Abstract

The widespread use of social media has had a significant impact on digital power dynamics and accountability. Meta, the parent company of Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp, has frequently faced criticism for its social responsibility in addressing the detrimental effects of its platforms. Arguments between Senator Josh Hawley and Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg during a US congressional hearing exemplified this tension. This study employs a Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) approach based on Norman Fairclough's model, which has three main dimensions: text analysis, discursive practice analysis, and social practice analysis. This analysis demonstrates how Senator Josh Hawley and Mark Zuckerberg's debate at a US congressional hearing highlighted the tension between technological innovation and Meta-corporate social responsibility. Also, it emphasizes how Zuckerberg's apology lacked concrete steps in response to this issue, as he did not mention compensation for victims or major changes to the platform's algorithm. Hawley utilized hostile speech (aggressive or antagonistic, frequently with the intention of eliciting a negative response) to pressure Zuckerberg to admit Meta's failure to protect users. Ina contrary, Zuckerberg preferred defensive language (respond defensively, frequently in a manner that prevents open dialogue or hinders understanding) to project a positive picture of the corporation.

Abstract

The perspectives of international students on higher education institutions in India, especially in comparison to those in other developing countries, remain a critical concern, particularly when considering the highly competitive climate of studying abroad. This study seeks to examine the quality dimensions and facilities offered at a public university in Hyderabad, India, from the viewpoint of international students. This research fills an important gap by exploring what international students experience and expect during an increasingly competitive global academic system. A descriptive qualitative design was employed, to investigate the experiences of 120 international students from diverse academic disciplines and degree programs. Data were collected through questionnaires and in-depth interviews, with responses analyzed using descriptive statistical methods. Findings suggest that while international students generally view the institution’s quality services and facilities as comparable to global standards, they also express significant concerns, particularly with the ICT infrastructure, accessibility to laboratory practicums, and hygiene standards. Despite these challenges, the positive assessment of the institution’s quality services indicates areas for potential improvement, especially in instructional quality, teaching-learning processes, and examination mechanisms. Nonetheless, the study’s limitations include the potential for bias in self-reported data and limited generalizability outside similar socio-cultural and educational contexts. Future research should expand the sample size, employ longitudinal designs, and explore additional contextual factors to deepen understanding of international student satisfaction and develop sustainable improvement strategies for higher education quality.

Abstract

Early childhood language development is a multifaceted and intricate process that includes the acquisitionof various linguistic components. However, occurrence of language delays or disorders among 3-5-years-old children is a significant challenge that can impede this progression. These delays or disorders can have asignificant impact on word class acquisition, which is a fundamental aspect of language development. Thisstudy aims to elucidate the diverse types of word classes observed in the language acquisition process ofchildren aged 3-5 years in North Aceh. Specifically, the investigation focuses on noun, verb, and adjectiveword classes. Employing a qualitative approach within a descriptive research framework. Thus, variousdata collection techniques including observation, listening, recording, note-taking, and documentation,were utilized in this study. Purposive sampling was employed, resulting in a sample size of 5 participants.These five participants were selected based on their age criteria, research site location, language proficiency,active engagement in interactions, as well as their availability and willingness to participate. The primarydata source encompassed children aged 3-5 years, with a particular emphasis on nouns, verbs, and adjectivesderived from conversational interactions. The results revealed three distinct types of word classes in thelanguage acquisition process of children aged 3-5 years. Firstly, the noun word class encompassed a rangeof entities, such as people, animals, fruits, flowers, food and drinks, tableware, sports equipment, clothing,plants, transportation equipment, and other nouns typically associated with the child’s environment.Secondly, the verb word class comprised verbs accompanied by objects and verbs without objects. Thirdly,the adjective word class characterized the state of nouns or objects, encompassing descriptors relatedto mental attitude, shape, size, color, mileage, temperature and humidity, power of energy, and senseimpressions. This study sheds light on the diverse nature of language learning in children aged 3-5 yearsby evaluating and analyzing these distinct word classes. Equally significant, by examining the linguisticpatterns and structures that emerged during this time period, this study contributes to our understanding of how children acquire language during the preschool years.

Abstract

Every word spoken, every sentence constructed, and every discourse contains ideological weight that reflects the power structures within society. In the political landscape of the United States, presidential speeches hold a special position as a genre of discourse that not only reflects the individual vision of a leader, but also represents the aspirations, values, and identity of the nation. This phenomenon becomes even more significant when analyzed through the lens of critical discourse analysis, which allows researchers to uncover layers of meaning hidden behind linguistic constructions. This study uses critical discourse analysis to examine Barack Obama's farewell speech as a complex discourse practice that reflects and shapes contemporary American socio-political reality. Using Fairclough's three-dimensional analytical framework, this study analyzes the speech in terms of its textual, discursive, and sociocultural dimensions during the contentious transition to the Trump administration. Textual analysis reveals the strategic use of language with carefully chosen vocabulary and grammatical constructions, reinforcing the themes of unity and democracy. At the discourse practice level, the speech employs effective rhetorical strategies, including personal addresses and compelling narratives to build emotional connections with the audience. Sociocultural analysis shows deep integration with the American institutional context, evidenced by the strategic choice of location in Chicago, acknowledgment of racial challenges, and calls to overcome intensifying political polarization. Findings indicate that Obama's farewell speech illustrates how political discourse functions as an instrument for maintaining and transforming democratic values during critical political transitions. The speech's power stems from its sophisticated linguistic construction and its capacity to respond to the broader sociopolitical context with profound nuance.

Abstract

The proliferation of the English language has resulted in the blending of the English language and culture into the national and indigenous languages of emerging countries, including Indonesia. Although most people in North Aceh, Indonesia, are Acehnese, some restaurants and coffee shops are named in English. This study explores how English acculturation in the naming of food and coffee shops affects the visibility and preservation of local languages in this area. Using Berrys acculturation framework, the research categorizes naming practices into assimilation, integration, and isolation, analyzing how English, Indonesian, and Acehnese elements are blended or separated in commercial branding. Data were gathered through interviews with business owners and customers, as well as observations of shop names and menus. The findings reveal that assimilation is the most dominant strategy, reflecting a preference for English-language branding as a symbol of modernity and prestige, particularly among younger entrepreneurs. However, some businesses still adopt integrated or local naming conventions to retain cultural identity. These practices have sociolinguistic implications, as the increased dominance of English may marginalize the Acehnese language in public spaces. The study calls for culturally responsive language planning to ensure a balance between global appeal and local heritage in commercial language use.

Abstract

This paper examines the semantic dimensions in Adele's song “My Little Love” through an analysis of the denotative and connotative meanings contained in the lyrics. The research aims to identify the types of meaning present and explore how these meanings represent emotional interpretations in musical works. The theoretical framework used is James Dickins' theory of connotative meaning to dissect the layers of meaning behind the lyrics. The results show that the song lyrics contain two main categories of meaning. First, the denotative meaning, which presents literal and explicit communication between Adele and her child. Second, connotative meaning, which consists of five subtypes: (1) affective meaning, which expresses deep emotions, (2) attitudinal meaning, which describes the singer's psychological position, (3) basic meaning, which refers to fundamental values, (4) illocutionary meaning that overrides locution, and (5) associative meaning that builds symbolic connections. The findings reveal that denotative meaning serves as the foundation of verbal communication, while connotative meaning presents emotional complexity that includes guilt, vulnerability, maternal love, and loneliness. The interaction between these two types of meaning collectively reflects Adele's personal experience of dealing with divorce and the challenges of being a single mother. This study contributes to the understanding of the use of figurative language in contemporary music and opens up opportunities for further semantic studies of other popular music works to enrich the linguistic discourse in the music industry.

Abstract

This study investigates the complex relationship between power dynamics, gender inequalities, and ideological influence in the field of journalism during the Taliban regime's rule. Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) is used in this study to investigate the various constraints faced by female journalists and media workers. This research paper investigates the consequences of limited information access, as well as widespread arrests and intimidation by both government officials and fighters. The study also looks into the Taliban's strict limitations on media activities, such as the division of workspaces, the requirement for women to cover their faces while on screen, and the regulation of analyst involvement in political programming. The intricate power dynamics that underpin their narratives are revealed through this analysis. The de facto government and combatants are portrayed as entities attempting to maintain their authority, whereas the Taliban attempts to impose regressive ideologies to women who work in news media.

Abstract

Students’ comprehension of narrative texts was hampered in the chosen educational setting, necessitating the implementation of effective interventions. The Rally Coach strategy, an emerging approach, is based on the notion that collaborative learning boosts student performance. This study aims to determine if there is a significant difference in reading comprehension achievement between students taught using the Rally Coach Strategy and those taught using traditional methods. A quasi-experimental research design was employed to assess the efficacy of Spencer Kagan's Rally Coach Strategy in improving students' reading comprehension skills. The study's t-test results showed a significant improvement in reading comprehension, with a value of 6.039 exceeding the t-table result of 2.048, indicating a substantial improvement in reading comprehension achievement. These findings support the alternative hypothesis, implying that implementing the Rally Coach Method in the experimental classroom would significantly improve the quality of reading comprehension instruction. Overall, this study adds valuable empirical evidence to support the Rally Coach strategy's effectiveness in improving students' reading comprehension skills. This study addresses a critical educational concern by identifying a successful intervention to address low reading comprehension achievement and emphasizes the importance of cooperative learning strategies, such as the Rally Coach Strategy, in improving students' overall reading comprehension abilities.
