Abstract

Communist countries often utilize persuasive speech to demonstrate authority, leadership, and legitimacy of the ruling party. This study explores the use of persuasive utterances delivered by the president of the People's Republic of China, Xi Jinping, during the People's Republic of China National Day celebration. This qualitative study is based on data from Xi Jinping's speeches during the National Day Celebrations of the People's Republic of China during Xi Jinping's tenure. The data are in the form of sentences that have elements of persuasion, which were collected using content analysis techniques. The findings of this study are that 46 persuasion utterances were found in four speech texts of Xi Jinping. The persuasion sentences vary, but always follow the following indication patterns, namely (1) the use of collective pronoun, (2) the use of collective nouns, (3) the use of deontic modality, (4) the use of epistemic modality, (5) the use of majas, and (6) the use of evaluative vocabulary.

Abstract

The English language plays a pivotal role in education, particularly in global contexts. It is utilised in various domains, including education, business, and diplomacy. Moreover, it can be integrated with Islamic studies, particularly Islamic moderation, which emphasises balance, tolerance, and peaceful coexistence. This study addresses a research gap by investigating the impact of religious moderation on students' learning competence in speaking classes, a topic that has received limited attention in previous studies. This research aims to investigate students’ learning competence in religious moderation at the English Department of the Tarbiyah Faculty of IAIN Parepare. This research was conducted from March to June 2024. This mixed-method study combines qualitative and quantitative data to provide a comprehensive understanding. Twenty students from the fifth semester participated, and data were collected through interviews and documentation. The findings indicate that religious moderation is effectively implemented in speaking classes through three stages: preparation (lecture planning with RPS), implementation (using materials from YouTube, podcasts, articles, and videos), and evaluation (role-playing videos to assess competence). The students' scores increased from 77.0 to 85.76, showing significant improvement. The study shows that integrating religious moderation in speaking classes enhances language competence, with positive students’ perceptions confirming it as an effective teaching strategy.

Abstract

This study investigates the prevalence and nature of speaking anxiety among tenth-grade students at SMAN 15 Medan, with a particular focus on physical, mental, and emotional symptoms. Employing a descriptive qualitative design, the research utilized observations and interviews to capture a comprehensive picture of the students' anxiety experiences. Analysis of the data revealed that physical symptoms were the most frequently reported, with a total of 83 instances documented. These included rapid heartbeat, difficulty speaking, trembling, and difficulty breathing, among others. Emotional symptoms were also prominent, with students frequently expressing feelings of nervousness, fear, and embarrassment. Mental symptoms, while less common, included issues such as memory lapses and cognitive disruptions. The findings indicate that speaking anxiety manifests predominantly through physical and emotional symptoms, with mental symptoms being less frequent but still impactful. Additionally, many students exhibited multiple types of symptoms simultaneously, underscoring the multifaceted nature of speaking anxiety. This research highlights the need for a holistic approach to addressing speaking anxiety, suggesting that future interventions should focus on reducing physical symptoms, enhancing emotional support, and improving cognitive strategies to help students manage their speaking anxiety effectively.

Abstract

This study examines the impact of internet slang on the informal communication of Gen Z in Brunei Darussalam. Using a quantitative research approach, a cross-sectional survey was administered to a total of 122 Gen Z respondents aged between 13 and 28. The survey aims to explore internet slang usage patterns, their impact on communication clarity, social identity, and sense of belonging, and to gather opinions and attitudes toward internet slang. The findings reveal that internet slang is being integrated into daily conversations, with clipping, acronyms, and abbreviations being the most common types used. The usage of slang was mainly due to its efficiency, fun & engaging nature, and its ability to express emotions better. Additionally, it helps to create shared identity between peers and helps to create a sense of belonging. However, the results also highlight some challenges, such as misunderstanding and misinterpretations. Overall, there is a mix of opinions and attitudes toward internet slang, which can be further investigated in future studies.

Abstract

The research's goal was to find out why the markobar texts used the modality in the pabagas boru ritual. Qualitative research methodology was employed. In Padangsidimpuan, two Pabagas Boru (wedding) ceremonies provided the data. This research focused on the 14 markobar roles in the Pabagas Boru ritual and two atobangon (markobar experts) in Padangsidimpuan. As the research's data, there were 66 sentences with modality that participants provided orally. Halliday's (2004) modality theory was applied to examine the rationale for the usage of modality in the markobar texts during the Pabagas Boru ceremonies. The data were analyzed based on Miles, Huberman, and Saldana (2014). The results showed that there were four reasons of modality use, namely, (1) to portray possibilities that happened in a new family; (2) to express the speakers’ opinion and suggestion; (3) to obligate the new couple in creating a better family; and (4) to tell the speakers’ willingness toward the new couple.
