Abstract

Public spaces have increasingly become arenas in which multiple languages compete for visibility, reflecting social relations, identity, and power rather than merely conveying neutral information. Such contestation is particularly evident in ethnic minority settlements, where heritage languages often struggle to maintain an equal position alongside national and global languages. This phenomenon is clearly observable in Pontianak Chinatown, a historical center of Chinese settlement and commerce, where public signage features Indonesian, Mandarin, and English. This study aims to analyze language contestation on public signage in Pontianak Chinatown through a linguistic landscape perspective, focusing on the dominance of Indonesian and English, the subordinate position of Mandarin, and the informative and symbolic functions of public signs. The study employed a descriptive qualitative approach using visual content analysis, drawing on Landry and Bourhis’ framework of language functions and Ben-Rafael et al.'s classification of bottom-up and top-down signs. Data were collected through field observation and photographic documentation of 456 public signs across eleven streets and were analyzed using the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña. The findings reveal that monolingual signs dominate the linguistic landscape, accounting for 55.7% of the total data. Indonesian and English together constitute 98% of all monolingual signs, whereas Mandarin appears on 98 signs but functions as a supporting language on 95.9% of them. These findings indicate that the subordinate position of Mandarin results from an ongoing negotiation among ethnic identity, national language policy, and market pragmatism rather than from the absence of Mandarin in the public space of the area.

Abstract

As a literary work, the novel not only represents social reality but also constructs and reproduces power relations within society. This study aims to describe the representation of social status and cultural power in Nuriadi’s novel Merpati Kembar di Lombok through the lens of Pierre Bourdieu’s practice theory. This research is significant because studies regarding the mechanisms of reproducing Sasak social hierarchies through cultural practices in this novel remain limited. The study employs a qualitative approach using a descriptive-interpretative method. The data source is Nuriadi’s novel Merpati Kembar di Lombok, while the data consist of narratives, dialogues, monologues, and descriptions representing social status and cultural power. Data were collected using reading and note-taking techniques and subsequently analyzed using an interactive analysis model based on the concepts of habitus, field, cultural capital, and symbolic capital. The results indicate that these four concepts operate interdependently in the reproduction of social hierarchy. Habitus instills an understanding of status differences as natural, while the field of custom (adat) serves as the space where this understanding is maintained and negotiated. Cultural capital manifested as traditional knowledge, titles, and lineage confers distinct social positions, while symbolic capital transforms these differences into socially accepted authority and legitimacy. These mechanisms demonstrate that cultural power in the novel operates symbolically through customary practices, thereby enabling the sustained maintenance and reproduction of the Sasak social hierarchy.

Abstract

This study examines ritual transformation and cultural identity negotiation in the Tabuik Festival of Pariaman, West Sumatra, and explores their implications for social learning and sustainable tourism. A qualitative case study enriched by an ethnographic perspective was employed to examine how cultural actors respond to changes in the organization and public presentation of the festival. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and documentation and were analyzed thematically. The findings show that the transformation of Tabuik is selective rather than uniform. Adjustments are most visible in festival scheduling, public presentation, and tourism-oriented organization, while culturally significant ritual practices, customary responsibilities, and inherited knowledge continue to be maintained. Cultural identity is negotiated through community decisions concerning which aspects may be adapted and which continue to be maintained as culturally significant. Intergenerational participation also provides direct evidence of social learning, as younger members acquire cultural knowledge, social values, and responsibilities through observation and involvement in festival practices. Theoretically, the study contributes to understanding ritual transformation and cultural identity negotiation as interconnected processes shaped by selective adaptation and negotiated cultural continuity. Practically, the findings highlight the importance of involving local cultural actors in festival management, cultural representation, and intergenerational knowledge transmission. Sustainable tourism is interpreted more cautiously as a potential implication: community participation, cultural continuity, and culturally sensitive adaptation may provide important conditions for more sustainable tourism management in Pariaman, although comprehensive tourism sustainability was not directly measured in this study.

Abstract

Over-reduplication in bilingual aphasia has received limited attention, particularly among Sundanese–Indonesian speakers. This intrinsic case study examined reduplication patterns in one Sundanese–Indonesian bilingual speaker with mixed aphasia following typhoid meningitis. Data from spontaneous interactions, telephone conversations, WhatsApp exchanges, and structured elicitation tasks yielded 40 reduplication tokens. Each token was classified by morphological structure and relation to expected linguistic forms and communicative contexts. Structural categories comprised full reduplication, full reduplication with affixation, partial reduplication with full affixation, partial reduplication with affixation, and partial reduplication (dwipurwa). Productions were classified as anomalous or deviant; anomalous forms were not ordinarily used by general Sundanese speakers, whereas deviant forms departed from expected morphological, grammatical, semantic, or contextual patterns. The participant produced three full reduplication tokens, three full reduplication with affixation tokens, five partial reduplication with full affixation tokens, 28 partial reduplication with affixation tokens, and one dwipurwa token. Partial reduplication with affixation was most frequent (28/40; 70%). Fourteen tokens were anomalous and 37 deviant; classifications were not mutually exclusive. Although the participant produced repeated morphological material, forms were inconsistently aligned with linguistic norms and communicative expectations, suggesting disruption in morphological selection and monitoring. This study offers a detailed case-based description of over-reduplication in a Sundanese–Indonesian bilingual speaker with mixed aphasia, highlighting how typologically specific reduplication systems may be affected. Findings do not establish specific causal or declarative–procedural mechanisms and should not be generalized broadly. Controlled clinical studies with larger, more diverse samples are required before efficacy-based treatment protocols can be recommended.

Abstract

Pragmatic analysis is important for Indonesian Language Education students because prospective language teachers need to interpret language use appropriately across different communicative contexts. However, pragmatic instruction in higher education may provide limited opportunities for students to analyze authentic communicative situations and connect pragmatic concepts with contextual language use. Previous studies have examined case-based learning, technology-enhanced pragmatic learning, and AI-assisted language learning separately, but limited empirical research has investigated their integration specifically for developing university students’ pragmatic analysis skills. This study aimed to examine the difference in pragmatic analysis skills between Indonesian Language Education students who participated in Case-Based Learning assisted by the Tutura application and those who received conventional instruction. A quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental non-equivalent control group design was employed. The participants consisted of 66 fourth-semester Indonesian Language Education students, including 32 students from Universitas Negeri Padang as the experimental group and 34 students from Universitas Sriwijaya as the control group. Data were collected using a pragmatic analysis skills test administered as a pretest and posttest and analyzed using descriptive statistics, the Shapiro–Wilk normality test, Levene’s test, the Independent Samples t-test, normalized gain (N-Gain), and Cohen’s d. The experimental group’s mean score increased from 75.50 to 92.50, whereas the control group’s mean score increased from 77.38 to 87.38. The Independent Samples t-test indicated a statistically significant difference in posttest scores between the two groups, t(64) = 11.812, p < .001. The experimental group also showed a higher N-Gain score (0.694) than the control group (0.37), while the reported Cohen’s d was 2.91. These findings indicate greater observed improvement in pragmatic analysis skills among students who participated in Case-Based Learning assisted by the Tutura application. The findings suggest that integrating case-based pragmatic analysis with an AI-assisted learning resource may support contextual pragmatic learning in Indonesian Language Education. However, because the groups were drawn from different institutions and were not randomly assigned, the observed difference cannot be attributed exclusively to the instructional intervention.

Abstract

Problem-solving ability is important in higher education, particularly in Textbook Analysis courses requiring students to identify problems, evaluate evidence, generate alternatives, and formulate defensible recommendations. This study examined differences in students' problem-solving performance following instruction using an integrated active, creative, and responsive learning model. A quasi-experimental nonequivalent pretest-posttest control group design involved 68 students, comprising an experimental class (n = 34) and a control class (n = 34). Problem-solving ability was assessed using an essay test covering five indicators. Posttest scores were analyzed using analysis of covariance (ANCOVA), with pretest score as the covariate, while a Mann–Whitney U test of gain scores served as a nonparametric sensitivity analysis. Both classes had the same pretest mean (M = 62.38, SD = 1.71). After six meetings, the experimental class obtained a higher posttest mean (M = 87.29, SD = 1.49) than the control class (M = 75.29, SD = 1.49). ANCOVA indicated a significant between-class difference, F(1, 65) = 7210.442, p < .001, partial ?² = .991, with a mean difference of 12.00 points, 95% CI [11.72, 12.28]. The gain-score sensitivity analysis showed the same pattern (U = 0.000, p < .001). Hedges' g was exceptionally large (? 7.97) and should be interpreted cautiously because of restricted within-group variability. Overall, participation in the integrated instructional condition was associated with higher problem-solving performance. Because one intact class represented each condition and participants came from one study program at one university, the findings should not be interpreted as definitive causal evidence or generalized without replication.

Abstract

The impact of the digital communication ecosystem on educational institutions has become a key component of marketing strategies for Islamic elementary schools seeking to attract interest and influence student enrollment decisions. Beyond digitalization, the use of persuasive language and messaging is employed to capture the attention of parents as they select the best schools for their children. This study aims to concretely explain the influence of stylistic features, persuasive messaging, and digital advertising content on the promotional efforts of two prominent Islamic elementary schools in East Java Province: SD Islam Sabilillah in Malang and SD Al Hikmah in Surabaya. A quantitative approach with a causal-associative research design was utilized. The data were subsequently analyzed using statistical software through several stages: descriptive statistics, normality testing, heteroscedasticity testing, simultaneous testing (F-test), multiple linear regression, and the coefficient of determination test to examine the relationships between independent and dependent variables. The multiple linear regression results yielded a calculated F-value of 45.400, exceeding the F-table value of 1.395. On the other hand, based on the coefficient of determination, the result obtained for the relationship between variables X1,2,3 and variable Y is 76.6%. The probability value (sig.) was 0.001, which is below the 0.05 significance level. Consequently, the null hypothesis (Ho) was rejected and the alternative hypothesis (Ha) was accepted; it is concluded that brand awareness regarding these prominent Islamic elementary schools is influenced by stylistic features, persuasive messaging, and digital advertising content. The study’s implications contribute positively to modern marketing practices within educational institutions, facilitating adaptation to digital-era market segmentation. Schools will continue to actively promote themselves through digital communication media as a means of enhancing service quality.

Abstract

The rapid development of digital learning resources has transformed reading instruction. However, many digital texts used in classrooms remain disconnected from students' local cultural and social environments, and empirical research on how such locally grounded materials function in critical reading instruction remains limited. This study addresses this gap by examining the role of local context-based digital texts in fostering critical reading skills among secondary school students. The urgency of this research lies in the growing need for reading materials that are not only digitally accessible but also culturally relevant and cognitively challenging. The objective of this study is to explore how local context-based digital texts are utilized in critical reading instruction and how students respond to such materials. This research employed a qualitative case study approach involving 25 students and one junior high school. Data were collected through three sources: (1) classroom observations to document student engagement during reading activities, (2) document analysis of students' written reading responses to assess their critical reading performance, and (3) in-depth interviews with the teacher to capture pedagogical perceptions and challenges. The findings reveal that the use of local context-based digital texts was associated with higher student engagement, as students actively connected textual content with their everyday experiences and prior knowledge. Document analysis further demonstrated students' critical reading performance, particularly in their ability to interpret and reflect on the texts. Teacher interviews confirmed these observations but also identified challenges, including limited digital infrastructure and varying student reading proficiency. This study concludes that integrating local context into digital reading materials offers a promising pedagogical strategy for critical reading instruction within the specific context of this case study. However, these findings are limited to the 25 students and one junior high school examined and should not be generalized to other settings. The contribution of this research lies in providing an empirical account of how culturally responsive digital literacy practices can be implemented in a local classroom context, offering practical insights for teachers and curriculum developers in similar educational environments.

Abstract

Speaking instruction in Indonesian higher education requires materials that move beyond conceptual explanation toward authentic oral performance, culturally responsive communication, and digitally mediated learning. However, existing materials at Universitas Muhammadiyah Makassar were found to emphasize theoretical content, provide limited opportunities for sustained speaking practice, represent culture insufficiently as a communicative context, underuse digital resources for performance and feedback, and apply fragmented assessment. This study aimed to develop and establish the initial feasibility of digital communicative speaking materials integrating cultural literacy for university-level Indonesian language learning. A research and development design was employed through preliminary needs analysis, instructional planning, initial product development, expert validation, and revision. Data were obtained from lecturers and students through interviews and needs questionnaires, supported by classroom observations, course-document analysis, and expert evaluations of content, digital media, and language. Evidence across these sources consistently indicated the need for authentic speaking tasks, progressive learning sequences, culturally contextualized communication, multimodal resources, structured feedback, and integrated performance assessment. In response, the Gift-Learn prototype was developed as a recursive instructional system integrating multimodal resources, culturally situated speaking tasks, guided and authentic performance, peer and self-assessment, feedback, reflection, and electronic portfolios. Expert review led to revisions in conceptual accuracy, cultural representation, instructional clarity, interface navigation, accessibility, task manageability, and assessment criteria, supporting the prototype’s initial feasibility for subsequent limited classroom trials. The principal developmental contribution of the study is the operational integration of communicative performance, cultural literacy, digital interaction, feedback, reflection, and portfolio-based assessment within one coherent speaking-material system.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the referents and functions of swearing and to interpretively explain the power relations represented through utterances in Tulus Setiyadi's novel Pincuk Garing. The study employed a descriptive qualitative approach using sociolinguistic content analysis. The data consisted of twelve utterances containing swearing, mockery, ridicule, or negative labeling directed at the character Sthirawati. The data were collected through documentation and intensive reading and then analyzed using a classification of swearing referents, affective meaning, the SPEAKING framework, and the concept of symbolic power. The results show three operational referents, namely physical, economic, and social, with social referents as the most dominant. The functions of swearing comprise hatred in five data items, dissatisfaction in five data items, and surprise in two data items. Contextual analysis shows that purpose, speech sequence, tone, norms, and participant status determine the function of the utterance. The strongest power relations occur between employer and worker, village head and resident, and village official and resident. Interpretively, swearing in the novel is presented not only as an expression of emotion but also as a textual device that restricts criticism, weakens legitimacy, and contributes to the portrayal of stigma against an economically disadvantaged woman with a disability rather than a measured social effect.
