Abstract

This study aims to analyze the use of pauses, overlaps, and backchanneling in political conversations on Najwa Shihab’s YouTube channel, specifically between Najwa and Ahok, using Yule’s (1996) Pragmatics theory. The research method is a descriptive qualitative method with a conversation analysis approach. Data were collected through conversation transcripts and analyzed using conversation analysis theory. The results show that pauses are divided into short and long pauses. Short pauses occurred 6 times, typically happening when a speaker is thinking or formulating the next words, while long pauses occurred 9 times, providing space for the interlocutor to think and respond. Overlaps occurred 26 times and were categorized into three types: difficulty in conversation with an unfamiliar person occurring once, expressions of closeness and solidarity occurring twice, and interruptions occurring 23 times. These overlaps often happened when both speakers spoke simultaneously, arising from awkwardness, enthusiasm, or interruptions to present a different argument or defend a point of view. Additionally, vocal backchannels, such as “mmm,” “yes,” and “okay,” occurred 11 times, while non-vocal backchanneling, such as nodding, occurred once. Backchannels serve as short responses from the listener to indicate attention, agreement, or understanding. This study concludes that these elements play a crucial role in enriching the dynamics of political conversations on social media, enhancing interaction between speakers.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the textual function in the Merdeka Belajar English textbook for 11th- grade vocational high school students using the Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL) approach developed by M.A.K. Halliday. Employing a descriptive qualitative method and the interactive analysis model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña (2014), the study examines 37 sentences from exposition and image-based texts in Chapter 1 of the textbook. The analysis focuses on mood types and theme-rheme structures. The findings reveal that declarative mood is the most dominant (78.3%), highlighting the informative and explanatory nature of the texts. Interrogative (18.9%) are used rhetorically to engage readers, while one nominal fragment (2.7%) is also identified. All sentences (100%) contain a complete Theme–Rheme structure. Modal elements and finite verbal operators each appear in 16.2% of the data, indicating interpersonal interaction. Textual markers such as conjunctions (8.1%), conjunctive adjuncts (5.4%), and continuatives (2.7%) further support cohesion.This consistent use of thematic and mood structures supports coherence, facilitates reader comprehension, and enhances the effectiveness of the learning materials. The study provides insights for improving English textbook design tailored to vocational education needs. The analysis reveals that all three textual functions; Topical, Textual, and Interpersonal Themes are realized, with the Topical Theme being the most dominant. This highlights the text’s focus on clarity and structured information flow, while the minimal use of Interpersonal and Textual Themes reflects a formal, straightforward expository style.

Abstract

The background of this research is because students of SMA N 3 Medan have weak writing skills in analytical exposition texts due to lack of mastery of vocabulary, grammar, and writing structure. This study aims to examine the effectiveness of Think Talk Write (TTW) strategy in learning to write analytical exposition texts for students in grade XI of SMA Negeri 3 Medan. This study addresses the problem of students' difficulties in writing analytical exposition texts, particularly in organizing ideas and understanding text structures. The study employs a quantitative experimental method with a true experimental design, involving two groups: an experimental class taught using the TTW strategy and a control class taught through conventional methods. The research subjects were 72 class XI students of SMA Negeri 3 Medan who were divided into experimental and control groups. Data were collected through pre-tests and post-tests to measure students' writing performance. The research uses statistical data analysis techniques including normality tests, homogeneity tests, and t-tests. The findings show a significant improvement in the experimental group compared to the control group. The mean post-test score for the experimental group was 84.13, exceeding the control group's mean score of 71.2. In addition, the data collected for this study showed normal distribution. Based on the analysis conducted using the t-test, Tcount = 3.11 was obtained at a significant level of α = 5%, dk (n-1) = 14, so (15-1) = 14, so Ttable = 1.76. It can be concluded that Tcount > Ttable (3.11> 1.76).  The implication of the results of this study is that it shows that the Think Talk Write strategy can be widely adopted by English teachers as a more effective writing learning method than conventional methods to improve students' ability to write analytical exposition texts.
