Abstract

Blending is widely recognized as a creative and productive word formation process in Indonesian, commonly found in media, branding, and everyday communication. Despite its popularity in informal contexts, the use of blended words in formal government documents has not been thoroughly examined. This study explores the use of blending in the 2023 Jakarta Smart City (JSC) Annual Report, aiming to identify the types of blends and analyze their structural and semantic characteristics. Using a qualitative document analysis method and drawing on Mattiello’s framework, the research classifies blend words into three main categories: morphotactic, morphonological, and morphosemantic. The findings indicate that morphotactic blending, particularly total blends, is the most frequently occurring type. Moreover, the study reveals innovative blending patterns in Indonesian formal discourse, including the merging of blending with acronyms, as in Satpol PP and JakISPU, the adaptation of blends influenced by pronunciation, exemplified by Tije (from Trans Jakarta), and the integration of cross-linguistic elements such as TopEdu and JakTrack. These findings suggest that blending has expanded beyond its informal origins and now plays a significant role in shaping the language used in official and institutional communication. In addition, these patterns demonstrate how linguistic innovation functions as a tool for branding, accessibility, and modernization in bureaucratic language. By illustrating how blending enhances the clarity and appeal of government discourse, this study contributes to understanding the role of of morphological creativity in shaping inclusive, citizen-oriented, and digitally adaptive public communication in Indonesia.

Abstract

Using Google Docs for collaborative writing has grown more important in many locations worldwide. Prior studies have demonstrated that classroom collaboration obstacles stem from team members having disparate proficiency levels with the required platform and challenges faced while implementing collective tasks. This study gathered data from the Scopus database to evaluate the scientific outcomes of articles about using Google Docs in collaborative writing. Scopus indexed a collection of data, A total of 173 selected publications have been collected during the inclusion phase, covering the last decade from 2012 to 2024. Starting at 10 publications in 2012, the number fluctuated slightly in the early years, reaching a low point of 5 in 2015. After 2016, the trend consistently increased, with notable growth after 2018. The publications rose sharply from 14 in 2019 to 25 in 2022, followed by a slight dip to 17 in 2023. In 2024, the number rebounded to 24 publications. Data sources in the form of conferences accounted for 29.49% and journal publications with a total of 70.51%. Overall, the data indicates growing research interest and academic engagement with Google Docs in collaborative writing over time, particularly in recent years. The quantitative study findings reveal a substantial rise in study results on using Google Docs in the United States over the last five years. A descriptive Scopus database and bibliometric review were conducted to find publishing patterns related to Google Docs in collaborative academic research. The entire average number of citations that have been published is calculated using Microsoft Excel technology. The trend of research collaboration utilizing Google Docs for collaborative writing is somewhat restricted, and the study subjects are significantly diverse. This study has several limitations, mainly that data were only selected and filtered from the Scopus database, making our analysis reliant purely on the reliability of the provided input source.

Abstract

Verbs are important component of syntax and play a crucial role on how learners express meaning, both orally and in writing. This study explores how Daouda’s song La femme de mon patron can be used as a practical tool for teaching French verbal structures to foreign language learners. The song was chosen because it contains a wide range of verbs, presented in clear and standard French, free from slang or dialectal forms that might confuse beginners. Through its simple yet culturally engaging lyrics, the song provides repeated exposure to verbs in declarative, conditional, and interrogative forms. The study demonstrates how teachers can use songs to enhance oral and written competence. Orally, students practice pronunciation, rhythm, and prosody in a natural context. In writing, the song enables activities such as verb identification, conjugation drills, and sentence transformation. The findings show that learners improved in verb identification with 80% accuracy and exhibited greater confidence in oral and written tasks. The study underscores the potential of integrating songs as structured grammar tools rather than supplementary activities. This study demonstrates that when carefully selected, songs can serve as instructional support for teaching verbs in foreign language classrooms compared to traditional grammar instruction. It concludes by proposing methodological guidelines for integrating songs into the teaching of verbal structures in French.

Abstract

The prolonged conflict between Palestine and Israel, particularly in the Gaza Strip, has caused widespread humanitarian suffering and has become a recurring theme in contemporary Arabic literature. One prominent example is Tamim Al-Barghouti's poem Nafsi al-Fida', written in response to Israel's military aggression against Gaza in 2008-2009 (Operation Cast Lead). This study aims to explore how the poem represents the social reality of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict through a sociological approach to literature. Employing a qualitative descriptive method, the research combines textual analysis of the poem with triangulated sources from international media reports and humanitarian organization documents to ensure data validity. Using Alan Swingewood’s theory of literary sociology, the study interprets the poem as a social product that both reflects and critiques the lived experiences of society under conflict. The analysis reveals that Al-Barghouti’s use of vivid imagery, metaphors of resistance, and contrasts between life and death encapsulates the political and humanitarian dimensions of Gaza’s suffering, depicting Hamas’ political victory, armed resistance, underground defense strategies, white phosphorus bombings, and the devastation of civilian life. These aesthetic choices transform the poem into both an artistic and sociological document, bridging emotion with historical testimony. The findings conclude that Nafsi al-Fida’ not only serves as a record of Palestinian suffering but also contributes to shaping Palestinian literary identity and political discourse by asserting poetry as a form of cultural resistance.

Abstract

This study aims to reveal the reflection of the patriarchal system and the social criticism of women’s oppression in three short stories by Tere Liye Kisah Sie Sie, Mimpi-Mimpi Sampek-Engtay, and Buat Apa Disesali. Using a feminist literary criticism approach, the study finds that patriarchy places women in a subordinate position through male dominance, social norms, and economic as well as cultural pressures. The female characters are portrayed as losing control over their own lives, becoming objects of social transactions, and being forced to submit to male authority. The findings indicate that patriarchy is not only physical and structural but also forms a symbolic power that instills obedience and dependency in women. Through his works, Tere Liye presents a sharp critique of gender inequality and calls for the importance of equality, legal protection, and social reform so that women can become subjects of their own lives. In this research, data were collected through a literature review method by closely examining the forms of patriarchy depicted in Tere Liye’s short story collection Sepotong Hati yang Baru. Overall, Tere Liye delivers a strong criticism of the patriarchal system, illustrating how women are often disadvantaged and denied the space to become active subjects in their own existence.

Abstract

This study explores the implementation of role-play activities in enhancing English speaking skills for engineering students, particularly in the context of career development. The research was conducted with 20 fifth-semester students enrolled in the Electrical Power System Engineering program at the State Polytechnic of Malang, who were enrolled in the English for Career Development (ECD) course. A descriptive qualitative design was employed, utilizing observation and questionnaires to assess the effectiveness of role-play in improving students' speaking abilities, focusing on areas such as vocabulary acquisition, confidence, and professional communication. The role-play activity centered around job interviews, where students took on the roles of both interviewer and interviewee, requiring them to engage with professional language and real-world scenarios. The results indicated that role-play significantly enhanced student participation, with the highest scores observed in the participation aspect. The students also showed notable improvements in vocabulary use, confirming the role-play's ability to activate and expand students' vocabulary in a professional context. However, the study also revealed challenges in grammar, particularly in tense usage, which impacted clarity and accuracy. The feedback provided to students helped address these issues. Additionally, the questionnaire results highlighted the positive impact of role-play on students' motivation, knowledge, skills, and attitudes, indicating that the technique fosters active engagement and enhances soft skills. The findings suggest that role-play is a valuable tool for improving English speaking skills among non-English major students, especially in technical fields, and can be effectively integrated into language curricula for career development.

Abstract

This study examines the representation of violence against women in Leen Liu’s novel Rumah untuk Alie, which reflects the persistence of patriarchal domination and gender inequality in Indonesian society. The research aims to describe the forms of violence physical, emotional, and sexual, experienced by the female character and to analyze how these acts of violence position women as “the Other” through Simone de Beauvoir’s existentialist feminist perspective. The study employs a descriptive qualitative method with textual analysis and data triangulation to ensure the validity of the findings. The results reveal that the female protagonist, Alie, experiences various forms of violence both in domestic and public spheres, such as physical abuse by her father, emotional neglect by her family, and sexual harassment in her social environment. These acts of violence symbolize systemic patriarchal control that confines women to a state of immanence, limiting their autonomy and subjectivity. Through Beauvoir’s theoretical lens, the novel exposes the philosophical significance of such oppression, how women’s bodies and existence are reduced by male dominance while still yearning for transcendence and self-liberation. This study contributes to a deeper understanding of women’s existential struggle and emphasizes the importance of gender awareness in literature as a means of promoting equality. Moreover, the findings hold broader societal implications by highlighting the structural nature of gender-based violence and underscoring the practical significance of these results in promoting gender equality and fostering social awareness to combat systemic oppression.

Abstract

Toponymy is a branch of linguistics that examines the interrelationship between language, culture, and environment through place naming. In coastal regions, place names often reflect geographical features, natural elements, and community perceptions of their surroundings. This study aims to uncover the referential meanings embedded in coastal toponyms by employing a referential semantics approach. The analysis interprets the relationship between the linguistic form of each toponym and its real-world referent, while classifying naming motivations using the Australian National Placenames Survey (ANPS) typology. The findings reveal that referential meanings predominantly represent denotative and ecological relations, indicating that coastal toponyms are grounded in physical and environmental features. This is evident from the dominance of the Descriptive category (50.0%), followed by the Associative (20.5%) and Evaluative (15.9%) categories. These categories reflect not only geographical and ecological characteristics but also cultural associations and value-laden expressions embedded in naming practices. Beyond its theoretical contribution, this study offers practical implications for cultural heritage preservation. The analysis of semantic motivations behind place naming can serve as a linguistic foundation for documenting traditional toponyms, supporting local government efforts to standardize and preserve place names, and strengthening intangible cultural heritage initiatives in coastal communities. The findings also highlight the need to safeguard environmentally based toponyms that encode ecological knowledge, particularly in areas undergoing environmental change and urban development.

Abstract

This study addresses this gap by developing and validating an AI and GAI literacy framework that aligns with the mission of Islamic higher education. Using a Research and Development (R&D) design guided by the ADDIE model, the study involved 25 fifth-semester students and 3 lecturers from the English Language Teaching Department at UIN Sunan Gunung Djati Bandung. Data were collected through questionnaires, semi-structured interviews, focus group discussions, classroom observations, and expert validation checklists. Quantitative analysis showed that students scored highest in ethical understanding (M = 4.0, SD = 0.55) but lowest in critical awareness (M = 2.8, SD = 0.70), while lecturers outperformed students across all dimensions, particularly in ethical understanding (M = 4.3, SD = 0.50) and pedagogical integration (M = 3.8, SD = 0.57). Qualitative findings revealed that students primarily used AI tools for basic academic tasks, whereas lecturers applied them in broader pedagogical contexts, with both groups emphasizing ethical responsibility. Expert validation confirmed the framework’s high validity (overall mean = 4.5/5), particularly in ethical-Islamic alignment. These findings suggest that AI and GAI literacy in Islamic higher education must extend beyond technical proficiency to include critical reflection and ethical integration, ensuring that the use of AI is both pedagogically meaningful and culturally contextualized. The resulting framework contributes to local practice while also enriching global discussions on culturally embedded approaches to AI literacy in higher education.

Abstract

Gamification has become a popular learning strategy that incorporates game elements such as points, levels, and badges into learning activities to enhance learners' participation and motivation. It has recently been extended beyond instruction to the field of assessment, where it transforms traditional testing into more interactive and engaging experiences. However, integrating gamification into assessment presents unique challenges that differ from its use in teaching. This narrative review aims to examine the challenges in integrating gamification elements into Assessment for Learning (AfL), Assessment of Learning (AoL), and Assessment as Learning (AaL), and to explore pedagogical strategies for addressing these challenges in EFL contexts. The study analyzed ten peer-reviewed journal articles published from 2014 to 2024 from ScienceDirect and Taylor & Francis, selected based on their relevance to gamification in language assessment. Each study was reviewed to identify recurring challenges and pedagogical strategies for language assessment practices. The results reveal that while gamification can foster learner engagement, challenges remain in aligning game elements with learning objectives, adapting materials to learners’ proficiency levels, and ensuring content validity. Reported pedagogical strategies for improvement include ensuring the contextual relevance of game elements and assessment purposes, aligning gamification with instructional goals, combining traditional and gamified components, providing transparent feedback systems, and integrating teacher guidance in reflective tasks. The study suggests that effective implementation of gamified assessment requires teachers’ strong language assessment literacy and continuous reflection. These insights offer practical implications for EFL educators in designing assessments that are not only engaging but also pedagogically sound and valid.
