No full textResearch on Linguistic Landscape (LL) has been done quite often in recent years. The studies are still focused on examining signs in one particular area. In this regard, this study aimed to examine the public signs found in the tourism area of Objek Wisata Candidasa (Candidasa Tourism Objects), Bugbug Village, Karangasem.

Exploring the Influence of the Environment on Students’ Second Language Acquisition: A Comprehensive Psycholinguistic Study
No full textAl-Maliki 2 Sukodono Islamic Boarding School employs a distinctive approach by implementing a bilingual education system using both English and Arabic languages. However, in this regard, there are several obstacles, namely lack of students’ enthusiasm, inconsistency, lack of interest and family support, as well as limited facilities. Therefore, to address these issues, a concept is introduced that every student who wishes to become a member of that community is required to use the same language, either English or Indonesian. Furthermore, the reserach aims to demonstrate various types of motivation that can be employed by educators, institutions, and parents. Al-Maliki 2 Sukodono Islamic Boarding School implements bilingual education, incorporating both English and Arabic for communication. However, throughout this process, several barriers hinder the students, such as a lack of interest in foreign languages and inadequate support from families with no foreign language background. This research explores the process of acquiring English as a second language for students and emphasizes the significance of the environment in second language learning. Data can be collected through speaking or writing tasks, where participants are asked to generate specific language. This aids in understanding the language production process, planning, and decision-making involved in selecting words and sentence structures. The findings of this research are expected to assist schools and non-formal institutions as organizers in identifying motivational approaches that can be applied to students in English language learning. Ultimately, this can lead to improved quantity and quality of students’ English language proficiency, fulfilling Indonesia’s workforce demands

The Human Beings’ Submissiveness to Supernatural Beings in Folktales from Central Sulawesi
No full textIndonesia is an archipelagic nation of thousands of islands with vast and diverse cultures. Every inhabited island must have at least a culture comprising cultural products such as rites, tales, ceremonies, etc. However, some individual islands might also have more than one culture. The culture carries sets of beliefs that are worth examining to understand and cultivate the people’s worldviews and perspectives. Those perspectives can be traced from folktales as cultural products. As the agent in the Anthropocene period, human beings are also observable in the generationally told folktales. This article explores the depictions and the roles of human characters and supernatural beings in two folktales from Sulawesi, one of the biggest islands in Indonesia. It problematizes the independency and power of human beings in the folktales. The research objects of this article are The Giant and the Orphan (Kalamboro Kaa Elu-elu) and People Who Descended (Miantii). By employing appraisal theory (Martin and White, 2005), this article identifies the attitudes towards both human and supernatural characters by the linguistic choices attached to them in the folktales. The choices of words and expressions depicting the characters are classified into affect, judgement, and appreciation. In conjunction with the folktales’ plot, the linguistic analysis reveals that human characters in those two folktales are depicted as dependent on and powerless before supernatural characters. This article does not intend to draw any generalization toward any cultures from Sulawesi and Indonesia since it examines very limited objects
