Abstract

This study examines the phenomenon of code-mixing in contemporary digital discourse, specifically focusing on narrative podcasts. The study mainly aims to find out type of code mixing and analyzing the function of code-mixing in podcast. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, the study analyzes an episode of the iWil Network podcast featuring Cinta Laura Kiehl, a prominent bilingual figure in Indonesia. The data were collected through observation method by applying several techniques, such as; making verbatim transcription, taking notes and categorizing the data of code-mixing according to Hoffman (1991) typology of intra-lexical mixing, intra-sentential mixing, and code-mixing involving a change of pronunciation. Audience Design Theory by Bell (1984) was applied to explore the functions of code-switching. The findings reveal a total of 124 instances of code-mixing, dominated by intra-Sentential mixing (21%) and followed by intra-lexical mixing (79 %). Meanwhile code-mixing involving a change of pronunciation did not occur in Cinta’s Utterances, since she is very fluent in English, therefore there was no pronunciation interference. These results indicate that code-mixing serves as a functional communication strategy to enrich Indonesian conversation through lexical borrowing and discourse tags while maintaining interactional fluency. The findings show that code-switching is used strategically to emphasize important information, express identity and solidarity, clarify meaning, and index modernity and expertise

Abstract

This study examines how Dr. Lilith Ritter in Guillermo del Toro's Nightmare Alley (2021) subverts the traditional femme fatale archetype through intellectual rather than sexual power. Applying Yvonne Tasker's (1993) sociological framework of the "female hero" from Spectacular Bodies: Gender, Genre, and the Action Cinema, this qualitative film analysis investigates five key scenes featuring Ritter's interactions with the male protagonist Stanton Carlisle. The findings reveal that Ritter replaces sexual seduction with three forms of professional power: intellectual authority (using psychoanalytic tools to deconstruct masculine performance), institutional status (controlling conversations and material evidence as a psychiatrist), and psychological opacity (remaining unreadable while accurately reading others). Rather than embodying male anxiety, Ritter critiques patriarchal systems by exposing masculine fragility through competence. This research extends Tasker's sociological theory to the neo-noir genre, offering an alternative reading of the femme fatale as a critique of systemic gender inequality rather than a symbol of male insecurity.

Abstract

University students need to be able to read article journal and comprehend the content in limited time. In fact, the surveys confirmed that the students face many challenges. However, the previous research only gave a clue of the effective strategy, that is by using keywords. Hence, this research is presented to provide the recurrent expressions written in journal articles as keywords to help the students find and understand the important information easier and quicker. The researchers also classify them based on its functions. The data was taken from sentences in the Abstracts of journal articles, considering that this subsection contains a summary of all parts, and utilizing the AntCont application. By collecting 100 Abstracts taken from 50 review articles and 50 research articles, the data was firstly identified by its common lexical bundle. Further, Genre Analysis theory was utilized to classify the functions of the bundles into the statement of purpose, method, and result. After completing the analysis, the researchers found that by identifying the keywords, not all of the bundle expressions were classified into one function. Several sentences were classified into the mixture of purpose and method, or method and result. Nonetheless, the identified keywords are predictably applicable and useful to help the students obtain the prominent information from a journal article. Therefore, the findings are applicable and beneficial for university students, or general reader of journal article, who need to implement the strategy of reading journal article by acknowledging the keywords.

Abstract

Vocational EFL learners face distinct communicative demands because their curriculum emphasizes workplace-oriented English use. However, many students still hesitate to participate in English speaking activities due to psychological barriers. Drawing on the Foreign Language Anxiety (FLA) framework and MacIntyre et al. (1998) Willingness to Communicate (WTC) model, this study examined the relationship between these two constructs among Grade 10 students at a vocational high school in Jakarta, Indonesia. A quantitative correlational research design was employed involving 107 students from the Digital Business, Retail Business, and Office Management programs. Data were collected using the adapted Foreign Language Classroom Anxiety Scale (FLCAS) and the Willingness to Communicate Scale (WTCS). Both instruments demonstrated satisfactory validity and reliability, with Cronbach's Alpha coefficients of 0.757 and 0.913, respectively. Because the assumption of linearity was not satisfied, the relationship between the variables was analyzed using Spearman's Rank-Order Correlation. The analysis revealed a statistically significant negative correlation between Foreign Language Anxiety and Willingness to Communicate (ρ = −0.201, p = 0.038), The relatively weak correlation suggests that Foreign Language Anxiety is one of several factors associated with students' willingness to communicate, alongside other psychological, contextual, and instructional influences. Although the relationship was relatively weak, the findings confirm that Foreign Language Anxiety remains an important affective factor associated with vocational students' willingness to communicate. This study extends understanding of the relationship between Foreign Language Anxiety and Willingness to Communicate in the underexplored Indonesian vocational EFL context and offers practical implications for creating supportive, low-anxiety classroom environments that foster students' communicative confidence and active participation in English speaking activities.

Abstract

This research aims to examine male dominance, by focusing on hegemonic masculinity, subordinate masculinity and complete masculinity, in the drama script Already Crazy by Chairil Anwar using the theory of masculinity put forward by RW. Connell. While previous studies on masculinity in Indonesian literature have focused mostly on prose and poetry, the drama genre with its explicit dialogical and performative dimensions has not been explored as a locus for masculinity analysis. This gap is what prompted this research to apply Connell's framework to a canonical Indonesian drama script. This study used a descriptive-analytic qualitative approach. The source of the research data is the drama script Already Crazy by Chairil Anwar, with data in the form of dialogue, monologues and behavioral instructions that are relevant to the research focus. The data collection technique used is the read and record method. Data analysis is carried out by reading drama scripts repeatedly, classifying, describing, analyzing, interpreting and presenting conclusions based on research findings. The research results show that Chairil Anwar's drama script is crazy, representing male dominance through all three categories of Connell's masculinity. For example, hegemonic masculinity is apparent when Mr. Amir's emotional grief is socially interpreted as aberration, rather than as a natural human response. This dominance manifests as a strong tension between the demands of hegemonic masculinity that require men to remain strong, rational, and functional in in mourning and Mr. Amir's psychological reality is vulnerable and depressed. The social community in the manuscript, represented by neighbors, patrol officers and RT administrators, functions as a hegemonic apparatus that carries out social supervision and legitimizes Mr. Amir's marginalization. This research concludes that the play script is Mad Already is not just a story of a widower's grief, but rather a sharp social critique of the destructive impact of the construction of hegemonic masculinity on men's mental health and humanity. These findings contribute to the study of masculinity in Indonesian literary criticism and demonstrate the relevance of Connell's framework for analyzing dramatic texts in non-Western cultural contexts.

Abstract

This study investigates the effectiveness of the TikTok application in improving students’ English vocabulary skills and examines how TikTok supports vocabulary learning at SMP Negeri 7 Palopo. The study employed a quantitative pre-experimental method using a one-group pre-test and post-test design. The sample consisted of 22 eighth-grade students selected through cluster random sampling. The research instruments included vocabulary tests and questionnaires. The pre-test and post-test were administered to measure students’ vocabulary achievement before and after the treatment. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, a paired sample t-test, and the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. The findings revealed a significant improvement in students’ vocabulary after the implementation of TikTok-based learning. The mean score increased from 63.18 in the pre-test to 87.95 in the post-test, representing an improvement of approximately 39.2%. The paired sample t-test showed a significance value of 0.000 (p < 0.05), indicating a statistically significant difference between the pre-test and post-test score improvement, while only 2 students showed a decrease and 1 remained unchanged. The findings also indicated that TikTok supported vocabulary learning through audiovisual content, contextual examples, pronunciation, features, repetition, and interactive short videos that enhanced students’ engagement and vocabulary retention. Therefore, it can be concluded that TikTok is an effective learning tool for improving students’ vocabulary skills and supporting vocabulary learning in English language classrooms.

Abstract

This study investigates the influence of AI assistance on Theme choices and Thematic Progression (TP) patterns in Indonesian EFL students’ discussion texts. A qualitative comparative discourse analysis was employed using a paired-text design in which the same 20 participants produced one text independently (pre-AI) and another with ChatGPT assistance (post-AI) by direct within-subject comparison of thematic change. A total of 558 clauses were analyzed (265 pre-AI; 293 post-AI) at the clause and discourse levels using Systemic Functional Linguistics frameworks. Results indicate that AI assistance produced a notable increase in the use of unmarked topical themes +6.7%, and a corresponding decrease in the Marked Topical Themes -7.1%, while Textual Themes showed only a slight increase +0.4% and the Interpersonal Themes remained mostly stable -0.7%. Regarding TP patterns, Derived/Split Progression showed the most significant change +2.8%, while Constant/Parallel Progression decreased -3.4% and Linear/Zigzag remained stable -0.2%. The findings suggests that AI supports structural organization and coherence in EFL writing through standardization of clause structure and modest thematic elaboration, while having limited impact on interpersonal or evaluative expression. This study provides pedagogical implications for combining AI tool with explicit writing instruction in order to enhance discourse organization, thematic development, and coherence.

Abstract

Pamona traditional wedding clothes are part of the cultural heritage that contains various systems of signs and symbolic values that reflect the life view of the Pamona people. Although a number of studies have addressed the traditional wedding traditions of Pamona, studies that specifically examine the symbolic significance of elements of Pamona traditional wedding dress based on the semiotic perspective of Charles Sanders Peirce are still relatively limited. This condition results in the cultural meaning contained in every element of Pamona traditional bridal clothing that has not been comprehensively documented and interpreted in scientific studies. Therefore, this study aims to describe the symbolic meaning contained in Pamona's traditional wedding dress. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach by involving four main informants, namely Pamona traditional leaders, traditional clothing artisans, and community elders who have in-depth knowledge of Pamona traditional clothing. Data collection was carried out through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. The data obtained were analyzed using the Miles and Huberman analysis model and studied through the Charles Sanders Peirce semiotic framework. The results of the study show that each element in the Pamona traditional wedding dress contains a symbolic meaning that reflects the cultural values of the Pamona people. In men's clothing, siga is interpreted as a symbol of leadership and social status, while guma symbolizes responsibility, work ethic, and protection of the family. Meanwhile, in women's clothing, bingka ornaments represent responsibility and concern in family life, while areca nut ornaments symbolize loyalty and commitment in marital relationships. Analysis of the relationship between representation, object, and interpretation shows that these symbols function as a means of transmitting cultural values, social norms, and the collective identity of the Pamona people. This research contributes to strengthening scientific documentation on the symbolism of Pamona traditional wedding dresses, expanding the treasures of local cultural semiotics studies, and supporting efforts to preserve the cultural heritage and customary knowledge system of the Pamona people for the sustainability of future generations

Abstract

Systemic discrimination in modern meritocratic societies often traps individuals at the bottom of the social hierarchy, resulting in a state of marginalized masculinity. Despite the immense popularity of Solo Leveling, academic discussions addressing the intersection of masculinity and empowerment within modern fantasy literature remain limited. Thus, this study aims to examine the process of empowerment of the marginalized male protagonist, Jinwoo Sung, toward absolute independence in Chugong’s novel Solo Leveling. Using a qualitative research design and a character analysis approach, textual data were analyzed using the concept of marginalized masculinity by Connell and Messerschmidt, Kabeer’s three-dimensional framework of empowerment (resources, agency, and achievement), and Emerson’s philosophy of self-reliance. The findings indicate that the protagonist begins with severe physical and economic marginalization within the rigid hunter ranking system. Subsequently, the empowerment process is systematically triggered through the acquisition of the anomalous “System” as an initial resource, followed by a psychological shift to mobilize strategic agency during life-threatening encounters. Ultimately, the protagonist achieves radical autonomy, manifested through the formation of his own independent force and his active resistance to elite institutions. This study concludes that Solo Leveling serves as a critique of the meritocracy system, while also demonstrating that modern fantasy literature can redefine empowerment not as integration into an oppressive hierarchy, but as the attainment of sovereign defiance.
