Abstract

The concept of mortality has mystified humanity for civilizations, resulting in many arts in which mortality is the central exploration. Often, discussions of mortality are intertwined with religiosity, as faith offers understandings of death and salvation. Hence, this study (1) examines the themes of mortality in two poems entitled “Immortality” by Clare Harner, published in 1934, and “I’m Free” written by Anne Lindgren Davison in 1974, and (2) uncovers the association between the poets' religious beliefs and their attitudes toward death in their poems. Guided by Bassnett's (1993) comparative literature, this study applied a descriptive-qualitative approach, drawing on Wellek and Warren’s (1956) intrinsic and extrinsic elements in literature. Findings reveal that Harner’s “Immortality” is rich with Gypsy religious influence, whereas Davison’s “I’m Free” is strongly affected by the values of Abrahamic religions. The poets’ different uses of intrinsic elements reflect their distinct religious beliefs. Although both poems use a singular first-person point of view and focus on consolation and upliftment, Harner utilizes natural imagery, while Davison uses religious imagery. These illustrate how the poets’ religious backgrounds influence their exploration of mortality, providing poetic insights into death and the beyond.

Abstract

The mastery of Collocation would support the achievement of a good language proficiency. However, the existence of collocations  in German language Textbook is often not recognized by either learners or teachers. Therefore, a study was needed to map the presence of collocations in German textbooks for beginners. This was a descriptive qualitative study using a textbook analysis approach. The theoretical framework was based on Hausmann's work (1984) on Basic-Collocator Model. The German textbooks Beste Freunde A1 and A2, which contain naturally occurring collocations in their texts, dialogues, and exercises, served as the data source. The research instrument was human instrument. Data validity and reliability were obtained through repeated readings and focus group discussions. The results of the study showed that: (1) the total frequency of collocation occurrences was 1524, distributed evenly from Beste Freunde A1.1 to A2.2; (2) there were eight forms of collocations, with the most frequent form being the combination of a noun and a verb. Based on type, the most common type of collocation is lexical collocation; (3) semantically, the meanings of the collocations could be grouped into school and education, holidays and travel, and leisure and vacation. These books offer authentic input essential for developing native-level language proficiency.

Abstract

The evolving and persistent gender constructs in society have greatly disadvantaged women, placing them in a subordinate position and limiting their choices in life. These negative impacts have prompted women to rise and fight for gender equality, a struggle not only in the real world but also in fictional works such as Maria A. Sardjono's novel Hati Seorang Perempuan. This novel features an independent female protagonist who upholds women's self-esteem and rejects the gender construction system imposed by society. In contrast, the male protagonist in this novel is portrayed as a figure who highly upholds the gender construction system in a society steeped in patriarchy. However, the gender construction believed by the female and male protagonists in the novel is not absolute but full of instability. Therefore, this study aims to identify the instability of female and male constructions in the novel HSP. Based on the analysis, it was found that the strong, independent female character that does not care about society's views, as formed by the female protagonist in the novel HSP, cannot completely break free from society's perspective, the biological need to love and be loved, and self-fragility. A similar phenomenon occurs in the male protagonist, where the construction of men as selfish and placing women in a subordinate position, as portrayed by the male protagonist in the novel HSP, is ultimately not fixed and is full of instability, as seen in the male protagonist's logocentric opposition.

Abstract

Pantun has symbols that represent the culture of the Malay community, including in pantun meminang. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to reveal the symbolic meaning of Malay Sambas pantun meminang in relation to Islamic symbols, love, and culture. This study employs a descriptive qualitative research method with a semiotic approach. Data for this study were collected through interviews with four respondents from the Sambas Malay community who are familiar with marriage pantuns. Based on the analysis results, it can be seen that there are symbolic meanings that indicate Islamic symbols, love, and culture in the pantuns. The findings regarding Islamic symbols include mentioning the name of Allah and greetings. Findings related to the symbol of love include expressions of love and the strengthening of relationships, while findings related to culture include the culture of maintaining relationships and the culture of proposing marriage. This study successfully revealed these three symbols comprehensively, unlike previous studies that addressed them separately, making it a valuable reference for relevant institutions in conducting in-depth interpretations of pantun, particularly pantun meminang.

Abstract

The ability to recognize, appreciate, and connect different elements to resolve different issues is important for cognitive development and acquiring the different dimensions of the Indonesian language. Thus, it is imperative to study different cognitive approaches in understanding different and diverse scientific documents, particularly through the AI-based Cognitive Reconstruction Self-Assessment (CRSA) tool. This study, in the sphere of Indonesian Language Education, aims to study the degree to which the integration of chatbot with CRSA, improves the comprehension of students. The study found the cognitive scaffolding influenced by artificial intelligence promotes reading, understanding concepts, and better pedagogical interventions. This, in addition to helping students understand the structure of scientific writing, improves critical thinking. Moreover, the CRSA framework offers the opportunity to better organize, refine and improve the personalization of educational processes. The ability of artificial intelligence to personalize educational processes is paramount. Overall, the combination of CRSA and AI will inevitably help meet the contemporary educational challenges, particularly personalization and flexibility, and improve the practice of teaching.

Abstract

This research examines how students learn to produce digital persuasive writing across social, business, and theoretical areas, emphasizing skills in digital literacy and rhetorical competence and reflexivity regarding social and business fields. The findings indicate a mismatch between what students are currently able to do and what they will require in academic and professional settings. Drawing on both quantitative and qualitative data collected using questionnaires, interviews, classroom observations, and documents of Akademi Bisnis Lombok’s digital business program students, this research utilizes a mixed-methods approach. The findings of this study show that many students have difficulty with forming coherent arguments, using rhetorical strategies (ethos, pathos, and logos), and making use of visual components in digital media. These issues demonstrate an incapacity to transfer rhetorical skills to authentic situations. The study identifies this and stresses the importance of project-based learning including collaborative and reflective work within digital and digital-based media in advancing adaptive, critical, and context-specific communication skills within digital and digital-based contexts.

Abstract

This study explores the categories and pedagogic functions of nonverbal communication used by native-speaker and non-native-speaker French teachers teaching French as a Foreign Language (FLE). This study used descriptive qualitative method through room-talk analysis to be observed in Yogyakarta State University. There were two non-native lecturers, a man and a woman, the participants. The data were collected from non-participating classes by means of observations, field notes, and audio-visual recordings. The discussion was limited to the following are nine forms of nonverbal communications: body language, facial expressions, eye contact, posture, proxemics, silence, touch, paralanguage, visual-aids and demonstrations. The results argue that these nine lecture delivery modes are key pedagogic resources through which lecturers shape meaning-making, manage class interaction, and develop lecturer-student relational intimacy. The non-native lecturer displays an increased desire for instruction clarity manifested in a more controlled body language, strategically employed silences, and minimized paralanguage. Conversely, the native speaker prefers interactional dynamism, readily employing hand gestures, spatial dynamics, engaging friendly facial expressions and a variety of paralanguage signals. Overall, the findings highlight the importance of nonverbal communication and its role in the co-construction of a multimodal, interactional-based pedagogic context in teaching French at university. Eye contact, posture, touch and visual illustrations are other communicative resources that help to reinforce the dynamics of the classroom interactions.

Abstract

Studies have suggested that video-based listening activities using visual and auditory cues can be an effective learning tool to help students having issues with listening skills. This study examined the impact of video-based listening exercises on the listening comprehension skills of 21 fifth-grade students, with a focus on the identification of specific facts. The study employed an action research method, incorporating pre- and post-tests, Likert-scale questionnaires, and Focus Group Discussion (FGD) talks to evaluate students' progress and perceptions. The intervention was conducted over four weeks through four classroom sessions. The results showed that the intervention made a significant difference in how well pupils understood what they heard. The score on the pre-intervention test went from 8.79 to 9.37 out of 10 on the post-test, demonstrating the improvement of students’ understanding on  fast speech and small details. Students reported that video-based tasks were fun and engaging and the audio-visual materials enhanched their focus, confidence, and enjoyment in learning. The results show that video-based listening exercises are effective for EFL learners and should be used more widely to help them develop their listening abilities and improve language learning experiences.

Abstract

Realistic depiction and representation of harsh reality of life have markedly emerged in children’s literature. In the age of global conversation around bullying and sexual violence, investigating trauma—formerly a forbidden, delicate topic—has gained crucial momentum. Accordingly, this study (1) examines Eyes’ traumatic disorders in Heaven (2022) by Mieko Kawakami, and (2) unveils his result of trauma recovery journey. Applying a descriptive-qualitative approach, data were gathered through systematic close reading and note-taking and interpreted according to Judith Herman’s theory of trauma. It is revealed that Eyes’ trauma stems from chronic emotional and physical bullying, as well as non-direct sex violence, leading to extreme disassociation. His recuperation is represented as incomplete and precarious. There are moments of safety through a comforting letter-writing, yet they are unstable. Remembrance and mourning stages are constrained, as exemplified by a lack of self-consciousness, an absence of empathy from others, and no professional help. Reconnection falls through when he chooses a physical transformation through eye surgery over emotional recovery and relational reconciliation. To conclude, “Eyes” is an example of a silent and silenced trauma victim, whose continuous anonymity throughout the entire story functions as a form of personal, social, and narrative erasure, indicating unsuccessful trauma recovery. From this novel, the significance of performing open and honest discussion supportive environment, and empathetic team—among peers, between students-teachers, children-parents, and general public—emerge as a set of central educational message.

Abstract

The objective of this research is to explore the informational linguistic landscape of Bogor Botanical Garden as a synchronic signage study. As a heritage site governed by national regulations with diverse visitors, the botanical garden provides a relevant case study for exploring how language can be used to exercise control and regulate public space. Based on the informational functions defined by Landry and Bourhis (1997), part writing identified by Backhaus (2007) and code preference analysis described by Scollon and Scollon (2003), this paper investigates signs that primarily perform informational functions, namely information signs, prohibition and warning signs, advertising signs, and street signs. The signs are classified according to the sign taxonomy proposed by Spolsky and Cooper (1991). The findings show that the Indonesian language is dominant within all the taxonomies, as it constitutes the primary language of regulation and control. The English language supports international accessibility, while the Latin language is commonly employed as a scientific language in plant-related signs. Other languages, such as Sundanese, Arabic, French, and Dutch, are used selectively for promotional and contextual purposes. This study contributes to linguistic landscape research by analyzing botanical garden as an underexplored setting and by emphasizing how institutional regulation, scientific communication, and tourism impact language functions within a public space in Indonesia.
