Abstract

Study explores the manjae tradition of the Batak Toba Toba community as a form of oral cultural expression that integrates language, ritual, and social values. Positioned within the framework of anthropolinguistics, the research investigates how customary speech, gestures, and symbolic materials function as performative acts that signify social transition, particularly following marriage. Using a qualitative ethnographic approach, data were collected through participant observation, in-depth interviews, and textual documentation, with analysis guided by Spradley’s ethnographic model and speech act theory. The findings reveal that manjae comprises distinct ritual stages—mamio, core ceremonial activities, and manjalangi—each rich in structured speech and symbolic performance. Expressions such as “Horas ma dihita sasudena” and “Hamuna ma situtupi adatmuna” reflect layered functions of advice, blessing, and identity affirmation. The study highlights how elements like ulos, proxemic arrangements, and kinetic gestures reinforce social legitimacy and cultural continuity. In doing so, this research contributes to the understanding of oral tradition not merely as storytelling, but as a dynamic system of communication and cultural inheritance. It also underscores the urgency of preserving manjae amidst sociocultural change, offering a significant contribution to the fields of linguistic anthropology and cultural heritage studies.

Abstract

The rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI) has introduced new opportunities for language learning, particularly through tools such as ChatGPT. Despite its global use, the ChatGPT application in Indonesian high schools remains limited, particularly in supporting independent learning under the Independent Curriculum. This study investigated the effectiveness of ChatGPT in enhancing students’ English learning independence, with a focus on engagement, motivation, and performance. A mixed-methods design was applied in three Banda Aceh schools (SMA 3, SMA 4, and SMA 5). Data were gathered through pre-tests and post-tests with 102 students divided into experimental groups using ChatGPT and control groups using conventional methods. Quantitative data were analysed using descriptive statistics, the Shapiro-Wilk test, Levene’s test, and paired sample t-tests, while qualitative data were examined thematically. Results showed significant improvement across schools. SMA 3 increased from a pretest mean of 80.39 to a posttest mean of 94.17 (t = 16.60, p = 3.646e-18). SMA 4 rose from 74.00 to 91.00 (t = 23.49, p = 5.164e-23), while SMA 5, with the lowest baseline (57.10), reached 83.93 (t = 17.09, p = 1.106e-16). Homogeneity tests indicated pretest variances differed (p = 0.001), but posttest variances became homogeneous (p = 0.650). The novelty of this study lies in showing that ChatGPT not only improved achievement but also reduced variability among students. In conclusion, ChatGPT effectively fostered independent English learning, balanced student outcomes, and offered a promising tool for adaptive, self-directed learning in Indonesian high schools.

Abstract

This study examines how the use of ChatGPT, an AI-driven chatbot, influences learners’ speaking anxiety and their spoken performance in an English as a Foreign Language setting. The analysis is guided by a framework of language-learning anxiety that highlights three key components of speaking anxiety: communication apprehension, fear of negative evaluation, and test anxiety. A qualitative approach was employed, involving 30 university students from Eastern Indonesia. Data were collected through a 25-item Likert-scale questionnaire adapted from FLCAS, six open-ended questions, and semi-structured interviews with 10 selected participants. The findings reveal that ChatGPT plays a crucial role in reducing communication apprehension, fear of negative evaluation, and test anxiety, allowing students to practice speaking English in a low-pressure environment. Notably, findings showed that after using ChatGPT in speaking practice, 60% of students experienced moderate speaking anxiety, while 26.67% exhibited high levels and 13.33% reported low anxiety. Additionally, frequent AI-assisted interaction enhances fluency, confidence, and structured speech formulation, improving oral proficiency. However, limitations were identified in pronunciation feedback, conversational naturalness, and expressive interaction, suggesting that AI should serve as a supplementary tool rather than a standalone language learning solution. Given these findings, future AI improvements should focus on voice recognition for pronunciation accuracy, adaptive conversational dynamics, and multimodal interaction strategies. This study underscores ChatGPT’s potential to effectively reduce speaking anxiety while advocating for integrated AI-human interaction approaches in language education to support comprehensive and immersive speaking practice.

Abstract

Emerging as a digital reaction to economic hardship, and later as a form of political critique, this hashtag represents the dynamic nature of public discourse in Indonesia. This study analyzes how language functions as a performative instrument in online activism through the hashtag #KaburAjaDulu on the social media platform X (formerly Twitter). This study uses a mixed-methods approach that combining qualitative and quantitative analyses based on Searle's Speech Act Theory. Data were collected from influencer accounts verified with a blue checkmark or having more than 2,000 followers on their personal accounts on X during two viral periods in 2025 (February and September) to identify and classify the illocutionary acts used by social media users. These findings reveal variations in how illocutionary acts construct collective meaning and reflect public sentiment across various ongoing sociopolitical contexts. This study found that assertive illocutionary acts were the most dominant, followed by Directive, Expressive, and Commissive illocutionary acts. Rather than being a mere linguistic phenomenon, the hashtag functions as a space in which individual emotions, social critique, the expression of aspirations, and political awareness converge. This study highlights the evolving relationship between language, digital communication, and social psychology, providing new insights into how online expressions can mobilize discourse and shape collective attitudes in a digital society.

Abstract

This study investigated how students’ English pronunciation skills improved through the implementation of the shadowing technique combined with minimal pairs practice. The study aimed to address students’ pronunciation problems, specifically errors in vowel and consonant articulation and inconsistent intonation patterns, which hindered their fluency and intelligibility. The participants were 37 students enrolled in the Pronunciation course of the English Education Study Program at IKIP Siliwangi during the even semester of the 2024/2025 academic year. The research followed two action research cycles, each involving the stages of planning, action, observation, and reflection. Data were collected through pronunciation pre-tests, cycle assessments, post-tests, classroom observations, and reflective journals. Quantitative data were analyzed by comparing the average pronunciation scores across the stages, while qualitative data were used to describe behavioral and attitudinal changes. The findings revealed a significant improvement in students’ pronunciation performance, with the average score increasing from 46.1 in the pre-test to 75.6 in Cycle 1 and 82.8 in Cycle 2. Students demonstrated greater accuracy in producing segmental sounds and showed more natural rhythm and intonation patterns in spoken tasks. The integration of shadowing and minimal pairs proved effective in enhancing both fluency and accuracy. These results imply that incorporating systematically structured and interactive pronunciation activities into English language instruction can provide a practical and effective approach for addressing learners’ segmental and suprasegmental difficulties, ultimately supporting more intelligible and confident oral communication.

Abstract

Stage name is a popular phenomenon in the world of celebrities, especially singers. Through stage names, it is expected that the singers are more recognizable to the public. We argue that stage names might function as a charactonym in which the singers play a different character than they are in the real world. To prove this claim, we first attempted to reveal the types of stage names and second to unveil how the stage names function as charactonym. A collection of singers' stage names was investigated by employing the theories from Lyons (1977) theory that discusses the types of names, and Coates (2018) theory discusses names that form charactonyms. In this research, Indonesian singers such as Jaz are included in the type of name senses and the form of interpretation charactonym, while Budi Doremi is included in the type of name references and Hindia is included in the type of name denotation, both of which have the form of charactonym role playing. This research has the theoretical implication that looking at stage names in terms of charactonyms can be used as a guideline to investigate stage names from the perspective of charactonym.

Abstract

The aim of this research is to analyze the strategies for interacting with audiences implemented by the Gerindra Party admin in the context of political communication via social media TikTok and X (Twitter). Given the increasing use of social media as a political communication tool, this study investigates how political parties can use digital platforms to reach wider audiences, especially the younger generation. The research method used in this research is online observation of the Gerindra Party admin's response to uploaded content and interactions with the audience. The results show that the communication strategy on TikTok focuses on informational and persuasive approaches, using engaging audio-visual content and popular hashtags to increase engagement. Meanwhile, social media admin X implemented a more informed and responsive strategy by sharing infographics and responding quickly to user comments. A comparative analysis of the two platforms reveals that although the goals of political communication are similar, the approaches used are different, depending on the characteristics of each platform. The findings of this research highlight the effectiveness of political communication strategies in the digital era and demonstrate the importance of adapting to social media trends to build a positive image and increase public engagement. This study aims to provide practical information to political parties to develop more effective communication strategies on social media and to deepen understanding of the dynamics of political communication in the public sphere. Keywords: Communication Strategy, Politics, TikTok, X, Gerindra Party Admin

Abstract

The paper investigates L1 English learners' knowledge of syntax and morphology in L2 Urdu to test the bottleneck hypothesis. The Bottleneck Hypothesis examines what is difficult and easy to learn in L2. According to the hypothesis, acquiring a second language functional morphology is more challenging than syntax. The present study tested whether subject verb agreement is more complicated than word ordering in the second language L2 (Urdu). The study differs in several respects (Methodology and Languages L1& L2) from other previous studies (Salbakova, 2008, 2013, 2014, 2018; Basnet, 2013; Jensen et al., 2020; Rajabi, 2022). Content Analysis and Quantitative methods have been used in this study to get the answer to the research questions and prove the research hypothesis. The result indicates that the learners struggle more in acquiring subject verb agreement than word order. The study concludes that the findings impart conditional support to the Bottleneck Hypothesis.
