Abstract

Speech act study is important for our daily because it gives a comprehension of what message is discovered in every utterance. Austin (1962) stated that in uttering a sentence, a speaker is generally involved in three levels of speech acts, they are locutionary act, illocutionary act, and perlocutionary act. This study focuses on analyzing illocutionary acts in “Like Stars on Earth” movie. This movie teaches teachers and parents in the world about how to understand the aptitudes and limitations of a child. This study used descriptive qualitative method within the framework of applied linguistics, i.e., discourse analysis. In collecting data, the writer was watching and observing the utterances of dialogues in a movie. The writer selected the data from the characters’ utterances which are related to the topic, especially about illocutionary speech acts to the data sheet. Then, categorizing the data into types of illocutionary speech acts. This study was taking the appropriate utterances and omitting inappropriate utterances. There were  359 utterances found in the utterances that uttered by the main character in this movie. Types of illocutionary acts were directive 195 times, representative 106 times, expressive 39 times, declarative  7 times, and commisive 12 times. From the total of the data above, the directives act served as the dominant form among the five types of illocutionary acts. It shows that the main character often gives expression to the hearer  to do something.

Abstract

This paper uses a corpus-based analysis systematic literature review to track the influence of functionalism paradigm in second language writing (SLW) over the last five years. The data were analyzed by using keywords and collocation analysis to map the closest association of functional paradigm to second language writing.  It was then reviewed manually and thematized based on the research questions as the framework. Based on a corpus of 46 Scopus indexed journals ranges from 2017-2022 this study reveals that the influence of functionalism paradigm does not directly affect to SLW. Functional paradigm spawned the concept of context which then be interpreted and manifested into functional linguistic approach. Thus, studies on SLW revolves around the application of systemic functional linguistics (SFL) to either teaching or assessing SLW. The elements of functionalism paradigm that affects to SLW are the basic assumption and the values of functional paradigm that perceived each variable in a text has a purpose. As an implication, second language writing composition using SFL focuses on text purpose and lexicogrammatical features. Functional linguists perceive language diversity in second language writing as functional, ensuring mutual intelligibility if communicative functions work effectively.

Abstract

ChatGPT usage has gained popularity in education. ChatGPT is an AI that can produce human-like text and has implications for education. This study explored eight Indonesian English teachers’ lived experiences in integrating ChatGPT in their teaching preparation. In-service teachers’ perceptions, emotions, pedagogical activities, decision-making, and teaching transformations were explicated from their lived experiences through one-on-one in-depth interviews. The data gathered was later analyzed through transcendental framework analysis. The findings highlighted teachers’ various perceptions. Some considered this AI as a useful tool to generate ideas and materials with the awareness of its limitations in human-like understanding. Further, teachers experienced both excitement and concern towards ChatGPT. The integration practice resulted in improved teaching planning among teachers while retaining the quality after thoughtful adaptations. Additionally, ChatGPT helped teachers provide a better learning approach and contextualized learning. Significantly, as ChatGPT becomes more widely accessible, further research is required to guide teachers on its wiser utilisation.

Abstract

In this research, a descriptive qualitative design was employed to delve into the perspectives of reading teachers concerning the cultivation of students' critical thinking skills. Through in-depth interviews, the research aimed to unravel the specific methods and instructional techniques these teachers utilized to nurture critical thinking in their students. The research emphasized an open-ended interview process, allowing for a nuanced exploration of the strategies employed by experienced teachers, with a focus on those possessing over 10 years of teaching expertise. The findings revealed that reading teachers, according to the constructivist principles outlined by Brooks and Brooks (2005), acted as facilitators, empowering students to independently construct their understanding of content. The constructivist approach emphasized autonomy, hands-on experiences, and cognitive language use in assignments. Teachers adapted lessons based on student responses, encouraged dialogue, inquired about students' understandings before presenting their own, and fostered experiences that challenged initial hypotheses. Despite challenges posed by standardized testing and ingrained educational approaches, constructivist principles proved effective in cultivating critical thinking skills. The research contributed valuable insights into the complex dynamics of critical thinking in reading instruction, advocating for student-centric and constructivist approaches in education. Keywords: Reading teachers’ perspective: students, critical thinking

Abstract

Despite the acknowledged benefits of bilingualism in children's language development and executive functioning, a significant gap persists in understanding instances where bilingual children actively avoid using their acquired language skills with their parents. This study addresses this gap by examining the factors contributing to the reluctance of Indonesian children proficient in foreign languages to speak them with their parents. Through qualitative exploration deeply embedded in the participants' cultural and linguistic context, the research focuses on parental influence and intergenerational dynamics. This theme underscores parents' pivotal role in shaping bilingual children's language choices and preferences, revealing insights into their tendency to avoid speaking a foreign language. The complex dynamics of language dominance and exposure in bilingual families, influenced by factors such as parental beliefs, language policies, and the broader sociocultural context, are explored. The interplay between parental guidance and a child's preferences underscores the intricate nature of language dynamics within the family. Additionally, the study examines how navigating multicultural environments within bilingual families significantly impacts bilingual children. This unique case sheds light on how parental influence and cultural exposure jointly shape a child's bilingual language preferences, providing a nuanced understanding of language choices within a family setting.

Abstract

The modern mass population is affected by the hoax phenomenon in the information age, which has a negative impact on productivity, information integration, and social stability. This paper aims to contribute to the public's understanding and response to hoaxes, with a focus on literary and digital literary criticism. In this case, a careful and structured qualitative descriptive is used to identify a hoax phenomenon. This approach comes from two different perspectives. While literature analysis addresses the characteristics and nature of the information in question, other approaches involve empirical methods to examine the impact of language use on readers' perceptions and responses to hoaxes. One more example is the use of an online form that requires the use of a questionnaire that is unique to each individual. The results of the survey, which had 108 responses, showed that media literacy, intensive education, and mass media consumption were all important factors in achieving this goal. The results of this research show that there are various types of fabrication that are commonly found in the computerized period, and each has its own characteristics. One research focus is on political tricks, which are often used to influence public opinion or damage the reputation of political opponents through the spread of false claims about policies or statements taken out of context. The findings of the survey indicate that the mass media's literacy rate has increased as a result of the verification of information and analysis.

Abstract

Despite the existence of many studies on the analysis of grammatical errors in writing, little scholarly work reports the errors in academic articles, especially in medical journals. To fill this empirical gap, the present study investigates grammatical errors within written English abstracts of academic articles from a nursing journal in Indonesia. In particular, it attempts to classify the errors based on a surface strategy taxonomy proposed by Dulay et al. (1982), namely misformation, omission, addition, and misordering. The method used is content analysis. The results of this study indicate that errors were found from all four classification categories. Further, we noted that the most commonly found errors were in the category of misformation followed by omission, addition, and misordering. The findings of this research are expected to serve as a reference for future scholars when avoiding errors in writing English abstracts for academic articles.

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has transformed the form of interaction in the EFL classroom in Indonesia. Consequently, it is vital for Indonesian EFL teachers to analyse the current form of interaction in online settings to ensure quality teaching and learning. Even though many studies have addressed the issue, this study offers an alternative analysis by adapting FIACS (Flanders Interaction Analysis Category System) as one of the most common tools for classroom interaction analysis. This case study aimed to explore EFL classroom interaction by using FIACS as the framework. The necessary data was collected through direct and indirect observation between an EFL teacher and his lower secondary students. Based on the analysis, it appeared that the online EFL classroom interaction was dominated by the teacher. One of the causes was the passiveness of the students due to the technological glitches. The pattern and characteristics of the interaction also changed. One of the most notable changes was the difficulty to observe and manage the interaction between students. These observed features of the EFL online classroom portrayed how the class is conducted as well as ideas for other EFL teachers and practitioners to prepare and organize it.
