Abstract

This research explores the role of AI-based chatbot tools in promoting creativity and engagement among English as a Foreign Language (EFL) students in web-based English material development course. A qualitative research design was employed, involving in-depth interviews and observation checklists. The research was conducted at the English Education Faculty in Parangtambung of Universitas Negeri Makassar, with data collection spanning from May 12, 2024, to June 9, 2024. Participants included five undergraduate students from the 6th semester based on their familiarity with AI chatbots. The subjects of this research were undergraduate students enrolled in the English web-based material development course. Specifically, five students with prior experience or familiarity with AI chatbots were chosen to provide detailed insights through interviews and observations. The findings indicate that AI chatbots significantly encourage creativity among EFL students by providing a safe space for language experimentation and immediate feedback. Students reported increased engagement and enjoyment in their learning process. The research concludes that while AI chatbots can effectively foster creativity and engagement, careful integration and continuous monitoring are necessary to maximize their educational benefits.

Abstract

Studi ini menganalisis tindak ilokusi yang ditemukan dalam pidato pelantikan Donald Trump tahun 2025, khususnya berfokus pada klasifikasinya menurut teori tindak tutur Searle (1979). Tujuan utama studi ini adalah untuk mengidentifikasi jenis-jenis tindak ilokusi yang dominan dan memahami makna di balik penggunaannya dalam konteks pidato politik. Dengan menggunakan pendekatan deskriptif kualitatif, data penelitian diperoleh dari transkrip pidato pelantikan Donald Trump yang diunggah di YouTube oleh KompasTV. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa kelima kategori tindak ilokusi Searle, yaitu asertif, direktif, komisif, ekspresif, dan deklaratif, ditemukan dalam pidato tersebut. Tindak asertif banyak digunakan untuk menyatakan fakta, keyakinan, dan penilaian Trump tentang keadaan negara, seperti krisis inflasi, masalah pemerintahan, dan tantangan sosial. Tindak komisif juga sangat dominan, dengan Trump membuat berbagai janji dan komitmen mengenai kebijakan masa depan, termasuk memulihkan kedaulatan, memperbaiki sistem peradilan, dan mengakhiri kebijakan yang dianggap merugikan. Namun, subkategori tindakan komisif, seperti 'penawaran' dan 'kesepakatan', tidak ditemukan, mengingat sifat satu arah dan deklaratif dari pidato pelantikan tersebut. Selain itu, tindakan direktif digunakan untuk mendorong audiens untuk bertindak atau mengadopsi pandangan tertentu, seperti seruan untuk menghadapi tantangan dengan jujur atau tidak membiarkan situasi buruk berlanjut. Tindakan ekspresif mencerminkan perasaan dan sikap Trump, seperti rasa terima kasih kepada para pendukung, optimisme tentang masa depan, dan simpati kepada korban bencana. Terakhir, tindakan deklaratif ditemukan dalam pernyataan yang secara langsung mengubah status atau kondisi, seperti deklarasi berakhirnya kemunduran Amerika. Secara keseluruhan, studi ini menegaskan relevansi teori tindakan tutur Searle dalam menganalisis komunikasi politik. Penggunaan tindakan ilokusi yang beragam oleh Donald Trump dalam pidatonya menunjukkan strategi retorika yang efektif untuk membentuk persepsi publik, memobilisasi dukungan, dan membangun narasi kepemimpinan yang kuat. Temuan ini memberikan wawasan mendalam tentang bagaimana bahasa digunakan sebagai alat untuk memengaruhi opini dan tindakan dalam wacana politik.

Abstract

The novel written by Toshikazu Kawaguchi with the title Before the Coffee Gets Cold uses a Japanese background, or rather Tokyo. The author explains that there is one located in a small alley in Tokyo. The age of the cafe is long enough or even you could say it's quite old. This research aims to identify idiomatic expressions in the novel. Idiomatic expression is a type of informal language which has a different meaning from the meaning of the words in that expression. “Hold Your Tongue” this idiom does not actually mean that you have to put your finger in your mouth and hold your tongue, it means that you should not talk. The theory used in this research is the theory from McCarthy and O'Dell (2010), where McCharty and O'Dell proposed 7 types of idioms, namely: similes, binomials, trinomials, euphemisms, proverbs, cliches, and fixed statements. This research uses a qualitative data analysis method based on Miles, Huberman and Saldana (2014). Data was taken from Toshikazu Kawaguchi's novel "Before the Coffee Gets Cold" and analyzed by reading the novel as much as possible and understanding all the conversations. The researcher categorized several conversations into types of idioms in the novel Before the Coffee Gets Cold. The results of this research show that there are 24 examples of simile in the text. In idiom Binomial, there are 11 examples of binomial in the text. In idiom Proverbs, there are 4 examples of binomial in the text.  In idiom trinomial, there are no examples of trinomials in the text. In idiom euphemism, there are no examples of euphemisms in the text. In idiom cliché, there are 6 examples of binomial in the text. And the last, idiom Fixed statements there are 13 examples of binomial in the text. In all these types of idioms, contextual meaning is how the use and combination of these words provide color, nuance, and additional meaning in the text. They help to depict situations, characters, or messages in the story more deeply and creatively.Keywords: idiom, idiomatic expression, novel
