Abstract

This research investigated the representation of Rohingya refugees stranded in Aceh province in the Indonesian news media during the four-year crisis between 2020 and 2023. The study aimed to examine how Rohingya refugees were represented in the media during the crisis using the Critical Discourse Analysis and the Discourse Historical Approach (DHA). The research employed a mixed method analysis to analyse the corpus data of 46,769 words extracted from 62 news articles published in two mainstream Indonesian publications, namely the regional Serambi Indonesia and the national Jakarta Post, between June 24, 2020, and March 27, 2023. Using corpus linguistics and Van Dijks CDA, the research uncovered four prominent argumentation strategies used in the media to portray the refugee crisis. Serambi Indonesia and the Jakarta Post utilised the Humanitarianism and Administration argumentation the most, concentrating on precarious conditions and efforts to handle the influx of refugees. Nevertheless, the local daily Serambi Indonesia used some Threat/Danger argumentation, portraying refugees as dangers and threats to local safety. The study further reveals how the medias alignment with the government agenda is decisive for the press to construct public narratives. The narrative is expected to influence peoples attitudes and behaviours toward refugees in the province of Aceh.

Abstract

English is considered a foreign language in Indonesia and is required to be studied from primary school through university. Almost all modern Islamic boarding schools require learners to speak English and Arabic on a daily basis. This paper aims to discuss how current Islamic boarding school students' speaking abilities have improved as a result of their use of digital media. The writer selected this medium based on a preliminary investigation that revealed learners' reluctance to use the English language, yet their delight in using Arabic in their daily lives. This study employed a quantitative approach, surveying 23 eighth-grade students using a 5-point Likert scale questionnaire to gather data on their experiences and self-confidence in speaking English through digital media. The use of digital media in the classroom inspires students to speak English. Many of our students continue to struggle with proper sentence construction and pronunciation in English. In other words, this study will look at how EFL students' speaking skills have gotten better because they use digital media. The results suggest that digital media has a substantial impact on students' pronunciation, vocabulary retention, sentence construction, and general confidence in speaking English. The findings suggest that incorporating digital media into English language instruction can significantly improve learners' speaking abilities when studying English as a foreign language.

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to find out whether or not small group discussion was effective in increasing students’ reading comprehension. Quantitative method was applied in this research by using quasi experimental design with two independent samples. The population taken in this research was the eighth grade students of SMP N 2 Takengon which was 221 students in total, while the samples were class VIII-2 and VIII-3 which were opted by applying random sampling. To collect the data, test was carried out to see the influence of applying SGD in the experimental class. From the data analysis, it can be seen that the mean score for experimental class before and after treatment were 46 and 66,5, while the mean score for control class were 45 and 53. The result of t-test showed that t-score (5,25) is higher than t-table (1,9) indicating that alternative hypothesis (Ha) was accepted and null hypothesis (Ho) was rejected. It signifies that small group discussion was effective in increasing students’ reading comprehension. It is suggested that the teachers apply this technique in teaching and learning.
