Abstract

Issues regarding attitudes and perceptions about English and its cultural politics have been widely and significantly reported in literature. As an international language, English signifies multiple and complex benefits and challenges. This paper aims to extend the discussion by interrogating students’ attitudes and unpack their views towards promises of English in Indonesian Islamic higher education (HE) settings. Participants in this study were undergraduate English Literature students who had engaged with the introductory principles of (Critical) Applied Linguistics (CPL). Data was collected through questionnaires (with closed and open-ended questions) from 58 participants, 19 males and 39 females, and semi-structured interviews with four students. The findings elucidated different views on varieties of English as students showed a quite moderate view of varieties of English from non-inner circle countries instead of treating them as something deficient. Dependency on native speakers’ English variety, however, seems to be negotiated in that the participants view intelligibility as more important in communication than, for instance, correctness. Moreover, students in the present study view speaking English with a local accent as something acceptable. Although not absolutely certain, they still presume that having competence in English can offer better hope in their future.

Abstract

This study delves into Joe Biden's use of the personal pronouns "I" and "We" in his presidential campaign speeches, analyzed through the framework of Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL). By examining how Biden presents himself and the nation, the research uncovers the narratives crafted to promote a sense of unity and leadership. The SFL framework provides a detailed description of the linguistic choices that shape Biden's self-representation and his depiction of America, highlighting the strategies used to connect with voters on both personal and national levels. The results reveal Biden's portrayal of America, his vision for the future, and the specific policies he advocates. Such portrayals are expressed through six processes of Ideational metafunction: Material, Mental, Behavioral, Verbal, Existential, and Relational. Relational process is the highest process found in the data. It implies Biden’s inclusivity as common American people and his effort to resonate with a diverse audience. In short, this analysis enhances the understanding of the rhetorical tools utilized in political discourse to create impactful narratives.
