Abstract

Hedging is an important rhetorical strategy in political discourse, used to show a degree of confidence and build a positive image of the leader, especially in US Presidential speeches from 1993 to 2021. The purpose of this study is to analyze the role of hedging in building a positive image and understand the variations of its use based on the political context and audience. The method used is a qualitative literature study, with secondary data analysis in the form of speech transcripts and related literature. The main findings show that the use of hedging varies between presidents, where Bill Clinton and Barack Obama use it to maintain credibility and reinforce commitments, while Donald Trump uses it less, but still in a diplomatic context. The research conclusion confirms that hedging has an important role in building a positive image of the leader but should be used with caution so as not to be misinterpreted as uncertainty.

Abstract

The aim of this study is to analyze verbal and non-verbal communication in an English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classroom by using the Sinclair and Coulthard (1975) model of classroom discourse. Although many studies have examined verbal interaction in EFL classrooms, few have discussed how verbal and non-verbal communication work together to support effective learning. To fill this gap, this research focuses on identifying the types and frequency of verbal and non-verbal communication used by the teacher and students during classroom interaction. This study used a descriptive qualitative method. The data were taken from an 80-minute video recording of an eleventh-grade English class at MAS Darul Quran. The recording was transcribed and analyzed based on Sinclair and Coulthard’s framework, which includes three main levels: Exchange (Informing, Directive, Question–Answer), Move (Initiation, Response, Feedback), and Act (Questioning, Explaining, Agreeing, Refusing, Revising, Appraising). The findings show that the classroom interaction was mainly teacher-centered. The teacher dominated the talk through Initiation moves, mostly in the form of questions, explanations, and instructions, while students gave short and simple responses. Feedback was used less often and mostly as short praise or confirmation. The teacher also used various non-verbal behaviors such as gestures, eye contact, movement, and changes in voice tone to direct attention and motivate students. The results suggest that combining verbal and non-verbal strategies can create a more interactive and engaging classroom atmosphere that supports student participation and understanding.
