Abstract

This article discusses a semantic analysis of the denotative and connotative meanings in three poems by Langston Hughes: "Dreams," "Mother to Son," and "Harlem." The research uses a qualitative descriptive approach with the theoretical framework of meaning by Geoffrey Leech (1981) and the semiotic approach of Daniel Chandler (2007). The analysis results show that each poem not only conveys individual aspirations and challenges but also represents the collective condition of marginalized communities. The connotative meanings of words and metaphors in the poems serve as a form of resistance to social oppression, implying resilience and emotional depth rooted in a history of struggle. Thus, this study demonstrates that literary works are not only a medium for artistic expression but also an instrument that responds to social injustice and inspires collective awareness in the fight for freedom.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the controversy of online learning in English language education, highlighting its impact on accessibility, student engagement, and communication skills development. The focus of the study is on an in-depth analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of online learning at Mukhtar Syafaat, an educational institution that has implemented this method intensively post-pandemic. The research method uses a mixed approach with interviews, observations, and documentation, which aims to obtain qualitative and quantitative data that support a more comprehensive understanding. The results of the study indicate that online learning provides flexibility and ease of access, but faces significant challenges in increasing student engagement and social interaction. The lack of interactive pedagogical design and minimal support for collaborative technology are the main causes of dysfunction in several aspects of learning. However, with better technology integration and a collaborative approach, online learning has great potential to support inclusive and adaptive education. The contribution of this study is to provide a new perspective in the development of more effective online learning methods, especially for English language education. This study is also an important reference for educators, policy makers, and technology developers in creating online learning systems that support the development of language skills holistically.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the strategy of translating English slang based on TikTok content by fifth semester students of English Education Department Universitas Islam Madura. Using a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through a translation worksheet and semi-structured interviews with 23 students. Ten slang words from TikTok were chosen as translation material. The results showed that the most dominant strategy used was equivalence, where students tended to choose the appropriate meaning in the target culture, such as translating "you bet" to "pasti" or "oke", and "slay" to "memukau". Other strategies such as adaptation, expansion, and free translation are also used according to context. However, mistakes are still found, especially when students translate literally, such as "pick me" into "choosing me", which causes the meaning is not right. From the results of the interview, the main obstacles in translating slang are idioms and cultural references, as well as the cultural distance between the source language and the target.  This research shows the importance of cultural awareness and bilingual ability to translate slang contextually and effectively.

Abstract

Abstract This study investigated the impact of peer interaction and self-efficacy on student engagement in online learning among 100 tenth-grade students at SMAN 1 Mancak, Serang, Banten, Indonesia. The primary objective was to explore the influence of peer interaction and self-efficacy on students' engagement in online learning environments. Specifically, the study aimed to determine the extent to which peer interaction influences student engagement, how self-efficacy affects student engagement, and whether these two factors jointly predict levels of student engagement. Employing a quantitative survey design and multiple linear regression analysis, the research examined the individual and combined effects of these variables on students' behavioral, emotional, and cognitive engagement in virtual learning environments. The findings revealed a strong positive correlation between peer interaction and self-efficacy with student engagement (R = 0.722, R2 = 0.521). Both peer interaction (B = 0.481, p < 0.001, β = 0.418) and self-efficacy (B = 0.402, p < 0.001, β = 0.404) independently and significantly predicted student engagement, with nearly equal relative contributions. These results underscore the critical roles of both social connections and individual beliefs in one's capabilities in fostering active participation in online learning. The study highlights the importance of designing online learning environments that facilitate meaningful peer interactions and enhance students' self-efficacy to improve overall engagement and learning outcomes.

Abstract

This study investigates the implementation of the Multimodal Assessment Framework (MAF) proposed by Ross et al. (2020) within a junior high school English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classroom. In response to the growing emphasis on multimodal literacy in 21st-century education, the research explores how assessment practices can be reimagined to align with students' diverse meaning-making capacities across visual, verbal, aural, and spatial modes. Using a qualitative case study design, the study involved classroom observations, semi-structured interviews, and the analysis of student-created multimodal artefacts. A rubric adapted from the MAF focusing on four key dimensions: criticality, cultivating creativity, holism, and valuing multimodality was used to evaluate student performance. Findings reveal that the framework enhanced student engagement and creativity, encouraged purposeful use of multimodal resources, and supported inclusive assessment practices. Challenges such as limited teacher familiarity, curriculum constraints, and unequal access to technology emerged. The study reveals the potential of multimodal assessment to foster equitable and meaningful learning in secondary EFL contexts. The results contribute to the growing body of literature on multimodal assessment and offer practical implications for pedagogy and policy in resource-constrained, multilingual educational environments.

Abstract

This study examines the sociolinguistic phenomenon of parbhâsan alos, a variation of Madurese language that reflects respect, politeness, and cultural attitudes among santri putri of Islamic Boarding School. Although a number of studies have discussed Madurese language in general, studies that specifically explore the role of language as a reflection of cultural attitudes in the Islamic boarding school environment, especially among santri putri, are still very limited. This study aims to understand how language variations are used as a reflection of social and cultural values in everyday life in the Islamic boarding school environment. The method used is descriptive qualitative with a case study design. Data were collected through non- participant observation, documentation, and field notes for two weeks. The results of the study indicate that bhâsa èngghi-bhunten is used when interacting with the caretaker of islamic boarding school, ustadz, and administrators of the Islamic boarding school; bhâsa engghi-enten is used in conversations between santri putri; while the bhâsa enjâ’-iyâ is used when interacting with younger people. The use of this language variation is influenced by the rules of the Islamic boarding school which require the use of polite and polite Madurese language in everyday life. For example, when one of a santri putri answer the call of the ustadz by saying, "Èngghi, ka'dinto Ustadz?" (“Yes, what's wrong Ustadz?”). while lowering the head and bowing slightly, a form of respect that reflects politeness verbally and nonverbally. This finding shows that language in islamic boarding school not only functions as a means of communication, but also as a medium for cultural transmission that forms an identity based on respect and maintains the traditional hierarchical structure in Islamic education.

Abstract

This study investigates grammatical cohesive devices in textbook reading passages. Drawing on established cohesion theory by (M.A.K and Hasan 1975), the researcher analyzed dialogues, recount texts, and descriptive texts contained in the book by using a descriptive qualitative methodology. The findings revealed 281 distinct cohesive devices across four categories: references (190), conjunctions (85), substitution (4), and ellipsis (2), with reference being the most dominant. While the passages demonstrated coherence and accessibility, the limited variety of cohesive devices and vocabulary constrains their effectiveness as tools for cultivating critical thinking skills among students. This research highlights the relationship between textual cohesion and pedagogical effectiveness in educational materials designed to foster higher-order thinking.

Abstract

This study investigates the patterns of kinship address term usage within the family interactions of the Malay community in Marok Kecil Village, Lingga Regency, Riau Islands. Using a descriptive qualitative method, the research examines how speakers choose address terms based on relational roles such as age, kinship status, and social hierarchy. Data were collected through observation, audio recordings, field notes, and structured interviews with 100 participants from 50 families, covering a range of age groups and kinship positions. The findings reveal three dominant usage patterns: nonreciprocal downward (older to younger), nonreciprocal upward (younger to older), and symmetrical reciprocal (among peers). The choice of address terms is shaped by factors such as generational differences, situational formality, and sociocultural norms. The study employs Ervin-Tripp’s (1972) alternation and co-occurrence rules to interpret how linguistic behavior reflects familial roles and traditional values in the Riau Malay context. These findings contribute to a deeper understanding of how language is used to encode social relationships and maintain cultural continuity within traditional family systems.
