Abstract

Syntactic competence is foundational to children’s literacy development; however, empirical research on how elementary learners construct sentences in response to specific interrogative prompts remains limited in Indonesian linguistic scholarship. Although prior studies have normatively described canonical sentence patterns or assessed general syntactic complexity, few have investigated the structural variations elicited by different question words. This study describes and analyzes the syntactic variations produced by fourth-grade students in response to five Indonesian interrogatives (where, how, who, why, what) and maps these responses onto the six canonical sentence patterns of Indonesian. Using a qualitative descriptive design and content analysis, the study examined students’ written responses to a narrative reading comprehension task. Each answer was parsed for syntactic function and evaluated against the framework of Standard Indonesian Grammar. Trustworthiness was ensured through thick description and inter-analyst triangulation. The findings reveal that each interrogative elicits a distinct range of syntactic realizations: full, elliptical, and compound with why producing the most elaborate, multi-clausal constructions. All observed variations align systematically with the six canonical patterns, indicating that ellipsis functions as a pragmatically motivated strategy rather than a syntactic deficiency. This study enriches the descriptive understanding of Indonesian child syntax and provides a diagnostic tool for elementary language instruction.

Abstract

This study investigates anomalous sentences (ijoubun) in the Japanese language by examining their forms and underlying causes from grammatical, semantic, and sociocultural perspectives. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, data were collected from linguistic references and analyzed based on syntactic structure, semantic acceptability, and cultural appropriateness. The findings reveal three main categories of anomalies. First, grammatical anomalies, which arise from violations of structural rules, particularly incorrect particle usage (e.g., the misuse of o instead of to in kekkon suru) and inappropriate application of aspectual forms to stative verbs such as sobieru, aru, and iru. Second, honorific anomalies, caused by improper mixing of speech levels, especially between kenjougo and keigo, resulting in expressions that are structurally possible but pragmatically unacceptable. Third, sociocultural anomalies, where sentences are grammatically correct yet perceived as unnatural due to violations of Japanese cultural norms, including uchi–soto distinctions in greetings and contextual mismatches such as shitsugen in public discourse. These findings demonstrate that anomaly in Japanese cannot be explained solely by grammatical correctness but must also consider semantic harmony and cultural context. The study contributes to Japanese linguistics by providing a clearer classification of anomalous sentences and by establishing a conceptual distinction between grammaticality, naturalness, and acceptability. This integrated framework offers practical implications for language teaching, particularly in helping learners understand the limits of “natural” Japanese usage beyond formal grammar rules.

Abstract

A This study examines the relationship between ecological interest and technological perception in shaping elementary students’ support toward ecology-based digital Indonesian language modules. The research employed a quantitative cross-sectional survey involving 212 fifth- and sixth-grade students from an elementary school in Depok, Indonesia. Data were collected through a questionnaire developed based on the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), focusing on ecological interest, technological perception, and students’ support toward eco-digital learning modules. The findings indicate that most students demonstrated positive responses toward the integration of ecological themes into Indonesian language learning. Ecological interest emerged as the strongest factor associated with students’ support, followed by technological perception and prior digital learning experience. Students with stronger ecological awareness and more positive perceptions of learning technology generally showed higher acceptance of eco-digital modules. However, several students still preferred contextual and experiential environmental learning activities alongside technology-based instruction. Overall, the study highlights the importance of integrating ecological literacy and accessible digital learning design in developing sustainability-oriented Indonesian language learning for elementary education.

Abstract

This study aims to develop and evaluate contextual-based Indonesian language teaching materials for foreign speakers (BIPA) within the Muhammadiyah university setting. Addressing the limitations of existing culture-based materials, the study proposes an institution-based approach that integrates Muhammadiyah values, academic practices, socio-religious perspectives, and authentic campus communication contexts into instructional design. A mixed-method research design was employed within a research and development (R&D) framework guided by the ADDIE model. The study involved 15 BIPA learners, 2 instructors, and 3 experts. The needs analysis revealed that learners required instructional materials integrating linguistic, communicative, academic, socio-cultural, and institutional dimensions, with institutional context emerging as the most important component. The developed materials were validated by experts and were rated highly appropriate due to their alignment with learners’ communicative needs, authentic learning situations, and integration of institutional cultural values. The effectiveness test demonstrated a statistically significant improvement in learners’ communicative competence between the pre-test and post-test, with a large effect size indicating substantial learning gains. The findings suggest that the integration of authentic campus interactions and Muhammadiyah-based contextual content can enhance learners’ ability to communicate effectively in academic and social environments. This study contributes to BIPA pedagogy by extending contextualization beyond local cultural representation toward an institution-based framework that integrates cognitive, cultural, and contextual dimensions. The findings provide a practical model for developing context-sensitive BIPA materials in Islamic higher education institutions and other educational settings with distinctive institutional identities.

Abstract

This study aims to describe and measure the extent to which reading comprehension skills and learning motivation contribute to news writing skills. This study employs a quantitative approach with a correlational design. The study population consisted of 136 seventh-grade students at SMP Negeri 30 Batang Hari, Jambi Province. A sample of 82 respondents was selected using proportionate random sampling. The data collection instruments consisted of an objective test to measure reading comprehension, a Likert scale questionnaire for learning motivation, and a performance test to assess news text writing skills. The data were statistically analyzed using the Pearson Product Moment correlation test, partial and multiple linear regression, the t-test, and the F-test. The results of the analysis confirmed the following three points. First, reading comprehension skills significantly contribute to news text writing skills by 56.10%. Second, learning motivation contributes significantly by 40.45%. Third, reading comprehension skills and learning motivation simultaneously contribute 56.25% to news text writing skills. Based on these research results, it is concluded that mastery of text comprehension and the level of learning motivation are key predictors of the quality of students’ news articles. Improving students’ ability to produce functional texts requires schools to integrate analytical reading exercises with the cultivation of a supportive learning environment in the classroom.

Abstract

Multicultural education at the senior high school level plays a crucial role in fostering tolerant student characters, promoting respect for diversity, and creating inclusive learning environments. This study aimed to explore the multicultural values within Grade XI Indonesian language textbooks as a form of internalizing inclusive education in the era of artificial intelligence (AI) technology. Utilizing a descriptive qualitative method, this study analysed multicultural values as the research object, with Grade XI Indonesian language textbooks serving as the research subject. Data were gathered using the scrutinizing and note-taking techniques, while the data analysis process involved data collection, data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The results revealed that the Grade XI Indonesian language textbooks incorporated several multicultural values, including justice, tolerance, equality, and democracy. These values were embedded across three dimensions—knowledge, skills, and attitudes—and were represented through reading texts, exercises, and student reflective activities. These findings confirm that Indonesian language textbooks serve as a strategic medium for internalizing inclusive education. In the AI era, these multicultural values can be implemented more effectively through personalized and inclusive learning. Ultimately, the integration of value-rich textbooks and AI technology supports the creation of an equitable, inclusive education system oriented toward the well-being of all students.

Abstract

This study aimed to develop gamification-based digital media as an innovative learning tool to strengthen the writing literacy of first-grade elementary school students. The research used a Research and Development (R&D) method with the ADDIE model. Data were collected through expert validation questionnaires, teacher and student evaluation questionnaires, and writing skills tests. The results showed that the developed media had a high feasibility level, with material expert validation scores of 81.7 (very feasible) and media expert scores of 80.2 (feasible). User evaluations also showed very positive responses, with average scores of 82.0 from teachers and 82.75 from students. The effectiveness test results indicated that students who learned using gamification-based digital media had an average writing literacy ability of 85.71, higher than the conventional learning group at 77.50, with a statistically significant difference (t = 3.867; p < 0.001). This finding shows that integrating gamification elements can boost student engagement while also supporting the development of early writing skills through a more interactive, gradual, and motivating learning experience. This study offers theoretical contributions to the development of gamification-based literacy learning, pedagogical contributions as an alternative, more innovative writing teaching strategy, and practical contributions by providing effective digital media to support the enhancement of elementary students' writing literacy.

Abstract

This study explores how social media exposure shapes students’ ambivalent language attitudes and influences their academic writing. In the digital era, students are continuously exposed to informal linguistic environments characterized by abbreviations, code-mixing, slang, and non-standard sentence structures. Using a qualitative descriptive-analytical design, this study involved 30 undergraduate students at a university in Surabaya, Indonesia. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, analysis of academic writing samples, and non-participant observations of students’ digital language practices. The findings identify ambivalent language attitudes as the study’s principal contribution. Students recognized the importance of standard Indonesian for academic writing while feeling more comfortable using informal digital language in everyday communication. This tension appeared in their writing through informal vocabulary, fragmented sentences, limited paragraph development, and weak cohesion. However, students with stronger metacognitive awareness, deliberate code-switching, systematic revision, and greater exposure to academic texts were better able to regulate their writing. These findings suggest that language attitudes constitute the key mechanism linking social media exposure and academic writing quality. Writing instruction should therefore promote register awareness and self-regulated writing strategies to help students navigate effectively between digital and academic language.

Abstract

Developing Indonesian language teaching materials that address 21st century demands has become a necessity. This study aims to design AI-integrated and web-based Indonesian teaching materials that are integrated with art and cultural values. It focuses on student interaction with AI as cultural interpreter and the embedding of cultural values within learning activities. This study implements ADDIE design. The primary novelty of this research lies in the formulation of a tripartite integration framework that simultaneously unifies three core components within a single learning product. The research subjects were 200 junior high school students. Data was collected through student needs assessment questionnaires, expert validation questionnaires, and learning achievement tests. The needs analysis revealed a high demand for interactive digital teaching materials among students, with the aspects of digital teaching materials (4,15) and learning technology (4,10) ranking as the highest priorities. Expert validation results indicated that material and media feasibility achieved scores of 90,8% and 88,4%, both categorized as “highly feasible.” The N-Gain test results demonstrated that the experimental class attained an average score of 0,60 (moderate category), with 60% of students falling into the high category, whereas the control class only achieved 0,28 (low category). Pedagogical implication of these findings is the need of learning model which integrates technology and culture to create meaningful, contextual and responsive learning experience. Therefore, AI-integrated and web-based Indonesian teaching materials integrated with art and cultural values are declared highly feasible and effective for use at junior high school level. This study offers three significant contributions: (1) a theoretical contribution in form of the tripartite integration framework, (2) a practical contribution through a ready-to-implement teaching material product, and (3) a policy contribution as a reference for developing an Indonesian language curriculum that is adaptive to the digital era while simultaneously preserving local culture.

Abstract

This research focuses on creating and evaluating the efficacy of Languafrasa aimed at decreasing plagiarism rates in student essays. Beyond lowering similarity scores, the study positions Languafrasa as an educational writing companion that helps students compare alternative expressions, preserve meaning, and practise responsible paraphrasing in Indonesian academic writing. Languafrasa is designed to incorporate AI-powered paraphrasing functionalities in Indonesian and 102 other languages. The study followed an experimental design involving 30 students who were divided into two groups. One group used conventional essay writing methods, while the other utilized the Languafrasa application. The experimental outcomes revealed a significant decrease in plagiarism levels among students using the Languafrasa application. Additionally, students in the experimental group demonstrated higher efficiency than those in the control group. Feedback from the questionnaire administered to all participants corroborated these results, with most students favoring the application over traditional writing methods. Users found Languafrasa enjoyable, user-friendly, and an effective aid in essay-writing instruction. These findings suggest that Languafrasa contributes not only to textual originality but also to students' confidence and engagement in learning how to paraphrase. The application is accessible at https://languafrasa.com.
