Abstract

The study focuses on the purposes and ramifications of reference markers (it, this, and that) for teaching English in educational situations by analyzing their usage in 10 articles from Newsweek and Tempo News. The study examined the ways in which these indicators support textual coherence in professional writing using a qualitative research approach and content analysis. The information came from eleven pieces that were published for Tempo News and Newsweek. According to the results, reference markers had a less substantial role in the texts under analysis than anticipated; Newsweek had more occurrences of reference markers than Tempo News. This disparity shows that reference markers may be used differently based on target audience, writing style, and cultural norms. The study also raises the possibility of a disconnect between theoretical knowledge and real-world text application. In order to fill these gaps, teachers should enhance their understanding of successful teaching and learning reference marker tactics by incorporating real materials into their lessons and assessing students' competency levels.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze locutionary speech acts used in the Twitter account @Cursedkidd using a pragmatic approach and qualitative methods. Locutionary speech acts are understood as literal utterances that function to convey information directly in communication interactions. This study explores the forms of locutionary speech acts such as directives, declaratives, interrogatives, imperatives, and expressives, and how these forms are used to build public discourse through Twitter social media. Data were collected through observation of tweets and replies from the @Cursedkidd account, then analyzed using listening techniques and discourse analysis methods. The results showed that the dominant locutionary forms were directives (40%), followed by declaratives (32%), interrogatives and imperatives each (10%), and expressives (8%). These findings indicate that Twitter as a social media creates an interactive and dynamic communication space, where concise language styles, symbols, and popular cultural elements such as slang are used strategically to influence, express emotions, and build social relationships. This study emphasizes the importance of understanding social and cultural contexts in interpreting literal meanings and interactions in digital media.

Abstract

The importance of collaborative learning in higher education cannot be overlooked, as it plays a crucial role in enhancing student engagement, academic achievement, and collaborative skills. Based on existing literature, collaborative learning has increasingly been recognized as an effective pedagogical approach in higher education contexts. This study conducts a comprehensive bibliometric analysis to examine the development, structure, and research trends of collaborative learning in higher education over the period 2014–2023. The dataset was retrieved from the Scopus database and consists of peer-reviewed publications focusing on collaborative learning within higher education settings. The bibliometric analysis reveals several key findings, including a steady growth in publication output, with a significant increase observed after 2020 and the highest number of publications recorded in 2023. The results also indicate that research productivity is concentrated among a limited number of prolific authors and institutions, while the majority of authors contributed only a single publication. In addition, a small number of highly cited articles exert substantial influence on the field, particularly those published in high-impact educational technology journals. The dominance of Social Sciences and Computer Science as subject areas highlights the interdisciplinary nature of collaborative learning research, emphasizing both pedagogical and technological perspectives. Overall, this study provides a comprehensive overview of the scientific landscape of collaborative learning in higher education, maps its intellectual structure, and offers insights into future research directions in this field.
