Abstract

This qualitative study explores the perceptions of Vietnamese tertiary-level English as a Foreign Language (EFL) lecturers regarding the use of manga in translation practice. With the growing interest in innovative language teaching methodologies, this research aims to provide insights into how manga, a popular Japanese graphic novel genre, can be integrated into language education to enhance learning experiences. The study involved semi-structured interviews with nine Vietnamese EFL teachers across different career stages, including three novice, three mid-career, and three near-end career teachers, from two educational institutions in Vietnam. A thematic analysis of the interview data revealed three key themes: enhanced engagement and motivation among students when using manga for translation exercises, challenges in maintaining academic rigor, and varied cultural perceptions and receptivity towards manga as a translation tool. Findings indicate that manga can significantly enhance student engagement and motivation, offering a culturally rich and visually appealing medium for language learning. However, challenges in aligning manga content with academic standards and maintaining language accuracy were noted. The study also highlighted diverse cultural attitudes toward the use of manga in educational settings, influenced by generational and pedagogical perspectives. This study contributes to the field of language education by providing empirical insights into the use of manga in translation practice, underscoring the importance of cultural sensitivity and pedagogical balance in incorporating innovative materials in language curriculums. It offers valuable guidance for educators and curriculum designers seeking to enhance language learning experiences through engaging and diverse educational resources.

Abstract

Grammatical subjects are critical as they warrant text coherence and assist in reader’s understanding of the text. They are of particular importance in a research article introduction to set up the study’s context and relevance within the wider academic discourse. This research aims to disclose what novice writers can learn from professional writers in using Grammatical Subjects (GS). It compared GS realizations and functions in Research Article Introductions (RAIs) employed by both professional and novice writers published in applied linguistic-related Journals. One hundred introduction sections from ten journals were purposely selected. 50 of them were authored by professional writers while the other 50 by novice writers. All of these sections were then examined with the use of Gosden's (1993) analytical framework. Findings revealed that both professional and novice writers employed all types of grammatical subjects. These types encompassed discourse participant, interactive participant, discourse event or process, macro and micro discourse entities, hypothesized viewpoint, and empty real-world theme. Nevertheless, the results also highlighted noticeable differences concerning the realizations of participant viewpoint, interactive discourse entity, empty discourse theme, objective viewpoint, hypothesized entity, empty H and O themes, mental process, real-world entity, and real-world event or process. These findings could help novice writers, especially non-native novice writers, navigate the use of grammatical subjects and become aware of their functions and linguistic features to establish coherent ideas in writing a research article introduction section.

Abstract

The ASEAN Federation of Accountants (AFA) organizes the Continuing Professional Development (CPD) programs to enhance the professional competence of ASEAN accountants. One of the CPD programs is the conference presentation (CP). The conference is the way the AFA shares its new frameworks and policies. Consequently, this language-based professional practice and competence has become an important need. In the presentation, this language-based professional competence is an important need. However, it received limited attention from an Applied Linguistics perspective. To study the professional practice and professional competence of the accountants in the AFA CP, the research used Genre Analysis to analyze the moves and Metadiscourse analysis to analyze specific markers used in the presentations. The software Wordsmith 8.0 (Scott, 2020) is applied for concordance analysis. Thirteen conference presentations given by accountants from the ASEAN region were collected from an AFA conference conducted in Indonesia. The presentations were recorded and transcribed with the software Wreally.com (Wreally, 2019). The text was analyzed based on Seliman and Dubois's (2002) move structure and Hyland’s (2005, 2019) interpersonal metadiscourse markers. The findings revealed the tendency to use more interactional resources than interactive resources to connect information and assist the audience in understanding the problem-solution-modeled presentations. The popular interactional resources are Self-mention, Engagement markers, and Hedges while the interactive resources are Transition markers. This study found that the discipline, the problem-solution convention, the presenter-audience interaction, and the preferred usage of certain markers determined the use of metadiscourse markers for the AFA CP. It helps accountants understand the importance and need of using moves and metadiscourses in developing their professional competence. The study contributes to the literature in English for Specific Purposes (ESP) and serves as a guide in presenting effectively at conferences and developing purposeful CPD training. This research can also be replicated in studies on professional competence of other professions and professional training programs.

Abstract

Javanese is a vernacular language used in the Special Region of Yogyakarta, Indonesia. The dominance of the national language, Bahasa Indonesia, in the country’s curriculum is commonly presumed as a threat to the survival of Javanese. Thus, the Yogyakarta administrators have attempted to preserve Javanese through the education sector, strengthened through provincial regulations that focus on providing quality education based on Javanese cultural values. This paper examines students’ perceptions of the importance and challenges of Javanese learning based on data obtained from sixth grade students and 4 Javanese language teachers from two schools in Yogyakarta. The findings through questionnaire, classroom observation, and focus group discussion reveal that both teachers and students are mainly challenged in learning Javanese owing to the complexity of Javanese speech levels and the obligation to use students’ worksheet with specific learning targets in each semester. Despite the challenges, these aspects are viewed as necessary components of learning process and fundamental in fostering competence in Javanese language that forms an integral part of the people’s identity. Creative ways to learn Javanese through culture-based approach is essential. The position of the vernacular in Yogyakarta viewed from the intersectional lens of language nationalism and globalization indicate that Javanese is threatened less due to the predominance of Bahasa Indonesia. Rather, its complex learning process in view of the rapid technological and globalized ways of learning poses a bigger challenge.

Abstract

Acehnese is a member of the Austronesian language family. As a descendant language, it retains significant vocabulary from Proto-Austronesian, while some vocabulary has evolved uniquely in Acehnese. In Comparative Historical Linguistics, such inheritance is termed linear inheritance, the direct preservation of phonemes from the ancestor language to the descendant language without significant change; and innovative inheritance, phonological modifications that occur as languages evolve over time. Despite the abundant of studies on Austronesian languages, there is only small portions discussing the preservation of specific consonant phonemes from Proto-Austronesian in its descendant languages. This study describes the inheritance of Proto-Austronesian consonant phonemes in Acehnese. It aims to contribute to the development of Comparative Historical Linguistics. In order to track the transmission of consonant phonemes from Proto-Austronesian to Acehnese, the study used the Comparative Historical approach. It is anticipated that this method will reveal patterns of phonological innovation and retention. By examining the evolution of consonant phonemes, this study reveals the mechanisms shaping the Acehnese language and offers insights into the historical phonology of Austronesian languages. It used a list of 200 Swadesh vocabulary items to demonstrate that many Proto-Austronesian consonant phonemes are inherited linearly in Acehnese (e.g., *b → b, *c → c, *d → d), while others show innovative changes (e.g., *p → t, *s → h). Our knowledge of the preservation of consonant phonemes during the history of Austronesian languages is anticipated to grow as a result of this work. Furthermore, it is anticipated that this research would shed light on certain linguistic mechanisms, such as phonological innovation and retention, that have shaped Acehnese's evolution as a descendant language. The study's findings also provide insights into more comprehensive language theories that differentiate between inventive and linear inheritance. These results give a framework for examining the phonological evolution of additional Austronesian languages, in addition to advancing the reconstruction of Proto-Austronesian phonology.

Abstract

Soliciting accurate information about animals’ medical cases and maintaining harmonious relationships with clients require vets to use several mitigation strategies. This study analysed hedges, bushes and shields proposed as mitigation strategies by Caffi (2007). In light of the Rapport Management Theory conceptualized by Spencer-Oatey (2008), the analysis was extended to include defining the roles of these strategies in expressing the relational work in terms of the interactional goals, sociality rights and obligations, and face sensitivities. For this purpose, the data were collected using a mixed-mode approach through audio-recordings and a client-satisfaction questionnaire, and then analysed using a discourse analysis (DA) following Dörnyei (2007). The findings showed that the Iraqi veterinary students employed bushes, hedges, and shields to mitigate their speech with the bushes were the most frequently used. The use of these mitigators enabled the veterinary students to shield themselves against any future risks, solicit accurate information about the medical case of the animal, express politeness, maintain solidarity and build good rapport with the clients. For clients, using these devices by the veterinary students enhanced clients’ face sensitivities, equity rights and identity, so they felt appreciated and valued. The findings about clients’ satisfaction revealed that Iraqi veterinary students need to increase their clients’ satisfaction by sharing the medical decision with clients and engaging clients regarding their animals during the medical visit. The findings would inform better veterinary students’ practices at the personal and interpersonal levels. The findings had also some pedagogical implications for veterinary stakeholders to improve veterinary students’ knowledge of the mitigation strategies through giving training courses that aims at improving the delivery of the communication skills within veterinary practice.

Abstract

Metacognition is central to language learning because it encompasses the processes that govern the efficient use of learning strategies. It is especially important as a way to address language learners’ issues of limited repertoire of strategies and their application. While much research on language learning strategies  have been related to the learning of English, this study observes the increasingly appealing French as an additional language hence French as a Foreign Language (FFL) is gaining importance. This research was carried out by examining some similarities and differences in models of learning strategies of FLE students in three ASEAN countries.  The present study aims to investigate into FFL learners’ metacognitive strategies which contribute to the development of learners’ autonomy, despite the different contexts of study in Indonesia, Thailand and Vietnam. This study is descriptive qualitative research involving 56 students from three universities in Bangkok (Thailand), Hanoi (Vietnam) and Yogyakarta (Indonesia) as an ad-hoc sample to study their French Language Education (FLE) learning strategies. Using a Metacognitive Strategy Questionnaire (MSQ), this study result in a few insights of FFL learning process. The participants showed a consistent metacognitive strategy in terms of planning, monitoring and evaluating. Even though they are located in different countries, these strategies are proved to contribute to their autonomy as an FFL learner with different specificities.

Abstract

Secondary school students in Ecuador face significant challenges in developing English speaking skills, which are crucial for effective communication. This study explores the factors affecting the development of speaking skills and identifies teachers’ suggestions for addressing these challenges. The literature indicates factors on performance, methodology, linguistics, affective, and contextual factors. Employing an explanatory sequential mixed-method design, quantitative data were first collected through a survey of 142 EFL experienced teachers across various Ecuadorian regions, followed by qualitative insights from semi-structured interviews with seven experienced teachers. Findings reveal that large class sizes, limited instructional time, and insufficient speaking-focused activities in course materials impede effective practice. Methodological issues, such as inadequate English exposure outside the classroom, further hinder proficiency. Linguistic challenges include reliance on native language and pronunciation difficulties, while affective factors like anxiety and low confidence also impact students' speaking willingness.  Recommendations include reducing class sizes, increasing instructional time, and including more speaking activities in curricula. These recommendations are not just theoretical but practical and feasible, emphasizing their potential impact on students' oral proficiency. Emphasis is also placed on fostering a supportive classroom environment, enhancing teacher professional development, and integrating authentic language use into lessons. These findings have broader implications for EFL education globally, highlighting the need for curriculum reforms, improved classroom management, and targeted teacher training. The study provides valuable insights into the complexities of teaching and learning speaking skills and offers practical recommendations for enhancing students' oral proficiency.

Abstract

Recent years have witnessed a growing interest in research on English collocations, yet studies focusing on Indonesian collocations remain underexplored. Collocations are crucial for language acquisition as proficiency in collocations is indicative of language competence. This study, therefore, intends to reveal and map the patterns of Indonesian lexical and grammatical collocations through a contrastive analysis with English collocation patterns. The research was primarily qualitative,utilizing the phraseological approach supported by a corpus for collocation identification. The word classes of the collocation patterns were determined using KBBI V (the unabridged Indonesian dictionary). Data were sourced from main reports of Tempo magazine and headlines of Kompas as well as Pikiran Rakyat newspaper, comprising a total of 14,206 words. The data yielded a total of 1,488 instances of Indonesian collocations, divided into lexical collocation with 994 instances (66.8%) and grammatical collocation with 494 instances (33.2%). The investigation reveals nine sub-types of Indonesian lexical collocations, seven of which correspond to English lexical collocation sub-types while the other two are Indonesian-specific patterns. With respect to grammatical collocation, Indonesian possesses 14 sub-types, with eight aligning with English patterns and six unique to Indonesian. Future studies are required to delve more into and shed light on Indonesian collocations.

Abstract

Local culture often inherits a patriarchal view that regards women as the second gender category. However, this stereotyped view is only partially correct, especially when looking at the extent to which Sundanese culture views, defines, and places the role of women. Women in the local Sundanese culture have a role as balance keepers in the sense of anthropocentrism. This study aims to describe the role of women as anthropocentric subjects in Sundanese culture. The data of this study were taken from the film Ambu (2019), which represents women's roles in the Sundanese culture, especially as shown in the Baduy tribe. This study is descriptive-qualitative. It used Fairclough's Critical Discourse Analysis approach. This framework enables the film to be studied through its discursive dialogues and scenes, examining how these elements reflect and engage with social and cultural practices. The findings show that the film portrays a representation of women through Ambu Misnah, who embodies gender balance in Sundanese culture, challenging traditional views of domestication. As a cultural symbol connected to Sunan Ambu, her role contrasts with liberal feminist ideals, highlighting a more localized form of female empowerment. Furthermore, the language used by a male character, specifically the head of the Baduy Tribe, reflects a transfer of authority, signaling a shift in gender-power relations. Thus, these findings emphasize an anthropocentric awareness of the role of women, particularly within the Sundanese community.
