Abstract

This study explores the role of language in shaping the political identities of public figures through social media platforms. Employing Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA), the research investigates how political figures use linguistic strategies such as framing, metaphors, and modality to construct and reinforce their political personas. The analysis focuses on political discourse across three major platforms—Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram—examining how each platform's unique features influence the linguistic strategies employed. The study reveals that framing is the dominant strategy used by political figures to position themselves ideologically, while metaphors are frequently employed to evoke strong emotional responses and engage followers. Modality, particularly the use of modal verbs, plays a critical role in asserting authority and managing public expectations. The research also highlights the differences in communication styles across platforms and ideologies, showing how conservative and progressive political figures tailor their language to appeal to specific audiences. This study contributes to the understanding of how political figures use language as a tool for identity construction and public engagement in the digital era.

Abstract

Background: Despite living in the modern era, the level of Indonesian students’ technology literacy is still low, especially in the stage of junior high school. Aim: This research attempts to investigate what 21st century English as Foreign Language (EFL) textbook need in order to develop students’ technology literacy since the book is the most recognized medium for learning and being technology literate will also help students learn English better. Method: The textbook chosen for this research is the one published by the Ministry of Education, When English Rings a Bell, for grade 8 of junior high school. As for the data, they were taken from every chapter’s directions. They were analysed by implementing content analysis to detect the presence of technology literacy indicators in the textbook’s directions. Findings: Based on the results of the analysis, EFL textbook directions need the author’s initiative to modify them so that they can fit the ICT development indicators by adding more sentences related to applying presentation software usage and sharing information through online platforms. It is because the more literate the students in operating, accessing, managing, integrating, and evaluating modern technologies, especially ICT, the bigger their chances become in learning English successfully.
