The use of gamification in language learning has become increasingly popular as an innovative strategy to improve students’ engagement and motivation in the classroom. This study aims to investigate students’ perceptions of gamification through Wayground in English Grammar classes. The study employed a mixed-method approach involving quantitative and qualitative data collection. The participants consisted of 40 students enrolled in English Grammar classes. Data were collected through a Likert-scale questionnaire and open-ended responses distributed via Google Forms. The findings revealed that most students had positive perceptions toward the implementation of gamification in grammar learning. The majority of participants agreed that Wayground made grammar lessons more interesting, enjoyable, and interactive. Students also reported that gamified activities increased their motivation, participation, and classroom engagement. In addition, competitive features and instant feedback encouraged students to become more active during learning activities. Qualitative responses showed that many students considered grammar learning through games to be less stressful and more enjoyable compared to traditional teaching methods. However, several challenges were also identified. Some students stated that internet connectivity and technical issues affected their learning experience. A few participants also mentioned that competition sometimes created pressure or reduced their focus on understanding the material. Moreover, several students still preferred a combination of gamified and traditional grammar teaching to achieve better comprehension of grammar concepts. Overall, the study suggests that gamification through Wayground can create a more engaging and enjoyable learning environment in English grammar classes while still requiring balanced instructional strategies and adequate technological support.

This research aims to analyze mood and modality in the dialogues and to explore how interpersonal metafunction reflects power and despair. The audience of Prisoners movie often focused on the father-daughter relationship between Keller and Anna which overlooks the significance of character interactions in constructing meaning. This study applies a descriptive qualitative method using selected scenes from the movie script focusing on Keller and Loki. It applies Halliday’s Systemic Functional Linguistics, particularly the interpersonal metafunction, along with Rotter’s Locus of Control theory to examine how power and despair are constructed by linguistic choices. The findings show that obligation is the most dominant type of modality, with Keller’s dialogue highly dominated by obligation, reflecting his tendency to control situations. Keller also shows a dominance of internal Locus of Control, indicating his refusal to be passive, while Loki demonstrates a balance between internal and external control. In terms of mood, Keller frequently uses declarative and imperative sentences, while Loki often uses interrogative forms

This study explores the hidden mechanisms of patriarchal oppression in Charlotte Perkins Gilman’s short story, The Yellow Wallpaper. While previous studies have widely discussed its general feminist themes, there is a lack of research analyzing how specific everyday objects actively build this oppressive atmosphere. To fill this gap, this study applies Roland Barthes’ three-level semiotic theory—denotation, connotation, and myth—to decode ordinary household items within the story. Using a qualitative approach based on document analysis and close reading, the textual data was analyzed using the interactive model by Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña. The findings reveal that the husband's medical authority, the barred nursery room, and the ugly yellow wallpaper work together as a complex sign system. This system is carefully designed to normalize male dominance, treat the adult female protagonist like a helpless child, and silence her intellectual freedom. Ultimately, this semiotic analysis uncovers a tragic myth: the patriarchal system would rather drive a woman completely insane than grant her true equality. This study concludes that ordinary objects in literature are not just simple backgrounds, but powerful tools that carry deep ideological meanings about gender and systemic control.

This study explores the contribution of memes and internet slangs to the construction of modern cultural identity in virtual communities. As social media emojis language like X, TikTok and Instagram continue to be integral components of communication people start to create and use memes and slangs that even surpasses casual talk. These are lines that communicate shared values, shared humour, shared resistance, and shared membership with others. This article provides qualitative content analysis, inquiring into the nature and uses of these terms. The results show that memes and slangs is a cultural marker that affects how people create groups, define their identities, and interact with others online. The relationship between identity politics and language innovation in digital contexts is also examined in this study. The work adds to sociolinguistics and digital cultural studies by analysing how language changes in real-time via virtual encounters, highlighting the significance of meme and slangs as a potent, dynamic form of cultural expression.

This study highlights that although many studies have examined reflective mentoring in EFL teacher education, only a few studies have linked it with the Funds of Identity theory. This study aims to investigate the influence of reflective mentoring on the professional identity development of EFL student teachers. Using a qualitative case study design, this research involved eight EFL student teachers from the English Education Department at Jabal Ghafur University who were undergoing teaching practicums. Data were collected through reflective journals and semi-structured interviews, then analyzed using thematic analysis. Guided by the Funds of Identity framework, the findings indicate that reflective mentoring supports the development of self-awareness, self-confidence, pedagogical competence, and reflective thinking. The findings also showed that professional identity construction was influenced by several sources of identity, particularly social relationships with mentors and peers, past learning experiences, language-related experiences, personal values, and future aspirations. Among these sources of identity, social relationships emerged as the most dominant factor. This study implied that reflective mentoring can support the development of more reflective, confident, and competent EFL student teachers.

Questions of identity remain central to contemporary American and diasporic fiction because racial history, gendered expectations, migration, and material inequality shape both self-understanding and social recognition. Existing studies commonly examine these dimensions or authors separately, leaving limited comparative analysis of how they interact across narratives of enslavement and transnational mobility. This article compares Toni Morrison's Beloved, Colson Whitehead's The Underground Railroad, Jhumpa Lahiri's The Namesake, and Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's Americanah. It asks how the novels construct identity through race, gender, migration, and social inequality and what their juxtaposition contributes to literary studies of identity. A qualitative comparative design combines close reading, thematic coding, and cross-text interpretation informed by Hall's cultural identity, Bhabha's hybridity, Butler's gender performativity, and Crenshaw's intersectionality. The analysis identifies four interrelated patterns: racial identity is produced through historical memory and institutional definition; gender is embodied through repeated social practices and constrained forms of agency; migrant belonging develops through naming, language, hair, domestic practice, and cultural translation; and inequality determines whose identity is recognized, disciplined, or rendered precarious. Across the corpus, identity is neither an autonomous possession nor unrestricted fluidity. It is a negotiated position formed through memory, place, embodiment, and unequal power. The comparative framework therefore connects neo-slave and migration narratives while showing that resistance involves reclaiming interpretive authority over the meanings imposed on racialized and migrant subjects.

This study examines the types of code-mixing employed by Shanika, a beauty influencer, in her TikTok videos and analyzes their distribution across her content. Based on Muysken's (2000) classification, which categorizes code-mixing into insertion, alternation, and congruent lexicalization, this study identifies the most prevalent type and explores how these patterns function within digital communication. Using a qualitative descriptive methodology, the analysis examines five video posts from Shanika's official TikTok account, covering hair care, fashion, and lifestyle. The findings indicate that insertion is the most frequently observed form, with 56 instances (65.1%), followed by congruent lexicalization with 16 instances (18.6%), and alternation with 14 instances (16.3%). The study suggests that Shanika predominantly inserts English lexemes into Indonesian grammatical structures to convey concepts related to beauty and fashion more accurately and effectively. The predominance of insertions reflects a strategic use of code-mixing by content creators to enhance audience engagement, project a contemporary image, and align with global trends in digital media. This study contributes to understanding code-mixing practices in digital communication in Indonesia and offers insights into how bilingual content creators reach multilingual audiences on social media platforms.

This qualitative single-site case study examined how three English teachers at SMAN 1 Lenek, East Lombok, interpreted and enacted Indonesia’s Pembelajaran Mendalam, a pedagogical approach emphasizing mindful, meaningful, and joyful learning. Data comprised one complete lesson observation, one individual semi-structured interview, and one lesson document for each teacher. A hybrid thematic analysis used the official Pembelajaran Mendalam framework as a sensitizing lens while allowing context-specific patterns to be developed from the data. The teachers generally associated the approach with relevance, student participation, and a positive classroom climate, although they differed in how explicitly they articulated its formal components. Observed practices included personal check-ins, real-world framing, contextualized scaffolding, and flexible adaptation when planned media were unavailable. Because only one lesson per teacher was observed and the correspondence between some lesson documents and observed sessions could not be fully established, planned-enacted comparisons were interpreted cautiously. Reported constraints included uneven conceptual familiarity, technology access, variable student participation, and tension between depth and curriculum coverage. The study extends readiness-oriented research by illustrating how a national pedagogical direction was interpreted and adapted in a non-urban EFL context. The findings support sustained, practice-based professional development, shared planning criteria, and school-level support for iterative implementation.

Language functions are fundamental to human communication because they enable speakers to convey information, express emotions, maintain social interaction, and influence others in different communicative contexts. These functions have become increasingly important in live-streaming commerce, particularly on TikTok Live, where sellers are expected to provide product information while simultaneously engaging viewers and encouraging purchasing decisions through real-time interaction. Although previous studies have explored persuasive communication, pragmatics, and consumer behavior in live-streaming commerce, limited attention has been devoted to examining how language functions operate collectively as pragmatic strategies in owner-hosted TikTok Live selling sessions. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the language functions employed by the owner-host of Boss Up Cosmetic during TikTok Live selling and to examine how these functions support persuasive communication. This study employed a qualitative descriptive approach by analyzing 153 utterances collected from recorded TikTok Live sessions conducted between July and October 2025. The data were transcribed, classified according to Jakobson's (1960) six language functions, and analyzed using qualitative content analysis. The findings revealed that all six language functions were employed during the live-selling sessions, with the conative function occurring most frequently, followed by the referential, phatic, emotive, metalingual, and poetic functions. These findings indicate that language functions operate collectively as pragmatic strategies that not only provide product information but also strengthen audience engagement and encourage purchasing decisions during TikTok Live selling. Consequently, this study extends the application of Jakobson's theory to digital commerce and contributes to the growing body of research on pragmatics in live-streaming communication.

This study examines the interpersonal meaning realized through the mood system in The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry using the framework of Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL). Drawing on the theories proposed by M.A.K. Halliday and further elaborated by Suzanne Eggins as well as Linda Gerot and Peter Wignell, this research focuses on how mood choices declarative, interrogative, and imperative are used by the main characters, namely the Prince and the Pilot, to construct interpersonal relationships.The data were taken from selected dialogues in the novel, particularly those that highlight interactions between the two main characters. The analysis applies the concept of the clause as exchange, identifying the Mood element (Subject and Finite) and Residue to determine the type and function of each clause. The findings reveal that declarative clauses are predominantly used to convey information and express philosophical reflections, while interrogative clauses indicate curiosity and exploration, especially from the Prince. Imperative clauses appear less frequently but reflect moments of request or subtle authority.Overall, the study shows that mood choices play a significant role in shaping the interpersonal dynamics between characters. The Prince tends to use more interrogatives, reflecting innocence and curiosity, whereas the Pilot relies more on declaratives, indicating experience and narrative control. This study contributes to SFL-based literary analysis by highlighting how grammatical choices can reveal deeper meanings and character relationships within a narrative text.
