Does The EFL-Multimodal Textbook and Culture In The Independent Curriculum Represent Character Education?: A Critical Discourse Analysis
While there has been extensive research on Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) in multimodal textbooks, most studies primarily focus on analyzing culture and gender. However, the investigation of Character Education using CDA still needs to be more extensive. To fill this void, this study aims to examine the representation of Character Education in secondary-level English textbooks in Indonesia, following one of the goals of the latest curriculum to make each individual have character and behave following the values of Profil Pelajar Pancasila (The Pancasila Students’ Profiles). To address this issue, this study conducted a critical discourse analysis by adopting Kress and Van Leuween's (2006) Visual Grammar Theory to analyze the visual image and Halliday’s (1975) and Matthiessen’s (2004) Systemic Functional Analysis (SFL) to elucidate the textual representation of the character education in the selected EFL-multimodal textbook. This research focuses on Thomas Lickona's (1996) six fundamental components of good character: caring, honesty, fairness, accountability, and respect for self and others.

Politeness of Students’ Short Message (SMS) to Lecturers (Pragmatic Approach)
In academic communication, politeness in short messages (SMS) from students to lecturers is an important aspect that reflects respect and language ethics. From a pragmatic perspective, politeness in messages is not only determined by the choice of polite words, but also by understanding the context, language function, and prevailing social norms. Based on pragmatic principles, the messages conveyed by students must pay attention to factors such as social status, the relationship between speakers and interlocutors, and the purpose of communication. For example, the use of opening greetings, polite request expressions, and polite closings shows awareness of the principle of politeness in communication. Conversely, messages that are too direct, without self-introduction, or use informal language can be perceived as lacking respect for academic norms.
