Abstract

This study explores the expression of impoliteness strategies by Indonesian male and female netizens in the context of the Vadel issue on Instagram. Utilizing a qualitative descriptive method, the analysis focuses on comments gathered from the platform, applying Culpeper’s (1996) framework of impoliteness strategies. The findings reveal significant gender-based differences in how impoliteness is expressed. Female commenters often employed bald-on-record and negative impoliteness strategies, reflecting a tendency toward subtle, passive-aggressive communication. In contrast, male commenters frequently utilized positive impoliteness and sarcasm, showcasing a more overtly confrontational style. Despite these differences, both genders shared a preference for direct expressions of hostility, as withhold politeness was notably absent. These results contribute to a deeper understanding of gender dynamics in digital interactions, emphasizing the diverse ways impoliteness manifests in social media discourse.

Abstract

The study is very important because when listening to songs, most people only focus on the music rather than the lyrics without knowing the meaning of the song. This study aims to find out the types of figurative language in “Short n Sweet” song album by Sabrina Carpenter and  how is the figurative language realized in the song album. This research used mix-method research namely quantitative and qualitative. This study used Perrine (1992) theory which classified figurative language into 12 types. However, this research only focuses into 6 types of figurative language with the research results of 97 data. There are Metaphor (16), Simile (14), Personification (9), Symbol (19), Hyperbole (23), and Irony (16). The realization is that there are six types of  figurative language, namely metaphors (comparing two different ideas, namely intelligence with sharpest tools and describing a partner with bee). Simile (make a direct comparison using the term "like"). Personification (inanimate objects namely fan and car are given human characteristics or talents). Symbol (use elements of numbers and drink brands with meanings that are different from their literal meanings). Hyperbole (use clearly exaggerated statements to emphasize certain feelings and situations). Irony (there is a mismatch between what is said or expected and the truth or deepest feelings behind the statement). This study is very important for english department and literature students, teacher, lecturer, and other researchers because it will teach them how to evaluate and analyze figurative language both in songs and in other media.

Abstract

This research use code-switching and mixing, Merry Riana explores this in the audio episode "Curhat Maudy Ayunda Tentang Perempuan, Jesse Choi, dan Krisis Identitas." This podcast episode examines the obstacles of defining one's identity and surviving life. It talks about learning overseas, taking a break from a demanding work, and changes in lifestyle following marriage to Jesse Choi. To achieve this, the authors use a qualitative descriptive approach that is based on Poplack and Muysken's theories. Code mixing and code switching classifications, such as intra-sentential, tag, and inter-sentential switching, as well as insertion, alternation, and congruent lexicalization code-mixing, are then used to classify the data. The total number of data points from this episode was 100. The outcomes are as follows: The 87 code-mixing data consist of 84 (97%) insertion data, 1 (1%) congruent lexicalization data, and 2 (2%) alternation data. Additionally, only 13 code-switching data (100%) intersentential data were discovered. The podcast did not contain any instances of intrasentential or tag-switching. This study broadens our understanding of code-mixing and code-switching and emphasizes how crucial it is to examine contemporary media in order to understand how linguistic practices are evolving.

Abstract

This research is expected to broaden students' perspectives through humor, specifically "puns" or "one-liners." The interpretation of ESL students towards English jokes will be analyzed to understand their comprehension of "wordplay." The objectives of the study are to determine how ESL students interpret puns and to identify the difficulties arising from misinterpretations of puns. This study employs a qualitative descriptive approach. Questionnaires and interviews are used to help understand linguistic difficulties and cultural knowledge, exploring students' cultural understanding by exposing them to the use of wordplay in English.The novelty of this research lies in analyzing puns from the perspective of ESL students in North Sumatra, comprising Batak and Nias ethnic students. The findings indicate that students' interpretations of puns show that most can understand the humor if their vocabulary is strong. They can interpret homonyms effectively. Cultural knowledge plays a crucial role; the broader their experiences in the outside world, the better they can appreciate pun humor. Good metacognitive skills also aid students in interpreting pun humor, evident in how they attempt to understand wordplay. Some students can "understand" the jokes due to their familiarity with the words through prior experiences.The researcher hopes that students' vocabulary can be enhanced so they grasp double meanings in humor better. Students are encouraged to expand their cultural knowledge and metacognitive skills by exposing themselves more to foreign cultures through reading, listening to news, social media, or new experiences.

Abstract

In recent years, there has been an increased interest in the application of artificial intelligence (AI), namely ChatGPT, for educational purposes. However, EFL students' insights of the ethical use of using ChatGPT in academic writing remain unexplored. The purpose of this study is to reveal the EFL students' perspectives on the ethical use of Chat GPT in academic writing. Data were obtained from 54 EFL students who have taken academic writing course by using a Likert Scale questionnaire, with a focus on ethical issues such as plagiarism, academic integrity, over-reliance on ChatGPT, data biases, and unclear guidelines. The findings show that students significantly concerns about the ethical use of ChatGPT, though a small number remain unaware of these issues. The study recommends incorporating ethical education regarding ChatGPT into academic curricula. Lecturers or teachers should focus on helping students understand the ethical challenges related to the application of ChatGPT, such as plagiarism and bias. Additionally, clear guidelines for ChatGPT use in academic writing should be established to promote academic integrity and responsible ChatGPT use.

Abstract

This research aims to examine the challenges faced by Indonesian EFL students in academic writing, specifically the errors they made while writing scholarship application essays. The study focused on identifying syntactical and morphological errors and understanding their sources and reasons. The data consisted of 20 essays from third-semester students in an academic writing course at a private Indonesian university. Two English language lecturers reviewed the essays twice to identify the errors. The findings revealed that syntactic errors were the most common, with 132 instances (61.69%), followed by punctuation and capitalization errors with 50 instances (23.37%), and morphological errors were the least frequent with 32 instances (14.94%). Interlingual, or native language interference, was found to be the primary source of these errors. The main factor of making errors is the lack of previous experience and knowledge about the conventions of academic writing and the expectations of the institution they are studying at. This study offers teaching recommendations for EFL teachers, emphasizing the importance of considering the impact of learners' native language besides providing appropriate grammar instruction as the key to effective teaching for ESL teachers.
