Abstract

This study was aimed at scrutinising a multimodal text embedded in a dialogue of an EFL textbook. To this end, Systemic Functional Multimodal Discourse Analysis (SF-MDA) focused on interpersonal meanings consulting grammar of visual design and intersemiotic complementarity drawing on systemic functional linguistics were employed to analyse the artefact, a dialogue within a part named 'communication' taken from an EFL textbook for a primary school level. The findings revealed that declarative clause and modalisation (epistemic modality) of probability was found to be the most common system used in the verbal text. Meanwhile, high modality and validity were found in the visual image indicated by the realisations and representations of detailed abstraction and full-colour saturation. Finally, the study draws a conclusion that there is a cohesive interaction to a certain extent between the verbal text and the visual image represented in the multimodal dialogue.

Abstract

This study aims to understand tofu entrepreneurs' perceptions of the factors affecting the decline of the tofus industry both simultaneously and partially in Kuningan Regency. The study employs descriptive quantitative methods through a survey approach, aiming to explain and summarize various conditions and situations while revealing problems or facts in more depth. This study also utilizes measurements and analyses to explore the views of tofo entrepreneurs regarding the elements that contribute to the decline in the number of industries. The results indicate that the entrepreneurs' perceived factors regarding capital, raw materials, labor, marketing, and training simultaneously have a significant effect on the decline, with a p-value of 0.049  0.05. In contrast, the capital factor does not have an impact on industry decline, while the marketing factor partially influences industry decline. In addition, the effect of reactivating tempeh-tofu cooperatives (Kopti) on operational efficiency and profitability is not significant. The findings provide practical implications for policymakers and entrepreneurs to address industry challenges. These avenues could provide valuable insights and actionable strategies that could be applied locally.
