Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) tools have become increasingly accessible to university students and are changing how English is practiced, revised, and evaluated. This study investigated Civil Engineering students’ perceptions of AI tools for developing English communication skills at Politeknik Negeri Ujung Pandang, Indonesia. A descriptive survey design was employed with 50 students who had experience using at least one AI-supported application for English learning. Data were collected through a 24-item five-point Likert-scale questionnaire and three open-ended questions. The questionnaire examined usage patterns, perceived usefulness, communication improvement, engagement, and concerns regarding responsible use. Descriptive statistics and thematic analysis were used to interpret the responses. The model findings indicate that students held positive perceptions of AI-assisted English learning, with an overall mean score of 4.12. They considered AI useful for expanding technical vocabulary, correcting grammar, generating ideas, receiving immediate feedback, and preparing presentations or workplace-related communication. Students reported that AI reduced anxiety and increased confidence when composing messages and rehearsing English. Nevertheless, participants expressed concerns about inaccurate information, excessive dependence, academic integrity, privacy, and the limited authenticity of AI-based speaking practice. Students therefore preferred AI to function as a supplementary learning partner rather than a replacement for lecturers, classmates, or real communicative experience. The study concludes that AI tools can support English communication development in vocational higher education when their use is guided by pedagogical objectives, verification practices, ethical rules, and activities requiring meaningful human interaction. These findings offer implications for English instruction in civil engineering and other technical polytechnic programs in Indonesia.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the implementation of Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) by English teachers in ESP instruction within the tourism program at a vocational high school, using a descriptive qualitative approach with a phenomenological design involving two English teachers (T1 and T2) selected through purposive sampling, with data collected through classroom observations, semi-structured interviews, and documentation, then analyzed using the interactive model proposed by Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña, further enriched by the SAMR model and the Technology Integration Matrix (TIM) as complementary analytical frameworks. The findings reveal that both teachers successfully integrated all seven components of TPACK in a contextually appropriate manner, albeit through distinct technological configurations, with T1 utilizing authentic videos and Instagram to reach the Redefinition level within the SAMR model, while T2 optimized the use of PowerPoint and Blooket to reach the Modification level, and both teachers further succeeded in establishing active, collaborative, and authentic learning environments, as evidenced by the TIM analysis. These findings lead this study to conclude that the successful implementation of TPACK is determined not by the sophistication of the technology employed, but by teachers' capacity to contextually align technology, pedagogy, and content in accordance with the demands of the learning environment.

Abstract

This study examines the management of Arabic language training programs at Madrasah Tsanawiyah in Kampar Regency, with particular attention to program objectives and perceived benefits. The study aims to analyze how training objectives are formulated and how the programs contribute to students and institutions. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed, involving eight participants: two principals, two curriculum vice principals, two Arabic language teachers, and two students from MTsN 4 Kampar and MTs Muhammadiyah Pulau Rambai. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, observations, and documentation, and analyzed using the Miles and Huberman interactive model. The findings indicate that the training programs aim to improve students’ Arabic communication skills, vocabulary mastery, Qur’anic comprehension, and religious character development. At MTsN 4 Kampar, approximately 80% of program objectives were achieved, while MTs Muhammadiyah Pulau Rambai faced constraints related to limited learning facilities and instructional media, which affected program effectiveness. Despite these challenges, the programs provided notable benefits, including increased student confidence, motivation, and speaking proficiency, as well as improvements in institutional learning quality. This study contributes by identifying gaps in objective-setting practices, particularly the absence of systematic needs analysis and measurable indicators, which are essential for effective Arabic language training program management

Abstract

This research aimed to develop an instructional video for teaching recount text writing using the guided writing for tenth-grade students. This research employed a Research & Development (R&D) method using the ADDIE model, comprising analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation stages. The research was conducted at MA Manbaul Ihsan involving an English teacher and tenth-grade students. Data were collected through questionnaires, interviews, observation, and field notes. The developed video was validated by three experts to assess the product's feasibility. The results of the needs analysis indicated that students experienced difficulties with organizing ideas, developing sentences, and understanding the structure of a recount text. The students’ questionnaire showed that 85% of students highly needed learning media that combine video and technique. The validation results indicated that the developed video media was categorized as good and suitable for use in learning, although several aspects, such as visual design, language clarity, and presentation, still required improvement. The implementation results also showed positive responses from students, with most rating the video highly for visual appearance (87%), audio clarity (73%), and material suitability (73%). In addition, the video helped students understand the stages of writing a recount text and increased their engagement in the learning process. It can be concluded that the video learning media combined with the guided writing technique, was feasible to use as an alternative media in teaching writing recount texts. Additionally, this research result can serve as a starting point for further research to examine the effectiveness of the media in improving students’ writing ability, using a larger sample of participants.

Abstract

This paper examines Perempuan Batih by A. R. Rizal within the framework of Indonesia in the making, positioning customary women as key subjects in the process of contemporary Indonesia’s social and cultural formation. Through representations of batih or nuclear family life, the text reveals that adat or customary norms do not operate as a fixed value system, but rather as a social practice that is continuously shaped, negotiated, and contested amid changing times. Employing approaches from the sociology of literature and feminist literary criticism, this paper analyzes value conflicts, gender relations, domestic labor, and shifts in authority within the domestic sphere as reflections of broader social dynamics. The analysis shows that women in Perempuan Batih are not merely portrayed as guardians of tradition, but also as agents of change who actively participate in the production of meaning surrounding adat. This paper argues that the text offers a critical reading of Indonesia as a process of becoming, in which women’s adat plays a significant role in shaping Indonesia’s present and future.

Abstract

This study investigates Grade 11 students’ perceptions of using digital audio platforms, particularly Spotify audiobooks, to support English language learning in an EFL context. Grounded in Mobile-Assisted Language Learning (MALL), the study focuses on learner autonomy, authentic listening exposure, and self-regulated listening strategies. Using a qualitative descriptive design, data were collected through open-ended questionnaires with 31 students, semi-structured interviews with 10 selected participants, and one classroom observation involving 31 students. The findings show that students perceived Spotify audiobooks as useful, flexible, and motivating because they allowed access to English input beyond the classroom and supported self-paced listening. Students also perceived fluent/authentic English audio as helpful for pronunciation awareness, listening familiarity, and vocabulary noticing. However, linguistic and technical barriers, such as speech speed, unfamiliar accents, vocabulary density, internet access, advertisements, and premium limitations, affected their learning experience. Students responded through repeated listening, playback adjustment, lyrics or transcripts, word searches, peer discussion, and preparation before learning. This study contributes to MALL-based EFL listening research by showing how Spotify audiobooks support perceived learning through autonomy, authentic exposure, teacher mediation, and coping strategies.

Abstract

Narrative writing is one of the essential competencies in secondary education because it enables students to organize ideas, construct coherent stories, and communicate experiences effectively. Despite its importance, many Indonesian senior high school students continue to encounter difficulties in generating ideas, organizing narrative structures, selecting appropriate vocabulary, and applying correct language conventions. While previous studies have primarily examined the effectiveness of picture media or poster-assisted instruction through experimental or classroom action research designs, limited attention has been given to describing students' narrative writing performance when environmental health posters are employed as contextual visual prompts. This study aimed to describe the narrative writing ability of Grade X students at SMA Negeri 7 Palu using environmental health posters as visual stimuli. Employing a quantitative descriptive research design, the study involved 21 students who completed an individual narrative writing task based on environmental health posters. Students' compositions were assessed using an analytic rubric consisting of four dimensions: content, text organization, language features, and writing conventions. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, including individual scores, percentages, class mean, and mastery attainment based on the school's minimum mastery criterion of 75. The findings revealed that students generally demonstrated good narrative writing ability, achieving a mean score of 76.79. Fifteen students (71.43%) achieved the minimum mastery criterion, whereas six students (28.57%) did not. Writing conventions represented the strongest performance area, while language features remained the weakest aspect. These findings indicate that environmental health posters provide meaningful contextual support for generating narrative ideas; however, additional instructional support is still required to strengthen students' vocabulary use, sentence effectiveness, cohesion, and narrative organization. As this study adopted a descriptive design without pre-test, comparison group, or experimental treatment, the findings should be interpreted as a diagnostic profile of students' writing ability rather than evidence of the instructional effectiveness of poster media.

Abstract

Hyperbole in comic translation presents a challenge for translators as comics incorporate various cultural elements from the source language. Making translators carefully consider these cultural aspects to ensure accurate and culturally appropriate translations.  The comic Mickey and Donald: The Search of Zodiac Stone is considered as the humor comic category because it combines numerous elements of hyperbole and various cultural aspects, utilizing informal and casual language. The current study aims to identifies and analyze strategies used to translate hyperbolic expression from English to Indonesian. Translation strategy from Baker and Celotti are used for the current study. The method used in this study is a qualitative descriptive approach. Mixed translation strategy or a combination of translation strategies mostly used when translating the hyperbole. Overall, mixed translation strategies were employed to render hyperbolic expressions primarily due to the character and spatial constraints inherent in comic translation.

Abstract

This study examines how figurative language in Maya Angelou's poem “Still I Rise” reflects the experiences of oppression and abuse endured by African-American or Black women. Using Bell Hooks' intersectional feminist theory of interlocking systems of oppression, such as racism, sexism, and classism, the analysis focuses on metaphor, simile, sarcasm, and repetition as literary tools of resistance. Using qualitative descriptive methods, this study identifies and interprets figurative devices in relation to Angelou's life experiences and the broader historical context of Black women’s marginalization. The results reveal that 19 instances of Angelou's figurative language, namely 8 metaphors, 6 similes, 4 sarcasms, and 1 repetition, not only assert identity and resilience but also reveal emotional, psychological, and systemic abuse disguised as cultural or historical narratives. This study contributes to feminist literary discourse by demonstrating how poetic language becomes a site of power and ideological resistance, affirming the enduring relevance of intersectional feminist perspectives in literary analysis.

Abstract

This study investigates how code-switching serves as a gendered linguistic strategy in the Indonesian web series My Nerd Girl, focusing on how male and female characters alternate between Bahasa Indonesia and English to express identity and perform social roles. Using a descriptive qualitative method and guided by Poplack’s (1980) typology, the research examined 223 instances of code-switching throughout the series. The findings show that inter-sentential switching is the most frequently used type among both genders; however, female characters switch codes more often and for different sociolinguistic reasons. While female characters commonly use code-switching to build solidarity, express identity, and navigate power dynamics, male characters tend to employ it for functions such as maintaining privacy, excluding others, and adding emphasis. These gendered patterns indicate that code-switching in the series is not used arbitrarily but is embedded with intentional social meaning shaped by narrative context. By situating the analysis within a fictional yet culturally resonant media text, the study highlights how language use in scripted dialogue can reflect and shape real-world gendered communication practices. The research contributes to the fields of sociolinguistics, gender studies, and media linguistics by offering a culturally grounded perspective on how multilingual language use intersects with gender in Indonesian popular media.
