Abstract

This study seeks to analyse the linguistic needs of students doing a middle vocational training cycle in administration. In Spain, English is a compulsory language subject from the age of 6, signifying that those finishing secondary school level will have taken English lessons 2–4 times a week for approximately 10 years. However, the English levels in Spain are frequently disputed. In order to expose legitimate language levels and assess factors influencing English language education in Spain, a study will be carried out involving language assessment and a survey. To complete this study, 55 students from a middle vocational training cycle in administration will be recorded having a 5-minute conversation in English with a native English speaker. To analyse the language abilities of these students, an evaluation rubric will be used, categorising pupils into three different levels of English communication based on expression and comprehension.

Abstract

The trend of digital advertising has risen significantly as the use of internet is increasing. It contributes to the way people shape their lifestyle and perceive themselves as a part of the society. Due to its significant role in influencing the audience, this article aimed to reveal an ideological representation in a digital advertisement. The object of this article was Grabfood advertisement published in YouTube which contained both linguistics and visual aspects. Hence, this descriptive qualitative study adopted Fairclough’s Critical Discourse Analysis as the theoretical framework to analyze the data. The results showed that there is a representation of consumerism identified in Grabfood advertisement. This ideological representation encourages the audience to consume more by glorifying the consumptive behavior. The advertisement intended to influence the audience subconsciously that by purchasing goods through its product service would be rewarding and would save them more money. Subsequently, through the number of selling points shown in the advertisement, both linguistically and visually, it manages to deliver its purpose in persuading and leading the audience to more consumption. By analyzing the advertisement critically, we can equip ourselves with more understanding on the process of product advertisement, so that the meanings behind the surface of the advertisement can be identified and responded wisely.

Abstract

 This study aims to produce a systematic literature review on trends in English language education research in Indonesia over the last three years (2019-2021) from an ontological perspective. The Systematic Literature Review (SLR) writing process was conducted in accordance with the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis) framework. The analysis of data resulted in identifying the categories of ontology, namely the categories of teaching, learning, assessing, development of teaching documents like syllabus, learning materials, learning media and instructional model. From these categories of ontology, these studies have been identified and discussed. From the result, it is shown that from the 152 included studies, some areas of English language education tend to have great interest in researching trends of teaching, learning and learning media development. The study also identifies the number of study topics categorized as teaching has increased significantly in the last three years, while the number of research topics categorized as evaluation has decreased. Furthermore, there are two key sources which influence these trends. Firstly, it is due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Second, it is because of the dependency on convenience sampling. Based on the results and interpretations, the authors suggest future research to inform the current situation of  research development in English language education.

Abstract

A textbook is developed to provide language input for language learners. The input should contain appropriate language use to assist learners to be able to communicate effectively from the communicative competence perspective which focuses on pragmatics. For this reason, the present study attempts to investigate speech act presentation in a local English textbook from  metapragmatic, sociopragmatic, and pragmalinguistics  point of view.  The data were taken from common phrases or language expressions of particular functions integrated with conversations in the textbook. Findings revealed that the the speech acts investigated in the textbook were presented in more discrete items lacking sociopragmatic and pragmalinguistic information. Concerning metapragmatic information, there seems to be a significant correlation between metapragmatic, sociopragmatic, and pragmalinguistic aspects. Pedagogically, it implies that the speech acts exposed through the textbook may not serve communicative functions as it was supposed to be and therefore, the textbook did not contain adequate pragmatic knowledge which may cause fewer opportunities to reach communicative competence.

The fact that there were many death toll and citizens affected by the eruption, many people started to blame the PVMBG, as the responsible government agency to the disaster since their duties are to monitor the volcano activities and to give prior warning to the citizens who lived near the volcano. A news article was written a few days after the mount erupted. This article contains many explanations and clarifications from the PVMBG. Therefore, this current study aims to review a news article entitled “Mount Semeru eruption warning issued on Dec 1, PVMBG claims”. There are two problems addressed in this study; 1) “What social wrong does Tempo’s text reveal in the Mount Semeru eruption warning article?”; and 2) “What ideology does Tempo’s text reflect in the Mount Semeru eruption warning article?”. In answering these problems, the writer employed critical discourse analysis. The method used in this study is Critical Discourse Analysis.

Abstract

Speech act, one form of linguistic expression, plays a vital role in expressing speaker’s meaning, so understanding the underlying meaning can help to avoid misunderstanding in daily communication situations in general and in movies in specific. This study aims to analyse the types of speech acts performed by characters in the Cinderella 3: A Twist in Time. It adopted Searle's (1983) model of speech acts for data analysis. The findings reveal that 11 characters performed 854 speech acts to indicate five types of speech acts, namely representative, directive, expressive, commissive and declarative. The representatives were most employed, followed by directives, and expressives. The least used illocutionary acts were commissives and declaratives. Regarding the language function, it is found that the most common functions were stating, ordering and calling which were performed mostly by Cinderella, Prince Charming, Anastasia, and Tremaine. This paper suggests some implications for English language teaching and learning in terms of pragmatics.

Abstract

Klein (1985) believes that appropriate gender-unbiased material mostly gives students the chance to accommodate more compliant mindsets towards gender roles. This study was conducted to observe the way genders are represented in local elementary textbooks in Indonesia, especially the textbook entitled "I Love Jakarta." The method applied in this study was qualitative research that used content analysis. The approach was used to describe the content of the textbook, by using the checklist adapted from Shallaita, et al. (2021), which includes all the texts, illustrations, vocabularies, and exercises, in every chapter of the book. The writers assessed the gender representation in the first grade of an elementary school textbook according to five categories adopted from Amini and Birjandi (2012); Visibility, Firstness, Feminine/Masculine Generic Construction, Activity, Occupation on every text and pictures in the book from unit one until sixteen. The results showed that (1) in terms of visibility, male (54%) was represented more than female (46%), (2) in terms of firstness, male (around nine mentions) in the majority of the cases was mentioned first than female (around five mentions), (3) in the category of feminine/masculine generic construction, there was no case found, (4) regarding the activities portrayed in the book, both male and female characters shared their parts of doing some of the general activities; however, there were cases where some activities were portrayed of being intended mainly for males, such as doing pencak silat and lifting heavy objects. On the other hand, there were portrayals of some of the activities which were mostly intended for females because of their less-aggressive nature, such as dancing and reading a book, (5) in terms of occupations depicted in the book, some of them were represented equally by both male and female characters; however, there were occupations which were considered more manly, such as fisherman and pedicab driver, therefore portrayed by male characters. To sum up, both genders were not represented equally in terms of the five categories.

Abstract

The development of digital-based communication and the widespread use of social media allows the emergence of various variants of communication modes. The use of emojis to express oneself stemmed from the past when people still used pictures or pictographs to communicate through writing to express themselves. However, in modern times, with the advance of the internet and technology, people are increasingly using emojis to amplify messages conveyed to others. In using social media platforms or messaging applications such as WhatsApp and Instagram, people often use emojis to express themselves, including sexuality. The emojis, commonly known as sexting (emojis), are used implicitly to convey meaning because, in social construction, matters related to sexuality tend to be taboo and its existence allows the emergence of various interpretations. This study aims to reconstruct the development of the meaning of sexting emoji from a semiotic perspective. This study is directed to interpret the change in meaning by focusing on the reconstruction of meaning across texts in intertextual relations and the personal interpretation of the informants as a basis for argumentation. This qualitative research uses visual sexting emoji as primary data, which is further interpreted personally by non-native English informants in the interview process and elaborated in an intertextual relation with other sources. This study shows that there is a mythology in the process of interpreting emojis. Connotative meaning allows various kinds of interpretation for each recipient of the message. On the other hand, the development of meaning also impacts the emergence of other linguistic expressions associated with sex and sexual activity.
