Abstract

This research examines the application of speech acts in the political language of Indonesian President Joko Widodo (Jokowi), focusing on his 2024 Annual Session address at the People’s Consultative Assembly (MPR) RI. Using a qualitative content analysis approach, the study categorizes different speech acts, including assertive, expressive, directive, commissive, and declarative forms. Jokowi's speech, heavily cantered on assertive acts, emphasizes the significance of presenting factual content to strengthen public trust and highlight governmental achievements. His selective use of expressive acts enables an emotional connection with the audience, fostering solidarity and a shared sense of identity. Importantly, the lack of directive and commissive acts reflects the speech’s retrospective and reflective character, fitting the formal context where reviewing past accomplishments outweighs issuing commands or promises. Through speech act theory, this study explores how Jokowi tactfully combines information with emotion to convey authority, empathy, and stability. The integration of hybrid speech acts, such as assertive-expressive forms, enhances the speech's impact by embedding emotional weight into factual statements, promoting deeper audience engagement. This analysis reveals Jokowi’s ability to use language as both a communication tool and a means to shape public sentiment. The findings offer insight into the essential role of language in political discourse, showing how speech acts can consolidate leadership and unity in structured political environments.

Abstract

This study investigates the effectiveness of role-play techniques in enhancing speaking skills and increasing student participation among eleventh graders at SMA Negeri 1 Kayan Hulu. The research was motivated by initial observations that students were reluctant to participate and lacked confidence in speaking activities. Role play was selected as the primary strategy because it offers students opportunities to practice real-life communication in a supportive and engaging environment. Employing a classroom action research design, data were collected through observations, interviews, field notes, and documentation. The findings confirmed the hypothesis that role play would improve both participation and speaking performance. Participation scores rose from 69 in the first cycle to 81 in the second, while speaking performance improved from 54 to 80. The study concludes that role play is an effective method for developing students’ speaking abilities and encouraging greater classroom participation. It is recommended that teachers implement role play regularly using varied scenarios, engage in professional development, conduct periodic evaluations, and involve students in scenario creation to maximize the method’s effectiveness.
