Abstract

This paper was written to find out what aspect should be used by a teacher in communicative strategy in teaching  speaking. The aspects consist of grammatical competence, socio linguistic competence and strategic competence. Grammatical competence is an ability to produce and to understand correct syntactic, lexical and phonological forms of a language, socio-linguistic  competence means the use of language context and strategic competence is an ability to transmit information t the listeners. Theoretically, these three aspects show that they cannot be separated from one another in teaching speaking, since they are integrated to each other in communicative strategy. Therefore, it is suggested that the implementation of three aspects be done by a teacher in achieving the main objective of teaching.

Abstract

Jakabaring PLTS on-grid with a capacity of 2 MW operates from 6:00 am to 5:00 pm. At 5:00 pm the PLTS connection to the load will be disconnected and replaced with PLN. If the PLN is off due to damage or during maintenance, a generator that is operated manually will be used. Problems in the process of combining energy sources from Solar Panels to PLN require a power target of up to 10 Kva where if the power is fulfilled then the energy source from Photovoltaic (PV) will be connected to PLN and vice versa. Errors and speed in operation can be minimized by means of automation of the system operating the power supply to the load by using a PLC (Programmable Logic Controller). Optimization as a step to optimize the electricity supply in the PLTS area makes it the first source of power generation that is connected to the load, the second order is PLN if the PLTS has no power output or there is a problem and the third order is generators if PLN and PLTS have no power output. For this reason, a tool is needed that functions to move the power source alternately using a PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) as an ATS (Automatic Transfer Switch) process controller, where the tool will work automatically changing the power source if there is a disturbance that causes it to be unable to supply electricity to the user's load and also as a priority regulator of solar power sources as the main source of electricity to the load. When transferring loads from one source to another with 3 different power sources, it is faster and more effective to use an ATS (Automatic Transfer Switch) with a PLC controller compared to Manual or COS (Change Over Switch).

Abstract

Websites for hotels are essential sources of information for prospective guests. Because of this, their readability and appeal are crucial to hotel internet marketing. The objective of this study is to gain insight into the linguistic strategies utilized by hotels for online promotion. This study initially introduces an analytical framework grounded in appraisal theory to elucidate the underlying mechanisms employed by hotels to foster interpersonal interactions. This framework is subsequently employed to analyze the online linguistic strategies utilized by the five-star hotels in Palembang. The overall linguistic strategy is found, along with the hotels' preference for using it. This study employed a descriptive qualitative methodology, analyzing samples from hotel websites in Palembang based on their usage of language style. The findings indicated that metonym, hyperbole, metaphor, personification, simile, and synecdoche are the language types that the hotel frequently uses to entice readers to stay there with metaphor as the most dominant. In conclusion, one of the most important parts of making ads is using language style, which means changing the meaning of words and using figurative language to make them more fun to read.

Abstract

This research analyzed the English slang in the SCREAM VI movie through a sociolinguistic framework focusing on Chapman's primary and secondary slang. Teenage characters for group identity widely use primary slang while secondary slang conveys attitudes and serves as a covert code. The qualitative descriptive method reveals that slang in SCREAM VI creates informality, expresses rebellion, and provides in-group exclusivity. The researchers collected the data by watching the film SCREAM VI, downloading the movie script, and extracting the slang words used in it. The findings highlight the dynamic role of slang in reflecting social dimensions and cultural values within youth subcultures towards the primary and secondary slang found. It is expected that future research explores slang across different media and cultural contexts to further understand its evolution and functions.
