2025-11-01T11:10:13+00:00

This study investigates the impact of a generative reading strategy for fictional stories, specifically utilizing the Noveltoon digital literature platform, on language knowledge and language creativity. A quasi-experimental method involving 220 university students was employed. Data analysis utilized a t-test and a one-way ANCOVA to examine the intervention's influence on students' language creativity when writing short stories and creating reading tabloids after engaging with fictional stories. The findings indicate that the generative reading strategy, integrated with the Noveltoon digital literature platform technology and online platforms, significantly enhances students' language knowledge and creativity compared to traditional reading methods. The enhancement in students' creativity is evident in their ability to produce original short stories and create engaging reading tabloids following the reading intervention. Specifically, the increase in language creativity was observed across the dimensions of fluency, flexibility, originality, and elaboration. This study suggests that integrating a generative reading strategy for fictional stories with technology use can substantially improve the quality of the learning process and the development of students' language creativity.

Identity politics in Indonesia: A computer-mediated discourse analysis of hate speech in a virtual environment

2025-11-09T16:19:22+00:00

The study to analyze the computer-mediated hate speech discourse in a virtual environment. Social media and digital network connectivity allow for almost constant interaction and communication. Technological developments, accompanied by socio-political transformations, have become a widespread area of study for the production of hate speech. It is the subject of much academic research; however, a gap remains in the qualitative space that focuses on the form and function of the speech act. The study employs three distinct yet complementary traditions of discourse analysis to investigate hate speech, aiming to understand how social media users achieve the intended purpose of this type of speech. By examining the use of identity, impropriety, and intertextuality in examples of hate speech, this analysis identifies specific repetitive discursive techniques employed by speakers to achieve their goals. The study argues that to understand the features and styles of online communication, hate speech can be identified as a distinct genre of speech. However, this genre does not operate unchallenged: the data also reveals emergent counter-discourses in which other users engage in resisting hate speech through discursive reframing, sarcastic rebuttals, and appeals to civility norms, thereby shaping a contested digital space.

The implications of the pandemic have drastically decreased tourism occupancy in Indonesia, prompting the president to develop super priority destinations, such as Mandalika and Likupang, to restore tourism occupancy. Focusing on Mandalika and Likupang, located in special economic zones, this research aims to critically analyze the social media narratives to uncover the power relations and socio-political constructs embedded in the social media accounts of both destinations. We applied descriptive qualitative research, elaborating the textual elements, discursive, and sociocultural practices of promotional media. The result of the textual elements analysis shows that social media posts mostly use simple sentences, and a deeper lexical analysis reveals that various types of pronouns, adjectives, and collocations are embedded in the posts. Social media leverages persuasive descriptive discourse with friendly, descriptive, and emotional words, improving reader accessibility. Political and cultural narratives also play a significant role in shaping the tourism discourse. Branded as the “New Bali,” Mandalika and Likupang can displace and exclude local culture through social media posts, showing the power of social media in creating tourism discourse. Conclusively, critical discourse analysis helps in understanding the relation between the discourse and the social aspect by analyzing language within a social context.

Pengembangan media pembelajaran virtual reality (VR) untuk mengenalkan budaya lokal Malang ke pembelajar BIPA

2025-11-27T11:16:17+00:00

Learning Indonesian for Foreign Speakers (BIPA) is closely related to cultural learning. Language acquisition requires not only fluency, but also an understanding of its cultural context. However, introducing culture to BIPA learners, especially through traditional media, such as images or textbooks, can make learning less effective and interesting. This study aimed to develop virtual reality (VR)-based learning media to introduce local Malang culture to foreign speakers. This study used the four-stage development method designed by Thiagarajan. Four stages are defined: design, development, and dissemination. The VR media were validated by BIPA experts and tested on seven learners from China, Taiwan, Vietnam, and Yemen. The product trial results show that the visual and audio quality received a score of (81.6), ease of use (80), VR's ability to provide a realistic experience of Malang cultural life (84), VR's ability to increase interest in learning Indonesian culture (85), VR's ability to increase cultural knowledge (82.5), suitability to needs (81.2), and VR's effectiveness as a cultural learning medium (82.5). This study confirms that VR is an engaging and effective tool for introducing local culture to BIPA students in line with their needs and expectations, especially those who are familiar with immersive technology.

Pantun: Satu nama beda nasib

2025-11-29T11:16:30+00:00

In Indonesian literature, two distinct regional works share the same name: pantun. These are the Indonesian pantun and the Sundanese pantun. Despite their shared nomenclature, the survival of these two forms has diverged significantly: Indonesian pantun thrives, while Sundanese pantun is nearly extinct. This study aims to describe several aspects suspected to be the cause of the inequality in survival between Indonesian and Sundanese pantun. Employing a qualitative descriptive method with purposive sampling, data on both pantun types were gathered, analyzed, and discussed using relevant theories related to each form. The research found that the differences stem from variations in type, structure, function, teaching methods, teaching materials, and everyday usage. Indonesian pantun is a form of bound poetry with a simple structure, serves various non-ritual functions, is taught across all schools in Indonesia, and is actively practiced in daily life. In contrast, Sundanese pantun blends prose and poetry, possesses a complex structure, is tied to specific rituals, is only taught in senior high schools in West Java, and is no longer part of everyday life. Consequently, many Sundanese people are unfamiliar with it. The study highlights how these contrasting factors have contributed to the divergent fates of the two pantuns.
