Abstract

Social issues often happen in everyone’s life. Not only happened in the movies, but it also happened in our real life. Some people tell it through lyrics and make it into a song, just like the problems researchers have found in the lyrics of the ‘Pumped up Kicks’ song. This study aims to address one of the social issues, namely juvenile delinquency, in the lyrics of the “Pumped up Kicks” song. The method used to analyze the juvenile delinquency in "Pumped up Kicks" song's lyrics involves descriptive, examining the lyrics, and interpreting their symbolic meanings. Researchers use the theory from Stuart Hall, which is the constructionist representation. This study examines how the song portrays themes of youth violence and the consequences of neglect. Through the lens of cultural studies, we dissect the song's lyrics to understand their reflection of broader cultural norms, values, and anxieties. The study showed that the juvenile delinquency revealed in the song’s lyrics is a minor who is struggling with mental health issues and homicidal thoughts, school violence, and gun violence in teenagers. In conclusion, this research aims to increase knowledge and bring awareness to the issues of teenagers, something that we have been hearing more and more about in the news at the time.

Abstract

English is undoubtedly one of the requirements in the hotel and hospitality industry. All hotel staff are required to be able to communicate in English, especially those working in international hotels. This also applies in Indonesia where some international hotels are operating in big cities such as Jakarta. Unfortunately, only a few of the Indonesian hotel staff, including food and beverage employees, have adequate English language competence. Therefore, English training is a must for those working in the hotel industry. The present study, then, was carried out to investigate the problems and challenges of teaching English to food and beverage staff because they communicate with Indonesian and international hotel guests very often, for example, during breakfast, lunch, and, dinner. Careful observation was conducted to look into the problems and challenges, i.e., language problems, trainees’ speaking skills, and in-classroom- participation of each trainee. The findings revealed that most of the food and beverage staff could not communicate in English appropriately and accurately. They were not able to use proper expressions in particular situations with the hotel guests. Meanwhile, the challenges included the use of inappropriate ‘fossilized’ expressions. This implies that there should be solutions to overcome the problems and face the challenges of teaching English to food and beverage staff. Keywords: English, food and beverage staff, language competence

Abstract

Instructional materials created by teachers blend creativity with academic expertise. Like professional writers, teachers must communicate ideas, adapt content for their students, and keep them engaged through lesson plans, activities, and assessments. These materials are regularly updated based on student feedback, similar to how writers revise their drafts. Teachers use specialized knowledge and experience to design adequate resources that meet different learning needs. With the new K-12 Curriculum in the Philippines, teachers are increasingly seen as both instructors and creators of knowledge. This paper reviews DepEd materials and evaluation rubrics to assess how well these instructional materials work from a teacher’s perspective. Teachers can greatly improve instructional materials, boost student thinking, and enhance learning by taking on a critical role. While reviewing materials takes time, technology like AI plagiarism checkers can help speed up the process. Researchers agree that regularly updating methods and assessments is important because knowledge and insights change over time, and feedback may highlight areas for improvement. Changes in technology and society also require updates to keep materials relevant and effective. Therefore, careful evaluation is needed to choose suitable materials. Schools should support materials made by experienced educators, not just good writers. Academic boards should invest in quality assurance with dedicated revision, auditing, and editing teams to ensure ongoing quality.
