Abstract

The Citarum River was selected because its severe material degradation has been condensed in public discourse into the durable label “the world’s dirtiest river,” while the Citarum Harum programme seeks to replace that image with a narrative of restoration. The central problem is therefore not only pollution but also the ideological consequences of repeated media labelling: a temporary ecological condition can become a stable public identity that continues to circulate after material conditions begin to improve. This study examines how Indonesian online media construct ecological awareness through semantic choices that represent the Citarum from pollution to restoration. It uses a qualitative semantic-discursive design supported by descriptive frequency counts. The corpus consists of 50 unique Indonesian online-media articles published between 2018 and 2024. Predicative, evaluative, and metalinguistic units were collected, cleaned, and coded into seven categories: ecological condition attribution, sensory intensification, evaluative classification, metalinguistic labelling, identity stabilization, identity repair or delabelling, and counter-identity construction. Thirty-one units met the analytical criteria. The findings show a trajectory in which descriptions of waste, contamination, color, foam, and odor are intensified into scalar judgments, converted into public labels, and discursively stabilized through repetition and historical recall. Restoration discourse then builds ecological awareness through temporal distancing, explicit delabelling, measurable evidence of recovery, and positive target attributes such as clean, swimmable, potable, and paripurna ‘fully restored/ideal’. The study proposes ecological identity repair to explain how media discourse renegotiates a non-human entity’s discursively stabilized public identity. It concludes that restoration communication must address both material recovery and the discursive memory created by earlier media labels.

Abstract

Authentic materials have increasingly been used in translation classes to connect classroom learning with real-world communication. However, further exploration is needed into how students with diverse language proficiency levels and learning styles perceive the contribution of authentic materials to their context awareness. This study employed a mixed-methods case study design involving 24 students enrolled in a Basic Translation course at the English Education Department of Universitas Muria Kudus. The participants had diverse language proficiency levels based on the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) and learning styles (visual, auditory, and kinesthetic). Data were collected through a reflective questionnaire and learner profile survey to explore students’ perceptions and reflections on translating authentic texts, including short functional texts, news items, narratives, descriptive texts, everyday-life texts, cultural texts, and public information. The findings, based on students’ self-reported reflections and perceptions rather than direct measurements of improvement, indicate that students generally perceived authentic-text translation as helpful in recognizing social, cultural, and situational factors in translation. Students also reported various challenges. Those with lower language proficiency frequently mentioned difficulties with vocabulary, time allocation, and interpreting unclear meanings, while other students identified challenges involving idiomatic expressions, naturalness, and cultural adaptation. Students’ reflections also illustrated different ways of articulating context awareness, although the data do not establish that learning styles determine or predict such awareness. These findings offer pedagogical insights into the use of diverse authentic materials, instructional scaffolding, and structured reflection to support inclusive translation instruction for learners with diverse profiles.

Abstract

Patriarchal ideology has long shaped the construction of female identity in literary narratives by positioning women within unequal gender relations that limit their agency and autonomy. Although previous studies on Eka Kurniawan's Cantik Itu Luka have examined patriarchy, gender discrimination, violence against women, and female resistance, limited attention has been paid to how resistance reconstructs female identity. Therefore, this study investigates the representation of patriarchal structures in the novel and explores how acts of resistance contribute to the reconstruction of female identity. This research employed a qualitative descriptive design using a feminist literary criticism approach integrated with identity construction theory. The primary data consisted of narrative texts, dialogues, and characterizations in Cantik Itu Luka, while supporting data were obtained from relevant scholarly literature. Data were collected through close reading and documentation and analyzed using the interactive qualitative analysis model. The findings reveal that patriarchal domination is manifested through objectification, sexual violence, marginalization, subordination, and symbolic oppression. Nevertheless, the female characters negotiate these oppressive structures through survival strategies, self-determination, and the rejection of patriarchal norms. These forms of resistance enable them to reconstruct their identities and reclaim agency. The study concludes that Cantik Itu Luka portrays female identity as a dynamic and continuously negotiated process, highlighting resistance as a crucial means of challenging patriarchal ideology and redefining women's subjectivity in contemporary Indonesian literature.

Abstract

Corpus linguistics or forensic linguistics allows us to apply language theory to explore texts on a large scale along with the development of appropriate corpora sizes and powerful computing machines. The purpose of this study is to reveal the pattern of using the word "defendant" empirically in terms of frequency and concordance. The data source for this research was taken from a corpus of legal judicial documents obtained through the official directory website. The process of quantitative data analysis and tracking the appearance of words was carried out using digital text analysis software, namely Voyant Tools. Based on the results of the legal discourse analysis, it was found that the lexeme "defendant" is the most dominant word that appears in the case file when entered into the data file. Factual testing through Voyant Tools showed a very high frequency for the word "defendant", reaching a total of 167 occurrences, far outnumbering the appearance of other legal terms such as the word "suspect". The significant dominance of the lexeme "defendant" in the judgment document indicates a strong process of textual labeling and the potential bias of legal language that locks in identity and constructs the fault of the legal subject. This quantitative dominance indicates a strong referential labeling of the perpetrator's name throughout the text of the judicial decision document. This research demonstrates the effectiveness of utilizing digital corpus tools (Voyant Tools) to objectively and empirically evaluate the application of the presumption of innocence principle in forensic linguistics and legal discourse studies.

Abstract

The integration of local cultural content into English language instruction has been widely advocated, yet in Papua such content remains marginal in classroom materials, which continue to privilege foreign cultural references, while technology-based media are increasingly adopted without local grounding. Addressing this condition is urgent because cultural relevance and technological accessibility must be considered simultaneously in multilingual and geographically isolated regions such as Southwest Papua, where culturally distant materials weaken engagement while unstable connectivity limits access. This study examines how students and lecturers perceive the integration of Papuan local content—folktales, traditional practices, local landscapes, and community values—into technology-based EFL learning media at the tertiary level. Employing a sequential explanatory mixed-methods design, the study involved 74 undergraduate students of an English Education study program in Sorong who completed a validated 24-item Likert-scale questionnaire, and six EFL lecturers who participated in semi-structured interviews; the qualitative strand was used explicitly to explain the questionnaire results. Quantitative data were analyzed descriptively and qualitative data thematically. Students held highly positive perceptions (overall mean 3.41 of 4.00), highest for cultural relevance and cultural identity and lowest for technology usability. Lecturers viewed the integration as pedagogically valuable and identity-affirming, but identified four constraints: limited internet infrastructure, uneven digital competence, the scarcity of documented Papuan cultural sources, and the risk of cultural misrepresentation. Because the data are perception-based, the findings provide an empirical basis for developing culturally responsive and infrastructure-sensitive digital EFL media—offline-capable, lecturer-supported, and validated by cultural custodians—rather than evidence of improved learning outcomes, which would require subsequent design-based and experimental verification.

Abstract

Gurindam, a two-line traditional Malay poetic form, conveys moral values and local wisdom but remains difficult for many university students to write. Preliminary assessment at the Indonesian Language Education Study Program of UIN Sultan Syarif Kasim Riau showed that only 22.86% of students met the overall criteria for appropriate gurindam writing. This study aimed to develop Weebly-based digital teaching materials integrating Malay local wisdom and examine their validity, practicality, and association with students’ writing performance. The study employed Research and Development using the 4D model (Define, Design, Develop, Disseminate). Fifty students were purposively selected from 102 students enrolled in the Malay Literary History course, while a separate group of 15 students participated in the limited trial. Data were collected through needs questionnaires, lecturer interviews, expert-validation sheets, practicality questionnaires, and pre-test and post-test writing tasks assessed with a validated rubric. Data were analyzed descriptively and through CVR/CVI, inter-rater reliability, paired-sample t-test, and N-gain. Results showed that 87% of students reported a high need for interactive digital materials. The product was rated highly feasible by experts (mean = 4.48/5; CVI = 0.94) and practical by students (91.2%) and lecturers (89.5%). Mean writing scores increased from 56.3 to 82.7, t(49) = -12.45, p < .001, with a medium N-gain (0.61). These findings indicate meaningful improvement during the eight-week implementation and support the feasibility of combining digital scaffolding and Malay local wisdom in traditional poetry instruction in higher education. Causal inference, however, remains limited by the absence of a control group within this context.

Abstract

The integration of digital technology and culturally relevant learning resources is essential for strengthening elementary students’ literacy and numeracy skills within the Merdeka Curriculum. However, learning in primary schools remains largely dependent on conventional teaching materials, which provide limited interactive and contextual learning experiences. This study aimed to develop and evaluate the validity, practicality, and effectiveness of an interactive digital flipbook based on Indonesian folklore (Legenda Nusantara) for improving the Indonesian language literacy and numeracy skills of third-grade elementary school students. This Research and Development (R&D) study employed the ADDIE model and involved 32 third-grade students at SDN Wedoro, Waru, Sidoarjo. Data were collected through expert validation, teacher and student response questionnaires, observations, and pretest–posttest assessments. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, normalized gain (N-gain), and a paired-sample t-test. The results showed that the developed flipbook achieved a validity score of 94.3%. Its practicality was supported by teacher and student response scores of 96.1% and 94.8%, respectively, indicating that the media was highly practical for classroom use. Students’ Indonesian language literacy scores increased from 66.25 to 87.81, while numeracy scores improved from 64.53 to 85.97. The average N-gain of 0.71 was categorized as high, and the paired-sample t-test indicated a statistically significant improvement (p < .001). These findings indicate that the interactive digital flipbook provides a valid and practical learning resource and contributes to improving students’ literacy and numeracy skills through contextual and culturally relevant learning based on Indonesian folklore. The developed media can therefore be considered an innovative learning resource to support literacy and numeracy development in elementary education.

Abstract

This study aimed to design and develop a TikTok-based learning medium for A1-level French speaking skills. The research employed the Research and Development (R&D) method using the Planning, Production, and Evaluation (PPE) model. The planning stage involved a needs analysis, the identification of learning objectives, and the selection of instructional materials based on the A1 descriptors of the Cadre Européen Commun de Référence pour les Langues (CECRL). The production stage resulted in four TikTok learning videos covering the topics Les salutations, Se présenter, Les membres de la famille, and Présenter sa famille. Data were collected through literature review, documentation, and expert judgement. The literature review and documentation data were analysed descriptively, while the expert assessment data were analysed using descriptive quantitative analysis based on a five-point Likert scale. The evaluation stage involved one subject-matter expert and one media expert. The validation results indicated that the learning medium achieved a feasibility score of 94.29% from the subject-matter expert, categorised as Highly Feasible, and 74.29% from the media expert, categorised as Feasible. Based on these findings, the developed TikTok-based learning medium was deemed feasible as an alternative instructional medium for teaching A1-level French speaking skills.

Abstract

Learner autonomy is particularly important for first-year university students who are adjusting to learning environments that require greater responsibility and independence. This study examined how independent learning activities were implemented in an English for Accounting course and how they contributed to the gradual development of learner autonomy among first-year Accounting students at a private higher education institution in Indonesia. A qualitative reflective inquiry design was employed, with data collected over one academic semester through classroom observations, student assignments, course documents, and reflective teaching notes. The findings showed that learner autonomy developed gradually rather than through the withdrawal of lecturer support. Students initially relied heavily on lecturer guidance, but later demonstrated greater decision-making, information-seeking behaviour, self-direction, and responsibility for completing learning tasks. Evidence from classroom observations, assignments, and reflective records showed that students increasingly consulted learning resources before asking questions, initiated tasks with less procedural guidance, and became more confident in using accounting-related English. However, dependence on translation and AI-assisted tools, limited vocabulary, and passive learning habits remained challenges. These findings suggest that learner autonomy in ESP contexts can be fostered through contextualised independent learning activities supported by sustained lecturer guidance and reflective teaching.

Abstract

Language in multicultural societies is a potent tool that can construct social cohesion or instigate discrimination and domination, particularly evident in agrarian conflicts. This study examines the semantic, metaphorical, and cultural dimensions of hate speech within a palm oil land ownership dispute at the Langkat District Court. The research focuses on the utterance "Hai Cina Anjing, Kontol, Pukimak, aku punya kuasa di sini kuratakan semua ini" to identify the forms and types of hate metaphors, analyze their semantic meanings and cultural contexts, and explain their function in shaping cultural narratives and social identities. Employing a descriptive qualitative approach, the analysis utilizes Critical Metaphor Analysis (CMA) and Conceptual Metaphor Theory (CMT) to deconstruct the linguistic data derived from court transcripts and news reports. The findings reveal a complex interplay of animal, sexual, power, and violence metaphors that systematically dehumanize the opponent. The animal metaphor "dog" frames the target as morally degraded, while sexual profanities attack personal honor, and claims of power assert territorial dominance. These metaphors construct a rigid cultural narrative of "us" versus "them," reinforcing social boundaries and legitimizing symbolic violence. The study concludes that this hate speech functions as an ideological instrument for identity formation and the maintenance of social hierarchy within the context of land disputes. This research offers significant implications for legal practice by providing a semantic-metaphorical framework to detect and address harmful speech, and for society by highlighting the critical need for language ethics and reconciliation in conflict resolution.
