Abstract

This study investigates the phenomenon of sexist verbal violence on social media through a psycholinguistic lens, focusing on the linguistic forms, communicative functions, and psychological impacts of abusive language directed at women. Triggered by the growing prevalence of gendered hate speech on platforms such as TikTok and Instagram, particularly targeting female public figures, this research employs a descriptive qualitative method supported by speech act theory (Austin, 1962; Searle, 1969). A total of 150 comments were analyzed, of which 55 were identified as containing sexist verbal abuse. The findings reveal that these utterances typically involve illocutionary speech acts such as insults, verbal sexual harassment, gender stereotyping, and moral policing. The corresponding perlocutionary effects include emotional harm, such as shame, fear, and diminished self-confidence in the victims. From a psycholinguistic perspective, the production of such language reflects internalized gender bias, affective disinhibition, and the activation of negative cognitive schemas. The study further highlights how digital anonymity and ethical disinhibition enable users to express aggression with minimal accountability. Overall, the results indicate that language is strategically used to exert power and reinforce patriarchal norms within digital discourse. This research underscores the need for greater linguistic awareness, the promotion of digital empathy, and the implementation of more responsive communication ethics in online environments. Creating safer, more inclusive digital spaces requires a multidimensional approach involving education, platform regulation, and cultural change in how language is used and interpreted.

Abstract

The phenomenon of impoliteness in digital spaces is gaining attention because it can affect the quality of public discourse, especially when it comes to national policy issues. This study aims to analyze the forms of impoliteness strategies used by netizens in responding to the attitude and statements of Finance Minister Purbaya regarding the project. Using a descriptive quantitative method, data was collected from netizen comments on the YouTube platform and classified based on Culpeper's impoliteness taxonomy. The results of the study show a total of 604 occurrences of impoliteness strategies, with positive impoliteness dominating at 37.1% through expressions of belittlement or disrespect. Bald on record impoliteness strategies also appeared significantly, mainly in the form of direct criticism without mitigation (10.76%). Meanwhile, negative impoliteness and sarcasm or mock impoliteness appeared in lower percentages, but still described a consistent pattern of verbal aggression. The results of the study show a total of 604 occurrences of impoliteness strategies, with positive impoliteness dominating at 37.1% through expressions of belittlement or disrespect. Bald on record impoliteness strategies also appeared significantly, mainly in the form of direct criticism without mitigation (10.76%). Meanwhile, negative impoliteness and sarcasm or mock impoliteness appeared in lower percentages, but still described a consistent pattern of verbal aggression. These findings indicate that netizens' responses tend to be evaluative-negative and are often realized through direct attacks on the self-image of public officials. This study concludes that netizens' rudeness is triggered by dissatisfaction with government statements and reinforced by the characteristics of digital communication, which allows for spontaneous expression without strong social control.

Abstract

This mini research Introducing TOEFL and Strategies for Mastering the Listening Section: A Learning Program at SMA Negeri 1 Siantar was conducted with 21 eleventh-grade students (Class XI) as participants. The main objective of this study is to provide a structured and available step in preparing students to face academic English requirements, especially the TOEFL Listening section. The method used in this study consists of three stages: preparation, implementation, and evaluation. In the preparation phase, students were introduced to the TOEFL format and the types of listening questions. In the implementation phase, students were trained using listening strategies such as note-taking, predicting content, and managing time. In the evaluation phase, students’ progress and performance were assessed. The results showed a significant improvement in students’ familiarity with the test and their listening comprehension skills. This program highlights the importance of early training and strategic learning in preparing high school students for academic English proficiency tests.

Abstract

This community service program aimed to improve listening comprehension among fourth-grade students at SD Negeri 124385 Pematangsiantar through the integration of BBC Learning English audio and the Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) approach. The problem addressed was the limited use of authentic listening activities in classrooms. The program involved 19 students and was carried out in three phases: preparation, implementation, and evaluation. During the implementation, students participated in contextual listening tasks, vocabulary repetition, group analysis, and interactive question sessions. Rather than using formal tests, the evaluation focused on student engagement and response accuracy through observation. Results showed that 78.95% of students achieved strong listening performance. The findings suggest that integrating Communicative Language Teaching with accessible audio materials supports effective and affordable listening skill development in elementary classrooms.

Abstract

  Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly reshaping foreign language learning by providing learners with immediate linguistic support, conversational practice, adaptive feedback, and opportunities for learning beyond formal classroom time. Yet the pedagogical value of AI cannot be reduced to technological availability alone. This qualitative study is designed to explore how 30 university students experience AI-supported foreign language learning, with particular attention to speaking development, learner agency, engagement, feedback, confidence, self-regulated learning, and critical AI literacy. Data are to be collected through semi-structured interviews and, where available, supplementary learning reflections or AI interaction records. The study adopts reflexive thematic analysis to identify patterns in how students use AI to rehearse speech, generate ideas, expand vocabulary, check grammar, seek pronunciation support, manage speaking anxiety, and regulate independent learning. At the same time, the study examines tensions related to inaccurate output, dependency, superficial learning, privacy, academic integrity, and the limited authenticity of machine-mediated interaction. The manuscript proposes Guided Human-AI Language Learning (GHAILL) as an interpretive model in which learners move from goal setting to AI-mediated practice, critical evaluation, linguistic modification, human communication, and reflection. The central argument is that AI is most educationally valuable when it functions as a scaffold and rehearsal partner rather than a substitute for learner thinking, teacher guidance, or human interaction. The study contributes to emerging scholarship on generative AI in language education by connecting AI use with agency, self-regulation, willingness to communicate, and speaking development in a university context.
