Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine more deeply the text, along with the ideological and social contexts underlying the opinion piece. This research employs a qualitative approach, using Norman Fairclough’s theoretical perspective. The findings reveal that the textual dimension contains both explicit and implicit linguistic features, indicating strong semantic content. The sentences used in the text can be categorized into two main types: declarative and interrogative sentences. In the dimension of discursive practice, the opinion piece aims to build public collective awareness so that citizens are actively involved in overseeing public policies—particularly those concerning the right to information, freedom of expression, and freedom of the press. In terms of sociocultural analysis, there is an institutional involvement of the House of Representatives (DPR) and the Indonesian Broadcasting Commission (KPI) in “intervening” in matters related to journalistic content. This raises serious concern, as a healthy, free, and responsible press is being “silenced.” If press freedom is curtailed, one of the key pillars of democracy—the press’s role in providing checks and balances—will be significantly undermined.

Abstract

Kazakh is a Turkic language with agglutinative morphology and relatively free word order. This feature makes it ideal for studying how syntax and semantics interact in language processing. Unlike languages with fixed word order, Kazakh signals semantic roles mainly through case affixes, which challenges traditional grammatical models. To investigate the interaction between syntax and semantics in Kazakh, we combined corpus-based semantic annotation with neurophysiological data. Our corpus comprises 1,200 sentences from classical Kazakh literature by Abai, Zhumabaev, and Auezov, annotated using the UCCA and PropBank frameworks, while metaphors were identified via the Metaphor Identification Procedure VU (MIPVU). Additionally, we performed a meta-analysis of 15 event-related potential (ERP) and fMRI studies on Turkic languages conducted between 2010 and 2024 to support our findings. Results show that approximately 98.3% of semantic roles (e.g., agent, patient) remain identifiable across varied word orders, demonstrating strong semantic stability despite syntactic variation. Based on these findings, we propose the Cognitive–Semantic Matching Model (CSMM), a generative-cognitive framework in which grammatical affixes and conceptual metaphors work together to support comprehension. This framework integrates generative syntax with cognitive semantics and offers insights relevant to linguistic theory, cognitive neuroscience, and natural language processing for agglutinative languages.

Abstract

This research explores the impact of the Audio-Lingual Method (ALM) on enhancing the speaking skills of eighth-grade students at SMP Negeri 1 Baranti. The study aimed to address common speaking difficulties, such as pronunciation issues, limited vocabulary, and lack of confidence, through the application of ALM techniques. A pre-experimental design was employed, with a sample of 23 students from class VIII.1, who underwent both pre-test and post-test assessments. The results indicated a significant improvement in students' speaking skills, particularly in areas of accuracy, fluency, and comprehensibility, following the implementation of the ALM over a four-week period. Statistical analysis revealed that the post-test scores were significantly higher than the pre-test scores, confirming the effectiveness of the Audio-Lingual Method in improving English speaking proficiency. The study concludes that the ALM is an effective teaching method for fostering students' speaking skills, enhancing their confidence, and encouraging active participation in the learning process.

Abstract

This study presents a narrative review of gender representation in language textbooks, examining how male and female characters are depicted across diverse educational and cultural contexts. The review aimed to identify patterns of underrepresentation, role stereotyping, and heteronormativity, as well as to explore how systemic factors shape textbook content. A systematic literature search was conducted in Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar using targeted keywords and Boolean combinations. Inclusion criteria focused on peer-reviewed studies from 2010 to 2025 that analyzed gender representation in language textbooks through content analysis, discourse analysis, or mixed methods. The findings reveal persistent gender imbalances, with men more frequently represented in professional and public domains, while women are marginalized or confined to domestic roles. Cross-national comparisons demonstrate that such disparities are more pronounced in developing countries but also persist globally, including in contexts with progressive policies. Furthermore, heteronormativity remains dominant, with LGBTQ+ identities largely absent from textbook narratives. These outcomes underscore the gap between policy commitments to gender equity and entrenched cultural, political, and religious influences in education. Addressing these challenges requires curricular reforms, stronger enforcement of gender-sensitive guidelines, and teacher training to critically engage with biased materials. Future research should broaden geographic scope, adopt intersectional perspectives, and investigate digital learning environments. By highlighting both persistent inequities and potential avenues for reform, this review emphasizes the importance of inclusive and equitable textbooks in shaping learners’ identities and opportunities.

Abstract

Language ideologies play a decisive role in shaping language policy, influencing national identity, education, minority language preservation, globalization, and systemic inequalities. This narrative review examines how ideological frameworks inform policy development across diverse contexts. Using Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar, relevant studies were identified through strategic keyword searches and evaluated based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. The analysis shows that national language policies often embody ideological commitments to unity and global competitiveness, privileging dominant or colonial languages at the expense of minority tongues. In education, policies prioritizing global languages like English can hinder equitable learning outcomes, while mother-tongue based multilingual education demonstrates significant benefits for comprehension, retention, and cultural identity. Revitalization programs in regions such as New Zealand and Latin America highlight how positive ideologies and community ownership foster minority language survival. Globalization and neoliberal ideologies further commodify language, framing it as human capital and reinforcing hierarchies that marginalize local languages. Critical studies reveal how hegemonic languages perpetuate inequality, particularly in academic and professional domains. Systemic governance factors mediate these outcomes, with decentralized and participatory models enabling more inclusive policies. Despite these insights, existing literature shows regional, methodological, and theoretical limitations, underscoring the need for broader comparative and interdisciplinary research. Overall, balancing global participation with local linguistic identities remains urgent. Sustainable reforms must prioritize multilingual education, inclusive governance, and community engagement to promote linguistic justice and cultural diversity.
