Abstract

Islamic lectures are potent media for people to influence others, specific groups, and society. Based on this case, this research aims to identify and analyze the types of persuasive strategies used by Zakir Naik in his Islamic Lecture under the theme “Islam and the 21st Century,” which took place at the Oxford Union. This descriptive and qualitative research used the Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) approach proposed by Teun A. Van Dijk. Furthermore, Aristotle’s Rhetorical Theory of Persuasion was employed to support the analysis of how persuasive strategies were applied in the Islamic lecture. The data of this research were the sentences of the speech text transcription, which contained persuasive strategies spoken by Zakir Naik in his “Islam and the 21st Century” Oxford Union Islamic Lecture uploaded on his YouTube Channel. The results show three categories of “socio-cognitive” CDA by Teun A. Van Dijk, namely, text, cognition, and social context, which are used to analyze the speech text and its relation to social and power. Concerning this, the persuasive strategies analysis shows that Zakir Naik uses three types of rhetorical proofs from a total of 121 data, which include ethical proof (ethos), logical proof (logos), and emotional proof (pathos). Ethos is the most common rhetorical proof in his Islamic lecture, making up 63.5% of the speech. It is followed by pathos (33.58% of the speech) and logos (27.22% of the speech).

Abstract

This study aims to explore how students’ thinking evolved during joining the ELT class, how their insights changed, what moments lead students to undergo the transformation, and what ELT students believed about the TT contribution to ELT. Photovoice, a participatory research method was employed to these determined research purposes. Approximately 75 students, aged 19-20 years old were invited to participate in this study. They were instructed to submit two pictures. Each picture was given 5 questions: what you saw here, what really happened, how did this relate to your life, why did this occur, and what could you do regarding EL II. A questionnaire was designed to be filled out by the students using Google Forms, which was used as the second data to complete the pictures’ interpretation. Data analysis then used the model from Erlingsson and Brysiewicz (2017) consisting of four steps: condensation, coding using MAXQDA, categorization, and finalizing the themes. This study provided insightful information about the dynamics of transformative thinking in ELT classrooms through photovoice. The results helped us understand the cognitive and affective aspects of English language learning, which guided the pedagogical strategies used in ELT classes to promote students’ transformational thinking.

Therefore, transformative thinking, creativity, and English competence become crucial. This study aims to explore how students from various backgrounds perceive the importance and the role of English competence, transformative thinking, and creative thinking in the gig economy era. Furthermore, this study also analyzes the relation between students’ socioeconomic background and their level of English competence toward their job readiness. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, data were collected through a reflective instrument based on open-ended questions designed to explore students’ views and strategies in facing the challenges of the gig economy era. Fifty-one students with different characteristics, including high and low achievers and socioeconomic backgrounds, volunteered for the study. Thematic analysis was used to identify mindsets and work readiness that emerged from their narratives. The findings revealed that English competence is strongly related to self-confidence, professional communication effectiveness, and the ability to build global connections. Meanwhile, transformative and creative thinking encourages students to think critically, adapt to change, design creative solutions, and think outside the box.

The analysis of social context highlights the influence of power and access in shaping discourse. This study shows how digital narratives construct ideological shift and spiritual identities, offering insight into the persuasive power of discourse in religious transformation.
