Abstract

Newspapers these days tend to be less kind, especially when reporting on elections. Euphemisms can be used because journalistic discourse surrounding elections is essentially political. The purpose of this study is to describe the usage of euphemisms, including their form, meaning, and purpose. In this study, a qualitative descriptive method was employed. This research data is presented as words, phrases, and clauses found throughout the whole news discourse column concerning elections in the daily Jawa Pos issue from November 2023 for 12 discourses. The documentation approach was used to acquire data. The research findings demonstrate that euphemisms in simple words, phrases, and clauses are present in the news discourse regarding the election in the daily Jawa Pos for November. In news discussions around elections, euphemisms typically have meanings related to linguistic refinement and the concealment of unpleasant facts or events.

Abstract

English grammar plays a crucial role in developing writing and speaking skills at the elementary school level. However, students’ grammar mastery varies according to psychological and pedagogical factors that shape their learning engagement. This study aims to analyze the influence of locus of control and learning models on the grammar skills of elementary school students, as well as to examine the moderating role of external locus of control. The research employed a quantitative approach involving 120 students in grades 4–6 at SD Kristen Aletheia Malang. Data were collected using validated and reliable questionnaires and analyzed using Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA). The results show that internal locus of control has a significant positive effect on grammar skills, indicating that students who believe in their own effort tend to achieve better grammar performance. Learning models were also found to significantly enhance students’ grammar ability through increased engagement and structured practice. Furthermore, external locus of control significantly moderated the relationship between learning models and grammar skills, suggesting that students who rely on external reinforcement benefit more from supportive instructional strategies. These findings highlight the importance of considering both student psychological characteristics and appropriate learning models to optimize English learning outcomes in primary education.

Abstract

This research investigates the use of picture media to improve students’ ability to read and understand descriptive texts. The study addresses three main questions: (a) How is picture media implemented to enhance reading comprehension of descriptive texts? (b) How does picture media improve students’ comprehension of descriptive texts? and (c) How does picture media improve students’ overall reading ability? The participants were 25 seventh-grade students of SMP Negeri 2 Kodi Utara, Sumba Barat Daya, who were taught using picture-based learning to support comprehension development. The study employed Classroom Action Research (CAR), conducted in two cycles, with each cycle consisting of planning, action, observation, and reflection. Data were analyzed using descriptive and statistical techniques. The results show a clear improvement in students’ reading comprehension through the use of picture media. This improvement is reflected in the increase from the pre-test mean score of 1.164 in Cycle I to the post-test mean score of 1.936 in Cycle II. These findings indicate that picture media effectively enhances students’ reading ability in descriptive text learning.
