Abstract

This research aims to identify the types of illocutionary acts and the dominant illocutionary acts used in the speech. This study employs a qualitative descriptive method. Data were collected through transcription and analyzed using data collection, data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing/verification. The data were classified into multiple categories based on the concepts outlined in John R. Searle's theory. Only one speech by Leen Alkassab, delivered at the graduation ceremony for ambassador doctors at Harvard Medical School in the United States, was used as the data source for this research. The findings indicate two illocutionary acts: assertive, and expressive. Assertive acts were the most dominant found in the speech, with 22 occurrences, most of which involved stating functions. Expressive acts were found in 13 cases, with the illocutionary functions of gratitude and thanks being the most common. Directive and commissive acts were the least frequent, while declarative acts were not found in the speech, as they require specific conditions for declarative utterance to occur.

Abstract

The marsipulut tradition in Rao-rao Lombang Village, Mandailing Natal, represents a manifestation of local wisdom that plays an important role in the marpokat or pre-marital deliberation process. This study examines the role of marsipulut as a cultural symbol as well as the socio-cultural values embedded within it. Marsipulut, a dish made of glutinous rice mixed with grated coconut and palm sugar, is not only regarded as a traditional delicacy but also as a representation of togetherness, respect, and commitment among families involved in the marriage agreement process. A qualitative research method with an ethnographic approach was employed, involving participatory observation, in-depth interviews with traditional leaders and community figures, and the analysis of local documents. The findings reveal that marsipulut functions as a medium of symbolic communication that reinforces social structure, fosters solidarity, and codifies norms related to etiquette and responsibility in the pre-marital stages. Furthermore, the marsipulut serving ceremony affirms the boundaries of local cultural identity amid socio-cultural changes. The study recommends preserving the marsipulut practice through cultural education and documentation to ensure the continuity of cultural values that sustain social cohesion in Rao-Rao Lombang. This research contributes to the development of local anthropological studies and cultural policy by providing empirical evidence of the relationship between the materiality of ritual food and the structure of values. Further studies are suggested to explore intergenerational dynamics and the impact of modernization on marsipulut practices for more adaptive preservation strategies.

Abstract

Limited public speaking Mastery among students highlight the need for structured guidance and continuous practice. To address this issue, MTs. NU Malintang Jae implemented a speech extracurricular activity as a platform to enhance students’ speaking Mastery. This study aimed to analyze students' speaking skills and identify the challenges they faced during the activity. A qualitative field study method was used, involving 25 eighth-grade students. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation. The analysis involved data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The findings showed that 52% of students had a "very good" level of speaking Mastery, 28% were at a "good" level, and 20% were at a "fair" level. Challenges were observed in fluency, pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary, and audience engagement. Specific difficulties were related to psychological factors (8 students), linguistic factors (12 students), environmental factors (1 student), and public speaking skill factors (4 students). These were mainly associated with lack of confidence and speaking-related anxiety. It is recommended that speech extracurricular activities provide more targeted support and practice opportunities to help students overcome these challenges and improve their speaking performance.

Abstract

This research aims to identify the problems faced by students during the process of learning English speaking skills at SMA Negeri 1 Panyabungan Selatan and to find out why the problems students face become factors that hinder their English speaking ability at SMA Negeri 1 Panyabungan Selatan, specifically focusing on 12th-grade students in MIA II. The study employs a qualitative descriptive method, emphasizing the interpretation of events and the acquisition of real data to depict the actual conditions experienced by students. Primary data were collected through questionnaires and observations, focusing on the challenges students encounter in mastering English speaking skills, including low vocabulary mastery, grammatical barriers, pronunciation issues, shyness, nervousness, fear of making mistakes, lack of confidence, limited practice, the dominance of the mother tongue, and low motivation. This research was conducted over four sessions at SMA Negeri 1 Panyabungan Selatan, focusing on the MIA II class, involving 20 students, from August 30, 2024, to September 30, 2024. The findings reveal that the English-speaking skills of the 12th-grade MIA II students remain at a low level. While some students demonstrated better speaking skills, the majority struggled to express themselves in English. In-depth classroom and outside observations showed that most students were unable to convey their thoughts effectively in English. Several factors hinder students' ability to speak English effectively. A primary issue is low vocabulary mastery, which makes it difficult for students to form simple sentences and leads to struggles in finding the right words and uncertainty about pronunciation. Many students also lack a solid understanding of English grammar, resulting in frequent errors that disrupt communication and diminish their confidence. Difficulties with pronunciation further discourage participation in speaking activities due to fear of mistakes or ridicule. Additionally, limited practice, as students focus more on written tasks and rely heavily on their mother tongue in the classroom, reduces their opportunities to practice English. Lastly, low motivation affects their progress, as many students show little interest in improving their speaking skills or understanding the relevance of English proficiency. Collectively, these factors significantly limit their overall progress in speaking English fluently.

Abstract

TOEFL is an international benchmark of academic English proficiency, yet its listening section remains the most demanding because it requires the rapid, real-time processing of natural speech. The difficulty intensifies when connected-speech features—linking, reduction, and assimilation—shift word boundaries and alter pronunciations, posing considerable challenges for test-takers. This study examined how learners’ mastery of these features relates to their listening performance, particularly in TOEFL, using a convergent mixed-method design. Learners completed a TOEFL-like listening test and a connected-speech test developed from a connected-speech analysis of the listening materials. Results indicated that connected-speech skills significantly predicted listening comprehension, with linking generally easier to process, while reduction and assimilation frequently caused misperceptions. These findings highlight that limited mastery of connected speech directly affects listening performance and underscore the need for targeted, feature-specific instruction. Pedagogically, to enhance listening instruction—especially in TOEFL preparation training—the curriculum should integrate intensive practice with authentic materials that train students to comprehend and produce connected speech, thereby improving their listening performance and maximizing their TOEFL listening outcome.
