Abstract

Children’s life is dominated by activities for having fun, playing, and singing; and learning can also be done in these ways. Traditional songs, as part of children’s literatures, which is loaded with values, must be taught to children. The study is aimed at revealing the perceptions, learning materials and strategies, and competencies of teachers toward traditional songs. The study had the participation of 38 elementary-school teachers taking a post-graduate study on-line by using questionnaires, interviews, and scores of exams in singing traditional songs. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, while qualitative data were analyzed by condensation and inference drawing. Result results show that teachers like, can sing traditional songs, even songs from various ethnic cultures from different regions in Indonesia, and teach them to elementary-school children at school. They have awareness of the importance of traditional songs in the attempts to build characters, love and internalize local cultural values, and, most primarily, give delightful entertainments to school children.  Learning is done by repetitive singing practice so that children can easily memorize songs and it gives children various useful experiences related to the social cultural life system of the  society owner of the songs. Teachers are agreed that traditional songs must be continually taught to elementary-school students continuously as an effort to to preserve them.

Abstract

Character values in language textbooks become pedagogically consequential through the roles and choices assigned to learners. This study examines how cooperation and independence are represented through transitivity and modality in six government-issued Indonesian primary student textbooks. An exploratory qualitative document analysis purposively selected eighteen instructional or narrative episodes across Grades I–VI. Clauses were interpreted within their surrounding tasks, with attention to participants, process types, obligation, permission, ability, and opportunities for meaningful and mindful learning. Four patterns emerged: cooperation as distributed action, participation negotiated through obligation and permission, independence supported by assistance and bounded choice, and reflection connecting action with personal judgment. Contrasting cases showed that a permission expression in a grammar exercise did not itself authorize learner choice, while early-grade reflection challenged a simple progression from elementary activity to upper-grade depth. The analysis suggests that character representation depends on how linguistic resources organize responsibility and reasoning, rather than on value labels alone. These findings identify textual affordances for deep learning; they do not establish classroom implementation, character development, or learning effects.

Abstract

This study focuses on the promotional websites of two Indonesian ecotourism destinations, i.e., Penglipuran Village in Bali and Komodo National Park in East Nusa Tenggara. It aims to unveil how the integration of verbal and visual elements constructs and sustains ecotourism nature in forms of language vitality. It is a descriptive qualitative study analyzing multimodalities used in both ecotourism websites. The result shows that both websites employ various persuasive language strategies for the verbal elements. It happens to enhance the credibility, emotional engagement, and cultural values of the destinations. The visual element analysis reveals that both websites use horizontal angles in displaying the naturalistic images. The analysis of non-naturalistic images shows that the symbolic elements signal authority and global connectivity with the audience. It can be stated that the use of verbal and visual elements works together to promote ecotourism destinations in Indonesia while maintaining cultural value and sustainability of the destinations.

Abstract

This study aims to reconstruct the philosophical basis of Halliday’s Social Semiotic, since he draws no constructs from the philosophical tradition of language. His semiotics is a theoretical reflection rather than a systematic philosophical idea and thus requires philosophical legitimacy. The fundamental questions are: what is Halliday's formulation of the nature of language, and what is the adequate philosophical construct? To answer these, the researcher employed a philosophical methodology to analyze the underlying concepts and assumptions and align them with existing philosophical constructs. Halliday departs from empirical linguistics and discovers a semiotic fact, metafunction. This finding rejects the internal-external dualistic tradition. Meanwhile, departing from the Marxist philosophy of language, Voloshinov introduces the concept of ideological sign to refute Saussure's structural semiotics and, simultaneously, to overcome the langue-parole antinomy. His synthesis arises from the fact that language is a semiotic material for consciousness (inner sign) as well as for meaning (outward sign). This parallel leads to the proposition that metafunction is an ideological sign that semiotizes grammatical structures, enabling a speaker to unconsciously choose an option based on their context for their own interests.

Abstract

In the context of Indonesian literature, the poet Iman Budhi Santosa holds a significant position as one of the poets who consistently incorporates natural landscapes, local wisdom, and human–environment relationships into his poetry. His works not only represent nature as an aesthetic backdrop but also as an ethical and symbolic entity intertwined with issues of sustainability, spirituality, and a critique of exploitative modernity. This study examines sustainability rooted in local cosmology and the daily practices of communities on the slopes of Mount Merapi through the relationship between humans and nature in Iman Budhi Santosa’s poetry. Data sources were drawn from Iman Budhi Santosa’s poems titled: (1) Perumput Merapi, (2) Sujud Petani Lereng Merapi, and (3) Di Puncak Gunung Bibi. The results indicate that these poems can be categorized into two forms: (1) environmental sustainability, and (2) the relationship between humans and nature. Environmental sustainability in Iman Budhi Santosa’s poetry articulates sustainability as a practice of coexistence, respect for nonhuman agency, and the community’s ability to maintain and restore its ecological relationships. In the section on the relationship between humans and nature, Iman Budhi Santosa’s poetry constructs motifs of environmental sustainability through representations of human–nature relationships grounded in non-anthropocentric ethics. “At the Summit of Mount Bibi” affirms the ecological kinship between humans and the mountain; “The Grass Cutter of Merapi” illustrates the multispecies coexistence that sustains ecosystem balance; while “The Prostration of the Farmers on the Slopes of Merapi” demonstrates the ecological resilience born of acceptance of nature’s dynamics.

Abstract

Mass media plays a crucial role in constructing, reproducing, and legitimizing its ideologies to society. The study of ideological vocabulary construction in mass media is used to identify how specific vocabulary is employed to influence readers. The aim of this research is to describe the construction of ideological vocabulary in the Merauke Integrated Food And Energy Estate (MIFEE) news on Mongabay using a Critical Discourse Analysis theory. This data source of this qualitative descriptive study is MIFEE program news from the Mongabay online news site. The research data consists of various vocabulary items describing the MIFEE program as a reflection of media attitudes. The data collection techniques were performed through reading, observing, and noting. Findings show that ideological vocabulary in MIFEE news utilizes vocabulary categorized into: 1) verbs (65.5%), 2) nouns (29.7%), and 3) adjectives (5.85%). The ideological vocabulary, whether categorized as verbs, nouns, or adjectives, carries negative meanings. These meanings refer to interpretations or understandings that tend to highlight characteristics of: 1) harm, 2) threats, 3) abuse of power, 4) society, and the environment as sufferers.
