EXPLORING THE IMPACT OF VISUAL ARTS ON MULTILINGUAL LANGUAGE ACQUISITION AND CULTURAL AWARENESS IN SECONDARY EDUCATION
The integration of visual arts into multilingual secondary education has gained attention as a transformative pedagogical approach, fostering cognitive development, language acquisition, and intercultural competence. Visual arts provide multimodal contexts that allow learners to negotiate meaning, expand linguistic proficiency, and reflect upon cultural narratives, thus enhancing both creative expression and communicative competence. This study employs bibliographic research combined with bibliometric mapping, thematic synthesis, and conceptual analysis of 162 peer-reviewed publications from 2010 to 2025. The bibliometric analysis identifies trends in publication growth, geographic distribution, and thematic clusters, highlighting the increasing global interest in visual arts-language integration. Findings indicate that visual arts facilitate vocabulary expansion, syntactic development, and pragmatic language skills, while simultaneously promoting creative thinking and intercultural understanding. Conceptual frameworks synthesized from the literature emphasize three core domains: visual literacy development, language scaffolding, and culturally contextualized pedagogy. Statistical trends reveal consistent growth in publications post-2015, particularly from Europe, North America, and Asia, reflecting widespread scholarly recognition of this approach. The study contributes to theoretical, methodological, and practical insights for educators seeking to implement multimodal, arts-based pedagogy in multilingual classrooms.

DECOLONIZING ENGLISH LANGUAGE TEACHING: LOCAL CULTURE INTEGRATION AND IDENTITY NEGOTIATION IN POSTCOLONIAL CONTEXTS DECOLONIZING ENGLISH LANGUAGE TEACHING: LOCAL CULTURE INTEGRATION AND IDENTITY NEGOTIATION IN POSTCOLONIAL CONTEXTS
English Language Teaching (ELT) in postcolonial contexts is deeply entangled with historical legacies of colonialism, linguistic imperialism, and epistemic hierarchies. Despite the global utility of English, conventional ELT often marginalizes local cultures, languages, and learner identities, perpetuating inequities in knowledge production and representation. This study investigates strategies to decolonize ELT by integrating local cultural content and fostering identity negotiation among learners. Employing bibliographic research combined with critical discourse analysis and bibliometric mapping, the study systematically examines 132 peer-reviewed publications from 2010 to 2025. The analysis identifies dominant research themes, publication trends, and intellectual networks within decolonial ELT scholarship. Findings indicate that curriculum reform incorporating local literature, translanguaging practices, and culturally responsive pedagogy enhances learner engagement, linguistic confidence, and critical awareness. Moreover, learners exposed to integrated local culture negotiate complex, additive identities that bridge local, national, and global dimensions. Bibliometric analysis reveals a marked increase in publications on decolonial ELT from 2018 onwards, with the majority emerging from Asia, Africa, and Latin America, highlighting a global shift toward context-sensitive pedagogical approaches. Conceptual frameworks derived from the literature suggest that effective decolonizing strategies interconnect three domains: structural curriculum adaptation, culturally responsive teaching, and learner identity empowerment. These findings advance theoretical debates on linguistic justice, epistemic equity, and intercultural competence in ELT. The study emphasizes that decolonial pedagogical interventions not only reinforce cultural legitimacy but also strengthen English proficiency and global communicative competence.
ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN LANGUAGE EDUCATION: PEDAGOGICAL TRANSFORMATION, CULTURAL IMPLICATIONS, AND ETHICAL CHALLENGES IN MULTILINGUAL CLASSROOMS
The rapid proliferation of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in education has significantly reshaped pedagogical practices, particularly within multilingual language classrooms characterized by linguistic diversity and cultural complexity. This study critically examines how AI-mediated technologies transform instructional design, influence cultural representation, and generate ethical challenges in language education. Drawing on a qualitative meta-synthesis of interdisciplinary scholarship published between 2017 and 2025, the research integrates perspectives from applied linguistics, sociocultural theory, educational technology, and digital ethics. The findings indicate that AI enhances adaptive personalization, accelerates feedback mechanisms, and supports learner autonomy. However, the analysis also reveals that AI systems frequently reproduce dominant linguistic norms, reflect Western-centric cultural narratives, and embed algorithmic biases rooted in uneven data infrastructures. Furthermore, the expansion of generative AI tools complicates academic integrity, authorship practices, and data governance within educational institutions. By synthesizing theoretical insights from Holmes (2022), Selwyn (2021), Pennycook (2017), Noble (2018), and Floridi (2019), this article argues that AI integration must be guided by human-centered pedagogical intentionality, cultural responsiveness, and ethical accountability. The study contributes to ongoing debates on technological innovation and social justice in global language education and proposes a comprehensive framework for responsible AI implementation in multilingual contexts.

EXPOSURE TO AUTHENTIC MATERIALS IN ENGLISH AS A FOREIGN LANGUAGE CLASSES AS A FOREIGN LANGUAGE
In Indonesian primary, middle, and high schools, traditional English instruction usually places a strong emphasis on grammar rule-based learning. English produced in classrooms under the test-based education system seems to be unspoken outside of the classroom. Consequently, students find it difficult to acclimate to speaking English with native speakers in the actual world. Connecting with native speakers requires them to continuously modify their language use in areas where appropriate teaching was lacking. By exposing students to real content that is tailored to their interests and level of sensitivity, teachers may help them develop a self-created "English Environment" that help them become more sensitive and proficient in the target language. English teachers should ideally use a variety of authentic materials in addition to English textbooks to stimulate the natural language learning process and enable effective English as a foreign language instruction. Examples of authentic materials include writing, essays, short stories, and song lyrics in realistic language. In light of this, the essay addresses how teachers can utilize authentic materials in EFL lessons to great success as well as how authentic materials can assist students in understanding the true context of English.
