While previous studies have extensively examined the effectiveness of using context clues in reading comprehension through experimental designs, limited attention has been given to the use of context clues in the reading section as an element of the examination, particularly in the context of the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP) English Acquisition Examination in 2023. This research examines the critical role of context clues in enhancing reading comprehension, specifically within the reading section of the English Acquisition component of the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP). Through a detailed analysis of context clues across three provided texts, the findings reveal a significant disparity in their distribution. The first text employs a wide range of context clues, such as definitions, punctuation, restatements, antonyms, cause and effect relationships, hints from surrounding sentences, and word formation. In contrast, the second and third texts depend on a narrower selection of context clues, which could hinder readers' capacity to understand intricate passages and fully appreciate subtle meanings. The research suggests that future studies should explore how different distributions of context clues impact specific learner outcomes and comprehension strategies, ultimately contributing to best practices in text design for educational assessments.

English proficiency is a crucial skill in today’s globalized world; however, non-English major students at universities often receive only two credits of English courses, which is insufficient to ensure their language mastery. This limitation presents a significant challenge for both students and lecturers, requiring innovative approaches to enhance students' learning experiences. One such approach is autonomous learning, which emphasizes students’ responsibility and self-direction in the learning process. This study aims to explore lecturers' understanding of autonomous learning and how they implement it within the constraints of limited English instruction. A qualitative research design employing a case study approach was utilized. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with 14 lecturers teaching English in non-English study programs at a public university in Jambi, Indonesia. The participants included lecturers with varied backgrounds in English language teaching, providing diverse perspectives on the implementation of autonomous learning. The findings reveal that despite the emphasis on autonomy, students still require an instructor’s presence (teaching presence) to stimulate engagement and provide guidance in learning English. Two key themes emerged from the analysis: students’ sovereignty and trust in students’ exertion. Students' sovereignty refers to their freedom, independence, responsibility, and self-determination in identifying their learning needs and strategies. Meanwhile, trust in students' exertion highlights the importance of creating an atmosphere of acceptance, where students feel encouraged to take charge of their learning. This study underscores the need for a balanced approach between autonomy and instructional support to optimize English language learning. It is recommended that future research examine both lecturers’ and students’ perspectives to ensure that autonomous learning is a collaborative process rather than a unilateral expectation. Insights from this study contribute to the development of effective pedagogical strategies for promoting learner autonomy in higher education.

The limited academic attention to the ideological dimensions of diasporic poetry—particularly the works of Indonesian diaspora poets—reveals a critical gap in contemporary literary studies. This research aims to explore how poetry functions not only as an artistic expression but also as an ideological medium that articulates hybrid identities, intergenerational trauma, and resistance to dominant narratives. Using a qualitative descriptive method and a Thematic Discourse Analysis approach, this study examines how the anthology Fire Is Not A Country by Cynthia Dewi Oka constructs ideological meaning through poetic language, literary devices, and narrative structure. The analysis focuses on eight selected poems that highlight recurring themes such as identity, family, migration, and trauma, which are intricately intertwined in representing the complexity of diasporic subjectivity and critiquing hegemonic socio-political structures. The findings indicate that Oka’s lyrical strategies effectively infiltrate and challenge dominant ideologies—such as nationalism, patriarchal family expectations, and assimilationist pressures—while offering a counter-discourse that empowers marginalized communities through cultural articulation and collective healing.

This study explores the phenomenon of English use in Indonesian television advertisements, specifically analyzing the brand Kopi Good Day through a sociolinguistic approach. As globalization influences marketing strategies, the incorporation of foreign languages, particularly English, has become prevalent in Indonesia. While prior research has examined the effectiveness of foreign language advertising, there is a notable gap in understanding how this practice impacts local cultural values and consumer perceptions within Indonesia's multilingual context. The purpose of this study is to explore how attitudes and cultural identity among Indonesian audiences aged 18-35 are influenced by the use of the English language. To this effect, the present research has adopted a qualitative approach because it involves content analysis of selected Kopi Good Day advertisements and indepth interviews with around 20 to 30 individuals from various socio-economic backgrounds. The initial results show that 60% of the respondents believe that the use of the English language association makes the brand sound modern; while 30% are of the view that such an association will in due course undermine the cultural values at the local level. Another 70% said this would make the product more attractive and trendy for a younger audience, but 20% find it confusing since not everyone understands English very well. These findings testify to the greater complication in the interrelationship of global branding and local identity and point to the need for sensitivity on the part of advertisers to such dynamics. In this case, this study contributes to developing culturally sensitive advertising strategies that resonate with diverse consumer demographics in Indonesia, providing insights into how foreign language use in advertising can reflect and shape cultural identity in a rapidly globalizing society.

This study investigates the implementation of the Emancipated Curriculum (Kurikulum Merdeka) in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) instruction, focusing on the alignment between teaching syllabi and the curriculum’s pedagogical vision. The objective of this research is to evaluate the design and structure of teaching syllabi prepared by English teachers, particularly in terms of instructional strategies, assessment practices, and learner-centred approaches. Employing a qualitative method with a case study approach, data were gathered through document analysis of syllabi developed by ten English teachers and supported by semi-structured interviews. Thematic analysis and coding were used to interpret the findings. The results reveal several strengths, including the integration of diverse teaching methods and relevant learning resources. However, the study also identifies notable challenges such as limited interactive classroom activities and a lack of differentiation to support diverse learner needs. The conclusion emphasizes that while the emancipated curriculum holds substantial potential for transforming EFL instruction, its effective implementation requires ongoing teacher development, collaborative planning, and contextual adaptation to ensure its long-term success.

Since the beginning, the 2013 EFL curriculum has become a center for research in the field of language learning. This can be seen from pro and cons that surround during the implementation. At certain level, the 2013 EFL curriculum has reported facing various issues. These issues, especially, related to the use of predetermined syllabus and textbooks as the main models of learning, reduction in teaching hours, teaching approach, and the authentic assessment. Reflecting from these issues, this study tries to map the implementation of the curriculum in the classroom by appointing to Snyder et al. (1992) approach models. It is conducted by noticing Fullan’s (2007) curriculum implementation factors. The study employs a sequential exploratory method involving twenty-one EFL teachers from five different senior high schools and two hundred-thirteen students. The study reveals that there are two models of approach that are most often applied by EFL teachers. These are mutual-adaptive and fidelity approach model. Eventually, the factors that emerge need to be taken into consideration by policy makers as evaluation material for further language curriculum development.
