Abstract

This research scrutinizes the strategy of politeness employed by Mentors (MTRs) and Mentees (MNTs) during the coaching clinic providing Master Ceremony (MC) at Universitas Bumigora. Researchers implemented some techniques (participative observation, interviews, audio recording, case studies, and focus group discussions) to monitor the interaction among the MTRs and MNTs during interaction and comprehend how the theory used, and the strategies affect the communication and lead to effectiveness of rehearsals. This research applied a descriptive qualitative method to see the natural phenomenon of data in the field. The face-saving strategy was found to be mostly applied during coaching; MTRs do 69.23% of the time, and MNTs do 80%. While the face-threatening acts, MTRs uttered 30.77%, and 20% of utterances were uttered by MNTs. Using saving strategies during coaching helps the MTRs maintain good relationships with the MNTs. This research also suggests that implementing politeness strategies creates good communication and relationships at hand. The newness of current research lies in the in-depth analysis of the politeness strategy among mentors and mentees, which the face-saving strategy significantly contributes toward communication effectiveness.

The approach used in this study is descriptive qualitative, which applies descriptive methods. Data collection techniques in this study are literature, observation, interviews, recording techniques, and note-taking. Data on diglossia are seen from seven domains: family domain, social domain, buying and selling transaction domain, religious domain, government domain, education domain, and profession domain. Based on research findings show that the aristocracy of Mambalan Village is bilingual and multilingual. This can be seen from the variety of languages used, namely Sasak alus language, Sasak jamak language, and Indonesian. This condition supported the occurrence of the diglossia situation among them. The study’s results based on the family domain show that the aristocracy of the Mambalan village still uses the Sasak alus and Indonesian as a high language (H). In the buying and selling transactions, it can be seen that the Sasak alus language and Indonesian are the high language (H) and most dominant languages used by the noblemen of Mambalan village.

Abstract

In the evolving landscape of English for Specific Purposes (ESP) education, integrating computational thinking (CT) offers a systematic approach to addressing the cognitive and analytical challenges posed by technical texts. This study investigates the impact of CT strategies—decomposition, pattern recognition, and abstraction—on enhancing ESP learners’ reading comprehension and problem-solving skills. A classroom action research (CAR) framework was employed with second-semester management and engineering students at Universitas Bumigora. A mixed-methods approach combined pre- and post-tests, classroom observations, and reflective journals to measure outcomes and capture qualitative insights. The results revealed significant improvements, with reading comprehension scores rising from 59% to 79% and problem-solving scores increasing from 59% to 80.1%. Large effect sizes (Cohen’s d > 1.1) underscored the efficacy of CT strategies. Qualitative findings highlighted increased student confidence, effective use of decomposition and pattern recognition, and the transferability of skills to other contexts. However, challenges with abstraction persisted, indicating a need for additional scaffolding and instructional support. These findings demonstrate the potential of CT to bridge linguistic and analytical gaps in ESP education. Future research should explore longitudinal impacts and expand the application of CT across diverse ESP fields and teaching methodologies.

Abstract

This research analyzes the impoliteness strategies used in “The Devil Wears Prada” movie, focusing on how these strategies reflect the power dynamics and emotional tensions between characters. By exploring examples of bald on-record impoliteness, positive and negative impoliteness, sarcasm or mock politeness, and withholding politeness, the study intends to reveal the implications of these strategies on the characters’ interactions, self-perception, and the overarching themes of ambition and identity in the film. This research utilized a descriptive qualitative method. Data was collected through observational and non-participatory techniques. The researcher observed the dialogue from the movie "The Devil Wears Prada" and recorded the data using note-taking. The non-participatory technique was employed because the researcher did not directly engage as a participant in the conversations. The analysis was conducted using the pragmatics identity method. The analysis reveals two instances of bald on record impoliteness, two instances of positive impoliteness, two instances of negative impoliteness, two instances of sarcasm or mock politeness, and one instance of withheld politeness. In examining the impoliteness strategies utilized in “The Devil Wears Prada”, it becomes clear that the characters often employ various methods to exert power and control in their interactions. Miranda Priestly, in particular, uses direct insults, sarcasm, and dismissive remarks to establish her dominance and reinforce the existing social hierarchies within the workplace. Furthermore, the film demonstrates that these strategies highlight the ruthless nature of the fashion industry and influence character development and audience interpretation. Ultimately, the dynamics of impoliteness enhance the film’s themes of ambition, sacrifice, and the ethical dilemmas found in professional settings.

Abstract

This study examines Burhan’s psychological transformation in the movie “The Vengeance of Seher” using the psychoanalytic theory of Sigmund Freud’s Id, Ego, and Superego. Qualitative descriptive research was applied with the information gathered from dialogue or sentences regarding the movie’s main figure. The results of the study showed that the psychological pressure and rejection that the main figure received made the Id’s urge more dominant, causing him to take a shortcut by using black magic. His inability to control his inner conflict pushed him towards destructive actions, ultimately negatively impacting him and those around him. The film Seher not only presents horror elements, but also depicts how psychological disorders can affect a person’s behavior. Furthermore, this investigation provides insight into the importance of balance between the Id, Ego, and Superego in managing emotional stress. This study suggests that by comprehending fictional characters’ psychological aspects, audiences could become more aware of mental health concerns and emotional control. This study suggests that by comprehending the psychological aspects of fictional characters, the audience could grow more aware of mental health concerns and emotional control. Moreover, this research recommends additional studies employing different psychological techniques in addition to audience reaction analysis.

Abstract

This study investigates the integration of digital media in Content-based Language Teaching (CBLT) to improve reading comprehension in contexts involving English for Specific Purposes (ESP). Using a Classroom Action Research (CAR) design, the study was conducted over two cycles involving 79 undergraduate students from the Management Study Program at Universitas Bumigora. Digital media—including a Moodle-based Learning Management System (LMS), WhatsApp group discussions, and AI-generated video content–were implemented to support student engagement and content understanding. Quantitative data from pre- and post-tests revealed a significant improvement, with a mean score increase of 34.35 points (p < .001). Qualitative data from classroom observations indicated enhanced learner autonomy, increased peer collaboration, and better task engagement, particularly in the second cycle. The findings suggest that integrating digital platforms into ESP instruction improves comprehension and fosters student-centered learning environments. This study supports previous research on the pedagogical potential of digital media in language education and provides a practical model for embedding technology in higher education language classrooms.
