Abstract

This current research scrutinized the implementation of collaborative writing on Padlet to enhance students' coherence in writing paragraph and their engagement in the learning process. This current research employed a quasi-experimental one-group pretest-posttest design and a descriptive qualitative approach to examine students' learning processes and interactions. Twenty-five first-year college students at one of the private universities in Indonesia who joined a writing paragraphs course. Quantitative data were gathered via paragraph-writing assessments and analyzed using paired-samples t-tests, whilst qualitative data were collected through observations, questionnaires, and student reflections. According to the study, students' paragraph coherence greatly improved, with mean scores rising from 68.40 to 81.24 (p < 0.05). Additionally, throughout the six-week intervention, engagement data showed a significant shift toward more content-focused peer criticism, as well as increased participation in posting, commenting, and editing activities. The results show that lines written in groups on Padlet are easier to understand and that students are more interested in writing in English as a second language. However, since this study employed a one-group design without a control group, the findings should be interpreted cautiously. Future studies are needed to further the effectiveness of Padlet-based collaborative writing in improving students’ coherence and engagement through more rigorous experimental designs.

Abstract

Research proposals (RP) require concurrence of clarity, logic, and persuasive arguments in presenting knowledge and justifying research. However, lack of comprehensive research on argumentation performance presented in RPs and the influential factors in argument development. To fill the gap, this research involved thirty-one EFL university-students in Indonesia through a questionnaire, textual analysis of the RPs, and semi-structured interview. This study reveals a diverse range of argumentation performances when constructing RPs. Most students demonstrated competent argumentation performance with clear claims and evidence, a smaller number struggled with in-depth analysis. Cognitive/metacognitive process and communicative competence with critical thinking emerged as key strengths, but areas like enculturation practicing and reasoning require further development. Interview data highlighted the interconnectedness of academic knowledge, cognitive abilities, and personal factors in shaping argumentation skills.

Abstract

This study investigates the workings of hegemony in Rio Johan’s post-apocalyptic novel Buanglah Hajat pada Tempatnya (Dispose of Waste in Its Proper Place). Guided by Antonio Gramsci’s theory of hegemony and the conventions of post-apocalyptic literature, the research asks how power is negotiated and sustained in a dystopian society. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, the study highlights the role of organic intellectuals, represented by Pak Tua (the Old Man) and Si Bocah (the Boy), in transmitting ideology to a community of survivors. The findings reveal that hegemony in this narrative emerges through everyday practices surrounding a single functional toilet and oral traditions within a waiting line. While the research contributes a new perspective by linking hegemony to post-apocalyptic settings—an underexplored area—its scope is limited to the analysis of a single text or novel.

Abstract

Developmental Language Disorder (DLD) is a prevalent yet underrecognized neurodevelopmental condition that affects children's expressive and receptive language skills. This study explores pragmatic communication difficulties in children with DLD using a clinical-pragmatic framework to inform assessment and intervention. A qualitative case study was conducted with three children aged 6 to 8 years diagnosed with DLD. Data were gathered through naturalistic observations, semi-structured interviews with caregivers and therapists, and video recordings of classroom and playtime interactions. Analysis followed Cummings’ clinical pragmatics model, focusing on speech acts, turn-taking, topic coherence, contextual relevance, and responses to indirect communication. Findings indicate a dominance of directive speech acts, reduced narrative coherence, delayed turn-taking, and limited understanding of indirect speech. Children frequently relied on nonverbal cues such as gestures and prosody to support meaning. The study highlights the need for multimodal interventions that integrate structural language development with pragmatic training. These findings offer implications for clinicians, educators, and researchers in designing ecologically valid, socially responsive interventions for children with DLD.

Abstract

Sometimes people easily judge other people’s suffering as a single traumatic event without realizing that trauma can shape the victims’ identity and emotional ability. Thus, this study aims to identify the main character, Eva’s imbalanced personality, its types, and the impacts of trauma on her mental health and well-being as seen in Lynne Ramsay’s We Need to Talk About Kevin (2011) movie. This study applied Sigmund Freud's psychoanalysis theory (1923) to answer the research objectives, focusing on the structural model of the psyche and its relation to Eva’s traumatic experiences. This qualitative research uses Lynne Ramsay’s movie entitled We Need to Talk About Kevin, published in 2011 by BBC Films, as the data source. The data were in the form of scenes and dialogues related to (1) the nature of the main character Eva’s imbalanced personality, (2) the types of traumas experienced by her, particularly in relation to her son Kevin, and (3) the impacts of the trauma on Eva’s psychological and overall well-being. The researchers were the primary instrument of this study, conducting a close reading of the movie and analyzing the data through a psychoanalytic lens. The results of this study reveal that the main character's personality is dominated by her superego, which leads her to have acute, chronic, and complex traumas.These traumas resulted in PTSD, emotional distress, dissociation, and physical symptoms. Therefore, through the lens of Freud’s psychoanalysis, combined with the trauma theory and film analysis, this study uncovers that someone’s suffering should be seen as an ongoing psychological process. Moreover, this study shows that psychoanalytic theory can be applied to film, which then broadens the scope of psychoanalytic literary criticism.

Abstract

This study examines the lexical and structural challenges faced by EFL (English as a Foreign Language) students in writing narrative texts in English. The study was conducted at SMA Negeri 1 Poco Ranaka, a high school located in the rural area of East Nusa Tenggara. The method used is qualitative descriptive with analytical techniques based on Jacobs' writing assessment rubric, which covers five aspects: content, organization, vocabulary, grammar, and mechanics. The results showed that errors in the use of vocabulary (44%) and grammar (50%) were the most dominant problems, followed by weaknesses in the organizational aspects and mechanics of writing. These errors reflect the limited lexical and grammatical mastery of students, as well as the negative influence of the mother tongue and the lack of exposure to authentic English use. This research confirms that writing skills should be understood as a complex process of negotiating meaning, not just a technical skill that can be acquired through mere repetition. These findings also emphasize the importance of contextual, adaptive, and needs-based approaches to writing learning, especially in areas with limited access to education

Abstract

This study explores how gender identity is encoded through word formation in culinary naming, focusing on dessert names from Season 14 of MasterChef Australia. Employing a socio-onomastic and corpus-based mixed-method approach, the study analyzes linguistic patterns in the naming of desserts by male and female contestants across 51 episodes. Results indicate that nouns were the most dominant word class, with compounding, borrowing, multiple processes, and nonce formations being the main word formation techniques. Male contestants predominantly favored compounding with emotional or narrative elements, while female contestants employed more complex, ingredient-based structures using multiple processes. These linguistic strategies not only reflect individual creativity but also reveal patterns shaped by gender norms. This study contributes to discussions on language, identity, and culinary culture, offering insights into how gendered discourse is encoded in naming practices within popular media.

Abstract

Corporate sustainability reporting has gained attention, but research gaps persist in applying ecological discourse analysis (EDA) to corporate texts. Current studies often rely on critical discourse or thematic content analysis, overlooking the ecological dimensions of language. There is a lack of integrated SDG discourse analysis that captures the complex interdependence of environmental issues and limited attention to subtle linguistic strategies companies use to frame compliance and sustainability, often bordering on greenwashing. This study addresses these gaps by applying an ecological discourse analysis to a fishery company's sustainability report. Data was taken from the English sustainability report of PT. Dua Putra Makmur Tbk (DPUM), downloaded from the company’s website, www.duaputra.co.id. The collected data were examined through an ecological discourse analysis (EDA) framework assisted by the UAM corpus tool to investigate the modality as the interpersonal vehicle that uncovers the company’s intention in building public trust and showing its commitment to the ecological equilibrium. Findings reveal that modality is mainly employed to show the company’s commitment to maintaining sustainable business practices. Ecologically, the sustainability report articulates an ambivalent discourse since the ecological commitment is concealed in the report, proven by the absence of modality referring to ability and willingness

Abstract

This study investigates the forms and effects of phonological interference in the recitation of Indonesian poetry by Thai students. Phonological interference occurs when the phonetic system of a speaker's first language (L1) influences the articulation of a second language (L2), in this case, Indonesian. Using a qualitative case study method, this research analyzes audio recordings of Thai students reading the poem "Guru adalah Lampu" and draws on data from semi-structured interviews. The findings reveal several consistent interference patterns, including consonant substitutions, vowel additions, and incorrect stress placement. These patterns significantly impact the rhythmic and aesthetic qualities of the poem, disrupting elements such as rhyme, alliteration, and emotional resonance. Despite these challenges, the study also identifies potential positive contributions of interference, such as the emergence of novel rhythmic structures and cultural inflections. The findings underscore the importance of phonetic training and aesthetic awareness in BIPA (Indonesian for Foreign Speakers) pedagogy, especially in literature-oriented instruction.

Abstract

This study examines how patriarchal authority is linguistically constructed and contested across media coverage and courtroom registers in sexual violence cases. Using Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) and Halliday’s transitivity framework, the researcher analyses 784 clauses from 25 online news articles and one courtroom case adjudicated at the Praya District Court in West Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia. News reports were selected through purposive sampling, focusing on cases where perpetrators were socially significant figures such as father, lecture, and religious leader. AntConc software generated frequency and concordance lists, which were qualitatively coded in ATLAS.ti to identity patterns of agency, responsibility, and identity representation. Findings reveal that media discourse is dominated by material processes (70%), foregrounding acts of abuse and institutional responses, while relational processes assign social roles that frame cases within patriarchal and hierarchies. Courtroom discourse is characterized by relational, verbal, and mental processes, where defendant deploy relational clauses and conditional threats to normalize coercion, mask abuse as paternal care, and silence resistance. This study introduces the concept of discursive paternalism to explain how paternal identity functions as a linguistic resource that reframes coercion as moral duty. By connecting media framing and courtroom registers, the analysis demonstrates that justice is discursively produced across interconnected arena, with media narratives priming societal expectations and courtroom language either reinforcing or challenging them
