Abstract

The concept of biracial identity has gained attention in cultural studies, particularly in a globalized world where racial boundaries are increasingly fluid. However, there is limited research on its representation in music. While visual and narrative arts often dominate such studies, music’s lyrical storytelling remains underexplored. This study addresses the gap by analyzing biracial identity in Mariah Carey’s songs “Outside”, “Petals”, and “Close My Eyes”. Using Stuart Hall’s Representation Theory and Critical Race Theory (CRT), it examines how her lyrics explore societal alienation, identity conflict, and self-acceptance. The findings reveal Carey’s music as both personal narrative and cultural critique, challenging systemic racism and societal norms. Her work highlights identity’s fluidity and amplifies marginalized voices, illustrating music’s potential to address social issues. This research underscores the importance of inclusive representation in promoting diversity and contributing to discourses on race, identity, and belonging.

Abstract

This research examines the representation of trauma bonding in Hozier's song "Cherry Wine" using Ferdinand de Saussure's semiotic approach. Trauma bonding refers to the emotional attachment that develops between a victim and their abuser in an abusive relationship. The purpose of this study is to analyze how the lyrics of the song reflect the complexities of such relationships, focusing on the dynamic of love and violence that traps victims emotionally. A qualitative descriptive method was employed, with data collected through an in-depth analysis of the song lyrics. The lyrics serve as the signifier, while the emotional experiences depicted represent the signified. The research findings reveal that Hozier portrays the victim’s conflicting emotions—simultaneous love and pain—through contrasting imagery, such as warmth and coldness, highlighting the unpredictable nature of abuse. This study contributes to a broader understanding of how popular music can be used to raise awareness about social issues, particularly domestic violence. In conclusion, the analysis demonstrates that "Cherry Wine" effectively conveys the emotional complexities of trauma bonding, providing listeners with insight into the experiences of victims.

Abstract

The aim of this research was to identify what media students needed and how to develop it, as well as to determine whether the media was effective in overcoming student problems. This research utilized a research and development design. The population of the research comprised all first-grade students of SMAN 4 Lhokseumawe, which included two classes. In this research, two classes were chosen as samples using simple random sampling. The sample was divided into two groups. The experimental group X.1 consisted of 30 students who were taught using the direct instruction method, while the control group X.2 consisted of 30 students who were taught normally. The data collection techniques used were questionnaires and tests, which included pre-tests and post-tests. The researcher administered questionnaires before conducting the pre-test. Then, the researcher gave the pre-test before providing treatment and the post-test after the treatment. The data were analyzed using the t-test formula. The researcher found that the scores of the t-test were 1.77, 2.21, 1.69, and 2.1, while the score of the t-table at the significance level of 0.05 and df = 58 was 1.67. This indicated that the t-test was higher than the t-table. Thus, based on the criteria, the alternative hypothesis (Ha) of this research was accepted, and the null hypothesis (Ho) was rejected. This indicated that using the educational application was effective in enhancing the basic English skills of first-grade students at SMAN 4 Lhokseumawe.

Abstract

Code-switching, prevalent in multilingual contexts, exemplifies linguistic adaptability and social conformity. This study employed a qualitative research design utilizing content analysis methods, involving randomly selected participants and unstructured interviews to investigate Indonesian-English code-switching on social media platforms, particularly Facebook. The data underwent evaluation in three phases: reduction, display, and conclusion formulation. The results identified three main types of code-switching: intra-sentential (50%), inter-sentential (30%), and tag-switching (20%). Intra-sentential switching was the predominant form of code-switching, indicating a high degree of integration between the two languages in informal online conversation. Individuals swap codes for various reasons: to display their status or "cool" persona (60%), to showcase their educational background (24%), and to attract attention (16%). Code-switching functions both as communication and a marker of identity, with English often symbolizing prestige among youth. It supports adaptability, problem-solving, and inclusivity in education but, when excessive especially intra-sentential may reduce long-term proficiency. Overall, it reflects globalization’s influence on language and identity in multilingual cultures.

Abstract

This research studies Sinclair Ross's short story "The Lamp at Noon" (1939) through an ecofeminist and spatial theory framework, how the harsh prairie environment of the Great Depression intersects with patriarchal gender roles to subvert female agency. This research explores how Ross constructs the farmhouse as both material haven and psychological prison for protagonist Ellen, using spatial imagery and environmental symbolism to represent the dual pressures of environmental calamity and patriarchal imprisonment. Through close text analysis, the study demonstrates how the personified dust storm is both literal environmental calamity and metaphorical expression of Ellen's psychological suffering, serving as an externalized voice for her repressed emotions. This research uses the qualitative method utilizing the close reading with the theoretical framework ecofeminist, gender roles, and environmental determinism. The analysis shows how gendered divisions of labor under environmental catastrophe intensify Ellen's psychic trauma as her domestic labor becomes increasingly useless against the invading dust while her husband Paul maintains a narrative of heroic survival. Ross's narrative structure, with its alternating perspectives and rhythms of failed communication, highlights the utter isolation and psychological breakdown for women in crisis. This analysis is used to describe how nature writing reveals the uneven impact of ecological disasters on women and marginalized communities, offering knowledge relevant to current environmental and social justice movements.

Abstract

In today’s society, impoliteness in communication has become increasingly normalized, especially in media. This study analyzes the types, functions, and contextual factors of impoliteness strategies used by Wednesday Addams, the main character in the Netflix series Wednesday Season 1. Employing Culpeper’s (2011) impoliteness theory and a qualitative descriptive method, data were collected from selected dialogues that feature impolite language. The findings reveal that Wednesday uses all five impoliteness strategies such as bald on record, positive impoliteness, negative impoliteness, off-record, and withhold politeness with positive impoliteness being the most frequent. Positive impoliteness emerges as the most frequently used strategy, as Wednesday often targets other’s positive face to express her emotional detachment. These strategies serve primarily affective functions, expressing emotions such as irritation or detachment. The study also finds that Wednesday’s impoliteness is influenced by contextual factors, particularly social norms, power relations, and situational context.

Abstract

This study investigates the syntactic features of prompts formulated by English Education students at Syiah Kuala University when interacting with ChatGPT for academic purposes. Specifically, it examines sentence length, sentence form (imperative or interrogative), and grammatical accuracy in prompts related to the Morphology and Syntax course. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, data were collected from three students in semester six or above, each submitting five naturally composed prompts. The findings reveal a dominance of imperative sentences, with varying degrees of sentence length and grammatical correctness. While most prompts were structurally sound, occasional errors—particularly in complex constructions—highlighted syntactic challenges. The study provides insight into students’ linguistic competence in AI-assisted learning environments and emphasizes the need for further syntactic awareness in prompt engineering. These results contribute to growing discussions on digital literacy and the pedagogical implications of using generative AI in higher education.

Abstract

This research describes the syntactical comparison between Indonesian and English, both the similarities and differences, as well as the implications for language teaching and learning. This research uses contrastive analysis. The result analysis shows that the syntactic similarities between Indonesian and English cover various fundamental aspects of sentence structure and grammar, including word order, modifiers, auxiliary verbs, prepositional phrases, conjunctions, possession, relative clauses, and tense/aspect expression. However, syntactic differences exist, such as Indonesian's flexibility in word order, verb inflection, pronoun usage, lack of articles, different use of demonstratives, and distinct question formation methods. Understanding these differences is crucial for effective communication in both languages. For teachers, teaching English syntax involves steps like introducing word types, basic sentence structure, phrases/clauses, tenses, and connecting words, while considering both similarities and differences between the languages to facilitate learning. Understanding these similarities and differences between Indonesian and English is vital for teaching English to Indonesian students. First, highlighting shared concepts like subject-verb agreement and basic sentence structure establishes a comprehension foundation. Second, addressing differences prevents interference from the native language and promotes accurate English construction. Third, encouraging comparative analysis deepens understanding of both languages. Fourth, contextualized learning with relatable examples enhances comprehension. Fifth, explicit instruction on English syntax, especially differing aspects, is crucial. Sixth, error correction facilitates accurate English usage. Seventh, multisensory approaches reinforce understanding. Eighth, cultural sensitivity cultivates a respectful learning environment. These strategies empower instructors to effectively teach English syntax to Indonesian students. This research can add insights into the differences and similarities in the syntax of the two languages, as well as provide practical guidance for teachers in designing effective curricula and teaching strategies for English language learning for Indonesian-speaking students.
