Abstract

The Covid-19 pandemic has changed the educational landscape around the world. In this era, higher education institutes offer fully online teaching and learning delivery as an alternative implementation. During the transition period, faculty and students experimented extensively to adapt to the new norms of education. This paper aims to reveal the positive academic experiences of Arabic language teachers during the past semester and their challenges. Belief in one's ability and readiness to face the coming day is essential for the following action plan by those in charge. It becomes an indicator for individuals to equip themselves and not be adequate with existing skills. Data were obtained through a questionnaire instrument to 12 respondents of Arabic language instructors and then analyzed based on the Fuzzy Delphi method. The study lists five (5) positive experiences and three (3) most fundamental challenges of online teaching. Belief in the readiness of implementing online teaching for the coming semester was also expressed. The actual situation of the teaching staff is an essential indicator in evaluating the effectiveness and quality of delivery during the Covid-19 pandemic. The educational landscape is far from changing and will never return to how it was before.

Abstract

Prabowo Subianto is one of the 2024 presidential candidates participating in the Indonesian presidential election debate organized by the General Elections Commission (KPU). This debate features polite and non-offensive language, reflecting the use of euphemisms. This research aims to uncover the hidden practices in the use of euphemisms that Prabowo Subianto applied during the debate. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed, with the data consisting of orthographic transcriptions of his utterances. The data were collected through the observation method, advanced note-taking techniques, and documentation. The analysis was conducted using Content Analysis with Krippendorff's framework, which includes sampling, recording, and context units. The findings reveal ten types of euphemisms used by Prabowo Subianto, with loanwords being the most dominant, followed by hedges, overstatements, litotes, periphrasis, metaphors, downtoners, underspecification, apologetic expressions, and understatements. The study also identified eight main functions of euphemisms, and the most dominant function is being self-promotion, followed by protecting uncertain statements, as well as reducing hostility. This research enriches linguistic studies, particularly in the field of pragmatics, by demonstrating how various types of euphemisms are used in political communication.
