Abstract

Transboundary haze has gained critical attention from global scholars since its impacts on society, economics, and health are prevalent in the mass media. By applying a corpus-ecolinguistics framework, this study examines the discourse of transboundary haze in Indonesian and Malaysian news media, broadcast between 2015 and 2024. This study 1) analyses the themes of transboundary haze news in Indonesian and Malaysian media, and 2) interprets the themes represented in the discourse ecologically. Using corpus analytical tools provided by Sketch Engine, this study examined the corpus keywords, collocations, and concordances. The findings show that, despite some identical themes, Indonesian mass media foreground the fires location, mitigation action, and non-human species impacted by the haze. In contrast, Malaysian mass media focuses on the affected areas and health issues. Both media involved similar strategies to frame the government as the responsible agent for mitigating the fires and haze. Ecologically, the discourse of transboundary haze in Indonesian and Malaysian mass media is ambivalent. In Indonesian media, transboundary haze is regarded as a disaster rather than a conflict due to human activities related to land clearings, whereas Malaysian media captures transboundary haze as a health and pollution issue. The ambivalent discourse is proven by the lack of human activities that cause transboundary haze, even though the media advocates for environmental and health issues as prevalent themes in news broadcasts. Ecologically, this study recommends that mass media emphasize the anthropocentric causes of transboundary haze to raise public awareness about human activities and their environmental consequences.

Abstract

This study examines communication apprehension (CA) and oral presentation strategies among Japanese English as a foreign language (EFL) learner to understand their impact on verbal communication challenges. Despite educational reforms prioritizing communicative competence, Japanese learners face persistent difficulties, particularly in formal contexts like public speaking. A descriptive quantitative design was employed, and a purposive sampling method was used to select a sample of 140 EFL learners from a private Japanese university. Data was collected using the oral presentation strategies inventory (OPSI) and the personal report of communication apprehension (PRCA). Quantitative analysis via SPSS 29 assessed learners’ apprehension levels and strategy use patterns. Findings revealed moderate CA levels, with interpersonal communication inducing the most anxiety and public speaking causing the least. Learners relied heavily on message reduction and alteration (MRA) strategies, simplifying expressions to manage anxiety, while non-verbal (NV) strategies were minimally utilized. Positive correlations between strategy use and CA highlight the potential of targeted strategies to mitigate apprehension. Practical implications include the need to integrate Japanese cultural values into pedagogy to manage CA through collaborative learning, peer assistance, and structured oral activities, while also balancing accuracy with fluency and utilizing technological tools to support language development.
