Abstract

This study aims to investigate the contribution of adaptive instructional design in enhancing students’ self-confidence in speaking activities at the junior high school level in Bengkalis Regency, Indonesia. Self-confidence is a key psychological factor that influences students’ willingness to actively participate in oral communication. The research employed a quasi-experimental design involving two groups: an experimental group (taught with adaptive instructional strategies) and a control group (taught using conventional methods). A validated self-confidence questionnaire was administered as the main instrument, and data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and an independent sample t-test. The results revealed that the experimental group achieved a higher mean score (M = 78.65, SD = 6.42) compared to the control group (M = 70.12, SD = 7.11), with a statistically significant difference (t(58) = 3.47, p < 0.01). These findings highlight that adaptive instructional design—when tailored to students’ learning needs and characteristics—plays a crucial role in fostering psychological readiness and communicative competence. This study suggests that adaptive learning strategies can be effectively integrated into language teaching to create a supportive and engaging environment for students.

Abstract

This research examines the presence and function of vague language in the political speeches of Joko Widodo, with a focus on its implications for critical thinking and digital literacy. Vague language, including non-specific references, generalizations, and implicit meanings, is a common feature of political rhetoric that can obscure meaning and influence interpretation. The study uses a qualitative content analysis approach to identify the linguistic forms and rhetorical strategies used in selected speeches. Findings indicate that vagueness is employed to maintain flexibility in meaning, appeal to a broad audience, and avoid direct claims that may be politically sensitive. These rhetorical choices present both challenges and opportunities for listeners and readers in digital environments, where information is rapidly disseminated and consumed. By analysing these features in educational settings, students can develop critical thinking skills necessary to decode political texts, evaluate credibility, and make informed judgments. This study argues for the integration of linguistic and rhetorical awareness into digital literacy programs to cultivate more discerning and informed citizens in the digital era.
