Abstract

This study aims to analyze the conversations between Mr. Hundert and Sedgewick Bell in The Emperor’s Club through a qualitative case study with genre-based discourse analysis, grounded in Halliday’s Systemic Functional Linguistics. By employing techniques such as framing, foregrounding, backgrounding, and presupposition, the study reveals how linguistic choices reinforce ideological conflicts between moral idealism and pragmatic ambition. The findings suggest that these ideological tensions reflect broader dilemmas in character education, especially relevant to Indonesia’s Kurikulum Merdeka and the Pancasila Student Profile. The study has implications for literature-based pedagogy and ethical development in classroom settings.

Abstract

This community service program aimed to enhance children’s motivation to learn English in Gunung Mas Village through the implementation of a fun learning approach involving a foreign speaker. The approach emphasizes enjoyment, active engagement, and hands-on experience as the core of the learning process. The “Kelas Pelita” program consisted of three interactive sessions focusing on the topics of the alphabet, numbers, colors, fruits and body parts, integrating four main elements: Game-Based Learning (GBL), Communicative Language Teaching (CLT), Total Physical Response (TPR), and the use of digital media. The results showed that students became more enthusiastic, confident, and willing to communicate in English. Direct interaction with a foreign speaker from Yemen provided authentic language exposure and increased students’ curiosity toward English as a global communication tool. Through the fun learning approach, this activity successfully created a positive, interactive, and meaningful learning atmosphere for children in a rural area.

Abstract

This research investigates the use of speech acts by Levi Kane, the main character in the 2025 romantic action-thriller film The Gorge, through the framework of Searle’s Speech Act Theory. The study aims to classify and analyze Levi’s utterances based on their types, forms, and pragmatic levels to understand how language reflects his identity and emotional transformation. Employing a descriptive qualitative method, 170 utterances were analyzed from the film’s official transcript. The utterances were categorized into five speech act types (assertive, directive, commissive, expressive, and declarative), identified as either direct or indirect, and evaluated according to three pragmatic levels: locutionary, illocutionary, and perlocutionary. The findings reveal that assertive speech acts are the most dominant, followed by directives, expressives, and commissives. No declaratives were found, which reflects Levi’s role as an executor rather than a formal authority. Direct speech acts significantly outnumber indirect ones, illustrating his concise and action-oriented communication style. At the pragmatic level, illocutionary acts dominate, suggesting that Levi’s speech is highly intentional and performative. These results indicate that Levi’s speech patterns mirror his shift from a reserved soldier to an emotionally engaged individual. The study highlights how pragmatic analysis can be used to trace psychological depth and character development in film, providing valuable insights for linguists, educators, and scholars of media discourse
