Abstract

As a popular and important field in pragmatic study, deixis has been largely investigated by many researchers across disciplines and in various types of discourse. However, its use in Islamic discourse focusing on comparative religion is rarely explored. Therefore, this study examined deictic expressions used in Islamic public oration by a famous scholar. Employing a descriptive qualitative method, it aims to find out the main types of deixis, focusing on the analysis of the frequency, what they refer to, & the functions. The data were gained from a corpus of three recorded preaching sessions available online on YouTube. The findings showed that personal deixis becomes the most dominant type, followed by spatial and temporal deixis. Personal deixis mainly worked to refer to the addressee & to engage the addressee in the discourse. It also referred to the preacher as a form of revealing his identity. Then, spatial deixis functioned as a way to focus the talk to particular things and to refer to preceding or following ideas or acts. In addition, temporal deixis was primarily used to refer to present times, showing the high relevance of the discourse with current moments. This paper is hoped to provide insights regarding how deixis serves various crucial functions in preaching and how it facilitates the speaker to persuade the addressee to the explanations given. Hence, the results of this study could inform those who aspire to be a better speaker by practicing using deictic expressions more properly to sound more convincing.

Abstract

Teachers, as professional educators, are supposed to keep improving their ability in the pedagogical field. The teacher development program is one of the best ways for teachers to maintain and enhance their professionalism. Motivation has become an issue that is considered crucial to teachers' involvement in teacher development programs (TPD). However, investigating novice and experienced EFL teachers' motivation in pursuing their master's degree as a form of development activity is underexplored. This research article aims to investigate novice and experienced English teachers' voices regarding their motivation in pursuing a master's degree at a postgraduate program in one of the state universities in Bandung and the comparison between the teachers in regard to their motivation. This study employed a qualitative research approach guided by a case study design with 2 novice English teachers and 3 experienced English teachers who are currently studying at a postgraduate program as the respondents. The instrument used in this study was an interview with 9 questions adapted from a conceptual framework proposed by Alghamdi (2020). The findings revealed that the EFL teachers have several types of factors in their motivation to pursue their higher education. The factors are primarily grouped into incentive and reward factors, school factors, CPD program factors, and within-teacher factors. In comparison, all respondents have quite similar motivations with no significant difference. However, one difference was found in the reward factor in which the role of the family is more motivating in novice teachers than inexperienced teachers.
