Abstract

This research examines the presence and function of vague language in the political speeches of Joko Widodo, with a focus on its implications for critical thinking and digital literacy. Vague language, including non-specific references, generalizations, and implicit meanings, is a common feature of political rhetoric that can obscure meaning and influence interpretation. The study uses a qualitative content analysis approach to identify the linguistic forms and rhetorical strategies used in selected speeches. Findings indicate that vagueness is employed to maintain flexibility in meaning, appeal to a broad audience, and avoid direct claims that may be politically sensitive. These rhetorical choices present both challenges and opportunities for listeners and readers in digital environments, where information is rapidly disseminated and consumed. By analysing these features in educational settings, students can develop critical thinking skills necessary to decode political texts, evaluate credibility, and make informed judgments. This study argues for the integration of linguistic and rhetorical awareness into digital literacy programs to cultivate more discerning and informed citizens in the digital era.

Abstract

This article examines students’ perceptions of using WhatsApp for learning English at SMP Islam As-Shofa and investigates differences between male and female students’ perceptions. The study employed a quantitative descriptive design involving 30 ninth-grade students from two classes. Data were collected through online questionnaires distributed via a WhatsApp group. Students’ responses were analyzed using a Likert scale to measure perceptions of WhatsApp as a learning tool. The results indicate that WhatsApp is fairly feasible for learning English, with 40% of students expressing a positive perception. Regarding gender differences, 24.4% of male students and 21% of female students reported positive perceptions. Conversely, 45.2% of students expressed negative perceptions, with 23.8% of males and 22.4% of females disagreeing. These findings suggest that while WhatsApp can support English learning, students’ perceptions vary, highlighting the need for strategies to enhance engagement and effectiveness in online learning environments.

Abstract

This research aimed to find out students’ difficulties in understanding descriptive texts at the second year of SMAN 3 Langgam, Riau. This was quantitative research. The population of this research was all students at the second year of SMAN 3 Langgam. The samples of this research were 34 students at XI IIS 1 class who were selected by using the cluster-random-sampling technique. The data were collected by using tests and questionnaires. The test consisted of 40 questions, and the questionnaire consisted of 25 questions. The percentage of the answers of the reading test revealed eight components of reading comprehension. Six of them were categorized as high level difficult questions, including difficulties in identifying vocabulary, generic structure, factual information, reference, language features, and social functions. Two of them were categorized as medium level, including difficulties in identifying the main idea and inference. Based on the result of the questionnaire, the students found difficulties in understanding descriptive texts due to the intrinsic and extrinsic factors. The intrinsic factors were limited vocabulary knowledge, problems in recalling information, lack of familiarity with the subject topic, lack of reading fluency, and problems in processing information after reading. Meanwhile, the extrinsic factors were weak verbal reasoning, problems in understanding the text because of the level of the text, and inadequate use of reading strategies in the teaching and learning process.

Abstract

Phonology is significant in facilitating communication, especially for university students who are learning English as a foreign language. The purpose of the study is to determine the types and causes of pronunciation errors made by students of FKIP Universitas Riau. A descriptive qualitative study was conducted by selecting sixteen students from various study programs. Pronunciation tests, recordings, and interviews were used as data collection methods, and data were analyzed using the International Phonetic Alphabet. The study identified eight types of phonological errors, characterized by vowel substitution, silent letter pronunciation, diphthong simplification, consonant substitution, cluster reduction, voicing, epenthesis, and spelling pronunciation. These errors are caused by the Indonesian phonological system, a lack of pronunciation practice, and students’ need to speak English. These findings show that pronunciation errors are common among university students and need more attention in English pronunciation classes.

Abstract

Speaking proficiency is a fundamental component of communicative competence in EFL contexts, yet many Indonesian students continue to experience difficulties in oral performance. This study investigated the contribution of self-efficacy and self-regulated learning to the speaking performance of eleventh-grade students at four Madrasah Aliyah Negeri (MAN) schools in Pekanbaru. Using a correlational quantitative design, data were collected from 106 students selected via cluster random sampling. The instruments consisted of two adapted questionnaires measuring self-efficacy and self-regulated learning, and a rubric-based speaking test assessing vocabulary, fluency, comprehension, grammar, and accent. The data were analyzed using multiple linear regression after meeting the required assumptions of normality, linearity, and multicollinearity. The results showed that both self-efficacy and self-regulated learning made significant positive contributions to speaking performance, with self-efficacy (β = 0.444, t = 5.895, p < 0.001) and self-regulated learning (β = 0.534, t = 7.102, p < 0.001) emerging as significant predictors. The model produced an R value of 0.792 and an R² value of 0.627, indicating that the two predictors explained 62.7% of the variance in students’ speaking scores. These findings suggest that students with greater confidence in their speaking ability and a stronger capacity to plan, monitor, and evaluate their learning tend to demonstrate higher speaking performance. The study suggests that pedagogical practices that promote learners’ confidence and self-regulated learning may support the development of speaking proficiency in EFL classrooms.

Abstract

This research aims to analyze types of Teacher's Talk, characteristics of Teacher's Talk, and patterns of interaction in the class in EFL learning at Abdurrab Foundation School, Pekanbaru, Indonesia. This research used observation classes, audio recordings, and semi- structured interviews with one English teacher. Three meeting classes from different classes were observed to ensure variation interactional. Data analysis used a deductive thematic approach guided by Flanders' Interaction Analysis Categories System (FIACS) and the concept of Classroom Interactional Competence (CIC). The research results indicated that asking and giving directions are the most frequent types of Teacher's Talk used, suggesting a pattern of teacher-centered learning. The absence of criticizing or justifying authority indicates that the classroom atmosphere was generally supportive and non-threatening. In terms of the characteristics of Teacher’s Talk, the teacher frequently employed questioning, scaffolding, and adaptive language to facilitate students’ understanding and participation. However, the use of extended wait time and opportunities for student–student interaction were still relatively limited. The classroom interaction patterns further revealed that teacher–whole-class interaction was dominant, whereas peer interaction occurred less frequently. These findings confirm the importance of maintaining a balance between instructional control and creating interactional space, particularly in EFL classrooms where increasing learner-centered participation is essential for communicative language development.
