This paper analyses media portrayals of verbal bullying, including its definition, types, and its negative consequences on both the victims and perpetrators, through the lens of Dhar Mann videos. Bullying can be physical, verbal, or relational, and is usually repetitive and involves a power imbalance between the perpetrator and the victim. This paper highlights that the media plays a significant role in shaping the public perception of bullying, and the issue has gained traction through mass media platforms such as YouTube. YouTube has become one of the most famous platforms for establishing current news, entertainment, and educational materials. This paper analyzes the videos that were uploaded to the Dhar Mann YouTube channel, a well-known channel which posts inspirational videos that aim to teach moral lessons. This study reveals that Dhar Mann's videos exhibited different types of verbal bullying and how they occur. Six Dhar Mann videos were chosen and were analysed using a qualitative analysis involving code-scheming and narrative analysis using Krippendorff's (2018) content analysis framework. It can be concluded that verbal bullying can be classified into taunting, insulting, threatening, blaming, and name-calling. This analysis is expected to establish the foundation for future studies on verbal bullying discourse.

An illustrious figure of Ming-Qing fiction, Feng Menglong (1574-1646), compiled and edited a thought-provoking trilogy of short story anthologies towards the demise of the Ming (1368-1644) dynasty, which contributes to the thriving development of vernacular fiction. The first fascicle of the trilogy is an anthology entitled Stories Old and New (and subsequently Stories to Enlighten the World) that was published in 1620 and translated by Cyril Birch in 1958. In this research, I explore Birch's rendering that has not attained enough academic attention. I propound that the translation abounds with literal translations and transliterations, which is consistent with the approach of "˜hard translation' advocated by a renowned writer and translator Lu Xun, aka Zhou Shuren (1881-1936). The "˜hard translation' strategies can be embodied by Birch's translation of expressions pertaining to historical personages, religious and literary allusions, as well as sayings and idioms. Furthermore, Birch enriches literal translation and transliteration with illuminating notes and adopts the strategy of adaptation, so as to strike a balance between faithfulness and fluency.

Focusing on the use of discourse markers (DM), this study investigated the use of DM like in dyadic communication in American Spotify podcasts. This research aimed to understand the linguistic behavior of podcasters in using DM like during their podcasts and to compare the spoken corpus of female and male speakers collected from the podcast. Corpus analysis assisted by AntConc 3.5.9. was applied to determine (1) which gender primarily used DM like within the corpus, (2) the significance between the usage of DM like and the speaker's gender, and (3) the functions of using DM like by each gender based on Mí¼ller's (2005) taxonomy of DM like functions. The analysis portrayed that male speakers prefer to use DM like more than female podcast speakers, which is in contrast to previous studies claiming that female speakers used more DM like than male speakers. The difference in results could be attributed to the 17-year gap in the study, which has potentially led to changes in the inclination of using DM like between genders. However, despite male speakers' higher usage of DM like, there is still no correlation between the use of DM like and the speaker's gender, aligning with previous research. Lastly, this study revealed that both genders used the same DM like functions, although the occurrences varied.

Outdoor public signs found in Bali contain ideologies and messages that can be mistakenly understood, potentially triggering conflicts. This study aims to identify and analyze the underlying ideology and the language functions in outdoor public signs found in Bali from the perspective of critical pragmatics and linguistic landscape. The data of this study were outdoor public signs that contain power relation from government and private stakeholders. The data were collected through observation and photography. The data were analyzed through referential and pragmatic identity methods with descriptive-qualitative approach. The theories applied were Halliday's context of situation, Yule's speech act, Fairclough's critical discourse analysis, and Saussure's signifier and signified. The results show that outdoor public signs in Bali have underlying ideologies, such as ethnocentrism, xenocentrism, and ecologism. The language functions are directive, commisive, and expressive. The ideologies represented by the language used can potentially cause conflicts as they may be sensitive to certain ethnic groups. The findings highlight the significance of critically examining public signage to understand its influence in shaping social dynamics and potential for unintended consequences.

In the ongoing pursuit of continuous pedagogical improvement, eclectic teachers find themselves inundated with a multitude of engaging approaches, methods, and techniques. The selection of these should ideally be based on informed pedagogy, with due consideration given to the particular needs of the learners. Through reflective self-inquiry , this paper aims to reveal how a thoughtful teacher reflects on her everyday teaching practices in order to transform them into a more constructivist model of instruction by the stages of initiation, focus on the self, data collection, taking accountability, iterative reflection, and information generation. A description is provided of how the EFL writing classes taught by the author at Universitas Negeri Yogyakarta were managed. This is then confronted with some literature about andragogy and constructivist learning, providing a proposed model for improving future constructivist-based EFL writing instruction for adult learners. The constructivist approach to EFL writing proposed involves several key steps, from conditioning, collaborative inquiry, engaging feedback, work display, to reflective exam, all of which become comprehensive stages within one semester learning in writing courses.

This research aims to identify (1) strategies of linguistic incivility used in student-lecturer communication, and (2) the aspects of speech acts used that represent linguistic incivility. The research analyzed data from six WhatsApp groups that include students and lecturers. The distributional method was used to analyze linguistic incivility representations and the identity method to analyze linguistic incivility strategies. The results demonstrated that the incivility strategies used include (1) respecting other people's time (34%), (2) asserting oneself (19%), (3) refraining from idle complaints (16%), (4) speaking kindly (9%), (5) listening (6%), (6) respecting even a subtle "no" (6%), (7) respecting others' opinions (6%), and (8) not shifting responsibility and blame (3%). Furthermore, students violated the rules of linguistic civility by these actions: initiating conversations without greetings, using excessive words, expressing personal complaints, conveying opinions impolitely, and shifting blame. Recognizing the importance of linguistic civility in student-lecturer communication is crucial for fostering respectful and productive interactions.

The International English Language Testing System (IELTS) Writing Task 1 is used to test participants' ability to select and report main ideas, describe and compare data, identify trends in factual information, or describe a process. This research describes the types of questions in IELTS Writing Task 1 and how to write a summary of visual information usually in the form of a graph, chart, or diagram in IELTS Writing Task 1. This research uses a descriptive qualitative approach. The analysis shows that IELTS Academic Writing Task 1 emphasizes graph interpretation and analysis. In this activity, verbal proficiency must be multiplied by the ability to comprehend and represent information as graphs (graphicacy). The provided information may be directly reflective of what we see (as in pictures or drawings) or more abstract, such as spatial (maps, plans, and diagrams) or numerical (charts, graphs, and tables) information (as in tables and graphs. There are several types of IELTS Writing Task 1, for example, pie charts, bar charts, bar graphs, line graphs, tables, maps, diagram processes, line and bar charts, also pie and bar charts. Each form of data visualization has its way of describing it. To complete the IELTS Writing Task 1, participants are required to write a minimum of 150 words of writing or an essay. We can divide the number of words into 3 paragraphs (introduction, body, and conclusion) to make it easier to write an essay according to the data presented. The IELTS Writing Task 1 can be fairly challenging, particularly if we have not prepared. Overcoming these challenges requires good preparation, consistent practice, and a deep understanding of the IELTS format, structure, and requirements.

Lexical density is often overlooked by authors of textbooks for foreign learners of the Indonesian language. However, the level of lexical density significantly influences the accessibility of reading materials for their intended audience. As developers of language teaching materials, particularly for the Indonesian language, lexical density must be considered to ensure the appropriateness of instructional materials at the appropriate level. Taking this issue into account, this study aims to evaluate the extent of lexical density in the instructional materials designed for teaching Indonesian to foreign learners, developed by the APPBIPA Central Sulawesi, at the BIPA 1 level or equivalent to CEFR level A1. To address this question, descriptive research with content analysis was conducted by analyzing the reading texts found in the textbook using the lexical density formula developed by Ure, and identifying the content word classes and their functions. Among the ten units analyzed, there were 36 reading texts that indicated that the ongoing development of this book still maintains a high level of lexical density, reaching 64.13%. This high lexical density is attributed to the differences in linguistic systems and the content of the instructional materials, which generally have a density in the range of 50-60%. This research shows that Indonesian language textbooks for non-native speakers still have high lexical density for beginner levels. Therefore, adjustments are needed based on the level and learning goals of the current BIPA curriculum.

As an iconic intellectual, novelist, translator and poet in the 20th century, é’±é’Ÿä¹¦ Qian Zhongshu (1910-1998) was not only celebrated for literary aptitude, epitomised by his chef-d'oeuvre å›´åŸŽ Wei Cheng "˜Fortress Besieged' (serialised 1946-1947), but also for his unrivalled erudition, multilingualism and critical acumen. Qian Zhongshu was versed in Chinese and Western studies, encompassing literature, philosophy, psychology, history, aesthetics, etc. Qian Zhongshu's commendable scholarly research can be exemplified by an encyclopaedic masterpiece entitled ç®¡é”¥ç¼– Guan Zhui Bian "˜Limited Views: Essays on Ideas and Letters' (1979), which is constituted of a prodigious amount of reading notes and essays written in concise, recondite Classical Chinese. Notwithstanding its self-deprecating title, Guan Zhui Bian has attained critical plaudits. In a web-based time-travel novel ä¸Šå“å¯’å£« Shangpin Han Shi "˜A Top-Ranked Impoverished Scholar' (2009-2011) composed by a writer pseudonymised as è´¼é“ä¸‰ç—´ Zeidaosanchi, the author deployed elements from Guan Zhui Bian, which defies the stereotype that male-authored and male-oriented online narratives are prone to be "˜feel-good writing' marked by æ„æ·« yi yin "˜lust of the mind; mental pornography'. To be more specific, the author drew on Qian Zhongshu's elaboration of çŽ„å¦ xuanxue (Lit. "˜learning in the profound') and analyses of metaphor.

Teaching practicum is crucial for pre-service EFL teachers' professional development. Many studies have investigated student-teachers' performance in teaching practicum in various aspects. However, research on their performance in constructing test items in teaching practicum has not been found. Test construction is an essential pedagogical competence that student-teachers must master. Investigating their performance in test construction may give valuable feedback to student-teachers and for teacher education. To fill the research gap, this study conducted an item analysis of a formative test constructed by two student-teachers in a teaching practicum. It revealed that the DP of the items have good quality but the FV analysis showed there is no difficult item suggesting that they cannot make difficult questions. The test reliability is high (0.900625) but there are 6 invalid items. Three items contain grammatical errors creating students' confusion influencing the FV, DP, and the validity. It revealed that the test makers' grammar mastery may determine item quality. It suggests student-teachers improve their grammar mastery, and teacher education improves the quality of English grammar teaching and refine their curriculum of evaluation and language testing subjects and include the evaluation of student-teachers' performance in language assessment in teaching practicum program as a focus.
