Abstract

Teaching English as a Foreign Language (EFL) in Indonesia faces various challenges that affect learning effectiveness and student achievement. This article explores major issues related to students, teachers, instructional practices, technology, sociocultural factors, and educational policies. Many students experience difficulties due to limited exposure to English, low motivation, language anxiety, and differing proficiency levels. Teacher-related challenges include limited professional competence, large class sizes, and the continued use of traditional teaching methods. The development of educational technology, particularly Artificial Intelligence (AI), offers opportunities to enhance language learning, although unequal access, limited digital literacy, and academic integrity issues remain concerns. Sociocultural barriers, such as fear of making mistakes and lack of confidence, also reduce student participation in communicative activities. Addressing these challenges requires collaboration among teachers, institutions, policymakers, and learners through professional development, improved resources, student-centered learning, and responsible technology integration to strengthen English language education in Indonesia.

Abstract

Language functions not only as a medium of communication but also as a cognitive mechanism shaping thought, behavior, and problem-solving abilities. In Indonesian secondary schools, students are often exposed to negative linguistic environments characterized by verbal bullying, authoritarian classroom discourse, and discouraging communication, potentially affecting their self-concept and creative thinking. This study investigates the linguistic structures and hypnolinguistic mechanisms of Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) discourse in shaping students' speech and Design Thinking skills. A qualitative interdisciplinary case study with embedded pre- and post-intervention comparisons was conducted over 16 weeks at SMA Islam Plus Adzkia, West Java. Participants included 30 students purposively selected based on high exposure to verbal trauma and eight educators. Data were collected through classroom observations, audio-recorded interactions, discourse transcriptions, self-talk protocols, Design Thinking project assessments, and observations of neurolinguistic communication markers. Data analysis integrated Critical Discourse Analysis, Transformational-Generative Syntax, cognitive semantics, and speech act theory. Findings indicate that NLP-based discourse intervention transformed classroom communication by reducing directive and authoritarian expressions while increasing presuppositional, sensory-based, and supportive linguistic patterns. Students demonstrated reduced self-deprecating language and increased expressions of agency, confidence, and figurative language use. Improvements were also observed in speech fluency, communication confidence, and linguistic competence. Design Thinking performance improved across all dimensions, particularly during ideation, suggesting that constructive linguistic environments facilitate creative problem-solving and innovation. Correlation analysis revealed a strong positive relationship between linguistic transformation and Design Thinking performance, indicating that supportive discourse promotes cognitive and communicative development. These findings underscore the value of integrating NLP-informed communication strategies into classroom practice to strengthen students' linguistic confidence, higher-order thinking skills, and innovative pedagogy.

Abstract

English medical vocabulary is essential for supporting midwifery students’ academic learning and future professional communication in healthcare settings. However, many students still face difficulties understanding medical terminology because of its specialized nature and limited exposure in language learning contexts. This study aimed to analyze midwifery students’ mastery and difficulties in understanding English medical vocabulary at STIKES Amanah Makassar. A descriptive qualitative design was employed involving ten second-semester Midwifery students enrolled in the English for Midwifery course. Data were collected through a vocabulary task and semi-structured interviews, then analyzed using an interactive qualitative data analysis model. The findings showed varying levels of vocabulary mastery. Five participants demonstrated good mastery, while the others showed average or limited understanding. Students generally understood common medical vocabulary but had difficulty comprehending specialized terms. The main challenges included unfamiliar terminology, pronunciation problems, difficulty remembering vocabulary, and limited exposure to English medical terms. The study concludes that vocabulary mastery is influenced by students’ familiarity with medical terminology and opportunities for contextualized learning. Therefore, integrating discipline-specific vocabulary instruction and pronunciation practice into English for Midwifery courses is necessary to improve students’ understanding and communication competence.

Abstract

This study examines the representation of social inequality and class dynamics in the second season of the Netflix animated series Arcane: League of Legends. While previous research has focused on semiotic signs or isolated character dynamics in Season 1, this study explores how structural class conflict operates across the narrative climax of Season 2. Employing a qualitative textual analysis grounded in Karl Marx’s critical framework, the research analyzes specific visual, spatial, and dialogic data across all nine episodes (370 minutes). The findings reveal that the bourgeoisie is represented not only by Piltover’s governing elite, who monopolize technological production (Hextech) and institutional power, but also by Zaun’s Chem-Barons, who function as an extralegal local bourgeoisie exploiting forced child labor. Conversely, the proletariat is embodied by Zaun’s working class, whose material deprivation, addiction, and lack of political autonomy reflect structural alienation. Furthermore, the socio-spatial disparity between Piltover’s refined infrastructure and Zaun’s environmental degradation illustrates how systemic inequality offloads material risks onto marginalized populations. Ultimately, this study demonstrates that Arcane Season 2 presents social inequality not as a series of isolated misfortunes, but as an institutionalized system maintained through state apparatuses, ideological dehumanization, and resource monopoly.
