workers and patients in hospitals in Padang city. The results of the study show that communication among the Minangkabau people in the medical environment is characterized by a strong tendency toward indirect requests, softened commands, and inclusive pronouns, as well as the use of polite forms of address such as “Bapak and Ibu” (Sir and Ma'am). This tendency shows respect and social balance, which can reduce tension between health workers and patients who are consciously not in the same position. The principle of politeness in interactions between health workers and patients in the Minangkabau environment is not only a communicative approach but also one that emphasizes harmonious relationships, relational balance, and ethical considerations. Based on the approach outlined in this communication, the study proposes a new strategy for analyzing the so-called Contextual Medical Politeness Principle (CMPP). CMPP is a development of a previous theory that proves that politeness in medical interactions cannot be separated from the influence of culture and community identity. This principle of politeness is not only a strategy to reduce the risk of losing face, but can also be used as a moral and relational activity rooted in cultural knowledge. This study contributes to the science of linguistic politeness in relation to ethnolinguistics and the moral philosophy of the Minangkabau people. This study shows that the Minangkabau people's communication style is rooted in a regional context that conflicts with the dominant Western paradigm. This study presents a unique pragmatic model of Minangkabau politeness, demonstrating that it is not merely a regional or cultural phenomenon but a broader pragmatic model with implications for comparative research in linguistic politeness, health communication, and sociocultural linguistics in multilingual societies.

Abstract

This article is an introduction to examining how communication pragmatics operates as a strategic resource for negotiating identity and amplifying minority voices within global–local landscapes. Drawing on a systematic review of ten empirical studies published in Volume 11, Number 2 (2025)—Autumn Issue, the study synthesizes how pragmatic practices shape meaning, power relations, and cultural positioning across diverse sociocultural settings. Rather than treating pragmatics solely as a linguistic mechanism, this review conceptualizes it as a form of cultural action through which marginalized communities preserve local values while engaging with global discourses. The analysis reveals that pragmatic strategies, such as indirectness, politeness, code-switching, ritualized speech, and digital semiotics, play a crucial role in sustaining minority identities amid pressures of standardization and globalization. Across the reviewed studies, local actors employ language performatively to assert belonging, resist erasure, and adapt to transnational norms. Examples range from sacred and customary communication practices in Minangkabau society to classroom interactions, digital communication, and intercultural encounters where global languages intersect with local epistemologies. Findings further indicate that pragmatic negotiation enables minority voices to remain audible without overt confrontation, allowing speakers to balance cultural loyalty with communicative accessibility. In educational, religious, and digital domains, pragmatic choices function as identity markers that mediate authority, solidarity, and resistance. This review highlights a recurring pattern: global communication does not simply overwrite local identities but instead generates hybrid pragmatic forms that reflect both adaptation and resilience. The study enhances the field of communication and pragmatics by showing how everyday communicative choices enact global–local dynamics. It contends that comprehending minority identity formation necessitates an examination of pragmatic practices as culturally ingrained, ideologically significant, and socially impactful. Ultimately, the article positions communication pragmatics as a key analytical lens for examining identity negotiation and minority agency in an increasingly interconnected world.

Abstract

In classrooms characterized by cultural and social diversity, diagnostic assessment is essential for determining students' academic preparedness and influencing how learners' identities are acknowledged or overlooked in educational decision-making. This research investigates cognitive and non-cognitive diagnostic assessment as practices aimed at equity within fiction-based deep learning, rooted in culturally responsive teaching (CRT) at the elementary school level. Employing a sequential mixed-methods approach, the study included validation of the assessment tool by experts and teachers, followed by pilot testing with 25 fifth-grade students from diverse cultural backgrounds. The cognitive assessment focused on understanding fictional texts, while the non-cognitive assessment examined students' learning preferences to gain insights into differences in affective and engagement aspects. The findings indicate significant differences in students' cognitive profiles and non-cognitive inclinations, highlighting the dangers of standardized instruction that disregards cultural differences, experiences, and identities. By incorporating culturally relevant fictional texts, diagnostic tools can more accurately reflect students' meaning-making processes, especially for those whose cultural experiences are often underrepresented in standardized assessments. However, the results also highlight the limitations of the instruments in eliciting high-level, critical responses, suggesting a need for more open and reflective assessment formats. This study adds to the research on culturally responsive assessment by redefining diagnostic testing as a pedagogical tool for inclusion rather than mere categorization. It offers practical implications for creating fiction-based immersive learning experiences that affirm students' identities, support differentiated instruction, and reduce the marginalization of culturally minoritized students. Future research should build on this work by using longitudinal and participatory methods that emphasize students' voices and sociocultural context.

Abstract

Integrating cultural identity into Bahasa Indonesia for Penutur Asing (BIPA) pedagogy often prioritizes content enrichment over discursive and ideological engagement. This study addresses this limitation by investigating how cultural identity is constructed, depicted, and facilitated through Augmented Reality (AR) within learning materials derived from Cirebon's historical landscape for Thai learners. Employing Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) alongside design-based research, the study scrutinizes pedagogical designs, instructional texts, visual representations, and learner feedback to identify prevailing identity discourses embedded within the technology. Results indicate that Cirebon's cultural identity is predominantly portrayed through harmonious, heritage-focused narratives emphasizing tradition and historical continuity, whereas alternative or contested identities receive minimal representation. Consequently, AR functions not merely as a technological tool but also as a semiotic mechanism that validates specific cultural interpretations and pedagogical ideologies. The study argues that AR-enhanced BIPA materials function as ideological frameworks that significantly shape learners' perceptions of Indonesian cultural identity. This research advances BIPA instruction beyond technological augmentation, advocating for critical language education that acknowledges technology's role in perpetuating cultural ideologies. It highlights the need for educators to examine how digital media shapes learners' cultural understanding critically. Future research should conduct comparative discourse analyses across diverse cultural contexts and investigate learner resistance and reinterpretation of these narratives. By examining the intersection of technology, discourse, and identity, this study contributes to a nuanced understanding of digital pedagogy in language learning, ensuring that cultural representation remains critical rather than superficial.
