Abstract

This research examines how students at Universitas Negeri Medan (UNIMED) express their opinions through Instagram, focusing on the @semaunimed.id account managed by the Student Senate. Using qualitative content analysis, this study explores the themes, communication styles, and emotional framing found in students' comments. The findings show that students often use sarcasm, humor, and informal language to voice their concerns, especially on issues such as academic policies and campus facilities. Sarcasm emerged as the most dominant style (33%), while negative emotional framing appeared in 60% of the analyzed comments, indicating a tendency towards dissatisfaction and criticism. However, positive expressions of support and constructive feedback also appeared. Using the theoretical framework from Norton, Gudykunst, and Entman, this study shows that Instagram not only serves as a platform for informal dialog, but also as a space for advocacy, institutional accountability, and student participation in higher education discourse.

Abstract

Mirroring is a behavioral phenomenon that helps foster connection and communication by prompting individuals to unconsciously mimic the words, body language, or facial expressions of their interlocutors. This study aims to examine the realization and application of NLP mirroring patterns in host and guest interactions on Therapuss with Jake Shane. Drawing upon the mirroring theory by Shlomo Vaknin (2008), this study utilizes a qualitative content analysis approach to identify and analyze the use of behavioral, symbolical, and exchanged match mirroring in conversations between Jake Shane (host) and Rose, Larray, and Tate (guests). According to the results, behavioral mirroring accounts for 61.22% of mirroring instances, symbolic mirroring for 30.61%, and exchanged matches for 8.16%. Behavioral mirroring is used most frequently, reflecting the repetition of words and gestures during interaction. These findings highlight the significance of mirroring in interpersonal communication, demonstrating its role in strengthening social bonds and shaping interpersonal exchanges. This study aims to contribute to a greater understanding of how NLP mirroring mechanisms are applied in digital media interactions.

Abstract

In the digital era, effective communication is crucial for advancing climate action within the framework of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This study examines the application of anchoring strategy techniques through a linguistic approach to enhance climate change communication. By analysing digital content such as social media posts, videos, and captions the research identifies the impact of comparative, basic, counter, and debiasing anchoring strategies on audience engagement. Quantitative analysis of interactions (likes, comments, and shares) reveals that strategic semantic framing, persuasive discourse, and pragmatic language use significantly improve message clarity and foster a sense of collective responsibility. The findings suggest that leveraging these linguistic techniques can bridge existing communication gaps, motivate proactive climate behaviour, and support more effective climate action. Future research should explore additional linguistic methods to further refine communication strategies across diverse audiences.

Abstract

This research originates from the problem of low confidence and public speaking performance among English Literature students, which is often triggered by a rigid numerical assessment system. This qualitative case study was conducted at Universitas Negeri Medan to evaluate the effectiveness of implementing Toastmasters-based evaluation sessions as an alternative assessment model. Through direct observation and structured questionnaires, the findings show that systematic feedback loops are able to improve both the psychological and technical aspects of students simultaneously. The data indicate that 70% of respondents felt calmer and more confident due to the supportive evaluation environment. Technically, there was a significant improvement in eye contact and a reduction of filler words by 86.7%, where all participants (100%) agreed that systematic feedback was far more effective than traditional numerical grading. The uniqueness of this research lies in the transition toward a “micro-evaluative” model that empowers students to take on specific roles such as Ah-Counter and Timer to develop deeper technical awareness. The study concludes that the integration of structured peer feedback is a key factor in bridging the gap between theoretical linguistic knowledge and professional communication competence.
