Abstract

This study explores how educators in Islamic and secular institutions in Indonesia differ in their beliefs and strategies for integrating Islamic values into English Language Teaching (ELT). Educators in Islamic schools, pesantren, and Islamic universities show very strong confidence, viewing integration as both a religious duty and a pedagogical requirement. In contrast, teachers in secular schools and universities maintain moderately strong but cautious beliefs due to the demands of neutrality and inclusivity in multireligious classrooms. Implementation practices also diverge sharply. Islamic institutions apply explicit strategies—such as Qur’anic readings, hadith-based vocabulary lessons, ILRP materials, and prayer routines—leading to short-term increases in religious motivation and long-term reinforcement of Islamic identity. Secular institutions use more implicit or universal-value approaches, including honesty-based writing tasks, ethical discussions, and tolerance-related themes, which foster social–moral development and multicultural identity formation. These differences reflect deeper institutional orientations and offer important implications for inclusive ELT curriculum and teacher training.

Abstract

Power in the Wizarding World is never static; it seduces, coerces, and eventually collapses. This article examines the contrasting strategies of Lord Voldemort and Gellert Grindelwald in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 and 2 and Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald and The Secrets of Dumbledore through Michel Foucault’s framework of sovereign power, disciplinary power, biopower, governmentality, and resistance. Voldemort governs through terror and spectacle, enforcing obedience while fostering silent rebellion. Grindelwald, in contrast, wields ideology and charisma to secure loyalty, until coercion exposes the fragility of his control. As Foucault posits, power is relational and fluid, destined to provoke resistance. Beyond fantasy, these narratives reflect enduring truths about authority, its seductive nature, and its inevitable unravelling.

Abstract

This paper examines the semantic dimensions in Adele's song “My Little Love” through an analysis of the denotative and connotative meanings contained in the lyrics. The research aims to identify the types of meaning present and explore how these meanings represent emotional interpretations in musical works. The theoretical framework used is James Dickins' theory of connotative meaning to dissect the layers of meaning behind the lyrics. The results show that the song lyrics contain two main categories of meaning. First, the denotative meaning, which presents literal and explicit communication between Adele and her child. Second, connotative meaning, which consists of five subtypes: (1) affective meaning, which expresses deep emotions, (2) attitudinal meaning, which describes the singer's psychological position, (3) basic meaning, which refers to fundamental values, (4) illocutionary meaning that overrides locution, and (5) associative meaning that builds symbolic connections. The findings reveal that denotative meaning serves as the foundation of verbal communication, while connotative meaning presents emotional complexity that includes guilt, vulnerability, maternal love, and loneliness. The interaction between these two types of meaning collectively reflects Adele's personal experience of dealing with divorce and the challenges of being a single mother. This study contributes to the understanding of the use of figurative language in contemporary music and opens up opportunities for further semantic studies of other popular music works to enrich the linguistic discourse in the music industry.

Abstract

This study examines how Tempo Magazine constructs political reality through media framing in its Indonesia 2026 Special Edition. The purpose is to analyze Tempo's interpretation of political power, democratic conditions, and state-society relations during Indonesia's critical phase of political consolidation in early 2026. It positions journalism as an active producer of political meaning rather than a neutral reflection of events. The research employs qualitative framing analysis based on Pan and Kosicki's model, focusing on four textual dimensions: syntactic, script, thematic, and rhetorical structures. Data comprise six purposively selected political articles from the edition's Political Rubric, analyzed through systematic textual reading to identify dominant frames and narrative patterns. Findings reveal Tempo frames early 2026 Indonesia as a landscape of democratic tension, centralized power, and shrinking public criticism space. Evaluative headlines, causal scripting, thematic coherence, and charged rhetoric construct a narrative emphasizing democratic vulnerability and political accountability. This interpretive journalism positions Tempo as a critical watchdog, demonstrating the role of framing in shaping public perceptions of power during political transitions.

Abstract

Proverbs are paremiological units that express a people’s worldview, life experience, and moral values in a concise yet profound manner. Among these, proverbs devoted to the concept of “mind” occupy a special place. These proverbs reflect generalized conclusions about human cognitive activity, thinking patterns, behavioral models, and social positions. Proverbs representing the notion of “mind” hold a central position in the paremiological systems of many languages. By expressing collective wisdom briefly and compactly, they encode cultural attitudes toward intellect, reasoning, consciousness, memory, and judgment. This article examines proverbs on the theme of “mind” in terms of their semantic, lexical, syntactic, stylistic, pragmatic, and cognitive aspects. The study demonstrates that proverbs on the “mind” are not only moral and educational tools but also linguistically rich structures that reveal how societies conceptualize human cognition. The article analyzes the lexical, semantic, syntactic, and stylistic features of proverbs about “mind,” exploring their expressive potential and communicative functions.

Abstract

This study examines the id aspect of the major characters in Sindhunata’s novel Anak Bajang Menggiring Angin through the perspective of psychoanalytic literary studies. The purpose of this research is to reveal how instinctual drives influence the psychological dynamics, conflicts, and actions of the characters within the narrative. The study employs a descriptive qualitative method with a literary psychology approach. The data are derived from textual elements of the novel, including narration, dialogue, and character actions that indicate impulsive desires, emotional reactions, and instinctive behavior associated with the id. The analysis shows that the id appears in various forms such as desire, anger, aggression, ambition, and affective needs. Rahwana represents a dominant and destructive id, manifested through excessive ambition, lust for power, and uncontrolled impulses that lead to moral and social chaos. In contrast, Rama, Sinta, and Anoman demonstrate more restrained expressions of the id, where instinctual drives are moderated and transformed into ethical actions and moral strength. These differences highlight the role of the id as a fundamental psychological force that shapes character development and narrative tension. The findings indicate that the id functions not only as a source of destructive impulses but also as an essential element that drives human motivation and inner struggle. Through this portrayal, the novel reflects the complexity of human instincts and their influence on moral decision-making and character psychology.

Abstract

This study compares the morphological construction of verbs from adjectives in three typologically and genetically distinct languages: Bugis (Austronesian, spoken in South Sulawesi, Indonesia), Javanese (Austronesian, Central and East Java), and English. Using an interlingual and culturally informed approach, the study investigates 15 systematic adjective-verb pairings from different languages to find underlying derivational mechanisms, structural patterns, and the linguistic encoding of cultural values. The analysis shows unique morphological strategies: Bugis primarily uses verbalizing prefixes such as ma- and mam- often accompanied by phonological adjustments—demonstrating a tightly integrated system of affixation and reduplication; English relies heavily on zero derivation (conversion) and suffixation (e.g., -ize, -ify), reflecting its trend toward analyticity and syntactic flexibility; meanwhile, Javanese employs a complex system involving the prefix N- (with allomorphs like ng-, n-, m-) combined with the suf Crucially, the study shows that these morphological processes are not just grammatical, but also deeply embedded with cultural semantics—for example, the Bugis mappadeceng ("to act honestly") and Javanese ngresiki ("to cleanse inwardly") reflect ethical and communal values, implying that word formation serves as a linguistic vessel for cultural cognition. This study advances comparative linguistics by connecting Austronesian and Indo-European morphological typologies, enriches efforts in endangered language documentation (particularly for under-documented languages such as Bugis), and advances understanding of the language-culture interface in morphological derivation. The findings call for a more holistic approach to language research, in which structure and culture are studied together.

Abstract

This paper is a Socio-onomastic analysis of a church-naming content, posted on www. Legit.ng , an online forum where young Africans share contents of all kinds. The content consists of the signboards and programme flyers of some hypothetical churches in Nigeria. The naming component of these signposts and flyers serves as the data for this article, which is aimed at expounding the underlying discourse significance of the socially-constituted genre of religious discourse. Using the principles of Socio-onomastics and insights from Eco’s Textual Cooperation Theory and the notion of diegesis in Narratology, analysis of the data shows that the names in the signposts and flyers, though congruently fictional in form, are true narratives of the church naming practices amongst ‘commercial church owners’ in Nigeria. The paper concludes that although the church names fictionalized not directly reference specific real church names in Nigeria, they mirror certain societal values and ideologies of breakthrough in the country rather than merely serving as entertainment construction.

Abstract

This paper explores the linguistic strategies used by journalists in reporting murders implicating prominent personalities. Notably, it examines how these strategies are employed to construct the perpetrators’ identities, underscoring how journalists navigate the power dynamics inherent in such stories while managing potential harm to themselves, the subjects involved, and the broader sociopolitical context. The critical role of language in shaping public discourse on justice is also examined. Utilizing ten purposively sampled headlines and leads from The Daily Nation and The Standard newspapers’ 2018 coverage of murders implicating prominent figures in Kenya, a qualitative investigation reveals how journalists negotiate power asymmetries and the implications of this navigation for both their safety and public perceptions of justice. Guided by Roger Fowler’s Critical Linguistics (1970), the findings indicate that journalists employ nominal references and transitivity choices differently, depending on the subject’s status and the media outlet. There’s a notable tendency for the Daily Nation to use both nominal references and transitivity to implicate suspects, thereby emphasizing accusation and implicitly reinforcing a narrative of guilt. Conversely, The Standard’s use of similar strategies tends to deflect blame, offering protection to suspects. These divergent patterns raise essential questions about media framing, power asymmetries in crime reporting, and highlight the need for policy and advocacy efforts to foster ethical and balanced journalism. Recommendations include investigating digital and audio media, as well as cases involving less powerful individuals, to deepen our understanding of how language mediates issues of justice and inequality across various platforms.
