<![CDATA[Vocabulary is one of the English components or sub-skill that must be taught to the students. The vocabulary has the role to develop the four language skills, they are listening, reading, writing and speaking. Many vocabularies that the students have, is the easier for them to develop it, especially in the pandemic era because of COVID-19, the teacher have to use a media like an English song to enrich the students at Mining Department of Engineering Faculty vocabularies. In order that, the purpose of this study was to investigate the use of song as a media whether it is effective or not in teaching vocabulary. The total population of this study involved 92 students but the sample of by using the purposive technique sampling got 20 students in A class as a control and 20 students at B for experimental class. The instrument of this study used multiple choice tests which consist of 20 items. The data was collected by using pre-test and post-test, then followed by analyzing the data based on Arikunto’s theory using descriptive design. As well as the manual computation the result also showed that the score of the t-test was 4.741. The researcher compare that t-table at the degrees of freedom (df) (Nx + Ny)-2 . df = 20 + 20 – 2 = 38. The degree of freedom of 38 is at the competence interval of 0.05 (95%) is 2.024 and 0.01 (99%) is 2.711. the comparison is done between t-test formulated with t-table in which results is 4.741 it is to found that the t-table of “t” indicated: t-test 4.741 > t-table. It means that the mean score of the experimental class was higher than control class. So, the researcher concluded that the use of song “I Love You 3000” is effective in teaching learning English at Mining Department in academic year 2018/2019 and it means that the use of song as an alternative hypothesis (Ha) is accepted.]]>

<![CDATA[Citing other authors works is essential in Research Articles (RAs). The citation is used to support claims academically. The citation is described as a way to interact with the readers and to acknowledge other scholars. Viewing from Appraisal framework developed by Martin and White [1] which is based on Halliday’s interpersonal metafunction, this activity is described as Engagement system. This study focused on exploring acknowledgement, a branch of Engagement system, found in Mechanical Engineering RAs published by Elsevier. Applying qualitative method, the data were taken from five research articles of Mechanical Engineering in 2021. Thus, the data were examined using the framework of Engagement system. What can be highlighted from the results is that the acknowledgment serving as citation may be realized by projection of mental and verbal clauses with limited choice of lexical verbs, such as report, emphasize, propose, realizing both types of process. Nevertheless, the implication of this study may help EAP practitioners in teaching citation of RAs for Mechanical Engingeering learners. ]]>

<![CDATA[The claim that serial verb constructions encode a single event is made with great regularity in the literature on serial verbs but is a claim that I find difficult to test in critical cases (Comrie, 1995). Sasaknese has a lot of serial verbs. This unique feature cannot be easily found in every language. This paper focused on analyzing the notion of ‘single-event’ in Sasaknese V-V constructions. In this study, the X-bar theory is applied to discuss the constituent structure of serial verb constructions. This study used the data of Sasaknese meno-mené native speakers’ utterances by using observation method. The result of the study shows that Sasak serial verb constructions have V-V structure that describe one single event as a single predicate ]]>

<![CDATA[In general, the development of a child's language is separated into two stages: the Pralinguistic and Linguistic periods. The goal of this research is to examine the phonological study of child language acquisition during the linguistic period, which covers vowel and consonant acquisition, as well as factors that influence phonology acquisition. This study looks at the following questions: 1) What factors influence a child's phonological acquisition during the language period? 2) How does a four-year-old learn voices and consonants? 3) What is the reason for the child's phonological acquisition? This study used a case study approach to qualitative research. The data was gathered by observation, documentation, and interviews from the utterances of a 4-year-old named TRS. Meanwhile, phonological analysis was used to examine the data. TRS has mastered vocal phonemes since she was two years old, according to the findings of this study. The consonant [r] and its vibrating sound have yet to develop and be mastered. The lack of a proper pronunciation of TRS is partly to blame for the formation of significant differences in the acquisition of TRS phonology. In other words, the TRS language's phonological acquisition has not yet achieved its peak. ]]>

<![CDATA[The United States' war on terror effort, which began after the devastating assaults on the World Trade Center (WTC) and the Pentagon on September 11, 2001, has lasted until now. Even under Trump's presidency, U.S. foreign policy toward the Muslim world, particularly in the Middle East, has had little impact on global political stability. The latest tensions between the U.S. and Iran have proved that the "war" is still ongoing. This study aimed to analyze Donald Trump's speech concerning all of his statements referred to Iran's nuclear weapons and the related issues in the Islamic world. It also sought to investigate Donald Trump's explicit/stated and implicit/unstated agenda on Iran and the Islamic world. This research engaged with Qualitative Case Study as its framework and NVIVO Pro 12 application (Computer-Assisted Analysis) for its linguistic inquiry. As long as the United States' foreign policy toward the Muslim world stays intact, Iran will not be allowed to develop nuclear weapons, and neither will all Islamic countries. The term "terrorist" was a great strategy for reason to interfere in a country to carry out its main agenda.]]>

<![CDATA[The pandemic of Covid-19 has had an impact on education. Because of the presence of the corona virus, face-to-face teaching-learning activities have been hampered. One of them is the use of an online classroom in which teachers or lecturers engage verbally with students. The examination of speech function can reveal verbal interaction. The purpose of this research is to look at Speech Function in online Structure and Speaking programs. This study looks into: 1) speech function classification in online Structure and Speaking classes; 2) how speech function is implemented in online Structure and Speaking classes; and 3) why speech function is implemented in online Structure and Speaking classes. The data for this study was gathered through qualitative research from the discourse of lecturers and students in online Structure and Speaking classes. Content analysis and Speech Function analysis were used to examine the data. The speech function can be used to evaluate 32 utterances in the Structure online classroom. Statement has 56.3 percent, Question has 34.3 percent, Offer has 3.1 percent, and Command has 6.3 percent, according to the Structure class statistics. The data from the first question of the speech function of statement in the online speaking class is 100 percent accurate. It is because the inquiry is a form of experience-based self-opinion, and many claims require data to reinforce their answers. The second question is statement (67.8%), with command coming in second at 30.3%.]]>
