Abstract

Expository learning is a teaching strategy that emphasizes direct, systematic, and structured delivery of content from teacher to students. Although it is considered efficient in conveying factual and procedural knowledge, its effectiveness in supporting 21st-century learning demanding active participation and critical thinking is still debated. This study aims to critically examine the effectiveness of expository learning through a literature review of national journals published between 2017 and 2025. The method used is library research with a descriptive-qualitative approach and content analysis technique. The findings reveal that expository learning is effective across educational levels for conceptual material, but its weakness lies in limited student engagement. Supporting factors such as teacher competence, instructional media, and student readiness significantly influence its success. This study also finds that expository learning remains relevant when combined with interactive methods such as discussions and projects. Practically, teachers are encouraged to design more adaptive expository learning to maintain its effectiveness in today’s educational context.

Abstract

This research discusses the comparison of Mandarin curriculum in six ASEAN member countries, namely Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam and the Philippines. Mandarin is increasingly considered strategic in the ASEAN region as economic, educational and cultural ties with China increase. However, teaching approaches and curriculum policies in each country show significant variations. This research uses the literature review method to analyze the policies, curriculum structure, teaching methods, and challenges faced in each country. The results show that Singapore and Malaysia have the most structured and responsive approaches, while countries such as Indonesia and the Philippines still face various barriers in the provision of learning infrastructure and teaching staff. This study recommends the importance of regional collaboration in the development of curriculum standards, teacher training, and the development of contextualized teaching materials so that the quality of Chinese language learning in the ASEAN region can be improved equally.

Abstract

This study investigates the forms and functions of language registers across diverse social contexts, including traditional markets, professional communities, digital media, and podcasts, through a literature review of ten scholarly articles published in accredited journals between 2021 and 2025. Employing a descriptive qualitative approach, the data were analyzed to identify linguistic variations that reflect specific social contexts, situations, and communicative purposes, aligned with Halliday’s (1978) concept of register, which emphasizes language adaptation to social contexts. The findings indicate that register forms encompass specific words, phrases, abbreviations, acronyms, and reduplications. Their communicative functions include instrumental, interactional, representational, and regulative roles, which enhance communication efficiency and preserve cultural identity. This study provides insights for researchers, educators, and practitioners to leverage registers in contextual communication.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the representation of national values and friendship in the film Sekawan Limo using Roland Barthes’ semiotic approach. The film was selected because it combines horror elements with strong local cultural nuances, making it interesting to examine from the perspectives of visual communication, culture, and social values. The research employed a descriptive qualitative method, with primary data drawn from scenes, dialogues, visual symbols, and narratives within the film. The analysis was conducted through Barthes’ three levels of semiotics: denotation, connotation, and myth. At the denotative level, the film presents visual and verbal signs depicting character interactions and the cultural background of society. At the connotative level, these signs convey deeper meanings related to national values, such as respect for local culture, the importance of unity, and love for the homeland. Meanwhile, friendship values are reflected through solidarity, empathy, mutual support, and sacrifice among the main characters as they face conflicts together. At the myth level, the film illustrates how popular culture can serve as a medium for delivering moral and ideological messages, particularly the importance of preserving national identity while fostering strong bonds of friendship. The findings highlight that local films function not only as entertainment but also as an effective communication medium to convey national and social values to a broader audience. Thus, Sekawan Limo demonstrates that film plays a strategic role in strengthening cultural awareness while instilling moral values.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze and identify the use of language styles in the song "Kuyamu to Kaite Mirai." Language style refers to the technique of utilizing the richness of language, both in written works and oral communication, to create deeper aesthetic and communicative effects. In song lyrics, the use of language style becomes a crucial element that can strengthen the meaning and artistic appeal of a literary work. This research employs Gorys Keraf's language style theory as the theoretical foundation for classifying and identifying language styles. The study utilizes a descriptive qualitative research method with primary data sources consisting of the lyrics of "Kuyamu to Kaite Mirai." The qualitative approach was chosen to enable in-depth analysis of figurative language usage within the song lyrics. The research findings reveal the presence of five types of language styles employed in the lyrics of "Kuyamu to Kaite Mirai." The identified language styles include asyndeton, assonance, erotesis, metaphor, and simile. Asyndeton was found in the use of word sequences without conjunctions to create dramatic effects. Assonance was identified through the repetition of vowel sounds that create sound harmony. The esoteric figurative language style emerges in the use of the particle の at the end of sentences, indicating that this verse constitutes an interrogative sentence. Metaphors and similes are employed to create comparisons that strengthen the song's emotional meaning. The utilization of language styles in the lyrics of "Kuyamu to Kaite Mirai" functions not merely as aesthetic ornamentation, but also as a means to convey messages and emotions more effectively to listeners. This research is expected to contribute to the understanding of language style usage in popular music works and serve as a reference for similar studies in the future.
