Abstract

The digitalized educational landscape of today requires ELT teachers to be conversant with technology. This study examined ELT teachers’ technological and pedagogical knowledge and their use of technology in listening skills instruction. To this end, an exploratory qualitative research design was employed. Thematic analysis was used to analyze the data collected using classroom observation and interviews. N-Vivo version 10 software was used for the data analysis. The findings indicated that teachers have a fair command of technology. However, they had limited technological content knowledge and technological pedagogical knowledge (TPK). Teachers were not able to make use of their knowledge of technology in their teaching. During listening instructions, only a few teachers use a smart board or a laptop to play audio materials. Most are not familiar with how to use any digital gadgets for teaching. For successful integration of digital technologies into listening instruction, training in the TPK is recommended. Furthermore, teachers’ capacity to use relevant digital apparatuses should be built.

Abstract

The multilingual environment in English language learning as a foreign language raises doubts regarding the existence and teaching of character education values in secondary schools. This research aims to identify character education values integrated into teacher-student interactions through code-mixing and code-switching linguistic phenomena. The research findings highlight the integration of 16 values through code-mixing and code-switching. The frequency of code-mixing by high and junior high school teachers was notably higher than code-switching. The disparity in these data outcomes reinforces the notion that the atmosphere tends to be relaxed in code-mixing, often unnoticed by speakers. Conversely, code-switching, where speakers, in this case, teachers, consciously do so with specific intentions and goals, either to integrate dominant character education values such as communication or discipline or other character education values. These findings underscore that code-switching and code-mixing are not negative elements in language learning. Instead, they serve as tools for integrating character education values among secondary school students.

Abstract

This research aims to find out the politeness strategies used by the participants for stating the disagreement and to disclose the stereotypes about women being more polite than men or not. The data source for this research was obtained from the disagreement statements performed by female and male participants in one of the Vice Debates’ episodes entitled Parents, Teachers & Students Debate the US Education System. The qualitative method was used to describe the differences in politeness strategies performed by women and men participants. This research found 37 politeness strategies used by all participants. Men participants produced 24 disagreement statements which contained 3 types of politeness strategies, which are bald-on record, positive politeness, and negative politeness. Positive politeness became the highest strategy used by men participants, it convinced the stereotype that men do not use an emotional approach when responding to the interlocutor is not necessarily true. On the contrary, female participants only delivered 13 disagreement statements but used all of the politeness strategies, which are bald-on record, positive politeness, negative politeness, and off-record. Negative politeness became the highest type and it reassures women do not always use long-winded talk when stating the disagreement.

Abstract

Along with the rapid development of technology, many educational platforms nowadays are used to support teaching and learning processes. Among these platforms is Pear Deck. It is an interactive platform that offers benefits to effectively increase students’ motivation and emotional engagement. This study aims to identify students’ motivation and emotional engagement in English lessons by utilizing Pear Deck. This case study revealed that the students feel emotions before the sessions start, all linked to their past experiences (retrospective outcomes). Fear, happiness, and excitement are the emotions the students feel at the beginning of the sessions, and they turn out to be enjoyable and happy at the end of the session. The emotions that the students feel during the sessions can potentially lead to the prospective outcomes of the students, which are success in their future endeavors. Additionally, the choice of suitable materials that will be delivered to the students must be considered by the teachers or educators to encourage and motivate students and uplift students’ emotional engagement with the lesson.

Abstract

This critical discourse study examines how language is used to marginalize certain groups in news titles published on social media. It focuses on linguistic elements, including words or terms, phrases, and sentences. As qualitative research employing discourse analysis methods, this study analyzes data from news headlines on social media or online media. Social media was chosen due to its widespread popularity as a source of information. Data analysis follows Fairclough’s theory, which includes text description, interpretation, and explanation. The findings reveal that news headlines often use words, phrases, and sentences to marginalize specific societal groups. Marginalized groups include powerful entities such as government officials accused of legal violations and marginalized individuals such as women. The language used in these headlines frequently involves negative connotations or dysphemisms, which emphasize undesirable traits or behaviors. Additionally, question sentences are employed in headlines to further marginalize these groups. This analysis highlights how linguistic choices in news titles reinforce societal biases and marginalize both dominant and disadvantaged groups.

Abstract

Poetry is a literary art that can be difficult to translate, considering its interpretations and the gap between languages. Previous related studies have yet to provide a deeper investigation into problems of poems and translation from students’ points of view. Filling in the gap, this study uses a qualitative method to examine the dominantly utilized translation method, the difficulties encountered, and how such difficulties were tackled. Twelve English Literature students were involved in translating a poem and answering interview questions. The data were analyzed using the poetry translation methods by André Lefevere (1975) and complemented by a written interview to further discuss the students’ perspectives. The results revealed that literal translation is the dominant method used. Problems related to diction in the target text were their main difficulty. Analyzed from their interview responses, the strategies utilized include consulting dictionaries, using descriptive equivalents, finding alternative terms online, and so on. This study concludes that the translation difficulties encountered leaned more toward language production skills and that poem translators should have a strong familiarity with both languages and an interest or expertise in poems. Translation studies should provide more exposure to Indonesian poems to increase familiarity with Indonesian literary diction.

Abstract

This paper explores the prevalent use of sarcasm among Indonesian Instagram users, particularly on the @Insertlive account and its link to cyberbullying. This qualitative study, adopting Keraf’s sarcasm function theory, identifies different types of sarcasm and how offensive language affects communication and social norms in social media. The study reveals different sarcasm functions like rejection, prohibition, information, and vulgarities, indicating that sarcasm is widely used in online communication. On the one hand, sarcasm is a means of laughter and togetherness; on the other hand, however, it is a hostile strategy to insult and criticize. This paper highlights the social benefits of constructive sarcasm compared to its potential harms that may lead to cyberbullying. It is suggested that social media should improve the moderation features and promote positive comments. Besides, future research could examine the effect of sarcasm on the psychological state of targets and observe cultural differences in the use of sarcasm across various platforms.

Abstract

Mandalika is an Indonesian tourist destination notable for sports tourism, as a result of the construction of the Mandalika circuit as an infrastructure for various international events to be held. Moreover, Mandalika also contains natural and cultural resources that can be explored. Therefore, it is categorized as one of the 5 Super Priority Destinations and is still being developed to attract domestic and international visitors. This research analyses relational processes found in five selected Mandalika tourism texts uploaded on the Indonesian Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy website under the Systemic Functional Linguistics point of view. Based on the data acquired in this study, a qualitative method is used. Based on the analysis, each clause broadly reflects Mandalika’s features, but the participants involved have different ways of describing each feature. In addition, the dominance of identifying relational processes in intensive clauses (33%) highlights the most prominent elements of Mandalika, providing readers with the greatest recommendations to enjoy throughout their vacation to Mandalika.

Abstract

This paper investigates how Kahf’s poetry collection, Hagar Poems (2016), discovers Muslim women or Muslimah leadership by exploring Muslimah leaders, such as Hagar (Hajar), Khadija, and Aisha to undermine reductionist views of Muslim women both in Orientalism and Anglo-American feminism. In doing so, Kahf uses the strategies of juxtaposition, humor, and irreverence by connecting Muslimah ancient leaders to her contemporary speakers who are crisscrossing Islamic traditions and American popular culture. By engaging with postcolonial and gender studies with the frameworks of leadership and Islamic studies, this paper investigates how Kahf’s women juxtapose ancient folkloric tales and American popular cultures, both to establish their multiple identities and leadership and to illuminate contemporary resonances of ancient Muslimah leaders in the eyes of subsequent generations. Indeed, the patterns of Muslimah leadership in Kahf’s poems are represented as engaging with the ideas of creativity, piety, and solidarity; and these patterns work to question the exclusion of Muslimah leadership in both gender and orientalist debates. Thus, Kahf’s Hagar Poems explores the representation of Muslim women from Islamic history who serve as role models, having displayed heroic characteristics through their leadership.

Abstract

This article aims to examine the exploitation of women in Kaine Agary’s novel Yellow-Yellow (2006). The novel has been analyzed from a postcolonial ecofeminist perspective. The postcolonial ecofeminist analysis of this novel reveals the exploitative type of relationship between women and extractivism, which can manifest the destruction of nature through the over-extraction of crude oil by transnational corporations. In this manner, Bibaebi, the major female character, is oppressed by the oil extraction process, dispossessed of her farmland, and faced with displacement and illicit migration. The study also reveals that though women are the brunt of persistent oppression, women’s interconnectedness to nature is a pathway to survival and resilience. Bibaebi and her daughter, Zilayefa, form a core of resistance against the petro-capitalist exploitation of nature. Ultimately, this study situates women within the broader discourse of neocolonial extractivism, underscoring the pressing need to reevaluate the intersection of women and nature in contemporary African literature.
