Abstract

In learning, there are three interrelated dimensions to support the learning, namely the cognitive, affective, and psychomotor dimensions. From these learning dimensions, there are learning styles that are included in the cognitive dimension and motivation are included in the affective dimension of learning. This study aims to find out the relationship and influence of motivation and learning style on learning pattern toward speaking improvement of UMPAR English Education students. The researcher applies a qualitative method with a case study approach based on phenomena among students. The respondents in this study consisted of three third-semester students and three fifth-semester students from the English education department UMPAR. In addition, this study conducted semi-structured interviews with students to understand deeper perceptions. The results of the interviews show that there are various student motivations in improving their speaking skills, namely: to train self-confidence, a sense of competition, to develop more, to gain appreciation, presence of a role model, and the support of other people. Apart from motivation, researchers found a learning style that plays a very important role in student learning, namely the auditory learning style with the highest score in all the VARK learning style test results for respondents. The researcher found that there were four classifications of student learning patterns in improving speaking skills, namely: Experience of applying learning media, social interaction, word notice, monologue habits. The results of the research about the influence of motivation and learning styles on learning patterns toward students’ speaking improvement show that there is a positive influence of motivation and learning styles on student learning patterns in improving speaking skills

Abstract

In this study, there is an explanation of the factors that cause code switching and code mixing. To analyze the factors that cause code switching, researchers use Suwito's theory (in Rulyandi et al., 2014) which divides the factors that cause code switching into 6, namely factors from the speaker, interlocutor, third person, subject matter, evoking a sense of humor, and gensi. While the factors that cause code mixing use Suandi's theory (in Munandar, 2018) which divides the factors that cause code switching into 6, namely factors from speakers, interlocutors, third person, subject matter, evoking a sense of humor, and gensi. The occurrence of code mixing becomes 13, namely the limitations of code use, the use of more popular terms, the speaker and the speaker's personality, the speaking partner, the place of residence and the time when the conversation takes place, mode of conversation, topic, function and purpose, variety and level of speech, the presence of third speakers, subject matter, to generate a sense of humor, and for prestige. Based on the data obtained, there are five code-switching conversations that have four factors from the speakers contained in conversations 1-4 and one factor from presenting the third person found in conversation 5. In conversation 1-4, the causal factor of the speakers, code-switching is used because there is an interest to familiarize the speech partners and speakers who are natives who usually use their local language to communicate daily. While the causal factor in conversation 5, code switching is used because the speech partner repeats the speech of the third person. The factors causing code mixing in this study are found in conversations 6-11. In conversations 6, 9, and 11, code mixing occurs due to the limited use of code by speakers. So, the speaker does not know the equivalent word used so he mixes the code by combining Indonesian with Javanese and vice versa. Then in conversation 7, the factor that causes code mixing is the presence of a third person, so the speech partner presents a third person in the conversation and the third person combines Indonesian with Betawi. Then, in conversation 8, the factor that causes code mixing is the use of popular terms. This happens because it is the age of online business so, people know the terms used in online business. Furthermore, in conversation 10 there are factors that cause code mixing from the speaker and the speaker's personality. This happens because the speaker has the intention to change the conversation to a more relaxed situation. Based on the results of the above research, the most dominant factor causing code mixing is the limited use of code by speakers (Fitriyah, 2020; Ninsi & Rahim, 2020).

Abstract

This study undertook a pragmatic analysis of the 2019 Nigerian Presidential Election-Related Newspaper Cartoons to establish the central issues, their contextual underpinning, the engendering pragmatic acts and strategies and their implication to media, society and politics. It was designed to address the knowledge gap created by extant studies which evaded the appraisal of this slant of political discourse that would provide a better understanding of the political cartoons. To address this issue, the paper adopted the Pragmatic acts theory and the theory of social semiotics to account for the ensuing issues and their semiotic significance. The descriptive research design was adopted with a purposive sampling technique to allow for a qualitative analysis of the data selected for the study. Twenty-five cartoons were purposively selected for this paper. The selection was premised on the critical issues that tainted the general elections of 2019. These were subjected to pragma-semiotic analysis. Three discourse issues were identified – partisan contest, electoral fraud, and corruption. These were constrained by six contexts, which are the contexts of rivalry, game, defeat, victory, corruption, and war with the pragmatic acts of satirizing, warning, and sensitizing, strategically crystalized through the strategies of negative lexicalization of opposition, satirisation of politicians’ identity, and invocation of actor’s precedence. It, therefore, concludes on the note that it takes more than a literal sense to understand the construction of political cartoons of criticism and thus needs conscious efforts to unravel the issues and pragma-semiotic means of decoding them. The study hence recommends that political cartoon studies should be initiated and their proliferation should be censored due to their sensitive construction of reality and its implication for media, politics and society.

Abstract

The study is intended to stylistically analyze a sample of three American military creeds. The study hypothesizes that American military creeds have their own stylistic properties which make them distinct texts, and that the stylistic devices employed in military creeds vary in terms of their frequencies and functions. The study also hypothesizes that military creeds are situationally based, and that the employed stylistic devices have a complementary role. They all contribute together to fulfill the creeds’ aims and convey their intended messages. To achieve the aims of the study, and verify its hypotheses, two types of procedure are followed: theoretical and practical. The theoretical part consists of presenting a theoretical framework of style and stylistics including their historical background, types, approaches, models of analysis, etc. Another theoretical framework is also presented about military discourse and creeds including their historical background, terminology, features, etc. On the other hand, the practical part consists of selecting a sample of three military creeds and analyzing them in the light of Crystal and Davy’s (1969) model which accounts for situational elements. The adopted model consists of five dimensions: individuality, discourse, status, modality, and singularity. The results of analysis show that military creeds have their own distinctive stylistic features. The results also show that the stylistic devices characterizing military creeds have a complementary role in that they all contribute together to achieve the creeds’ aims and convey their intended messages.

Abstract

In general, students need to be able to interact and communicate with one another from all walks of life, whether they are in personal or professional settings. Therefore, it is essential to examine students’ communication skills to ascertain whether they have adequate competence or not. In this regard, this research endeavored to determine the contextual communication competence of 266 Bachelor of Arts in Communication (BA Comm) students in one prime state university in Cordillera Administrative Region, Philippines. Through a quantitative-descriptive research design, one result revealed that BA Comm students are able to use their understanding of successful and appropriate communication patterns in public, meeting, group, and dyad situations with an average level of contextual communication competence. On the same level, BA Comm majors are committed to the field because they have the necessary communication abilities to adapt and improve various communication tactics when conversing with friends, acquaintances, and strangers. Lastly, compared to female BA Comm students, male students are more self-assured and open to communicating in various communication contexts, such as in public, meeting, group, or dyad contexts, as well as with strangers, friends, and acquaintances. Further, BA Comm students see a growth in their level of contextual communication competence as they move through their year levels because of their communication classes and social involvement. Recommendations are also included for future research directions.
