Abstract

Integrating mobile devices into language learning has transformed vocabulary acquisition by providing learners with flexibility and access to educational resources anytime, anywhere. Mobile-assisted Language Learning (MALL) capitalizes on the widespread use of smartphones and tablets, allowing learners to engage with vocabulary exercises in a more accessible way. Previous research highlights that learners perceive mobile devices as enjoyable tools, and their acceptance is crucial for successful educational implementation. However, limited research exists in the context of Qatar. This study explores the acceptance of MALL among foundation students at the Community College of Qatar, using Quizlet due to its variety of features for vocabulary learning. A qualitative methodology was employed, involving interviews and reflection forms from forty-one participants across four academic levels, with thematic analysis conducted using ATLAS.ti 9. The findings revealed that participants generally had positive attitudes toward mobile applications in education but emphasized the importance of balancing MALL with diverse teaching methods to avoid monotony. Although MALL fosters learner autonomy, challenges such as technical issues, academic dishonesty, and cognitive distraction were noted. Despite these concerns, the study suggests that with proper administrative and educational interventions, these challenges can be mitigated, making vocabulary learning through MALL more effective, engaging, and acceptable to students at the Community College of Qatar.

Abstract

This research aims to identify the oral tradition of internalizing smong wisdom, recognized as successful in saving the people of Simeulue, Aceh, Indonesia, during the 2004 tsunami disaster. It employs a qualitative approach with descriptive methods. Data collection techniques include in-depth interviews with 30 informants comprising traditional leaders and community members knowledgeable about smong local wisdom. Data analysis utilizes thematic analysis. The research findings reveal that the ancestors of the Simeulue people internalized smong local wisdom through oral culture, which held significant literary value since 1907. The internalization of smong wisdom is evident through its transmission across generations, reflected in the community's smong narrative during disasters and using mananga-nanga, manafi-nafi, and nandong as educational tools. Based on insights from the informants, including traditional leaders and community members, they affirmed the widespread practice and knowledge of smong wisdom across all age groups in Simeulue. They utilize mananga-nanga (lullabies) for infants under five years old, manafi-nafi (folktales) for the general public, and nandong (songs) at specific events of special conditions. The informants of this study believe that instilling the values of local wisdom from an early age fosters collective memory, which can be easily recalled and applied by future generations. This facilitates the efficient transfer of local wisdom values in line with the ancestors’ expectations. Internally, within local communities, internalization occurs traditionally through oral culture.

Abstract

Data visualization is becoming widespread nowadays as people grasp images faster than verbal information. Infographics delineate information visually to be easily intelligible to the audience. They are creative discursive spaces where complex information can be disseminated in a variety of contexts. Religious Infographics discourse presents a fertile area of research that is not fully explored in academia. Coined by Jakobson (1959), “intersemiotic translation” refers to the interpretation of linguistic signs through non-verbal resources. This paper applies a qualitative descriptive approach to analyze fifteen religious infographics designed by Yaqeen institution for Islamic research. It applies Lim’s (2004) Integrative Multi-semiotic Model (IMM), which encompasses three planes: the expression plane, the content plane, and the context plane, to show how meanings are constructed in digital religious infographics. This study highlights the strategies used in religious infographics to resemiotize original meanings on the three planes. The findings of this paper show that intersemiotic translation is used in digital religious infographics to represent meanings and discuss important topics regarding faith, politics and theology, psychology and mental health, history, family, and community. The study invites further investigation of religious infographics in a more diversified corpus.

Abstract

Oral examinations in higher education context have been an under-explored genre in academic discourse since it is not easily accessible for public, rendering a complexity in understanding examiners’ expectations during the exam. Having adequate repertoire of the examiners’ questions among the students being assessed can lead to successful oral defense without exception among Master’s students. Hence, this research aims to explore the typical questions asked by the examiners during Master’s students’ thesis oral examination. Seventeen recorded oral examination videos involving four examiners in the Indonesian higher education context were collected with the consent from the participants involved in the videos. They were transcribed and analyzed using a thematic analysis approach to explore the types of examiners’ questions. The findings demonstrate that there were five main categories of questions typically posed by the examiners in order from the most frequently appeared to the least one: (1) questions clarifying specific points in the thesis report or presentation, (2) questions related to the linkage between research method and findings, (3) questions related to the review of literature, (4) general preliminary questions, and (5) questions regarding the process of recruiting or selecting research participants. Questions revealed in each category also represent a particular purpose during the examination process. The results can be used as a reference for graduate students in preparing their oral defense.

Abstract

The comparison of language systems in different language families is still a topic worth in-depth research. Both Chinese and Indonesian are languages with large population in the world, belonging to the language families of Sino-Tibetan and Austronesian, respectively. However, the comparison of their morphologies has received less attention, and scholars hold different views on their morphological types. This study delves into the types of affixation in Chinese and Indonesian, analysing their similarities and differences to deepen our understanding of the basic morphological types in both languages. Descriptive qualitative approach, current literature and document analysis are the main research method applied in this study. The findings reveal that Chinese and Indonesian affixes are mainly derivational, both have sound changes and the same mechanism of borrowed affixes. However, both Chinese and Indonesian exhibit unique types of affixation, varying in the number of allomorphs and the patterns of sound changes across different affixes; some Chinese affixes can be a root, and some of their quasi affixes are expressed in a free word in Indonesian. Analysing the morphological process of affixation in Chinese and Indonesian can further elucidate their basic morphological types. Chinese is a typical isolating language, but its affixes have certain characteristics of agglutinating language. Indonesian can be regarded as an isolating language in which its affixes have abundant characteristics of agglutinating language.

Abstract

The incidence of stroke in Indonesia continues to increase, which causes an increase in cases of aphasia. Meanwhile, the Regulation of the Minister of Health of the Republic of Indonesia Number 81 of 2014 does not explicitly regulate the mechanism of speech therapy for bilingual aphasia patients, including those of Sundanese-Indonesian bilingual aphasia. The study aimed to find verbal expressions of bilingual aphasia patients, patterns of language competence recovery, and determinants of the language competence recovery process in Sundanese-Indonesian bilingual aphasia patients. We analyzed the data 4 Sundanese-Indonesian bilingual aphasia patients at Al Islam Hospital, Bandung, and National Brain Center Hospital, Jakarta, using a list of guiding questions and evaluation of TADIR: Tes Afasia untuk Diagnosa, Informasi, dan Rehabilitasi (Aphasia Test for Diagnosis, Information, and Rehabilitation). While the limited sample size of four patients may affect the generalizability and reliability of the findings, the study provides a crucial insight into recovery patterns specific to Sundanese-Indonesian bilingual aphasia patients. This study showed selective, asymmetric, and symmetric recovery patterns in bilingual Sundanese-Indonesian patients. This study reinforces the assumption that linguistic familiarity is the main factor in the recovery of language competence in Sundanese-Indonesian bilingual aphasia patients.
