Abstract

This study aimed to analyze students’ difficulties in using the simple past tense in writing narrative texts at SMK Negeri 3 Medan. The research focused on identifying the types of grammatical errors and exploring the factors contributing to these difficulties. A descriptive qualitative research design was employed. The participants were tenth-grade students of the Rekayasa Perangkat Lunak program. Data were collected through a writing test and semi-structured interviews and were analyzed using data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing techniques. The findings revealed that students experienced significant difficulties in forming regular and irregular verb forms, using the past forms of “to be” (was/were), and maintaining tense consistency throughout their narratives. The errors were primarily influenced by limited vocabulary mastery, insufficient understanding of grammatical rules, lack of structured practice, and low learning motivation. These findings indicate that students’ grammatical competence significantly affects their narrative writing performance. Therefore, contextualized grammar instruction, systematic explanation of verb forms, and continuous guided writing practice are essential to enhance students’ mastery of the simple past tense and improve their overall writing proficiency.

Abstract

This research investigates the use of illocutionary speech acts in Prabowo Subianto’s speech at the United Nations, aiming to identify the types of illocutionary acts and their functions in political discourse. The study employs a qualitative descriptive approach grounded in pragmatic theory, focusing on the classification of speech acts based on Searle’s framework: representative, directive, commissive, expressive, and declarative. The data were collected from the speech transcript and analyzed through data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal that representative acts dominate the speech 50%, indicating the speaker’s emphasis on conveying facts, beliefs, and social or humanitarian realities. Directive acts account for approximately 23,08%, reflecting efforts to persuade and motivate the audience to take collective action. Commissive acts represent 19,23% of the utterances, demonstrating commitments and promises, particularly concerning Indonesia’s contributions to global peacekeeping and international development. Expressive acts make up around 7,69%, showing emotional engagement and moral concern, while declarative acts are absent, suggesting a focus on persuasion and ethical appeal rather than formal institutional action. The study concludes that Prabowo Subianto’s speech effectively combines informative, persuasive, and ethical strategies, with a strong emphasis on representative and directive illocutionary acts to inform, inspire, and mobilize the international audience. This research contributes to the understanding of pragmatic functions in political discourse and provides insights for speakers, educators, and researchers in applying illocutionary theory to real-world communication. In conclusion, the dominance of representative acts, supported by directive and commissive acts, demonstrates that Prabowo Subianto’s speech functions mainly as a diplomatic and persuasive political discourse aimed at informing, influencing, and fostering international cooperation. This study contributes to the field of pragmatics by providing insight into the use of illocutionary speech acts in political speeches delivered at international forums.

Abstract

This study aims to identify the types of Indonesian taboo language used by fifth-semester students of the English Education Study Program at HKBP Nommensen University and to analyze the contextual factors influencing their use in daily conversations. Taboo language frequently appears in informal communication and reflects social interaction patterns among students. This research employed a descriptive qualitative method. The data were collected through natural observation and audio recordings of students’ conversations around the ground floor area of Building L at HKBP Nommensen University. A total of 193 taboo expressions were identified from 35 speech events. The data were analyzed using the classification of taboo language proposed by Edwin L. Battistella, while the contextual analysis was interpreted through the SPEAKING model developed by Dell Hymes. The findings reveal that epithets are the most frequently used type of taboo language in students’ conversations. These expressions are commonly used in informal interactions to express emotions, humor, and solidarity among peers. The study indicates that taboo language in this context functions not only as offensive language but also as a strategy for maintaining social bonding among students.

The total number of roles of phatic communion are; Opening phase 3 utterances = 60.00%, Middle phase 1 utterances = 20.00, and Closing phase 11 utterances = 20.00%. Phatic communion occurs both in formal or informal situation and the relationship between the participants can be intimate or distant. It can happen in both higher and lower status. The atmosphere is commonly good but if the atmosphere is bad, phatic communion utterances will help to turn into the good one. The attitude of the participants while uttering phatic communion utterances is usually sympathetic. It can be seen from the low tone. At last, phatic communion functions to establish and maintain social relationship between people in society. Keywords: Pragmatics, Phatic Communion, Me Before You movie.

The graphic clearly shows that most of the students’ vocabulary mastery fall in the poor level in using antonym. The result of students’ interview which involved 5 participants which aimed to find out the students’ difficulties in learning vocabulary shows that most of students reciprocally mention that English is one of the most difficult subjects learnt at school. The lack of repetition by students was also one of the main reason of students limited vocabularies which lead to the result of poor level ability of students’ vocabulary mastery particularly in defining antonym.

Abstract

This study examined the translation strategies used by second-grade students of SMA Swasta Gajah Mada Medan in translating exposition texts from English into Indonesian. The research was based on Baker (2018), which provides a framework for addressing non-equivalence at the lexical and semantic levels. Exposition texts were selected because they present complex vocabulary and abstract concepts that require strategic translation decisions. A qualitative descriptive method was employed. The data were collected from students’ translation tasks and interviews. The translation results were analyzed using Baker’s (2018) translation strategy framework, and the interviews were used to identify students’ reasons for selecting particular strategies. The results showed that students used a variety of translation strategies, with paraphrasing (24.40%) and loan words (23.17%) being the most dominant. Paraphrasing was preferred by 30% of the students because it allowed them to restate English expressions in clearer and more familiar Indonesian forms. Meanwhile, 20% of the students used loan words because several English terms were already common and easily recognized in Indonesian, allowing them to maintain accuracy when no suitable equivalent was available. The discussion indicates that these dominant strategies were effective in helping students address non-equivalence and produce translations that were clearer, more natural, and more accurate. The findings also suggest that students tended to choose strategies that balanced meaning preservation and target-language acceptability.
