This research is driven by the significant shift in teacher roles from primary information providers to facilitators within student-centered learning models, which inherently alters classroom social dynamics. The study aims to identify the types of social dimensions in teacher-student interactions, analyze their realization through a Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) lens, understand the underlying ideologies, and compare theoretical frameworks with actual classroom implementation. Using a qualitative approach with Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) based on the theories of Teun A. van Dijk and Norman Fairclough, this study focuses on interactions in an eleventh-grade English class (Class XI Plus D) at SMA Negeri 1 Kutacane. Data were collected through observations of English teaching and learning sessions. The findings reveal four primary social dimensions: Power, Access, Dominance, and Control, which oscillate between hierarchical authority and collaborative engagement. While the teacher employs "soft power" and provides "access" to students, a "negotiated control" exists where the teacher remains the final arbiter, leading to a "mock democracy". The study concludes that a gap persists between the ideal student-centered model and practice, as interactions remain constrained by traditional patterns. Suggestions for future research include conducting longitudinal studies and incorporating "student voice" or multimodal analysis to gain a more holistic understanding of classroom power struggles

This qualitative research investigates the social dimensions, power relations, and underlying ideologies in teacher-student interaction within the English classroom at MTS PP Al-Qomariyah. Despite the curriculum shift toward a student-centered approach, there is a potential for unintentional power imbalances and ideological influences that limit student exploration. This study aims to identify the social dimensions (social norms, status, roles, and power) and understand the influence of underlying learning ideologies. The research employed a Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) methodology, utilizing Norman Fairclough’s three-dimensional framework. Participants were the English teacher and Grade IX students at the school. Data were collected through classroom observation and analysis of interaction transcripts, with analysis focused on connecting discourse to ideology and social practice. The findings reveal that the classroom interaction is primarily shaped by an Asymmetrical Hierarchy rooted in the Pesantren (Islamic boarding school) context. This hierarchy is constantly reinforced by Hegemonic Values such as Adab (etiquette) and Kepatuhan (obedience), which manifest linguistically through formal address. Furthermore, the underlying ideology is dual: Instrumental (English as a technical tool) and Normative (requiring content to be filtered by religious/cultural values). In conclusion, the traditional institutional context strongly impacts modern pedagogical roles. The study recommends implementing practical strategies to democratize classroom discourse and foster a more empowering, inclusive learning environment

This study aims to analyze the language errors contained in the observation report texts (LHO) of class VII A students of MTS Pancasila Tanjung Beringin and identify the causal factors to improve the quality of writing learning. This study uses a qualitative approach with descriptive methods and document analysis study types. The research data are in the form of 24 observation report texts written by class VII A students. The study found a total of 847 language errors from 24 essays (an average of 35.3 errors per essay). The distribution of errors based on category is: (1) punctuation errors 287 errors (33.9%); (2) sentence structure errors 180 errors (21.3%); (3) spelling errors 156 errors (18.4%); (4) diction errors 154 errors (18.2%); and (5) cohesion-coherence errors 70 errors (8.3%). The most dominant type of error was the use of commas (156 errors, 18.4% of the total), followed by subject-predicate mismatch (67 errors, 7.9%), and inappropriate word choice (89 errors, 10.5%). Analysis of the causes of errors revealed that errors were mainly caused by: (1) pedagogical factors (40%) - minimal emphasis on learning punctuation and sentence structure; (2) psycholinguistic factors (30%) - limited working memory and lack of attention when writing; (3) intralingual error (20%) - imperfect mastery of Indonesian language rules; and (4) interlingual error and sociolinguistic factors (10%) - the influence of everyday language and regional languages. Grade VII A students still experienced a high level of language errors in writing observation report texts, especially in the aspects of punctuation and sentence structure. The results can serve as a basis for teachers to design more targeted remediation programs and improve the overall quality of writing instruction

This study aimed to determine the effect of the Project Based Learning (PjBL) model on students’ learning outcomes in the Natural and Social Sciences (IPAS) subject on the topic of human body parts for fourth-grade students at SD Negeri 114615 Tanjung Mangedar. This research employed a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental method using a Nonequivalent Control Group Design. The research subjects consisted of two classes: Class IV A as the experimental group with 24 students and Class IV B as the control group with 22 students. Data were collected through pretest and posttest in the form of essay questions. The data were analyzed using normality tests, homogeneity tests, and hypothesis testing with an independent samples t-test. The results showed that the average posttest score of the experimental class taught using the PjBL model was 84.17, which was higher than that of the control class taught using conventional learning, with an average score of 64.54. The results of the t-test indicated that the calculated t value was greater than the t table value, indicating that the alternative hypothesis was accepted. Therefore, it can be concluded that the Project Based Learning (PjBL) model has a significant effect on improving students’ learning outcomes in the IPAS subject for fourth-grade students at SD Negeri 114615 Tanjung Mangedar.
