Grounded in the frameworks of Marton and Säljö’s Deep Learning Theory, Entwistle’s Students’ Approaches to Learning (SAL), and Biggs’ 3P Model, the study contrasts deep learning’s emphasis on comprehension and application with surface learning’s focus on memorization. It highlights challenges in implementing deep learning, including the dominance of traditional teaching methods, resource limitations, and the need for professional development. The paper underscores the transformative potential of deep learning in cultivating linguistic adaptability and reflective thinking, particularly through strategies such as task-based learning, inquiry-driven activities, and formative assessments. Practical recommendations are provided to align curriculum design and assessment with deep learning principles, addressing barriers to integration in diverse ELT contexts. A visual framework of deep learning dimensions is also proposed, offering educators a structured approach to enhance classroom practices. By bridging theory and practice, this paper advocates for pedagogical shifts that align with 21st-century educational goals, equipping learners with the skills needed for real-world communication challenges. Future research should focus on adapting deep learning frameworks to promote deeper engagement in ELT.</p> David Oktavianus Akhyar Rido Copyright (c) 2025 Journal of Research on Language Education 2025-07-31 2025-07-31 6 2 1 10 10.33365/jorle.v6i2.353 https://publikasi.teknokrat.ac.id/index.php/jorle/article/view/645 <p>The research investigates the position of the LGBT individuals within the Indonesian literature and the Indonesian public policies framework. Employing a descriptive-qualitative approach, analysis and interpretation of literary works and public policies are conducted through repeated readings and library studies. In addition, a personal interview was conducted to strengthen the analysis. The research focuses on three main aspects: (1) representation of LGBT literature in Indonesia, (2) exploration of how the Indonesian public policies affect the Indonesian discourses on homosexuality, and (3) examination on how the Indonesian LGBT literary works highlight the gaps and challenges within those policies.&nbsp; To unveil the three aspects, several sources are also used alongside the method like personal interview, reviews, articles, essays, and books. The research highlights literature’s role as both a medium to resist and a critique towards the social injustice in these LGBT individuals experience in the society.</p> Desca Angelianawati Edoardus E.
