Abstract

Newspapers these days tend to be less kind, especially when reporting on elections. Euphemisms can be used because journalistic discourse surrounding elections is essentially political. The purpose of this study is to describe the usage of euphemisms, including their form, meaning, and purpose. In this study, a qualitative descriptive method was employed. This research data is presented as words, phrases, and clauses found throughout the whole news discourse column concerning elections in the daily Jawa Pos issue from November 2023 for 12 discourses. The documentation approach was used to acquire data. The research findings demonstrate that euphemisms in simple words, phrases, and clauses are present in the news discourse regarding the election in the daily Jawa Pos for November. In news discussions around elections, euphemisms typically have meanings related to linguistic refinement and the concealment of unpleasant facts or events.

Abstract

This classroom action research aimed to improve seventh-grade students’ vocabulary mastery by implementing the Snake and Ladder game as an interactive learning medium. The study was conducted in two cycles following Kemmis and McTaggart’s model consisting of planning, action, observation, and reflection. Participants included 32 seventh-grade students from a junior high school in Indonesia. Data were gathered through vocabulary tests, observation checklists, field notes, and student interviews. Findings indicate that using the Snake and Ladder game enhanced students’ motivation, participation, and vocabulary achievement. Students’ scores improved from a pre-test average of 58.7 to 69.5 in Cycle 1 and later reached 81.3 in Cycle 2, surpassing the minimum mastery criterion. Qualitative findings further showed that the game encouraged collaboration, reduced anxiety, fostered a supportive learning climate, and created a joyful classroom atmosphere. These results suggest that the Snake and Ladder game is an effective instructional strategy for strengthening vocabulary mastery among seventh-grade students. Teachers are recommended to incorporate structured game-based learning activities into English lessons to improve student engagement and learning outcomes.

Abstract

This study is motivated by the phenomenon of moral degradation and the crisis of integrity in the digital era, as well as the sociological challenges faced by Pondok Pesantren Nurul Iman, which develops within a pragmatic and materialistic market environment. This condition necessitates a systematic and sustainable character education strategy, particularly in instilling the value of honesty among students. The study aims to describe the model of internalizing honesty values through the Weekly Majelis Taklim as the primary instrument for character building among students.This research employs a qualitative approach with a case study design. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and documentation studies relevant to student development activities. Data analysis applies the interactive model of Miles and Huberman, which includes data collection, data reduction, data display in descriptive narrative form, and continuous conclusion drawing.The findings reveal that the internalization process of honesty is carried out systematically through the concept of the “Integrity Chain,” which consists of three main stages: (1) value transformation through the study of six authoritative classical Islamic texts (turath) to build a strong theological foundation; (2) value transaction through interactive dialogue, habituation, and exemplary conduct (uswah hasanah) of the teachers; and (3) value transinternalization reinforced by dormitory supervisors (musyrif) to foster inner awareness (muraqabah).Significant impacts are observed in students’ real behavior, such as honesty in canteen transactions, discipline in fulfilling responsibilities, and integrity in daily social interactions. This study concludes that the synergy between classical literature, collective role modeling, continuous habituation, and consistent environmental control is effective in building a “moral fortress” for students amid marginal environmental challenges and the currents of globalization.
