Abstract

This research discusses the syntactic analysis of spoken sentences in the Deddy Corbuzier Channel podcast on TikTok. The purpose of this study is to describe how sentence structures in spoken language differ from written language and to identify how they reflect Chomsky’s theory of Transformational-Generative Grammar (TGG). This study uses qualitative methods. The research data were taken from selected podcast transcripts from TikTok. To answer the research questions, the researcher applied Chomsky’s theory (1957, 1965) focusing on the relationship between deep structure and surface structure in sentence formation. The results reveal that although the deep structures of the utterances are grammatically correct, the surface structures often show spoken features such as topic fronting, lexical substitution, repetition, fillers, and clause fragmentation. These forms occur naturally in spontaneous conversation and are not considered grammatical errors. Furthermore, the analysis shows that spoken sentences tend to prioritize clarity, emphasis, and emotional expression rather than formal grammatical

Abstract

The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in education has provided new opportunities to support English as a Foreign Language (EFL) writing development. One AI-based tool that has gained significant attention is ChatGPT, which offers immediate feedback, idea generation, and language support throughout the writing process. This study aims to explore students’ perceptions regarding the use of ChatGPT to improve English writing skills, with particular attention to its benefits, challenges, and the strategies employed by students when using the tool. This study employed a qualitative descriptive research design. Data were collected through semi-structured face-to-face interviews with six undergraduate students from the English Department of Sam Ratulangi University, Manado, who had experience using ChatGPT in academic writing contexts. The interview data were analyzed thematically following Creswell’s qualitative data analysis procedures. The findings indicate that students generally perceive ChatGPT as a useful writing support tool, especially for improving grammar and tense accuracy, assisting academic sentence construction, supporting idea generation, and functioning as an independent learning resource. However, students also reported several challenges, including limitations in output quality, increased writing complexity due to repeated revisions, and the risk of psychological dependence that may affect independent writing ability. To address these challenges, students applied strategies such as paraphrasing AI-generated text, refining prompts, selecting essential ideas, and maintaining control over drafting and revision processes. In conclusion, ChatGPT can effectively support EFL writing development when used critically and strategically. Therefore, guided and balanced integration of AI tools is recommended to enhance learning while preserving students’ writing autonomy.

Abstract

   While extensive studies exist on conceptual metaphors in political discourse, a comprehensive longitudinal analysis investigating how these conceptual metaphors endure and evolve across different American presidential administrations over time is lacking. Addressing this gap, this study tracks and analyzes the usage of conceptual metaphors related to ‘war’ and ‘national security’ across different presidential administrations. Drawing on the extensive literature in the field of conceptual metaphors in political discourse, this study presents a large-scale longitudinal analysis using Conceptual Metaphor Theory (Lakoff and Johnson, 1980) to examine eighteen pivotal presidential speeches (1941–2021), using mixed- methods approach that consists of quantitative corpus analysis (AntConc) and qualitative metaphor identification conducted according to the Metaphor Identification Procedure (MIP). Findings indicate that conceptual metaphors are not static, fixed rhetorical devices employed by the political actors in reference to stable specialized target domains; they appear to be dynamic instruments of rhetoric shaped by the historical and socio-political context in which they are used. This study is predominantly characterized by two complementary trends: on the one hand, a core set of conceptual metaphorical patterns persisted across the corpus, and on the other hand their source domains and specific metaphorical vehicles have undergone significant evolutionary processes. These changes are classified as lexical evolution (updating vehicles within a stable source domain) and conceptual evolution (re-assigning the target domain to a new source domain). One central observation is that it is naturalness itself, as a phenomenon of nature, that serves as the ubiquitous source domain for both war and national security as concepts. This study contributes a nuanced longitudinal perspective to the field, illustrating how political language maintains rhetorical stability while evolving to meet contemporary realities.

Abstract

This study examines neologisms in digital resistance discourse in Instagram posts tagged #ResetIndonesia. Neologisms not only reflect linguistic innovation, but also represent critical attitudes, collective identity, and resistance to power. This study aims to identify the process of neologism formation and analyze its social and discursive functions in digital resistance. The research uses a descriptive qualitative approach through observation and documentation of Instagram posts. Data analysis refers to Yule's word formation theory and Androutsopoulos' digital discourse framework. The results show 45 neologisms formed through seven morphological processes, with derivation as the dominant process, particularly through the affixation of pe-...-an, ke-...-an, and meN-. Functionally, neologisms play a role in ideological evaluation, delegitimization of power, mobilization of collective action, and construction of collective identity. This study enriches morphological studies by presenting an empirical mapping of Indonesian neologisms in the context of digital activism, as well as deepening the study of digital discourse by demonstrating the role of morphological forms as discursive strategies of resistance on social media.

Abstract

This study examines how cultural background and gender relate to argumentative coherence in English writing among Indonesian and Japanese EFL learners. Although intercultural rhetoric research has explored cross-cultural variation in argumentative structure, limited corpus-based studies have compared learners at controlled proficiency levels using a structured analytical framework. Drawing on 20 B1_2-level essays from the ICNALE corpus, this study applies the Toulmin Argument Pattern (TAP) framework to analyze the distribution of claims, data, counterclaims, and rebuttals. Argumentative quality was further assessed using an adapted coherence-level scale. The findings reveal clear cross-cultural variation: Indonesian learners produced a higher frequency of claims and supporting data, reflecting a predominantly linear argumentative structure, whereas Japanese learners more frequently incorporated counterclaims and rebuttals, resulting in more structurally complete argumentative cycles. Gender-related differences were observed in the distribution of argumentative elements; however, these patterns should be interpreted cautiously due to the exploratory sample size. Overall, the study highlights the role of culturally shaped rhetorical preferences in EFL argumentative writing and demonstrates the usefulness of TAP as a diagnostic tool for examining intercultural variation in coherence. Pedagogical implications and directions for future research are discussed.

Abstract

This research aims to describe the strategies used by English teachers in teaching reading comprehension at SMAN 1 Jekulo and to identify the challenges faced during their implementation. The background of this study is the fact that many students still have difficulties in understanding English texts due to limited vocabulary, lack of mastery of reading strategies, and low learning motivation. This study applied a descriptive qualitative method. The data obtained through classroom observations as well as interviews with four English educators. The results show the teachers used a number of tactics, like scaffolding, think-aloud, reciprocal teaching, SQ3R, and QAR. The usage of these tactics was adapted to the students' competence stage, course objectives, and genre of literature. In mixed-ability classes, teachers also made certain adaptations, such as providing extra assistance to struggling students and assigning more difficult assignments to students who were more competent. Several problems remain, such as limits vocabulary, student ability gaps, a lack of enthusiasm in reading, and limited time in the classroom. However, the implementation of these strategies improved students' reading comprehension and made the class more interesting. The findings of this study are expected to provide teachers with suggestions for selecting and developing reading techniques, and they will also serve as an example for future researchers researching into ways for teaching reading comprehension in different situations.

Abstract

The rapid digital transformation in the Industry 4.0 era has reshaped vocational education, emphasizing the need for graduates who possess strong English communication skills aligned with global business demands. This study investigates students’ perceptions of using Free4Talk, an online language exchange platform, to enhance English for Business Communication among vocational students. Employing a mixed method design, the research collected quantitative data through a five point Likert scale questionnaire and qualitative data through semi-structured interviews with 20 Business Administration students at Kupang State Polytechnic. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze the questionnaire, while thematic analysis was applied to interpret interview responses. The findings revealed that students hold positive perceptions of Free4Talk across four key dimensions: usability and accessibility (M=3.73), motivation and engagement (M=3.59), language and business communication skills (M=3.45), and intercultural communication competence (M=3.43) all categorized as “high.” The results indicate that Free4Talk effectively fosters speaking fluency, confidence, and intercultural awareness through authentic, real time interaction with global users. Students valued its accessibility, user friendly design, and motivational features that encouraged frequent speaking practice beyond the classroom. In conclusion, integrating Free4Talk into vocational English instruction bridges academic and workplace communication needs, supporting the development of globally competent communicators. It is recommended that future research employ experimental or longitudinal approaches to examine measurable gains in fluency, accuracy, and pragmatic competence, as well as to explore the integration of teacher guidance and feedback mechanisms in technology-mediated language learning

Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate the macro skills of the Out of School Youth and Adults enrolled in the Alternative Learning System of the City of Mati, Davao Oriental. Included in the macro skills are listening, speaking, reading, writing, and viewing which are relevant to develop critical thinking, learning and effective communication. The OSYA are individuals who have not finished formal schooling due to a variety of reasons but are students of non-formal education. There are 100 respondents chosen by simple random sampling from the Mati North District and Mati Central District. Through a checklist, it was discovered that the OSYA have high levels of macro skills wherein listening is the highest while speaking is the lowest. This was based on their self-evaluation and analysis. Based from the results, it was concluded that listening is the most useful skill since it is relevant in understanding and participating in daily conversations. On the other hand, even though speaking has a high result, it still showed activities that are inconsistently executed. It is important that each macro skill should be developed to increase their competence in the language. Even though the study yielded high results, it is still significant to undergo additional investigation to further examine their macro skills. This research is also important to help the OSYA and ALS mobile teachers to strengthen their learning and teaching process

Abstract

Oral examinations are now part of China’s College Entrance Examination, yet many students lose points due to pronunciation errors that reduce intelligibility, largely stemming from the L1 transfer. High-school instruction seldom targets intelligibility-critical segmental features, partly because these features and their effects are under-researched. To address this gap, researchers analyzed the segmental pronunciation and intelligibility of 55 Grade-10 students in a Chongqing high school. Speech was collected via Voice Memo, annotated by trained raters for segmental errors, and rated for intelligibility; statistical analyses were conducted in IBM SPSS. Results show vowel errors outnumber consonant errors, with certain phonemes (e.g., /iː/, /ɪ/, /θ/) exceeding a 40% error rate. These errors frequently led raters to misidentify words, directly lowering intelligibility scores. Segmental error rates were significantly associated with intelligibility, indicating that targeted training on high-error vowels and consonants can yield measurable gains. The study offers practical guidance for pronunciation instruction, especially in dialect-influenced regions.

Abstract

This study examines how Cinta Laura and Daniel Mananta, two well-known Indonesian public figures who often speak in English and Indonesian, use both languages in their podcast conversations.  This research analyzes one selected podcast episode to determine the classification of coordinative, subordinative, and compound bilingualism based on Weinreich's classification. A descriptive qualitative approach was used in this study. After data was collected through listening and note-taking, categorization and frequency analysis of bilingual utterances were conducted.  The results show that compound bilingualism is the most common (48 percent), indicating that both languages are integrated into a single, unified system of meaning.  Subordinate bilingualism is very common (36 percent), where Indonesian is used as the basis for thinking while English is used for emphasis or stylistic effect. Most cases of coordinative bilingualism (16%) occurred when speakers used English exclusively without relying on Indonesian.  These results indicate that young Indonesian speakers use bilingualism flexibly and strategically in digital media, with Indonesian remaining the basis of communication while English adds expressiveness, a modern feel, and global appeal. This study enhances our understanding of bilingual practices in informal digital discourse and encourages further research on bilingualism across different speaker backgrounds and media formats.
