Abstract

Numerous studies have investigated the importance of slang in linguistics in various media, including novels. The dominant works on this subject have focused solely on the structural explanation of slang, leaving out its sociological context and meaning. Given the nature of slang itself as a pure informal language, studies about the semantic meaning of slang must be essential. This research looked into the slang words and expressions in a true-crime novel entitled ‘Black Mass’ by Dick Lehr and Gerard O’Neill in 2000. The goal is to discover the semantic meaning of slang words and expressions in the novel using the qualitative method and Mattiello’s hearer-oriented (2008) theory as the underlying theory. We applied the documentary method to retrieve the data and further analyzed it using Miles et al.  (2014) theory. Heavily influenced by the setting of South Boston and its crimes, Black Mass data indicated that this novel’s slang is primarily attributed to freshness and novelty. Subsequently, we found evidence of the novel’s use of desire to impress and faddishness, playfulness and humor, and impertinence properties. Color and musicality are this novel’s least common categories of slang, with only four occurrences in the entire manuscript. Given that the novel’s literature cover is still scarce, it is hoped that these findings are helpful to those who are interested in studying and researching the semantic area.

Abstract

This study analyses how a teacher at SMPLB-CD YPAC (Foundation for Children with Disabilities), Banda Aceh, Indonesia, teaches English listening using the Total Physical Response (TPR) method to autistic students. In this method, a teacher instructed the students to act as modelled by the teacher. Students are considered to have good listening comprehension if they understood the teacher’s commands and imitated the act. This research is qualitative to describe the application of the TPR method in teaching English listening skills to autistic students. The sample for this study was four autistic students at the school under study. The data were collected by observing and documenting the English listening teaching-learning process in the classroom using the TPR method. The data were then analysed, focusing on the classroom dialogues directly related to using the TPR method to teach listening comprehension to autistic students. The results showed that the TPR method is suitable to teach students with autism to learn and understand new words. This was because they were asked to imitate the words verbally and in action repeatedly. The students could memorize the new vocabulary because it involved motor activities, which created a fun atmosphere in the classroom. Students were active in doing the actions and have no pressure to learn. The TPR method also contains elements of games which is able to raise a positive mood in autistic students.

Abstract

This study focused on teaching speaking skills using Recorded WhatsApp Video Call as a treatment for the first grade of one public senior high school in Banda Aceh, Indonesia. Researchers used a purposive sampling by consulting with the English teacher. The samples taken were class X IPA 3 (Science class) consisting of 20 students. Researchers performed a sequential explanatory mixed-method study that displayed a descriptive analysis of quantitative data collection and an in-depth understanding through qualitative data collection. This study compared the result of the students’ achievement in speaking before and after the treatment. The instruments used were an oral speaking test and interview. The data were analysed by using statistic simple formula and gathered from pre-tests and post-tests. The result showed that students’ speaking skills improve after implementing the method. The students had a positive response towards the use of WA video call in a learning activity despite internet access limitation that the students face.

Abstract

This is a conversation analysis study on courtroom communication. This study aims to investigate how the forces of question (information seeking and confirmation seeking) were achieved and the pragmatic strategies, particularly repetition, and reformulation, used by the prosecutor during a cross-examination of the defendant in an Indonesian murder case; a courtroom trial of a cyanide poisoning case considered weak due to a lack of sufficient evidence against the defendant. The data was obtained from the Kompas TV YouTube Channel and was transcribed using Jeffersons (2004) technique of transcription. This study employed a descriptive qualitative method to discover the force of questions and pragmatic strategies. The data was analyzed by adapting Gibbons (2003) and Archer's (2005) classification of question form and question force. The results demonstrate both information-seeking and confirmation-seeking questions were used by the prosecutor. Gibbons (2003) repetition and reformulation strategies were used to further investigate the pragmatic strategies. The finding shows pragmatic strategies, particularly repetition, and reformulation, were also evidenced in the lines of questioning. The patterns of the findings indicate that the prosecutor attempted to portray the defendants unreliability and untrustworthiness in court. These findings also implicate that the existence of the strict rules of courtroom communication and power imbalance in court allows the prosecutor to influence the defendants response.

Abstract

This study examined Acehnese maternal taboos and their relationship with health perspectives through an anthropological and linguistic approach in Banda Aceh and Aceh Besar, Indonesia. It explored how traditional beliefs coexist with modern health knowledge within their cultural contexts. The study contributes theoretically by indicating that maternal taboos represent an evolving knowledge system where cultural meanings, intergenerational transmission, and health interpretations interact rather than exist as separate domains. Data were collected through interviews with 12 women (pregnant women, those with previous pregnancy experience, and caregivers), two obstetricians, and two midwives selected based on their maternal health expertise. Participants were from various areas of Banda Aceh and Aceh Besar, while healthcare professionals had 5–25 years of clinical and academic experience. The findings revealed that Acehnese maternal taboos comprise five categories: dietary, life safety, time, place, and activity. Dietary restrictions were the most prevalent, particularly concerning foods consumed during pregnancy and the postpartum period. Among 34 documented taboos, 22 partly corresponded with health-related considerations, such as avoiding sugar cane due to its high sugar content, reflecting a connection between traditional practices and health knowledge. These health-related maternal taboos reflect three interconnected views of pregnancy: bodily vulnerability, environmental influence, and moral responsibility. These practices regulate food intake, environmental interactions, and maternal behavior, indicating that Acehnese maternal knowledge constructs health through the relationship between the body, surroundings, and social obligations rather than biological mechanisms alone. The remaining 12 emerged primarily from cultural or supernatural beliefs, such as avoiding outdoor activities at sunset to prevent unseen disturbances. Although some practices lack support from current health perspectives, they remain widely observed and transmitted across generations. They emphasize the enduring influence of oral tradition in shaping Acehnese cultural identity and social values.

Abstract

The role of English as a global language has sparked debates in English Language Teaching (ELT), particularly within the context of World Englishes. This study investigates Indonesian pre-service teachers’ perceptions of five key issues: English as a global language, language ownership, native versus non-native speaker status, cultural content in ELT, and the appropriateness of teaching methods and materials. The study was conducted in Banda Aceh and used a mixed-methods approach, combining questionnaires and semi-structured interviews with 15 participants. The findings show that while participants recognize the global importance of English, they express concerns about its dominance over local languages and cultures. Native speakerism is contested; some value native speakers’ linguistic accuracy, while others prioritize teaching ability. The participants note challenges in adapting Western materials to local contexts and encourage a hybrid approach combining global perspectives with local relevance. They find that English teaching should be more flexible and inclusive to help students understand global English while valuing local cultures.
