Abstract

 It is inevitable that there are partialities to certain parties, one of which is news related to North Korea. CNN tends to release news by emphasizing negative aspects of North Korea, such as its nuclear program, human rights violations, and restrictive government policies. This study aims to prove the power of CNN as a media in constructing the image of North Korea. This research is qualitative research because the data used is not numerical data. This research uses the three-dimensional theory of Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) by Norman Fairclough. The theory of Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL) by M.A.K. Halliday is also used as a supporting theory to analyze the first dimension of CDA. The results showed that there is a partiality of CNN to the United States in writing news. Starting from the use of verbs that indicate the occurrence of violence, the existence of negative words, and the conflict factors that occur between the United States and North Korea are supporting aspects of the formation of a negative image of North Korea in public.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to explore the interplay between Indonesian celebrity’s controversial issues and the responses of haters as seen in the on-line hate speech. To have a better understanding of the controversies, a case study was applied, in the meantime, the issue of hate speech was viewed from content analysis. The data concerning the celebrity’s life were taken from both printed and on-line media; meanwhile, the ones relating to hate speech were gathered from two mainstream social media platforms: Instagram and Twitter spanning from 2015 to 2022. The results of the study indicate that there are three controversial issues which might bring about hate speech: celebrity’s past controversial marriage life, the status as a divorcee who often changes boyfriends, and the family’s controversies. In addition, haters’ reaction toward those controversial issues were expressed through swearing, the use of euphemism and dysphemism consisting of social, personality, religious insults, satanic expression, provocations, mockery, anger expressions written with capital letters, and accusation for blowing up the reputation relating to family. The hate speech expressed by Indonesian netizens is in serious condition and can influence other aspect of life in society.

Abstract

This research examines the growing interest in language attitudes over recent decades. Focusing on Kluet Raya region, this study explores the regional languages used across various sub-districts and the attitudes of residents toward them. The primary objective of this study is to analyze the geographic distribution and attitudes of local community in the Kluet Raya region toward their heritage languages. The researchers also use linguistic maps to reconstruct areas where Acehnese, Aneuk Jamee, and Kluet languages are spoken within the sub-districts in Aceh Selatan district. This study adopts a qualitative approach in an attempt to gain a comprehensive understanding of community attitudes on language diversity in the region. Twelve participants, selected through purposeful sampling to represent diverse backgrounds, participated in in-depth interviews. Findings reveal a strong positive attitude toward heritage languages, with local languages viewed as equally prestigious across the region. There is also a clear preference for bilingual education that includes both Indonesian and local languages for children in Kluet Raya.

Abstract

This paper presents an integrated approach to English as a Foreign Language (EFL) instruction by embedding minority women’s literature within a five-week curriculum designed to promote both linguistic proficiency and intercultural competence. Grounded in Third World feminist theory, transformative learning, and postcolonial pedagogy, the module engages students in critical analysis of short fiction by Zora Neale Hurston, Alice Walker, Amy Tan, Helena María Viramontes, and Bharati Mukherjee. Each week centers on a thematic focus—memory, matrilineal heritage, diaspora, trauma, and healing—while incorporating explicit language instruction in grammar, vocabulary, discourse, and pragmatics. The curriculum also integrates the Multicultural Teaching Competency Scale (MTCS) and the Developmental Model of Intercultural Sensitivity (DMIS) as tools for assessing teacher preparedness and student growth. Through the synergy of language and literature, this study demonstrates how EFL classrooms can serve as transformative spaces where students develop not only communicative competence but also critical empathy, cultural literacy, and ethical awareness.

Abstract

The present study attempts to investigate the students' responses on the suitability of web-based readability analysis application results using the Systemic Functional Linguistics Framework through lexical density analysis with their level of language proficiency. This study used a qualitative method supported by some descriptive quantifications to analyze the lexical-density indexes of reading texts. Six texts were randomly selected from the reading texts written in five of Cambridge's Books, and nine participants at different levels were purposively selected to verify the accuracy. The findings revealed that the percentages of lexical density indexes of six selected Cambridge Books texts categorized based on the CEFR level used in this study and automatically analyzed by the application follow the complexity standard decided by the book's writers. Furthermore, the students at each level have a positive response to the text tested, as seen in their ability to answer the questions in each text created by the book's writers. This study provides the implication of informing educators to utilize the web-based readability analysis used in this study to help them analyze the text automatically, accurately, and quickly.
