Abstract

Sertifikat prediksi TOEFL merupakan salah satu persyaratan yang harus diserahkan oleh setiap mahasiswa di UIN KH Abdurrahman Wahid Pekalongan sebelum proyek akhir atau sidang tesis mereka. Data awal dari unit bahasa kami menunjukkan bahwa, dari 598 peserta tes pada tahun 2023, 57% gagal pada percobaan pertama, sementara 34% harus mengulanginya bahkan setelah percobaan kedua. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi faktor-faktor yang membuat mahasiswa universitas kami kesulitan mencapai nilai lulus TOEFL, khususnya pada bagian membaca, dan mengatasi tantangan ini melalui program yang disebut Immersion Bootcamp. Ini adalah penelitian tindakan partisipatif. Selama program, mahasiswa diberikan berbagai kegiatan mulai dari menonton film hingga membaca cerita pendek dan menyanyikan lagu-lagu berbahasa Inggris. Hasil menunjukkan bahwa 24 dari 41 peserta mengalami peningkatan nilai membaca TOEFL setelah mengikuti Immersion Bootcamp. Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa Immersion Bootcamp sangat efektif dalam meningkatkan kemampuan pemahaman bacaan mahasiswa.

Abstract

TED stands for Technology, Entertainment, and Design. It is a global set of conferences that has now broadened its focus to include talks on many scientific, cultural, and academic topics (ted.com). This research aimed to identify the kinds of communicative functions used by speakers in TED Talks and which communicative functions are used the most by the speakers to attract their audiences. There were two basic data involved in this study. The first data were TED Talks audio-visual recordings. There were six videos used in this study. The second data was the transcript of the TED Talks. This research adopted the purposive sampling method. The analysis of the functional communicative profile has shown that some communicative functions are used in the same way by TED Talk speakers. Some other functions are more frequently used than others. The most frequently used were the heuristic communicative function and interactional communicative function. This study is expected to enrich the knowledge of teachers and practitioners whose daily lives are close to public speaking and better understand what makes certain public talks and speeches succeeded to captivate their viewers.

Abstract

The spread of religion-based radicalism in digital spaces requires strategic communication efforts from Islamic higher education institutions to build counter-narratives through the strengthening of moderate Islamic discourse. This study aims to analyze the implementation of Agenda Setting Theory in the role of Public Relations at Islamic Religious Higher Education Institutions in developing moderate Islamic discourse through digital media. Using a qualitative approach with a case study design, data were collected through in-depth interviews and documentation analysis of both institutions’ communication activities. The findings reveal that PR plays four major roles in disseminating moderate Islamic values: as a communication technician, communication facilitator, expert prescriber, and problem-solving facilitator. Through the application of the Agenda Setting Theory, PR successfully establishes key issues such as religious moderation and humanism as the main focus of the universities’ digital communication. Strategies employed include maintaining visual identity consistency, strengthening media networks, and aligning messages with institutional visions and missions. This study concludes that PR at PTKI functions not only as an information manager but also as a social change agent and a driver of digital da’wah that supports moderate Islamic discourse in digital media.
