Abstract

This research aims to explore the challenges faced by English teacher in implementing Project-Based Learning (PjBL) in the context of the Merdeka Curriculum in Vocational High Schools (SMK). Using descriptive qualitative method, data was collected through non participant observation conducted three times and fifteen minutes of semi-structural interviews with an EFL teacher at SMKN 5 Pangkep. The findings reveal that teacher encountered various obstacles, such as limited class hours, students' lack of understanding of project concepts, and insufficient opportunities for professional development. These findings highlight the need for ongoing support, whether in the form of training or policy adjustments, to ensure that PjBL implementation can be carried out more effectively in line with the spirit of the Merdeka Curriculum.

Abstract

This research explores the types of external conflicts and conflict management strategies used by the main character, Joel, in The Last of Us Season 1. Using a qualitative descriptive method, the research analyzes all nine episodes by observing, identifying, and classifying Joel’s external conflicts based on Kenney (1966) theory man vs. man, man vs. nature, and man vs. society. It also applies the conflict management strategies from Thomas & Kilmann (2012): competing, avoiding, collaborating, accommodating, and compromising. The findings reveal 17 external conflicts, with man vs. man and man vs. nature each accounting for 35%, and man vs. society 30%. In responding to these conflicts, Joel mostly uses the competing strategy (53%) and avoiding strategy (47%). Competing is seen when he takes direct, forceful action, while avoiding appears in situations that are emotionally overwhelming or where he lacks control. This research is significant for media and literary studies because it shows how conflict in a post-apocalyptic narrative shapes character development and reflects human survival instincts. By focusing on one character across a full season, the research offers a detailed look at how external pressures influence behavior and decision-making in extreme conditions. However, the scope is limited to Joel and does not cover internal conflict or perspectives from other characters. Future studies are encouraged to explore more characters, compare seasons, or examine similar themes in different genres to gain broader insights.

Abstract

Reading is essential for students’ academic development, particularly in enhancing their writing ability. Nevertheless, many students are reluctant to read and encounter difficulties in writing analytical exposition texts, which require critical thinking and clear organization. This research investigates the correlation between students’ reading habits and their ability to write analytical exposition texts in the Indonesian EFL context, specifically at MAN 1 Lamongan during the academic year 2023/2024. The research employed a quantitative method with a correlational design. Participants were 34 eleventh-grade students from the Ilmu Bahasa dan Budaya (IBB) class, selected purposively. Data were obtained through a reading habits questionnaire and a writing test of analytical exposition texts, and then analyzed using SPSS 23. The findings reveal that students’ reading habits were generally categorized as “good,” while their writing ability fell into the “excellent” category. A strong and significant positive correlation was identified between reading habits and writing ability. These results highlight the importance of cultivating students’ reading habits as a foundation for developing stronger writing skills. This research contributes to English language education in Indonesia by emphasizing the role of reading in enhancing writing proficiency. Teachers are encouraged to implement effective and engaging strategies that foster reading motivation, thereby improving students’ ability to produce well-structured analytical writing. The findings may also serve as a valuable reference for future research with a broader scope.

Abstract

This study explores the analysis of vocabulary usage in the online game application Mobile Legends at Junior High School. Using a qualitative design, the study involved 10 ninth-grade students as participants, selected for their active engagement with the game. Data were collected through observation, semi-structured interviews, and documentation. The findings reveal that students frequently acquired vocabulary related to gameplay, such as cooldown (CD), buff, nerf, ulti, and backdoor. These terms were retained because they were repeatedly used and directly connected to in-game actions. Students reported that the interactive features of Mobile Legends, including quick chat, voice chat, and subtitles, facilitated vocabulary learning in an authentic context. The results indicate that Mobile Legends can serve as a supplementary medium for vocabulary acquisition among Generation Z learners. However, potential negative impacts, such as exposure to offensive language and excessive play, must also be considered. The study suggests that game-based learning should be integrated strategically into EFL classrooms to maximize benefits while minimizing risks.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of the Montessori method, using the Large Movable Alphabet (LMA), on improving the beginning reading skills of first-grade students. A quantitative approach with a one-group pretest-posttest pre-experimental design was employed. The subjects were 20 first-grade students at State Elementary School 1 Pasuruan in the even semester of the 2024/2025 academic year, selected via saturated sampling. The intervention was implemented for four weeks through Montessori-based learning sessions using the LMA. Results showed a significant increase in the mean score from 57.75 (SD = 8.12) in the pretest to 83.25 (SD = 6.47) in the posttest. A paired-samples t-test confirmed a statistically significant difference (t(19) = -12.47, p < .001). The effect size was very large (Cohen's d = 2.79), and the N-Gain score was 0.586 (58.6%), categorized as moderate. This indicates that the Montessori method using the LMA effectively improved students' beginning reading skills. The practical implication is that this method can be an alternative, motivating strategy for early reading instruction in elementary schools, actively engaging students through multisensory media. Recommendations for future research include testing the method with a larger sample, a control group, and over a longer duration.

Abstract

Language acts as the main means of communication and self-identity, which continues to develop along with social, cultural, and technological changes. Among teenagers, slang is an important part of informal communication, enabling the formation of group identity and solidarity. The use of slang language among teenagers in Alasrajah Village, Bangkalan Regency are very unique. This study tries to analyze the use of slang language by exploring the forms, functions, and social and cultural factors that play a role in its formation. This research uses a descriptive qualitative method by applying a sociolinguistic approach. This research was conducted in Alasrajah Village, Bangkalan, Madura, East Java on 2024. The results of the study identified five main types of slang: (1) fresh and creative slang at about 38,48%, clipping at about 15, 38%, compounding 15, 38%, acronym 15, 38%, and imitative 15, 38%. Each of which has its own social and communicative functions. Moreover, the use of slang in Alasrajah strengthens the social identity, facilitates informal communication, and expresses resistance to formal language rules. The main factors in the formation of this slang language are the influence of social media and local dialects, which together create a linguistic expression that is distinctive and rooted in cultural identity. This study provides insight into how language functions as a means of communication and a reflection of the social dynamics that develop in local communities.

Abstract

The American frontier has long been celebrated as a narrative of progress and divine destiny, yet this myth conceals the colonial violence and religious extremism that shaped U.S. expansion. This study investigates how the Netflix miniseries American Primeval (2025) deconstructs that mythology by exposing the intersections of religion, race, and power within nineteenth-century Mormon expansion. Drawing on Mohrman’s (2022) analysis of how religious ideologies intensify settler colonial violence, this research examines how American Primeval portrays faith not as salvation but as an instrument of domination. Using qualitative content analysis and guided by settler colonial theory, the study analyzes selected episodes (2–5) focusing on dialogues, character arcs, and visual framing that reveal how spiritual conviction was weaponized to justify land seizure, racial hierarchy, and intra-settler violence. The findings show that the series reframes Mormonism as both a faith of refuge and a mechanism of control—demonstrating how the pursuit of Zion transformed into the reproduction of colonial systems. By foregrounding Indigenous resistance and exposing the moral contradictions of frontier religiosity, American Primeval challenges the enduring myth of American exceptionalism. Addressing the research gap in the representation of Mormon expansion within contemporary visual media, this study contributes to scholarship on settler colonialism by illustrating how screen narratives can revise historical memory and critique the theological foundations of conquest. Ultimately, the series serves as a cinematic act of historical revision that reclaims the frontier as a site of trauma, resistance, and moral reckoning.

Abstract

An English song is not only a form of entertainment but also an effective tool for learning languages, especially for students learning English as a foreign language. However, figurative language is often not taught in a practical way in many Indonesian classrooms, making it difficult for students to grasp non-literal expressions. This study applied a qualitative descriptive method by analyzing Taylor Swift’s “All Too Well (10 Minute Version)” using Knickerbocker and Reninger’s (1963) theory. The analysis identified 31 instances of figurative language across nine types, namely hyperbole, irony, metaphor, personification, simile, synecdoche, allusion, metonymy, and paradox, with hyperbole and metaphor appearing most frequently. In addition, perspectives from five students at Universitas Negeri Semarang were gathered through open-ended questionnaires to explore the pedagogical implications of using songs in English learning. The findings showed that students perceived song-based learning as engaging and motivating, reporting improved comprehension of figurative expressions and increased classroom participation. These results indicate that integrating popular songs into English lessons can meaningfully enhance student engagement and foster deeper understanding of figurative language in authentic contexts.
