Abstract

This study examines the scarcity of indigenous language literacy in Merauke and the pressing threat of local language extinction. Utilizing a qualitative approach and case study method, the research identifies primary factors influencing the decline in the use of local languages, including the dominance of the Indonesian language, lack of documentation and teaching materials in native languages, and limited educational policy support for language preservation. Furthermore, globalization and modernization have driven younger generations to prioritize languages perceived as more economically and socially valuable. The findings reveal that without sustained revitalization efforts, local languages in Merauke face an increased risk of extinction. Recommendations include developing language documentation programs, integrating local languages into school curricula, and fostering community awareness and pride in native languages. This research aims to serve as a foundation for more effective language preservation strategies in Merauke.

Abstract

Abstract This study examines the impact of genre-based instruction on the writing skills of vocational high school students, specifically focusing on paragraph organization, coherence, relevance, and vocabulary acquisition. A quasi-experimental design with pretest-posttest measures was employed, involving 60 students divided into an experimental group, which received genre-focused instruction, and a control group, which followed traditional writing instruction. The genre-based approach was tailored to the students' technical fields, emphasizing structured paragraph development, use of cohesive devices, topic relevance, and application of field-specific vocabulary. The results showed significant improvements in the experimental group across all four writing components, with mean posttest scores rising substantially compared to the control group. The experimental group’s standard deviations also decreased, indicating greater consistency in their writing performance. Paired t-tests confirmed that genre-based instruction led to statistically significant gains in organization, coherence, relevance, and vocabulary acquisition (p < 0.001). In contrast, the control group demonstrated minimal improvement. These findings support genre theory, suggesting that explicit genre instruction enhances both the quality and reliability of students’ writing. This study underscores the importance of integrating genre-based strategies into vocational curricula, as it equips students with the technical and professional writing skills needed for their careers. Future research could further explore the long-term effects of genre-based instruction across various vocational disciplines.

Abstract

This study analyzes the representation of racial discrimination in the film Maleficent: Mistress of Evil (2019) through discourse analysis, focusing on how dialogues reflect systemic and everyday prejudices. The research employs a qualitative approach to examine instances of discrimination in the film’s narrative, particularly in the interactions between humans and the Fey. The findings reveal two primary forms of racial discrimination: chronic discrimination, which manifests through systemic oppression and historical marginalization, and daily discrimination, which appears in subtle prejudices and microaggressions. Queen Ingrith’s portrayal as a figure perpetuating anti-Fey sentiments underscores real-world parallels of racial bias, reinforcing stereotypes and societal divisions. The study highlights the film’s role in depicting discrimination as both a source of conflict and a reflection of broader societal tensions. By analysing these themes, this research contributes to discussions on racial representation in media and its implications for audiences’ perceptions of discrimination.

Abstract

This research examined the effectiveness of the Two Stay Two Stray (TSTS) technique in enhancing reading comprehension among students at SMP IT Ibnu Sina Merauke in the 2024/2025 academic year. This research employed pre-experimental research with one-group pretest-posttest. The sample was 28 students. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. In collecting the data, the researchers used a reading comprehension test in the form of multiple choice. Creating a multiple-choice question (MCQ) test with pre-test and post-test for assessing reading comprehension of narrative texts. The results demonstrated a statistically significant difference in students' reading comprehension between the pre-test with the result of mean score was 74.43 and post-test with the result of the mean score was 89.21. Furthermore, the research accepted the alternative hypothesis (H₁): the implementation of the Two Stay Two Stray technique significantly enhances students' reading comprehension skills.  This implies that English teachers should use this technique to enhance the students’ reading comprehension. However, the absence of a control group is a limitation of this research, and future research should address this limitation.

Abstract

A metaphor is a stylistic device used to convey meaning by expressing a concept or idea through a comparison with another, distinct concept or idea. Metaphors implicitly establish a connection between two unrelated elements to provide a deeper understanding of a concept. This article specifically examines hermeneutic paradigms in Javanese plant metaphors by applying Ahimsa-Putra's paradigm theory in cultural studies. The literature review incorporates hermeneutic and metaphorical analyses from various books and journals. The study highlights that Javanese plant metaphors operate based on fundamental principles regarding their function and the way meaning is conveyed. The core principles include the recognition of comparative concepts and the use of figurative language. Metaphors help explain, illustrate, simplify, and reshape perspectives on reality. Their meaning and application vary across different contexts, cultures, and forms of communication, contributing to the clarity and expressiveness of language.

Abstract

The disposal of rubber tires is one of the impacts resulting from the development of activities in the transportation sector. The accumulation of tire waste occurs along with the increase in the number of vehicle owners in society. This study aims to test the compressive strength of concrete with a mixture of rubber powder waste to reduce environmental pollution. The method used is the experimental method in the laboratory with concrete cylinder test specimens measuring 150 mm in diameter and 300 mm in height. The proportion of the rubber powder waste mixture to the fine aggregate was 0%, 30%, and 60%, consisting of three cylindrical test specimens for each variation. The test results show compressive strength values of 26.8 MPa, 19.6 MPa, and 13.1 MPa at rubber powder mixture percentages of 0%, 30%, and 60%. From the data, it can be concluded that rubber powder can be used as a partial substitute for sand in concrete material. The use of rubber powder in concrete reduces the compressive strength of the concrete.

Abstract

This paper aims to analyze the types, reasons, and pragmatic function (impact) of code-switching and code-mixing on Dedy Corbusier’s podcast. The data are collected by categorizing the transcript according to the types of code. To validate the data, the researcher used triangulation theory. The result is that the dominant type of code-switching is Intra-sentential, with 50 data (21%) of 235 total data. The submissive type of switching is emblematic with 5 data (5%). The dominant type of code-mixing is intra-sentential, with 68 data (29%). The submissive type of mixing is involving a change of pronunciation with 10 data (4%). The dominant reason is talking about a particular topic, with 111 data (47%) serves a referential pragmatic function, and the submissive of the reason is an expression, with 1 data (0,4%); they rarely discussed group identity. Based on the dominant and submissive reason, Deddy’s Podcast facilitates discussions on specific topics, enhancing clarity and comprehension. This strategic use of language may contribute to the podcast’s widespread appeal, evidenced by its 24.3 million subscribers.

Abstract

This study presents a semiotic interpretation of Blinding Lights by The Weeknd, focusing on how the song constructs symbolic representations of emotional states such as loss, loneliness, devotion, and hope. Using the theoretical frameworks of Saussure, Peirce, Barthes, and Yuwana, the analysis reveals the way linguistic and symbolic signs, such as light, darkness, silence, and urban imagery, encode emotional depth within the narrative of romantic longing. The study identifies how these signs interact to form a coherent structure of meaning that resonates with the universal experience of separation and devotion. The findings show that popular music, far beyond entertainment, serves as a space of cultural signification, conveying complex affective messages through semiotic constructs. This research contributes to the growing field of music semiotics and affirms the relevance of contemporary song lyrics as legitimate texts for scholarly analysis.

Abstract

Semantics is the study of meaning in language, including how the meanings of words and expressions relate to each other in various forms of discourse. One key branch of semantics is speech act theory, which examines how utterances function as actions. According to Austin, there are three types of speech acts: locutionary, illocutionary, and perlocutionary. This study focuses on illocutionary acts, which are intended actions performed by the speaker through speech. This research employs a descriptive qualitative method and analyzes the utterances of Natasha Romanoff in the movie Black Widow. The study aims to identify the types and purposes of illocutionary acts used by the main character. Based on Searle’s (1979) classification, illocutionary acts are divided into five types: (1) assertive, (2) directive, (3) commissive, (4) expressive, and (5) declarative. The results show that four types of illocutionary acts are found in Black Widow. In the assertive category, there are six data points used for stating, claiming, and predicting. In the directive category, there is one data point used for ordering. In the commissive category, four data points are found, used for threatening and refraining someone from doing something. Finally, in the expressive category, there are two data points used for condoling and complimenting. These findings reveal how language is used performatively in film to convey emotion, intent, and psychological depth.
