Abstract

This research investigates the use of illocutionary speech acts in Prabowo Subianto’s speech at the United Nations, aiming to identify the types of illocutionary acts and their functions in political discourse. The study employs a qualitative descriptive approach grounded in pragmatic theory, focusing on the classification of speech acts based on Searle’s framework: representative, directive, commissive, expressive, and declarative. The data were collected from the speech transcript and analyzed through data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal that representative acts dominate the speech 50%, indicating the speaker’s emphasis on conveying facts, beliefs, and social or humanitarian realities. Directive acts account for approximately 23,08%, reflecting efforts to persuade and motivate the audience to take collective action. Commissive acts represent 19,23% of the utterances, demonstrating commitments and promises, particularly concerning Indonesia’s contributions to global peacekeeping and international development. Expressive acts make up around 7,69%, showing emotional engagement and moral concern, while declarative acts are absent, suggesting a focus on persuasion and ethical appeal rather than formal institutional action. The study concludes that Prabowo Subianto’s speech effectively combines informative, persuasive, and ethical strategies, with a strong emphasis on representative and directive illocutionary acts to inform, inspire, and mobilize the international audience. This research contributes to the understanding of pragmatic functions in political discourse and provides insights for speakers, educators, and researchers in applying illocutionary theory to real-world communication. In conclusion, the dominance of representative acts, supported by directive and commissive acts, demonstrates that Prabowo Subianto’s speech functions mainly as a diplomatic and persuasive political discourse aimed at informing, influencing, and fostering international cooperation. This study contributes to the field of pragmatics by providing insight into the use of illocutionary speech acts in political speeches delivered at international forums.

Abstract

This research aimed to determine the effect of using YouTube videos from the channel “Learn English with Bob the Canadian” on students’ vocabulary mastery. Vocabulary is an essential component in learning English because it supports students in developing their language skills, including listening, speaking, reading, and writing. However, many students still face difficulties in mastering vocabulary due to limited exposure and lack of engaging learning media. Therefore, the use of YouTube videos was considered as an alternative learning medium to help students improve their vocabulary mastery.This research used a quantitative approach with a pre-experimental research design. The population of this study was 63 students on tenth grade of Yos Sudarso National High School. The sample consisted of two classes, namely the experimental class 30 and the control class 30 this taken using purposive sampling.The data were collected through vocabulary tests in the form of pre-test and post-test. The data were analyzed using statistical analysis, including normality test, homogeneity test, and Independent Samples T-test.The results of the study showed that the t-test value was –0.867, while the t-table value was 2.001 at the significance level of 0.05 with the degree of freedom (df) 58. Since the t-test value was lower than the t-table value (–0.867 < 2.001) and the significance value was 0.389 which is greater than 0.05, the null hypothesis (H₀) was accepted and the alternative hypothesis (Hₐ) was rejected. This means that the use of YouTube videos “Learn English with Bob the Canadian” did not have a statistically significant effect on students’ vocabulary mastery.However, the descriptive results indicated that both classes experienced improvement in their vocabulary scores after the learning process. Therefore, YouTube videos can still be used as a supporting learning medium to make vocabulary learning more interesting and engaging for students.

Abstract

Language as a social semiotic system is not only manifested through verbal forms, but also through visual, gestural, audio, and spatial modes that work simultaneously in multimodal communication. This study analyzes the application of multimodality—particularly visual design in lecturers' PowerPoint presentations—and its contribution to learning effectiveness in higher education. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, data were collected through slide documentation, classroom observation, interviews, and student perception questionnaires, then analyzed based on representational, interactive, and compositional meanings. The results show that the consistent use of color, typography, layout, images, and diagrams helps structure information, emphasize important concepts, and reinforce lecturers' verbal explanations. Visual functions vary according to context: clarifying abstract concepts in Pragmatics courses and supporting idea development in Cultural Text Writing. Students reported increased understanding, attention, and reduced cognitive load, although text density and visual balance remained challenges. Overall, PowerPoint is effective when visual design is aligned with pedagogical goals and student academic levels.
