Abstract

This study investigated English teachers' beliefs and practices related to literacy teaching in the context of Indonesian education. The primary aim was to understand how teachers' conceptions of literacy are reflected in their classroom teaching practices, as well as to identify factors that influence the alignment or misalignment between beliefs and implementation. This study employed a convergent parallel mixed methods design involving 52 respondents who were recruited simultaneously in August–September 2025 through a Google Form. Quantitative data were analysed using Spearman's rho correlation test, while qualitative data were analysed thematically. The correlation test results showed that the four dimensions (linguistic, cognitive, social, and development) of teacher literacy were positively and significantly interrelated, with the highest correlation between the cognitive and developmental dimensions (r = 0.706), indicating that strong conceptual understanding greatly contributes to classroom practice. Qualitatively, teachers have integrated reading, writing, and speaking, but face the main challenges of low student reading interest and limited basic vocabulary. It is concluded that teacher literacy was a complex construct, where teachers' beliefs are often hampered by contextual constraints in the field. The implications of this study emphasize the need for institutional support and professional training to increase student motivation and provide relevant learning resources.

Abstract

Email communication plays a central role in professional interaction within the tourism and hospitality industry, where transactional efficiency must be balanced with interpersonal rapport. This study examines the interaction between genre structures and politeness strategies in authentic tourism-related emails. Drawing on Swales’ (1990) Genre Analysis Framework and Brown and Levinson’s (1987) Politeness Theory, the study qualitatively analyzes eleven authentic emails exchanged between a Bali-based travel agency, hotel partners, and international clients. The analysis reveals a recurrent sequence of rhetorical moves, namely greeting, purpose statement, elaboration, request or confirmation, and closing, within which politeness strategies are systematically embedded. Positive politeness predominates through expressions of gratitude, inclusive pronouns, and affective tone, reflecting the service-oriented nature of hospitality communication. Negative politeness is employed to mitigate imposition in sensitive requests, while bald-on-record strategies occur in interactions characterized by established professional familiarity. These findings demonstrate that genre structures in tourism emails function not only as organizational frameworks but also as resources for relational work. The study contributes to English for Specific Purposes (ESP) by highlighting the pedagogical value of integrating genre-based instruction with pragmatic awareness to enhance learners’ intercultural and professional email communication competence in tourism and hospitality contexts.

Abstract

This study examines linguistic elements in Tengger folktales and their impact on the understanding of speech acts and the social functions of language. The analysis was conducted using both qualitative and quantitative approaches. Qualitative findings, based on linguistic analysis, indicate that the content of Tengger folktales holds strong potential as material for understanding speech acts and the social functions of language. These social functions are reflected in the narratives through messages conveyed in interactions among parents and children, among siblings, and between humans and their natural environment. From a pragmatic perspective, the understanding of speech acts can be developed through the design of teaching materials. Social functions of language can be naturally derived from the content and embedded social values of the folktales. Pragmatic aspects, particularly speech acts, need to be systematically developed within speech segments, which can be facilitated through instructional materials or learning media. This study employed both qualitative and quantitative instruments, with data categorisation based on contextual criteria. The results of the t-test indicate that appreciative listening to Tengger folktales has a significant effect on students’ understanding of speech acts and the social functions of language. These findings suggest that folklore-based appreciative listening is an effective approach for developing the social functions of language

Abstract

The rapid expansion of digital marketplaces has transformed the distribution and marketing of traditional products, including Madurese herbal medicine (jamu Madura), which is an important element of traditional healing practices in the Madurese community. Despite the increasing presence of Madurese herbal products on e-commerce platforms such as Shopee, limited scholarly attention has been paid to how language is used on product labels to represent cultural identity and local knowledge systems in a digital marketplace environment. This study examines the linguistic elements found on Madurese herbal product labels marketed through the Shopee marketplace and interprets their cultural meanings from an ethnolinguistic perspective. This research employs a qualitative approach based on digital observations of Madurese herbal product labels displayed on Shopee. The data consist of textual elements found on product labels and descriptions, which were analysed through the stages of linguistic identification, categorisation, and cultural interpretation. The findings reveal that linguistic elements on Madurese herbal product labels can be categorised into four major groups: traditional health terminology, geographical identity markers, symbols of tradition, and cultural metaphors. These linguistic forms represent local knowledge associated with traditional healing practices while simultaneously functioning as marketing communication strategies in the digital marketplace. The study demonstrates that product labels in the Shopee marketplace can be understood as cultural texts that mediate the relationship between language, local cultural identity, and contemporary digital economic practices.

Abstract

This research is motivated by the low attention paid to the development of emotional literacy in elementary school students in learning, which has so far been dominated by cognitive aspects. In fact, the ability to recognize, understand, and manage emotions is an important part of 21st-century competencies. The use of folklore as a learning medium rich in moral and emotional values has not been optimally developed in the form of interactive digital media integrated with an emotional self-regulation approach. This indicates a gap between the potential of learning resources based on local wisdom and the needs of modern learning. This study aims to develop a folklore-based flipbook media with an Emotional Self-Regulation approach and to test its feasibility and effectiveness in students' emotional literacy. The study used the Research and Development method with the ADDIE model which includes the stages of analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. The research subjects were fourth-grade students of Trikarsa Elementary School, Bandung. Data collection techniques were carried out through expert validation, observation, interviews, questionnaires, and pretests and posttests. The results showed that the developed flipbook media received a very feasible category based on the assessment of media experts (97.08%) and material experts (82.3%), and was feasible according to literary experts (64.3%). The implementation results showed an increase in students' emotional literacy from 82.2% in the pretest to 90.7% in the posttest, a 9% increase. These findings confirm that folktale-based flipbooks with an Emotional Self-Regulation approach are effective in improving students' emotional literacy. The novelty of this research lies in the integration of digital interactive media, local wisdom, and an Emotional Self-Regulation approach in a single learning design. The implications of this research indicate that innovative media based on local culture can be an alternative strategy in supporting holistic learning in elementary schools.

Abstract

The limited availability of teaching materials that integrate systematic techniques for idea and plot development remains a major obstacle for students in achieving the competency standards of the Creative Writing course. This research aims to develop short story writing materials by integrating the Strategy-Based Instruction (SBI) framework. The method employed is Research and Development (R&D) utilizing the ADDIE model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation). The teaching materials were constructed by synergizing cognitive and metacognitive strategy stages, including strategy identification, modeling, guided practice, and independent writing. Research subjects involved expert validators, a course lecturer, and 28 Indonesian Language Education students at Tanjungpura University. Validation results from material, language, and design experts showed very high average scores (3.88–4.00). Practicality tests on both limited and field scales categorized the materials as highly practical (3.46–3.72). Furthermore, pretest and posttest results (sig. 0.001) significantly proved that these materials are effective in improving students' ability to construct the intrinsic elements of short stories structurally. These findings contribute to a more systematic creative writing instructional model through the reinforcement of procedural strategies for novice writers in higher education.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the profile of critical reading, including reading habits, critical reading skills, and reading activities of the Kasepuhan Banten Kidul community. Critical reading skills are an essential foundation for modern society, which requires not only understanding the content of information but also evaluating the accuracy, relevance, and credibility of the sources of information obtained. Research on critical reading in indigenous communities especially studies that integrate reading habits, skills, and activities simultaneously using a mixed-methods approach remains limited. This study employs a mixed-methods design, with a qualitative approach used to explore the community's experiences, practices, and perceptions related to critical reading activities, while the quantitative approach measures reading frequency and comprehension levels. The study involved 279 participants, using data collection instruments including a 34-item reading habits questionnaire, a reading comprehension test analyzing 3 news items, and observations of reading activities. The results indicate that reading habits were at a moderate level for 217 respondents (77.8%), while critical reading skills were low, with 119 respondents scoring between 50–59. Pre-reading attention was relatively good, with most respondents paying attention to the title before reading the text (205 of 279 respondents) and also to images or illustrations accompanying the text (218 respondents). These findings suggest that reading activities have not been fully accompanied by deep cognitive engagement or a critical attitude toward content and sources.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the characteristics of Indonesian language textbooks used by fourth-grade elementary school students in Lebak Regency, focusing on material relevance, language accessibility, variety of learning activities, and visual presentation. The approach used was descriptive qualitative with content analysis. Data were obtained through document review of the textbooks used and reinforced by interviews with teachers to obtain a more contextual picture of learning. The research findings indicate that, in general, the textbooks adhere to curriculum standards and present material in a structured manner. However, the learning content is still dominated by general national themes and does not optimally accommodate the local socio-cultural context. The activities presented also focus more on literal understanding, so opportunities for developing higher-order thinking skills are still limited. In terms of language, the use of sentences is relatively simple and appropriate to the students' developmental level, although some sections still require additional explanation from the teacher. Meanwhile, the visual aspect is quite helpful in supporting understanding, but does not yet strongly represent the richness of local culture. Based on these results, this study recommends the need to develop textbooks that are more oriented towards contextual learning, strengthening the representation of local culture, and increasing activities that encourage critical thinking skills to support the effectiveness of learning at the elementary education level.

Abstract

This study examines the application of code-switching by a tutor in the context of English language instruction within a language course. It aims to classify the varieties of code-switching evident in the tutor's statements and elucidate their communicative roles during the instructional process. The research employs a qualitative methodology, utilizing data obtained from direct classroom observation and video recordings. A qualitative methodology, utilizing classroom observation and video documentation, was implemented. We looked at the data by putting different types and functions of code-switching into groups based on well-known theoretical frameworks. The findings indicate that the tutor utilized two forms of code-switching: inter-sentential switching, which involves switching between sentences, and intra-sentential switching, which involves switching within a sentence. The most common type was switching between sentences.The study also found that code-switching has four main purposes: changing the topic, affecting the mood, repeating something, and socializing. Among these, the topic switch function was used the most often. These results indicate that code-switching is a beneficial communication technique in English language instruction, facilitating classroom interaction and augmenting student comprehension.

Abstract

This study addresses the limited ecological readings of Bugis folklore by examining environmental representation and social ecology in the folktale Bakka Maroe. The article aims to analyze how ecological meanings are constructed through narrative symbols, conflict, and cultural values in the tale. This study employs a qualitative interpretive text analysis supported by semi-structured interviews with five purposively selected informants familiar with Bugis oral tradition. The analysis is organized using Garrard’s ecocritical categories of wilderness, animals, apocalypse, dwelling, pollution, and social ecology. The findings show that Bakka Maroe represents nature as a morally charged and unstable space, animals as ambivalent ecological agents, ecological disruption as a cultural warning, settlement as an ecological-political mode of dwelling, pollution as both material and ethical violation, and social ecology as the entanglement of environmental crisis with hierarchy and power. The novelty of this study lies in its integrated reading of environmental representation, social ecology, and cultural wisdom in a Bugis folktale through Garrard’s ecocritical framework, which has not been specifically applied to Bakka Maroe in previous studies.
