Abstract

This research was purposely conducted to describe the Rhetorical Structures of Native English in the writing introduction section of research articles. The data was chosen from the research article published by two disciplines of journal which is Journal of Pragmatics(JOP) and Journal of English for Academic Purposes (JEAP). This present study was conducted to find out whether the introduction section of the selected introduction in both journals follows the fundamental CARS Model by Swales (2004). Ten introductions of research articles from both journals were annotated in this research. Five research publications were deliberately selected from each discipline. The findings indicate that the introduction sections of research articles from two journal disciplines authored by native English speakers predominantly encompass the moves and steps outlined in Swales' (2004) CARS model, with Move 1 and Move 3 regarded as a mandatory move. Meanwhile, Move 2 is regarded as arbitrary. In conclusion, it can be inferred that the utilization of rhetorical patterns is not contingent upon the authors' proficiency in written language; rather, authors must implement rhetorical realizations in composing their introductions.

Abstract

Using Naomi Wolf's idea of power feminism, this study uses a descriptive qualitative methodology. The study centers on a female character's quest for domination in the face of men's powerful predominance. The study's focus is Sweet Avocadoes' English-language digital novel The Alpha's Betrayal in 99 Days, which was released on the iReader platform. This reading and writing app distributes over 600,000 titles to over 70 million active readers in more than 150 countries, including Malaysia and Indonesia.  The purpose of this study is to reveal the forms and functions of power represented through the main female character, Shayna Anderson. The findings indicate that female power in the novel is portrayed through personal charm, physical strength, resilience, and decisiveness. These attributes enable the protagonist to dominate male characters and negotiate an equal gender position. Thus, the novel emphasizes that women can claim authority in patriarchal social relations through a combination of charisma, strength, and courage. In this study, the author also examines the perspective of women in Islamic teachings as a point of comparison. In addition to challenging the presumption that gender equality is associated with patriarchal culture, this discussion attempts to investigate how the idea is positioned inside the Islamic faith. The writer aims to show that through the teachings of the Qur'an, Islam promotes women's rights and equality with men in several spheres of life, in addition to acknowledging their existence. As a result, this section emphasizes the significance of feminist principles found in Qur'anic texts as a basis for creating a more equitable and proportionate understanding of women's roles in Islam.

Abstract

Functional typology focuses on clause structure and argument relations as they contribute to meaning. The purpose of this research is to characterize the Minangkabau language's grammatical relationships and semantic roles of subjects and objects. The study uses a literature-based methodology and a qualitative descriptive method. The data were taken from Minangkabau folktales and consists of 80 basic clauses. In order to ascertain syntactic behavior, the analysis employs subjecthood tests (raising, reflexive control, relativization, and quantifier float) in addition to identifying grammatical relations and semantic roles. The results show that Minangkabau subjects continuously hold the greatest syntactic position, regardless of whether they behave as agents or non-agents. Subjects can appear before the predicate, influence reflexive noun phrases, and be relativized. However, objects are different from subjects. Direct objects function as dative or benefactive semantically, whilst indirect objects function as patient. Grammatical relations and semantic roles interact hierarchically and functionally in phrase structure, as demonstrated by Minangkabau's typological nominative–accusative alignment with a simple S–V–O word order.

Abstract

This community service program aimed to enhance students’ reading interest, imagination, and active engagement in literacy learning through an Interactive Read Aloud program at SDN 10 Kabawetan Kepahiang. The program involved 40 students from grades IV to VI and was implemented through three main stages: preparation, implementation, and evaluation and reflection. The method applied was read-aloud combined with interactive techniques, including questioning, story prediction, creative activities, and story-based quizzes. Data were collected through direct observation, students’ responses during the activities, and their creative outputs, and were analyzed descriptively. The results indicated a significant improvement in students’ reading interest and participation, as reflected in their active involvement in listening, responding, and engaging in discussions. In addition, the program contributed to the development of students’ imagination and creativity, demonstrated through drawing, coloring, and retelling activities. Vocabulary understanding also improved naturally through contextual exposure within the stories without explicit instruction. Furthermore, the use of interactive quizzes increased students’ motivation and enthusiasm throughout the program. In conclusion, the Interactive Read Aloud program proved to be an effective literacy learning strategy that not only improves reading skills but also fosters creativity, confidence, and active student engagement. This program is recommended as an innovative and practical approach for literacy instruction in elementary schools.
