Abstract

The insights from studies on self-identity construction in writing have encouraged linguistics scholars to continuously explore the presence of writers’ identity in writing. Nevertheless, due to arguments that question whether second language writers construct their identity in writing as well since they are still in tension between fulfilling the writing’s expectation and their English proficiency, a particular study that explores second language writing identity is needed. This study, therefore, was conducted to explore how second language writers construct their identity, particularly in academic writing. A dissertation written by an Indonesian doctoral candidate was chosen to be the main source of data. Adopting the work of Ivanic and Camps (2001), this study employed the three language functions proposed by Halliday, i.e., ideational function, interpersonal function, and textual function, as the analytical tools. Each function was broken down into specific features by which the texts were identified. Then, to sharpen the existence of writers’ identity in writing, the findings were identified to find the manifestation of the four aspects of identity proposed by Ivanic (1998). Based on the results of the analysis, this study found that writers’ identities are presented beyond the linguistic discourse employed in the writings. Then, regarding the manifestation of each function in the four aspects of writing identity, this study revealed that all aspects were manifested in the three language functions. It puts forward an argument that writing is the act of identity, and even a second language writer constructs her writing identity, including in an academic one. The study also found that even a second language writer establishes her own identity, which conforms to the common convention in academic writing.  Keywords: writing identity, second language writers, academic writing

Abstract

This research aims to analyze verbal and non-verbal signs and explore the meanings of the posters. Posters, which serve as an art of communicating messages, typically consist of short text combined with images, formats, tables, and graphics. Data was collected from Pinterest on the internet, focusing on the signs used in the posters, which are intriguing for analysis. The method employed in this study is qualitative descriptive. Saussure’s (1893) semiotic theory is applied to analyze verbal and non-verbal signs, while Barthes’ (1977) theory of meaning is used to explain the meanings of these signs. The analysis of colors in the posters is conducted using Wierzbicka’s (1996) theory. This research also presents tables and informal methods to describe the meanings of the signs found in the posters. The results indicate that two posters were analyzed, featuring three verbal and four non-verbal signs. These findings highlight the importance of understanding signs in visual communication, particularly in conveying health messages through drug posters. Keywords: semiotics; verbal sign; non-verbal signs; drug posters; meaning analysis

Abstract

This research explores the development of vocabulary in second language acquisition (SLA) by examining how individual differences influence language learning processes. The study synthesizes various theoretical frameworks, including cognitive, sociocultural, and psycholinguistic approaches, and their application in the classroom. By focusing on individual learner characteristics such as motivation, cognitive styles, age, and affective factors, the research aims to understand how these differences shape vocabulary acquisition. The method of this research is a qualitative method using thematic analysis. The results of this study reveal that although SLA theories provide a solid foundation for second language teaching, success in vocabulary acquisition is greatly influenced by factors such as motivation, learning strategies, and cognitive abilities possessed by individual students. Therefore, an understanding of individual differences is crucial in designing effective teaching methods.Keywords: SLA, vocabulary acquisition, teaching.

Abstract

This study examines the impact of the debate technique on improving English public speaking skills among college students learning English as a foreign language. Conducting a Classroom Action Research (CAR) with 38 participants over 12 weeks, the researchers identified initial deficiencies in speaking abilities such as vocabulary, pronunciation, and fluency, highlighted by students' anxiety and low confidence. The intervention, implemented in two cycles, utilized British Parliamentary debate formats to develop critical thinking, argumentation, and public speaking proficiency. Results demonstrated substantial enhancement, increasing from 44.74% to 94.74% in students meeting required competency benchmarks, specifically being able to master public speaking with scores exceeding the passing grade. The findings affirm that debate techniques significantly foster confidence, fluency, and overall speaking abilities. This research highlights the importance of dynamic teaching methods in developing effective communicators in a globalized context. Keywords: Public Speaking; Debate; Classroom Action Research

Abstract

As a part of linguistics, figurative language is always interesting to study since it is used in daily life as well. For example, it is applied in literary works (i.e., poetry) and music (i.e., songs). The aims of this study are, first, to analyze the use of figurative language in Xavier’s memes and, second, to interpret their meaning. In this study, the researchers chose one of the branches of figurative language, which is called irony, and merely focused on sarcasm as the verbal type of irony. As this is mostly qualitative research, the researchers do library research, including online browsing. This anonymous person called Xavier is often featured in memes, pictures, and videos uploaded by a lot of people at the 9gag platform, a social media website allowing users to upload and share user-generated content, including memes, funny pictures, and videos. It happens that Xavier is popular for his sarcastic comment memes uploaded to 9gag, and they mostly roast or mock others’ content in funny ways. The finding shows that most of Xavier's sarcastic comment memes use propositional, like-prefixed, and lexical sarcasm; for example, (1) Like Tiktokers"—like-prefixed sarcasm and (2) First man to win an argument against a woman"—lexical sarcasm.
