Abstract

This research analyzed the language style used by YouTuber Bailey Sarian in the video “Chris Watts – 2000 Page Discovery Murder, Mystery & Makeup” using Martin Joos's (1967) language style theory, which classified language styles into five types: frozen, formal, consultative, casual, and intimate. The purpose of this research is to determine what language style Bailey used in that video and which language style is dominant. Using descriptive qualitative methods, the document data collection technique, Miles and Huberman’s model analysis technique, and analytical template, the researcher identified and analyzed the video transcript, resulting in a total of 253 data, consisting of 5 formal styles, 113 consultative styles, 133 casual styles, and 2 intimate styles. The results show that Bailey Sarian uses informal and flexible language, making the storytelling more engaging, easy to understand, and emotionally resonant, while still maintaining its informative purpose. No frozen language styles were found in the analyzed data. It can be seen that the dominant language style used was casual. This research concluded that the appropriate language style served an important role in the effectiveness of storytelling content on social media such as YouTube.

Abstract

Listening comprehension remains one of the most challenging yet essential skills in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learning. Many students struggle to process authentic spoken input due to limited exposure and lack of metacognitive regulation during listening. This study aimed to examine the relationship between Metacognitive Listening Awareness (MLA) and Listening Comprehension among Indonesian EFL high school students through podcast-based listening activities. Using a quantitative correlational design, data were collected from 72 tenth-grade students at SMA Negeri 26 Batam. Two instruments were employed: the Metacognitive Awareness Listening Questionnaire (MALQ) and a podcast-based Listening Comprehension Test (LCT). Statistical analyses included tests of validity, reliability, descriptive statistics, normality, and correlation. Both instruments demonstrated moderate reliability (α = 0.639 for MALQ; α = 0.616 for LCT). The findings revealed no significant correlation between MLA and Listening Comprehension (ρ = –0.103, p = .390), indicating that higher awareness levels did not necessarily predict better comprehension performance. These results suggest that metacognitive awareness alone is insufficient to enhance comprehension without guided strategy instruction and reflective listening practice. The study highlights the importance of integrating metacognitive strategy instruction within authentic, podcast-based learning to foster autonomous and self-regulated EFL learners.
