Students’ Perception of Technology Affordance on AI-Based Feedback for Academic Writing
This study explores undergraduate students’ perceptions of the technological affordances of AI-based feedback in academic writing from the perspective of Gibson’s affordance theory. The study employed a qualitative phenomenological approach involving semi-structured interviews with five purposively selected undergraduate students. The interview data were analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings identified six technological affordances representing key dimensions of students’ experiences with AI-based feedback. Together, these affordances supported students throughout the writing process by improving accessibility, revision practices, communication, and the effective use of AI technologies. However, participants also reported several challenges, including exessive reliance on AI, limited access to premium features, and concerns about data privacy. This study contributes to the growing body of research on AI-based feedback in higher education by demonstrating how technological affordances shape students’ academic writing experiences and support more effective writing practices.

Evaluating EFL Textbook: Checklist and Rubric Approaches in a Qualitative Library Research
Abstract Assessing English as a Foreign Language (EFL) textbooks is essential to ensure that learning materials meet students’ needs, align with curriculum requirements, and support instructional objectives. Previous evaluation approaches commonly rely on checklists, which are efficient but often lack depth, while rubric-based assessments provide richer analysis yet remain underutilized in EFL research. This study aims to develop a comprehensive textbook evaluation model by integrating both approaches. Using a qualitative library research method, the study synthesizes key textbook evaluation frameworks proposed by Cunningsworth, Tomlinson, Richards, Samuda, and Brown. The findings result in a hybrid evaluation model that combines the structured clarity of checklists with the analytical depth of rubrics. This model enables more valid, reliable, and reflective evaluation of EFL textbooks, including those incorporating digital and interactive elements. The study contributes a practical and systematic tool to support teachers, researchers, and decision makers in selecting and evaluating EFL textbooks.

A Multimodal Analysis of Meaning-Making in the “Train of Thought” English Textbook for Grade XII: A Descriptive Qualitative Study
This study aims to analyze multimodal meaning-making in the Train of Thought English textbook for Grade XII students by focusing on three key aspects: expression, interaction, and composition. Employing a descriptive qualitative research design, this study applies Kress and van Leeuwen’s (2021) visual grammar framework to examine how visual and verbal elements contribute to the construction of meaning. The data were collected from selected pages of the textbook and analyzed using qualitative content analysis to explore the relationships among various semiotic resources. The findings indicate that multimodality is realized through the integration of text, images, color, and layout, which work together to support meaning-making. In terms of expression (representational metafunction), the textbook predominantly presents participants, actions, and concepts that facilitate students’ understanding of the content. The interaction (interactional metafunction) is reflected through gaze, gestures, and linguistic features that engage readers and establish interpersonal relationships. Meanwhile, composition (compositional metafunction) organizes information through spatial arrangement, salience, and balance, guiding readers in interpreting the content effectively. Overall, the three elements—expression, interaction, and composition—are interconnected and play a significant role in enhancing students’ comprehension and engagement. This study concludes that the Train of Thought textbook effectively implements multimodal principles to support English language learning, and the findings are expected to provide valuable insights for teachers, material developers, and researchers in designing and evaluating multimodal instructional materials.

Hegemonic Masculinity Analysis in Extra Joss Ultimate Advertisement
Advertising is a strategic medium in shaping and reproducing social construction, including gender representation. This research aims to reveal the representation of hegemonic masculinity in Extra Joss Ultimate energy drink advertisements using Charles Sanders Peirce's semiotic analysis and R.W. Connell's theory of hegemonic masculinity. Advertisements are analyzed not only as commercial messengers but also shape and reproducing social constructions, especially gender ideology. Data was obtained from one 30-second video ad divided into five main scenes. The analysis was conducted by identifying icons, indices, and symbols in visual, verbal, and audio elements and associating them with hegemonic masculinity structures such as physical strength, competitiveness, and male dominance. The results show that Extra Joss advertisements represent men as strong, fearless, complacent, and passionate, while feminine values or alternative masculinities are almost eliminated. The sign system used reinforces patriarchal ideology through naturalizing masculine symbols as natural and ideal. Thus, advertising functions not only as a promotional tool but also as a medium for producing meaning that perpetuates gender inequality in the public sphere. The findings contribute to media and gender studies, opening up space for critical readings of male representation in Indonesian popular culture.

A Feminism Analysis in the Novel “Three Dark Crowns” by Kendare Blake
This study analyzes the feminist elements in Kendare Blake’s novel Three Dark Crowns using a descriptive qualitative approach. The research aims to explore how the novel critiques patriarchal structures through its depiction of gender dynamics, the organization of power, and symbolic traditions. The study applies feminist analysis to interpret the narrative and uncover themes such as female autonomy, solidarity, and the impact of societal expectations on women. The results show that the novel depicts the three queens' (Katharine, Mirabella, and Arsinoe) problems as a mirror of women's lives in patriarchal cultures. The fatal custom that forces the queens to compete symbolizes how patriarchy strains women's relationships. Moments of empathy and solidarity show up in spite of these pressures, indicating that women may be able to band together to fight oppressive institutions. Furthermore, the queens' exceptional talents represent the unrealized potential of women, yet their inability to control them emphasizes the limitations imposed by social norms. Three Dark Crowns examines how patriarchal systems abuse women's potential, impede their autonomy, and foster competition among them through its intricate story. At the same time, it highlights how solidarity and group opposition may challenge gender conventions and bring about societal change. This study encourages readers to consider the larger challenges faced by women in patriarchal institutions by highlighting the novel's significance as a work of fiction and a commentary on current gender issues.

Semiotics Analysis of Modern Drink Advertisements on the Palangkaraya Cafe Instagram Account
This research paper titled "Semiotic Analysis of Modern Drink Advertisements on The Palangkaraya Cafe Instagram Account" delves into the realm of modern drink advertisements in the digital age. It explores the significance of semiotics in understanding the hidden messages conveyed by advertisements in the context of cafes. The study aims to answer two main research questions: What kinds of signs exist in modern drink advertisements, and what meanings are conveyed by these signs? The research employs a qualitative descriptive approach, utilizing interviews and documentation as data collection methods. The study's primary focus is on three cafes in the Palangkaraya area: Taguk Ha Cafe, Nakaya Cafe, and Yomi Cafe, with a specific emphasis on modern drink advertisements from their Instagram accounts. Data analysis follows a systematic process, including data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing/verifying. The researcher uses Charles Sanders Peirce's semiotic theory to analyze the signs in the advertisements, distinguishing between icons, indices, and symbols. The result of this research shows In essence, language and symbolic signifiers in advertising transcend the boundaries of brand communication. They become the conduits through which desires are kindled, emotions are stirred, and aspirations are awakened in the audience. Whether through carefully crafted language or the strategic use of symbols, advertisers have at their disposal a rich palette of tools to engage consumers on a profound and deeply meaningful level, thereby forging connections that extend beyond the realm of commerce.
