Abstract

The political statements of prospective presidential candidates in the Republic of Indonesia (RI) in the pre-election period of 2024, in 2023, constitute texts of political contestation (PC) loaded with ideology. This research examines those PC texts. The texts are based on the respective ideologies of each presidential candidate. More specifically, this study investigates the ideologies of the presidential candidates, the linguistic realization used to express those ideologies, and the reasons behind the use of ideology and its linguistic realization. This research employs a qualitative descriptive design. Data collection tools included observation, document analysis, and interviews. The data sources were KP texts from three presidential candidates: Anies Rasyid Baswedan, Ganjar Pranowo, and Prabowo Subianto, obtained from newspapers, television, and social media platforms such as WhatsApp, Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook. The data, in the form of KP texts, were analyzed using the framework of systemic functional linguistic theory (SFL) as developed by Halliday (2014) and other SFL experts. The research findings indicate that, in addition to similarities, the three presidential candidates have differences in leadership ideology, the linguistic realization of that ideology, and the causes or reasons used. The theoretical contribution of this research enriches applied linguistic theories, especially political discourse analysis (PDA), and simultaneously benefits voters in the 2024 election by helping them understand the ideologies of presidential candidates. This understanding can solidify their decision to vote for a specific candidate, thus reducing the social friction that always occurs during elections in Indonesia.

Abstract

This study aimed to develop digital learning materials that integrate local wisdom and character education for the Receptive Oral Language Skills course in the English Education Study Program at Universitas Negeri Medan. Using a Research and Development (R&D) model, the study followed several stages: preliminary study, needs analysis, material design, expert validation, revision, and final product development. Data were collected through questionnaires, interviews, and expert evaluation forms, and analyzed both qualitatively and quantitatively to assess the materials’ quality and feasibility. The developed digital materials were designed to enhance students’ receptive oral skills while embedding character values and local cultural elements from North Sumatra. Expert validation, conducted by specialists in English education, instructional media, and local culture, evaluated linguistic quality, learning process, content integration, and digital design. The results showed an overall score of 91.75%, categorized as “very good.” The final product is a set of digital learning materials that combine cultural relevance, character education, and interactive features to support meaningful learning in Receptive Oral Language Skills. The findings imply that integrating local wisdom and character values into digital learning resources can not only enhance language comprehension but also foster students’ cultural awareness, moral development, and appreciation of local identity. This approach offers a model for culturally responsive and value-oriented language instruction in higher education.
