Abstract

This study aims to analyze the structure of positive discourse in the speech delivered by Joko Widodo at the Bloomberg New Economy Forum in Singapore. This research employs a qualitative approach using the discourse analysis framework of Teun A. van Dijk, which includes macrostructure, superstructure, and microstructure, combined with the Positive Discourse Analysis approach. The findings reveal that the structure of positive discourse can be identified through macrostructure, superstructure, and microstructure. At the macrostructure level, the speech presents a main theme of Indonesia’s economic transformation toward a data- and technology-based intelligence economy. At the superstructure level, the speech is systematically organized into three main parts—introduction, body, and conclusion—forming a logical and persuasive flow. Meanwhile, at the microstructure level, the analysis covers semantic, syntactic, stylistic, and rhetorical aspects that function to reinforce positive messages such as optimism, progress, and readiness for the future. Therefore, the speech is not only informative but also persuasive and inspirational in constructing a positive image of Indonesia on the global stage.

Abstract

This study investigates junior high school students' perceptions of using digital sandbox games to improve their English vocabulary. As traditional rote memorization methods often fail to engage "digital native" learners, this research explores the potential of popular commercial games like Minecraft and Roblox as supplementary educational tools. Guided by theories of second language acquisition (Krashen, 1982; Vygotsky, 1978) and self-determination (Deci & Ryan, 1985), this descriptive study used a quantitative approach with a purposeful sample of 67 students from a specific institution. Data was collected through a Likert-scale questionnaire. The findings reveal that students hold a positive attitude towards game-based learning and perceive these games as effective tools for vocabulary mastery, especially due to their immersive and interactive features. While the games were seen as effective for understanding and remembering new words, students did report challenges, primarily the lack of school support for game- based learning. The results suggest that digital sandbox games can be a valuable, student- centered tool for enhancing vocabulary acquisition, and the study contributes to the limited research on the use of commercial games for formal education among this specific demographic.

Abstract

This research analyzes the realization of metafunctions in selected songs from Noah Kahan’s Stick Season album using Halliday’s Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL) framework. The study focuses on ideational metafunction and explores how language constructs meaning in song lyrics. A qualitative descriptive method was applied to five selected songs: Stick Season, All My Love, Strawberry Wine, Growing Sideways, and You’re Gonna Go Far. Data were collected from official lyric videos and analyzed at the clause level. Findings reveal that mental processes dominate the ideational metafunction, as seen in “I am terrified of weather ’cause I see you when it rains,” reflecting inner experiences.

Abstract

This study aims to unveil the patterns and rationales of code-switching employed by an English teacher during classroom interaction. Using a qualitative approach with a phenomenological method, the researcher observed the teaching-learning process in the 7th grade at SMP PGRI Sambeng. The patterns of code-switching were analyzed based on Poplack’s theory, while the rationales were examined through Hoffman’s framework and teacher interviews. The data were processed through reduction, display, and conclusion drawing. The findings revealed 42 instances of code-switching, where intra-sentential switching emerged as the dominant pattern (18 utterances), followed by tag switching (13 utterances) and intersentential switching (11 utterances). Regarding the rationales, four primary factors were identified from observations: talking about a particular topic, interjections, repetitions for clarification, and the intention of clarifyng speech content. Furthermore, interview results highlighted three contextual rationales: the students’ diverse English proficiency, the status of English as a foreign language, and the linguistic transition from elementary to junior high school. These results indicate that code-switching serves as a vital pedagogical tool to bridge communication gaps in EFL discourse.
