Abstract

As educators, lecturers should integrate sufficient reading materials that could foster not only students’ reading comprehension, critical thinking, or vocabulary mastery, but also local wisdom awareness. Thus, this research focuses on integrating local wisdom, Berau Folklore, into English learning. Specifically, this research aims to: (1) describe the planning stage for using Berau folklore to enhance student’s awareness about local wisdom, (2) explain its use in English practice and media preparation, (3) explain the assessment process, and (4) evaluate its effectiveness as reading material. This study employs exploratory sequential mixed method design. The instruments used were interview, classroom observation, document analysis, and tests. The interview was constructed based on the theory of Bamford and Day (2004) whereas the observation was adopted and modified from Ferdila (2014). The pre-test and post-test were given to 15 tertiary students at STITM Tanjung Redeb, Berau who took the  Extensive Reading class. The implementation of Berau folklore into reading class, involved the stages of pre-reading, while-reading, and post-reading. However, the tests scores indicate that the use of Berau Folklore is considered ineffective as reading materials for tertiary students. Particularly, it did not significantly increase students’ vocabulary. Thus, this study can be a reference for further researchers to find and employ another learning material other than folklore to foster students’ vocabulary mastery and cultural awareness.

Abstract

This study examines the manipulation of the text in Frances Hodgson Burnett's English novel "The Secret Garden," translated as "Taman Rahasia." This study aimed to determine whether the translator made specific manipulations during the translation, identify the types of manipulations present in the Indonesian translation, and evaluate the translation quality. The study belongs to qualitative research, which focuses on identifying text manipulations when translating to Indonesian. The analysis involved identifying text-internal manipulations, as arranged by Dukate (2007), which included alterations at the level of words, phrases, clauses, sentences, and paragraphs. The research's result found that three types of six text-internal manipulation were present in the Indonesian translation. The most frequent type of manipulation was conscious handling, with the translator frequently using the reduction/deletion technique proposed by Molina and Albir to modify the target text. It was observed that the translator mainly omitted unnecessary information from the source text due to cultural and linguistic considerations. Based on the findings, the quality of translation is good, which has been proved by the highest frequency for accuracy, readability, and acceptability in score 3. This study can also contribute to the implications for teachers and students in a classroom setting as they explore the translation of literary works for learning English, introduce the language culture in English and Indonesia, and realize what aspects may lead to manipulation in translating text.

Abstract

This study investigates the challenges faced by teachers in teaching English to students with special needs, using a descriptive case study design. Two teachers of a special school participated by sharing their teaching experiences through questionnaires and structured interviews to provide detailed insights. There were six steps of data analysis, including extensive transcription review, generation of initial codes, theme identification, theme analysis, theme definition and naming, and report creation. Three key research topics emerged, highlighting the persistent difficulties special education teachers face. The findings show that English teachers faced some challenges, including a lack of awareness, a lack of teaching materials, a lack of special needs teachers, and a poor teaching environment. It indicates that teachers require professional training to enhance their teaching effectiveness and must take the initiative in self-educating about special education. Teachers are also expected to have high initiative to educate themselves about special education and continue to strive to apply effective teaching methods. The government is also responsible for supporting adequate teaching facilities and preparing the best teachers, such as providing professional training for teachers who teach in special schools.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the realization of expressive speech acts in the comment section on Nessie Judge's YouTube channel using Searle's theory. Three top conspiracy videos were the object of the research. Data were collected from three selection video comment sections, with comments identified, classified, interpreted, and verified for patterns in expressive speech. Illocutionary Force Indicating Devices (IFIDs) were applied to categorize the comments based on the performative verb of each utterance. The findings categorized the comments into different types of expressive speech acts, such as thanking, apologizing, congratulating, praising, sorrow, and blaming. The analysis revealed that expressions of praising were the most dominant, accounting for 81 utterances. These expressions served to appreciate and acknowledge the quality of the content produced. Several factors contributed to the prevalence of praise, including high video quality, simplifying complex concepts, and fulfilling viewer expectations. Expressions of apology were the least frequent, occurring only 35 times. This study can contribute to education by deepening our understanding of how emotions and attitudes are expressed through language, a crucial aspect of effective communication. This research provides concrete examples of language use in digital contexts by analyzing expressive speech acts in YouTube comment sections. This knowledge can be applied to digital literacy and online communication training, empowering students to navigate and participate in online communities more effectively.

Abstract

Improper communication, such as insults or bad language, is a communication problem. It may harm or threaten others in various situations. Positive politeness strategy can be used as the communication strategy to avoid face-threatening acts (FTA) and make the interlocutors feel comfortable. We examined positive politeness strategies used by male and female speakers in educational TED Talks speech videos and explained the differences between male and female speakers on the use of positive politeness. The  strategies were analyzed using Brown and Levinson's (1988) politeness theory. This study used discourse analysis with pragmatic approach. Data was obtained from four educational TED Talks speech videos with two male and two female speakers. There were several stages to analyze the data using discourse study, including data identification, data categorization, data interpretation, conclusion drafting and verification. The findings suggest that male speakers often giving or asking for reasons in speeches to explain why they did it. Women often joked in their speeches to relaxed audiences and put them at ease. Also, joking strategy were applied differently by male and female speakers in delivering speeches. The female speaker had to explain the contexts and describe the images, whereas the male speaker was more spontaneous and fun. The findings of this study showed how male and female speakers use the appropriate utterances when delivering their speech in front of the audiences. Positive politeness strategies are used by the speakers to show their interest, build togetherness, and avoid conflict. Besides, the findings of this study can show the speakers’ ability in pragmatic competence by looking at their language use in specific context.

Abstract

This study analyzes impoliteness strategies in online political discourse, specifically focusing on the comments made by Indonesian netizens on TikTok regarding the presidential and vice-presidential candidate pairs. This research employed a qualitative descriptive approach to portray the phenomenon of impoliteness in the digital realm, especially in political interactions within the context of Indonesia’s presidential election. The study applied Culpeper’s (1996) theory of impoliteness strategies, and the data were collected from the Indonesian presidential election, specifically from TikTok accounts. Comments were gathered from the Anies-Muhaimin, Prabowo-Gibran, and Ganjar-Mahfud pairs. The data used in this study consisted of 60 instances of dark humor found across three TikTok accounts of presidential and vice-presidential candidates, which were then analyzed according to five categories of impoliteness strategies: bald on record impoliteness, positive impoliteness, negative impoliteness, sarcasm or mock, and withhold impoliteness. The results show that dark humor is most commonly conveyed through sarcasm or mock (35%), followed by positive impoliteness (28.3%), negative impoliteness (20%), bald on record impoliteness (16.7%), and no instances of withhold impoliteness. Thus, the findings contribute to understanding how impoliteness strategies are used by netizens to express political criticism or opinions online and their impact on political discourse in Indonesia. By understanding impoliteness, we will better appreciate politeness on social media and in person.
