Abstract

The position of the tongue and teeth as the articulatory settings forms sounds during speech production. Understanding this, this study aims to identify the sound alternation outcomes most affected by changes in jaw position, namely Class III malocclusion (underbite). As participants in this study, Universitas Airlangga students are required to perform reading tasks focusing on consonant sounds in their first language, Indonesian. Qualitative research is used to analyze sound alternation, drawing on theories from Field (2004) in the Psycholinguistics study and Dardjowidjojo (2009) in the Phonetics study. Voice recordings of reading exercises using three texts were collected from the two participants. Analysis of this data showed that both individuals frequently substituted the /s/ and /z/ sounds, accounting for the majority (76.25%) of all sound changes observed. Furthermore, the study identified other sound alterations, including insertions (7.5%), deletions (12.5%), and metathesis (3.75%). These results suggest that an underbite affects the production of various sounds, not just the substitution of the sibilants /s/ and /z/. The researchers expect this study to contribute to psycholinguistic research by providing sound alternative surveys of people with Class III malocclusion.

Abstract

This paper explores the shifting landscape of literary criticism, tracing the decline of traditional frameworks—such as formalism, structuralism, and historicism—in favor of a renewed aesthetic engagement with literature. This research aims to investigate how and why critical approaches have lost prominence in literary discourse and to examine the alternative modes of interpretation emerging in their place. In response to this critical turning point, the paper introduces a speculative interpretive model termed resonant aesthetics. This emerging approach foregrounds the vibrational relationship between reader and text, where meaning arises not through analytical dissection but through intuitive, affective, and atmospheric immersion. The findings suggest that contemporary literary studies increasingly prioritize emotional resonance, experiential presence, and sensory perception, signaling a paradigm shift in how literature is valued and understood. Resonant aesthetics, as proposed in this paper, offers a new methodological framework for engaging with texts—one that embraces the ephemeral and the ineffable as integral to literary meaning. Ultimately, the paper argues for an expanded conception of literary criticism that revitalizes aesthetics as a primary mode of understanding in the 21st century.

Abstract

Eco-Translatology, first introduced by Hu Gengshen in 2001, bridges the integrity of language and ecology in the translation process by drawing on linguistic, cultural, and communication dimensions. This study applies the Eco-Translatology approach to analyze the Indonesian translation of “The Wild Robot” by Peter Brown. Using a descriptive qualitative method, the writer discusses translation data items consisting of words, phrases, and sentences, based on the three dimensions of Eco-Translatology. The results of the analysis show that the translator actively adapts and selects the linguistic aspects to maintain the naturalness and readability of the target text. Meanwhile, the cultural dimension suggests a relatively balanced application of domestication and foreignization strategies in translating cultural and ecological specific terms. Finally, communicative dimensions reflect how the translator preserves meaning and intention within the discourse in the overall ecological adaptation of the translation. The study offers insight into the practical application of ecological translation principles in Indonesian translation contexts.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the meaning and imagery of Pay Jarot Sujarwo’s poem entitled “Kekasih, Kemarau Kali Ini Tidak Ada Jingga, Tidak Ada Jingga” and to describe its relevance as a teaching material for literature courses. This study uses a qualitative descriptive approach with a structural analysis of the poem’s content. The theoretical framework of this study draws on the structural theory of semiotics to examine the connotative meaning of the imagery and diction and to identify signs pointing to meanings beyond the diction. The results of the study show a diversity of imagery found, including visual, auditory, motion, tactile, and atmospheric imagery. The use of imagery clearly conveys the inner atmosphere of longing and despair. This poem is also relevant to literary learning because it uses diction that trains students to understand implied meanings, imagery that supports the aesthetic analysis of language, and a theme that effectively develops students’ critical thinking skills. This poem can be a model text to improve students’ literary competence.

Abstract

This study examines how technology has been used to support deep learning in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) and maps research trends in this area through bibliometric analysis. The study used literature data retrieved from Google Scholar through the Publish or Perish database, covering publications from 2019 to 2022. A total of 110 publications were analyzed, including journal articles, books, conference proceedings, and book chapters. The analysis employed descriptive statistics to identify publication trends by year, document types, and citation counts. In addition, bibliometric mapping was conducted using VOSviewer to visualize keyword co-occurrence patterns and thematic clusters in the literature. The results show that technology plays an important role in supporting deep learning in EFL by helping teachers design learning activities and engage students more actively in the learning process. The keyword network also indicates that research in this area is closely related to language learning, teaching approaches, strategies, knowledge, and educational processes. Overall, the findings suggest that technology has strong potential to support the achievement of learning objectives in EFL contexts.

Abstract

This study examines test-taker perceptions of global and local English proficiency tests, focusing on suitability, preparation, and engagement. Although previous studies have explored English proficiency testing from policy or outcome-based perspectives, limited research has integrated test suitability with preparation processes and emotional engagement from the learners' viewpoint. Using a basic interpretative qualitative design, data were collected through interviews with test-takers who had experience with both global and local English proficiency tests. This study contributes to language assessment research by offering an integrated learner-centered account of how experiences with global and local English proficiency tests shape test suitability, preparation processes, and emotional engagement. The findings indicate that test-takers perceived suitability as a contextual fit rather than an inherent test quality. Global tests were viewed as appropriate for international academic and professional goals due to their recognition, but were also considered demanding and emotionally challenging. In contrast, local tests were perceived as more suitable for institutional purposes due to their familiarity and alignment with the context. These perceptions shaped preparation strategies and engagement. Overall, the study highlights the central role of test-taker perceptions in shaping test experiences and suggests the need for assessment practices that balance global recognition with local relevance.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to explore how EFL students perceive the role of lyrics in song-based listening activities. Students’ perceptions of the use of lyrics during listening practice were investigated using a qualitative descriptive research approach. Five university students who had experience listening to English songs with lyrics were intentionally selected as participants. This study concentrated on their authentic listening practices rather than using an intervention-based design. Semi-structured interviews, documentation, and observation were used to gather data. Miles and Huberman’s interactive qualitative analysis model, which incorporates data reduction, data display, and conclusion drafting, was used to examine the data. The results show that during listening exercises, participants described lyrics as visual aids that helped them follow spoken input, identify words, and comprehend song meaning. Additionally, participants reported that listening was more comfortable and engaging when lyrics were present. However, some participants reported difficulty comprehending both audio and lyrics simultaneously, particularly in songs with fast-paced sections or unfamiliar terminology. Overall, students view lyrics as a supportive component of their listening experiences. This study is limited by the small sample size, which may limit the generalizability of the findings. Despite this limitation, the results indicate that incorporating lyrics into song-based listening activities can support students’ comprehension and motivation, particularly in informal learning contexts. Future research is therefore recommended to include larger samples and examine additional variables, such as proficiency levels and song genres, to gain a deeper understanding of the role of lyrics in EFL listening development.
