Abstract

This research is based on the understanding that difficulty speaking English as a foreign language is a complex phenomenon involving various factors. This study aims to identify the speaking difficulties faced by eighth-grade students at MTsN 1 Mataram and to analyze the strategies used by English teachers to overcome those difficulties. This research employed a qualitative descriptive approach with a case study design. The participants consisted of two English teachers and six eighth-grade students selected through purposive sampling. The data were collected through classroom observations and semi-structured interviews. The findings revealed that students experienced several speaking difficulties, namely limited vocabulary, poor grammar knowledge, and pronunciation challenges. Among these difficulties, limited vocabulary was identified as the most dominant factor affecting students’ speaking performance. To overcome these problems, teachers implemented various strategies and role-play was found to be the most effective in overcoming students’ speaking difficulties. Role-play provided students with opportunities to practice vocabulary, sentence construction, and pronunciation in meaningful contexts while increasing their confidence and participation. Other strategies, such as small group discussions, storytelling, and games, also supported students’ speaking development. Overall, the study indicates that role-play is the most effective strategy in addressing students’ speaking difficulties. This study reinforces previous findings that limited vocabulary is a major obstacle in learning to speak English in EFL contexts at the junior secondary level. This finding implies that teaching interventions need to prioritize vocabulary enrichment as a foundation before expecting students to be able to produce fluent and accurate speech.

Abstract

This study aims to analyse the register used by fashion marketers in social media communication by examining its linguistic characteristics and communicative functions. The study employs a descriptive qualitative approach grounded in the framework of Systemic Functional Linguistics, particularly the concept of register, which comprises field, tenor, and mode. The research data consist of promotional texts in the form of captions and posts taken from fashion marketers’ social media accounts selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through documentation techniques, while data analysis involved several stages, including data reduction, classification based on the elements of field, tenor, and mode, and interpretation of language functions. The data were analyzed using qualitative thematic analysis to identify patterns of register and communication styles in fashion marketers’ social media content. The analysis began with organizing and reviewing the questionnaire responses and observational data, followed by coding linguistic features such as lexical choices, tone, code-switching, and register elements (field, tenor, and mode). The findings reveal that the register used by fashion marketers is predominantly persuasive and interpersonal, characterized by the use of informal vocabulary, evaluative adjectives, and invitational sentence structures. In terms of field, language is employed to promote fashion products and lifestyles; in terms of tenor, the relationship constructed between marketers and audiences is familiar and egalitarian; meanwhile, in terms of mode, communication is realized in written form with semi-oral characteristics. This study contributes to the field of applied linguistics, particularly to register analysis in the context of digital marketing communications.

Abstract

Traditional healing practices using mantras are still preserved by the Sasak people in Benteng Selatan Village, North Lendang Nangka, East Lombok. This study aims to describe the form, meaning, and function of Sasak healing mantras in traditional healing practices using a semantic theory approach. The method used is descriptive qualitative. Data collection techniques include in-depth interviews with three female traditional healers (belian), audio recordings of mantra chanting, field notes, and transcription. Data analysis techniques are carried out through four stages: identification of linguistic units in mantras, classification based on form, meaning, and function, description of semantic and stylistic features, and explanation using Émile Durkheim's functionalism theory. The results show that there are eight healing mantras that are still used to treat various diseases such as melihatk (disturbed spirits), kotong (burns/inflammation), stomach aches, broken bones, wounds, scorpion stings, crying babies, and childbirth. Structurally, these mantras are in the form of short lines (3–5 lines), have rhythmic patterns, repetition, and metaphors, and generally begin with Bismillahirrahmanirrahim. In terms of meaning, these mantras contain lexical and contextual meanings that symbolize purification, protection, exorcism of evil spirits, and restoration of physical and spiritual balance. Functionally, these mantras play a role in three aspects: spiritual (communication with divine powers), social (strengthening relationships between community members), and psychological (providing positive suggestions, calmness, and hope for healing). The implications of this research indicate that Sasak healing mantras are not merely traditional therapeutic tools, but also function as a medium for preserving local language, culture, and identity. This research contributes to the academic documentation of local knowledge and enriches linguistic studies, particularly in the fields of semantics and ethnolinguistics in the context of Indonesian culture.

Abstract

This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of using Peppa Pig cartoon in enhancing vocabulary mastery among seventh-grade students of SMP Negeri 21 Mataram. A quasi-experimental design with non-equivalent control groups was employed involving 28 students divided into experimental (n=14) and control (n=14) groups. The intervention consisted of four 40-minute sessions over two weeks. Data were collected through pre-test and post-test instruments measuring receptive vocabulary knowledge of verbs and adjectives. Data were normally distributed and homogeneous. The experimental group received instruction using Peppa Pig episodes, while the control group was taught using traditional methods. Descriptive analysis showed that the experimental group's mean score increased from 57.50 (pre-test) to 67.00 (post-test), whereas the control group's mean slightly decreased from 54.29 to 52.86. The independent sample t-test revealed a statistically significant difference between the two groups (t (26) = -2.281, p = 0.031, p < 0.05) with a large effect size (Cohen's d = 0.86). The null hypothesis was rejected, and the alternative hypothesis was accepted. Unlike previous studies focusing on general cartoons or young children, this research specifically investigates Peppa Pig as a targeted pedagogical tool for early adolescents in a quasi-experimental controlled setting. The Peppa Pig cartoon is effective in enhancing vocabulary mastery among seventh-grade students and can be integrated into English language instruction as an engaging, multimodal learning medium.
