Abstract

Directive speech acts are crucial in effective communication, particularly in educational and cinematic contexts, where language functions are dynamically expressed. However, limited research still explores directive speech acts in movie scripts as authentic materials for language learning. This study aims to analyze directive speech acts in the movie Jumanji: The Next Level by identifying their types, describing how they are actualized, and explaining the meanings behind their use. Searle’s theory of speech acts served as the theoretical foundation. This research employed a descriptive qualitative method. The data were collected through documentation techniques, carried out in the following steps: (1) downloading the movie, (2) watching and understanding it carefully, (3) focusing on the characters’ dialogues, (4) reading and selecting relevant utterances while numbering them, and (5) identifying and classifying the selected dialogues based on the types of directive speech acts. The results show that there are five types of directive speech acts in the movie. From a total of 506 utterances, the researcher identified the following distribution: 247 questioning utterances (48.8%), 192 commanding utterances (38.0%), 35 forbidding utterances (6.9%), 24 requesting utterances (4.7%), and 8 permitting utterances (1.6%). Among these, questioning is the most dominant type. Moreover, the meaning of directive speech acts in Jumanji: The Next Level is strongly influenced by the situational context. The presence of numerous missions to be completed plays a significant role in the frequent use of questioning speech acts, as these situations require information to be obtained. Throughout the dialogues, characters rely on questioning to guide conversations and solve the problems that arise.

Abstract

Bullying merupakan tindakan kekerasan terhadap fisik maupun mental yang dilakukan dengan menyalahgunakan kekuatan dari yang lebih kuat ke yang lemah. Bullying membawa dampak besar terhadap korban yang menyebabkan si korban mengalami trauma, stress, melukai diri sendiri dan tak jarang si korban pada akhirnya bunuh diri karena merasa malu dan dikucilkan oleh lingkungan. Bentuk-bentuk bullying berupa kekerasan fisik maupun verbal, dan cyber bullying yang kerap kali terjadi. Secara tak sadar, sering kita lihat dan dengar physical bullying dan verbal bullying yang dilakukan oleh siswa disekolah dasar. Memukul, menendang, mencakar, menggigit dan aktifitas menyakiti fisik lainnya merupakan bentuk dari perundungan fisik yang dilakukan anak sekolah dasar. Sedangkan untuk verbal bullying, acap kali anak-anak mengolok-olok temannya dengan memanggil nama anak tersebut maupun nama orang tuanya, mencela, berkata kasar merupakan sebagian contoh dari verbal bullying. Sayangnya, kejadian seperti contoh diatas dianggap wajar sebagai kenakalan anak-anak. Berangkat dari fenomena ini, tim pengabdian masyarakat memberikan solusi dengan mengadakan pelatihan untuk meningkatkan kompetensi guru dalam menghadapi dan mengatasi bullying yang terjadi disekolah dengan strategi yang tepat. Solusi dilakukan dengan menggunakan 2 cara, yakni meningkatkan peran guru sebagai komunikator yang baik dengan siswa, sebagai pemberi nasehat, dan pembimbing dalam bersikap dan bertingkah laku bagi siswa. Yang kedua adalah dengan melaksanakan strategi dengan melakukan pembiasaan baik dikelas yang bersifat relijius, membentuk karakter dan kepribadian siswa, dan memberikan art therapy bagi siswa sebagai upaya untuk mengatasi trauma bullying. Dengan pelatihan ini, guru menjadi lebih ‘dewasa’ dan bijak dalam menyikapi bullying, mampu menerapkan solusi dan strategi yang tepat dalam menghadapi bullying dan meminimalisir dampaknya terhadap korban bully

Abstract

The rapid development of technology has significantly impacted the way educators collaborate, providing numerous digital platforms that facilitate sharing ideas, developing plans, and evaluating outcomes. In Indonesia, however, the implementation of collaborative writing (CW) among teachers has received limited attention. This study aims to explore how Google Drive and WhatsApp can be effectively utilized to support collaborative writing among teachers. Google Drive was employed for planning, editing, writing, and revising collaborative papers, while WhatsApp served as a communication tool for interaction, negotiation, confirmation, and decision-making. The paper presents the findings of this collaborative process, focusing on the strategies and outcomes of using these applications in an educational context. The results demonstrate the potential of digital tools to enhance collaborative efforts among teachers, offering a model for improving collaboration in professional learning communities. This paper contributes to the understanding of technology-supported collaborative writing practices, particularly in the context of Indonesian education.

Abstract

Vocabulary mastery is a crucial element of language acquisition, and students' success is significantly influenced by their motivation and the teaching methods used. Traditional approaches often struggle to keep students engaged, which has led to a growing interest in game-based learning strategies. One effective method is "Make a Match," an interactive technique that combines play with educational goals. However, there has been limited research comparing the effectiveness of its manual and digital versions in enhancing vocabulary mastery and learning motivation. This study utilized an experimental design involving two groups of seventh-grade junior high school students. One group received vocabulary instruction through the manual version of Make a Match, while the other group used the digital version. Both groups completed pretests and posttests to assess vocabulary proficiency and filled out a motivation questionnaire. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, paired-sample t-tests, and independent-sample t-tests. The findings indicated that both versions of Make a Match significantly improved students' vocabulary acquisition and motivation. The manual version demonstrated slightly higher gains in vocabulary mastery, emphasizing the value of direct peer interaction and face-to-face communication. Meanwhile, the digital version was appreciated for its accessibility and innovative features, despite encountering some minor technical challenges. These results highlight the importance of integrating both traditional and digital approaches in language teaching and provide practical insights for educators seeking to enhance vocabulary learning outcomes.

Abstract

Having good writing competence is essential for both students and professionals for writing reports, completing academic assignments, and expressing ideas. However, to be able to write well, writers often face various challenges related to text structure, logical flow, and interference from the native language structure especially when writing in a foreign language. The logical flow in writing can be effectively realized through cohesion and coherence in the text. The objective of this research is to know the realization of both grammatical and lexical cohesion, and coherence strategies employed by students in their writing to perform text texture. This research adopts a qualitative descriptive design using a content analysis (document review) approach. The data were obtained from documents in the form of narrative paragraphs written by English department students. The data were analyzed using the cohesion theory of Halliday and Hasan (1976). The results of the analysis show that the students applied grammatical cohesion in the form of references (55.93%), substitution (0%), conjunctions (33.05%), and ellipsis (11.01%), as well as lexical cohesion in the form of reiteration (56.04%) and collocation (43.96%) in their writing. As for coherence, the students employed strategies such as the repetition of key words (35.07%), the use of pronouns (2.65%), the use of transitions (30.89%), and logical order (8.59%). These results reflect the quality of students’ writing and demonstrate how their flow of ideas are organized coherently and cohesively, resulting in messages to be well-delivered, clear, and unambiguous.

Abstract

Dyslexia affects approximately 10–20% of the global population, yet it remains widely misunderstood and frequently misidentified by educators. Characterized by difficulties in phonological processing, dyslexia poses significant challenges within traditional, text-heavy English instruction. However, many dyslexic learners exhibit strengths in visual, spatial, and creative domains. This single-case qualitative study investigates how a third-grade student with dyslexia constructed meaning through Digital Storytelling (DST) in the context of English learning. Through two personal and autobiographical digital narratives, the participant employed multimodal tools; including images, narration, and visual sequencing, to convey meaning rooted in lived experience. The findings reveal that DST functioned as a cognitive scaffold, reducing extraneous cognitive load and facilitating expressive, schema-based communication. Her strong preference for realism and visual representation over fictional or abstract content illustrates the principles of Cognitive Load Theory (CLT), Dual Coding Theory, and Multimodal Discourse. This study underscores the pedagogical value of DST as a learner-centered, inclusive approach that leverages dyslexic students’ cognitive strengths to support comprehension, retention, and language development in early English education.

Abstract

Introducing vocabulary to kindergarten children is difficult, especially for foreign languages. They need clear visuals to illustrate a word. Based on the researcher's experience at BiMBA Kindergarten, students were less interested and less motivated in learning English because the learning methods and media were less interesting. Therefore, the researcher aims to conduct this study to assess the effectiveness of the methods and media used on vocabulary mastery. This research was conducted at BiMBA Genuksari with a sample of 30 kindergarten students. A quantitative research method was applied using a pre-experimental design with a pre-test, post-test, and observation as data collection. The results showed the statistical analysis using a paired sample t-test produced a p-value of 0.000, indicating a significant difference after treatment. The observation results also showed that students' learning motivation increased after treatment. Therefore, teachers can use flashcards and dragon games to create an engaging and student-centered learning environment. Keywords : Dragon Game, Flashcard, Vocabulary

Abstract

Speaking is a crucial component of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learning; however, many Indonesian senior high school EFL students struggle to deliver well-structured argumentative speeches due to difficulties in recalling ideas and organizing arguments during real-time speech production. These challenges often result in hesitation, limited fluency, and weak argument development. To address this problem, this study investigates whether mnemonic cues can improve students’ argumentative speech performance. This study employed a quantitative quasi-experimental design using non-equivalent control group. The research involved 68 Indonesian senior high school EFL students divided into an experimental group taught with mnemonic cue-based instruction and a control group taught with conventional instruction. Data were collected through an argumentative speech performance test and analyzed using descriptive statistics, paired samples t-tests, independent samples t-tests, and effect size analysis. The findings revealed a statistically significant improvement in the experimental group (p<0.05), with the mean score increasing from 51.29 to 78.00 (mean gain=26.71). The effect size analysis yielded a Cohen’s d value of 1.47, indicating a very large effect. These results suggest that mnemonic cues function as effective cognitive scaffolding tools that support students in organizing arguments and maintaining fluency during speech delivery. The study provided empirical support for integrating mnemonic cues into EFL speaking instruction. It is recommended that teachers incorporate mnemonic cues as structured support to improve argumentative speech performance among Indonesian senior high school EFL students.
