Abstract

This study examines the role of media in shaping public perception of the South China Sea (SCS) dispute by analyzing the coverage of CNBC and Kompas during June and July 2020. Utilizing Cicero’s Amplification techniques such as repetition, iteration, word doubling, and gradual intensification. This research explores how these rhetorical strategies reinforce key points and shape narratives. Through a detailed discourse analysis, the study reveals that CNBC focused on global economic impacts and geopolitical rivalry, resonating with an international audience, while Kompas emphasized regional stability and ASEAN’s role, appealing to Southeast Asian readers. The findings highlight the media’s power in crafting compelling and memorable arguments, influencing public opinion on international conflicts. Limitations of the study include the analysis of only two media outlets over a specific period. Future research could expand the scope by including more media sources, extending the timeframe, and examining the impact of social media. Understanding these rhetorical strategies is crucial for policymakers, media professionals, and the public to critically assess media reports and their influence on public perception.

Abstract

The need for creativity in language learning has encouraged teachers to integrate digital tools into writing instruction. However, many students still experience difficulties in generating ideas and developing creativity through traditional writing methods. This study aimed to explore students’ perceptions of using the StoryboardThat application to support creativity in narrative writing. A descriptive qualitative research design was employed. The participants were 20 fourth-semester students of the English Education Study Program at Wijaya Kusuma University Surabaya. Data were collected through a 35-item questionnaire focusing on creativity, motivation, confidence, and writing performance, supported by interviews, classroom observation, and document analysis. The data were analyzed qualitatively to identify recurring themes and patterns. The findings revealed that students perceived StoryboardThat as an engaging and helpful tool that stimulated creative thinking, increased motivation, and made narrative writing more enjoyable. The visual features of the application assisted students in developing story ideas, organizing narratives, and expressing individual writing styles. However, only a limited number of students reported improvement in grammatical accuracy and sentence structure. These findings suggest that StoryboardThat is effective in supporting students’ creativity and motivation in narrative writing, although additional instructional support is required to enhance language accuracy.
