Abstract

This study investigates how pragmatic strategies in BBC News construct public perceptions of the global economic crisis through a single case analysis of the video “How Will the Global Economy Fare in 2025?” Employing a qualitative approach within the framework of Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA), the study examines three units of analysis—headline/thumbnail, narration, and captions—to identify pragmatic features including implicature, presupposition, deixis, and metaphor. The analysis focuses on how these linguistic elements contribute to the framing of economic uncertainty and ideological positioning. Rather than generalizing across multiple reports, this research provides a focused interpretation of one representative case to reveal how media language subtly guides interpretation and emotional response. The findings indicate that the BBC’s lexical and discursive strategies construct narratives of uncertainty and global imbalance through evaluative and speculative expressions. However, the study does not claim direct causality between linguistic form and public emotion, acknowledging that interpretation is mediated by individual and sociocultural factors. The contribution of this study lies in clarifying how pragmatic and discourse devices operate within a single-item media text to shape meaning in times of economic instability, while its limitation is the narrow data scope that precludes broad generalization.

Abstract

Everyday communication requires conversation as it is the main way to build relationships with others and express meaning in a variety of communicative circumstances. In a conversation, adjacency pairs play a crucial role in organizing speech, guiding responses, and ensuring a smooth flow of communication. Misunderstandings and disruptions in adjacency pairs, such as unexpected responses or preference violations, often occur, affecting the coherence and effectiveness of interactions. This study examines adjacency pairs in the animated film Puss in Boots: The Last Wish. It focuses on the types of adjacency pairs found in the film by employing the theory of Conversation Analysis (CA) by Schegloff (2007). The data are in the forms of dialogues and they were collected from transcribed dialogues found in the film. The results of the analysis reveal that six types of adjacency pairs are found: greeting-greeting, offer-acceptance/rejection, request-compliance/refusal, invitation-acceptance/declination, question-answer, and assessment-agreement/disagreement. The findings indicate that these adjacency pairs contribute to both character development and narrative progression, reflecting natural speech patterns. This study provides insights into how adjacency pairs function within fictional discourse and enhances the understanding of conversational structures in animated films.

Abstract

This literature review examines the integration of local and global cultures in English Language Teaching (ELT) materials by synthesizing recent research from 2020 to 2025. The study analyzes how cultural content shapes learners' linguistic competence and intercultural awareness. Through systematic review of 25 peer-reviewed articles from diverse geographical contexts, this study identifies key themes including cultural representation patterns, material adaptation strategies, and the development of intercultural communicative competence. Findings reveal that balanced integration of both local and global cultural elements significantly enhances learner engagement, contextual relevance, and communicative effectiveness. However, persistent challenges remain in achieving appropriate cultural balance and providing adequate teacher training for culturally responsive pedagogy. This review contributes to ongoing discourse on culturally responsive ELT by offering evidence-based insights for material developers, educators, and curriculum designers seeking to create more inclusive and effective language learning environments that prepare learners for meaningful intercultural communication in today's globalized world.

Abstract

English as an International Language (EIL) has spread throughout the world, thus learners must be exposed to a variety of accent variants. Nevertheless, it is still difficult to incorporate these types into official school environments. Within the framework of Teaching English as an International Language (TEIL), this study explores how Indonesian EFL students perceive using YouTube to learn English accent variations. A mixed-methods strategy was used to gather data from 25 English Education students at Universitas Muhammadiyah Tangerang through semi-structured interviews and questionnaires after they were carefully exposed to YouTube videos in both American and Indian English. The results demonstrate a definite hierarchical perception: American English (Inner Circle) was rated significantly higher in comprehensibility, pleasantness, prestige, and acceptability as a learning model compared to Indian English (Outer Circle). Concurrently, a substantial majority of participants acknowledged the authenticity and legitimacy of the Indian accent as a representation of global English use. This duality in learner awareness an entrenched preference for native-speaker norms coexisting with emerging recognition of linguistic plurality indicates that while biases are persistent, they are not impermeable. The study concludes that targeted digital exposure can initiate critical awareness of World Englishes. Consequently, TEIL-aligned pedagogy should systematically integrate diverse accent models through platforms like YouTube, coupled with guided critical reflection, to better prepare learners as adaptable and linguistically aware global communicators.Keywords: accent perception, American English, Indian English, YouTube, TEIL, Indonesian EFL students
