Abstract

This study aims to compare the use of swear words in Balinese and Singaporean languages based on the references employed. This study applied a qualitative approach with a document study method, where data were obtained from relevant previous studies. The data were analyzed by classifying swear words into ten reference categories based on the framework of Malo and Adindarena (2021), which includes social conditions, concrete objects, abstract concepts, religion or supernatural beings, sexual organs or activities, body excretions, body parts, animals, actions, and professions. The results show that both languages have similarities in the use of universal references, such as social conditions and abstract concepts, to express negative evaluations and emotions. However, Balinese swear words show a wider variety of references through the presence of religious or supernatural, animals, concrete objects, and professions, which are not found in the Singaporean language. This difference reflects the influence of cultural values and social context on the selection of references in cross-cultural swear words. Also, this study contributes to sociolinguistics and discourse analysis by demonstrating that swear words can be systematically categorized through reference types.

Abstract

The increasing popularity of Korean culture (Hallyu) over time has also influenced the increased exposure of Hallyu, such as Korean dramas, music, films, and language to Hallyu fans, especially fans who are non-native Korean speakers. One of the exposures of Korean language elements is swear words through media and online interactions, so that some fans also use these words, some even use them without knowing their meaning. This study aims to find out Hallyu fans’ perception of the use of Korean swear words and what factors influence them to use these words. This study is a qualitative study. Data collection was carried out by conducting semi-structured interviews using Indonesian with Hallyu fans who have different characteristics, backgrounds, and Korean proficiencies. The results of the interviews were converted into transcripts then translated into English. The collected data were analyzed using the thematic analysis method which has six stages, namely familiarization, generating codes, searching for themes, reviewing themes, defining and naming the themes, and report. The results of the study show that Hallyu fans' perceptions of Korean swear words are relative, depending on the context. The factors that influence the use of swear words are Korean content and the social environment. In addition, this study can help learners avoid misuse and develop more appropriate pragmatic competence in real-life communication.

Abstract

The objective of this research is to compare the references used in swear words in Balinese and Australian. Swear words are linguistically and culturally significant because they reflect social norms, beliefs, and emotional expression within a speech community. This research employed a comparative descriptive qualitative design using primary and secondary data. Primary data were obtained through semi-structured interviews with native Balinese speakers and native Australian English speakers, while secondary data were collected from relevant studies and academic documents. The data were analyzed through inductive categorization based on reference types in sociolinguistic studies of taboo language. The findings show that both languages share common reference domains, including religion/ supernatural being, sex, excrement, animals, personal background, mental illness, and sexual activity. However, Balinese swear words emphasize animal references, supernatural being, and social hierarchy, whereas Australian English swear words more frequently involve sexual references and personal insults used flexibly in informal contexts. These differences reflect distinct sociocultural values and potential sources of cross-cultural misunderstanding. For the implication of this study is the importance of understanding these similarities and differences for preventing cross-cultural misunderstanding and for promoting effective intercultural communication, particularly between speakers of Balinese and Australian English.

Abstract

This study aimed to improve the speaking skills of eighth-grade students at MTs Bani Salim through the implementation of the Rotating Story technique. The research was conducted using a Classroom Action Research (CAR) design consisting of two cycles, each involving planning, action, observation, and reflection stages. The participants were eighth-grade students in the 2024/2025 academic year. Data were collected through speaking tests, classroom observations, field notes, and documentation. The students’ speaking performance was assessed based on four aspects: fluency, vocabulary, pronunciation, and grammar. The results showed a significant improvement in students’ speaking ability after the implementation of the Rotating Story technique. The overall average score increased from 2.45 in Cycle 1 to 3.57 in Cycle 2. Improvements were observed across all speaking aspects, with pronunciation and vocabulary showing the most notable gains. In addition to quantitative improvement, qualitative findings indicated that students became more active, confident, and engaged in speaking activities. They were able to produce more spontaneous speech, develop ideas more coherently, and interact more effectively with their peers. The findings suggest that the Rotating Story technique provides meaningful opportunities for students to practice speaking in a collaborative and low-anxiety environment. This technique encourages active participation, supports vocabulary development, and enhances students’ confidence in oral communication. Therefore, it can be considered an effective and practical alternative strategy for teaching speaking in EFL classrooms, particularly at the junior high school level.

Abstract

Effective English and safe communication are crucial within the aviation industry. This study aims to explore English instructors’ perceptions and practices regarding the integrative skills approach in teaching English to Lion Group staff in the field of Aircraft Maintenance Engineering. Adopting a qualitative case study design, the research involved three instructors who were purposively selected for their reported implementation of the integrative skills approach in their teaching. Data were collected through interviews, classroom observations, and documentation, then analysed using thematic analysis. The findings reveal that the instructors hold positive perceptions of the integrative skills approach, believing that it effectively enhances learners’ English proficiency. They emphasised that the approach increases student engagement and motivation and provides a more holistic learning experience. However, the instructors also noted that its success largely depends on teachers’ preparedness and students’ readiness. In practice, they implemented structured pedagogical frameworks, such as the six-stage model (lead-in, meaning-focused input, language-focused learning, meaning-focused output, feedback and assessment, and follow-up activities), employed authentic materials, and incorporated reflective learning components. In conclusion, the integrative skills approach is perceived as an effective method for developing English proficiency and communicative competence in aviation contexts for Aircraft Maintenance Engineering.

Abstract

This study aimed to improve students’ reading performance and learning engagement through deep learning-based activities in English classes. The study employed Classroom Action Research (CAR), which was conducted in two cycles consisting of planning, action, observation, and reflection. The participants were 27 tenth-grade students of SMAS Taman Siswa Teluk Betung in the 2025/2026 academic year. Data were collected through reading tests and classroom observations. The results showed positive changes across the two cycles. In Cycle 1, 6 students (22%) achieved the Minimum Completeness Criteria (MCC), while 21 students (78%) were below the criterion. The observation results showed that students’ learning activity was categorised as less active. In Cycle 2, the number of students who achieved the MCC increased to 19 students (70%), while 8 students (30%) remained below the criterion, with the students were categorised as active and very active. In other words, the strategy resulted in positive changes in the teaching and learning process, as students showed greater engagement in analysing texts, interpreting information, and connecting reading materials to real-life contexts.

Abstract

Educational evaluation has become a central instrument in contemporary educational reform, yet its effectiveness remains uneven across countries despite increasing investments in assessment systems and accountability mechanisms. This study examines educational evaluation systems in Singapore, Finland, Japan, England, Australia, the United States, and Germany from the perspective of educational policy evaluation. Using a qualitative comparative approach based on a Systematic Literature Review (SLR), the study synthesized 34 selected studies and policy documents through the analytical framework of Policy Coherence (PC), System Capacity (SC), and Implementation Fidelity (IF). The findings reveal four distinct educational evaluation typologies: High-Alignment Systems, Trust-Based Adaptive Systems, Accountability-Driven Systems, and Coordinated/Fragmented Hybrid Systems. The analysis demonstrates that educational evaluation effectiveness is not primarily determined by the sophistication of assessment instruments but by the degree of alignment among policy objectives, institutional capacities, and implementation processes. Based on these findings, the study develops the Systemic Alignment Framework and proposes the concept of Systemic Alignment Reform as a new perspective for understanding educational evaluation effectiveness. The study contributes to comparative educational policy scholarship by integrating policy coherence, system capacity, and implementation fidelity into a unified explanatory framework and offers policy insights for strengthening sustainable educational reform across diverse governance contexts.
