Abstract

The use of humor in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classrooms has gained increasing attention due to its potential to enhance learning outcomes. Research has shown that humor can improve student motivation, engagement, and comprehension by reducing anxiety and creating a more relaxed learning atmosphere. However, little is known about the effectiveness of humor in EFL listening courses within the Indonesian context, particularly in hierarchical learning environments where teacher-centered instruction is dominant. This study aims to explore the perceptions of English Literature students at Universitas Negeri Medan (Unimed) regarding the use of humor in listening courses and to analyze its impact on motivation, engagement, and listening comprehension. The study employed a qualitative approach with a descriptive design, involving 56 students from two Intermediate Listening Comprehension classes. Data were collected through observations, questionnaires, and semi-structured interviews, and analyzed using thematic analysis. The results indicate that humor positively influences listening comprehension and enhances motivation and engagement. Students reported that humor made listening activities more enjoyable and increased their willingness to participate. However, cultural sensitivity, linguistic complexity, and the lack of structured training for lecturers were identified as challenges in implementing humor effectively. The findings suggest that incorporating contextually relevant humor into listening instruction can create a more engaging learning environment and improve student outcomes. Future research should explore the long-term effects of humor through experimental and cross-cultural studies to strengthen the understanding of humor’s role in EFL education.

Abstract

While ample studies have explored the creation of task-based materials to enhance the English proficiency of university students, there has been limited research on how such materials can be tailored to promote university students' public speaking competence. This paper presents findings from a research and development (R&D) study aimed at refining English teaching materials using a task-based approach to bolster university students' public speaking abilities. The study was conducted in the English Language Department at a public university in Medan and followed the R&D model by employing a multi-phase methodology. Initially, a needs analysis was carried out using a questionnaire to gather student data, focusing on their learning needs and preferences for public speaking skill development. The data were analysed using descriptive statistics to identify key trends. Based on the findings, task-based public speaking materials were developed, featuring structured debates, role-plays, and presentations that encouraged students to engage in real-world speaking tasks. These materials aimed to cultivate both linguistic and strategic competencies necessary for effective public speaking in academic and professional contexts. The materials were then validated through expert evaluation to ensure content accuracy, alignment with public speaking objectives, and pedagogical relevance. Following validation, the materials were piloted in the classroom, and qualitative feedback was collected from both the lecturer and students through interviews and surveys. The validation process confirmed the practicality and effectiveness of the task-based materials. Additionally, both the lecturer and students reported positive outcomes, noting significant improvements in the students' public speaking competence and increased engagement due to the real-world relevance of the tasks.

Abstract

This study explores the implementation of Telegram chatbots as learning media at SMPN 4 Binjai, focusing on enhancing teaching and learning processes through digital transformation. Telegram can serve as effective learning tools by facilitating interaction among teachers, students, and parents (Sanaky, 2023), the research involved training and mentoring 21 teachers using methods such as presentations, discussions, and simulations over three meetings. The chatbots aimed to address challenges such as workload management and student engagement by providing automated content distribution, quizzes, and feedback. Findings indicate that Telegram chatbots significantly enhance the efficiency of delivering educational material, boost student interest and engagement, and promote independent learning. This study underscores the importance of digital literacy in modern education and suggests that ongoing training and support are crucial for maximizing the effectiveness of Telegram chatbots. By creating more interactive and responsive learning environments, chatbots offer a promising future for educational settings. The results highlight the necessity for educational institutions to embrace technological changes and provide continuous training for educators to fully utilize digital tools' potential, thereby improving the overall quality of education.

Abstract

This study examines how moral populism is linguistically constructed in the social media discourse of Indonesian public figure Dedi Mulyadi. Unlike dominant global models of populism that construct political legitimacy through conflict with elites, Mulyadi’s public persona emerges from empathetic encounters with ordinary citizens documented on YouTube. Rather than proposing policies, he performs ethical responsibility, framing poverty as moral virtue and leadership as personal caregiving. The analysis draws on twenty fully transcribed videos uploaded between January 2023 and January 2024 and applies an integrated linguistic framework combining discursive polarization, narrative, and appraisal theory. The findings show that (1) “the people” are constructed as morally deserving through narratives that romanticize hardship, (2) the leader is positioned as a cultural elder and ethical mediator rather than a political representative, and (3) indirect critiques of governance are articulated through linguistic contrasts between moral action and bureaucratic inaction. Public witnessing in the videos further legitimizes these moral acts, producing co-constructed authority. The study argues that Mulyadi’s discourse represents a non-antagonistic form of moral populism rooted in everyday care, shared cultural responsibility, and linguistic intimacy. These findings expand current scholarship by demonstrating how populist legitimacy in localized Southeast Asian contexts can emerge not through ideological opposition, but through ethical narration and interpersonal moral performance.
