Dampak strategi membaca generatif cerita fiksi berbasis platform sastra digital noveltoon terhadap kreativitas mahasiswa

2025-12-07T15:19:12+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

2025-12-07T15:19:12+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.

Critical discourse analysis on Mandalika and Likupang social media

2025-12-07T15:19:12+00:00

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

2025-12-07T15:19:12+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

2025-12-07T15:19:12+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.

Écriture Féminine in Ken Bugul’s De L’Autre Côté du Regard

2025-12-07T15:19:12+00:00

The article analyzes the representation of écriture féminine in Ken Bugul's De L’Autre Côté du Regard (DLCR) and its connection to feminist ideology and the narrator’s hybrid cultural identity. This research applies a close reading technique, utilizing the framework of feminist narratology by Lanser (1986) and écriture féminine by Cixous (1976) and Brahimi (2000). Through data analysis, it is found that the narrative structure of DLCR, which represents the concept of écriture féminine, appears very fluid and non-linear, similar to writing pattern of memoirs. Repetitive phrases are found that represent the narrator’s deepest emotions regarding her maternal relationship and her in-between identity within postcolonial context. The results indicate that the structure of écriture féminine in DLCR appears to represent the narrator’s process of reconciliation, not only related to the maternal relationship with her biological mother but also to her motherland, Senegal. By incorporating the voice of other women, the text opens up a collective space of solidarity emblematic of African feminism. DLCR's narrative is argued to offer a distinctly African reinterpretation of feminism where bodily experience, ancestral tradition, and political resistance converge, ultimately presenting writing as an aesthetic and emancipatory act of postcolonial female self-definition.

Glokalisasi bahasa: Dominasi dan adaptasi slang internasional pada kalangan generasi alpha di ruang virtual

2025-12-09T07:18:49+00:00

This study examines the phenomenon of glocalization of international slang within the Indonesian language as used by Generation Alpha. This research employs a qualitative content analysis approach, focusing on the dominance of glocalization forms, the context of usage, and the underlying reasons for language preferences among Generation Alpha. Based on exploration in virtual spaces, 20 variations of international slang were identified, including suss, savage, insecure, anomali, slay, jump in, flex, vibe, glow up, periodt, simp, bop, FOMO, CMIW, cringe, LOL, ghosting, stan, salty, and spill. The findings show that 75% of these terms underwent a semantic shift through processes such as amelioration, pejoration, generalization, specialization, and association, while the remaining 25% retained their original meanings. The results indicate that the glocalization of slang is primarily influenced by globalization, digital technology, social media, and popular culture. The study further reveals that the family environment and education also play a significant role in shaping these slang language preferences. These findings reflect the social and cultural dynamics of Generation Alpha, who are adept at integrating global linguistic elements into local contexts, thereby creating a unique and dynamic linguistic identity.

Exploring istighfar as an emotive and religious interjection in Indonesian

2025-12-09T07:44:17+00:00

Istighfar is an interjection in the Indonesian, borrowed from Arabic and widely used in various social situations, both in personal and public spheres. As a religious interjection that holds a significant position in the linguistic practices of Muslim communities, istighfar reflects both emotional responses and moral awareness toward events perceived as negative or sinful. This study aims identified the characteristics of istighfar as an interjection and to analyze its meaning using the Natural Semantic Metalanguage (NSM) approach. Employing a qualitative-descriptive method, the primary data were drawn from fifteen Indonesian novels by prominent authors, while supplementary data were taken from online news headlines and everyday communicative experiences, including spontaneous conversations and selected social media comments within the researcher’s observation. The analysis proceeded in two stages: categorizing istighfar within interjection typology and constructing semantic explications using NSM. The results show that istighfar fulfills nearly all prototypical features of interjections and carries complex spiritual content. Its use not only reflects emotional expression but also constructs and represents the speaker’s religious identity. This research affirms that language can reflect levels of religiosity, as demonstrated by the frequent use of religious interjections in Indonesian society, which is known for its high level of religious devotion.

Green narratives or greenwashing? An ecological discourse analysis of IKN-related discourses

2025-12-19T14:13:38+00:00

This research aims to determine whether the IKN-related discourses produced by the Indonesian government constitute a green narrative that promotes ecological conservation and protection or are merely greenwashing strategies designed to gain public acceptance. Fifty-two articles taken from the Indonesian government’s official website about IKN, https://ikn.go.id/ are the data source of this research. Utilizing AntConc and NVivo software, the researchers investigate the word frequency of environmentally related lexical choices and complete an analysis of the six-taxonomy of greenwashing. The results reveal that five greenwashing strategies are prominent: attention deflection, deceptive manipulation, decoupling, selective disclosure, and inefficient public voluntary programs. These strategies reflect the gap between environmental claims and actions, with the government focusing on technological solutions while downplaying or omitting critical ecological issues such as deforestation, biodiversity loss, and indigenous displacement. This research makes a valuable contribution to the field of ecolinguistics by emphasizing the need for a critical examination of governmental environmental narratives, particularly in situations where ecological claims are used to justify large-scale development. This analysis could be further developed in the future by integrating indigenous perspectives, ecological data, and longitudinal monitoring of IKN's environmental impact.

Peningkatan keterampilan dan minat menyanyikan tembang macapat pada siswa SMA melalui pemanfaatan aplikasi e-srambahan

2025-12-27T11:31:28+00:00

This study aimed to improve the ability and interest of tenth-grade students at SMAN 13 Surabaya in performing tembang macapat within the context of Javanese language learning through the integration of the E-Srambahan application. The research employed the Kemmis and McTaggart classroom action research model. Data were collected through performance tests, observation, questionnaires, and interviews, involving 36 students from class X-2 with diverse cultural backgrounds. Quantitative analysis was conducted using SPSS version 25, including Levene’s Test and paired sample t-test, complemented by descriptive analysis. The findings revealed significant improvement in vocal performance, covering pleng (pitch accuracy), ngeng (rhythmic consistency), and greng (vocal strength). The students’ mean score increased from 64.7 (pre-cycle) to 74.3 (cycle I) and 83.2 (cycle II), while the mastery level rose from 25% to 91.7%. The paired sample t-test yielded a significance value of 0.000, confirming meaningful differences across cycles. The effectiveness of E-Srambahan was attributed to students’ improved interest and ability to imitate pitch, maintain rhythm, and enhance vocal projection. Challenges related to low self-confidence and limited vocal technique were successfully addressed through structured practice with the application. These results highlight the importance of integrating digital media grounded in local wisdom to enrich Javanese language education.

Krisis identitas linguistik: Eksistensi bahasa ibu di persimpangan generasi kekinian Desa Karangwuni

2025-12-20T11:24:56+00:00

Weak inheritance of local languages within the family domain leads to language shift. Consequently, the phenomena of code-mixing and code-switching among children and grandchildren exhibit inconsistent and random patterns. This study aims to determine the status of local languages and identify the causes of language shift within the family environment, focusing specifically on the shift from Javanese to Indonesian. The subjects of this study consist of three generations: (1) generation 1 includes grandparents, (2) generation 2 includes parents, and (3) generation 3 includes children or grandchildren. A descriptive qualitative method was employed, utilizing interview, observation, and note-taking techniques. The results indicate a significant shift from Javanese to Indonesian. For instance, when generation 2 addresses generation 3 in Javanese, generation 3 responds in Indonesian due to a lack of Javanese vocabulary. Generation 3 only masters simple Javanese terms, such as mpun, dereng, and wonten. This phenomenon is driven by education levels, economic status, social mobility, language attitudes, and the influence of technology and social media. The shift is further evidenced by the emergence of random code-switching and code-mixing in daily family conversations.

Etika lingkungan dan penyadaran ekologis dalam novel Gurattala karya Candrika Adhiyasa: Kajian ekokritik sastra

2025-12-20T11:24:56+00:00

Literature serves as an important medium to reflect on the global ecological crisis. This study examines how Gurattala, a novel by Candrika Adhiyasa, critiques the impact of development by mapping the relationship between ecological destruction and social injustice. This research employs a descriptive qualitative design using a literature study method. The analysis was conducted through close reading of the primary data (the novel), framed by Greg Garrard’s conceptual approach to ecocriticism. The findings reveal that environmental degradation in Gurattala includes industrial pollution and deforestation, which are causally linked to the dispossession of living spaces and the marginalization of local communities. The novel argues that the ecological crisis is essentially a social crisis. As a resolution, Gurattala does not offer technical or political solutions but rather an ethical one, embodied in the protagonist’s contemplative journey toward an ecocentric awareness. This study concludes that Gurattala employs speculative fiction as a powerful medium for ecological critique, not merely to convey a moral message but to present a profound reflection on the interconnectedness of humans and nature in the modern era.

Commoning resistance: Embodying literature as multitude’s collective memories in Aksi Kamisan

2025-12-19T13:59:32+00:00

This article examines Aksi Kamisan (Thursday Action) in Samarinda, East Kalimantan, as a contemporary practice of resistance against state-enforced historical amnesia in Indonesia. It addresses the question of how literary traditions of dissent are transmitted and transformed into resources for collective political action. The central thesis is that Indonesia’s Sastra Perlawanan (Literature of Resistance) functions as a lumbung makna, a metaphorical “commons of meaning,” that is actively stewarded, or “commoned,” by social movements. Through an ethnographic case study, this research analyzes the mechanisms by which the literary “archive” is translated into an embodied “repertoire” of political protest. Drawing on an integrated theoretical framework that includes Foucault’s “regime of truth,” Ostrom’s work on the commons, Taylor’s concept of the repertoire, and Hardt and Negri’s theory of the multitude, the study finds that the silent weekly vigil is a performative act of counter-discourse. This act not only challenges the state’s monopoly on historical narratives but also demonstrates how a shared cultural inheritance of resistance is collectively sustained and reactivated. The article concludes that Aksi Kamisan offers a compelling model for understanding the contemporary political efficacy of literature, where cultural memory becomes a vital, living resource for grassroots movements demanding justice and accountability.

Negotiating identity, originality, and agency in AI-assisted dissertation proposal writing among English education students

2025-12-26T11:30:44+00:00

This study examined the diverse approaches doctoral students take to developing an academic voice when utilizing AI. It examines the manifestation of academic integrity and agency, as well as the interplay among these constructs, through a case study. Thematic analysis, as a data analysis tool, from the responses of six doctoral students enrolled in the Proposal Dissertation Course, sheds light on the critical acceptance of AI. The results of the focus-group discussion and students’ reflective journals reveal that AI is recognized as applicable but does not replace human critical thinking in the manual investigation process. Research shows that students build academic identity through strategies such as making AI a discussion partner to maintain the author’s voice. They also maintain academic integrity by verifying AI sources, avoiding unreal citations, and manually paraphrasing the text. Students leverage AI for technical tasks and time management yet remain non-reliant and edit AI output to ensure it remains original work.

Implementasi pembelajaran berdiferensiasi dalam menulis sastra di sekolah menengah atas

2025-12-27T11:31:29+00:00

This study examines the planning and implementation of differentiated instruction in literary writing at the senior high school level. The primary focus is how teachers respond to students’ varying interests and learning styles during the instructional process, as these individual differences necessitate adaptive and responsive instructional planning. Using a descriptive qualitative approach with a multiple case study design, this research was conducted at two public senior high schools with distinct geographical and student characteristics. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation, then analyzed using the Miles and Huberman interactive model. The results indicate that teachers conducted diagnostic assessments to identify students’ readiness, interests, and learning profiles, which served as the foundation for designing instructional modules. These modules incorporated content differentiation through varied examples of short stories and hikayat in both visual and audiovisual formats. Process differentiation was implemented by grouping students based on their interests and learning styles and by offering choices in writing themes. Furthermore, product differentiation allowed students to submit their work in either print or digital formats. The implementation of differentiated instruction demonstrates teachers’ efforts to create inclusive, engaging, and student-centered learning environments that effectively accommodate diverse learner needs.

Kesesuaian teks dwibahasa Jawa-Indonesia jenjang B1 terhadap pedoman perjenjangan nomor 030/P/2022

2025-12-27T11:31:28+00:00

The need for children's literature that aligns with developmental stages and integrates cultural values is increasingly urgent to support contextual literacy. This study analyzes the alignment of manuscripts from the Ministry of Education's reading material competition with official leveling guidelines. Employing a qualitative approach with literature analysis, ten manuscripts from the 2023 Central Java Language Center competition were selected via purposive sampling. Analysis focused on three aspects: linguistics, content, and format. Regarding linguistics (complexity, organization, style, and predictability), most manuscripts complied, yet issues in structural complexity and organization weakened readability. In terms of content (genre, familiarity, and vocabulary), although genres were appropriate, rapid pacing and indistinct characters diminished developmental familiarity, while cultural vocabulary lacked explanation. Regarding format (length, typography, and layout), manuscript length was generally adequate, but inconsistencies in typography and illustration remained. The study concludes that the manuscripts fail to fully meet the leveling guidelines essential for child-friendly curation.

Dialektika kewahyon dan keprabon dalam puisi esai Ki Ageng Selo: Sang Penakluk Petir

2025-12-27T14:25:51+00:00

The essay poem Ki Ageng Selo: Sang Penakluk Petir by Sri Penny has been used as teaching material for poetry writing for students at MAN 1 Grobogan. However, the structure of the essay poem is suspected to show a distance from cultural aspects. The issue that arises is whether the structural phenomena in the essay poem are appropriate to be used as teaching material. This research was conducted through a literary sociology approach using a heuristic-level semiotic method for data validation and a hermeneutic-level reading for the analysis of literary, social, and cultural rules. The research data consisted of excerpts from the lines of the poem suspected of containing ideology, as per the research problem. The research results are based on the use of Bourdieu's cultural arena theory, revealing a dialectic between 'kewahyon' and 'keprabon' as well as the matrix as the center of meaning. In the cultural aspect, the matrix can be understood through actual and potential hypogrammatics. The figure Ki Ageng Selo experiences a tension (dialectic) between ambition and expectation. The study concludes that the essay poem Ki Ageng Selo: The Conqueror of Lightning can be recommended as learning material for the younger generation of the nation.

Cognitive Analysis of Madness in Qays ibn al-Moullawwāh’s Poem “When Will This Heart Find Rest”

2025-12-27T14:57:01+00:00

This study analyzes the poetry of Qays ibn al-Mulawwaḥ to reconsider the notion of madness traditionally attributed to him. Rather than a psychological disorder or a reflection of biographical narratives, madness is shown to function as a cognitive-emotional structure produced through poetic language. Drawing on conceptual metaphor theory, force dynamics, and cognitive grammar, the study demonstrates how imagery, grammatical organization, and embodied patterns construct experiences of longing, alienation, and emotional turbulence, revealing madness as a linguistically structured mode of emotional and cognitive experience in early Arabic poetry.

Strengthening Javanese literature material through the Novaja.id application as a form of Javanese cultural preservation

2025-12-27T16:04:01+00:00

The preservation of regional languages, including Javanese, increasingly requires digital innovations that can support literacy development and sustain readers’ engagement. However, existing digital platforms for Javanese literary access often lack systematic development frameworks and user-centered design features, limiting their effectiveness and long-term usability. Responding to this gap, this study develops the Novaja.id Javanese Novel Library application through the integration of the System Development Life Cycle (SDLC) and User-Centered Design (UCD) methodologies. The research began with a user needs analysis conducted through surveys and in-depth interviews, which informed the design of an intuitive interface and optimized user experience. A prototype was subsequently tested through usability evaluations, and user feedback was incorporated into iterative refinements. The findings show that the final application meets user needs effectively, demonstrating high navigation ease, satisfactory feature performance, and stable and secure functionality. These outcomes indicate that combining SDLC and UCD enhances application quality and usability. Overall, Novaja.id has strong potential to expand access to Javanese literary works and contribute to Javanese language literacy and cultural preservation.
