Abstract

This study investigates the types and pragmatic functions of deixis in One Direction’s song “Night Changes.”Using a qualitative analysis content method, the research applies Levinson’s (1983) typology of person, time, place, discourse, and social deixis. The data were collected from the official lyrics and analyzed using Miles and Huberman’s (1994) model of data reduction, display, and conclusion drawing. A total of 39 deictic expressions were identified, consisting of person deixis (22 instances), time deixis (8), place deixis (4), discourse deixis (3), and social deixis (2). The findings show that person deixis is the most frequent, highlighting the narrative perspective and interpersonal involvement between the singer and the listener, while social deixis is the least frequent, reflecting the informal tone of the lyrics. This study demonstrates how deixis constructs narrative flow and emotional engagement in pop lyrics, with practical use in EFL classrooms and translation studies.

Abstract

Despite the importance of speaking skills in communicative English as a Foreign Language (EFL) pedagogy, many undergraduate EFL learners remain silent in speaking courses. Existing research has largely focused on silence among EFL learners in other cultural contexts, leaving a gap in understanding the sociocultural, institutional, and linguistic factors influencing Indonesian university students. This qualitative study employs narrative inquiry to explore the lived experiences of silent undergraduate EFL learners in speaking classes, allowing participants to share personal stories, emotions, and reflections on their silence. Guided by Krashen’s Second Language Acquisition theories and Saville-Troike’s ethnographic framework, the research investigates both the individual and contextual factors of silence. The findings show that silence is influenced by university pedagogical shock, engaging in a silent period and hindered by affective filters, as well as contextual factors such as hierarchical classroom dynamics, authoritarian teaching styles, group-influenced silence, disengagement due to uninteresting topics, and showing respect. This research highlights the need for more supportive and interactive speaking environments in EFL speaking classes and offers practical suggestions for teachers to help students participate more actively.

Abstract

Merdeka Mengajar Platform (MMP) was released to support the implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum. While this platform aims to improve teacher competence and learning effectiveness, research into the extent to which English teachers adopt and practice MMP is limited. Therefore, this study aims to analyze English teacher's beliefs and practices in implementing MMP, identify the alignment and misalignment between beliefs and practices, identify the challenges faced, and explore the strategies used in adapting teaching practices to MMP principles. This research used a qualitative approach with a case study design. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, classroom observations, and analysis of learning documents. The results showed that English teacher has a positive belief in MMP as a useful tool in improving pedagogical skills, facilitating differentiated learning, and enriching teaching methods. However, there were challenges in implementing MMP include low active student participation, limited facility support, and varying levels of teacher understanding of the platform. To overcome these challenges, the English teacher applied strategies such as the use of diverse learning media, differentiated assessments, and intensive communication with parents. The results of this study confirm the need for continuous support in the form of professional training and provision of adequate infrastructure to optimize the use of MMP. Further studies are recommended to examine the long-term impact of MMP on teaching effectiveness and student learning outcomes in English language learning.
