Abstract

This study presents a structural and semantic analysis of English loanwords in Mandarin on Weibo. Although previous research has extensively investigated phonological adaptation and etymological origins, the structural patterns and semantic meanings of English loanwords in Mandarin in digital communication remain underexplored. This study aims to describe the structural formation based on Xing's classification and denotative/connotative meanings based on Barthes' semiotic framework. A qualitative descriptive approach was employed. Data were collected from Weibo posts in the fourth quarter of 2025 through non-participatory observation and web scraping, resulting in 150 English loanwords in Mandarin for analysis. The findings reveal three structural patterns. Full phonetic translation dominates, followed by phonetic translation with a Mandarin morpheme, while mixed sound-meaning translation occurs least often. This distribution indicates that phonological adaptation is the primary strategy for loanword formation on social media. Regarding meaning, connotative meaning was identified through contextual analysis of metaphorical, slang, or culturally charged expressions within each post, such as 披萨 (pīsà/pizza) used to express romantic feelings in fan community posts. Denotative meaning was assigned when the loanword referred literally to its dictionary definition. Denotative use is more prevalent than connotative use, suggesting that Weibo users primarily employ loanwords for referential purposes. Connotative meanings, though fewer, are significant as they demonstrate creative repurposing for emotional and cultural expression. The study contributes to Mandarin language teaching by showing how English loanwords can serve as accessible vocabulary and how understanding connotation helps learners grasp cultural nuances in digital communication.

Abstract

This study investigates multilingualism and code-switching practices among English Department students across three communication domains: home, campus, and social media. Students in Indonesia regularly interact in multiple languages, Indonesian, English, and regional languages yet limited research explores how these linguistic resources are managed across different social contexts. This study aims to describe (1) how students employ multilingualism and code-switching in their daily communication, and (2) what factors influence their language choices across these domains. Using a descriptive qualitative design, data were collected through open-ended questionnaires and semi-structured interviews with undergraduate English Department students. Participants were selected through purposive sampling, and data were analyzed thematically to identify recurring patterns of language use and switching functions. Findings reveal that students display domain-dependent multilingual behaviour. At home, regional languages and Indonesian are dominant due to family norms and cultural identity. On campus, Indonesian is primarily used for peer interaction, while English appears in academic tasks and lecturer communication. On social media, students frequently mix Indonesian and English for stylistic purposes, identity expression, and wider audience engagement. Code-switching functions include clarifying meaning, maintaining conversational flow, expressing identity, and adapting to interlocutors. Language choice is further shaped by context, topic, proficiency, and social relationships. Overall, the study shows that students use their linguistic repertoire flexibly rather than separating languages into fixed systems. These findings contribute to understanding multilingual behaviour in higher education and highlight code-switching as a meaningful communicative strategy in academic and digital contexts.

Abstract

This qualitative descriptive study explores how English teachers apply vocabulary teaching strategies in EFL classrooms at the junior secondary level. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with three experienced English teachers at SMP Negeri 1 Wasuponda, South Sulawesi, Indonesia. The findings reveal that teachers employed a diverse repertoire of strategies encompassing de-contextualizing (word lists, flashcards, dictionary use), semi-contextualizing (word grouping, association, imagery, keyword method, physical response, semantic mapping), fully contextualizing (reading, listening, speaking, writing), and adaptable approaches (structured reviewing). These strategies were implemented through both planned instruction—deliberate preparation of materials and activities—and incidental teaching, in which teachers spontaneously explained unfamiliar words arising during classroom interaction. Although implementation varied according to individual preferences and contextual demands, the integration of multiple strategies effectively supported students’ vocabulary acquisition, retention, and meaningful use. The study underscores the pedagogical value of flexible, layered strategies in resource-variable multilingual settings and carries important implications for teacher professional development, curriculum design aligned with Indonesia’s Merdeka Curriculum, and policy initiatives that promote strategic sequencing and learner autonomy in outer-circle EFL contexts.

Abstract

This study investigates whether 3D animation media increase deaf students’ interest in learning English at SLB Negeri 1 Makassar. The study was motivated by the persistent difficulty of delivering English input to deaf learners through conventional verbal explanation and static print materials. Because deaf students depend strongly on visual access, learning media that combine movement, imagery, contextualized vocabulary, and sign-supported explanation are expected to attract attention and sustain engagement more effectively. The study employed a pre-experimental group design. Ten eleventh-grade deaf students participated in the study. Data were collected through a Likert-scale questionnaire administered before and after the treatment. The treatment consisted of English lessons supported by 3D animated videos and animated films, accompanied by guided questioning and sign language practice. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. The findings indicate a meaningful increase in students’ interest in learning after the intervention. The mean score rose from 87.40 before the treatment to 103.30 after the treatment, while the significance value of 0.018 showed a statistically significant difference between the two measurements. The score distribution also shifted from neutral responses toward interested and strongly interested categories. These findings suggest that 3D animation media can make English instruction more visually accessible, engaging, and motivating for deaf learners. The study contributes practical evidence that visually rich media can support inclusive English pedagogy in special-school contexts and may serve as an alternative instructional resource for teachers working with deaf students.

Abstract

The research aimed to analyze improvements in English vocabulary mastery among eighth-grade students through game-based learning using the Tic-Tac-Toe. One of the fundamental elements in learning the target language, English as a Foreign Language (EFL), is vocabulary, but quite often junior high school students are not able to identify words by their meanings or word classes, or even use them properly in simple communicative contexts. This research used a one–group pre–test–post–test design involving 30 VIII students from a Junior High School in Gowa Regency, Indonesia. The rationale for selecting these participants is based on preliminary classroom observations indicating that these students need extra assistance with vocabulary acquisition. A teacher-made vocabulary test consisting of multiple-choice and fill-in-the-blank vocabulary assessment was administered prior to the start of and following 6 Tic-Tac-Toe meetings. The intervention only included nouns, verbs, and adjectives from words referring to topics with which students already had some familiarity. The results showed that the overall mean score increased from 34.50 on the pre-test to 80.50 on the post-test, with gains that take on greater meaning when examining nouns, verbs, and adjectives, respectively. At the level, the t-test value (5.51) was greater than the t-table value (2.045). 05 significance level, suggesting a statistically sound improvement. This analysis demonstrates that Tic-Tac-Toe can serve as an affordable and interactive classroom strategy to reinforce vocabulary mastery, especially when teachers are seeking non-digitally dependent, offline learning activities.

Abstract

Writing remains one of the most demanding productive skills for EFL learners in Indonesian secondary schools, where instruction has traditionally been teacher-centered and insufficiently supported by meaningful technology integration. This Classroom Action Research (CAR) study examines how ICT-based learning affects the writing skills of eleventh-grade students at SMA Negeri 2 Pagar Alam, South Sumatra. A mixed-methods design was applied across two action research cycles, each covering three instructional meetings followed by a writing assessment. The 25 student participants were evaluated on five writing componentscontent development, organization, grammar, vocabulary, and mechanics using an analytic rubric adapted from Jacobs et al. (1981). Quantitative data came from pre-test and post-test scores, while qualitative data were drawn from observation checklists and field notes. Results showed that the overall class mean rose from 57.44 at pre-test to 67.70 after Cycle I and reached 77.22 after Cycle II, a total gain of 19.78 points. The student passing rate climbed from 12% at pre-test to 80% at the conclusion of Cycle II, surpassing the 75% threshold required for the study to be considered successful. Qualitative findings pointed to stronger student participation, more consistent use of ICT tools, and a gradual shift toward process-oriented writing behavior. These outcomes suggest that a carefully scaffolded, multi-tool ICT approach integrating Google Docs, Canva, and Grammarly within a process writing framework can meaningfully improve EFL writing competence at the secondary school level.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the forms of resilience exhibited by the main character in the film Farha (2021) by Darin J. Sallam, as well as to examine how the film’s intrinsic elements work together to construct the meaning of that resilience. This film was selected because it depicts the traumatic experiences of a Palestinian teenage girl living amidst the 1948 Nakba tragedy, while also showcasing the protagonist’s struggle in facing psychological pressure, fear, and alienation during the war.  This study was conducted by integrating Wellek and Warren’s structuralism with Michael Ungar’s multisystemic resilience theory. The research method used is qualitative descriptive, with research data consisting of scenes, conflicts, and visual elements that demonstrate the main character’s resilience process. Data was collected through the watch and note technique by watching the film repeatedly, then selecting scenes relevant to the research focus. The results of the analysis show that the character Farha’s resilience is constructed through three main forms adaptive negotiation, ecological resilience, and meaning-making, which evolve alongside changes in the conflict and the character’s psychological state. Additionally, intrinsic elements such as characterization, plot, setting, conflict, and visual symbols such as confined spaces and the sky play a crucial role in reinforcing the portrayal of the protagonist’s resilience.  Through this approach, the researcher asserts that resilience in the film Farha is a process of adaptation and transformation rooted in the character’s inner strength and the social and cultural values that underpin it, thereby enriching film studies through an interdisciplinary approach that bridges literary structuralism and contemporary psychosocial perspectives.

Abstract

This research aimed to investigate the effectiveness of the Semantic Mapping Technique in improving students’ writing ability of procedure text at a vocational high school. This research employed a quantitative method using a quasi-experimental design involving an experimental class and a control class. The population of this research consisted of tenth-grade students at SMK Darussalam Makassar in the academic year 2025/2026. The sample consisted of 42 students divided into two classes, namely 21 students in the experimental class and 21 students in the control class. The instrument used was a writing test in the form of a pre-test and a post-test. The data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics with the assistance of SPSS version 25. The results showed that the mean score of the experimental class improved from 70.24 in the pre-test to 91.00 in the post-test, while the control class improved from 76.05 to 84.10. The result of the independent samples t-test showed that the significance value (Sig. 2-tailed) was lower than 0.05, indicating that there was a significant difference between students taught using the Semantic Mapping Technique and those taught using conventional teaching techniques. Therefore, the Semantic Mapping Technique was effective in improving students’ writing ability of procedure text, particularly in organizing ideas, arranging procedural steps systematically, and developing vocabulary.

Abstract

Mastering the simple past tense is a significant challenge for English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners, often due to the limitations of traditional, teacher-centered instructional methods. This study investigates the effect of Wayground, the latest evolution of the Quizizz platform, as a digital learning medium to improve students' understanding of the simple past tense. A quasi-experimental design was employed with 65 tenth-grade students, who were divided into an experimental group (n = 35) and a control group (n = 30). Data were collected through pre- and post-tests and analyzed using nonparametric statistical measures: the Wilcoxon signed-rank test and the Mann–Whitney U test. The results revealed a statistically significant difference in learning outcomes favoring the gamified intervention (p = 0.000). Despite individual learning variances, the findings confirm that Wayground fosters a highly interactive and motivating environment that significantly accelerates grammatical competence. These results suggest that integrating modern gamification tools can effectively overcome learning constraints and substantially improve structural grammar pedagogy in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) context.

Abstract

This study identified the syntactic deviations and semantic oddities in the song lyrics of the Pictures of Mountains album by Cody Fry. The lyrics of the songs were pleasant to listen to. However, there were some intentional deviations, which could catch the listeners’ attention. In order to explore that phenomenon, this research employed qualitative content analysis to analyze the lyrics of eleven songs in the Pictures of Mountains album. One song out of twelve was not included as the object of this research due to the absence of lyrics in it. The analysis revealed that this album showed two types of syntactic deviations. Those were 44 instances of omission and 2 types of addition, which varied from parts of speech, clauses, and particles. Nevertheless, misordering and misformation, as other types of syntactic deviations, did not appear in the album. On the other hand, 10 occurrences paradox and an example pleonasm recognized as forms of semantic oddities in the album. Meanwhile, periphrasis and oxymoron were nonexistent in all the song lyrics of the mentioned album. The findings of this research contribute to linguistic study by pointing out how syntactic deviations and semantic oddities serve as intentional linguistic variations in song lyrics. Moreover, it offers new insights on the contributions of the songwriter’s works to the discussion about language and its creativity. Lastly, it serves as proof that linguistic phenomena vary across literary works, such that language can be modified to enhance the unique expression and emotional portrayal.
