Abstract

The lexical density is known as the component determining the complexity level of the text. Hence, measurement of lexical density is needed to find out how challenging a particular text is to read.  However, it is important to know that the lexical density in English reading materials especially in Indonesian EFL textbooks between the Government Publisher and Non-Government Publisher is still less explored. This research will employ the Quantitative design to investigate how dense the lexical items are found in these two EFL Textbooks. The result showed that the lexical density of the non-government textbook is denser in all of the genres of the text compared to the government textbooks. In brief, by knowing the lexical density in the text, the teacher should have known what the appropriate text level should be taught to the students which is neither too low nor too high.

Abstract

A video game is one of the popular cultures that gained much popularity among teenagers and adults. However, with its popularity, it also has controversy where female characters in video games are frequently to satisfy a male fantasy. Therefore, this research aims to investigate the representation of female characters in three video games: Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, Mark of The Ninja, and Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4. This research aims to address how the representation of female characters also portrays that sexism in video games still lingers. This research applied multimodal discourse analysis inspired by Haliday’s Social Semiotics. This research also uses Kress and van Leeuwen’s techniques in analysing visual semiotic sources. This research used four steps of collecting and analysing data proposed by Bezemer and Jewitt collecting and logging data, viewing, sampling data, and transcribing and analysing data. In the collecting and logging data phase, this research collected recorded gameplay and videogame cut scene using Bandicam software and took notes from semiotic sources representing the female characters. Viewing and sampling data involved the viewing process in the recorded video and taking a sample of data from four female characters. After that, the researcher transcribes and analyses the data using a multimodal discourse analysis framework. This research found that those first lead female characters are represented by wearing tight and obscene attire but having skills in influencing the main character.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the sincerity aspect of Indonesian and Korean advertisements through multimodal analysis. This study uses a content analysis research method using the FCB Grid Model on several products, namely fast food, tobacco, and telecommunications. The selection of ad samples was carried out based on the FCB Grid Model. The results of the study show that some products such as tobacco and fast food are included in the category of products that involve low emotions and thoughts when consumers consider these products. However, telecommunications products fall into the category of products that involve high rational thinking skills, thus requiring serious consideration from consumers. Other findings show that there are several semantic and pragmatic expressions that make consumers confused in choosing a product. The most frequent violations found in products are false expressions and explanations that lead consumers astray. In addition, other violations are expression omissions, exaggerated expressions, fictitious, and omission of important information, thus making consumers feel lost in choosing products.

Abstract

This study explores the representation of socio-cognitive components in Indonesian political multimodal news text using the framework of Systemic Functional Multimodal Discourse Analysis (SF-MDA). With the increasing prominence of multimedia in contemporary news production, understanding how socio-cognitive aspects are conveyed through multiple modes becomes essential. Drawing on SF-MDA, which combines systemic functional linguistics and multimodal analysis, the study examines how Indonesian political news texts incorporate social and cognitive elements to shape meaning and influence audience perceptions. This study was undertaken qualitatively involving three online news published by Indonesia’s publishers as the data. The result reveals that the visual and verbal modes merged in the news tend to highlight the good image of the political figures. It means that the meanings of visual and verbal components of the news persuasively work together to create the good impressions among readers to the human actor in the news. As the implication, multimodal resources are strategically employed to shape public opinion and promote specific political ideologies. Ultimately, this research aims to contribute to the development of critical media literacy and foster a more nuanced understanding of the socio-political dynamics in contemporary Indonesia.

Abstract

Garrison, Anderson, and Archer’s community of inquiry (CoI) pedagogical framework for online distance learning is receiving greater attention as the COVID-19 takes place. Primary research concerns the researcher with English as a second language (ESL) instruction and acquisition English as a foreign language (EFL). More specifically, the study looked at 27 EFL-related articles from 133 published between 2011 and 2021 in respected journals that used the framework to teach languages. This study focused on the theoretical and practical applications of the framework in the field of foreign language distance teaching and learning that incorporates the use of information and communication of technology (ICT). It was concluded from the study’s findings that implementing the framework in secondary schools had little impact. Research suggests that the framework can be used in teaching English as foreign language (TEFL) and it is associated with improved language proficiency. Teachers must adapt to the distant learning pedagogical framework and its supporting technology, according to this study. The paper also advocates for further research into how the framework may be applied in secondary school.

Abstract

This case study explored the unlikely phenomenon of the use of humor in academic lectures. The previous studies in this area have shown that, though traditionally unlikely, humor is commonly used as a linguistic strategy in academic discourse. Therefore, this case study aims to contribute to the literature of Indonesian academic discourse by examining the creation and functions of humor in Indonesian academic lectures. Through the descriptive qualitative method, this study analyzed five classroom lectures of English Literature major in Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia. After the lectures were transcribed according to Jefferson’s (2004) transcription convention, the question of the creation of humor was answered based on Grice’s (1975) conversational maxim theory. This analysis discovered that there was a slight inclination to create humor by flouting the Maxim of Quality in the data, which implies that the lecturers tend to rely on untruthfulness to create jokes. Afterward, the function is analyzed based on Nesi’s (2012) theory of functions of humor in academic contexts, and it was found that the lecturers mostly used humor to build rapport with the students.Keywords: Academic context, Conversational maxims, Cooperative principles, Humor, Functions of humor, Pragmatics

Abstract

Social media has become an important means for people to express their opinions and criticisms on various issues, including issues related to local government policies. Criticism towards local governments triggers various interpretations in society. Academics in the field of linguistics should respond to such issues by conducting research, one of which is discourse analysis from the perspective of Systemic Functional Linguistics. The purpose of this research is to reveal how speakers express their attitudes, judgments, and emotions through the language they use to convey criticism towards local government policies. This research employs a qualitative design. The data source is derived from the social media platform, TikTok in the form of videos criticizing local government policies. The result of this research indicate that the aspect of judgment dominates in the transcripts of videos criticizing local government policies followed by appreciation in second place and affect in third place. The most frequently used judgment is personal – negative – criticizing – direct. This aligns with the main objective of the videos criticizing local government policies used as data in this research, which is to criticize or evaluate. After judgment, negative appreciation is the second most prevalent. Lastly, negative affect – direct is the least frequently found in the research data.

Abstract

ABSTRACTProject-Based Learning (PjBL) has gained popularity as an approach to language teaching over the recent decade. However, previous studies have highlighted that PjBL is often applied in diverse contexts. This study aims to identify the key concepts and stages of PjBL implementation in teaching writing within the context of higher education in Indonesia. The research approach was a case study that utilized observation and interviews. The participant was a lecturer who actively incorporated PjBL into their teaching. The data were analyzed using content analysis. The findings reveal several stages of PjBL in teaching writing, including posing essential questions, planning and scheduling, outlining, developing the outline into a draft, monitoring progress, presenting the first draft, reviewing and editing, finishing, and publishing, and evaluating and reflecting. Furthermore, the study identifies key concepts of PjBL in teaching writing, such as driving questions, process and product orientation, student ownership, extended project duration, natural integration of skills, dual commitment to language and learning, group work obligation, student responsibility for information gathering, processing, and reporting, assumed new roles and responsibilities for students and teachers, collaboration, and reflection. This study also sheds light on how PjBL can be applicable in teaching writing.ABSTRAKPembelajaran Berbasis Proyek (PjBL) telah menjadi metode pengajaran bahasa yang populer dalam dekade terakhir.

Abstract

Discourse is frequently understood as the largest and most complete unit of language structure, structurally, it means that discourse is part of a series of language components. It is defined and viewed from many different perspectives, ranging from a very linguistic- oriented to a political- one. This perspective discourse has been analyzed for its role in expressing ideologies, power, dominance, inequality, and bias (Van Dijk, 1998). In Linguistics, discourse has also been viewed from different perspectives, referring to other types of languages used in various sorts of social situation such as newspaper discourse, advertising discourse, classroom discourse, and the discourse of medical consultation (Fairclough, 1992:3). This study focuses on lecturer’s politeness, speech acts and cooperative principles in the classroom. It will also bring to a broad band of disciplined questioning of the ways in which power works through the discursive practices and performances in schooling and lecturing. The research method applied in this study is a descriptive qualitative approach based on the transcription among models of classroom discourse- the Sinclair and Coultrhard (1975) model, performative utterances from J.L Austin, Roger Searle, and pragmatics from George Yule was selected as a sign post of this classroom on discourse analysis. All the data were analyzed in the form of a description. As the result of this study, observing classes, finding out some information from students, then applying the use of interaction- scheme undoubtedly results in a much better understanding of classroom aims and events, particularly in terms of lecturer talking and behaving to the students and classroom activities.
