Abstract

This study explores the representation of emotional healing, vulnerability, and self-acceptance in the song “Let Your Body Heal” by Yaeow through the framework of Teun A. van Dijk’s Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA). The research aims to investigate the textual structure, social cognition, and social context embedded in the song lyrics to uncover the ideological meanings conveyed through contemporary musical discourse. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach, the study utilizes library research and lyric analysis as the primary methods of data collection and interpretation. The findings reveal that the song constructs emotional healing as a process grounded in empathy, compassion, and interpersonal support, encouraging individuals to acknowledge emotional pain and embrace self-recovery. At the textual level, the lyrics employ semantic, stylistic, and rhetorical elements that reinforce themes of vulnerability and resilience. From the perspective of social cognition, the discourse is influenced by the songwriter’s personal experiences, particularly his physical injury and emotional struggles during his former career as a ski athlete. In terms of social context, the song reflects broader contemporary concerns surrounding mental health, emotional vulnerability, and identity formation among young people in modern society. This study contributes to the growing body of discourse studies on popular music by demonstrating how song lyrics function as a medium for negotiating emotional experience and social meaning in contemporary culture.

Abstract

Multilingualism is a central element in the dynamics of verbal communication among groups in Langensari District, Banjar City. This research aims to explore the phenomenon of multilingualism and the variety of communication between its community groups. Through a qualitative phenomenological approach using the Basa Urang Project Interview Package (Cohn et al., 2013) complemented by structured questionnaire sets and field observation notes with 38 respondents selected via purposive sampling, representing local families, economic actors, and school members. This study reveals that the Langensari community is multilingual, comprising speakers of Sundanese, Javanese, and Indonesian. Data analysis was carried out through data reduction, thematic contextual interpretation of interview transcripts, and numerical tabulation to map language patterns. In this study, multilingual practices are defined as the dynamic integration, alternate use, and switching of linguistic units from two or more languages within an utterance. Results show that multilingualism in Langensari District remains established through communication among family members, which reinforces regional languages as the basis of identity. Meanwhile, interaction among economic actors, among school members, and in other public spaces is dominated by Indonesian as a formal lingua franca. The sociolinguistic flexibility of the community is further reflected through the trend of multilingual practices, specifically code-switching types such as JaSun, JaIna, and SunIna, to bridge ethnic diversity in daily interactions. The novelty of this study is the Communicative Rationality of Borders (CRB) framework, showing how trilingual speakers balance identity preservation with pragmatic accommodation to guide language policy. Future research should track dialect evolution in digital-native youth and test CRB in other borderlands.

Abstract

The rapid development of digital communication has generated and popularized technology-related vocabulary in Indonesian, including established Indonesian forms and standardized equivalents of foreign terms. Some of these forms are recorded in the Kamus Besar Bahasa Indonesia (KBBI), although their perceived comprehension among university students may vary. This study investigates university students’ perceived comprehension of fourteen digital vocabulary items recorded as standardized Indonesian forms in KBBI, including unggah (upload), swafoto (selfie), pranala (link), and metamesta (metaverse). A descriptive quantitative survey was conducted with 80 undergraduate students aged 18–24 years. Data were collected using a four-point scale ranging from Do Not Understand to Fully Understand to measure respondents’ perceived comprehension of each lexical item. The overall mean score was 3.1, placing perceived comprehension in the Understand category. However, substantial variation was observed across items. The highest mean scores were recorded for unggah, unduh (download), virtual, warganet (netizen), and gawai (gadget), whereas metamesta, pranala, and pelantang (microphone) received the lowest scores. The findings indicate that lexicographic standardization does not necessarily correspond to uniform perceived comprehension among users. The study contributes to discussions of Indonesian language planning, vocabulary standardization, and digital language use by highlighting the importance of considering user-level comprehension alongside the documentation of standardized lexical forms.

Abstract

A model book becomes useful only when it translates a pedagogical idea into decisions that lecturers can apply in real classrooms. This study examined the content validity of a local wisdom-based Task-Based Language Learning (TBLL) model book for writing instruction in an Indonesian Islamic higher education setting. The study reports the expert-validation stage of an educational design research process. Three validators with complementary expertise in English language teaching and writing, instructional design, and culturally responsive pedagogy independently reviewed the product. A four-point instrument covered six areas: development foundation, language, material suitability, model planning, implementation, and assessment. Mean scores were complemented by indicator-level Aiken's V coefficients, while written comments were grouped thematically to guide revision. The model book obtained an overall mean of 3.82 and an Aiken's V of 0.94. Assessment received the strongest judgment (M = 4.00; V = 1.00), followed by material suitability and implementation (M = 3.90; V = 0.97). Language received the lowest score, although it remained within the very valid range (M = 3.60; V = 0.87). The comments led to clearer terminology, more explicit weekly planning, classroom scenarios, cultural-verification guidance, and sample rubrics. Unlike studies centred on student textbooks or the effectiveness of a teaching intervention, this study validates a lecturer-oriented instructional architecture that connects TBLL principles, local knowledge, writing processes, classroom roles, and assessment before field testing.

Abstract

Students’ low interest in digital reading amid high social media usage poses a challenge for Indonesian language instruction in the digital age. This study aims to identify and analyze the effectiveness of interactive social media-based and gamification instructional strategies in developing students’ interest in digital reading. This study employs a qualitative approach, involving 132 tenth-grade students and several Indonesian language teachers as research subjects. Data collection was conducted through observation, interviews, questionnaires, and documentation. Research instruments included observation sheets, interview guidelines, digital reading interest questionnaires, and learning documentation. The data were analyzed using qualitative thematic analysis through the stages of data reduction, data presentation, interpretation, and drawing conclusions. The results of the study indicate that the implementation of interactive learning strategies based on social media and gamification falls into the “very good” category, with an implementation rate of 85.4%. The use of social media platforms such as WhatsApp, Instagram, Padlet, and Google Classroom was able to increase student participation, collaboration, and digital literacy activities. Additionally, the application of gamification elements—such as points, badges, leaderboards, and reading missions—successfully boosted student motivation and engagement in digital reading activities. Students’ interest in digital reading achieved an average percentage of 81.1%, falling into the “very good” category. The majority of students were in the “high” and “very high” categories regarding digital reading interest. Thus, social media-based interactive learning strategies combined with gamification are effective in increasing students’ interest in digital reading.

Abstract

Traditional healing practices constitute an important form of cultural and ecological knowledge that requires documentation and preservation, particularly as oral traditions face the risk of declining transmission across generations. This study examines the representation of natural elements and spiritual values in the Sembur Pansang Mantras practiced by the Malay community in Kemuning Village, West Kalimantan, Indonesia, from an ecocritical perspective. The study employed a descriptive qualitative approach informed by literary ecocriticism. The data consisted of transcribed utterances of ten Sembur Pansang Mantras collected through in-depth interviews and audio-recorded recitations performed by three belian, traditional practitioners who perform healing rituals and transmit healing knowledge within the community. The recorded utterances were transcribed and analysed thematically to identify recurring representations of nature and spirituality, which were subsequently interpreted through an ecocritical framework to examine how the mantras construct relationships between humans, the natural environment, and the spiritual realm. The findings reveal that nine of the ten mantras incorporate natural elements that function not merely as metaphors but also as healing media believed to possess therapeutic powers. The spiritual dimensions of the mantras reflect Islamic beliefs embraced by the Malay community, particularly the recognition of divine power in healing practices. These representations demonstrate a worldview in which nature is not regarded merely as an object for human use but as a meaningful entity that is respected and believed to participate in human well-being. The study contributes to ecocritical and folklore studies by demonstrating how oral healing traditions encode ecological and spiritual relationships and highlights the importance of documenting traditional knowledge as part of cultural and environmental heritage preservation.

Abstract

The rapid growth of digital technology has transformed EFL reading activities, particularly through multicultural digital texts on various platforms. This research addresses the gap in understanding how different digital platforms support diverse reading strategies in EFL contexts. This study explores students' responses to multicultural digital texts in reading comprehension, identifies their reading strategies, and analyzes the educational benefits of different digital platforms. Using a descriptive quantitative design, the research involved 122 third-semester English Literature students at Medan State University. Data were collected via a pre-test survey and Google Form questionnaires after students engaged with Twitter/X (n=87), TikTok (n=86), TV News (n=89), and blog texts (n=160). Descriptive statistics (frequencies and percentages) and comparative analysis were used to examine responses, reading strategies, engagement, and literacy development across platforms. Results showed positive student reactions to multicultural digital texts. Students employed prediction, inference, comprehension monitoring, and credibility evaluation strategies. Each platform offered distinct contributions: Twitter/X enhanced digital literacy and critical assessment (51.2% verified credibility); TikTok fostered multimodal understanding and engagement (67.4% replayed content); TV News developed contextual and analytical interpretation (43.8% adjusted attention); blogs promoted deep reading and metacognitive awareness (45.3% sought clarification). Additionally, multicultural texts improved intercultural understanding and global consciousness. The study highlights the potential of integrating multicultural content with digital media to foster critical thinking and cultural awareness. Overall, the findings suggest that multicultural digital texts can make EFL reading comprehension more interactive, contextual, and digitally oriented, supporting the development of digital literacy, metacognitive strategies, and intercultural competence.

Abstract

Artificial intelligence has transformed language from a human meaning-making practice into an interaction among computational models, semantic theories, and social values. This systematic literature review examines how scholarship conceptualises language meaning in the AI era and identifies conditions for interpretable, culturally responsive, and ethically accountable machine language understanding. Following PRISMA, the review screened records retrieved from Scopus and sources, synthesising 36 eligible studies through thematic analysis and a Theory–Context–Characteristics–Methodology lens. Evidence shows that scholarship is organised around an interconnected AI–machine learning–natural language processing nexus, with large language models, semantic representation, machine translation, and human–AI interaction as lines of inquiry. Rather than demonstrating that machines simply “understand” language, the studies reveal a shift from formal semantic processing towards contextual, pragmatic, and relational accounts of meaning. Persistent limitations remain: technical performance receives greater attention than linguistic diversity, social consequences, interpretability, algorithmic fairness, privacy, and cultural conditions in which meaning is negotiated. The review also identifies an uneven geography of knowledge production: studies from North America and Europe advance foundational and ethical debates, whereas Asian research foregrounds local applications. Its principal contribution is a multidimensional synthesis connecting computational development with philosophy of language, linguistics, cognition, and ethics, moving beyond narrowly technical reviews of AI language systems. Future research should test culturally adaptive and explainable models across minoritised and multilingual languages, combine computational evaluation with human-centred inquiry, and establish cross-regional collaborations that treat linguistic justice as a core design principle. Meaningful AI requires not textual fluency alone, but accountable participation in context-sensitive human communication.
