Abstract

This study overviews literature regarding the development of Indonesian, language endangerment, language attitudes, and ideologies, as well as emerging teaching methodologies to provide the context of the current challenges facing Indonesia’s sociolinguistic situation. The establishment of Bahasa Indonesia as the national language helped unite the country but, at the same time, created new challenges for addressing linguistic diversity. The dissemination of English education has complicated the situation further and has been associated with exacerbating inequalities. These inequalities have not only had consequences for linguistic diversity but also for access to employment and education. Language policies continue to treat language as static rather than dynamic processes which involve one’s communicative repertoire. We argue that while some language scholars studying Indonesia have begun to acknowledge the advantages of translingual/multilingual education, there still remains under-addressed obstacles to its successful implementation and the risk of co-option for ulterior purposes. We conclude that advocacy for language policy in Indonesia should be a part of a broader effort to address the needs of marginalized communities and harness students’ diverse and dynamic linguistic repertoires to improve the quality of learning and inclusivity in the classroom

Abstract

This research is a pragmatic analysis of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, a novel by Mark Twain, through Grice’s cooperative principle. The objectives of this research were to analyze the types and implied meanings and to examine the most frequent type of Grice’s cooperative principles performed by the main characters in the novel. This research employed a qualitative research approach by using the content analysis technique. The data were collated by analyzing the utterances that appear in the novel that indicated the disobedience cooperative principle. Grice’s cooperative principle found in this study consisted of two types: the first type was the observance maxim which included the maxim of quality, the maxim of quantity, the maxim of relation, and the maxim of manner. The second type was the non-observance maxim: flouting, violating, and opting out. The result showed that all types of Grice’s cooperative principles were found, and the maxim of violating was the most frequent type of Grice’s cooperative principle found in the novel.

Abstract

Classroom interaction is identified to engage students in responding and interacting with teachers and other students. However, one problem that usually interferes with teacher-student interaction is unpredictable students’ reactions in interpreting the teacher’s utterances. The present research investigated several reasons for students’ responses to teachers’ directive utterances. To reach the objective, a case study was applied. Three eighth-grade students in a Yogyakarta lower secondary school were selected to participate in this study. The data were collected through observation and interviews. Meanwhile, the data analysis was based on Miles’ interactive model. The results of this study show that internal and external variables affect the students’ responses during English classes. A lack of vocabulary and needing extra time to guess are the internal variables to understanding the teacher’s intention. Meanwhile, unfavorable classroom atmospheres resulting from noisy students, noisy next-door classes, and noisy vehicles outside are the external variables that disturb the students’ attention and understanding of the teacher’s directive utterances. The results of this research reveal significant implications for students’ attitudes, as they rarely develop their interaction due to internal and external factors. Thus, the condition requires the teacher’s role as an active language user.

Abstract

This research aims to describe the language anxiety level and type frequently experienced by English Department first-year students of Wijaya Kusuma University Surabaya. It used a case study as the research design to explain the phenomenon observed. The research participants were twenty-eight English Department first-year students of Wijaya Kusuma University Surabaya. Each of them was given a five-point Likert scale questionnaire adapted from Foreign Language Classroom Anxiety Scale developed by Horwitz et al. (1986). The findings unveiled that most first-year students experienced moderate language anxiety levels in which they frequently experienced the fear of negative evaluation. It is suggested that future researchers explore the students’ anxiety levels and types by considering their learning proficiency and habit.

Abstract

This paper aims to elaborate triviality and seriousness portrayed in Oscar Wilde’s The Importance of Being Earnest (1898). The play was considered Wilde’s masterpiece, and it highlights the life in the Victorian era. The play portrays the marriage life also the importance of wealth, land, and beauty. This paper employs textual and historical approaches. The findings revealed that the play exemplifies triviality by treating serious things like trivial objects and vice versa. Marriage was seen as insignificant by the male characters in the play. Lane saw it as the reason for the champagne downgrading and a bargaining part for Algernon and Jack to have their goals. Meanwhile, unimportant thing like the name was treated as if it was life matter. Cecily and Gwendolen saw a particular name as the main requirement for choosing a husband. This paper concludes that Oscar Wilde made use of such a technique on purpose to make fun of the Victorian way of life.

Abstract

This paper examines the novel A Gesture Life (1999), written by a Korean American writer, Chang-rae Lee, focusing on the theme of recovering a hidden identity. For this purpose, the persona theory of C.G. Jung was applied as a device for understanding the identity issue. A retired businessman Franklin Hata, born to Korean parents, is a man of multi-identity through adoption to a Japanese family and immigration to America, where he is reputed to be an ideal Asian immigrant. Psychologically suffering from conflict in his relationship with his adopted daughter, Sunny, he reflects on his past and encounters the traumatic memory that he has been holding deep in his unconscious. The findings show that Hata’s aim of assimilating into mainstream society urges him to erase his memory and conceal his identity behind his persona; his reconciliation with his memory helps him stand as a man free from the gesture.

Abstract

The study investigated the expressive act constructing religious identity among Indonesian Muslim influencers on Instagram. Employing a qualitative descriptive method with non-participant observation, the data were obtained by documenting the caption of the posts from the selected influencers' Instagram accounts, taking notes, and selecting the relevant data. The data were analyzed using Searle's (1976) theory and the identity theory by Thornborrow (2004) to examine how the expressive act constructs religious identity. The results showed seven types of expressive speech acts performed by Indonesian Muslim influencers; Fadil Jaidi, Atta Halilintar, Ria Ricis, and Lesty Kejora. Those expressive speech acts are thanking, gratitude, praise, apology, appreciation, condolence, and congratulation. There are 53 data found, and most of the expressive acts uttered by the influencers are thanking others. Furthermore, the group identities are constructed by the representation of Indonesian Muslim influencers by which the language variations were identified from the code-switching they employed. There are also four common manners practiced by the Muslim influencers: 1) show mercy towards everyone, 2) have respect and love for the elder/ younger, 3) keep good relations with everyone, and 4) be kind to parents.

Abstract

The study examined the reporting verbs (RV) and tenses of RV in the academic essay of English-majored undergraduate students in Indonesia. Employing a sequential explanatory mixed-method research design, the study first collected quantitative data in the form of frequency of RV using Hyland’s (2002) framework and tenses of RV using Thomas and Hawes’ (1997) framework. Qualitative data were then collected to explain the reasons behind the use of RV and the tenses of RV. The study found that discourse verbs are prevalent in the students’ essays, with 66,67% occurrence of total corpus, followed by research verbs, with 30,72% occurrence of the total corpus. Cognition verbs, however, were the least used, with 2,61% of the total corpus. The study also found that present tense (58,82%) and past tense (41,18%) were the most frequently used tenses in students’ RV. The interview revealed students’ reasons behind the frequent use of discourse and research verbs and the limited use of cognition verbs in their essays. Among which are their lack of engagement with literature and reticence to evaluate the author’s claims due to their inadequate cognitive competence and English proficiency. The study concludes that students’ use of discourse and research verbs reflects their relatively low criticality toward the cited materials.

Abstract

This study reveals student-related problems as an existing phenomenon in the learning of English literature at the English Department. This refers to both the difficulties faced by the students and the students as a part of the problems. Using the qualitative descriptive method, the data were collected using questionnaires, observation, documentation, and Forum Group Discussion. Having been collected, the data were analyzed using qualitative data analysis offered by Miles, Huberman, and Saldana (2020) consisting of reduction, display, and conclusion phases. The findings show that there are external and internal problems. The external problems include students’ external factors, such as the difficulty of teaching materials and the ineffective teaching strategy, whereas the internal problems cover students’ affective factors, such as low reading motivation and inadequate language competence. Due to its limitation, it is suggested that further research be carried out with other subjects in another university context to verify the findings.
