Abstract

This research aims to analyse the transitivity system of Pembangunan Berketahanan Iklim (PBI) documents, one of the key climate governance policy documents in Indonesia, based on an ecolinguistic approach. Using Halliday’s transitivity system (2014), researchers explore clues to the world experience of policymakers in positioning the relationship between humans and their environment through language features in texts. Also employing the same transitivity system, this research applies a mixed-method, integrating both qualitative and quantitative techniques to provide a comprehensive analysis. The authors utilized AntConc 4.2.2. to analyse the corpus of 46,789 tokens. Concordances containing keywords: lingkungan, alam, habitat, ekosistem, and hayati were analyzed using the transitivity system framework to identify the distribution of process types and participant roles within the corpus. Research findings show a significant prevalence of material processes, indicating a focus on actions and events. Furthermore, the analysis shows the patterns of the active roles of human participants, actor obscuring, as well as environmental keywords that fill the role of passive participants and circumstantial phrases that clarify the tradition of human domination over the environment. These transitivity patterns indicate stylistic features of an ambivalent discourse that perpetuates human domination over the environment. From the perspective of Living! ecosophy (Stibbe, 2021), language patterns that still represent anthropocentric perspectives are incompatible with sustainable ecological discourse. This research of transitivity analysis enriches the study of climate governance discourse in policy documents in the Indonesian context.

Abstract

English teaching for engineering students is categorized as English for Specific Purposes (ESP). This study aims to determine the English learning needs of the Electrical Power Installation Engineering, Industrial Automation Engineering, Building Modeling and Information Design, and Construction and Property Business departments at SMKN 3 Tanjungpinang. The research method used is descriptive qualitative with questionnaire and interview instruments involving 26 respondents, consisting of 25 students and 1 English teacher. The results of the study indicate that students need to improve their speaking skills, vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation. Learning methods such as Contextual Teaching and Learning and Task-Based Learning need to be applied to support the learning process. The main difficulties faced are the lack of mastery of speaking and pronunciation, as well as limited vocabulary. Students also like video-based and interactive learning media. The implication is that teachers need to develop more communicative teaching methods and use interesting media so that learning is more effective and relevant to students' needs.

Abstract

This study investigates the impact of the Presentation, Practice, and Production (PPP) strategy on enhancing English grammar proficiency among high school students in Batam City. Grammar is essential for effective communication, yet students often struggle due to its complexity, differences from their native languages, and fear of ridicule. Utilizing Classroom Action Research (CAR) over three months with 45 students, the study employed a cyclical process of planning, action, observation, and reflection. Pre-test and post-test evaluations revealed a significant improvement in grammar skills, with average scores rising from 70.00 to 82.62. The PPP method effectively addresses grammar learning challenges by introducing concepts (Presentation), facilitating controlled practice (Practice), and encouraging creative use in communication (Production). The implications of these findings underscore the importance of tailored instructional methods that foster a supportive environment, reducing anxiety and building students' confidence. Integrating the PPP strategy into curriculum development can enhance language learning across diverse contexts, promoting greater student engagement and improved outcomes. Ultimately, this study aims to empower students in their language learning journey, ensuring that all learners, regardless of initial proficiency, can achieve desired outcomes in English communication skills.
