Abstract

In written English production, using passive voice is one of the most challenging aspects to master. This study aims to analyze the frequency, structure, and functions of passive voice in written English, especially in political newspaper articles. A descriptive qualitative approach was used for this study, with data collection techniques in the form of document studies on four samples of newspaper articles regarding political issues that happened in Indonesia in early 2025; two articles were taken from The Jakarta Post, and two others were from ANTARA, published around January to February 2025. The result obtained from 4 political news articles shows that of the total 82 sentences analyzed, 26 sentences (31%) are passive voices. Two main types found were: "to-be" passive form (formal passive), 75%, and "to get" passive 25%. This indicates that passive sentence usage in political news articles is quite common. The passive form, with or without phrases, is used by the writers to emphasize some truths to be involved in an event or incident and express their opinion to influence the reader's mind.

Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan menelaah pengintegrasian teknologi digital dalam pengajaran bahasa Inggris di Sekolah Menengah Atas (SMA) serta mengidentifikasi tantangan dan dukungan dalam implementasinya. Dengan pendekatan kualitatif berdesain studi kasus, data dihimpun melalui wawancara mendalam semi-terstruktur terhadap tiga guru dari sekolah yang berbeda di Bandar Lampung, dilengkapi analisis dokumen dan observasi partisipatif terbatas. Hasil menunjukkan adanya pola adopsi yang jelas, berawal dari pandemi COVID 19 sebagai titik balik guru dalam mengimplementasikan beragam teknologi digital ke dalam proses pembelajaran. Selain itu, inisiatif guru dalam mengembangkan aplikasi turut memperkaya pengalaman belajar peserta didik. Dukungan institusional tercermin pada ketersediaan prasarana pembelajaran yang relatif memadai. Meski demikian, kendala muncul pada ketidakstabilan pasokan listrik, koneksi internet, serta motivasi siswa dalam menyelesaikan projek berbasis teknologi. Materi offline-ready, rencana cadangan, pengelompokan siswa secara variatif, dan pendekatan personal kerap diadopsi guru untuk mengatasi kendala tersebut. Studi ini merekomendasikan penguatan dukungan kelembagaan guna mengoptimalkan integrasi teknologi digital melalui peningkatan prasarana, penjaminan kestabilan jaringam, penetapan prosedur yang jelas saat terjadi kendala, serta penguatan kolaborasi guru dalam mengembangkan aplikasi sederhana melalui pelatihan yang memadai.

Abstract

Foreign language anxiety (FLA) has been a significant area of research in second language acquisition, due to its impact on language learning. However, research focusing on teachers’ awareness of students' FLA remains limited, despite suggestions in the literature that educators play a crucial role in helping students cope with anxiety. To address this gap, the present study explores the awareness of junior high school teachers on students’ FLA. A case study approach was employed, utilizing semi-structured interviews with three junior high school English teachers in Lampung, Indonesia. The data were analysed thematically. The findings indicate that the teachers were generally aware of FLA and could identify its signs, causes, and impact on language learning. However, they appeared to lack awareness that FLA is context-specific and distinct from other forms of anxiety. The study concludes with implications for teacher training and pedagogical practice in relation to managing FLA in the classroom.
