Abstract

This research focuses to analyse the morphological and semantic structure of the Indonesian word memohon, particularly in its usage as a synonym for berdoa (to pray or to request earnestly). It also explores the possibility that memohon originates from the noun pohon (tree), considering the phonological transformation that typically occurs when the prefix me- is attached to root words beginning with the consonant "p." A qualitative methodology is applied in this study, incorporating both descriptive and analytical analysis. The data of the study are drawn from dictionaries, linguistic references, and relevant Indonesian language corpora. The analysis involves the examination of word formation (morphology), phoneme shifts, and lexical as well as contextual meanings of memohon. The findings reveal that although pohon and memohon may appear phonologically similar, there is no direct etymological connection between them. The verb memohon is derived from the base word mohon, which has long existed in Classical Malay with the meaning of 'to respectfully request.' The prefix me- forms the active verb memohon, commonly used in both formal and spiritual contexts. Therefore, although memohon is often associated with praying, it is not derived from pohon. The study concludes that phonetic similarity alone is insufficient for determining word origins and highlights the importance of etymological evidence in morphological analysis. The findings of this research enhance understanding of the fields of lexicology and semantics in Indonesian, especially concerning the formation and use of spiritually significant verbs.

By incorporating elements such as local wisdom, cultural preservation, and the creative economy, the study shows that gamelan performances serve not only as entertainment but also as a means to introduce and preserve local traditions for visitors. Using a qualitative approach, data was collected through interviews with gamelan musicians, and tourists, along with direct observations at various cultural events. The results indicate that tourists' involvement in gamelan experiences enhances their understanding of Balinese culture and strengthens the values of cultural preservation.

Abstract

This study investigates the effectiveness of using English as the sole medium of instruction in teaching English to non-native speakers. The main goal is to evaluate how this method improves language proficiency, particularly in terms of fluency, comprehension, and confidence. The study adopts a qualitative approach, utilizing observations and interviews with both teachers and students from secondary schools that implement English-only instruction. Data were collected over a six-month period, followed by thematic analysis to uncover the key advantages and challenges of this teaching approach. Findings reveal that students exposed to exclusive English instruction demonstrate better fluency and listening comprehension compared to their peers in bilingual learning environments. Moreover, increased interaction between teachers and students in English was observed, creating a more immersive and engaging learning experience. Despite these benefits, the study also identified challenges, such as initial student discomfort and difficulties in grasping complex instructions. In conclusion, while teaching English exclusively in English is an effective strategy for enhancing language acquisition, it requires thoughtful support to accommodate varying levels of student proficiency. Future studies could explore the lasting effects of this method on students' academic performance.
