Abstract

The rise of digital technology has transformed communication and content creation, particularly on social media platforms like Instagram. This study explores how content creators use English and multimodal elements to engage audiences, the challenges they face, and how their English learning experiences influence their content creation practices. Using a qualitative approach, data were collected through semi-structured interviews with four Instagram content creators and an analysis of their digital artifacts. Findings reveal that content creators develop their English proficiency through formal education, self-learning via media exposure, and interactive digital communication. English is employed strategically to reach broader audiences, with creators combining it with their native language through code-switching. Multimodal elements, such as text, images, and audio, play a crucial role in enhancing engagement, enabling creators to convey messages effectively. Despite these advantages, challenges persist. Non-native English-speaking creators face difficulties in grammar accuracy, pronunciation, and vocabulary selection. To overcome these, they rely on tools like online dictionaries, AI-based applications, and audience feedback. The study also highlights that content creation fosters confidence in English use and enhances digital literacy skills. By examining the intersection of language learning, multimodal communication, and audience engagement, this research contributes to the understanding of English as a global language in digital spaces. The findings offer insights for educators, learners, and content creators seeking to navigate the evolving landscape of digital communication.

Abstract

This study examines the pragma-stylistic features of President Prabowo Subianto’s speech at the 2024 World Government Summit. Using Speech Act Theory by Austin (1962) and Searle (1969), the analysis identifies and categorizes different types of speech acts employed in the speech. The study focuses on how language functions as a strategic tool in political discourse, shaping perceptions and reinforcing ideological positions. A total of 57 sentences were extracted and analyzed to determine the frequency and distribution of speech act categories. The findings reveal that representative speech acts dominate the speech (57.89%), followed by expressive (15.79%), commissive (14.04%), directive (7.01%), and declarative (5.27%) acts. These results highlight the rhetorical strategies used by President Prabowo to assert political commitments, express national priorities, and engage with a global audience that revolves around trust with other country. This study enhances insight into how speech acts influence international discourse and contribute to the field of political communication.

Abstract

This study examines how phonological transfer from different regional accents affects the articulation of fricative consonants /f/, /v/, /θ/, and /ð/, leading to systematic pronunciation variations. Unlike previous research that broadly investigates Indonesian-English phonological differences, this study highlights how regional accents further shape L2 pronunciation patterns. Using qualitative research, data were collected through spoken language analysis and in-depth interviews with eight UIN Malang students from Pontianak, Sidoarjo, Indramayu, Bekasi, and Palangkaraya. Findings reveal that students from Malay-influenced regions (Pontianak and Palangkaraya) struggle more with fricative articulation than those from areas where the accent aligns more closely with Standard Indonesian (Sidoarjo, Indramayu, Bekasi). The most common errors include substituting /f/ with /p/ and /v/ with /b/, as well as replacing interdental fricatives with /s/, /t/, /d/, or /z/. These patterns result from phonological transfer, where L1 phonetic constraints shape L2 pronunciation, alongside the influence of exposure to diverse linguistic environments. These findings suggest that regional accents are not just linguistic variables but are also shaped by social and historical factors affecting foreign language acquisition. They underscore the need for pronunciation instruction that addresses accent-specific challenges rather than applying uniform teaching strategies. Language education policies should recognize regional phonetic diversity as a natural aspect of second language learning and develop more targeted pedagogical approaches to enhance pronunciation accuracy.

Abstract

This study investigates the effectiveness of the Reciprocal Teaching strategy in improving the reading comprehension of descriptive texts among first-semester students in the English Language Program at FBMB UNDIKMA. Grounded in Vygotsky’s social constructivist theory, Reciprocal Teaching encourages active student engagement through four key strategies: predicting, questioning, clarifying, and summarizing. Employing a quasi-experimental design with a posttest-only control group, the research involved 37 students and utilized pretest and posttest assessments to measure comprehension gains. The findings revealed a significant improvement in students' reading scores following the intervention, as evidenced by a mean score increase from 66.84 to 76.89 and a statistically significant p-value of 0.000. These results suggest that the Reciprocal Teaching strategy is a highly effective approach for enhancing students’ understanding of descriptive texts, promoting not only improved academic outcomes but also greater engagement and metacognitive awareness. The study underscores the potential of Reciprocal Teaching as a practical instructional method, while also noting challenges such as time constraints and classroom management. Future research should explore broader applications of the strategy across diverse text types and educational settings.
