Abstract

This bibliometric study explores the trends and patterns in writing assessment research conducted in Indonesia between 2013 and 2024. Employing a systematic approach, data were collected from Scopus and Google Scholar databases using targeted keywords related to writing assessment and the Indonesian EFL context. One hundred twenty-three publications meeting the inclusion criteria were analyzed using bibliometric tools such as VOSviewer to visualize thematic clusters, publication productivity, and collaboration networks. The findings reveal a steady increase in research output, especially after introducing major educational reforms like Kurikulum 2013 and Merdeka Belajar. Key thematic areas identified include formative assessment practices, integrating technology and AI-based writing feedback tools, rubric development aligned with national qualification frameworks, and assessing higher-order thinking skills. Collaboration analysis shows a growing network of researchers and institutions contributing to improving writing assessment knowledge in Indonesia. Despite these advances, gaps remain in methodological diversity, dissemination in local languages, and stronger links between research and classroom practice. The study highlights the need for enhanced professional development and policy support to foster effective, context-sensitive writing assessment practices. Limitations include potential exclusion of grey literature and the evolving nature of citation metrics. Recommendations for future research emphasize mixed-method approaches, expanded data sources, and closer researcher-practitioner collaboration. This study offers valuable insights for scholars, educators, and policymakers aiming to improve writing assessment frameworks and ultimately enhance students’ writing competence in Indonesian EFL settings.

Abstract

This study analyses the transformation of the traditional three-act narrative structure (introduction–confrontation–resolution) in digital storytelling content on the YouTube platform, focusing on seven stories adapted from classic fairy tales (The Wind and the Sun, The Little Red Hen, The Bird and the Whale, The Three Little Pigs, Beauty and the Beast, The Ugly Duckling, and Jack and the Beanstalk). The research uncovered three main findings through a descriptive qualitative approach and narrative analysis. First, the three-act structure remains the dominant framework, but undergoes creative adaptations such as duration compaction (3-10 minutes), the use of instant hooks, and multimedia integration (animation, sound effects) to suit the needs of digital platforms. Second, the variation in conflict in the confrontation round is divided into physical (44%), emotional (29%), and moral (27%) conflicts, which encourage character transformation through physical (100%), moral (83%), and social (71%) dimensions. Third, digital innovations such as narrative visuals (72%), interactivity (38%), musicalization (65%), and non-linearity of plot (27%) revolutionize storytelling without abandoning the essence of traditional narratives. The theoretical implications of the research include the need for a hybrid analytical framework that combines classical narratives with the characteristics of digital media, while the practical implications confirm the effectiveness of YouTube content for language learning (78% higher than conventional texts) and guidance for creators in designing adaptive storytelling strategies. In conclusion, traditional structures are irreplaceable, but are evolving through flexibility and technical innovation, proving their resilience in a dynamic digital media ecosystem.

Abstract

Street toponymy represents a form of naming that encapsulates social, political, and cultural memory within public spaces. In Kupang City, street names function not only as locational markers but also as symbols of collective identity, historical traces, and representations of power. This study aims to uncover the social, historical, and ideological meanings embedded in the street names of Kupang City through a sociolinguistic approach. The research employs a qualitative-descriptive method, with data collected through documentation and interviews. The findings indicate that street naming practices in Kupang reflect social power dynamics, honor significant historical figures, and symbolize local cultural values. The street names fall into various categories, including National and Local Figures, Historical Events, Local or Ethnic Names, Natural and Geographical Features, and Religious References. This article argues that street names serve as spatial narratives that “speak” about who is honored, what values are commemorated, and which collective memories are preserved in urban society. The study contributes significantly to the toponymic scholarship in Eastern Indonesia, particularly in Kupang City. It strengthens the critical sociolinguistic perspective by highlighting street naming as a representation of power, identity, and collective memory, while also promoting interdisciplinary inquiry and a deeper understanding of public space as a symbolic socio-cultural domain.

Abstract

This study examines the dynamics of language shift and maintenance in Timor-Leste, focusing on the Tetun language. Tetun, as the co-official language alongside Portuguese, plays a key role in national identity and daily communication. However, challenges arise due to globalization, educational reforms, and the growing influence of Portuguese and English, especially among youth and in formal domains such as schools and public administration. Despite its official status, Tetun's vitality is increasingly questioned. This study aims to investigate how language policies, societal attitudes, and institutional practices affect the use and transmission of Tetun across generations. Using a mixed-methods approach, this study combines qualitative and quantitative data from surveys, interviews, and observations in educational and community contexts. Findings show that while Tetun remains strong in informal settings, it faces marginalization in formal domains due to the dominance of Portuguese and insufficient institutional support. The results highlight a mismatch between policy recognition and practical implementation. This study concludes that effective language maintenance requires culturally rooted and community-driven strategies. It contributes to the broader understanding of language policy in post-colonial multilingual societies and provides practical insights for sustaining indigenous languages like Tetun amid shifting sociolinguistic conditions
