Abstract

This study aims to analyze the implementation of a differentiation-based Indonesian language teaching module to strengthen the critical thinking dimension of the Pancasila Student Profile within the framework of the Independent Curriculum. This research employed a qualitative approach using a case study design to gain an in-depth understanding of classroom practices and teachers’ experiences in implementing differentiated learning. The study was conducted with ninth-grade students at State Junior High School 2 Mekar Baru, Tangerang Regency. The participants included two Indonesian language teachers, one school headmaster, and fourth-grade students involved in the learning process, with five students selected as interview participants through purposive sampling. Data was gathered by means of observing classroom activities, conducting semi-structured interviews, and analyzing documents such as teaching modules, lesson plans, and student work. The data were analyzed using the interactive model of Miles and Huberman, which involves data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings revealed that the implementation of differentiation-based teaching modules supports student-centered learning and strengthens the critical thinking dimension of the Pancasila Student Profile, and teachers implemented various instructional strategies such as guided reading, storytelling, group discussions, and creative writing activities to accommodate students’ diverse learning needs. These practices increased student engagement, encouraged collaborative learning, and supported students in analyzing texts and expressing their ideas critically. However, several challenges were identified, including limited preparation time, large class sizes, and the need for additional teacher training. Overall, differentiation-based Indonesian language teaching modules have strong potential to support academic development and character education within the Independent Curriculum.

Abstract

This study aims to develop LINOSIAPPS teaching materials to enhance information literacy of elementary school students based on Pantura local wisdom. The method used is Research and Development with the ADDIE model, including analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. The research subjects were fourth-grade students of SD 1 Kesambi as the experiment and SD 2 Kesambi as the control, each with 22 students. The research instruments included expert validated questionnaires, teacher and student practicality questionnaires, and information literacy tests. The validation results showed that LINOSIAPPS was a very valid media (the average percentage of media expert validity was 90% and material expert 86.6%). The practicality test showed 96.5% student responses and 93.3% teacher responses, a very practical category. The effectiveness test using an independent t-test showed a significant difference (Sig. 0.000 <0.05) between the experimental and control groups, so LINOSIAPPS was effective in improving students' information literacy skills. The advantage of this media lies in the integration of e-module materials, interactive assessments, learning videos, and educational games that highlight the local wisdom of the Pantura area of Kudus, Pati, and Rembang. LINOSIAPPS supports contextual, engaging, and responsive Indonesian language learning to meet students' needs, while fostering local cultural awareness. Thus, LINOSIAPPS has proven valid, practical, and effective as an innovative teaching materials for strengthening information literacy in elementary school students.

Abstract

This study investigates the manifestations and pragmatic meanings of phaticity in podcast interactions through a discursive-integrative emic–epistemological pragmatic approach grounded in the ostensive–inferential framework. The research aims to uncover how phatic practices are produced, interpreted, and function interactionally within contemporary podcast discourse. The data consist of podcast utterances that exemplify various forms of phatic communion in natural language use. The substantive data source comprises podcast discourse containing identifiable phatic elements, while the locational data source includes a range of podcasts accessed throughout the research period. Data were collected using a non-participatory observation method, specifically through close and repeated listening to the selected podcast episodes. A systematic note-taking technique was employed to document relevant phatic expressions, enabling effective data organization, categorization, and analytical traceability. Data collection was deemed complete once all instances had been exhaustively classified into analytically relevant types serving as the basis for interpretation. Data analysis was conducted using a contextual pragmatic method that integrates conventional context and virtual context, with particular attention to the multimodal cybertextual environment of podcast interactions. In line with the principles of third-wave pragmatics, the analysis also incorporates social, societal, and cultural dimensions, emphasizing participants’ emic perspectives while maintaining epistemological rigor. The analytical procedure involved data identification, classification or reduction, pragmatic interpretation, and systematic presentation of findings. The findings reveal three dominant manifestations of pragmatic meanings of phaticity in podcast interactions: (1) greeting-related phatic meanings, functioning to initiate and sustain interpersonal engagement; (2) humor-related phatic meanings, serving to build rapport and interpersonal alignment; and (3) emphasis-related phatic meanings, which reinforce attentiveness and interactional involvement. These findings demonstrate that phaticity in podcast discourse operates as a dynamic pragmatic resource shaped by inferential intentions, discursive context, and digitally mediated interaction.

Abstract

This study examines the forms of language registers in the Bajo language as used by the coastal community of Bajo Village, Tilamuta District. While previous studies have primarily focused on language attitudes and contact phenomena, this research addresses a critical gap by analyzing how registers operate as domain-specific systems of meaning that organize knowledge, social roles, and everyday practices. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, data were collected through observation and elicitation of naturally occurring utterances across three key domains: fishing, trade, and education. The findings reveal that Bajo registers extend beyond lexical variation and function as structured semiotic systems embedded in social life. In the fishing domain, registers encode ecological knowledge, procedural labor, and maritime cognition through stable lexical items and morphologically marked verbs. In the trading domain, registers construct economic roles, transactional processes, and material classifications, reflecting both market-based and reciprocal forms of exchange. In the educational domain, registers emerge within a context of institutional bilingualism, where Bajo mediates the transmission of formal knowledge, supports classroom interaction, and localizes educational practices. This study argues that Bajo registers function simultaneously as communicative tools, cognitive frameworks, and cultural archives. Their continued use across multiple domains demonstrates that linguistic vitality is sustained not only through attitudes but through the functional integration of language in economic and institutional practices. By foregrounding the epistemic and social dimensions of register, this study contributes to sociolinguistic scholarship on language maintenance in multilingual coastal communities.

Abstract

This study investigates how Indonesian Instagram users craft male genitalia eponyms through acronymization, arguing that this practice is governed not by morphological rules but by socio-onomastic constraints. Analysis of 62 distinct names which were collected via phenomenological netnography and coded against Kridalaksana's sixteen acronym categories reveals that only four categories are attested, with 83.8% of items clustering in the "difficult to formulate" category. This concentration is not a classificatory residue but the central site of linguistic creativity, where users bypass structural regularity in favor of phonological naturalness and cultural salience. Rather than applying morphological rules to construct names, users select a culturally recognizable personal name as a target and retroactively manipulate source phrases to fit that onomastic template which is a process termed here as retrofitted eponymic acronymization. This bidirectional, name-driven process produces irregular acronyms that simultaneously function as taboo euphemisms, in-group solidarity markers, and performances of masculine identity in digital vernacular. These findings expose a fundamental inadequacy in Kridalaksana's framework, which presupposes linear rule-governed morphology and proves insufficient for digital taboo onomastics. The study calls for a hybrid typological model that integrates structural categories with a socio-onomastic creativity index accounting for taboo, identity, and digital context.

Abstract

Hikayat Patani is a literary work born from the Patani community that describes its social and historical conditions. This qualitative study examines social and historical transposition in the Hikayat Patani using Julia Kristeva's intertextual approach. The research data source is Hikayat Patani, with data collected through text reading and mapping, systematic recording, and contextual analysis. Data analysis includes suprasegmental and intertextual techniques. The study reveals the following social transpositions: 1) Patani port center; 2) Patani trade center; 3) Patani community is prosperous and prosperous; 4) development of Sungai Tambangan; and 5) treasurer in the government. Historical transpositions include: 1) Patani kingdom of the Islamic sultanate; 2) names of the sultans of Patani; 3) Patani led by a female king; 4) female monarch names; and 5) Patani kingdom maritime kingdom. The research reinforces Kristeva's intertextual theory in Malay literature analysis and underscores the role of Hikayat Patani as a source of history, culture, and Islamization. These findings support the development of local culture-based teaching materials and the strengthening of Patani Malay identity.

Abstract

Creativity and innovation in ludruk need to be done because this traditional art is already on the verge of extinction. The lack of regeneration of interested young people and changes in people's tastes are the dominant factors causing the extinction of Ludruk. Without creative efforts in packaging ludruk to be relevant to the current context, supported by innovations in the presentation and use of technology, this cultural heritage is at risk of being lost in the next decade. This research aims to find out the creativity and innovation that needs to be done to preserve Ludruk art performances. The research method applied is qualitative. The research location is in the Ludruk Lamongan community. Data collection techniques include observation, interviews, and focused discussions. The results of the study showed that the creativity carried out by the Sendakala community included intensive practice before the performance; preparation of the manuscript as a guide for conducting dialogues; shortening of the duration of the show; colossal Ludruk performances; and collaboration with other Ludruk communities. Innovations include the dissemination of Ludruk art performances to schools; management improvement where there is a division of duties between stage directors, music directors, and dance directors; the use of technology to support the background of the scene; and the use of publications through social media. The creativity and innovation carried out by the Sendakala group is part of the revitalization effort to preserve Ludruk art performances in Lamongan Regency.

Abstract

The main aim of this research is to elaborate the narrative structure of digital prose across various online platforms and examine how digital media characteristics influence storytelling forms. A qualitative approach and the integration of Gérard Genette’s structural narratology with Marie-Laure Ryan’s transmedial narratology are applied. The object of this research is the selected texts from Wattpad, Webtoon, Fizzo, and Karyakarsa. The findings of this research show that digital prose tends to apply linear yet accelerated and fragmented narrative structures, characterized by dominant internal focalization and homodiegetic narration to enhance reader engagement. Furthermore, each platform shapes narrative configuration differently. For example, Webtoon emphasizes multimodal and spatialized storytelling, Wattpad facilitates participatory, community-driven narrative; third, Fizzo promotes compressed, fast-paced storytelling; and fourth, Karyakarsa integrates a narrative production with social and economic interaction. These results reveal that digital prose is not simply an extension of printed literature, but it is a platform-dependent narrative form which is shaped by the interaction between textual strategies (narratology structure) and technological affordances (transmedial narratology). This study contributes to digital narratology by highlighting how platform features actively reconfigure narrative structures and reader–text relationships in contemporary storytelling.

Abstract

This study examines the implementation of literacy culture and learning quality in public elementary schools across DKI Jakarta. In this study, literacy culture is defined as the institutional integration of reading and writing practices, supportive learning environments, aligned assessment, and school facilities that sustain literacy-oriented instruction. Using data from 195 accredited schools, the research analyzes seven key indicators: higher-order thinking skills, student assessment, remedial and enrichment programs, enjoyable learning facilities, literacy integration, classroom environment, and infrastructure optimization. Accreditation documents were used not as direct measures of students’ literacy outcomes, but as institutional indicators reflecting the extent to which schools embed literacy-supporting practices in teaching and school management. The results show that most schools have implemented structured literacy programs and performance-based assessments, with 97.4% achieving high literacy integration. However, disparities remain in interactive learning environments and differentiated instruction, as only 46.2% met the criteria for enjoyable facilities and 69.7% for remedial and enrichment efforts. Qualitative analysis using NVivo identified dominant themes such as learning, literacy, and comfort, indicating school priorities. The study highlights the need for holistic improvement strategies, including technology integration, teacher training, and infrastructure support, to ensure sustainable literacy development and equitable access to quality education in urban settings. These findings show that high institutional literacy integration does not automatically indicate equal quality across all supporting dimensions, especially in enjoyable learning facilities and remedial-enrichment practices.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of the application of Augmented Reality technology. Reality (AR) in improving the short story writing skills of high school students, who still face obstacles in developing ideas, narrative structure, and learning motivation. The study used a quasi-experimental design with a pre-test and post-test. control group This design involved 60 eleventh-grade students at SMA Negeri 1 Jombang. Data were collected through short story writing tests, motivational questionnaires, and interviews, and analyzed using paired- reference tests. sample t- test, independent t- test, and effect The results showed that the experimental group using AR experienced a significant increase compared to the control group, with an average score increase of 25.95% compared to 7.05%. Statistical tests showed a significant difference (p < 0.05) with an effect The size of the medium-high category. In addition, students' learning motivation in the experimental group was higher (8.5/10) than in the control group (6/10). These findings indicate that AR effectively improves the quality of short story writing in terms of ideas, narrative structure, and language style, as well as increasing student engagement in learning. This study contributes to the development of technology-based writing learning models by systematically integrating AR into the writing process. The limitations of the study lie in the limited duration of the intervention and the narrow sample scope. Future research is recommended to test the implementation of AR on a wider scale and over a longer period.
