Salah satu media massa yang secara luas digunakan dalam masyarakat kita di samping televisi dan internet adalah surat kabar. Surat kabar terdiri dari berita faktual dan aktual dari pelosok negeri. Ucapan-ucapan yang digunakan di koran kadang menyesatkan jika para pembaca tidak memahami wacana berita. Dengan demikian, Analisis Wacana sangat penting untuk mengenali wacana dan makna yang dimaksudkan dari ucapan-ucapan yang dimuat di koran. Wacana menekankan pada studi tentang bahasa dalam konteks sosial, sementara Analisis Wacana adalah analisa untuk mencari apa yang memberi koherensi wacana, kualitas yang bermakna dan terpadu. Analisis wacana digunakan untuk mengungkapkan makna yang dimaksud (lisan/tertulis) yang digunakan untuk komunikasi sosial dengan menganalisis konteks situasi dan references/acuan yang dipakai. Fokus utama Analisis Wacana ialah mempelajari hubungan antara bahasa dan realitas serta fungsi/peran bahasa dalam membangun dan menjaga realitas sosial.Â ÙØ§Ùت Ø§ÙØ¬Ø±Ø§Ø¦Ø¯ Ø§ØØ¯Ù اÙÙØ³Ø§Ø¦Ù Ø§ÙØ§Ø¬ØªÙ

Abstrak; Banyak guru bahasa yang akhir-akhir ini membahas tentang pentingnya penggunaan materi otentik dalam kelas Bahasa Inggris sebagai Bahasa Asing (English as a Foreign Language-EFL). Pendapat persuasif para ahli Pengajaran Bahasa Inggris sebagai Bahasa Asing juga bersikeras bahwa bahasa Inggris yang ditampilkan di dalam kelas EFL seharusnya materi otentik agar siswa benar-benar masuk dalam penggunaan bahasa Inggris di kehidupan nyata. Secara umum, sebagian besar guru-guru EFL setuju bahwa materi otentik bermanfaat dalam proses belajar mengajar, terutama bagi siswa. Yang sangat penting tentang penggunaan materi otentik dalam kelas EFL adalah tentang kapan materi tersebut diperkenalkan kepada siswa dan bagaimana menggunakannya. Artikel ini menyajikan definisi dari materi otentik, kemudian diikuti dengan eksplorasi keunggulan dan kelemahan dalam pelaksanaannya di kelas EFL. Kemudian beberapa pertimbangan tentang penggunaan materi otentik di kelas EFL juga dibahas. Yang terakhir adalah beberapa contoh tugas dan kegiatan kelas yang menggunakan materi otentik ditampilkan sebagai contoh penerapannya secara praktis di kelas EFL.Â Ø§ÙØ¥ÙجÙÙØ²ÙØ© Ø§ÙØ¯Ø±Ø§Ø³ÙØ© اÙÙØµÙÙ Ù٠أصÙÙØ© Ù

There are barriers in teaching and learning foreign language but there are always ways in overcoming the problems. One of the most challenging tasks faced by (English as a Foreign Language) EFL teachers is how to elicit the students’ interest so that they will be more motivated to learn and successfully develop their English proficiency. Educational psychology theories developed by Russian psychologist, Lev Vygotsky have been recognized as having great contribution to language education and teacher training. Education experts also insisted that in order to motivate the students, English which is presented in EFL classrooms should be authentic in order to immerse students into the real usage of English communication. This article discusses Vygotsky’s sociocultural approach and the authentic materials used in the classroom to develop students’ English proficiency.

The importance of vocabulary education in second and foreign language learning cannot be overstated. Teachers face a complex problem in teaching vocabulary because the English language contains hundreds of thousands of words, making it difficult to determine what to teach first. During their first semester at IAIN Ponorogo, students are exposed to English terminology by using a textbook required for English classes. The research aims to answer the following questions. They are 1) what are the coursebook's token types and sizes? (2) how many tokens, types, and word families are introduced in the coursebook? (3) what are the coursebook's vocabulary demands? (3) what vocabulary learning opportunities are offered in the coursebook? This study employed a corpus-based approach, and the analysis was carried out using RANGE, computer software. According to the findings, language learners who followed the coursebook were exposed to about 1,164-word families. Language learners need more vocabulary exposure from other sources to supplement the Nation's recommendation of focusing on the 2,000 most commonly used words.

It was related to the choice of the 8th-semester students of IAIN Ponorogo in the academic year 2022/2023 in choosing the Postgraduate program. This research employed a quantitative methodology using binary logistic regression statistical techniques. It also used a random sampling method, randomly choosing student identification numbers to choose the sample. Therefore, every member of the population had an equal chance of being included in the sample, ensuring that the sample was representative of the population for research purposes. Questionnaires were used to gather key information: brand association, perceived quality, and brand awareness. The findings of this research show that: 1) the Postgraduate of IAIN Ponorogo ranked first for the top of mind level, with UIN Yogyakarta occupying the second spot; and 2) the internal quality of the Postgraduate program had a considerable impact on whether or not the 8th-semester students of the IAIN Ponorogo prioritized the Postgraduate program of IAIN Ponorogo.

Reading is one of the most important basic skills in learning English for students to learn. Reading is understanding written text which is a complex activity involving perception and thinking which consists of two processes related to word recognition and understanding. Comprehension is the process of understanding interconnected words, sentences and texts. Therefore, reading cannot be separated from understanding. The purpose of this research is to find out whether there is a significant difference between students who are taught using problem-based learning and have better reading comprehension than students who are not taught using problem-based learning. Researchers applied a quantitative research approach with quasi-experimental design. This research used two classes. The population in this study were all XI Science students at SMAN 1 Sambit, totaling 87 students. The sample in this study was an experimental class with 29 students and a control class with 29 students. Researchers used pre-test and post-test in data collection. Data were analyzed using a t-test formula such as the Independent Sample T-Test. The results showed that the mean post-test for experimental class was 89.82 and the mean post-test for control class was 80.93. This shows that there is a difference in mean scores between the two classes. The T-Test results show a significance value of 0.00 which is smaller than 0.05. Based on these data, it can be concluded that there is a significant difference between reading comprehension of students who are taught using problem-based learning than students who are not taught using problem-based learning.
