Abstract

This study aims to find the forms of strategies and functions of requests in English that are used in several films with different ratings. Another objective of this research is to find the relations between the uses of strategies and functions of requests in English. Film is a picture of everyday life and we can see the cultures of a society, one of which is the use of language. To view the request speech acts in English, then two films that use English as a communication tool with regard to the different ratings were selected. The selection of films with different ratings are intended to see differences in the use of language in movies watched by children and adolescents. Rating in the selected movie consists of G (general audiences) and PG (parental guide suggested). Rating G is a film that is for the public, which means that the film can be watched by all ages. Rating PG is a movie that can be watched by children under parental guidance. Having found the forms and strategies of request speech acts in different films with different ratings, the situations and conditions of the use and the functions of request strategies were identified. Forms of speech act strategies invoked were classified based on the theory advanced by Trosborg (1995), while to see the functions of request speech acts Tsui’s Theory (1994) was used. As for achieving the objectives of this study, the authors use several effective methods. In collecting the data, the techniques used were watching and listening to the films that have been selected. Then recorded phrases of request speech acts found in the films. Once collected, the data were analyzed by using analysis technique proposed by Spradley (1980), ie domain analysis, taxonomic, componential and cultural value. From the analysis, it was concluded that there was no difference in strategies and functions used in the two films. Both use four strategies, namely indirect request, the hearer-oriented condition, speaker-based condition, and direct request. In addition, they also illustrate the same five functions of request speech acts, request for action, request for permission, offer, invitation, and proposal. The most frequently used strategy and function are direct request and request for action respectively.

Abstract

The rapid growth of digital technology requires students to develop strong digital literacy skills to navigate the internet responsibly, securely, and efficiently. However, many students still struggle with distinguishing credible information, safeguarding their personal data, and practicing proper online etiquette. This program was designed to improve the digital literacy of students at SMPN Satap 4 Panarukan through an interactive, hands-on awareness program. The approach involved a pre-test, instructional presentations, discussions, simulations, and a post-test to assess learning outcomes. The pre-test findings revealed that only 31% of the 32 students demonstrated a solid understanding of digital literacy. However, after the program, post-test results indicated a notable improvement, with 81% of students correctly answering questions and exhibiting a deeper comprehension. Moreover, student participation in discussions and simulations increased, reflecting the effectiveness of the chosen methods. Despite these positive outcomes, sustaining digital literacy remains a challenge due to limited technological access and the absence of consistent educator support. To address this, integrating digital literacy into the school curriculum and securing support from various stakeholders is crucial to ensuring students can continuously refine their digital skills.

Abstract

Penerapan teknologi digital dalam pendidikan dasar, khususnya untuk pelestarian lingkungan dan pengembangan literasi bahasa Inggris, masih menghadapi berbagai kendala di sekolah-sekolah Indonesia. Di SD Integral Luqman Al Hakim Situbondo, tantangan utama mencakup minimnya dokumentasi keanekaragaman hayati, terbatasnya pemanfaatan media digital yang interaktif, serta pembelajaran bahasa Inggris yang jarang terkait dengan pengalaman nyata siswa. Untuk mengatasi hal ini, program ini mengimplementasikan model pembelajaran digital berbasis konteks yang mengintegrasikan inventarisasi dan dokumentasi keanekaragaman hayati, QR code, serta materi audiovisual berbahasa Inggris. Setiap spesies tanaman di lingkungan sekolah dicatat dan dikaitkan dengan QR code yang menuntun siswa maupun pengunjung ke video edukatif singkat yang diproduksi oleh siswa. Pendekatan ini meningkatkan literasi sains, bahasa, dan digital siswa, sekaligus menumbuhkan kesadaran ekologis. Selain itu, guru memperoleh pengalaman dan keterampilan dalam merancang serta melaksanakan pembelajaran berbasis proyek berbantuan teknologi. Temuan penelitian ini menekankan pentingnya strategi interdisipliner yang memanfaatkan teknologi untuk menghadirkan pengalaman belajar bermakna sekaligus menanamkan nilai-nilai keberlanjutan pada pendidikan dasar.
