In the context of increasing global use of English, students are now frequently exposed to different accents, although many classrooms still prioritize native-speaker norms that can limit learners’ confidence in listening. This study explores how an English Literature classroom can be reoriented by questioning the dominance of the native-speaker standard and how students’ perceptions shift from viewing accents as “errors” to understanding them as part of real-world communication and identity. This study used a qualitative descriptive design involving thirteen undergraduate students selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected from reflective responses after a structured listening comprehension task using authentic materials such as Singlish interviews and Indian English videos. The data were analyzed using thematic analysis to identify recurring patterns in students’ experiences. The findings show that exposure to diverse accents helps students become more flexible listeners. Instead of focusing on native-like pronunciation, they gradually rely more on context and meaning to understand spoken English. This process also helps reduce listening anxiety when dealing with unfamiliar accents. Drawing on Global Englishes and Intercultural Communicative Competence, this study suggests that listening should be understood as meaning-making in context rather than simply recognizing ideal pronunciation. It also highlights the importance of valuing linguistic diversity in English as a global language.

Figurative language is central to horror cinema, yet its transfer in subtitling is complicated by the medium's spatial and temporal constraints, and prior studies have often measured accuracy without separating meaning transfer from target-language naturalness. This study investigates the English-to-Indonesian subtitle translation of figurative language in the horror film Final Destination: Bloodlines (2025). Its objectives are to identify how four dominant figurative types are distributed across the corpus, to determine the translation techniques used to transfer them, and to assess subtitle quality using the Functional Equivalence and Acceptability dimensions of Pedersen's (2017) FAR model. Although the FAR model comprises three pillars, the Readability dimension, which concerns technical spotting such as line length and reading speed, is deliberately set aside so that attention remains on the linguistic-semantic transfer of figurative meaning, which the two retained dimensions govern. Employing a qualitative descriptive design supported by quantitative frequency data, the corpus comprises 20 purposively selected segments representing Simile, Metaphor, Personification, and Hyperbole. A second rater validated the data, yielding inter-rater agreement of κ = 0.83 (Cohen's Kappa), within the almost perfect range. The translator relied mainly on Literal Translation (40.0%) and Modulation (40.0%), supplemented by Transposition (15.0%), Amplification (5.0%), and Reduction (5.0%). For quality, 85.0% of expressions achieved Accurate Functional Equivalence, while 15.0% were Less Accurate due to reduced stylistic or supernatural intensity; likewise, 85.0% were Acceptable and 15.0% Less Acceptable due to slight rigidity. The study concludes that while literal translation secures formal correctness, strategic modulation and transposition are crucial for preserving psychological tension and cognitive immersion, and that figurative meaning is most easily weakened at culturally specific images and at the directness of metaphor and personification.

In today’s globalized service industry, English has become an essential tool for communicating with international clients. Nevertheless, many fitness staff still experience difficulties in using English effectively within professional workplace interactions. This study aims to analyze the English language needs of cashier staff at Macan Gading Fitness Club, Bali, from an applied linguistics perspective. This study employs a qualitative descriptive method using observation, interviews, and documentation to collect data from three cashier participants. The study focuses on identifying the types of English skills, communicative situations, and workplace expressions required in daily interactions, assessed across four dimensions: pronunciation accuracy, vocabulary range, confidence, and fluency. The findings reveal that speaking and listening are the most essential English skills required by cashier staff across four target communicative situations: greeting and welcoming members, explaining facilities and membership packages, answering member inquiries, and handling complaints. Through the ESP needs analysis framework of Hutchinson and Waters (1987), the study identifies staff necessities in these workplace interactions, highlights significant lacks in vocabulary, grammatical accuracy, confidence, and fluency, and reveals participants’ wants for context-specific English training, particularly in workplace vocabulary, spontaneous interaction, and complaint-handling communication. This study contributes to the field of English for Specific Purposes (ESP) by providing empirical evidence and practical insights into language training for fitness industry staff in tourist-dense regions.
