Abstract

Translation studies face enduring challenges in conveying ecological themes across linguistic and cultural boundaries. This research explores how ecological dimensions in Andrea Hirata’s Laskar Pelangi (LP) are represented in its German translation, Die Regenbogentruppe (RBT). Grounded in Vinay and Darbelnet’s translation theory, the study examines key ecological elements -landscapes, flora, fauna, environmental degradation, and eco-cultural practices-and analyzes how translation strategies influence their portrayal. The research adopts a comparative and eco-critical approach, combining textual analysis with a focus on the sociocultural implications of translation choices. Findings reveal that procedures like equivalence, adaptation, borrowing, literal translation, and modulation predominantly align with target-language norms, reflecting a balance between cultural domestication and fidelity to the source text. This study not only sheds light on the translator's role in mediating ecological narratives but also contributes to discussions on how translated literature can foster cross-cultural ecological awareness. By emphasizing the interplay between translation strategies and ecological representation, this research underscores the potential of literary translation as a tool for global environmental advocacy, providing theoretical and practical insights for scholars and practitioners in translation studies and ecological linguistics. Pedagogically, the study highlights how translation practice and instruction can foster ecological literacy and global responsibility, encouraging learners to connect linguistic sensitivity with environmental ethics.

Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of contextual-based flashcard media in improving the ability to read and write Bima script among elementary school students in Rabakodo Village, Bima Regency. The background of this study departs from the condition that learning Bima script in schools is still very limited, generally only relying on textbooks without media variations, so that students are less motivated and not able to read their local script properly. The research used a descriptive quantitative approach with a simple one group pretest-posttest design. The research subjects were 35 students in grades IV, V, and VI who were purposively selected from two elementary schools in Rabakodo. The instruments used were Bima script comprehension test, observation sheet, and documentation. Data were analyzed using normality test, paired t test, and effect size calculation. The results showed a significant increase in students' ability after learning with flashcards. The average pretest score of 24.25 increased to 81.20 on the posttest with p < 0.001 and a very large effect size (Cohen's d = 5.32). In addition to the increase in test scores, students also showed enthusiasm, active engagement, and higher learning motivation. Thus, contextual-based flashcard media proved effective in improving literacy in Bima script while contributing to the preservation of local culture.

Abstract

This study reveals the use and negotiation of base alus (BA) and base jamaq (BJ) speech codes in the family, social, economic, and institutional spheres, and describes their sociopragmatic functions and the factors that influence their shifts. The method used was qualitative with an ethnographic approach to communication based on Dell Hymes' SPEAKING model. Data was collected through observation and interviews, analysed through reduction, presentation and conclusion drawing, and validated through triangulation and member checking. The results of the study found that BA persisted as a polite form of speech among the aristocracy in family and social circles. In the economic sphere, BJ–BA is chosen based on social status and closeness, while also regulating the "address of speech". In institutional settings, formal positions can transcend customary norms; the head of a jajar karang school is often addressed as BA, and interactions between teachers and the headmaster tend to use the BA form of address as a sign of respect. Among the younger generation, the use of BA has declined due to the influence of Indonesian and popular language, but it remains prevalent among aristocratic families and institutions that uphold politeness. This study reinforces communication ethnography by positioning code selection as a negotiation of relational power. The uniqueness of this study lies in its cross-domain mapping that links traditional hierarchy and professional hierarchy in the practice of speaking the Sasak language.

Abstract

This study examines the linguistic and psychological dynamics of hate speech in Indonesian political discourse on YouTube by analyzing user comments on a CNN Indonesia talk show discussing Gibran Rakabuming Raka. Using a qualitative approach grounded in appraisal-based discourse analysis, the study analyzes 1,534 comments to explore how evaluative language constructs moral conflict in online political communication. The findings reveal that hate speech is predominantly expressed through negative judgment, which accounts for 45% of the data, followed by contractive engagement strategies that restrict dialogue (44%) and intensified graduation that amplifies emotional force (12%). These linguistic patterns indicate that political disagreement is frequently framed as moral condemnation rather than rational debate. The study further demonstrates that such evaluative strategies are closely linked to psychological processes, including moral conviction, group identity signaling, and emotional contagion, which collectively intensify polarization in digital spaces. By integrating linguistic analysis with psychological perspectives, this research highlights hate speech as a form of moralized discourse that escalates affective conflict. The study concludes by recommending digital literacy interventions that extend beyond content moderation to address underlying evaluative and emotional processes, with the aim of fostering empathy, critical reflection, and more constructive online political engagement.

Abstract

Intensive reading and listening skills are things that need to be optimized for students of the Indonesian Language Education Study Program at UIN Kediri. This is because the profile of graduates of this study program, one of which is to become novice educators in the field of Indonesian. This study aims to describe (1) the dominance of micro skills in understanding academic discourse, (2) the limitations of macro-level meaning in intensive reading and listening, and (3) the reconstruction of micro-macro relationships in language learning theory. The method in this study uses a mixed research method that combines qualitative and quantitative methods. This study uses a Concurrent Design model. The results of the study show that of the six indicators of intensive reading skills, there is one indicator that needs to be improved, namely the ability to find the main idea. Meanwhile, the other five indicators have met the effectiveness aspect. As for the four indicators of intensive listening skills, there are two indicators that need to be improved, namely inferential listening and reorganization. Learning innovations as an implication of these findings, among others, can be carried out through the use of gradual scaffolding, development of question banks, combining bottom-up and top-down strategies, paraphrasing activities, identifying keywords, utilizing HOTS questions, and other innovative exercises.

Abstract

The urgency of this study is aligned with the fourth goal of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) and the fourth mission of Asta Cita Indonesia, which emphasize inclusive and equitable quality education. This study aims to: (1) describe the role of the special assistant teacher (SET) in differentiated learning for dysgraphic students in Indonesian language subjects; (2) explain the function of SET in implementing differentiated learning; and (3) analyze the collaboration between the Indonesian language teacher and SET in supporting dysgraphic students’ learning development. This qualitative study employed participatory observation in class 11 Social Studies at Al-Firdaus High School, Surakarta. Data were collected through classroom observation and interviews with the SET, the Indonesian language teacher, and dysgraphic students. Using scaffolding theory within the zone of proximal development (ZPD) as the analytical framework, the findings show that: (1) SET acts as a “more capable peer” by providing individual mentoring and simplifying instructions to enhance comprehension; (2) SET functions to maintain students’ focus, reduce task complexity, and provide guided examples tailored to students’ needs; and (3) effective collaboration includes joint planning, material and assessment adjustments, and coordinated assistance during learning. The study concludes that scaffolding within the ZPD supports dysgraphic students’ participation and that structured collaboration between SET and subject teachers strengthens inclusive differentiated learning practices.

Abstract

Conventional news text instruction often neglects oral communicative competence, prioritizing written analysis over speaking performance. This study investigates the effectiveness of integrating Project-Based Learning (PjBL) with authentic news video production to enhance seventh-grade students' speaking skills within the Merdeka Curriculum. Employing a qualitative case study design, data were collected through methodological triangulation comprising limited participatory observation, semi-structured in-depth interviews, supportive questionnaires, and documentary analysis of student scripts and video products within a coastal-region SMP. Analysis followed Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña's interactive model through iterative cycles of data reduction, display, and conclusion verification. Findings revealed that 70 percent of students demonstrated enhanced comprehension of news text structure through functional internalization of 5W+1H elements and the inverted pyramid principle during rigorous scriptwriting. Learning motivation increased by 65 percent, attributed to the authentic experience of "becoming real reporters" that conferred social meaning upon academic tasks. Findings indicate that transforming video from passive input to active speaking output significantly improved students' fluency, confidence, and paralinguistic awareness through the 'authentic audience effect.' However, critical analysis reveals that high-stakes performance exacerbated speaking anxiety for marginal learners, necessitating differentiated scaffolding. The study concludes that authentic video production fosters 'performative multiliteracies,' shifting literacy from consumption to embodied public performance. These insights offer educators a critical framework for designing equitable speaking interventions that balance technological innovation with psychological safety.
