Abstract

This research article explores the grammar learning needs and challenges faced by English language learners through an analysis of questions collected from the online discussion forum. The forum, created by a group of researchers at Universitas Negeri Medan, serves as a platform for learners to seek guidance and support in their grammar learning journey. By conducting qualitative content analysis on 19 questions specifically related to grammar, common themes and patterns regarding grammar challenges were identified. The findings highlight areas of difficulty such as Subject-Verb Agreement, Direct and Indirect Speech, Punctuation (Hyphen usage), Relative Clauses, Understanding "Neither" and "Either", Verb Tenses, Passive Voice, Direct Quotations vs. Paraphrasing in Academic Writing. Addressing these challenges through targeted explanations, examples, and recommendations can assist educators and language instructors in supporting learners in overcoming grammar difficulties and improving overall language proficiency. The insights derived from this study contribute to the development of effective instructional strategies tailored to learners' specific needs.

Abstract

Medan City, as the center of the Deli Malay Sultanate and the colonial administration in the past, boasts numerous iconic forms. The distinctive characteristics of these iconic forms hold significant potential for development as references in creating contextual texture painting art. Unfortunately, this potential remains largely unexplored. Therefore, this research aims to explore the potential of iconic forms in Medan City with the goal of developing them as references for the creation of textural painting art as a tourism product for Medan City. This study employs a descriptive qualitative approach, conducted both in the field and in the studio. The methods employed include surveys and creative creation, applying Graham Wallas' theory of creativity. Research data is collected from various sources using relevant techniques, subjected to data triangulation, and analyzed following an interactive model: data reduction and presentation, verification, and drawing conclusions. The research results indicate that the potential of iconic forms as references for abstract textural painting art emerges from their representation of Medan City's character, alongside the dynamic nature they embody. The exploration of abstract textural art becomes tangible during the painting process, which, in this study, involves deformative processes, particularly simplification and stylization. Abstract textural painting art is explored based on the principles of visual art and tourist art, resulting in artworks that possess both aesthetic and technical qualities as tourism products.

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.
