Abstract

The research was conducted to find the perceptions of English teachers and students toward the use of authentic reading materials in schools. The study was conducted at three junior high schools in Pamekasan. A research survey was employed with seven steps: (1) Questionnaire Development and Validation; (2) Try-Out; (3) Questionnaire Distribution; (4) Data Analysis; (5) Interview; (6) Result; and (7) Conclusion. In collecting the data, two kinds of instruments, consisting of a close-ended questionnaire, were distributed via Google form to six English teachers and 73 students in grade nine, and an interview with the English teachers was conducted. Using SPSS for data analysis, the results showed that 83.3% of teachers strongly agreed that authentic materials are up-to-date and relevant to everyday life, with an average score of 3.8 on a 4-point Likert scale. For students, 75.3% agreed that authentic materials increased their interest in reading English texts, with an average score of 3.1.  The research findings revealed that authentic reading materials in the ninth grade had various advantages; the material taught is easy to understand, up-to-date, relevant to everyday life, increases the students’ motivation, and mastering vocabulary. Meanwhile, there were various disadvantages; students still feel sluggish when they must read the assigned text; they require more time to grasp the text; it is difficult to locate appropriate authentic material for students; and students hope that teacher will leave the class soon. In conclusion, while authentic reading materials present certain challenges, their benefits in enhancing student engagement and motivation outweigh the drawbacks. Teachers can address these challenges by implementing a variety of solutions to improve the teaching and learning process.

Abstract

Studio Ghibli has made great animated films for more than three decades. One of its great animators is Hayao Miyazaki. Being famous for his award-winning and picturesque films, Miyazaki has proven to be a highly skilled animator presenting a catchy shōjo with distinctive characters. His shōjo named Kiki in Kiki’s Delivery Service has peculiar traits. This research aims at proving the opposition of Kiki to the common Japanese female character archetype. Eight pieces of data are in the form of screen captures to be studied semiotically. As part of social science research, this study is qualitative in nature. By employing Barthesian semiotic theory and Sugawa-Shimada’s theory of shōjo, it is evident that Kiki opposes the archetype of Japanese female characters. Kiki is portrayed as independent, assertive, not depending on one specific type of magical weapon, wearing a simple black witch dress, able to make prompt and clear decisions, doing daily chores, and having magical power that might be gone anytime due to some psychological reasons. Theoretically, this study contributes to the development of the linguistic field, particularly the stream of semiotics. This research also benefits researchers, film-makers, film audiences, and Studio Ghibli’s enthusiasts in a semiotic way that Kiki as shōjo is constructed with great empowerment opposing the common stereotype of a female character.

Abstract

People engage in various types of discourse every single day. With everyone’s differences in attitudes, beliefs, and behaviours, persuasion is a skill that comes into play. Therefore, it is essential to develop an ability to analyze persuasive messages encountered critically (Borchers, 2005) and, hence, master the art of persuasion. This study, which delves into the rhetoric of former Philippine President Rodrigo Roa Duterte (PRRD), has yielded significant findings. Several speeches of PRRD have been scrutinized numerous times through Discourse Analysis (DA). Many researchers have employed Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA), while only a few have attempted to employ Rhetorical Discourse Analysis (RDA). Hence, the researcher conducted this study to enrich the literature on RDA further in PRRD’s speeches. In this study, the researcher conducted an RDA on the speech of PRRD entitled “Nation Address of President Rodrigo Roa Duterte on Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) Pandemic” to identify and investigate the rhetorical devices and rhetorical elements found in the text which significantly played in generalizing the type of rhetoric the former President Duterte is. As revealed, PRRD used rhetorical devices such as description, personal pronouns, modals, cause-effect relationships, repetition, and evidence and authorities. Moreover, he also employed the three rhetorical elements such as logos through a cause-effect relationship, ethos through his Filipino citizenship, local or ethnic origin, and experiences being the president, and pathos through the display of varied emotions such as fear, sympathy and empathy, love and affection, respect, trust and assurance, and pity. In conclusion, PRRD is presented as a rhetor who utilizes the appeal of fear to exemplify his arguments, which are evident in the rhetorical devices and rhetorical elements in his speech.

Abstract

A major challenge for second language learners on academic programmes is how they develop their writing abilities. This study uses the framework of process writing (Flower & Hayes, 1981; Hayes, 2012)  and an autoethnographic research design data construction (Starfield, 2020; Yazan et al., 2020) to explore how one-second language learner changed how they planned their assignments and responded to feedback from their tutors on a one-year MA programme.  Working with a critical friend, the author-researcher draws on six data sets: assignment briefs, guidance provided by lecturers, the author/researcher’s outlines/plans for the assignments with comments from lecturers, notes on journal articles and textbooks, feedback from lecturers and personal reflections on the writing process. The author/researcher’s development became more sophisticated in locating/ using sources and structuring her writing with language feedback impacting writing strategies rather than language knowledge.  Her writing development was influenced by contextual features, particularly non-academic factors that limited the time she had for writing, and the structure of the assessment on her programme scaffolded her writing in terms of increasing the length of assignments and the use of the author/researcher’s own experience.

Abstract

Creating the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), with its motto, one vision, one identity, and one community, holds an integral role in unifying Southeast Asian countries. With this, there is a need to achieve a united branding. Lerman, Morais, and Luna (2018) elaborate on the importance of being aware of the relationship between language and culture, which aids in creating a brand language that mirrors the culture of their target customers. With this study, brand advertisers can learn the importance of language branding and the differences in the language used to achieve a united ASEAN branding. In understanding ASEAN’s branding, Grey’s Language Style Theory was employed in the different pre-pandemic and post-pandemic tourism slogans, focusing on the syntactic and lexical features using the descriptive method. The study's findings demonstrate that most syntactic forms of post-pandemic slogans have changed from phrases to sentences. It also reveals that most of the post-pandemic slogans used short sentences and simple, colloquial, and imperative language in their syntactic features. Most of the post-pandemic tourism slogans were modified for the lexical features to use simple vocabulary, glamorization, and repetition. Furthermore, the post-pandemic slogans suggest a more enthusiastic ASEAN tourism branding centered on passion, wonder, and love.

Abstract

Transitivity is pivotal in comprehending the precise meaning of song lyrics to effectively convey the messages communicated through the language used in songs. However, transitivity analysis in lyric songs has received substantial attention from academics worldwide, there remains a notable dearth of studies focused on Batak Toba song lyrics, particularly those addressed to children. This research sought to look into how efficient transitivity usage can improve the overall meaning and guidance in song lyrics. It also investigated the relationship between language and culture in Batak Toba song lyrics and how this relationship is reflected in the daily lives of the Batak Toba community Using interactive data analysis and descriptive qualitative methods influenced by Miles, Huberman, and Saldana (2014), this study systematically examined twenty examples of song lyrics to determine the prevalence and variability of transitivity, as well as the relationship between language and culture. The data were analyzed using transitivity as a component of ideational function in Halliday's (2014)’s meta function model. The results showed that songwriters used a range of transitivity elements to convey their ideas. The most frequently used of types of process was the material process, which accounted for 47,8% of all uses. The actor participant, was the most frequently used, accounting for 47,4% of all uses, while the circumstance of location was the most prevalent accounting for 37%. This study highlighted the significance of transitivity analysis in song lyrics and provided valuable insights for songwriters and children. It is essential to comprehend how language and culture interact when communicating ideas through song lyrics. In this context , the message delivered through language in song lyrics is influenced by culture. Therefore, songwriters must consider cultural elements when arranging each word in song lyrics to ensure that the intended message is understood and attracts the audience’s interest. Further researches are required to examine the importance of the transitivity system in song lyrics across various cultures to provide diverse perspective on song lyrics.

Abstract

Over the past few years, genre studies in research article abstracts have prompted the interest of numerous researchers. However, the scope of genre analysis in studying the abstracts of review articles is highly restricted. Thus, offering a structured framework as guidelines for the writers can serve as a resolution to the issue. The objective of this study is to examine the composition of abstracts in review articles within the fields of health information and nursing. To this end, a total of 100 abstracts were chosen from articles published in prestigious international journals. The present study utilised Soy, Arsyad, and Syafryadin’s (2023) five-move model. A slight modification was introduced in the present study by including the Result move separated from the Discussion move. The results identified six moves: Background, Objective, Method, Result, Discussion, and Conclusion. The method move (M3) was obligatory in nursing, while the objective move (M2) was obligatory in health information. Then, Background-Objective-Method-Result-Conclusion was the most frequent sequence in the two subdisciplines. As a practical implication, novice writers might consider using the fundamental principle of rhetorical move structure while writing an abstract for a review article. The present study can potentially serve as a basis for further studies.

Abstract

Drawing on the notion of the contact zone (Pratt, 1991), this qualitative case study investigates the construction of self in the academic writing of three Indonesian novice writers. Its aims are twofold: (a) to explore how students constructed self in academic writing, including the way they negotiated tensions between their expectations and their teachers, as well as the challenges posed to their writing self in the presence of the dominant discourse, and (b) to identify possible rhetorical postures of their texts. Data were obtained via writing conferences, field notes, and participant observations and analyzed using thematic coding.  Results show that the self was constructed by (a) venerating established authorities, (b) depersonalizing knowledge, (c) personalizing knowledge, and (d) through discursivity and linearity. As for the rhetorical postures, different constructions of self in writing yield different rhetorical postures, which can be classified as either discordant or coherent potential. This study concludes that the self as the aspect of identity is invariably unstable, ambivalent, and even conflictual, as it always undergoes changes over time motivated by the dynamics of social contexts of writing. So construed, writing can no longer be treated as a value-free and autonomous activity devoid of one’s values, preferential biases, beliefs, and allegiances to realities.

Abstract

The politeness, dignity, serenity, and tranquillity should be reflected by the investigator without violence during the interrogation process. This study aims to identify the Forensic Conversational Implicature (FCI) found in a police interrogation of a murder case. A qualitative method with a philosophical approach was used, and Forensic Discourse Analysis was used as an analytical framework. A documentation study method was used to collect the data in the form of an interrogation video obtained from the Explore with Us YouTube channel. Utterances that are indicated as implicature are the data taken from the interrogation video, particularly in murder cases that happened in the U.S. In analyzing the data, deductive content analysis was applied. The results show that two types of FCI are found in this study, with particularized conversational implicature as the most dominant since it requires certain background knowledge and context to understand the investigator’s utterances. Meanwhile, generalized took second place as it does not require specific context knowledge to determine the additional conveyed meaning of several investigators’ utterances. Moreover, the reasons behind the realization of CI are under two themes, namely, gaining trust and humanity.

Abstract

Transformations refer to the changes and adaptations occurring when a text is rendered from one language to another. These transformations can involve several aspects of the source text and its rendition into the target text, including how the issue is transferred. One of those issues in the source text is the portrayal of women objectification. Women objectification expression points to the expression that puts women as objects. This study focuses on unloading the form of women’s objectification expression and its transformations in the translation from English into Indonesian. The data source of the research was the transcription of both English and Indonesian subtitles of the Netflix series Anne with an E. Using a qualitative-descriptive approach, the results show that the women are objectified in two ways (1) reduces them into an inert realized by changing pronouns and proper name into names of animals, goods that have no more function, label, and name of dummy object, and judged them by their attributes, such as appearance—body shape, hair; and also behavior—especially on women’s reaction; and (2) Denial of subjectivity by overlooking their agency, thought, and feeling. Moreover, in the translation, women’s objectification expression transforms in the grammatical and lexical stages. At the lexical level, transformation is realized by translating words or phrases using conceptual equations such as the word "trash" becomes "tidak berguna". Although it does not use equivalent words in the dictionary, the equivalence of the sense value from the original text to the source text tends to be achieved. Some expressions are included in zero transformation. Grammatical transformation is realized in the form of substitution, such as English nouns, into Indonesian adjectives and transpositions. The Indonesian translation beholds Indonesian structure and tends to be more subtle in nuance and sense value compared to English.
