Abstract

This study presents a socialization activity that introduced the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) to 11th-grade students in the TKJ program at SMK Nusantara Tanah Jawa. This initiative aimed to raise awareness of the TOEFL test format, its importance, and its relevance to academic and career development. A qualitative descriptive approach was used, involving 16 students through a structured program consisting of preparation, implementation, and evaluation stages. Findings indicated that most students were initially unfamiliar with the TOEFL, especially the listening component. However, this socialization activity effectively increased students' understanding and interest in English learning, especially in the listening section. Challenges such as low prior knowledge and limited engagement were addressed through simplified explanations and interactive sessions. Overall, the activity contributed positively to improving students' English language competence and motivation, preparing them to understand the TOEFL listening section for global academic and professional demands.

Abstract

This study examines how the Sibolga flood is represented in Indonesian online news media by applying Norman Fairclough’s Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA). Using a qualitative approach, the data consist of two online news articles reporting the same flood event, published by CNN Indonesia and Liputan6 within the same time period. The analysis follows Fairclough’s three-dimensional framework, encompassing textual analysis, discursive practice, and social practice. The findings reveal notable differences in the linguistic and discursive strategies employed by the two media outlets. CNN Indonesia tends to emphasize severity, casualties, and urgency through evaluative lexical choices and dramatic headlines, positioning the flood as a major humanitarian crisis. In contrast, Liputan6 focuses more on infrastructural recovery and institutional responses, framing the disaster within a narrative of control and normalization. These differing representations reflect distinct ideological orientations and power relations, particularly in relation to state institutions and public audiences. The study concludes that online disaster reporting is not neutral but functions as a discursive site where meaning, responsibility, and social reality are constructed. This research contributes to Critical Discourse Analysis and media studies by highlighting how language shapes public understanding of disasters in Indonesian online news.
