Abstract

This study analyzes the use of directive speech acts in TED Talk language learning videos through a pragmatic approach, focusing on orders and suggestions as primary categories. The research examines the speeches of four speakers Matyas Pilin, Chris Lonsdale Lydia Machova, and Marianna Pascal to understand how their speech styles influence the delivery of language learning strategies. This research employed a descriptive qualitative method with purposive sampling data collection. From the 273 data that the author found, 47 data of utterances were selected from four different videos for analysis. The findings reveal that male speakers predominantly use orders, emphasizing a structured and authoritative instructional approach, while female speakers favor suggestions, promoting a supportive and motivational teaching style. This balance between orders and suggestions highlights the diverse strategies employed to address both cognitive and emotional aspects of learners. This study contributes to the fields of pragmatics and educational communication by demonstrating how directive speech acts influence instructional effectiveness. The findings provide valuable insights for educators, linguists, and public speakers in developing more impactful and learner-centered teaching methods. Moreover, the study offers a foundation for further research into the interplay of speech acts, instructional strategies, and cultural or contextual influences in educational settings.

Abstract

This research examines the application of the principle of politeness in the film "Murder on the Orient Express" using a pragmatic approach. This study analyzes how each dialogue spoken by the characters in the film can be defined as part of the principle of politeness maxims proposed by Geoffrey Leech. There are 6 maxims of politeness principles, namely the maxim of tact, the maxim of generosity, the maxim of agreement, the maxim of politeness, the maxim of agreement, and the maxim of sympathy. Of all these maxims, this study analyzes the order in which these maxims appear in the dialogue conversations in this film, along with possible reasons. The research method used by the author in this study is a qualitative descriptive research method that can examine evidence of the emergence of speech that implies the principles of politeness maxims in it. In this study, the author found (2) maxims of tact, (5) maxims of generosity, (9) maxims of agreement, (8) maxims of politeness, (6) maxims of agreement, and (3) maxims of sympathy. In conclusion, this study demonstrates the relevance of politeness principles in understanding communication dynamics in a fictional context, highlighting how these principles contribute to character development and plot development. Further research is recommended to explore the application of politeness principles across cultures in film and other media.

Abstract

This study investigated the interface between pragmatic and grammatical competence in second language acquisition. This study aims to discover the conceptual framework of how pragmatics competence interfaces with grammatical competence. This study employs three research questions such as (1) how pragmatics competence and grammatical competence are interfaced with each other, (2) what kind of pragmatics competence should be learned by the learner of a second language, and (3) to what extent grammatical construction interface with the pragmatic domain. This study used the groundwork of the library research method, which forms the theoretical framework of this study by searching, reading, and evaluating some journals from the online journal that deals with the topic. The result revealed that pragmatic competence and grammatical competence are interfaced with each other since grammatical construction in the utterance contributes to the language use expression.

Abstract

This research aims to identify the factors that negatively affect santri's attitudes toward learning English in an Indonesian Islamic boarding school. Pre-observation revealed that approximately 29% of students exhibited behaviors such as lack of focus, motivation, and interest, often engaging in disruptive actions like joking around, sleeping in class, and neglecting their studies. To explore these factors, a descriptive case study was conducted, involving semi-structured interviews with three 11th-grade students. The findings reveal three primary themes: lack of exposure to English, language anxiety, and lack of motivation. Insufficient exposure to English hindered students’ proficiency, particularly in listening, reading, and pronunciation. Anxiety about making mistakes created emotional barriers, preventing students from engaging in English-speaking activities. Additionally, low motivation, often exacerbated by an uninspiring classroom environment and absence of peers, contributed to disengagement and negative attitudes. These insights emphasize the importance of addressing cognitive, affective, and behavioral factors to promote positive language attitudes and enhance language acquisition.

Abstract

Representing women's beauty standards in the media significantly shapes people's views on self-esteem. This research is essential to understand how the media reveals a narrow definition of beauty standards. This research analyses the representation of female beauty standard of a main female character on a movie using critical discourse analysis by Sara Mills’ theory. The movie “Tall Girl” served as the data source of this research. The data were analyzed with a qualitative approach through documentation, observation, and note taking and validated by expert judgment to determine the theory of feminism by revealing two research objectives: (1) how is the main female character views the beauty standards from the language used and (2) how is the main female character depicted from the language used in the movie. The findings and discussion of this research revealed that Jodi Kreyman, as the main character, transforms the position of an object of bullying to that of a subject who can accept her physical appearance. In addition, from the reader's position, the film allows the reader to empathize with Jodi's struggle and think more critically about the broader standards of female beauty. In conclusion, the movie challenges narrow beauty standards and demonstrates the importance of self-acceptance. Future research could analyze similar issues or the audience's perspectives on female beauty standards to create new insight.

This study aims to find out the types of figurative language in “Short n Sweet” song album by Sabrina Carpenter and  how is the figurative language realized in the song album. This research used mix-method research namely quantitative and qualitative. This study used Perrine (1992) theory which classified figurative language into 12 types. However, this research only focuses into 6 types of figurative language with the research results of 97 data. There are Metaphor (16), Simile (14), Personification (9), Symbol (19), Hyperbole (23), and Irony (16). The realization is that there are six types of  figurative language, namely metaphors (comparing two different ideas, namely intelligence with sharpest tools and describing a partner with bee). Simile (make a direct comparison using the term "like"). Personification (inanimate objects namely fan and car are given human characteristics or talents). Symbol (use elements of numbers and drink brands with meanings that are different from their literal meanings). Hyperbole (use clearly exaggerated statements to emphasize certain feelings and situations). Irony (there is a mismatch between what is said or expected and the truth or deepest feelings behind the statement). This study is very important for english department and literature students, teacher, lecturer, and other researchers because it will teach them how to evaluate and analyze figurative language both in songs and in other media.
