Abstract

This study aims to identify the verbal humor techniques employed by Jake Peralta and explain the function of humor in his interactions with other characters. This study uses a qualitative descriptive method with Berger's (1993) humor technique theory to analyze the verbal humor techniques employed by Jake Peralta and and Nilsen & Nilsen's (2018) humor function theory to analyze the functions of verbal humor used by Jake Peralta. Data were taken from Jake Peralta's dialogues in nine episodes selected purposively. The results show that there are 13 humor techniques, including puns, sarcasm, irony, ridicule, insults, facetiousness, exaggeration, absurdity, ignorance, impersonation, imitation, mimicry, and parody. In terms of the function of humor, it was found that the social function was the most common, followed by the psychological function. Jake Peralta used verbal humor to create a  more relaxed working atmosphere, strengthen relationships with his colleagues, and ease tension in stressful situations. These results show that Jake Peralta's verbal humor is not just entertainment, but also an important communication strategy in building character dynamics and storyline in Brooklyn Nine-Nine.

Abstract

Penulisan artikel ilmiah berbasis skripsi masih menjadi salah satu tantangan bagi mahasiswa karena banyak mahasiswa cenderung memindahkan isi skripsi secara langsung ke dalam artikel tanpa parafrase, pemadatan, dan penyesuaian dengan struktur jurnal. Selain itu, mahasiswa juga masih mengalami kesulitan dalam menyesuaikan naskah dengan template jurnal, memilih jurnal target, serta memahami proses submit artikel melalui Open Journal System (OJS). Kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan kapasitas publikasi mahasiswa melalui pendampingan penulisan artikel ilmiah berbasis skripsi. Metode pelaksanaan kegiatan dilakukan dalam bentuk pelatihan dan pendampingan melalui penyampaian materi, diskusi interaktif, praktik parafrase dan pemadatan isi skripsi, penyesuaian template jurnal, pemilihan jurnal target, simulasi submit artikel, serta refleksi peserta. Evaluasi kegiatan dilakukan menggunakan angket sebelum dan sesudah pendampingan untuk mengukur perubahan pemahaman peserta. Hasil kegiatan menunjukkan adanya peningkatan pemahaman peserta mengenai perbedaan skripsi dan artikel ilmiah dari 32,7% menjadi 87,8%. Pemahaman bahwa artikel tidak boleh hanya berupa copy-paste atau ringkasan skripsi meningkat dari 28,6% menjadi 89,8%, sedangkan pemahaman tentang pemilihan jurnal target meningkat dari 22,4% menjadi 80,6%. Pendampingan ini membantu peserta memahami proses transformasi skripsi menjadi artikel ilmiah, penggunaan template jurnal, dan tahapan submit artikel. Dengan demikian, pendampingan ini terbukti membantu meningkatkan literasi publikasi dan kesiapan mahasiswa dalam mengembangkan skripsi menjadi artikel ilmiah yang lebih sesuai dengan standar jurnal.

Abstract

This research aims to interpret romantic themes in Counting Crows’ Accidentally in Love by revealing the meaning of love in the lyrics of the song. It employs a descriptive qualitative research design to identify and interpret the meaning of the song. The primary data of this research was obtained from Counting Crows’ Accidentally in Love and secondary data from internet webs, journal articles, textbooks, and other online resources. The data was analyzed by using Braun and Clarke’s thematic analysis which consists of six steps: (a) familiarizing with the data; (b) generating initial codes; (c) searching for themes; (d) reviewing themes; (e) defining and naming themes; and (f) producing the report. The data was also interpreted by using Roland Barthes’ semiotic concept: denotation, connotation, and myth. The result of the research reveals that the song describes the author's feeling of being in accidental love when he does not know anything about love before. His feelings and experiences are associated with falling in love unexpectedly, including chaos, happiness, uncertainty, courage, hope, and magic. The meaning of his love in this song is an experience that is unexpected, full of excitement, and sometimes chaotic, but also provides deep meaning and happiness.

Abstract

In higher education context, many students encounter considerable difficulties in improving their literacy skills, which limits their ability to fully engage with course material and reach their academic potential. This study aims to explore how the use of intellectual diaries have significant influence in enhancing the literacy skills of university students enrolled in an English prose course. This study employed a qualitative research design with a case study approach focusing on in-depth examination of a single class of students in their natural classroom setting. The participants in this study were 34 undergraduate students enrolled in an English prose course at a state university located in Makassar city, Indonesia. Data were collected through three primary instruments: intellectual diaries, semi-structured interviews, and classroom observations. Data analysis was conducted using thematic analysis with six steps implementation stages. The findings revealed four key themes in dealing with students’ intellectual diary: enhanced critical thinking, improved reading comprehension and analytical abilities, increased self-reflection and metacognitive awareness, and greater engagement with course material. These findings suggest that intellectual diaries can be a valuable tool for promoting literacy development in higher education. The study's findings contribute to the existing body of knowledge on literacy education by providing empirical evidence of the benefits of intellectual diaries in an English prose course context.

Abstract

This study investigates the extent to which self-affirmation and speaking anxiety influence English oral performance among Indonesian EFL senior high school students. Employing a mixed-methods explanatory sequential design, the research involved 30 eleventh-grade students from SMAIT Wahdah Islamiyah Makassar. Quantitative data were collected through validated questionnaires and speaking assessments, followed by in-depth interviews with five selected participants to gain qualitative insights. Multiple regression analysis indicated that neither self-affirmation nor speaking anxiety significantly predicted speaking performance, although anxiety demonstrated a marginally negative trend. Descriptive statistics showed wide variations in both psychological and performance measures. Meanwhile, qualitative findings revealed that self-affirmation contributed to mental readiness and reduced nervousness, while speaking anxiety often impaired fluency and focus during oral tasks. Thematic analysis emphasized that self-affirmation alone was insufficient to improve performance but played a meaningful emotional regulatory role when paired with consistent speaking practice. The study contributes to the limited body of research on psychological interventions in Indonesian EFL classrooms by offering empirical evidence and context-specific insights. It highlights that while self-affirmation may not yield immediate performance gains, its potential as an affective support mechanism remains valuable. This research fills a gap in current literature by exploring how self-affirmation operates in tandem with anxiety within a high-school EFL setting in Indonesia—a context underrepresented in previous studies.

Abstract

Writing is a complicated psycholinguistic task that changes thoughts inside your head into ordered words. In EFL situations, this process necessitates meticulous coordination of cognitive and linguistic resources, frequently resulting in challenges in lexical retrieval, grammatical encoding, and idea development. This study examines the cognitive processing of language by students when they create imaginative texts inspired by visual stimuli. The study, based on Levelt’s (1999) Model of Language Production, examines the processes of conceptualization, formulation, articulation, and self-monitoring in students’ writing. Thirty-five English Literature students from class B 2022 at Universitas Negeri Makassar took part in the creative writing exercise. Five students with the fewest errors and five students with the most errors were chosen for in-depth semi-structured interviews. The results show that students who do well have better conceptual planning and self-monitoring skills, while those who do poorly have trouble with formulation, especially with choosing words and structuring sentences. The study underscores the significance of psycholinguistic awareness in enhancing EFL creative writing training, focusing on tactics that bolster cognitive control and linguistic accuracy.

Abstract

This community service program aimed to enhance students’ speaking skills through the integration of educational and competitive approaches in English language learning. The program was conducted during English Camp Vol. 2 at UPT SPF SMP Negeri 48 Makassar on April 11–12, 2026, involving 37 junior high school students who were organized into small groups to encourage active learning interactions. The program consisted of two main stages: speech training and an educational-themed English speech competition. The training sessions focused on speech organization (opening, body, and closing), the use of simple linguistic features, pronunciation, intonation, and confidence in public speaking. Subsequently, 30 students participated in the speech competition, where their performances were evaluated using five assessment criteria: comprehension of speech, pronunciation and clarity, fluency and pacing, expression and intonation, and confidence and eye contact. Based on observations during the training sessions and the speech competition, as well as performance assessments using these criteria, the participants demonstrated their ability to apply the basic structure of English speeches, communicate ideas in spoken English, and perform with greater confidence before an audience. The program also created an interactive, communicative, and practice-oriented learning environment that provided meaningful opportunities for students to develop their English-speaking skills.
