Abstract

One of the wayang (traditional Javanese puppetry) stories that continues to be explored by local and national Indonesian writers for storytelling is the tale of Srikandi. This research aims to identify the forms of transformation of Srikandi's life fragments in two contemporary Indonesian novels titled Panah Asmara Srikandi and Kekasih Musim Gugur using Julia Kristeva's intertextuality theory. This research is a qualitative descriptive study with data in the form of verbal symbols. The data were analysed using suprasegmental analysis and intertextual analysis methods. The research results indicate that (1) there is homology between Srikandi's transgender identity in the novel Panah Asmara Srikandi and Srikandi's bisexuality in Kekasih Musim Gugur with the character Bambang Kandihawa in the wayang narrative; (2) there are differences in the forms of transformation of Srikandi's life fragments in Panah Asmara Srikandi and Kekasih Musim Gugur due to differences in the authors' motives; (3) in Panah Asmara Srikandi which is an amplification of the wayang narrative and an affirmation of the author towards the wayang story, there is a process of transposition of the wayang text through transformation while retaining the story's conventions. Meanwhile, in Kekasih Musim Gugur which is an adaptation of the wayang narrative and a restoration by the author, there is a process of transposition of the wayang text through transformation by altering the story's conventions.

Abstract

The study is aimed at identifying the elements, functions, and language forms of the discourse structure of the food vlogs of four Indonesian YouTubers. The study used the descriptive qualitative research design. Data sources were 16 videos of four Indonesian vloggers Nex Carlos, Mgdalenaf, Ria SW, and Tanboy Kun. Data were in the forms of utterances in the food vlogs.  The research instrumens were human instruments, hardware tools and software devices. Data were elicited by the techniques of recording, transcribing, reading, and note taking. Data were analyzed by using the distribution and comparison techniques. Data validity was appraised by minute observation, triangulation, and peer reviews. Results are as follows. First, the structural elements of the food vlog discourse are opening, content, and closing. Second, functions that are found in the three elements are building interaction with viewers, presenting preliminary information of videos, introducing topics, asking viewers to watch videos to the end, informing about the location of the food being reviewed, describing the food being reviewed, giving comments concerning the food being reviewed, recommending the food/food place, asking viewers to give responses, and thanking reviewers. Third, linguistic features being used in each discourse element and structural function of the food vlog discourse are greetings, usernames or YouTube channels, lexicon referring to location, time and directions, and food being reviewed. Fourth, speech acts used in the discourse include assertive illocutionary acts for informing, directive illocutionary acts for requesting and recommending, and expressive illocutionary acts for praising, criticizing, and thanking.  Code mixing is used in the discourse to create informal and relaxing situation and atmosphere.

Abstract

Indonesian, as the national language, plays an important role in communication throughout Indonesia, but its use in marginalized communities on the north coast of Central Java has rarely been studied. These communities consist of fishermen, small traders and low-income people who face social, cultural and economic challenges. This study aims to examine how they use Indonesian in their daily lives, the factors that influence them, such as local dialect, education level, and socio-economic conditions, as well as the impact of modernization on their language practices. The method used is descriptive qualitative with observation, interview, and documentation. A total of 193 respondents were involved, showing variations in language use based on education, gender, and social status. It was found that language practices reflect people's identity and survival strategies. The main focus of this research is the form and function of Indonesian language communication in reflecting the identity, adaptation, and resilience of marginalized communities in the midst of limitations.

Abstract

Improving the quality of a foreign language education program, whether through sound educational policy or an effectual change in classroom practices, is not easy. The key to such an endeavor could perhaps be found in paying attention to the student motivation, a factor which is indispensably vital in ensuring the success of any teaching-learning processes, including foreign language. Based on the data of a mixed-method motivation study on university students majoring in foreign language, this academic paper lays out the students' perception of various motivational factors and analyzes what they mean for the initiative to improve a foreign language teaching-learning process. The findings do not only emphasize the utmost importance of constantly and continuously improving the teacher and program quality, but also highlight which areas to focus on. Furthermore, the findings also show that integrative and instrumental motivation should equally influence a program/classroom improvement decision. Lastly, the findings revealed that more motivational aspects should be considered in the currently existing motivation model to further advance the academic theme.

Abstract

Strengthening literacy competency is an effort to improve the quality of students in facing future challenges. The rapid flow of information has consequences for humans to be able to choose and sort information that is useful or beneficial for improving their welfare. For this reason, literacy competency is an important skill to be part of learning activities in educational institutions. Educational institutions are strategic institutions for strengthening literacy competency. In this regard, good and effective planning prepared by teachers must ensure that it contains activities that support the learning process that strengthen literacy competency. For this reason, this study examines literacy activities in the planning of Indonesian Language Subjects with a qualitative approach. Data were obtained from documents in the form of RPP and teaching modules from teachers who had been trained in literacy by the Directorate of Junior High Schools, Ministry of Education, Culture, Research and Technology. The results show that the activities in these steps show a variety of activities that are interpreted as literacy competency strengthening activities. Potential strategies that emerge from learning steps vary because they are influenced by learning objectives and topics. Disposition can be accommodated in the sense that the formation of students’ behavioral dispositions is potentially easily formed. This depends on the implementation of continuous strategies in every learning process.

Abstract

This article aims at discussing the phonological variation of Surinamese Javanese in language contact with Dutch and Sranantongo. It has been conducted to scrutinize the specific differences regarding the phonology in Surinamese Javanese in comparison to its counterpart in Indonesia. The study involved the recordings of 16 native speakers of Surinamese Javanese and the recordings of 7 native speakers of Indonesian Javanese, all narrating a picture-story in Javanese Ngoko. The results disclose five phonological alternations: palatal plosive to voiceless and voiced alveolo-palatal affricates, vowel shift from central close-mid to front close, nasal-stop combinations, retroflex to non-retroflex plosive changes, and the change of alveolar nasal to velar nasal in suffixes. These suggest influences from Dutch and Sranan as well as independent developments in Surinamese Javanese. The general finding of the study is that language contact in the multilingual environment of Suriname significantly impacted the phonology of Surinamese Javanese, giving it a dynamic nature of language change under these circumstances.

Abstract

Beyond equipping pedagogical competence, English Education students are increasingly expected to navigate diverse classroom environments, cultivating social and emotional competence (SEC) to confront cultural sensitivity in today’s 21st century. SEC is crucial for pre-service teachers as they prepare to educate future generations. Although extensive research has been carried out on SEC in foreign language learners, no study portrays English Education students’ SEC across programs. Through a quantitative survey research design, this study investigates the perceived levels of English Education students’ SEC and measures to what extent their levels vary according to their gender and education levels. A questionnaire survey of the social-emotional foreign language learning scale (SEFLLS) was distributed to the participants. Descriptive analyses (mean, standard deviation) and inferential statistics (Mann-Whitney U test) were conducted to analyze the data. The significant findings highlighted that English education students have high levels of overall social-emotional competence in both programs. Besides, findings indicated no significant difference based on participants’ gender in their SEC and dimensions. Similarly, no significant differences were found between participants’ education levels regarding their self-regulation and social relations. Yet, a significant difference was detected in the decision-making dimension and overall SEC. Subsequent studies could examine SEC factors across different cultures or socioeconomic levels in the context of language learning.

Abstract

The self-efficacy (SE) of second or foreign language (L2) learners, or their belief in their ability to successfully carry out language tasks, can affect their communication behaviours and learning outcomes. This study seeks to explore L2 learners’ SE levels in listening, reading, writing, and speaking, and to determine whether there are significant differences in SE across these four skills. A survey method was used, involving 144 Indonesian L2 learners from non-English departments. The survey included Likert-scale items measuring SE in the four language skills. Descriptive statistics revealed that learners had moderate-to-high SE in reading, listening, and writing, while reporting a higher level of SE in speaking. The mean scores range from 3.2 to 4.6 on a 1-5 scale. Paired-sample t-tests showed that speaking SE was significantly greater than that of reading, listening, and writing, whilst no significant differences were found among the SE of the latter three skills. Based on these findings, it is recommended that teachers promote more balanced development across all four language skills in integrated-skill classes where teachers build learners’ confidence in skills they feel less capable of. Potential contributions include mapping learners’ perceived strengths and weaknesses in L2 learning.

Abstract

This study aims to reveal the meanings contained in the oral tradition and modern form of kelong from Makassar, Indonesia. The research method is qualitative, using a literature review that focuses on cultural research. Data analysis uses the model developed by Miles and Huberman. Based on the results of the research, the value of Makassar kelong consists of: 1) religious values consisting of human relations with God, relations between humans, and human relations with the natural cosmos; 2) nationalism values consisting of love for the country, national spirit, respect for diversity, willing to sacrifice, and obey the law; 3) the value of independence consisting of hard work, creativity and innovation, discipline, resilience, lifelong learning; 4) the value of gotong royong which includes cooperation, solidarity, kinship, and mutual orientation; 5) and the value of integrity which includes honesty, exemplary, responsibility, and love of truth. The five kelong values reveal the function, implementation, and existence of local wisdom practiced by the people of Makassar today.

Abstract

As something generally considered private, sex and its surrounding activities are something rarely discussed, especially in a country like Indonesia where such is just taboo. This study undertakes the exact opposite of that, discussing how male “sex buyers” share their prostitution-related stories to their online community called Malang Nightlife. This study concerns how language is used by a certain community in their collective repertoire(s) as a representation of a proactive action showing a liking or support for prostitution. Accordingly, lexico-semantic analysis is the primary treatment given to the data, complemented with views on multilingualism and sociopragmatics to contextualise these intrinsic linguistic features in their naturally social settings. The findings suggest that 1) the community has quite strict rules regarding how members are allowed—and not—to share their story; 2) they often use four-way multilingualism in telling their stories (i.e. Indonesian, Javanese, English, and Basa Walikan Malang); 3) the members have several common tendencies and conventions in telling their stories; 4) these stories seem to be constructed from personal or collective repertoires each member has access to or have familiarity with. The conclusion drawable from this study is closely related to public’s stereotypes towards males and their sexual wrong-doings, up to the point of objectifications by these said males to the female prostitutes they refer to in their stories.
