Abstract

This research endeavors to investigate the impact of reflection and self-analysis on the cultivation of academic presentation skills among students enrolled in Indonesian language study programs. Pedagogical approaches integrating reflection and self-analysis are integrated into the curriculum to enhance students’ presentation competencies. Data were gathered through self-reflection forms and presentation performance assessments from a cohort of 110 students before and after the intervention. The findings evince a notable enhancement in students' presentation skills subsequent to the intervention, characterized by a discernible augmentation in self-confidence, proficiency in presentation structuring, and adeptness in addressing queries. The ensuing discourse on the interpretation of the results underscores the pivotal role of reflection and self-analysis in fostering presentation skills development, while also delineating a research lacuna pertaining to comprehending this role within an intercultural context. These findings yield pragmatic implications for facilitating comprehensive and enduring learning outcomes for students within higher education environments.

Abstract

This study aims to compare the usage of metaphors containing the term “anak” or “child” in both Indonesian and English. Analyzing data from various textual sources, prevalent metaphors in both languages were identified. Despite some similarities, significant differences exist in their usage and interpretation. Examples include “Anak Buah/Subordinate”, “Anak Lokal/Native”, “Anak Panah/arrow, “Anak Perusahaan/subsidiary company”, “Suku Anak Dalam/tribal people”, Anak Sumpit/Arrowhead Archery, and “Anak Tangga/Staircase.” These metaphors are deeply ingrained not only in linguistic structures but also in the collective values, beliefs, and experiences of the societies where the languages are spoken. Indonesian metaphors often reflect cultural values like unity and interaction with nature, while English metaphors may portray individualism or technology. Understanding these cultural distinctions is crucial for effective cross-cultural communication.

Abstract

Distance second language learning has emerged as a growing concern within higher education settings, particularly in light of challenges posed by a global pandemic such as COVID-19. This study endeavors to investigate students’ perspectives on distance second language learning and the factors impacting said perspectives. The research was carried out via a survey involving students enrolled in various English study programs across multiple universities in Indonesia. Data gathering methods comprised questionnaires and interviews, focusing on facets including social support, flexibility of scheduling, and integration of technology in the learning process. Findings from the study indicate that students generally hold favorable views towards distance second language learning, notwithstanding several obstacles such as technical issues and a preference for traditional face-to-face instruction. The implication of this research underscores the significance of fortifying social support structures and enhancing technology integration in distance learning to enhance student learning experiences.

Abstract

Manga, or Japanese comics, have garnered immense popularity in Indonesia, appealing to readers of all ages with their diverse fictional narratives. Across genres like action, romance, comedy, and supernatural, manga portrays a myriad of characters and scenarios, from lone male protagonists to shy girls exploring romantic dynamics. Yet, amidst its widespread appeal, manga often depicts female characters as mere sexual objects, sparking scholarly inquiry into their representation. Through Roland Barthes’ semiotic lens, researchers dissect the portrayal of women in various manga genres, uncovering prevalent ideologies. While women exude body confidence, they are frequently subjected to sexual exploitation by male characters, ranging from intimate gestures to harassment. This pervasive depiction reinforces the objectification of women, normalizing harmful behaviors within manga narratives, prompting critical examination of gender dynamics in popular culture.

Abstract

Various opinions exist regarding the use of smartphones and their effects on children's language acquisition. While some suggest that smartphones can positively influence learning habits and language skills, others argue they may have negative consequences. To explore this issue, a correlational study was conducted to assess the relationship between smartphone usage, self-directed learning (SDL), and foreign language acquisition (FLA). A questionnaire with 12 Likert-scale questions was administered to 29 parents of children aged 5 to 7 years. Following the collection and quantification of the data through correlation analysis, the researcher discovered that, although there was no significant correlation between smartphone usage and either SDL or FLA, a meaningful and significant relationship was identified between SDL and FLA. This finding suggests that children who exhibit effective self-directed learning behaviors are likely to achieve optimal outcomes in foreign language acquisition.

Abstract

This study examines the use of language markers in digital communication among Generation Z in Indonesia, focusing on their functions and socio-cultural implications. Using a qualitative approach, the research analyzed data from document observations, semi-structured interviews, and focus group discussions. Data analysis involved four stages: data reduction, contextual analysis, triangulation, and interpretation. The findings show that markers like “so,” “then,” “maybe,” and “I guess” serve functions such as enhancing politeness, clarifying messages, and fostering familiarity. These markers also reflect globalization’s influence, cultural values of politeness and inclusiveness, and Generation Z’s digital norms. The study illustrates how linguistic choices shape social identity, highlighting language markers’ role in effective communication. The results offer valuable insights into Generation Z’s communication practices and implications for cross-cultural and intergenerational dialogue in digital spaces

Abstract

This study examines expressive illocutionary speech acts in Mindblowon's Tahilalats comic on Instagram using a descriptive qualitative research method. The findings identify 122 instances of expressive illocutionary speech acts, which are classified into seven categories: gratitude (24 instances), criticism (116 instances), sympathy (15 instances), praise (16 instances), greetings (21 instances), blaming (9 instances), and apologies (21 instances).  Criticism emerges as the most dominant speech act, reflecting the characteristic use of sarcastic humor and social satire in Tahilalats comics. In contrast, blaming is the least frequent speech act, suggesting a tendency to avoid direct confrontation. This study demonstrates that Tahilalats comics effectively employ expressive illocutionary speech acts to establish emotional connections between characters and readers.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the forms of linguistic politeness exhibited by tenth-grade students during Indonesian language learning interactions at SMA Negeri 1 Tomini. Employing a descriptive qualitative approach and grounded in Geoffrey Leech’s theory of politeness maxims, the research identified six types of maxims reflected in student utterances: tact, generosity, approbation, modesty, agreement, and sympathy. Data were collected through observation, documentation, interviews, and a listening-note technique. The findings reveal that politeness is an integral aspect of student communication in the classroom and plays a significant role in fostering a harmonious, cooperative, and respectful learning environment. Furthermore, the use of polite language is influenced by students’ social surroundings and family backgrounds. This study underscores the importance of reinforcing politeness values in educational settings and contributes to the development of language learning grounded in pragmatic principles.
