Abstract

Purpose of the study: The purpose of this study is to analyze the types of speech acts used by the character Pooh in the dialogue of the Winnie the Pooh story. This study aims to identify locution, illocution, and perlocution in Pooh's utterances and to understand the functions and effects of the communication produced. Methodology: This study uses a qualitative method with a content analysis approach. Data in the form of Pooh character utterances in Winnie the Pooh were analyzed based on John Searle and J.L. Austin's speech act theory. Data collection techniques were carried out through documentation, with samples selected using purposive sampling. Data analysis refers to the Krippendorff content analysis method. Main Findings: This study found that Pooh used 258 speech acts in 90 dialogues, consisting of locution, illocution, and perlocution. The most dominant illocutionary act was representative (49.6%), while perlocutionary acts were most often used to convince the listener (58.1%). Pooh used more direct speech acts (235 times) than indirect (23 times), indicating a tendency towards more explicit communication in interactions. Novelty/Originality of this study: This study provides a new perspective in the analysis of speech acts in children's literature, especially Winnie the Pooh. This study reveals the communication patterns of Pooh characters that have not been widely studied, as well as their contribution to understanding language strategies in literary texts. These findings can enrich pragmatic studies and support children's literacy-based language learning.

Abstract

Purpose of the study: This study aims to explore and describe the attitudes of 3rd grade students at SMP Nasional Makassar towards learning English as a foreign language, specifically through affective, behavioral, and cognitive aspects of language attitude. Methodology: A descriptive-quantitative approach was used. The data were gathered using a 30-item questionnaire adapted from Abidin et al. (2012), divided into affective, behavioral, and cognitive domains. The instrument employed a five-point Likert scale. Validity and reliability tests were conducted using Excel and correlation analysis. The sample consisted of 90 students selected via quota sampling. Main Findings: The findings show that students have predominantly positive attitudes toward English learning. The mean score reached 94.8, well above the threshold of 70, indicating strong agreement in aspects such as enjoyment, confidence, and the belief that English enhances academic and social development. Affective, behavioral, and cognitive responses supported this positive orientation Novelty/Originality of this study: This study provides empirical insight into the emotional, behavioral, and mental orientations of junior high school students toward English, contributing data from an underrepresented school context in Indonesia. It integrates Islamic values as motivational context and offers a framework for improving curriculum and teaching methods that align with students’ psychological readiness.
