Abstract

Sociolinguistics is the study of the relationship between language and society, examining how social factors influence language use. This qualitative study investigated the use of translanguaging and language varieties within the sociolinguistic context of communicative practices between lecturers and sixth-semester English Education students at HKBP Nommensen University. The research aimed to identify the types of translanguaging and language varieties employed and to explore their benefits in enhancing classroom communication. Findings revealed that lecturers predominantly utilized language style (16 data) as a form of language variation, reflecting their personal communication approaches. In terms of translanguaging, personal translanguaging (20 data) was most prevalent, indicating a natural integration of multiple linguistic resources. The study highlighted that both language variation and translanguaging significantly improved communication, comprehension, and student engagement. Lecturers and students reported that these practices facilitated the expression of complex ideas, boosted confidence, and fostered a more inclusive learning environment. The research suggests that incorporating translanguaging and language variation, including multilingual resources and the integration of students' first languages, is crucial for optimizing educational outcomes in EFL contexts

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the use of pauses, overlaps, and backchanneling in political conversations on Najwa Shihab’s YouTube channel, specifically between Najwa and Ahok, using Yule’s (1996) Pragmatics theory. The research method is a descriptive qualitative method with a conversation analysis approach. Data were collected through conversation transcripts and analyzed using conversation analysis theory. The results show that pauses are divided into short and long pauses. Short pauses occurred 6 times, typically happening when a speaker is thinking or formulating the next words, while long pauses occurred 9 times, providing space for the interlocutor to think and respond. Overlaps occurred 26 times and were categorized into three types: difficulty in conversation with an unfamiliar person occurring once, expressions of closeness and solidarity occurring twice, and interruptions occurring 23 times. These overlaps often happened when both speakers spoke simultaneously, arising from awkwardness, enthusiasm, or interruptions to present a different argument or defend a point of view. Additionally, vocal backchannels, such as “mmm,” “yes,” and “okay,” occurred 11 times, while non-vocal backchanneling, such as nodding, occurred once. Backchannels serve as short responses from the listener to indicate attention, agreement, or understanding. This study concludes that these elements play a crucial role in enriching the dynamics of political conversations on social media, enhancing interaction between speakers.

Abstract

By using the results from the ELSA Speak application, the pronunciation skills of second-year English majors at Universitas HKBP Nommensen Medan were examined. The ELSA Speak Application was utilized to determine the kinds of pronunciation faults made by second-year students at the English Department of FKIP Universitas HKBP Nommensen Medan. This study used a descriptive qualitative research design. The ELSA Speak Application and documentation were used to collect data from students' pronunciation diagnoses. Twenty students were selected as the sample, with the population of the study consisting of the students in the English Department at FKIP Universitas HKBP Nommensen Medan. The following are the conclusions: The majority of the sample found that they would "try again" and "almost correct”. Most of the ‘try again’ categories occurred when students pronounced words in which the sounds were not familiar in the student’s native language which is Bahasa Indonesia, such as /tʃ/. The other words with the ‘try again’ category are found when students pronounce words with subtle sounds and are called because the sound produced is close to a predictable sound so it can be concluded that every word can be understood such as /ŋ/, /v/. The other category of ‘almost correct’ is found in the lateral consonant /l/ and consonant cluster /ft/.
