Abstract

        This research examines the language style used by Anies Baswedan in the “Desak Anies” program on Kompas TV, focusing on how assertive communication strategies are adapted to modern media platforms in Indonesia's political landscape. Using a qualitative approach with content analysis, episodes aired between January and December 2023 were analyzed based on McNair’s political communication theory and Austin’s speech act theory. The findings highlight four main assertive communication styles: basic assertion for clarity, empathic assertion for emotional connection, escalating assertion for firm responses, and confrontative assertion for addressing misinformation. By maintaining message consistency across platforms, this study emphasizes how political figures can effectively engage audiences, build trust, and shape public opinion in the digital era. This research contributes to the understanding of political communication strategies in Indonesia's ever-evolving media context.

Abstract

           This study investigates the ability of sixth-semester students in the English Education Study Program at UMMY Solok (2023/2024) to use affixation in word formation. Using a descriptive quantitative method, the study involved 17 students, divided into two groups through random sampling. Six students participated in a tryout, while ten students were selected as the research sample. Data were collected through a test assessing students' understanding of prefixes, suffixes, and their combinations. The findings indicate that students performed well with prefixes, fairly with suffixes, and poorly when combining prefixes and suffixes. Errors were most common when students were unsure of how to correctly attach affixes to root words. These results highlight the need for targeted instructional strategies to enhance students’ morphological competence. The study contributes to curriculum development and suggests incorporating additional affixation-focused materials and training. Future research may further explore affixation difficulties and their impact on linguistic proficiency.

Abstract

         The language used in digital marketing, particularly on social media platforms like Instagram, reflects unique patterns that differ significantly from everyday spoken interaction. This study aims to explore how linguistic registers are used in commercial communication on Instagram, focusing on the account @dailyluxury_id. It also examines how these registers can be utilized in English language teaching. Using a qualitative descriptive method, the study analyzed 50 Instagram captions posted between January and March 2024. Content analysis was employed to identify and classify the registers based on word types (such as nouns and verbs) and their meanings, which were grouped into two categories: lexical (dictionary-based) and contextual (influenced by marketing purposes). The results show that 11 frequently used words appeared, with nouns (36.36%) and verbs (18.18%) being the most common, reflecting a focus on promotion and transaction. About 54.54% of the meanings followed standard dictionary definitions, while 45.45% had contextual meanings that conveyed urgency, exclusivity, or community engagement. For example, the word ready implies immediate availability, while local lovers create a sense of belonging. These language strategies contribute to a conversational yet persuasive tone that supports digital marketing goals. The study concludes that the use of registers on Instagram is purposeful and adapted to the target audience. It also suggests that such linguistic features can be integrated into English language teaching to expose learners to authentic, socially relevant materials—particularly in courses related to sociolinguistics, digital communication, or business English.

The objective was to enhance students’ vocabulary through the implementation of flashcards as a learning tool. The study employed classroom action research based on the Kemmis and McTaggart model, conducted in two cycles comprising the stages of planning, action, observation, and reflection. A total of 30 students from class VII–7 participated in the study. Data were collected through observations and vocabulary tests. The results revealed a significant improvement in students’ vocabulary mastery, with the average test score increasing from 67.8 (33.3%) in Cycle 1 (categorized as low) to 82.8 (73.3%) in Cycle 2 (categorized as high). These findings indicate that the use of flashcards is an effective strategy for enhancing vocabulary acquisition among junior high school students.

Abstract

        Vocabulary retention is a persistent challenge for beginner EFL learners. This classroom action research investigated the effectiveness of Gimkit, a digital game-based learning tool, in improving vocabulary mastery among seventh-grade students at UPTD SMPN 2 Kisaran. The study was conducted over two action-research cycles based on the Kemmis and McTaggart (1988) model and involved 32 students from class VII-9 who had low initial vocabulary scores. Data were gathered through vocabulary tests and student interviews. The results demonstrated a notable improvement in mastery: only 18.75% of students passed the minimum criterion in the pre-test, which increased to 46.87% in Cycle 1 and 90.6% in Cycle 2. The integration of visual aids and the use of Gimkit’s rematch feature in Cycle 2 enhanced student engagement and memory retention. Interviews indicated that students found the learning process more enjoyable and motivating. Nonetheless, some learners continued to experience difficulties in vocabulary retention due to external factors such as health issues and personal challenges. These findings highlight the potential of Gimkit as an effective and engaging digital tool to support vocabulary acquisition in EFL classrooms, particularly at the beginner level.

Abstract

       This study addresses the low level of student interest in English learning among Grade VII-8 students at SMP Negeri 2 Kisaran by implementing the Teaching at the Right Level (TaRL) approach in combination with interactive media. The primary challenge identified was students’ lack of engagement, which contributed to reduced participation and suboptimal learning outcomes. Employing a Classroom Action Research (CAR) design over two cycles, the study followed the stages of planning, implementation, observation, and reflection. The participants consisted of 32 students, with data collected through observation, documentation, and learning outcome tests. Results demonstrated a positive impact on both student interest and academic performance. Notably, the proportion of students in the “very good” performance category (scores 90–100) increased from 0% to 6.6%, and those in the “good” category (80–89) rose from 6.6% to 26.7%. Concurrently, the number of students in the “poor” category (below 75) decreased from 55.7% to 41.4%. Observations also indicated improved classroom participation, enthusiasm, and involvement in discussions. While these findings suggest that the TaRL approach and interactive media can enhance student engagement and outcomes, further research employing statistical analysis is recommended to confirm the significance of these improvements.

Abstract

        Speaking anxiety is a common issue among students in an English learning context, particularly when engaging in oral presentations. This study investigates whether chatbot-assisted preparation can reduce speaking anxiety among non-English major students. Employing pre-test post-test control group design, 40 participants were randomly distributed to either an experimental group (preparation with chatbot assistance) or a control group (preparation without chatbot assistance). A modified, Indonesian-translated version of the Foreign Language Classroom Anxiety Scale (FLCAS) was used to measure anxiety levels. Independent pre-test comparisons showed no significant difference between groups (p = 0.635), indicating baseline equivalence. Paired-sample t-test results revealed a significant decrease in anxiety within the experimental group (p < 0.001), while the control group showed no significant change (p = 0.558). Finally, independent post-test comparisons indicated a significantly lower anxiety level in the experimental group compared to the control group (p = 0.002). These findings suggest that chatbots can be a valuable tool for reducing speaking anxiety and enhancing oral performance in foreign language education.
