Abstract

This study examines the representation of moral values in the Anthology of Short Stories Senyum Karyamin by Ahmad Tohari and its relevance in literary learning in high school. Through a qualitative-descriptive research method with content analysis techniques, the researcher found four main categories of moral values, namely values related to God, self, the social environment, and nature, with a strong dominance in social aspects. This tendency shows the author's ideological intention in framing social reality morally. The results of the study show that these values are relevant for the formation of students' character, especially in the aspects of spirituality, personal responsibility, interpersonal communication, and environmental concern. Therefore, this anthology is worthy of being used as a teaching resource in strengthening value-based literary literacy in grade XI of high school.

Abstract

Language plays a crucial role in shaping public perception, especially in news reporting. This study examines how grammatical constructions are used to frame perpetrators of violence against women and children in Indonesian social media news. Using Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA), it focuses on four types of sentence structures—active voice, passive voice, nominalization, and subordinate clauses—to uncover how language influences the representation of agency and accountability. A total of 15 news articles published between 2023 and 2024 from seven online media outlets (Detik.com, BBC.com, Kompas.com, Liputan6.com, Sumbar.Suara.com, Kompas.com, and Andika TV) were analyzed qualitatively. The results show that passive constructions dominate, followed by active voice, subordinate clauses, and nominalization. Active sentences highlight perpetrators and institutional actions, while passive and nominalized constructions often obscure agency and shift attention toward victims or events. Subordinate clauses emphasize victims’ experiences, evoking empathy but weakening perceptions of offender responsibility. These linguistic patterns reveal how news discourse can influence emotional and moral judgments about gender-based violence. The findings emphasize the need for journalists to adopt clear, active, and ethical language use and for media educators to integrate discourse awareness into journalism training to promote responsible and balanced reporting.

Abstract

The application of the teacher's interaction style by arranging speech with directive speech is a superior ability in Indonesian language learning.  This is because teachers are required to implement Indonesian learning that can develop critical, creative, communicative, and collaborative characters in students. Therefore, this study aims to describe speech switching through how to take over the turn of speech and provide a turn of speech with directive speech as a form of applying the teacher's interaction style in Indonesian learning to increase students' active participation in developing critical, creative, communicative, and collaborative skills. The approach used in this study is the classroom discourse approach. This class discourse approach directs analysis on data obtained from formal and planned conversation interactions (plan discourse). The focus of this conversation interaction lies with the teacher, as the determinant of the topic of conversation. The three main things appear in this Indonesian learning research in the form of: (1) students give honest responses to learning stimulants provided by teachers, (2) students submit more opinions on the information conveyed by the teacher or on the opinions submitted by other students, provide more information, (3) students make their own learning conclusions in their own language and way,  Both individually and in groups, (4) students make optimal use of their activities, respond to learning stimuli provided by teachers, (5) students who ask questions, both to teachers and to other students, and (6) students make their own assessments of the results of their work.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the verbal creativity of student practitioners in the Microteaching course. The aspects discussed include verbal creativity based on the categories of flexibility, fluency, originality, and elaboration. Each category is described based on the level of scores (high or low) and the corresponding forms. The results of this study show that: (a) the level of fluency of students in generating many ideas is highest in word production. The forms of word production in the fluency category, based on the most frequently produced word classes, are nouns. Based on word meaning, most students tend to produce denotative meanings. This reflects a tendency to use words in their general or literal sense. (b) the level of flexibility of microteaching student practitioners is high. In terms of form, student practitioners demonstrate high flexibility in sentence form and sentence use, but lower in sentence length, imagination, and fantasy. (c) the level of originality of microteaching student practitioners is high. The forms of students’ verbal creativity originality include five aspects: originality in theme, original solution or ending, humorous elements in sentences, the use of self-created words or names, and the originality of the respondent’s writing style. (d) the level of elaboration of student practitioners is high. Meanwhile, the forms of elaboration include four aspects: aesthetic quality, emotional content, empathy, and personal elements, while the elements of direct narrative sentence conversation and the use of quotations are not fulfilled.

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 natural phenomena on the development of lemma and meaning in the variety of languages used by adolescents on social media. Research design was done naturally through the process of observation, taking notes, and writing down the case. The qualitative research appears in the development of the entry which is easily found as a definite phenomenon of linguistic development. The data collection method was carried out by tracing data on the use of various languages on social media. To analyze the data, the researcher uses padan and agih methods. This method is to test the accuracy of classification on the types of language used by adolescents in social media in the development of the entry and or the development of the meaning of the entry. The results showed that the variety of languages on social media is very dynamic, developing, arbitrary, but conventional. The variety of languages indicates the development of new lemmas, acronyms, and walikan. The development of meaning is marked along with the development of the entry in the form of synonyms and the use of the Indonesian language entry in the form of a polysemic. Based on the results of this study, adolescents can be considered a productive period in exploring the language, through direct interaction or social media. Becoming actively productive in language exploration led to a potential for concepting a new lemma and a new meaning according to the context of language use. In addition, this development becomes one proof of the self-existence of adolescence, community characteristics, and also the need for the development of Indonesian vocabulary.
