Abstract

Speaking is the basic as well as the most important skill that needs to be acquired by English language learners. It is advisable that learning speaking English should begin as early as possible; however, to teach speaking skill to young learners is not an easy task since their age is the age of playing. Teaching speaking to young learners requires a teacher to find the technique best work with children, one of which is through games. One of the games that is corresponding to the age of young learners is a snake and ladder game. This paper aims at describing how a snake and ladder game is used in teaching speaking to young learners. Based on the discussion on applying a snake and ladder game, it is concluded that this game is the right game to apply in teaching speaking to young learners. People during early ages like playing and dislikes studying, especially in a formal education. By using this game, the children (learners) do not realize that they learn to speak English because they enjoy playing the game. In addition, this game supports the issue of student-centered learning because the students are the ones who actively practice speaking, while the teacher acts as the learning facilitator who provides assistance if needed.

Abstract

This study examines the application of modality in analytical exposition texts written by senior high school students, focusing on how different modalities convey ideas, judgments, and attitudes. Employing a comprehensive theoretical framework, the research categorizes modality into three types: epistemic (expressing degrees of certainty), deontic (indicating necessity or obligation), and dynamic (reflecting ability or willingness). Data were gathered through a documentation method, analyzing 36 essays written by 11th-grade students in an academic writing class. The analysis identified 77 clauses containing modality, distributed as follows: 42 clauses (54.5%) were epistemic, 11 clauses (14.3%) were deontic, and 24 clauses (31.2%) were dynamic. The dominance of epistemic modality indicates students’ inclination to express degrees of certainty in their arguments, reflecting an awareness of the persuasive demands of analytical exposition. The moderate presence of dynamic modality highlights their ability to convey potential or capability, while the limited use of deontic modality suggests less emphasis on obligation or necessity in their arguments. These findings underscore the critical role of modality in academic writing, particularly in structuring clear and persuasive arguments. This study emphasizes the need for educators to enhance students' understanding and effective application of modality in writing, ensuring greater clarity and precision in their analytical texts. By addressing gaps in students’ use of modality, this research contributes to improving their expressive skills and their ability to tackle complex issues critically. Furthermore, it offers insights into how instructional strategies can better support students in mastering this essential aspect of academic communication.

Abstract

This study employed Fairclough’s Critical Discourse Analysis, focusing on the discursive construction of child molestation using the transitivity process. The research aimed to (1) describe transitivity patterns in child molestation news articles published by The Jakarta Post, (2) examine how these patterns constructed the discourse, and (3) explore why such construction occurred. A qualitative content analysis was used to analyze clauses from five selected news texts. The study found that the most dominant transitivity processes were verbal and material. Verbal processes appeared 57 times (43.8%), while material processes occurred 48 times (36.9%), showing only a 6.9% difference. Verbal process verbs included reported, told, accused, said, and announced, while material process verbs included molested, abused, and arrested. These findings indicate that the news writers constructed the narratives based on information from police, witnesses, and victims to outline the chronology of the molestation incidents. The reports often portrayed children as the affected participants, with perpetrators positioned as the main actors responsible for the events. Through analyzing these transitivity patterns, the researcher identified how socio-cultural ideologies were embedded in the discourse. The texts implied that minors are perceived as vulnerable and lacking full legal protection. Moreover, the narratives challenged the common perception that women are always the victims of sexual abuse, showing that children of both genders could be victims. The perpetrators were often figures with authority in schools and the psychological impact on the victims was highlighted throughout the texts.
