Abstract

Many students struggle to identify pronouns in sentences, a critical aspect of English grammar necessary for constructing clear and coherent communication. Pronouns play a vital role in sentence structure by replacing nouns to avoid redundancy, yet their correct usage poses challenges for learners. This study investigates the proficiency of tenth-grade students at SMA Swasta Cerdas Bangsa in identifying pronouns in English sentences and explores the specific difficulties they face. The research aimed to evaluate students' ability to recognize different types of pronouns and pinpoint areas requiring instructional support. Adopting a case study methodology, the study collected data from 30 students in class X.1 through a 30-item test consisting of multiple-choice and fill-in-the-blank questions. Results showed that only 41% of the students correctly identified pronouns, with common challenges including confusion in pronoun selection and insufficient understanding of pronoun usage. These findings highlight the need for targeted teaching strategies, such as explicit grammar instruction and contextualized exercises, to enhance students' grammatical competence and overall language proficiency.

Abstract

This study examines the role of digital linguistics—emoji use, code-switching, and hashtags—in shaping employee engagement within a private logistics company in Medan, Indonesia. Using a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through semi-structured interviews with employees actively engaged in internal digital communication, and were analyzed thematically. Findings indicate that emojis help soften messages, reduce tension, and foster warmth in workplace interactions. Code-switching between Indonesian, English, and local dialects functions as a social adaptation strategy and professional identity marker. Hashtags, though less frequent, act as symbolic tools for uniting teams, reinforcing collective identity, and emphasizing project goals. Together, these practices enrich digital communication and support the dimensions of vigor, dedication, and absorption in employee engagement. Grounded in Social Exchange Theory (SET) and Media Richness Theory (MRT), this research underscores digital linguistics as a strategic HRM tool for enhancing engagement, while highlighting organizational reputation and governance as crucial supporting factors.

Abstract

Language is more than a communication tool; it embodies cultural identity, social hierarchy, and shared values. In the Batu Bara Malay community, address systems function as structured linguistic expressions of age, rank, kinship, and familiarity, with respect and politeness being integral to interpersonal interactions—especially in addressing elders or individuals of higher status. However, the advent of globalization and social media has introduced new modes of communication among the younger generation, creating tension between traditional norms and emerging language practices. This study investigates the address systems and politeness strategies in the Batu Bara Malay community, focusing on how these are used and transformed in social interaction. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach and linguistic ethnography, data were gathered through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and documentation involving native speakers across varying ages and social strata. The findings highlight the complex variety of address terms and politeness strategies that reflect deep-rooted cultural values and social order. Despite generational shifts, the community continues to uphold linguistic traditions as a means of preserving cultural identity and maintaining social cohesion.

Abstract

Fenomena phubbing atau perilaku tidak memperhatikan orang di sekelilingnya akibat terlalu terpusat pada penggunaan ponsel menjadi permasalahan sosial yang kian mengkhawatirkan di kalangan remaja. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menelaah dampak phubbing terhadap perilaku sosial dan kondisi psikologis remaja melalui metode studi pustaka dengan pendekatan deskriptif kualitatif. Data dikumpulkan dari beragam sumber jurnal ilmiah, baik nasional maupun internasional yang relevan dengan topik phubbing, interaksi sosial, dan kesehatan mental remaja. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahwa phubbing berpengaruh negatif terhadap empati, kedekatan emosional, serta kualitas komunikasi antarindividu. Dari sisi psikologis, perilaku ini memicu rasa kesepian, kecemasan, depresi, dan ketergantungan terhadap validasi digital. Faktor penyebab utama meliputi kecanduan smartphone, penggunaan media sosial berlebihan, rendahnya kontrol diri, serta lemahnya pengawasan lingkungan keluarga dan sekolah. Upaya pencegahan dapat dilakukan melalui literasi digital, konseling kelompok dengan teknik behavior contract, serta pembentukan lingkungan sosial yang sehat dan seimbang. Penelitian ini menegaskan bahwa peningkatan kontrol diri dan interaksi sosial berperan penting dalam menekan perilaku phubbing. Dengan demikian, kesadaran digital, peran orang tua, guru, dan konselor menjadi elemen kunci untuk menciptakan keseimbangan antara kehidupan digital dan interaksi sosial remaja.
