Abstract

This study examines the linguistic strategies employed in Instagram skincare advertisements and their role in constructing persuasive messages and reinforcing dominant beauty ideologies. The study adopts a qualitative method through Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA), utilizing Fairclough’s three-dimensional framework: textual analysis, discursive practice, and social practice. Data were collected purposively from five Instagram posts by prominent skincare brands, selected based on relevance and audience engagement. The analysis reveals the use of imperatives, emotive vocabulary, structured narratives, and authoritative tone to build trust, appeal to emotions, and promote aspirational beauty ideals. These linguistic choices contribute to a discourse that equates beauty with confidence, self-worth, and social acceptance. The study identifies how these advertisements implicitly link consumption with self-improvement, positioning skincare not merely as a product but as a lifestyle necessity. The findings suggest that skincare advertisements on Instagram function not only as marketing tools but also as ideological texts that shape consumer identity and perpetuate societal norms regarding beauty and self-care. This study contributes to the growing body of literature on discourse and digital media by highlighting the intersection of language, ideology, and consumer culture in online marketing practices.

Abstract

This study aims to explore teachers’ perceptions of students’ speaking anxiety problems at SMKN 4 Barru and the strategies used to address them. A descriptive qualitative research design was employed in this study. The data were collected through interviews with English teachers and analyzed thematically. The findings reveal that students’ speaking anxiety is caused by several factors, including lack of confidence, limited knowledge of speaking topics, fear of negative judgment from peers, and lack of experience in speaking in public. The teacher addresses these problems through three main stages: reception, understanding, and evaluation. In the reception stage, the teacher applies a supportive approach by motivating students and starting speaking activities with simple and familiar topics. In the understanding stage, the teacher identifies psychological and social factors that contribute to students’ anxiety. In the evaluation stage, relaxation techniques such as slow breathing and focusing strategies are used to help students manage anxiety and maintain classroom interaction. The study concludes that teachers’ awareness of students’ emotional conditions and the use of appropriate strategies play an important role in reducing students’ speaking anxiety and encouraging active participation in English speaking activities.
