Abstract

Semiotics in general is a sign, symbol, and meaning that exists in our daily lives. Especially in gestures which are also related to gestures and semiotics. Gestures are nonverbal movements with the aim of communicating. The bond between semiotics and gestures here is to be able to understand the meaning of these nonverbal movements so that communication can be smoother. This research uses Mcneill's theory (2005) to find out what types of gestures will be in the nonverbal scenes in the movie “The Silence”. And also this research uses the triadic triangle theory in Charles Sanders Peirce's theory to determine the meaning or meaning of the movements that appear in the scene in the movie. This analysis aims to know more about gestures in the semiotic approach. This research uses descriptive qualitative with Visual Research Method or VRM as a supporting method. According to the results of the analysis, researchers found several types of gestures from 13 Iconic, 4 Metaphoric, 10 Deictic, and 2 for Beat data. There are 28 data observed, we concluded that gestures are very important for our daily lives, because the feelings that come out of body movements never lie. Gestures can also complement verbal communication, and for the communication of people who use sign language. We also concluded that gestures in everyday life found in the movie “The Silence” have no differences in our daily gestures in communicating in Indonesian and American culture.

Abstract

This study explores how hyperbolic expressions in the lyrics of Radiohead’s OK Computer represent depression and influence listeners' perceptions of mental health. Using psychological theories from Edward Bibring and Sigmund Freud, alongside Hans Georg Gadamer’s hermeneutic approach, the research examines how exaggerated phrases intensify themes of overwhelming mental struggle, invasive thoughts, despair, and alienation. These hyperbolic expressions vividly portray the emotional chaos and isolation of depression, making it more relatable for listeners. The findings show that these expressions evoke strong emotional responses, deepening empathy and shaping listeners' understanding of depression. This study highlights the role of music in influencing public perceptions of mental health.

Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengeksplorasi implementasi Learning-Oriented Assessment (LOA) dalam pengajaran Bahasa Inggris sebagai bahasa asing (EFL) pada transisi Kurikulum 2013 (K-13) menuju Kurikulum Merdeka di Indonesia. Tujuan utama penelitian ini adalah untuk memahami bagaimana filosofi penilaian dalam pendidikan Indonesia telah bergeser dan bagaimana prinsip-prinsip LOA diterapkan oleh para guru EFL di Kolaka, Sulawesi Tenggara. Penelitian ini menggunakan desain studi kasus kualitatif dengan melibatkan guru EFL dari tiga SMP negeri di Kolaka yang aktif menerapkan Kurikulum Merdeka. Metode pengumpulan data meliputi wawancara semi-terstruktur, observasi kelas, dan analisis dokumen. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan adanya pergeseran filosofi penilaian yang signifikan dari penilaian sumatif dan berbasis hasil di K-13 menuju penilaian formatif, diagnostik, dan autentik di Kurikulum Merdeka. Meskipun para guru memahami prinsip dasar LOA, implementasi yang konsisten masih terbatas, terutama dalam aspek penilaian sebagai pembelajaran (assessment as learning). Penggunaan CEFR (Common European Framework of Reference) dalam penilaian juga teridentifikasi, meskipun penerapannya belum optimal. Kesimpulan penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa meskipun terdapat perubahan positif dalam praktik penilaian, masih ada tantangan besar dalam pelaksanaan LOA secara menyeluruh dan integrasi penuh dengan CEFR dalam konteks pendidikan EFL di Indonesia.

Abstract

The introduction chapter is a critical hurdle for graduate students in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) contexts. It functions as a persuasive overture that must establish significance, delineate a clear scholarly gap, and articulate the study's purpose. This article provides a pedagogical framework for students and supervisors on constructing a high-quality research introduction. Drawing on genre analysis, specifically Swales’s Create a Research Space (CARS) model, the guide deconstructs the essential rhetorical moves for a compelling argument. Through a comparative analysis of strong and weak examples, it illustrates common pitfalls and effective strategies. The core of the article discusses the unique challenges faced by EFL scholars in contexts like Indonesia, proposing a scaffolded pedagogical model to improve research writing instruction. The aim is to equip emerging scholars with the conceptual tools and practical strategies to architect an introduction that meets the rigorous standards of international academic discourse.

Abstract

This study examines students' perceptions of content differentiation in teaching descriptive text at Negeri 1 Gowa High School. The study involved students of class X.2 with a qualitative approach through interviews, and observations. The results show that students generally perceive differentiated content positively. They believe that the use of visual media such as videos and images helps them better understand descriptive text. Gradually increasing the level of difficulty makes them feel more confident and less overwhelmed. Students also feel more motivated when the topics are interesting and delivered through interactive methods such as games, group discussions, and multimedia. Many students expressed their hope that teachers will continue to implement such engaging and personalized learning approaches in the future. For future research, it is recommended to examine the implementation or effectiveness of content differentiation in descriptive text materials and use contextual learning methods to increase students' understanding, enthusiasm and comfort in learning.

Abstract

The study aimed to discover (1) The socio-afffective strategies students use in learning speaking skills. (2) How students applied the socio-affective strategies in learning speaking skills. This study is a type of qualitative research that uses qualitative descriptive methods to collect the data. Interviews and documentation were used as the instruments to collect the data. Five students were selected as participants by using a purposive random sampling technique. This study showed that the students used all types of socio-affective strategies: asking questions, cooperating with others, lowering anxiety, self-reinforcement, self-talk, taking someone’ temperature, empathizing with others, and social-mediating. Eventually, among those socio-affective strategies, the students frequently ask questions, cooperate with others, and engage in self-talk. The researcher concluded that the socio-affective strategies are helpful for them to interact with teachers and friends, build self-confidence, and enhance their knowledge of English, especially in speaking skills.Keywords: Socio-Affective Strategies and Speaking Skills.

Abstract

This study investigates how teachers’ verbal reinforcement influences students’ motivation to learn English at SMPN 40 Makassar. Employing a descriptive qualitative design, data were gathered through six classroom observations, semi-structured interviews with three English teachers and seven eighth-grade students, and documentation. The findings reveal that verbal reinforcement expressed through praise, affirmation, positive feedback, and personalization significantly enhances students’ motivation, confidence, and participation. Teachers’ consistent and context-sensitive use of encouraging language reduced anxiety, promoted active engagement, and fostered long-term interest in English learning. Students reported feeling recognized and supported when their efforts were acknowledged verbally, even in cases of partial or incorrect responses. The study concludes that authentic verbal reinforcement not only strengthens students’ intrinsic motivation but also functions as an affective pedagogical strategy that nurtures emotional connection and communicative confidence in EFL classrooms. Theoretically, the study contributes to understanding how verbal reinforcement, viewed through Self-Determination and Growth Mindset frameworks, operates as a motivational mechanism within teacher-student interactions.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the types, perceptions, and how self-regulated learning influences students' motivation when learning vocabulary. The researcher used a qualitative descriptive method to achieve the research objectives. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews. Participants in this study were twelve English Language Education students in the 2023/2024 academic year, who were selected purposively. Based on the results of the study, there are seven forms of self-regulated learning that students use in learning: learning from English podcasts on YouTube, learning from watching gaming YouTube content, learning from English songs, learning from watching English films, learning from OME TV, learning by posting vocabulary lists in easily visible places, and learn by English Message. Students also have various perceptions about self-regulated learning that help maintain their motivation when learning vocabulary, namely because they feel the positive impact of implementing self-regulated learning, remember their learning process, SRL makes their learning more enjoyable, they are motivated because their learning strategies are the same as their hobbies, and they are motivated because the strategies are easy to use. So, it can be concluded that self-regulated learning acts as an effective bridge between personal interests and academic goals, changing vocabulary learning from a passive effort into an active, autonomous, sustainable, and highly motivating process.

Abstract

Differentiated Instruction is regarded as an essential approach in modern education because it allows teachers to design learning activities that align with students’ varying abilities, interests, and learning styles, resulting in a more inclusive and meaningful learning process. However, although several studies have examined its implementation, research focusing on students’ perceptions of Differentiated Instruction at the vocational high school level remains limited. This study aims to investigate students’ perceptions of the implementation of Differentiated Instruction, particularly in relation to learning achievement, collaboration, and motivation. This research employed a descriptive quantitative design involving 114 students at SMK 1 Gowa. Data were collected using a questionnaire that had been tested for validity and reliability, and were analyzed descriptively using SPSS. The findings indicate that 66.7% of students’ perceptions in the achievement aspect fall into the Very Positive category. Subsequently, 61.4% of students’ perceptions in the collaboration aspect are in the Positive category, and 60.3% of students’ perceptions in the motivation aspect also fall into the Positive category.

Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis tantangan dan strategi komunikasi antarbudaya pada mahasiswa perguruan tinggi di Indonesia dalam era globalisasi. Penelitian ini dilandasi oleh meningkatnya intensitas interaksi lintas budaya di lingkungan pendidikan tinggi, yang menuntut mahasiswa untuk mengembangkan kompetensi komunikasi antarbudaya yang adaptif dan reflektif. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan deskriptif kualitatif dengan melibatkan 20 partisipan dari berbagai program studi yang memiliki pengalaman komunikasi antarbudaya melalui kegiatan pertukaran mahasiswa, kolaborasi internasional, maupun aktivitas akademik lintas budaya. Pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui wawancara semi-terstruktur, observasi, serta analisis dokumen reflektif. Data yang diperoleh dianalisis menggunakan teknik analisis tematik. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan tiga tema utama, yaitu: (1) hambatan bahasa yang meliputi keterbatasan kosakata, perbedaan aksen, serta kesulitan dalam memahami makna pragmatik; (2) adaptasi budaya yang mencakup tahapan stres, penyesuaian, dan perkembangan identitas multikultural; serta (3) strategi komunikasi yang meliputi upaya klarifikasi, penyesuaian nonverbal, dan empati budaya guna menjaga efektivitas interaksi. Temuan penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa keberhasilan komunikasi antarbudaya tidak hanya bergantung pada kemampuan linguistik, tetapi juga pada kesadaran budaya, refleksi diri, dan kemampuan adaptasi sosial. Oleh karena itu, penelitian ini mengimplikasikan pentingnya integrasi kompetensi antarbudaya ke dalam kurikulum pendidikan tinggi melalui pembelajaran berbasis pengalaman, kolaborasi internasional, dan refleksi antarbudaya. Dengan demikian, mahasiswa dapat meningkatkan kesadaran global, empati antarbudaya, serta kemampuan berkomunikasi secara efektif dalam lingkungan multikultural yang beragam.
