Abstract

Research on collaborative learning in English for Specific Purposes (ESP), particularly from the students’ perspectives, remains relatively limited due to prevailing focuses on teacher-centered approaches and individual assessment. The present study addresses the gap by exploring how collaborative learning impacts student engagement and outcomes in an English Medical Purposes (EMP) course. A total of 328 Medicine, Nursing, and Nutrition students completed a questionnaire using a 5-point Likert scale to evaluate their perspectives on collaborative learning. Results show overall satisfaction, with mean ratings ranging from 4.00 to 4.25 across key aspects such as utility, alignment with expectations, enjoyment, practical application, sense of community, exchange of ideas, and skill development. These findings underscore the value of collaborative learning in fostering active participation and supportive learning environments. In addition, as the identification of potential weaknesses in current implementations of collaborative learning in EMP contexts was not explored, future research should investigate the challenges and develop targeted strategies to optimize collaborative learning experiences in EMP settings.

Abstract

Instead of predominantly functioning to protect women, many toxic marriages even legitimize and institutionalize patriarchal oppression. This has sparked feminist criticism, as in Katie Fforde's novel Going Dutch. Featuring a female character who rejects marriage and lives independently, this study aims to analyze two main aspects: (1) the representation of the rejection of marriage as a form of resistance to patriarchy in the novel and (2) the author's ideological position. Using a feminist approach with Stuart Hall's representation as its conceptual framework, the analysis reveals that the main character, Joana, refuses to remarry because of her traumatic experience in her previous marriage. Her husband forbids her from working or socializing outside the home. After her divorce, Joana chooses to live independently in the Netherlands, pursuing her career and hobbies while achieving economic independence and personal liberty. Through the character of Joana, Katie Fforde criticizes patriarchal norms still embedded in the institution of marriage. Going Dutch functions as a work of fiction that Ffordes advocates for women's empowerment and their right to live independently

Abstract

This study aims to explore the implementation of portfolio in higher education, particularly in an English Language Education Department in Indonesia. Mixed method with concurrent combination was selected. Quantitative data were collected with a questionnaire (n = 74), while qualitative data were collected by three FGDs sessions (n= 21). The quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, while the qualitative data were analyzed thematically. These data were then interpreted simultaneously and four key themes were generated from the data: 1) Superficial understanding and skills in using portfolio, 2) Scarce and Partial Implementation of e-Portfolio, 3) Digital Technology as a Norm in Portfolio Implementation, and 4) Internalized Positive Views on Portfolio Implementation. These findings have shed light on the implementation of e-portfolio in this institution. Some recommendations were offered in order to improve its future implementation.

Abstract

This study of the literary work Merasa Pintar, Bodoh Saja Tak Punya by Rusdi Mathari employs Michel Foucault’s theory of madness to analyze narrative data and identify the concept of madness within the epistémè of the village community where the main character, Cak Dlahom, resides. The main character gets different treatment from two groups of people he meets in his daily life. The first group is people who always need confirmation from Cak Dlahom. The second group consists of people who make a priori judgments, attribute the concept of madness to Cak Dlahom, treat him as a different person, and then laugh at and ignore him. However, Cak Dlahom managed to fight the social epistémè by creating a narrative that broke the stigma. This research successfully identifies the patterns and impacts of societal judgment on individuals who are perceived as different. Additionally, there is an image of an individual’s ability to resist the dominant view and shape their own narrative in society.

Abstract

Teaching English vocabulary to secondary school students requires effective strategies to support vocabulary acquisition. However, there is still a lack of a comprehensive understanding of teachers’ most effective techniques. Therefore, this study aims to identify teachers’ strategies for teaching English vocabulary to junior high school students in Tasikmalaya. The research used a descriptive case study design, with data collected through semi-structured interviews with a teacher who is an English education graduate. The data were analyzed using qualitative methods as described by Miles, Huberman, and Saldana (2014). The findings highlight three main areas: (1) Vocabulary learning strategies, such as games, pictures, realia, songs, translation, gestures, and memorization; (2) Classroom management strategies, including fostering enthusiasm, organizing group activities, encouraging participation, and creating a positive learning environment; (3) Vocabulary assessment, utilizing various methods to measure vocabulary proficiency. The study concludes that these strategies foster a positive learning environment and motivate students to expand their English vocabulary. The findings also suggest that enhancing teachers’ creativity in developing these strategies can significantly improve students’ vocabulary acquisition.

Abstract

Sociolinguistic equality requires improving public understanding of language variation and challenging language ideologies that perpetuate social inequalities. This study introduces a public engagement strategy using research-based verbatim theatre to promote sociolinguistic equality, defined as the respectful treatment of all language users. The verbatim theatre approach, utilizing recorded delivery, is systematically applied to research data of language variation among older adults in Tyneside. The data selection and development of the “From You to Me” production followed a rigorous process that adhered to the PRISMA 2020 framework. The initial data consisted of 50 hours of interview recordings. Participants were pre-selected for social and linguistic diversity. Extracts were selected based on sociolinguistic representativeness, theatrical criteria, and ethical considerations, resulting in the inclusion of data from thirteen participants in the production. Audience evaluations indicate the production’s potential for improving understanding of language variation and shifting attitudes.

Abstract

In the context of teaching English for Islamic studies, English for Specific Purposes (ESP) is the prevalent approach. Students’ needs for their preparation toward their professional practice are central considerations in ESP. Understanding professional practices is, therefore, inevitable. Corpora of academic sources in the discipline can serve as a firm reference for English for Islamic studies. This study explored corpora of English article abstracts from the international journal of Islamic studies and from reference books on English for Islamic studies. The abstracts were collected from international journals in Islamic studies, while the books served as references at three universities in Indonesia. The corpora were analyzed using AntConc. The study further compares the existing corpora from the two sources and evaluates their conformity. The study examines the extent of conformity regarding the adequacy of reference books in preparing students for future professional discourse. The findings of this study are significant not only as a reflection on current practice in English for Islamic studies in the context of Indonesian ESP, but also as a foundation for further improving the course’s teaching to better cater to students’ needs.

Abstract

This study explores the representation of women’s emancipation in Enola Holmes 2 through the lens of feminist literary criticism. Using Mansour Fakih’s theory of emancipation, the research examines how the film portrays women’s struggles and resistance in three key areas: economy, education, and politics. The film centers on Enola Holmes, a young female detective navigating systemic gender discrimination in Victorian England. Through her challenges in establishing a career, her involvement in the Matchgirls Strike of 1888, and the mentorship she receives from her mother, the film demonstrates the multidimensional nature of emancipation. Enola’s journey symbolizes both personal empowerment and collective resistance, aligning with both liberal and socialist feminist perspectives. Her development as an independent, capable figure, along with the solidarity shown among female characters like Sarah Chapman and Mira Troy, reflects ongoing struggles against patriarchal norms. This study highlights how cinema can function as a powerful medium to critique historical and contemporary gender inequalities. The film does not only entertain but also educates and inspires audiences to reflect on women’s continuous efforts toward freedom, agency, and equality. By reconstructing historical narratives with a feminist lens, Enola Holmes 2 contributes significantly to popular feminist discourse.

Abstract

African women developed indigenous feminist theories because they believed that Western Feminism could not answer the needs of African women. The reasons are cultural differences and differences in African women’s experiences compared to those of Western women. This study analyzes female self-empowerment in the young adult novel Escape (2011) by Gebeyehu Ayele. The novel is written for Ethiopian young adults, but it also appeals to adults. An analysis of the young adult female protagonist is conducted using parameters drawn from snail-sense feminist theory. The article uses textual analysis. The researchers apply the strategies of Snail Sense Feminism, i.e., good education, dialogue with patriarchy, and self-actualization, among others, to extract selected passages from the novel to explore how the female protagonist empowers herself and navigates patriarchy with patience and resilience, paving the way for her freedom from the grip of patriarchal oppression. The female character experiences patriarchal oppression within her household. Through resilience, self-determination, patience, tact, her ability to navigate patriarchy, and support from sisterhood, she succeeds in liberating herself from the yoke of patriarchy.

Abstract

The global ecological crisis not only affects the physical environment but also evokes emotional responses, such as eco-anxiety, and hopes for the restoration of nature. This study examines the portrayal of emotional reactions and ecological hopes in the film The End We Start From (2023) through Glotfelty’s (1996) ecocritical framework. Using qualitative descriptive methods and narrative analysis, this study characterizes the main character and visualizes disaster as forms of ecological narrative. The analysis reveals that this film embodies ecological fear and emotional reactions to the environment through the main character’s fear, confusion, and alienation, while offering environmental hope through human solidarity and emotional resilience. This study contributes to broadening the scope of ecocriticism by integrating emotional aspects and storylines in the discussion of films about modern environmental issues.
