Abstract

Onomatopoeia in comics is often viewed primarily as phonetic imitation, with limited attention to its visual semiotic construction. This study examines how typographic, positional, and chromatic features systematically construct onomatopoeic expressions in twenty selected panels from Avatar: The Last Airbender – The Promise (2012). Employing qualitative content analysis, the research integrates Peirce’s triadic semiotic model (representamen–object–interpretant) with Kress and van Leeuwen’s visual grammar. Findings reveal that typography iconically mimics sound qualities (e.g., jagged forms for intensity), placement creates indexical vectors simulating motion and causality, and colour modulates emotional and symbolic interpretation (e.g., warm hues for fire related violence, cooler tones for air/earth elements). These features converge to enhance sensory immersion and reinforce the narrative’s postcolonial themes of power, trauma, and reconciliation. Unlike prior studies emphasising auditory or typological aspects, this research proposes a comprehensive multimodal framework, advancing comic semiotics and visual meaning-making in graphic storytelling.

Abstract

This article examines the portrayal of female ghost characters in 30 Indonesian horror movies released between 2020 and 2025, analyzing their prevalence through the lens of Stuart Hall's theory of representation. A qualitative approach will be employed for the purpose of examination. The study posits that female ghosts serve as potent symbolic representations of social and cultural anxieties. A tripartite framework is used, focusing on the construction of language, images, and cultural symbols with the main analytical categories: gender norms, ritual practices, mythology, and spiritual beliefs. The data reveal that female ghosts are used to symbolise women who have been violated, betrayed, or forced to transgress established socio-cultural boundaries. The continued predominance of these figures reflects the horror genre's crucial function as a cultural tool for reflecting and regulating society's most deeply rooted gender ideologies.

Abstract

This study explored the integration of Literature Circles within the Teaching and Learning Cycle framework to enhance reading comprehension of expository texts among vocational high school students. Employing a qualitative case study design, data were gathered through classroom observations, reflective journals, and semi-structured interviews with thirty-two students and analyzed using thematic analysis. The results revealed that each stage of the Teaching and Learning Cycle: Building Knowledge of the Field, Modeling of the Text, Joint Construction, and Independent Construction, played a distinctive role in supporting comprehension development, while Literature Circles provided collaborative opportunities for discussion, critical engagement, and shared meaning-making. The integration of both frameworks fostered cognitive, linguistic, and affective growth, transforming reading into a more engaging and student-centered process. Challenges such as limited technical vocabulary and initial communication anxiety were progressively mitigated through teacher scaffolding and peer collaboration. Overall, the findings highlight that this hybrid approach offers a powerful pedagogical model for vocational EFL contexts by combining structure with learner autonomy, enhancing comprehension, motivation, and communicative confidence. The study contributes to the growing body of genre-based and collaborative learning research, offering practical implications for teachers aiming to implement integrative literacy instruction in vocational education.

Abstract

Film functions as a medium through which memory and identity are constructed, particularly in the context of family relationships. The present study draws upon Maurice Halbwachs' theory of collective and individual memory to analyze the father-daughter relationship depicted in the film Aftersun. A plethora of studies have previously examined the nexus of memory and identity in cinematic works. However, research that explores the intricate interplay between collective and individual memory within the context of intimate family relationships remains under-explored. The present study aims to analyze how Calum and Sophie's shared experiences shape their emotional closeness, as well as how Sophie, as an adult, reinterprets her childhood memories to reconstruct her understanding of herself and her father. The data were collected through repeated viewings, dialogue transcription, and selection of relevant scenes, employing qualitative descriptive methods. The findings indicate that collective memory, manifested through shared activities and dialogues, fosters cohesion and relational identity. Conversely, unshared individual memories influence Calum's role as a father. In adulthood, Sophie engages in a process of self-reflection and identity reconstruction, working through her memories of childhood to reinterpret her shared identity with her father.

Abstract

This study examines the morphosyntactic realization of experiencer constructions in Indonesian using corpus-based data. A qualitative analysis was conducted on 500 clauses collected from the Indonesian CQPweb corpus and spoken data from YouTube. Applying distributional analysis and the X-Bar framework, the study investigates how experiencers and stimuli are structurally encoded across different verb classes. The findings reveal three major construction types: experiencer as subject, experiencer as object, and datival experiencer. These constructions systematically correlate with psychological verb classes and display variation in argument realization. Indonesian encodes experiencer roles through syntactic position and prepositional marking rather than morphological case. This research provides the first systematic corpus-based account of Indonesian experiencer constructions and contributes to broader discussions on argument structure and semantic role mapping in Austronesian languages.

Abstract

The necessity of equipping students for multicultural interactions has become progressively vital in higher education.  Students of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) must develop both linguistic proficiency and reflective awareness, along with social sensitivity, as they engage with culturally diverse contexts.  Many learners, however, acquire only theoretical cultural knowledge, lacking introspective skills and emotional insight.  This study seeks to develop and assess a reflective deep learning module based on the ADDIE (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation) framework to improve students' social awareness in cross-cultural settings.  Data were acquired using needs analysis questionnaires, reflective journals, interviews, and classroom observations, utilizing a research and development methodology including 24 sixth-semester students in the analysis phase and 10 students in the pilot phase. Research indicates that reflective journaling, case-based learning, role-playing, attentive observation, and experiencing cross-cultural simulations markedly enhanced students' capacity to interpret cultural differences, empathize with others, and respond effectively to intercultural issues.  The kids' narratives illustrate a shift from superficial cultural acknowledgment to profound emotional, cognitive, and behavioral understanding.  This study enhances the existing research on reflective deep learning as a transformational pedagogical method in EFL teaching, presenting a viable strategy for fostering cross-cultural sensitivity in higher education institutions.

Abstract

This study examines the use of the One Piece Jolly Roger flag as a symbolic resource in youth-led protest movements in Indonesia, Nepal, and the Philippines. Employing a descriptive qualitative approach, the research applies Critical Discourse Analysis, drawing on Fairclough’s discourse framework and van Dijk’s socio-cognitive perspective, alongside visual–semiotic analysis. The data consist of three representative protest images—one from each country—supported by related media texts from international news coverage. The findings reveal that although the same pop-culture symbol circulates transnationally, its meanings are locally rearticulated: the flag functions as satirical political critique in Indonesia, as confrontational resistance in Nepal, and as a tool of digitally mediated mobilization and accountability in the Philippines. These variations demonstrate how youth activists strategically adapt global popular culture to express localized political grievances while maintaining a shared discourse of resistance. This study contributes to discussions on youth activism and visual political communication by highlighting how fictional symbols can operate as powerful discursive instruments in contemporary protest movements.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the role of management principles in improving the effectiveness of Arabic language learning programs in Madrasah Tsanawiyah in Pekanbaru City, Indonesia, with a focus on the principles of reciprocity and centralization. Previous studies have rarely integrated reward systems and centralized curriculum policies in Arabic language learning management. This study employed a descriptive qualitative approach involving two Arabic language teachers and one madrasah principal from MTs Masmur and MTs Al-Fajar. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. The findings show that the application of management principles planning, organizing, implementation, and evaluation contributes to improving learning effectiveness. The principle of reciprocity enhances teacher motivation through financial and non-financial rewards, which encourage more innovative teaching practices. Meanwhile, the principle of centralization helps maintain curriculum consistency but may limit teachers' flexibility in adapting learning to students’ needs. The hybrid management model, defined as the integration of centralized curriculum standards with limited teacher autonomy in instructional practices, has proven to support adaptive and effective Arabic language learning. This study emphasizes the importance of balancing reward systems and centralized policies to improve teacher performance and the effectiveness of Arabic language learning in the madrasah environment.

Abstract

This study analyzes the management of the Arabic language teacher recruitment program in Pekanbaru City, Riau, focusing on the stages of recruitment, selection, placement, needs planning, and teacher competency standards. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation involving eight participants from two representative schools. The findings indicate that the recruitment process has generally been well-structured through stages of needs analysis, administrative screening, interviews, and competency testing, although objectivity and transparency remain key challenges. Teacher requirement planning is based on student-teacher ratios and curriculum demands but is often constrained by changes in field conditions. Competency and qualification standards largely follow Permendiknas No. 16 of 2007, yet digital literacy and pedagogical innovation require improvement. Overall, this study contributes a contextual framework for managing Arabic teacher recruitment that integrates professionalism, transparency, and Islamic educational values to enhance the quality and sustainability of Arabic language education.

Abstract

English proficiency is vital for workplace communication in globalized, technology-driven environments, yet few studies examine vocational high school students' perceptions, which differ from those of general secondary education students due to industry-specific needs. This study investigates eleventh-grade students' perceptions of English for workplace readiness and identifies essential skills. Using a mixed-methods design, quantitative data from a 22-item Likert-scale questionnaire (n=180) and qualitative data from semi-structured interviews (n=20) were analyzed via descriptive statistics and thematic analysis. Findings reveal strong positive perceptions of English for career development and employability, with speaking as the most valued skill (mean = 3.38). However, there is a mismatch between perceptions and workplace demands, as students prioritize speaking over reading/writing. Qualitative themes highlight instructional gaps and proactive self-learning. Vocational curricula should integrate practical, industry-aligned activities to enhance readiness.
