Abstract

This study investigates the representation of Nadiem Makarim in TikTok content published by Tech in Asia by employing Appraisal Theory and Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA). The research aims to identify the evaluative language used in the discourse and examine the ideological tendencies reflected in the media representation. The data consist of 109 clauses collected from opinion, interview, straight news, and hard news content related to the media-reported alleged corruption case involving Nadiem Makarim. A qualitative descriptive approach is employed in this study. The results show that engagement is the most dominant appraisal resource (71.5%), followed by attitude (20.2%) and graduation (8.3%). The frequent use of heteroglossic and monoglossic resources suggests that Tech in Asia constructs legitimacy through selected external voices, particularly from the technology and business sectors. The findings also indicate that Nadiem Makarim is predominantly represented as an innovator and entrepreneurial leader rather than being primarily associated with the legal allegations. From the perspective of Fairclough’s social practice framework, the discourse appears to reflect values related to innovation, entrepreneurial leadership, legal certainty, and technological development. Overall, this study demonstrates how evaluative language contributes to the construction of meaning and representation within contemporary digital media discourse.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the narrative structure of fables written by students of MTs YP H. Datuk Abdullah, to compare male and female students’ narratives, and to analyze the influence of gender perspectives on story construction. The analysis framework employs Todorov’s (1971) narrative structure theory, consisting of five stages: equilibrium, disruption, recognition, repair, and new equilibrium. A descriptive qualitative method was used with 32 seventh-grade students (15 male and 17 female) selected purposively as the subjects. Data were collected through fable writing tasks and semi-structured interviews, and validated through methodological triangulation, peer debriefing, and member checking. The results show significant differences: the majority of male students (11 out of 15, 73%) produced concise, action-oriented narratives that went straight to the core of the story with a simplified Todorov structure, while 4 students (27%) wrote longer or slightly more reflective narratives. In contrast, the majority of female students (12 out of 17, 71%) produced longer, expressive, and reflective narratives, emphasizing social relationships, emotions, and moral values with a complete Todorov structure, while 5 students (29%) produced shorter or less reflective narratives. The synthesis indicates that male students tend to emphasize physical action and outcomes, whereas female students emphasize emotional reflection, social interaction, and moral messages. These findings have implications for developing gender-responsive narrative writing strategies, enabling teachers to adapt methods that optimize students’ cognitive and expressive abilities.
