Abstract

Metaphorical expressions carry layered meanings and serve a range of persuasive functions, especially within the political sphere. Their strategic use often aims to influence public perception and reinforce a speaker’s credibility. Donald Trump’s presidential campaign speeches during the 2016–2017 U.S. election cycle offer a compelling corpus for examining such rhetorical choices. This study analyzes the metaphors in these speeches by categorizing them into three types: structural, ontological, and orientational metaphors. Using a qualitative descriptive design grounded in cognitive metaphor theory, the analysis draws on Lakoff and Johnson’s Metaphors We Live By (1980). Operating within a post-positivist paradigm, the researcher serves as the primary instrument in interpreting the data. The findings show that structural metaphors allow Trump to frame abstract ideas through more concrete conceptual structures; ontological metaphors provide moderate conceptual grounding by attributing entity-like qualities to abstract phenomena; and orientational metaphors offer minimal conceptual structure while shaping spatial or directional understandings. Across these categories, Trump’s metaphors function to evoke emotion, shape audience perception, and construct a particular persona. Taken together, the metaphors project a worldview centered on resilience, national pride, and assertive leadership—features that contributed to the persuasive force of his political messaging.

Abstract

Digitalization has brought significant changes to the teaching and learning process, especially in English language learning. By integrating technology and information communication into its activities, moreover, it provides opportunities to create more interactive and engaging learning. This community service carried out at SMP Plus Al Ittihat Garut aimed at improving digital literacy of the teachers and students. The program was conducted through seminars, workshops, and intensive mentoring methods to implement affectively the program. The results of the activity showed an increase in positive attitudes towards the use of technology, digital skills, and teachers' ability to integrate digital media into English language learning. However, the limited internet access, imbalance in the availability of digital devices, and low digital literacy among teachers and students were considered as major obstacles in optimizing activities and utilizing technology in their implementation at this school. Based on the responses and enthusiasm of teachers and students, this digital literacy activity required a good sustainability to support more effective, creative, and adaptive learning in the digital era so that it can be a strategic step in overcoming the technology gap and improving the quality of education in the rural areas with limited resources.

Abstract

This research was based on the Community Service Program activities in the program of Everyday English based on CLT held in the Saung Angkung Udjo tourist area. The purpose of this study was to describe the implementation of the program by observing the effectiveness of the CLT approach applied in order to improve the English communication skills of child performers. This study involved 30 performers aged 8–15 years who are active in angklung and Sundanese cultural arts performances. Observations and interviews were applied to gather data and information that support this research. The results of the activity showed that participants already have the basics of English, but still experience limitations in using the language communicatively. The results of the observation showed that after participating in the training, the performers showed better English skills and were more confident in conveying vocabulary in English to tourists. Thus, the Everyday English program based on CLT can be an applicable learning model in improving English communication competency in the context of cultural tourism in terms of improving the quality of interaction between artists and tourists.
