Abstract

This study investigates Indonesian pre-service teachers’ acceptance of Grammarly as an Automated Writing Evaluation (AWE) tool in academic writing. Despite the increasing integration of AWE technologies in higher education, limited research has examined how Indonesian EFL pre-service teachers perceive and accept such tools in academic writing. Employing a qualitative case study design, this study involved two female pre-service EFL teachers who had prior experience using Grammarly in academic writing courses. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and analyzed using thematic analysis informed by the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). The findings indicate that Grammarly is generally perceived as a useful and accessible tool that supports grammatical accuracy and enhances students’ confidence in academic writing. Participants also reported that Grammarly provides immediate feedback that facilitates the revision process and raises awareness of language use. However, concerns emerged regarding the reliability of automated feedback and the potential risk of over-reliance on the system. The study highlights both the opportunities and limitations of integrating AWE tools in EFL writing instruction and suggests that Grammarly should be used as a supportive resource rather than a replacement for teacher feedback.

Abstract

This study examines the representation of patriarchy and toxic relationships in the film Enough (2002) and its relevance to the condition of women in Indonesia. The research aims to analyze the representation of patriarchy, examine the portrayal of toxic and abusive relationships and the female protagonist’s responses to oppression, and explore their relevance to Indonesian women’s experiences. This study employs a descriptive qualitative method, using dialogues and scenes from the film as primary data. The data are analyzed using bell hooks’ (2000) theory of patriarchy, supported by Walby’s (1990) framework of patriarchal structures and Almassi’s (2022) dominator model of masculinity. The findings show that patriarchy is represented through sexuality and culture, the household, violence, and the state, indicating systemic patterns of domination. The toxic relationship develops through betrayal, physical violence, psychological entrapment, and the female protagonist’s eventual reclamation of agency. These patterns are relevant to documented conditions in Indonesia, particularly the tendency to conceal domestic violence and limitations in institutional protection for victims. The study concludes that although Enough (2002) is set in an American context, its representation of patriarchal structures and abusive relationships reflects broader gender-based oppression that remains relevant to the experiences of women in Indonesia.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the characterization of the main and supporting characters in the film Aladdin (2019), directed by Guy Ritchie. Characterization is one of the important aspects in a narrative work because it determines how the audience perceives and understands the personality, motivation, and development of each character throughout the story. This research focuses specifically on identifying the characteristics of the main character, Aladdin, and the supporting characters, such as Princess Jasmine, Genie, and Jafar. This study uses a descriptive qualitative method with a literary approach to characterization theory. The data were collected through close observation of dialogues, actions, and interactions among characters presented in the film, which were then classified based on direct and indirect characterization techniques. The direct method refers to explicit statements made by the narrator or other characters about a character's traits, while the indirect method is revealed through the character's speech, behavior, thoughts, and reactions to certain situations. The results of this study show that the main character, Aladdin, is portrayed as an honest, brave, and adaptable individual who experiences personal growth throughout the story. Meanwhile, the supporting characters play significant roles in strengthening the main character's development, each carrying distinct traits that contribute to the overall dynamics of the story.

Abstract

This study examines metaphorical expressions in Miley Cyrus’s song lyrics from the album The Endless Summer Vacation (2023), aiming to identify their forms and describe their meanings. The lyrics are analyzed using Lakoff and Johnson’s (1980) Conceptual Metaphor Theory, which classifies metaphors into structural, orientational, and ontological types. A descriptive qualitative method is employed, with observation and note-taking used to collect and classify the data. The results reveal twenty-six metaphorical expressions: fourteen ontological, seven orientational, and five structural metaphors, making ontological metaphors the most frequent type. Most expressions convey connotative meanings associated with Cyrus’s personal experiences of love, heartbreak, self-reliance, and grief. The findings suggest that songwriters employ metaphors both to enhance lyrical expressiveness and to conceptualize and communicate difficult emotional experiences through familiar, concrete images. Metaphors thus serve as expressive devices and ways of understanding emotions within the lyrics. This study contributes to the growing body of research applying Conceptual Metaphor Theory to contemporary song lyrics by examining the relationship between metaphorical forms and their emotional meanings.

Abstract

This research examines Maya Angelou's poem "Phenomenal Woman" (1978), analyzing the self-confidence it represents, the role of defying beauty pressure as the mechanism constructing that confidence, and the feminist framework explaining both. Using a qualitative descriptive method with a feminist literary criticism approach, the study draws on Bell Hooks' “Feminist Theory: From Margin to Center” (1984) as the grand theory, Naomi Wolf's “The Beauty Myth” (1991) as the first supporting theory, and Albert Bandura's “Self-Efficacy: The Exercise of Control” (1997) as the second. Data consist of words, phrases, lines, and stanzas directly relevant to the research focus. The findings reveal three interconnected results. First, self-confidence is not innate but a dynamic achievement, built stanza by stanza through repeated self-affirmation, especially the recurring refrain "I'm a woman / Phenomenally... That's me." Second, beauty pressure appears through the speaker's acknowledgment of narrow societal standards, social skepticism toward women who resist them, and the objectifying male gaze all named and refused, replaced by a self-authored vocabulary of worth. Third, the feminist approach shows these elements form one trajectory: from marginalization by beauty pressure, through self-definition as resistance, to a stable, self-authored identity. The poem thus enacts the full feminist arc from imposed beauty pressure to its dismantling, showing literary creation and feminist liberation as inseparable.

Abstract

Social media has become an important source of neuroscience-related information for Generation Z, but the circulation of unsupported claims and neuromyths raises concerns about how students interpret and evaluate such content. This study explores selected aspects of neuroscience literacy among Gen Z university students from various academic disciplines and universities, focusing on their exposure to neuroscience-related information, recognition of selected claims, and self-reported evaluation practices. A descriptive approach combining quantitative and qualitative questionnaire data was employed. Data were collected through a 20-item online questionnaire completed by 30 respondents aged 18–25. Quantitative responses were analyzed using frequencies and percentages, while open-ended responses were examined thematically. The findings show that 66.7% of respondents encountered neuroscience-related content often or very often, with brain hacks and productivity tips being the most frequently encountered type of content (30%). The 10% brain myth was rejected by 80% of respondents, whereas only 10% rejected the learning-styles claim. Regarding information evaluation, 86.7% reported questioning claims that sounded too simple or too good to be true, while 73.3% reported checking sources, seeking scientific evidence, and comparing information from reliable sources. However, only 60% reported distinguishing scientific evidence from personal opinions. Overall, the findings reveal variations in respondents’ recognition of neuroscience-related misconceptions and reported evaluation practices. Due to the small purposively selected sample and reliance on self-reported data, the findings provide a descriptive account rather than a comprehensive measure of neuroscience literacy.

Abstract

Symbols play an important role in representing the identity, authority, values, and characteristics of law enforcement institutions. This study aims to identify and analyze the meanings of symbols used by the Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) and the Indonesian National Police (POLRI) based on Charles Sanders Peirce’s semiotic theory and to compare their similarities and differences. This study employed a qualitative descriptive method with a comparative approach. Data were collected through documentation of official institutional symbols and analyzed using Peirce’s triadic model of representamen, object, and interpretant. The findings show that police symbols represent institutional identity, authority, professionalism, and organizational values. Similarities are found in their functions and institutional roles, while differences appear in their visual forms, meanings, historical backgrounds, cultural influences, and national identities. British police symbols reflect traditions associated with constitutional monarchy, whereas POLRI symbols reflect Pancasila, nationalism, and the principles of the Republic of Indonesia. The study concludes that police symbols convey meanings shaped by their visual forms as well as historical, cultural, social, and political contexts.

Abstract

The unequal power dynamics that structure intimate relationships are often naturalized rather than critically examined, particularly in biographical representations of public figures. Sofia Coppola’s film Priscilla (2023) renders such dynamics unusually visible through its depiction of the marriage between Elvis Presley and Priscilla Beaulieu. This study aims to identify the forms of gender regulation enacted by Elvis Presley over Priscilla Beaulieu and to examine how Judith Butler’s (1990) theory of gender performativity explains these mechanisms as a form of interpersonal control. Using a qualitative textual analysis method, primary data were collected through repeated viewing of the film and classified into five analytical categories derived from Butler’s framework: performativity and citationality, regulatory practices, the heterosexual matrix, compulsory performance, and subversion. The findings show that Elvis exercises control through five interconnected mechanisms: dictating Priscilla’s physical appearance, sanctioning her deviation from expected conduct, naturalizing his authority, compelling her to conceal her true feelings, and inadvertently producing the conditions for her eventual resistance. These mechanisms do not operate in isolation but interlock into a single system of gendered control, one that, within the same performative structure, also contains the conditions for disruption and transformation.

Abstract

Internet slang has become a common part of young people's everyday communication through social media and online messaging. Its rapid development has raised concerns about whether informal digital expressions are weakening standard language or instead becoming part of a new form of linguistic development. This study aims to explore how young people understand and experience the use of internet slang and how they perceive its relationship with language change. A qualitative approach using phenomenology is applied to understand the meanings attached to slang in participants' everyday digital communication. The planned participants are 10–15 university students aged 18–24 years who actively use social media and regularly encounter or use internet slang. Data are collected through semi-structured in-depth interviews and non-participant digital observation, then examined using thematic analysis. The findings are organized into three main themes: internet slang as a way of creating social belonging, slang as a form of self-expression and linguistic creativity, and the tension between language change and the preservation of formal language. The findings suggest that participants do not view slang in a completely positive or negative way. Instead, their perceptions depend on social relationships, communication contexts, and the purpose of language use. The study contributes to a sociolinguistic understanding of digital language by showing how language change is connected to identity, social interaction, and technology. Practically, the findings suggest that language education and digital literacy should emphasize contextual language use rather than treating internet slang simply as incorrect language, while further research can explore these changes across broader communities and over longer periods.

Abstract

Digital communication has transformed how people construct, convey, and interpret meaning, particularly through irony and sarcasm on social media and messaging applications. The absence of face-to-face cues, such as intonation, facial expressions, and gestures, complicates interpretation, demonstrating that meaning depends on context, intention, and shared knowledge. This study examines how digital communication users understand irony and sarcasm and how context shapes meaning in online interactions. A qualitative phenomenological approach was employed to explore participants’ experiences when encountering utterances whose literal meanings differ from the sender’s intentions. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with 15 active social media and messaging application users, complemented by document analysis of relevant digital interactions. The data were analyzed thematically. The findings revealed three main themes: dependence on interactional context, digital markers as substitutes for nonverbal cues, and shared knowledge and experience in distinguishing irony, sarcasm, and literal statements. Theoretically, these findings reinforce the pragmatic perspective that meaning emerges through language use within specific contexts. They also demonstrate how digital environments transform the function of contextual cues in interpreting messages. Practically, the findings highlight the importance of reflective digital communication literacy to reduce misunderstandings and improve awareness of intended meanings. This study contributes to understanding contemporary meaning-making practices and provides a basis for further research into how technological features, interpersonal relationships, and cultural backgrounds influence the interpretation of irony and sarcasm in digital communication.
