Abstract

Learning figurative language remains a complex yet important aspect of English language education. It often challenges students due to its abstract nature and cultural depth. The purpose of this study is to investigate how Taylor Swift’s Willow and its music video can be integrated as multimodal materials for teaching figurative language through the six English language skills: listening, speaking, reading, writing, viewing, and representing. Using a qualitative method based on literature analysis, the study develops a structured lesson plan grounded in the Genre-Based Approach (GBA) and aligned with Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This study identifies that Willow contains rich figurative elements such as simile, metaphor, personification, hyperbole, and symbolism. These elements not only enhance linguistic understanding but also provide cultural and emotional depth. The music video further supports comprehension by giving symbolic visual cues, making abstract meanings more understandable for learners. The lesson plan outlines three meetings, each focusing on different skill pairs while embedding the five stages of GBA. The study highlights that incorporating Willow as a multimodal learning resource supports students’ critical and creative thinking, improves cultural understanding, and increases engagement. It is a relatable and effective method for teaching figurative language in modern English classrooms.Keywords: figurative language, multimodal learning, Taylor Swift, lesson plan, GBA

Abstract

In the last decade, the application of translanguaging in language teaching has attracted the attention of researchers and educational practitioners. Although many studies have explored the benefits of Translanguaging, a gap remains in the literature on how Translanguaging is effectively applied in the context of learning English as a foreign language (EFL) in Islamic higher Education. This study explores the practice of the translanguaging pedagogy approach in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classes at the English Education Department of IAIN Sultan Amai Gorontalo. This research employed a qualitative approach with a case study design, focusing on first-year students and English lecturers in the English Education Department at IAIN Sultan Amai Gorontalo. The participants included 25 students (six males and 19 females) and two English lecturers. The results revealed that translanguaging was frequently used by both lecturers and students across five observed sessions in various English courses, including Literal Inferential Reading, Speaking for Formal Interaction, and English Basic Grammar. A total of 300 translanguaging instances were recorded, with Insertion (24.67%), Intra-sentential (23%), and Inter-sentential (18.67%) being the most common types, followed by Entire (17.33%) and Congruent Lexicalization (16.33%). This helps improve their understanding of the material being taught and gives them greater confidence in learning the target language.Keywords: Translanguaging, Approach, EFL Classroom

Abstract

Academic burnout has become a growing concern in higher education, especially among students engaged in cognitively demanding tasks like thesis writing. This study examines the relationship between academic burnout and the quality of the “Background of the Study” section in undergraduate theses among English Education students at Universitas Islam Negeri Mataram. Using a quantitative correlational design, the research investigates whether burnout—measured in terms of exhaustion and disengagement—affects academic writing performance. A purposive sampling technique was used to select 31 final-year students who met specific inclusion criteria. The Oldenburg Burnout Inventory (OLBI) measured burnout levels, while a rubric-based assessment evaluated writing quality. Due to non-normal data distribution, Spearman’s Rank Correlation was used for analysis. Results revealed a statistically significant negative correlation between exhaustion and writing quality, indicating that higher levels of exhaustion are associated with poorer academic writing. However, disengagement showed no significant relationship with writing quality. These findings suggest that exhaustion plays a more critical role in diminishing students’ cognitive performance during thesis writing. The study contributes to the existing literature on academic burnout and provides practical insights for educators, academic advisors, and institutions. Understanding how exhaustion impairs writing can support the development of targeted interventions, particularly in stress management and academic writing support, within faith-based higher education settings.Keywords: academic burnout, exhaustion, disengagement, thesis writing, writing quality

Abstract

This research explores the needs, challenges, and effects of using both digital and non-digital dictionaries in English language learning. The research design employed a qualitative study with data analysis conducted using Lisabella (2013)’s model. The participants involved 15 students as informants from several different universities in North Sulawesi. These participants were the sample who registered in the English Education Department / Study Program and English Literature Program. The research instruments used were observation and semi-structured interviews to collect data on students’ perceptions related to the issue. Data analysis was carried out by identifying students’ responses. Findings reveal that while both formats support vocabulary development and language comprehension, digital dictionaries are preferred for their speed, convenience, and rich features such as audio pronunciation and contextual examples. However, challenges such as internet dependency, distracting advertisements, and potential overreliance were identified. These limitations underscore the need for improved digital tool design and greater student awareness. The study highlights the importance of fostering digital literacy and strategic dictionary use to enhance long-term vocabulary retention, communication skills, and overall language proficiency.Keywords: Digital Dictionaries, Non-Digital Dictionaries, English language learning

Abstract

This study investigates how Indonesian cultural identity has been constructed and negotiated through agreements with UNESCO and examines its influence on global awareness, cooperation, and collaboration. A descriptive-qualitative analysis was conducted on 414 pages of Indonesian–English contract texts available in UNESCO’s online repository, focusing on cultural-specific words and items classified according to Ahimsa-Putra and Rachman’s (2021) taxonomy and coded as either resistance or negotiation following Venuti and Eco. The analysis involved descriptive coding using definitions from the Kamus Besar Bahasa Indonesia and the Oxford English Dictionary, Source–Target Relations (STR) analysis to identify shifts, thematic categorization of translation strategies, and interpretive analysis based on Derrida’s concepts of meaning shifts and différance. A conceptual framework was developed to ensure semantic alignment and control for potential confounders during validation of meaning connotation, with authoritative dictionaries used to validate the lexicon and cross-literature checks conducted to compare our dataset with established literature anchors. The findings indicate that direct equivalence translation is infrequent, with contrastive searches for equivalents often resulting in faithful representation in terms of meaning, identity, and culture, and that generative description reveals nuanced relationships between translation choices and the representation of cultural identity.Keywords: Cultural identity, Cultural references, Negotiation, Translation, UNESCO Agreements

Abstract

This study investigates the use of discourse markers (DMs) in male and female students’ speech, focusing on their frequency, function, and gender-based variation. It explores how DMs support coherence and fluency in spoken discourse within an educational context. Through a sociolinguistic lens, the study identifies patterns of DM usage and potential linguistic differences between genders in spontaneous speech. A qualitative descriptive approach was employed to transcribe and analyse audio-recorded student conversations. Discourse analysis was used to classify the types and functions of DMs. Findings show that both male and female students used DMs to structure discourse, manage turn-taking, and signal speaker stance. However, female students tended to use a wider range of DMs, particularly those expressing agreement, politeness, and elaboration. In contrast, male students more frequently used DMs associated with hesitation and topic shifts. These results underscore the influence of sociolinguistic factors in DM selection and highlight how gender can shape spoken language patterns.Keywords:     sociolinguistic, discourse markers, spoken discourse, student speech
