Abstract

This study analyzes the use of subject-verb agreement in Prabowo Subianto’s interview as president-elect at the Qatar Economic Forum. The objective is to evaluate the accuracy of subject-verb agreement in his spoken English during the interview. Using qualitative content analysis, the transcript of the interview was examined to identify instances of correct and incorrect subject-verb agreement. The results indicate a consistent application of subject-verb agreement throughout the interview, with both singular and plural subjects correctly matched with their respective verbs. This consistency contributes to the clarity and professionalism of the communication. Despite the spontaneous nature of spoken language, which often allows for grammatical leniency, Subianto's use of subject-verb agreement was found to be highly accurate. These findings highlight the importance of grammatical precision in spoken English, especially in formal settings.

Abstract

The objective of this research  is to analyze English teachers' roles in strengthening character education and its obstacles. Qualitative methods with an inductive approach were used, gathering data through interviews, observations, and field notes. There are two English teachers and the eighth grade students participated in this research, which was conducted at SMP Negeri 1 Lahewa Timur. The data analysis techniques used are data condensation, data display, and verification. Results reveal three teacher roles, designing and implementing learning that integrates character values, being role models, and inspirators. Religiousness, honesty, tolerance, discipline, hard work, creativity, independence, curiosity, national spirit, love for the country, respect for accomplishment, friendliness, peace, love of reading, environmental and social care, and responsibility are all examples of integrated character values. Lesson plan analysis shows five main character value focuses: religion, honesty, responsibility, hard work, discipline, and environmental care. Obstacles include environmental factors, family, social media, and time constraints. Due to time constraints, one teacher was observed to only verbally communicate their role as an inspirator without putting it into practice in the classroom, according to the Theory of Planned Behavior.
