Abstract

Addressing refers to the words or phrases used by speakers to address interlocutors during a conversation. It plays a significant role in communication, reflecting various social factors such as hierarchy, familiarity, and politeness. This study examines the types of addressing used by Najwa Shihab in the Mata Najwa Show, focusing on how different address terms are employed in formal settings. A descriptive qualitative approach was used, analyzing data from three episodes of the show, sourced from Najwa Shihab’s YouTube video titled “Ironi Korupsi Kala Pandemi.” The findings revealed four types of addressing: first names, kinship terms, titles, and special nicknames. Among these, kinship terms were most frequently used. The study also identifies that the choice of addressing terms was influenced by factors such as social status, age, politeness, and the degree of closeness between the speaker and the interlocutor. The results suggest that addressing practices in formal settings are complex and context dependent. Future research could explore how cultural contexts and power dynamics influence addressing practices in media discourse.

Abstract

Language not only reflects but also shapes societal roles, and in Little Women, the way women express themselves through language offers a powerful lens into their social realities. This study examines the linguistic representation of women using eight varieties of women’s language in the Little Women movie. The central problem of this research is to identify which features of women’s language are employed by the main female characters based on their social context. A qualitative descriptive approach was adopted, analysing data from the movie’s dialogues and its script. The analysis was grounded in Lakoff’s (1975) theory of women’s language features. The findings show that not all varieties of women’s language are employed by the main characters. Jo, the central character, utilized eight features, including lexical hedges (48.6%), empty adjectives (1.3%), intensifiers (8.5%), hypercorrect grammar (1%), rising intonation on declaratives (18.4%), and super polite forms (10.9%). Tag questions and precise color terms were not used. Furthermore, the use of these linguistic features is closely connected to the social conditions and gender roles in their society.

Abstract

This study explores the supporting and inhibiting factors in EFL teachers' implementation of learning style-based strategies, focusing on Miss I, an EFL teacher at SMAN 2 Pangkep. The research aims to identify how Miss I accommodates students' diverse learning styles and the challenges she faces in doing so. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, the study involved classroom observations and interviews with Miss I and her students. Thematic analysis was employed to analyze the data. Findings indicate that Miss I’s willingness to adjust her teaching methods based on student engagement, along with the positive student attitudes and basic resources such as textbooks with pictures and mobile phones, played a key role in her ability to accommodate different learning styles. However, inhibiting factors included her lack of formal training in learning styles and differentiated instruction, limited classroom facilities, and passive student participation. Despite these challenges, Miss I demonstrated flexibility and creativity in her approach, though the absence of adequate training and resources limited her full capacity to address all students' needs. The study recommends future research on the impact of teacher training programs for differentiated instruction and exploring the integration of technology to support diverse learning styles in resource-constrained classrooms.
