Abstract

This study analyze the rhetorical structures employed in beauty brand sales videos on Instagram aiming to understand how they engage viewers and influence purchasing behaviour. Using a genre-based analytical approach, especially the model suggested by (Warsidi, Adnan, et al., 2024), the study identifies three main rhetorical moves across 15 selected sales videos. These videos were chosen based on data sets criteria. The findings reveal that establishing customer interest is the most dominant move in all samples, with strategies such as presenting product benefits and using persuasive interaction language appearing most frequently. Conversely, strategies like greeting the audience or providing taglines appeared less often and were considered optional. The study explores language frames used to increase engagement on social media platforms, including emotionally resonant queries, descriptive product language, personal suggestions, and urgent calls to action. By combining qualitative and quantitative methods, this study provides valuable insights into how rhetorical strategies influence consumer behavior on social media platforms. The research emphasizes the importance of creating content and the strategic role of language and appearance in selling products effectively. This research contributes to understanding digital marketing and offers implications for rhetorical studies, social media marketing, and English for Business Purposes (EBP).

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the integration of GenAI in creating DSTs as a STEAM-based medium for learning English tenses and to determine students’ acceptance of the created DSTs by using a simplified R&D by Alessi. This method consists of three phases: planning, design, and development. During the phases, multiple GenAI tools were employed for activities such as scripting, image and audio generation, editing, and subtitling. The results show that each GenAI has its own role and produces different responses, which require a curation process to ensure pedagogical content and appropriateness. The DST was also validated by two experts in content and media using Aiken’s V, which confirmed strong validity (M = 0.98, M = 0.97). It was then disseminated through TikTok and Instagram. Furthermore, the thirty EFL learners participating in this study showed a significant improvement (p < 0.001) as determined by the Wilcoxon test. TAM results also showed a reliable score (0.87) and positive student acceptance (M = 4.12). These findings affirm that GenAI can effectively assist in creating DSTs, improve students’ tense understanding, and are positively received by students. The findings also provide a practical GenAI-assisted DST workflow for EFL-STEAM contexts.
