Abstract

Tourism promotion increasingly relies on digital platforms where destinations are framed through carefully constructed narratives. Using a multi modal discourseanalytical approach, the present study seeks to examine textual and visual element from lonelyplanet website, particularly the destination of France to represent tourist destinations as idyllic “paradises.” The analysis reveals that destinations are frequently framed through metaphors of escape, authenticity, and exclusivity, highlighting natural beauty and cultural uniqueness while downplaying local challenges or complexities. Additionally, multimodal resources—such as imagery, layout, and interactive features—play a central role in reinforcing persuasive narratives that align with global tourism imaginaries. Findings suggest that online tourism discourse constructs not only desirable places but also particular identities for travelers, positioning them as explorers, culture seekers, or luxury consumers. This study contributes to tourism discourse research by demonstrating how digital travel platforms commodify places through strategic language and multimodality, shaping both destination branding and tourist perceptions.

Abstract

This study explores the effectiveness of Kahoot-based collaborative learning as an instructional strategy to enhance reading skills among English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners. The research was conducted at Senior High School in Medan with 22 tenth-grade students as participants. Utilizing a Classroom Action Research (CAR) approach, the study was implemented in two cycles, each comprising planning, action, observation, and reflection phases. The data were collected through a combination of quantitative (pre-test and post-test scores) and qualitative (student activity observations and documentation) methods. The pre-test results revealed that none of the students met the minimum passing grade (KKM) of 75, with an average score of 47. In Cycle I, only 31.81% of students surpassed the threshold, with the average score increasing to 70. However, in Cycle II, a notable improvement was observed as 72.72% of students scored above the KKM, raising the average to 80. Furthermore, qualitative findings indicated significant growth in student engagement, participation, and enthusiasm, with student activity levels rising from 55% in Cycle I to 87% in Cycle II. These results demonstrate that integrating the Kahoot application into collaborative learning environments can significantly improve both cognitive outcomes (reading comprehension) and affective factors (motivation and interaction) in EFL classrooms. Kahoot's interactive and gamified nature creates a learner-centered atmosphere that promotes active participation and facilitates deeper comprehension of reading materials. The study concludes that Kahoot is a valuable digital tool to transform traditional reading instruction into a dynamic, engaging, and collaborative experience, thereby contributing to improved literacy outcomes in EFL contexts.

Abstract

Ridley Scott’s critically acclaimed 1979 science fiction horror film Alien depicts the struggles of the crew of a spaceship named Nostromo against a murderous alien monster. The film has been interpreted through critical lenses such as feminism (Kuhn, 1990), psychoanalysis (Telotte, 2001), law (Crofts, 2021), and racism (Sobchak, 2001), but there is still room for other interpretations. This paper proposes a Marxist Cultural Studies reading of the film by conducting a close textual analysis of its narrative structure, character dialogue, production design, and cinematography to explore three core Marxist concepts: alienated labor, class conflict, and commodity fetishism. This is extended into an overview of the film’s contemporaneous socio-economic contexts of 1970s America (USA), such as power structure in the industrial economy, employment anxieties, corporate hegemony, in addition to the lasting effects of (Cold) War in the West. Findings show alienation of the Nostromo crew from: 1) their ‘product’ (the murderous alien lifeform they were directed to retrieve); 2) their productive activity (agreement to substandard terms driven only by wage compulsion); 3) their human potential (absence of purpose from labor); 4) other workers (distrust and expendability). The class conflict between the proletariat (the Nostromo crew) and the bourgeoisie (the faceless, inhumane corporation represented by the AI ‘Mother’ ship computer and by extension, the alien) structures the film’s narrative of exploitation and betrayal. And lastly, the alien monster can be interpreted as a fetishized commodity desired by the corporation for its potential value, completely outweighing the value of the crew’s lives. By paralleling these findings with the overview of 1970s America’s socio-economic issues in capitalism, such as distrust of authority and corporate hegemony, possible influences on the film’s themes can be seen. In conclusion, this Marxist critique reveals the film’s portrayal of expendable labor in ways that still resonate with modern audiences despite geopolitical space, facilitating a cross-cultural engagement on timeless and global social issues.

Abstract

This research explores and simulates the integration of differentiated instruction elements of content, process, product, and learning environment in English Language Teaching (ELT) to accommodate the diverse readiness levels, interests, and learning profiles of students. This study employs a descriptive qualitative method. The analysis shows that differentiated instruction in English Language Teaching (ELT) involves four key components: content, process, product, and learning environment. Differentiating content means adjusting what students learn based on their readiness, interests, and language levels while keeping learning objectives consistent. For example, students may study the same topic—like daily routines or food—but use materials of varying complexity, from simple visuals to analytical texts. Differentiating the process involves varying how students engage with content, using diverse strategies that suit visual, auditory, kinesthetic, or interpersonal learners. This might include activities like acting, using images, or role-playing. Differentiating the product means giving students choices in how they demonstrate their learning—through writing, drawing, presenting, or creating digital content—allowing them to use their strengths while meeting the same goals. Lastly, differentiating the learning environment focuses on modifying the physical, emotional, and social classroom setting to support all learners. This could involve flexible seating, sensory-friendly spaces, and inclusive practices that reduce anxiety and promote engagement. Overall, these components help ELT more inclusive, engaging, and responsive to the diverse needs of students.

Abstract

This research analyzes the representation of the heroine in the movie Wonder Woman (2017) directed by Patty Jenkins by applying Maureen Murdock’s theory of The Heroine’s Journey (1990). The study examines how the main character, Diana Prince, reflects the stages of the heroine’s journey and embodies female empowerment within a patriarchal society. The movie presents a woman who’s strong, courageous, compassionate, and morally conscious, offering a perspective on heroism that integrates feminine and masculine values. This research employs qualitative descriptive method. The primary data are taken from the dialogues and scenes of Wonder Woman (2017), while the secondary data come from books, journals, and previous studies related to feminism, gender representation, and literary theory. The analysis is conducted using the eight stages of Murdock’s model: separation from the feminine, identification with the masculine, road of trials, illusory boon of success, spiritual aridity, initiation and descent, reconnection with feminine, and integration of masculine and feminine. The findings show that Diana Prince undergoes all stages of the heroine’s journey. She begins by leaving Themyscira and her mother, symbolizing separation from the feminine world. She later adopts masculine traits through battle and leadership but realizes that physical strength alone cannot create peace. After experiencing loss and despair, she reconnects with feminine values such as empathy and love as her true sources of power. In the end, she integrates both aspects, achieving balance and completeness as a heroine. This research concludes that Wonder Woman (2017) effectively represents modern female heroism that challenges patriarchal norms.

Abstract

This study qualitatively explores the enduring influence of Dutch colonialism on language use and identity in Indonesia. It finds that Dutch colonial administration created a hierarchical linguistic landscape where Dutch symbolized power and elite status, while Malay later formalized as Bahasa Indonesia was the widespread lingua franca that united the archipelago’s diverse ethnic groups. Colonial use of Malay, influenced by Dutch linguistic frameworks, facilitated the later rise of Indonesian as a national language embodying unity and resistance. The research highlights social stratification in language access, with Dutch limited to elites, shaping nationalist leadership. Furthermore, Dutch lexical and phonetic traces persist in Indonesian, reflecting a hybrid linguistic heritage. Post-independence nationalist efforts promoted Bahasa Indonesia to consolidate identity and reject colonial cultural dominance. The study demonstrates language;s dual role as a colonial tool and emancipatory resources, revealing the complexinterplay of domination, adaptation, and resistance in Indonesia’s post-colonial identity formation.

Abstract

This study investigates the acoustic differences among British, American, and Australian English accents using Praat software. A descriptive quantitative method was employed, and the data were obtained from a publicly available online source providing spoken English samples of the three accents. Two English sentences were selected and analyzed to measure acoustic features, including duration, fundamental frequency, and intensity. The analysis was conducted by segmenting each sentence in Praat and recording the acoustic measurements. The results show that British English consistently has a longer duration and higher average intensity compared to American and Australian English, indicating clearer and more emphasized speech production. In contrast, Australian English exhibits the highest average fundamental frequency across all analyzed sentences, reflecting a higher pitch level. American English demonstrates moderate values in duration, frequency, and intensity. These findings confirm that British, American, and Australian English accents display distinct acoustic characteristics even when producing the same sentences, highlighting the usefulness of acoustic analysis in identifying accent differences.
