The study reported in this paper aims to create a list of academic English derivational suffixes to help EFL teachers decide which derivational suffixes to be taught first and help their learners, especially those of higher education, expand their vocabulary size. Gardner and Davies’ (2014) 3,000-word list of Corpus of Contemporary American English (COCA) academic was analyzed following Hay (2002) and Plag’s (2006) frameworks by counting the number of words containing the suffixes. This study found 1,251 suffixed words in the corpus deriving from 41 suffixes, which comprise 22 noun suffixes, 13 adjectival suffixes, 4 verbal suffixes, and 2 adverbial suffixes. The suffixes were then ordered into 3 levels based on the frequency; 22 suffixes are put in Level 1, 12 suffixes in Level 2, and 7 suffixes in Level 3. Considering the high frequency, all suffixes in Level 1 should gain more attention of the teachers. The more frequent occurrence of the suffix in a variety of context will provide a greater chance for the learners to get more exposure. Hence, mastering it will likely expand learners’ vocabulary size through combining the suffix and existing base.

This Research & Development (R&D) aims at developing materials in the form of a coursebook prototype for the tenth-grade students of senior high schools in Indonesia. Teacher interviews and students questionnaire were used to assess the users’ needs. The data revealed that the existing materials are not relevant to the students’ needs majored in studying Math and Science (Biology, Chemistry, Physics). So there is a need for developing new materials by orienting to quality CLIL materials principles and task-based approach. In general, based on the validation checklists, the materials were considered reliable by the English teachers, the EFL material and language expert and the media expert. The final product was also considered acceptable by the students and teachers based on the questionnaires distributed after the limited-field tryout. The study resulted in three main products: Student Book, Teacher’s Guide, and Listening Audio CD.

This study examined the strategies employed by the main character in the Hancock movie named John Hancock to attack his interlocutors’ face, the way the recipients responded to his impoliteness, and how he used impoliteness to exercise his power. By using content analysis to draw inferences from utterances in the movie transcript, the study found that positive impoliteness is the most frequent strategy used by Hancock due to its abusive nature and withhold impoliteness is the least used due to its unlikeliness to damage the interlocutor’s face. Also, the study found that the recipients used all strategies to respond to Hancock’s impoliteness, except abrogation and dismissing. At the same time, apart from Hancock’s use of impoliteness to exercise power, such as to appear as superior, to get power over actions, and to dominate the conversation as Beebe (1995) noted, this study found that silence is also a way to exercise power to maintain control of undesired situations. The finding adds substantially to our understanding that silence as an impoliteness strategy might also serve the purpose of exercising power. This, of course, is open to debate and further research would verify or contradict this claim.

This research aims to identify politeness strategies reflected by the main character in “Bridge to Terabithia” movie. Qualitative method is used by the researcher to analyze the data. The data are the utterances of the main character that include politeness strategies. In analyzing the data, the researcher uses theory by Brown and Levinson (1987) about politeness strategies. The results of this research show that there are four types of politeness strategies which used by the main character in this movie. The most type that used is bald on record strategy and positive politeness strategy. The factors in using politeness strategies by the main character in this movie are payoffs in each strategy and circumstances (sociological variables). The researcher hopes that this research could give the contribution toward the next researchers. Moreover, some recommendations are given to the next researchers who will do the same research on politeness strategies either in the movie or in other forms.

This study scrutinized the historical literacy of Generation Z (Gen Z) Muslims about the pandemic and its impact on Muslim worship practices. The pandemic has raised not only questions about health but also worship. Employing a qualitative approach that combined textual and fieldwork research, this study seeks to explain the historical literacy of Gen Z Muslims about the pandemic. It also explores the ways in which they respond to the diversity in Muslim worship practices during the pandemic and the extent to which their involvement increases their Islamic historical literacy. The study was carried out in Surabaya, involving several data collection methods, such as interviews, focused group discussions, and surveys. The study reveals that the historical literacy of Gen Z Muslims fell short of expectations. Furthermore, with regards to the impact of the pandemic on the adjustment of worship practices among Muslims in their community, Gen Z Muslims are divided into three groups: affirmative, negative, and ignorant. This study also shows that Gen Z Muslims have yet to be connected intensely with community networks that allow them to participate in and improve their historical literacy.

The study aimed to provide an in-depth understanding of the messages conveyed by the posters related to COVID-19. Employing descriptive qualitative method, the study analyzed the verbal and visual elements of health promotion posters posted by the World Health Organization’s (WHO) official Instagram, using Halliday’s social semiotic metafunction and Kress and van Leeuwen’s multimodality. The study found that the multimodal posters effectively conveyed messages related to instructions, information, and prohibitions. However, an imbalance in the application of various modes within the posters was identified, posing the potential for misunderstanding and confusion among viewers. Nevertheless, the study offers several suggestions on creating health promotion posters that are both persuasive and informative. The findings contribute to the development of health campaign poster materials that capture attention, convey messages effectively, and align with expectations outlined in health campaign targets, while simultaneously ensuring comprehensive communication. The study provides evaluative results that can inform effective communication strategies for promoting public health during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

This study aims to examine the illocutionary acts used by the secondary character, Sherlock Holmes, in the movie Enola Holmes 2. Using a descriptive qualitative method, the study analyzed the dialogue in the movie transcript to identify the types of illocutionary acts employed by the characters. The study found that all types of illocutionary acts proposed by Searle (1969) were present in the movie. The most frequently used illocutionary act by Sherlock Holmes was assertive (55.2%), which reflects his role as a professional detective who delivers information and updates on his cases. In contrast, commissive (4.6%) was the least used illocutionary act by Sherlock Holmes, as he rarely makes promises to other characters. The study also examined the perlocutionary acts, which indicate the response of the interlocutors to the illocutionary acts used by Sherlock Holmes. The responses ranged from irritation to persuasion, encouragement, and sadness. This study highlights the importance of understanding the use of illocutionary acts in effective communication and provides insight into the language of a well-known literary character.

Communication is a form of bridge to convey thoughts between one individual and another. Every person must have their measure of being polite and harmonious according to who they are dealing with, including Wednesday Addams. This pragmatic research scrutinizes the politeness strategies employed by Wednesday Addams, the lead female protagonist in the Netflix series Wednesday. The character Wednesday Addams utilizes politeness strategies to maintain public and self-image during interactions while solving a murder case. Using descriptive qualitative methods, the researchers found that Wednesday frequently used bald on-record strategies with straightforward speech without being threatening. In contrast, off-record strategies were used less frequently. The researchers also observed that Wednesday used all the politeness strategies outlined by Brown and Levinson (1987). This study highlights the significance of politeness, not only for interpersonal relationships but also for achieving long-term goals, as demonstrated in the “Wednesday” series. However, further studies could provide additional perspectives and challenge the findings presented in this study.

Using appropriate stance markers is essential to enhance argumentation. However, scholars have consistently reported that linguistic, cultural, and instructional factors make developing persuasive skills in L2 writing instruction challenging. This quantitative study employed a corpus-based methodology to investigate the use of stance markers in the academic writing of Indonesian EFL learners to establish persuasive arguments. The dataset comprises academic essays from 59 learners who were part of their academic writing coursework. The stance markers were identified using AntConc software and analyzed following Hylands (2019) stance framework. The research revealed learners reliance on transitions to create a logical structure in their text, while the use of boosters slightly surpasses the use of hedges, reflecting their growing understanding of the need to balance certainty with caution in academic writing. The high frequency of markers for disagreement and doubt indicates their ability to engage effectively with alternative viewpoints. The findings of this study challenge the stigma that Asian EFL learners are less assertive in expressing their arguments and challenging opposing views because they adhere to their cultural communicative norms. However, we found the limited use of markers indicating subjectivity and evaluation, which points to a potential gap in pedagogical approaches and suggests the need for more targeted instruction to bridge culturally appropriate communication norms and academic writing conventions.
