Abstract

The purpose of this research was to determine students' perceptions of the applying of ice breaking in learning German language, particularly in the Schriflicher Ausdruck course in Unesa's German language education major. This course is often taught teacher-centre, causing students get bored. Ice breaking technique might lessen the boredom during the learning process, so that learning can take place efficiently and effectively, restoring students' concentration and enthusiasm for learning and getting ideas for writing in the Schriflicher Ausdruck course. The research questions in this research was how students perceive the implementation of Ice Breaking in the Schriftlicher Ausdruck course. This type of research is explanatory mixed method. The research population was 36 students in the 4th semester of the German language education study program who took the Schriftlicher Ausdruck course and was also used as a sampling. The data collection method was a questionnaire and observation worksheet of ice breaking implementation techniques. Data analysis techniques use descriptive. These results depicted that students looked more active and have high curiosity. The research results showed that as many as 9 students perceived the implementation of ice breaking very well, with a percentage of 25%, 17 students perceived in the good category, with a total percentage of 47.22%, and 10 students perceived quite well with a percentage of 27.78%.

Abstract

Cyberfeminism is a phenomenon of feminist groups adapting to developments in technology, information, and communication. This phenomenon of existence is quite attractive in itself, as is how this feminist group struggles to defend their rights, especially their activities in the cyber world. The aims of this research are (1) The Rise of Women in Global Civilization, (2) Critique of Patriarchal Culture, (3) Posthuman Thinking. Posthumanism has begun to be implemented. The research method uses a qualitative type of content analysis whose data comes from five Arab feminist blog sources. This data is collected through documentation techniques and analysed using the Milles & Huberman analysis style. The results show that (1) feminist women experience development in achievements and a consistent environment for society, (2) feminist groups still carry out protests against patriarchal culture, (3) Arab feminist women can adapt to the technological, information, and communication environment in voice their arguments. This research introduces a new perspective on the critique of patriarchy, often associated with anarchic acts, demonstrations, or other threatening behaviors. Through the lens of cyberfeminism, the study highlights that criticism of patriarchal culture can be expressed positively and constructively. Data collected from various news sources illustrate actions that are appreciated by society, such as achievements, independence, and innovative breakthroughs. Consequently, this critique is no longer perceived as a threat but rather as a meaningful effort that drives change and gains broad acceptance.

Abstract

This article examines the nominalization of verbs in Bahasa Indonesia, reviews the affixes used to nominalize verbs, and considers the potential for ambiguity in their structure and meaning. This qualitative study used data from news reports on kompas.com and sindonews.com. The results show that some deverbal nouns have ambiguous structures, indicating that the same noun may be derived from both transitive and intransitive verbs, and that the same noun may also be derived from transitive verbs with different derivations. Some noun phrases may show an ambiguous relation between agent and patient. Sometimes it is difficult to decide whether the noun attached to the deverbal noun functions as an agent or a patient because of the tendency to omit the preposition between them. There are three reasons justifying why the preposition in such a construction may be omitted; the function of the prepositional phrase as an adjunct, the semantic roles of the noun and deverbal noun, and the practicality of usage

Abstract

Reading critically is a fundamental skill to be successful readers. The mental process of reading will work by seeing, analyzing, reviewing, and confirming text and context deeply. Critical reading is the    ideology of the text which follow the critical thinking rules.  The objective of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of Gallery Walk activities in teaching critical reading to the fourth-semester students in Universitas Muhammadiyah Makassar. This study employed a pre-experimental research design to measure the effectiveness of Gallery Walk activities in improving students’ critical reading comprehension. Pre-tests and post-tests were administered to collect the data, which were then analysed using quantitative methods. The primary instrument used in this research was a critical reading comprehension achievement test designed to measure three components of critical reading skills. The findings of the study indicated that students’ critical reading comprehension prior to the implementation of Gallery Walk activities was at a relatively low level, as indicated by the pre-test mean score of 58.06. After the implementation of the Gallery Walk activities, the students demonstrated a substantial improvement in their critical reading comprehension, with the post-test mean score increasing to 86.94. Furthermore, the paired-samples t-test analysis showed a statistically significant difference between the pre-test and post-test scores (t = 25.044, p < 0.05), indicating that the implementation of Gallery Walk activities significantly built students’ critical reading comprehension in the EFL classroom. The implementation of Gallery Walk activities enhances students’ critical thinking skills through active participation in joyful and meaningful learning processes

Abstract

Despite the popularity of Sabine Kuegler’s novel Dschungelkind, little attention has been paid to how Papua and the Fayu tribe are represented and whether such representations reproduce or challenge colonial discourse. Therefore, this research aims to describe how Papua is portrayed in Sabine Kuegler’s novel Dschungelkind through Carl Thompson's Travel Writing framework. This study employed a qualitative descriptive method by analyzing textual data that explicitly or implicitly reflect the dimensions of reporting the world, revealing the self, and representing others. Data were collected through survey reading, focused reading, and verification reading, while reliability was ensured through both intrarater and interrater procedures. The findings reveal that this novel presents the world through both objective and subjective depictions. Objective depictions appear in descriptions of climate, flora, fauna, and food, whereas subjective depictions dominate descriptions of Papua’s landscapes, social interactions, health issues, and Fayu traditions. In the dimension of revealing the self, the author presents herself as a romantic self and shows her process of discovering the value of humanism within herself through her interactions with Papuan nature and the Fayu tribe. The representation of the other, the Fayu tribe (East) is not portrayed as inferior to Sabine (West). Instead, the novel adopts a cosmopolitan perspective characterized by empathy, awareness of equality, and the exchange of values. These findings suggest that Dschungelkind challenges conventional Eurocentric tendencies in travel literature and offers a more egalitarian framework for modern cross-cultural narratives.

Abstract

Maritime English plays a pivotal role in ensuring safety and operational efficiency in global maritime communication, aligning with International Maritime Organization’s (IMO) standardized linguistic framework. The emergence of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in higher education requires a pedagogical shift from conventional language instruction toward AI-integrated Maritime English learning. The unit of analysis in this study comprises empirical and conceptual research articles, while Scopus and SINTA serve as the primary databases for article retrieval. Additional supporting studies from DOAJ and conference proceedings were included only after relevance screening to broaden contextual coverage. Following a PRISMA-guided review, 48 articles published between 2017 and 2025 were screened, resulting in 22 eligible studies for thematic synthesis. The review critically identifies three major themes: (1) early adoption of AI-supported learning tools such as VR simulators, AI chatbots, and automated feedback systems; (2) limited pedagogical integration of AI competencies into Maritime English curricula; and (3) increasing awareness of ethical AI use in maritime education. The findings reveal that current implementation remains technologically oriented rather than pedagogically grounded, particularly in critical thinking, ethical reasoning, and AI-assisted communication competencies. This study contributes a conceptual framework that synthesizes UNESCO AI competencies with Maritime English pedagogy to support curriculum innovation in maritime higher education, particularly in Indonesia and comparable educational contexts.

Abstract

This study examines how lecturers and students discursively construct generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) as either a threat or a partner in higher education, and how these competing stances are legitimized in everyday academic communication. Guided by Critical Discourse Analysis, the study analyzes 124 GenAI-relevant statements (74 spoken; 50 written) drawn from assignment briefings, classroom discussions, consultation meetings, LMS announcements, rubric explanations, emails, and class-group chats in a bounded university context. Polarization was coded as Threat, Partner, or Hybrid/Ambivalent, while legitimation strategies were traced using Theo van Leeuwen's framework (authorization, moral evaluation, rationalization, and mythopoesis), complemented by discursive legitimation perspectives. Findings show that Threat-oriented statements (n=52) slightly outnumber Partner-oriented statements (n=35), with Hybrid "allowed, but…" regulation (n=37) functioning as the dominant mechanism for stabilizing norms under uncertainty. Threat talk occurs during high-stakes assessment moments and is commonly legitimized through authorization (rules, rubrics, sanctions) and moral evaluation (fairness, honesty), often reinforced by cautionary narratives. Partner talk becomes more salient in formative learning episodes and is primarily legitimized through rationalization that frames GenAI as scaffolding for brainstorming, outlining, summarizing, and language polishing, while reasserting student responsibility for accuracy and voice. Across stances, the central legitimacy struggle concerns accountability, who remains responsible for claims, originality, and transparency when GenAI is involved alongside student anxiety produced by inconsistent boundaries across courses. The study argues that sustainable governance requires clearer communicative templates, process-oriented assessment evidence (draft trails, reflective logs, brief oral explanations), and careful use of detection tools only as triggers for follow-up review to protect fairness and trust.

Abstract

This article examines Dewi Anggraeni’s Journeys through Shadows as a literary portrayal of Indonesian women’s diasporic experience in Australia. The problem addressed in this study is the limited critical attention given to the relationship between diasporic identity, gendered power, cultural displacement, and indigenous Javanese spirituality in Indonesian-Australian migrant narratives. This study aims to analyze how the novel represents Maryati’s search for home, identity, and belonging within the unequal social and cultural space of migration. Using qualitative textual analysis and close reading, the study examines the novel’s narrative structure, characterization, language, imagery, and recurring motifs through postcolonial, feminist postcolonial, diaspora, decolonial, and cultural identity perspectives. The findings show that Maryati’s diasporic identity is shaped by linguistic alienation, limited social power, gendered dependency, spiritual displacement, and psychological trauma. The novel does not present her identity as fixed or fully assimilated, but as caught between Javanese cultural memory and Australian social expectations. Javanese spiritual practices, such as tuyul and sesajen, appear as forms of cultural continuity and quiet resistance rather than as superstition or exotic background. Maryati’s marriage also reveals how gender, race, language, and respectability affect the agency and vulnerability of migrant women. The implication of this study is that Journeys through Shadows contributes to Southeast Asian diasporic literary studies by showing that diaspora should not be read only as geographical displacement, but also as a cultural, emotional, gendered, and epistemological struggle

Abstract

EFL lecturers face a critical challenge: AI tools are reshaping classroom authority and professional identity faster than institutions can support teacher adaptation. This study examines how AI tools function as reflective catalysts that trigger transformative learning among EFL lecturers in Indonesian higher education. Using narrative inquiry, ten EFL lecturers from five universities in North Sumatra participated in a sixteen-week study during 2024. Data were gathered through three rounds of semi-structured interviews, weekly reflective journals, and classroom observations. Participants, with teaching experience ranging from 5 to 18 years, regularly used ChatGPT, Grammarly, and Google Translate. Unlike prior studies that position teachers as mere implementers of technology, this study foregrounds teacher identity and agency as central to AI integration outcomes. The findings reveal four patterns: AI consistently disrupted routine practices, most visibly in assessment and feedback, reducing average teacher talk time from 65% to 40% and prompting seven lecturers to shift toward inquiry-based learning. Reflective episodes emerged most sharply when AI feedback contradicted teacher judgments, producing three identity responses: empowerment, vulnerability, and identity reconstruction. These findings extend Mezirow's transformative learning theory into real-time, technology-mediated classroom practice and demonstrate that successful AI integration requires institutional support for teacher identity negotiation, rather than solely technical training.

Abstract

Sharenting among Muslim momfluencers has emerged as a significant social phenomenon, often blending parenting documentation with Islamic values through religious linguistic codes. This study analyzes the use of terms, phrases, and symbols rooted in Islamic teachings within sharenting content on Instagram. Using a sociolinguistic approach, the research explores how verbal elements construct religious identity while simultaneously engaging a digital audience. Data were collected via digital observation of a Muslim momfluencer’s Instagram content, focusing on the intersection of religious values, motherhood, and daily life. The analysis examines captions containing Quranic verses, hadiths, prayers, and Islamic terminology to identify how these codes are delivered and influenced by socio-cultural contexts. The findings reveal that religious linguistic codes are used strategically to convey Islamic values, establish emotional connections, and enhance the influencer’s religious persona. Beyond mere expression, these codes serve as an effective branding method to attract like-minded Muslim audiences. Complemented by visual cues such as syar'i attire and symbols of worship, sharenting becomes a performative medium for promoting religious narratives and generating social capital. This research provides critical insights into the evolving relationship between language, religion, and parenting in the social media era.
