Abstract

As an interdisciplinary study, ecocriticism has significantly influenced the recognition of ecological concerns within the cultural phenomena of literature, including popular narratives such as songs. The use of poetic narratives in songs to address ecological issues and agendas has garnered expansive interest in the social marketplace, driven by the interplay of natural, cultural, and political dialogues. This study employed Roland Barthes’s semiotic perspective and Greg Garrard’s ecocritical theory to analyze environmental themes in the lyrics of three songs: “Big Yellow Taxi” by Joni Mitchell, “Ain’t It a Sad Thing” by Richard Dean Taylor, and “Apeman” by The Kinks. These songs, through their literary narratives, explored key ecocritical concepts such as pollution, animals, dwelling, and the earth, highlighting the impacts of urban life on ecological systems. Using a qualitative approach to interpret the data, the analysis reveals that, as early as the 1970s, environmental awareness of ecological damage was a recognized global concern. The lyrics serve as a medium of social critique, emphasizing the importance of harmony between humans and nature. Through their representation of the human-nature relationship, the songs contribute to an understanding of the interconnection between civilization and sustainability, promoting environmental ethics in managing the natural world. By projecting ecological issues within their narratives, the songs stimulate ecological awareness and underscore the urgency of addressing environmental challenges.

Abstract

This study examines the three dimensions of writing anxiety (cognitive, somatic, and avoidance) across the four stages of the writing process: prewriting, organizing, writing, and polishing. It also seeks to determine how these dimensions vary by school type. A quantitative approach was utilized, employing a survey design with participation from 202 students enrolled in two senior high schools in Sleman Regency, Yogyakarta, during the 2023/2024 academic year. The schools, categorized as high-performing and moderately-performing, each contributed three Class X sections to the research.Data collection was conducted using a questionnaire of writing anxiety scale and the writing process framework proposed. Analytical techniques such as confirmatory factor analysis and MANOVA were applied. The findings revealed two main results: (1) students' writing anxiety was characterized by three distinct dimensions (cognitive, somatic, and avoidance) observed across all stages of the writing process, and (2) significant variations in these dimensions were identified at the prewriting, organizing, writing, and polishing stages, depending on the school category. This research highlights the complex nature of writing anxiety and its variation across different stages of the writing process and school types. Future studies are encouraged to investigate the underlying causes of stage-specific anxiety, focusing on factors such as individual traits, writing proficiency, and prior experiences.

Abstract

The unique characteristics of autism spectrum conditions present significant challenges for families. Existing research often focuses on mothers' experiences, leading to the underrepresentation of fathers' perspectives. This study aims to highlight the expectations and experiences of fathers raising children on the autism spectrum. Using critical discourse analysis (CDA), the research explored how power dynamics and societal ideologies shape fathers' lived experiences in raising children on the autism spectrum. The fathers' narratives reveal that inadequate support—such as lack of professionalism, limited access to services, and insufficient community involvement—indicates that society has yet to achieve true inclusivity. Additionally, fathers stress the importance of comprehensive support in managing their parenting responsibilities. The findings emphasize (1) the discourse on integrated support services and (2) addressing paternal support: insights from fathers' experiences. These results underscore the need to strengthen support systems for fathers of children on the autism spectrum.

Abstract

The intersection of folklore and Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become a prominent trend in contemporary research, driven by the widespread availability of applications such as Leonardo.ai, Storybook, and Canva that support folklore creation. Given folklore's significant role in shaping the personalities of younger generations, integrating glocalization with AI becomes increasingly relevant. This study aims to explore the projection of AI through storytelling in folklore and examine the glocalization of children's literature within PTKI (Indonesian Islamic Higher Education Institutions) using the theory of Glocalization by Khondker (five main elements of glocalization) and Leonardo.ai. This research employed a descriptive qualitative method by Creswell to describe the phenomenon and its characteristics. The data were collected qualitatively by documenting, examining, and thoroughly classifying using three steps: reading the folktales, taking notes, and interpreting or analyzing. Employing a qualitative approach, the research involved 125 student participants from PTKI and utilized the Likert Scale theory by Rensis Likert for data analysis. The findings reveal two key outcomes: first, Leonardo.ai effectively generates detailed visual storytelling by creating and refining prompts without losing the narratives based on the elements of the story. Second, AI-generated products can achieve global dissemination while promoting local cultural elements, as evidenced by over 70% of participants expressing agreement or strong agreement on the Likert scale. These findings highlight AI's potential in preserving and promoting local folklore in a global context. Future research can enhance design comprehensiveness with engaging, interactive visuals through platforms like Storynest.ai, fostering deeper emotional connections with readers through richer character portrayals.

Abstract

This study investigated the experiences of Indonesian students pursuing higher education in the United States, highlighting the importance of understanding their cultural adaptation, academic challenges, and social integration. Despite the significant presence of Indonesian students, comprehensive research addressing their unique experiences, and challenges in a new educational environment is limited. The study aims to understand their cultural adaptation, identify academic challenges, and examine strategies for social integration. A phenomenological qualitative approach was employed, utilizing semi-structured interviews with doctoral students to gather in-depth insights. Thematic analysis reveals that cultural adaptation is significantly influenced by language barriers, differing educational norms, and social dynamics. Participants reported academic challenges related to adjusting to critical thinking-based learning and independent study practices. Additionally, social integration is often complicated by cultural misunderstandings and the individualistic values prevalent in American society. To address these challenges, students employ strategies such as building support networks, engaging in campus activities, and utilizing institutional resources. This study underscores the necessity for proactive cultural engagement and institutional support to enhance international students' experiences and foster more inclusive educational environments.

Abstract

The ultimate goal of learning writing skills in language education is for students to produce their own written work. Students are not merely passive recipients of writing instruction but active participants in the writing process. However, in practice, many students struggle to write different types of texts, such as argumentative, narrative, expository, and persuasive essays. This issue persists in writing education, as students often understand writing rules theoretically but face difficulties in applying them practically. The main objective of this research is to develop an inquiry-experiment model for teaching writing in high school. This research involved a research and development approach using the Plomp model, which consisted of the prototype stage, development stage, and evaluation stage. Throughout these stages, the design of student books, teacher books, and model books was carried out. The instruments used in this study included validation questionnaires, practicality questionnaires, effectiveness questionnaires, observation guidelines, and interview guidelines. The sampling technique was carried out by purposive sampling by determining characteristics that are appropriate to the research objectives and problems. The sample for this research consisted of 40 students who were used as trials for the model developed. The data analysis technique carried out two activities, namely qualitatively and quantitatively. The results of this research show that the experimental-based inquiry learning model can make students creative in writing as seen from the results of students' writing which has varied according to the rules of good and correct writing. Apart from that, students' soft skills have increased, seen in communication and collaboration.

Abstract

Naming patterns in Indonesia have shown the influence of geographical, social, and cultural factors on toponymy. Place naming in Aceh, a province in the country, has been based on the genesis and generic patterns that indicate specific objects, historical reasons, and word-forming elements. This study explores the dominant naming patterns found in the West Aceh and Nagan Raya regions by analyzing data sourced from regional databases, government archives, and the SIGAP (Sistem Informasi Gampong-Village Information System). A total of 131 place names from 29 villages were examined through literature review and document analysis as primary and secondary data sources. Thematic analysis, following Braun and Clarke’s (2006) framework, was employed to systematically identify recurring linguistic patterns. The results revealed nine dominant naming patterns in these regions, demonstrating a combination of different elements such as alue [aluə] ‘ditch’, blang [blaŋ] ‘rice field’, pasi [pasi] ‘beach’, suak [suaʔ] ‘estuary’, cöt [cət] ‘highland’, often combined with nouns or adjectives. This study illustrates how place names convey linguistic structures and geographical narratives that present Aceh's interconnection between language, landscape, and cultural identity. The findings contribute to broader discussions on the role of toponyms in preserving local knowledge and shaping regional identity.

Abstract

This research attempts to see the forms of trauma experienced by the main character of the novel The Tattooist of Auschwitz and how he responds to it. Methodologically, this research was under a descriptively qualitative method supported by the psychological approach of post-memory. The primary data was from The Tattooist of Auschwitz novel. The technique to collect the data used a heuristic reasoning technique. The findings of the study found that there are two forms of trauma, namely physical and psychological trauma. Physical trauma is in the form of injuries, vomiting, and trembling, while psychological trauma is in the form of fear, nervousness, anger, and sadness. There are four main characters’ responses in this novel: emotional, cognitive, behavioral, and physical. The emotional response in this novel is in the form of panic, refusal, and avoidance, and the cognitive response in this novel is in the form of difficulties in concentrating. The behavioral response in this novel is in the form of avoiding people and talking about the experiences. The physical response is related to the physical act committed by someone who suffers from the trauma. The physical response in this novel is in the form of losing the body’s strength. By examining these layers of trauma and response, the study underscores the complex interplay between body and mind in the aftermath of profound suffering. This analysis offers a deeper understanding of how trauma shapes human behavior and emotions, providing insight into the broader psychological impacts of extreme adversity.
