Abstract

The research intended to construe the interconnection among Marie-Laure’s blindness, thinking, and language and, thereby, explore if the language choice or spontaneous language of a blind person could be interpreted psycholinguistically in Anthony Doerr’s All the Lights We Cannot See. This novel presented the life-long stories of a girl and a boy whose paths merged eventually despite remaining unaffiliated throughout the first part of their life. Named Marie-Laure, the girl was blind and had her passage in her world through both sweet childhood experiences and chronologically upsetting predicaments. In the whole narrative of the novel, the novelist presented a reciprocal affiliation between Marie-Laure’s cognitive processing resulting from her physical condition, blindness, and language. Through portraying the predicaments of Marie-Laure, one of the two protagonists of All the Light We Cannot See, demonstrated vivid instances of the physical as well as mental trauma a blind child usually goes through. Concurrently, the novel also depicted conspicuously what improvisations a blind child had to devise to face reality, discern prevalent meanings of phenomena, construct her thoughts, and produce language. The research applied a qualitative method consisting of in-depth content analyses based on the selected text and secondary sources, namely published books, journals, and research articles. It analyzed the existing literature on the cognitive, psychological, and linguistic considerations of blind children and linked the discernment with the related portrayal in the narrative. The findings reveal substantial reciprocal dependence between a child’s physical authenticity and cognitive making, i.e., a child’s blindness influences his/her language, thoughts, and circadian psycholinguistic behavior.

Abstract

The research aimed to examine the existence of Balinese script block structure types in the Balinese Latin script dictionary to make it easy and correct to read Balinese script. The Balinese language was encountering an urgent crisis in poor intergenerational speaker transmission, the emergence of the stigma of reading Balinese script was very difficult, and the actual use of Balinese script was increasingly narrow and limited. The research applied qualitative methods as a reference method in completing research. The research instrument used observation, documentation, and writing methods as data collection methods. The types of Balinese script block structures found in the Balinese Latin script dictionary of the 21 most used entries are (1) V-CV-CC, (2) V-CCV-CC, (3) CV-CV-CC, (4) CV-C, (5) V-CCV. The concept of the syllabogram block structure differs from the phonological syllables in the Balinese script writing system. The syllabogram shows block breaks, while the phonological syllables are based on loudness level. Understanding these differences makes it easier to read Balinese script, which is different from Latin script. The research proves the application of the concept of Balinese script block structure types to relevant Balinese script elements based on the concept of syllables as a reference for reading and writing Balinese script. The research provides a reference and guide in reading, writing, and transliterating Balinese script into Latin script with adequate concepts and theories.

Abstract

The research aimed to evaluate the multimedia coursebook materials that had been applied in the Listening 1 course at one university in Indonesia, to know whether the coursebook used was presented well and still suitable to the student’s needs. The audio, video, and interactive activity provided in multimedia coursebook materials needed to be evaluated to determine their suitability for students, lecturers, and the institution. A qualitative method was applied, and the evaluation form was used to gather the data from two linguists of English Applied Linguistics, one Listening 1 lecturer, three students who had used the coursebook, and three students who had not used them. The data were summarized, analyzed, and qualitatively described. The finding shows that the audio, video, and interactive activity in the multimedia coursebook material applied in the Listening 1 course are presented well. To begin with, the audio provided is clear, and the accent is understandable. Then, the clarity of the video’s image, gestures, and facial expressions aid the students’ comprehension of the video’s content. The material, exercise, the application needed, and the link provided in the interactive activity are varied and appropriate to student needs and level of ability. The evaluation result can be used to improve the quality of multimedia coursebook material in the Listening 1 course. Finally, the research has the practical application of facilitating students’ learning needs by offering learning media resources in the form of multimedia coursebook materials.

Abstract

The research aimed to describe the positive politeness strategy which was applied by undergraduate students toward their lecturers in online conversations. It was also to find the form of violations of politeness that occurred in the conversation and to describe factors that influenced the violation. Data were gathered from online conversations between students and lecturers through chat applications such as WhatsApp and Line on lecturers' and students’ devices. Then the data were grouped and analyzed according to Brown and Levinson's (1987) positive politeness strategy along with their theory on Distance, Power, and Ranking of Imposition. The results show that positive politeness strategies appear in eleven utterances out of forty-three utterances. The violation of politeness is shown in five utterances, all of which threaten the negative face of the addressee. In addition, five factors influence the violation: distance, context, desire to over-praise the addressee, deliberately asking for reasons, and rejection. Overall, social factors still influence the way students communicate online with their lecturers. To some extent, students apply positive politeness strategies toward their lecturers even though the interaction happens through online chat applications.

Abstract

The research was focused on investigating the tradition of modernist literary criticism, which could be found in the audience’s comments under the video on the YouTube website. As the center of the digital literary paradigm, digital poetry in videography has become an object of criticism for the Indonesian millennial generation. As was known, one of the markers of digital literacy was proficiency in using digital media. One of these media was used to produce criticism by voicing non-text semiotics. Because of that, in the research, thousands of criticisms that appeared on the poetry websites “Aksara Betha” and “Rotasi” were analyzed by reviewing examples of the critics’ expressions of non-text elements that could be found in the constructs of the two digital poetry. The results show that Indonesian millennials are digitally literate, and many explicitly mention digital art features that have attracted their interest. Some critics even express their subjective feelings about the show’s duration which is considered too short. Such practice explains that the Indonesian millennial generation has felt the effect of one of the morphological elements of digital poetry, namely space and time. Furthermore, suppose it can be called a tradition; in that case, the honesty of the critics in collecting criticism of the work they prepare is the milestone of the new tradition in literary criticism. This tradition is rarely, if not never, to be found in the tradition of printed literary criticism.

Abstract

The research specifically examined French and Indonesian individuals’ representation from cognitive and interactional perspectives within sociocultural and sociocognitive contexts, mainly using dialogues in the comic book “Ma voisine est Indonésienne” (My Neighbor is Indonesian) by Emmanuel Lemaire. This comic strip was about the discovery of France through an Indonesian woman’s eyes and transcribes the two cultures’s encounters. The textual and structural aspects of the conversations were subject to analyses; their topical and situational dimensions were examined. NVIVO was used to support the qualitative analysis. The findings contribute to the development of a discourse analysis model of representation and perception of culturally based images or culturological models of communication, drawing heavily on Ulrike Niens’ social identity theory. The findings suggest that stereotypical conversations between the Indonesian and French characters in the comic book primarily occur within a social context, indicating that stereotyping is part of a complex dynamic process involving elements of subjectivity, collectivity, and intersubjectivity. These findings also reveal an unfavorable sociocultural representation of both Indonesian and French cultures, as 17 aggregated item codes demonstrate the representations of Indonesians are deemed unacceptable within French culture’s framework, while ten aggregated item codes indicate the representations of the French are deemed unacceptable within the Indonesian culture’s context. This implies language and cognition, influenced by prior experiences and societal norms, shape socialinteractions and contribute to stereotype creation.

Abstract

A research showed that the development of students’ basic speaking skills had not reached the expected target. It was important to develop speaking skills by learning materials using Japan Foundation (JF) standards. Speaking skill was communicative competence and mastering language use rather than learning. Speaking, in general, could be intended as a skill to convey one person’s ideas to others by using spoken language. Therefore, the research aimed to address these problems by developing teaching materials for blended learning during a pandemic. It also aimed to develop teaching materials that motivate Japanese students to learn speaking skills independently. Teaching materials were developed following the ADDIE model and tested by learning content and design expert groups. ADDIE of product development were Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation. Information was collected through class observations and interviews with four Japanese language skills course lecturers. Validation of content and learning design expert tests obtained feasibility of 86% and 91%, respectively. Furthermore, average eligibility for small groups and field testing was 92% and 96%, respectively. The research finds that blended learning-based teaching materials are essential during the pandemic because they increase students’ motivation for physical activities and introduce the use of technology. The research can be developed further to test the application of teaching materials based on blended learning quantitatively.

Abstract

The research aimed to examine the usage of the Javanese language to represent the discourse of nyumbang (donation) in the film Nyumbang produced by Montase Film Independen Yogyakarta. It focused on analyzing the discourse semantics of the Javanese dialogues, which took the style expression ala Kethoprak. The primary data are the Javanese dialogues in the film Nyumbang. At the same time, the supporting data were taken from journals, books, newspapers, websites, and supporting media (audiovisuals, interview results, and other documentation). Data analysis techniques included reduction, presentation, and verification of conclusions related to the research object. The results indicate the utilization of a strong Javanese accent, mostly found in Kethoprak's performance, to represent the problematic discourse of nyumbang. The actors who are the members of the Sanggar Kethoprak Merbabu Budaya, Magelang, speaking in Javanese with the Mataram accent, highlight the problematization of the ideology behind the discourse of nyumbang. The Mataram accent, which is the language style of Kethoprak, added with the helpless facial expressions of the actors, provides the interpretation of the raising question of the nyumbang tradition, which has been embedded in Javanese culture. Through some word choices that are exaggerated to produce a sense of helplessness, the tradition of nyumbang, formerly developed to help each other, becomes a social burden. Thus, the research finds that the film Nyumbang provides an effort to maintain the Kethoprak tradition without abandoning the characteristics of its traditional performances, which contain criticisms of tradition in modern life.

Abstract

The research aimed to investigate the incorporation of creativity in writing materials for seventh graders. To achieve quality education for junior high school, teachers and school leaders must provide effective learning materials focusing on curriculum objectives and students’ skills. Besides, creativity was a skill in Profil Pelajar Pancasila that must be implemented in every learning subject. The research applied a qualitative method. Therefore, the respondents were teachers in four junior high schools from Jakarta, Bogor, Depok, Tangerang, and Bekasi area, especially Bogor, Depok, and Bekasi. In-depth interviews were gathered to explore the information on learning materials used by teachers. Moreover, it was also to explore the type of creativity taught through writing materials. The result shows creativity in learning materials lay in phase while-writing. Then, descriptive text is the most genre to support students' creativity, especially on topics of family, friends, personal information, and neighborhood. Therefore, future design of creativity-incorporated writing materials needs to be carried out supporting other phases of writing using updated learning media.

Abstract

The research aimed to reveal the dynamics of the book clubs that the researchers started with and for Indonesian EFL (English as a Foreign Language) students at the university level, as well as the club's impacts on students' learning. Book clubs were essential in nurturing students' reading habits as a community. Studies found that book club activities affected one’s engagement in reading by giving readers the voice, room to participate actively, social support, and the choice to decide what they read. Indonesian university students in the EFL context faced reading engagement issues; the researchers initiated book clubs with the unified mission of growing students' love of reading and forming good reading habits. The research reported a qualitative study of a group of Indonesia Extensive Reading Association (IERA) members sharing reflections on establishing and managing book clubs or literature circles in six universities in Indonesia where the researchers taught. The data of participants' reflections were gathered and analyzed iteratively to find common themes or patterns. As a result, the research finds that the book club activities have fostered the love of reading and inferred the empowerment of collaboration, communication, creativity, and critical thinking. The research also reveals that in setting up a book club at the university level, the support of the university and the readers' community and extended networks are needed. For a book club to sustain itself, four aspects must be considered: participants' involvement, product-oriented activities, voluntarism of participants, and rewards.
