Abstract

As the demand for 21st-century communication skills grows, English language education must evolve beyond grammar and vocabulary to include digital literacy and collaborative competencies. This study explores the distinctive use of Project-Based Learning (PBL) in a first-semester Basic English course for Communication Science students at a private university in Indonesia. The research examines how PBL enhances student engagement, builds speaking confidence, and fosters real-world language use through digital tools, providing a context-specific approach to foundational English education. A qualitative case study design involving 105 students was employed over a 14-week academic period. Data were gathered through student reflections, structured questionnaires, and multimedia project evaluations, and were analyzed thematically to capture students’ learning experiences and performance outcomes. Findings show that PBL significantly boosted speaking confidence, particularly through tasks such as video production and group projects. These tasks were the most effective in improving language skills and student engagement, distinguishing this study from traditional language instruction. However, challenges such as time management, group accountability, and technical difficulties were noted, particularly among students with limited digital literacy. Positive group dynamics and instructor support were critical in overcoming these obstacles. This study offers insights into the intersection of PBL, digital literacy, and language learning, especially for low-level learners in Communication Science. It emphasizes the importance of inclusive, student-centered learning environments that meet the evolving demands of 21st-century communication.

Abstract

While ethnic Chinese-Indonesians are often stereotyped as ‘economic figures’, many are also actively engaged in literature. Among their literary contributions is The Green Island Prose Compilation (2015), which is a post-Reformasi anthology of Mandarin language prose selected from the monthly Lüdao column in the International Daily News. These writings reflect personal experiences and preserve the memory of ethnic Chinese life in Indonesia. This study aims to examine how individual life narratives in the Green Island Prose Collection, shaped by social and historical context, contribute to the collective memory of Chinese-Indonesians. It explores how literature serves as a medium for documenting everyday life, preserving cultural identity, and bridging generational gaps. This research employs a descriptive qualitative method, utilizes purposive sampling to identify relevant themes of prose, and applies content analysis based on Maurice Halbwachs’ theory of collective memory. The data includes prose works that reveal recurring themes such as childhood, family, social life, and historical events. The findings indicate that the collective memory among Chinese-Indonesians is constructed from individual memories, incorporating elements of childhood, adulthood, and historical recollections. This becomes a significant shared experience and memory repository. This study not only addresses a gap in the study of the Chinese-Indonesian literature but also provides insights into the role of literature in preserving culture, shaping identity, and facilitating intergenerational communication. In this way, it enhances the understanding of the Chinese-Indonesian community within the broader context of contemporary Indonesian society.

Abstract

While previous research has extensively explored English language teaching in formal educational settings and urban madrasahs, limited attention has been given to pesantren operating in tourism-influenced environments, particularly regarding how these faith-based institutions balance English language instruction with the preservation of Islamic identity and local cultural values. This research gap is significant given the increasing pressure on pesantren to prepare students for engagement with international tourism while maintaining their traditional religious mission. This study examined the integration of English language education within Islamic boarding schools (pesantren) located in Mandalika, a rapidly growing tourism hub in Central Lombok, Indonesia. The research aims to explore pedagogical practices in integrating English learning and tourism context, student engagement and perception, and institutional challenges and opportunities in delivering English instruction contextualized within local tourism and Islamic values. Using a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through semi-structured interviews, classroom observations, and document analysis at two boarding schools: Nurul Ijtihat Al-Ma'arif NU Lengser and Al-Irsyad Al-Islamiyyah. The findings revealed that teachers employ four main strategies: contextual module development, role-play simulations, cross-disciplinary projects, and limited field studies to embed tourism-based content in English instruction. These methods not only enhance language acquisition but also foster students' cultural literacy and confidence. Students demonstrated good engagement and a positive perception of learning English in tourism-related contexts, viewing it as both a practical skill and a means for religious outreach (da’wah). However, the study also identified critical challenges, including the lack of specialized materials, limited professional development, and ideological tensions regarding cultural preservation. Besides that, the study also found several opportunities for contextually appropriate integration have emerged, namely strengthening pesantren's economic role, multilingual cultural da’wah, and institutional collaborations. The study contributes original insights into contextualized English teaching in faith-based institutions and proposes pathways for culturally sensitive curriculum development that bridge education, economy, and spirituality.

Abstract

The Sand Castle is a film that represents the experience of child trauma in the context of war through subtle visual symbols that are not expressed verbally. The study of child trauma in visual media is important because traumatic experiences at an early age often appear implicitly, thus requiring an interpretive approach to be understood more deeply. This research aims to: (1) identify visual symbols that represent child trauma, (2) analyze the relationship between signifier and signified based on Ferdinand de Saussure's semiotic framework, and (3) explain the function of the imaginative world of child characters as a medium of representation of traumatic experiences. This research uses a descriptive-qualitative method with structural semiotic analysis. The research data consisted of selected scenes featuring non-verbal expressions, symbolic objects, and a visual atmosphere consistent with the representation of trauma. The selection of data was purposive, while the analysis was carried out in three stages: identification of sign units, grouping of meanings, and interpretation of sign relationships in psychological contexts. The results show that visual symbols, such as shipwrecks, shadows, and objects belonging to other characters, contain emotional content that represents loss, fear, and hope. In addition, the imaginative world of the child characters is shown to function as a symbolic mechanism to express suffering that is difficult to articulate directly. These findings indicate that film not only presents an aesthetic narrative, but can also be a reflective medium to understand the dynamics of child trauma. Thus, this research contributes to the study of trauma psychology while expanding the perspective of visual media studies on the representation of children's suffering in the context of conflict.

Abstract

  This philosophicaly reflective paper examines the legitimacy and cultural value of fanfiction within contemporary literary discourse, questioning its position in relation to the established literary canon. Beginning with an exploration of the practices of reading and writing fanfiction as forms of ‘labor’ within fandom, the study acknowledges the skepticism and dismissal that often surround its worth. These practices open broader inquiries into how value, legitimacy, and participation are determined in literature. Drawing on Frank Raymond Leavis and Andrew Milner’s theories of the literary canon, Raymond Williams’s Cultural Studies, and Henry Jenkins’s concept of participatory culture, the paper reflects on the historical role of institutional gatekeeping in canon literature, where certain texts were privileged as morally and culturally superior while others were excluded. In contrast, fanfiction emerges as a democratized form of literary production, enabling diverse voices to reconfigure familiar narratives, subvert dominant ideologies, and address social issues overlooked in mainstream literature. Through a qualitative approach that combines close reading and extensive library research, this paper highlights fanfiction’s intertextual and transformative qualities, emphasizing its capacity to generate community, nurture identity, and foster critical literacy. Rather than dismissing fanfiction as marginal or derivative, the analysis demonstrates how it destabilizes hierarchical notions of literary value, revealing literature itself as a dynamic cultural practice rather than a fixed canon. This study argues for recognizing fanfiction as a vital form of contemporary storytelling and cultural labor, one that challenges conventional boundaries of legitimacy in literary criticism and reimagines the possibilities of cultural participation.

Abstract

This research aims to analyze how the online media outlets Kompas and Tempo portray the image of the Corruption Eradication Commission (Komisi Pemberantasan Korupsi or KPK) during its working meetings held in Yogyakarta. Using a descriptive qualitative method and applying Norman Fairclough’s Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA), the study investigates media representation across three analytical dimensions: text, discursive practice, and sociocultural practice. The findings reveal that in the textual dimension, Kompas constructs a positive image of the KPK by using supportive language and justifying the Commission’s actions. At the same time, Tempo presents a negative portrayal, often highlighting ethical concerns and public criticism. At the level of discursive practice, Kompas maintains a balanced reporting style, occasionally aligning with government perspectives. In contrast, Tempo reinforces its reputation for investigative journalism by critically scrutinizing the KPK’s decisions. On the sociocultural level, Kompas seeks to preserve the KPK’s legitimacy following the controversial revision of its governing law in 2019, while Tempo critiques the Commission’s choice to hold a high-profile meeting during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, framing it as insensitive to public health and economic challenges. This study demonstrates that media discourse plays a pivotal role in shaping public perceptions of government institutions, particularly during times of crisis. The study highlights how ideological and linguistic strategies influence narratives, underscoring the importance of critical media literacy and the accountability role of journalism.

Abstract

This research examines the representation of waria (transgender women) in the Indonesian film series Catatan Si Boy, comparing portrayals from the original Catatan Si Boy in the 1980s-1990s period and the 2023 remake. Drawing on Judith Butler's concept of performativity, this research analyzes how waria characters are constructed through stylized and exaggerated expressions of femininity that align with social stereotypes of "woman-like" behavior. These portrayals often position waria as sources of humor and entertainment, while simultaneously shaping their role as visible yet marginal figures within popular cinema. The research employs Foucauldian Discourse Analysis and thematic analysis to investigate how language, fashion, and body gestures contribute to the performative construction of gender. Findings reveal both continuity and transformation in the portrayal of waria: while the earlier films emphasized flamboyant femininity and comedic relief, the 2023 remake integrates modern slang and English expressions reflecting broader cultural and generational shifts. Overall, the analysis highlights the dual role of media in reinforcing and challenging gender norms. By situating these portrayals within Indonesian popular culture, the research contributes to a deeper understanding of how cinema mediates perceptions of minority gender identities, showing how performance and representation can both reproduce and contest dominant social expectations.

Abstract

This research aims to describe and map the use of textual elements in the advertising discourse of Tropicana Slim sweetener products. The approach used in this research is Guy Cook's advertising discourse analysis, which focuses on the form of the text. The data in this study are in the form of words, phrases, sentences, speech, jingles, and soundtracks in advertising discourse contained in Tropicana Slim Sweetener advertisements. The data sources used in this study are 5 Tropicana Slim Sweetener advertising videos in 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024, accessed through the official Tropicana Slim YouTube channel. This research is qualitative. Data were collected using the observation method, followed by note-taking and documentation. Data analysis was conducted using the agih and padan methods (methods of linguistic analysis that involve distribution and matching approaches). In addition, Guy Cook's theory of advertising discourse analysis was used to analyze the data. These findings indicate that Tropicana Slim's advertisements from 2020 to 2024 employ various linguistic forms deliberately chosen to reinforce their persuasive message. This overall strategy demonstrates that Tropicana Slim consistently combines carefully planned linguistic elements to shape the product's image as a healthy choice while strengthening the ad's appeal to consumers.

Abstract

This study investigates the conceptual metaphor of anxiety in Buzz, the third album by Indonesian singer NIKI, from a cognitive linguistic perspective. Anxiety, as a blended emotional and cognitive experience, is often difficult to articulate directly, and metaphor provides a means to externalize such subjective states. This research analyzes how metaphorical expressions in NIKI’s lyrics conceptualize anxiety and how these are structured through image schemas. Using a qualitative descriptive method, data were collected from 13 songs on the album and transcribed into narrative texts. From 462 lines of lyrics, 66 metaphorical expressions were identified, and 16 of them were classified as anxiety-related metaphors. The analysis employs Conceptual Metaphor Theory and Image Schema Theory to examine the cognitive mappings involved. The findings reveal five metaphorical concepts of anxiety: ANXIETY IS EFFORT, PAIN, RELATION, PROTECTION, and DIRECTION, which are realized through image schemas such as FORCE, CONTAINER, SPACE, EXISTENCE, and UNITY. The dominant schema, SPACE, reflects the spatial orientation and instability associated with emotional disorientation. These results demonstrate that metaphor in song lyrics not only enhances aesthetic expression but also serves as a cognitive tool for expressing internal psychological struggles. This study contributes to cognitive linguistics by offering insight into how complex emotions like anxiety are represented in contemporary music discourse. This insight may inform mental health awareness and highlight music’s role in helping listeners process and articulate emotional experiences.

Abstract

Humor and translanguaging are increasingly prominent in digital communication; however, limited research has explored their intersection in Indonesian social media discourse, where local and global languages creatively merge. This gap leaves unanswered questions about how humorous and multilingual practices operate in online spaces, especially in contexts of cultural hybridity and diverse language contact. This study examines linguistic creativity in humorous translanguaging on Indonesian social media, specifically on the X platform (formerly Twitter). Using Fairclough’s three-dimensional model of Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA), the research analyzes three humorous tweets posted by the popular Indonesian account @handokotjung, focusing on spelling manipulation, wordplay, and puns. The findings reveal that users blend multiple languages, including Indonesian, English, Sundanese, and Arabic loanwords, to produce homophonic, homonymic, and semantically playful expressions that resonate with emotional, cultural, and relational themes. The playful discourse in these tweets evokes humor while also communicating messages of romantic longing, cultural belonging, and sociolinguistic negotiation. The study underscores five aspects of humorous translanguaging in digital discourse: fostering inclusivity, showcasing linguistic inventiveness, enabling emotional expression, enhancing virality, and transcending language boundaries. These insights contribute to understanding how digital users utilize hybrid linguistic resources to construct identities, critique social norms, and create shared meaning in online communities. By foregrounding intersections among humor, creativity, and multilingual expression, this research offers a nuanced lens on evolving dynamics of language use in the digital era and highlights the pedagogical and sociocultural relevance of humorous translanguaging practices.
