One of surah in Quran is surah Luqman, which consists of many advices of a man whose name is Luqman. It is so special because there are educational aspects which can be learned from this surah.

Newspapers these days tend to be less kind, especially when reporting on elections. Euphemisms can be used because journalistic discourse surrounding elections is essentially political.

This research data is presented as words, phrases, and clauses found throughout the whole news discourse column concerning elections in the daily Jawa Pos issue from November 2023 for 12 discourses. The documentation approach was used to acquire data. The research findings demonstrate that euphemisms in simple words, phrases, and clauses are present in the news discourse regarding the election in the daily Jawa Pos for November. In news discussions around elections, euphemisms typically have meanings related to linguistic refinement and the concealment of unpleasant facts or events.

Abstract

This article examines the speech delivered in a YouTube video by Haris Azhar and Fatia Maulidiyanti, which led to a defamation lawsuit filed by a high-ranking Indonesian official. Using a forensic linguistic approach, the study investigates whether the utterances constitute defamatory speech or protected public criticism. A descriptive qualitative method is employed to analyze the lexical, syntactic, pragmatic, and discourse-level features of the video. The analysis identifies three categories of speech—false factual claims, critical opinions, and data-driven statements—and finds that the utterances fall primarily within the latter two, characterized by cautious language such as “allegedly” and “according to reports.” These linguistic mitigations indicate a lack of intent to defame and reflect research-based criticism. The study concludes that the speech acts, from a forensic linguistic perspective, do not fulfill the criteria for criminal defamation, but rather exemplify constitutionally protected freedom of expression.

Abstract

This study critically examines the presence and representation of neoliberal discourse in a Vocational High School English textbook used in Indonesia. Drawing on Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA), the research uncovers how the textbook's language, content, and imagery reflect and perpetuate neoliberal ideologies, including individualism, competitiveness, and market-driven values. The researchers collected the data from an English textbook of a vocational high school in Indonesia, representing the neoliberal aspect. By analyzing textual and visual elements, this study reveals how such ideologies subtly shape students' perceptions of success, identity, and societal roles beyond language learning objectives. The findings demonstrate that the textbook serves as a tool for language acquisition and a medium for ideological dissemination, promoting values aligned with global neoliberal norms. This research highlights the importance of critically evaluating educational materials to ensure they align with the holistic development of students and local cultural contexts. We recommend that curriculum developers, policymakers, and educators foster a more balanced and contextually relevant approach to English language education.

Abstract

English grammar plays a crucial role in developing writing and speaking skills at the elementary school level. However, students’ grammar mastery varies according to psychological and pedagogical factors that shape their learning engagement. This study aims to analyze the influence of locus of control and learning models on the grammar skills of elementary school students, as well as to examine the moderating role of external locus of control. The research employed a quantitative approach involving 120 students in grades 4–6 at SD Kristen Aletheia Malang. Data were collected using validated and reliable questionnaires and analyzed using Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA). The results show that internal locus of control has a significant positive effect on grammar skills, indicating that students who believe in their own effort tend to achieve better grammar performance. Learning models were also found to significantly enhance students’ grammar ability through increased engagement and structured practice. Furthermore, external locus of control significantly moderated the relationship between learning models and grammar skills, suggesting that students who rely on external reinforcement benefit more from supportive instructional strategies. These findings highlight the importance of considering both student psychological characteristics and appropriate learning models to optimize English learning outcomes in primary education.

Abstract

This research investigates the use of picture media to improve students’ ability to read and understand descriptive texts. The study addresses three main questions: (a) How is picture media implemented to enhance reading comprehension of descriptive texts? (b) How does picture media improve students’ comprehension of descriptive texts? and (c) How does picture media improve students’ overall reading ability? The participants were 25 seventh-grade students of SMP Negeri 2 Kodi Utara, Sumba Barat Daya, who were taught using picture-based learning to support comprehension development. The study employed Classroom Action Research (CAR), conducted in two cycles, with each cycle consisting of planning, action, observation, and reflection. Data were analyzed using descriptive and statistical techniques. The results show a clear improvement in students’ reading comprehension through the use of picture media. This improvement is reflected in the increase from the pre-test mean score of 1.164 in Cycle I to the post-test mean score of 1.936 in Cycle II. These findings indicate that picture media effectively enhances students’ reading ability in descriptive text learning.
