Abstract

This study investigates the implementation of bilingual education using English and Indonesian in mathematics instruction at SMP Aqobah International School. The research aims to explore how bilingual education is applied and to identify the challenges faced during its implementation. Employing a descriptive qualitative method, data were collected through observations, interviews with students, teachers, and school administrators, as well as questionnaires distributed to eighth-grade students. The findings reveal that the school adopts a bilingual teaching approach aligned with the Cambridge curriculum, where English is used predominantly, while Indonesian serves as a supportive language to aid comprehension. Teachers function as facilitators and motivators, employing various strategies such as interactive lectures, group discussions, vocabulary lists, and technology-based tools. Despite its benefits in enhancing students' English skills and mathematical understanding, the program encounters challenges including students’ difficulty in understanding English terms and lack of speaking confidence. Overall, bilingual education at SMP Aqobah International School fosters a supportive and globally oriented learning environment. The study highlights the importance of teacher training and appropriate instructional materials to optimize the bilingual learning process.

Abstract

The research aims to investigate the types and reasons for code-switching among EFL students during classroom interactions. Utilizing a descriptive qualitative methodology, the study analyzed classroom interactions among eleven fifth-semester students that had been selected using purposive sampling method at a Private University in Jember. Data collection tools for this research included observation and interview. After being collected, the data then were analyzed by using the framework of Miles and Huberman (1994). The study revealed three types of code-switching: tag switching, intra-sentential switching, and inter-sentential switching. The primary reasons for code-switching included enhancing mutual understanding, ensuring effective communication, expressing emotions and opinions accurately, navigating linguistic identities, and showing respect and solidarity. The findings reveal distinct patterns of code-switching among participants: tag-switching involves inserting tags at the end of an utterance; intra-sentential switching occurs within a sentence, at its beginning, middle, or end; and inter-sentential switching involves switching languages between sentences. There are several reasons why students engage in code-switching. These include difficulties in using English fluently, switching languages out of respect and to show solidarity as students, and to better express their emotions and opinions. Future studies should consider larger and more diverse samples, multiple institutions, and a balanced exploration of both positive and negative aspects of code switching in academic settings.

Abstract

In the modern healthcare environment, nurses must be proficient in both spoken and written English to achieve better career prospects and ensure successful participation in continuing professional development. However, teaching English to nursing students in Indonesia has presented significant challenges like low motivation, lack of exposure, and lack of confidence in communication. The current research aims to students’ experiences and perceptions regarding the implementation of mobile-assisted project-based learning using Plotagon digital animation app. The phenomenological research was carried out in a Nursing Department in March-April 2025, involving fifteen students. The data were obtained through in-depth interview and analyzed by using data analysis spiral. The results indicated that the students perceived mobile-assisted project-based learning using Plotagon can encourage interactive and enjoyable learning, develop their language skills, facilitate creativity and critical thinking, promote group collaboration & engagement, and provide accessibility & flexibility. However, they also noticed possible improvement in terms of project implementation such as limited time to do the project and required reflection or discussion session once the project completed. By refining these aspects, Plotagon-based learning can further maximize student engagement, language proficiency, and creativity in English education.

Abstract

It is often heard that English-language songs and films can improve students' English language skills. Many people suspect that when they see people who have good English skills, that person must have a hobby of listening to songs and watching films in English. This assumption is not entirely true, because someone who has good English skills might have other factors why he could speak English well. On the other hand, the statement is also not entirely wrong, many people who can speak English well claim to often hear songs and watch movies in English. But more than that, regardless of how or how to obtain English, the most important factor is the motivation and passion of everyone who wants to acquire English.

Abstract

It is often assumed that intellect is the most important element in determining whether or not a person would be successful in learning a second language. When compared to someone with a moderate IQ, someone with a high IQ learns a second language faster. However, this is not always the case. In my perspective, not every person with a high IQ finds it difficult to learn a second language. Other research discovered other factors that influence someone's performance in learning a second language. This demonstrates how various things impact someone's decision to learn a second language. The most significant variables in learning a second language are social variables. As a result, if they have medium intellect, learning a second language is not an issue. If they acquire a second language in a supportive atmosphere, they will be able to master the second language. As a result, selecting a decent social context in which to learn a second language is the most efficient approach to master it.

Abstract

The movie 7 Hati 7 Cinta 7 Wanita directed by Robby Ertanto that presents a representation of seven women in the Indonesian context through certain signs, concepts, thoughts, and language. This representation can be in the form of a depiction of physical or psychological violence, subordination, workload, power, or women's reproductive rights. The research method used Roland Barthes' semiotic analysis model and constructivist paradigm approach. Barthes' theory represents two ideological signs that he put forward, namely the denotative sign system or the connotative sign system: A denotative sign, which is a more rigorous descriptive system than the connotative sign it has described, is the result of the existing signifier image and the signified concept. for example vegetables and milk are markers and healthy and strong are markers. Whereas A connotative sign is a sign that experiences a shift in its historical meaning due to a change in meaning. It can be influenced by a change in culture or terminology, an event that occurs in a situation, or even just an evolution.The results of this study indicate that in the movie7 Hati 7 Cinta 7 Wanita contains at least three points of findings: (1) aspects of female domestication and gender politics, which encourage women to be placed in traditional positions as housewives, (2) aspects of segregation, namely placing women in a weak position in relation to men, (3) many women experience the reality that places them in subordinate positions.
