Abstract

This research explores the intricate phenomenon of code-switching and code-mixing within the realm of bilingual aphasia patients who converse in both Sundanese and Indonesian. This research is essential to understanding the code-switching and code-mixing phenomenon to improve rehabilitation and effective communication for these patients. Employing a descriptive-qualitative methodology, this study aims to shed light on the language dynamics exhibited by these individuals. To this end, data were meticulously gathered through participant observation in everyday communication, supplemented by in-depth interviews conducted with family members and language therapists. The findings from meticulous data analysis illuminate that aphasia patients fluently alternate between Sundanese and Indonesian, frequently engaging in code-switching and code-mixing when grappling with linguistic expression or comprehension difficulties. Furthermore, this language phenomenon manifests in the patients' inclination toward employing shorter and simpler sentence structures. Consequently, these results underscore the importance of accounting for language selection, code-switching, and code-mixing within the language therapy process for Sundanese-Indonesian bilingual aphasia patients. Language therapists are urged to comprehend and adapt to the patients' flexible language utilization while devising tailored therapeutic strategies to enhance their linguistic proficiency. Moreover, this research calls for future investigations to explore this captivating phenomenon across diverse cohorts of bilingual aphasia patients, thus broadening our understanding of the intricacies involved.

Abstract

Since English is not widely spoken in Indonesia, most students find it challenging to acquire the language, particularly when it comes to reading. Pupils exhibit low reading enthusiasm, boredom, and shyness. Therefore, teachers need to find a suitable teaching strategy. Hello English as a new application that promotes interactive and creative learning for users, especially students might be the solution. So, this study aims to find out the effectiveness of the Hello English application on students' learning motivation and reading skills at the tertiary level. This study is quasi-experimental research. Two classes were selected by the researcher to serve as the control and experimental groups using random sampling. Data is gathered by the researcher via questionnaires and tests. The independent sample t-test, descriptive statistics, and the N-Gain score formula were used to analyze the data. The findings indicate that the features in the Hello English program such as report cards, chat forums, games, dictionaries, and reading exercises boost students' motivation and reading skills. In conclusion, compared to conventional teaching methods, the Hello English application has a greater impact on students' reading skills, learning motivation, and both at the same time. These findings suggest that the features in the Hello English application were created to make learning English enjoyable for students and improve their comprehension of textual content.

Abstract

Learners of English as a second language (L2) whose first language (L1) is Indonesian tend to struggle to produce aspirated consonants. This study investigates whether the difficulties came from the interference of the L1 for the production of these sounds: [k], [b], [d], [g] in the final positions, and [p] and [t] in the stressed syllable. This study involved two cohorts of English department university students with different levels of fluency in L2 speech production. The L2 learners were asked to pronounce 25 words from a textbook previously used to teach them. The L2 learners were exposed to a British English-speaking speech model, which became a benchmark for the L2 learners' pronunciation by asking them to imitate the pronunciation. Annotation of data was conducted twice by a second annotator to ensure the objectivity of the scores given to the L2 learners which was analised using paired sample t-test. Findings suggest that the sounds with the lowest success rate of production were [p] in the stressed syllable, [k], and [g] in the final position. The production was unsuccessful because the L2 learners did not have phonological awareness of how the L2 consonant sounds were produced near-natively and were affected by their L1. The lack of awareness led to the failure to produce [p], [k], and [g] sounds because these sounds did not exist in their L1 and interference of the L1 was embed to the L2 speech production. The format analysis results using PRAAT indicate that there is an improvement in the participants' pronunciation after exposure to the native speaker's speech sound. The implication of this research is paramount for L2 learners and lecturers in highlighting the importance of targeted instruction and intervention to address the challenges in speech production. Contrasting the phonetic features of L1 and L2 sounds helped the learners to defer interference in their L2 speech production. This study encourages continuous assessment of L2 learners to ensure that they maintain the consistency of speech production to sound near-native.

Abstract

As a distinct field of research, so-called transfemininity studies can be used for the purposes of creating strategic coalitions and exploring specificities and differences. This study aims to explore the life journey of Arjuna (Juno), a man who is also a trans feminist, through the perspective of masculinity studies. The sub focuses of this research include: 1) transfemininity, physical transformation 2) and socio-psychological transformation. This research is interpretive qualitative research that verbally narrates data in the film Memories of My Body which was broadcast in 2019 as the data source. The results of the study show that Juno as the main character is caught between past trauma, his profession as a Lengger dancer, his sexual orientation and being liked by other men. Not yet finished making peace with himself, the people around him also add to the chaos with the end of his return to the beginning, trans-feminity – masculinity. Gender and sex as the other side of the coin are simple constructs, so future studies should be carried out to provide additional insights into the gender identities that have been internalized, reproduced, and possibly opposed by 'women' in everyday life in the social environment.

Abstract

The evolution of technology has significantly influenced the realm of literature. Once predominantly disseminated through oral and print mediums, literary works are now increasingly emerging in digital formats. The emergence of digital literature phenomena has impacted literary works' processes, outcomes, and production. Digital literature is not merely termed 'digital' due to its medium; it also entails form and regulatory framework differences. Unlike conventional literary works published in print, the production of digital literature is characterized by swiftness and demands rapidity. Employing netnography methodology with a descriptive approach to social change, this article explores the regulation of digital literature production, innovations in digital literary forms, the process of producing digital literature, and the changes occurring in print literature. The analytical process involves observing several platforms publishing digital literature, examining printed literary products, collecting regulatory data from various digital literary platforms, presenting the data, and drawing conclusions. The findings reveal that each digital literary platform has distinct regulations, unlike major print publishers with nearly uniform regulations. Furthermore, the rapid development of digital literature indirectly compels print literature to showcase greater creativity in marketing efforts to withstand the onslaught of innovative digital literary products in the contemporary era.

Abstract

Gas stations are hazardous, highly flammable public places. Thus, signs containing prohibitions, warnings, information, and road directions are needed to prevent catastrophes. This study aims to identify the linguistic system of the signs and describe the representation of power through the signs. The research site is gas stations in Semarang. This study uses observation methods in data collection by documenting, sorting, and classifying data using a national language, region, foreign, or both based on the linguistic system. Spolsky and Cooper's (1991) taxonomy of signs is used to classify the data. The categories are then examined further to reveal the embedded power relations. The results show that the linguistic landscape at the gas stations uses a monolingual system, Indonesian. This system demonstrates the gas station authorities' concern about prioritizing the state language in public spaces. Suggestions embedded in the signs do not explicitly represent power relations. However, they represent power by removing the subjects and objects on these signs. Texts of prohibitions and warnings should be created by involving more people so that the texts on the gas station LL can be more user-friendly.

Abstract

The need for improved language education approaches is critical given the current globalized world's growing demand for English language competency. Barriers based on language might prevent people from communicating and limit their chances. The goal of this study is to address the urgent need for creative and practical approaches to teaching foreign languages in order to enable students to get the language proficiency necessary for success in a globalized and multicultural society. The study explores effective teaching strategies in teaching and learning English as a foreign language, drawing insights from the movie "The Ron Clark Story." The research examines the alignment between the teaching strategies depicted in the movie and existing literature, specifically focusing on cognitive thinking and behavior. The research findings emphasize the significance of engaging in active social interactions, critical thinking, research, and evaluation to promote cognitive growth and improve language acquisition. The movie effectively showcases the positive impact of teaching strategies such as modeling, positive reinforcement, and structured learning on students' behavior. These findings imply that educators can implement these strategies to enhance cognitive growth and language learning and create a positive and engaging learning environment for English language learners in the classroom. The movie is a valuable resource and inspiration for educators seeking innovative approaches to teaching English as a foreign language. This research contributes to the existing body of knowledge on effective teaching strategies and their impact on cognitive thinking and behavior in the context of English language education.

Abstract

Understanding the materials and keeping motivated are challenges for elementary students in learning the Indonesian language. It happened due to a lack of learning resources. Previous studies mentioned that local learning resources can stimulate students' comprehension, specially forming colorful visualization. Therefore, the present research observes how to develop teaching material of caricatures adopted from the folklore "Sang Piatu," by employing problem-based learning (PBL). The current research aims to boost students' interest in learning, improve students' material comprehension of Indonesian language learning, and foster cultural awareness. The research method employed is Research and Development using the ADDIE model. This research contributes significantly to developing Indonesian language teaching materials at the elementary school level. The result demonstrates the approach's effectiveness in stimulating learning interest and improving students' understanding of the material, including increasing cultural awareness. Future studies could explore the potential of other folk stories from Indonesia. The upcoming studies could also integrate application technology to enhance student engagement in the era of Society 5.0.

Abstract

Japanese is regarded as mora-timed, while Indonesian is syllable-timed because it provides equal weight and time for all syllables. Indonesian learners are struggling in differentiating one mora and two moras, and single consonant and double consonants. This study investigated Indonesian respondents' ability to identify double consonants (sokuon), short vowels (tan'on) dan long vowels (chouon). 62 Indonesian respondents were involved as they were asked to listen carefully to a set of sounds containing the three distinctive sounds once and to write the sentence they heard. The result showed that 18% of 62 respondents fail to identify the short vowel (tan'on) because they omit certain sounds, change the word form inaccurately and put words in the inaccurate position when they write the sentence. In identifying double consonants (sokuon), 11% of 62 respondents failed because they inaccurately changed the word form when writing the sentence. In identifying long vowels (chouon), only 6% of 62 respondents failed because they added unnecessary sounds and changed the word form inaccurately. In conclusion, although Japanese and Indonesian languages are different in their rhythm classes, Indonesian learners' ability to identify the distinctive sounds of the Japanese language is relatively high although listening to the material more than once.

Abstract

Research on how to utilize students' ability to master the foreign language especially in memorizing some words in a target language is believed very important. The purpose of the study is to assess the ability of native Papuans in memorizing some English vocabulary using the keyword system strategy of a selected translated Sentani folktale, entitled The Legend of Sentani Lake. Data was obtained from around 32 students who were asked to memorize several target words. The result showed that students' keyword system strategy was useful in connecting the spelling, pronunciation, and new words to their prior knowledge by looking at the similarity between the target word and keyword in sound using the key-word system strategy. It is also showed that Papuan EFL students have a high ability to utilize existing knowledge and memorable relationship to memorize new or currently studied English vocabulary. The findings provide important insight for foreign language teaching and learning regarding the importance of encouraging students to develop their ability to master the language being learned by connecting it with something close to the context of Papuan native students' live in order to make it more effective and meaningful.
