Abstract

The objective of this research was to find out the result of the pronunciation skills of students in Junior High School before and after being given treatment using the tongue twister technique through the Twistify application. The populations in this research were students of class VIII SMP Negeri 1 Tayu, Pati, Central Java, Indonesia. The sample consisted of 34 students from class VIII B. The researcher used pre-experimental and implemented one group pre-test and post-test design. Based on the results, there was an increase in students’ pronunciation skills from the pre-test with a mean score of 58.35 to the post-test with a mean score of 80 and an increase from the pre-test to the post-test by 37.10%. From the data calculation, the researcher found that the t-test result was 46.442, and the value of df (degree of freedom) was 33. The t-table value was obtained from df = 33 so that t-table = 2.035, so (t0 > tt), 46.442 > 2.035. The Alternative Hypothesis (Ha) was accepted, and the Null Hypothesis (H0) was rejected. Thus, there was a significant difference between students’ pronunciation skills before and after being given treatment using the tongue twister technique through the Twistify application.

Abstract

Analysis of Idiomatic Expressions in the Movie "The Call of the Wild." The purpose of this research is to identify the different idiomatic that were used in the movie “The Call of the Wild” and to decipher their true meanings. Researchers employed the theory of McCarty and O'Dell and an idiom dictionary to address the set research topics. This study employs qualitative descriptive research techniques. Data analysis was done by reducing and displaying information to conclude. The study's conclusions are as follows: the six kinds of McCarty and O'Dell idiomatic idioms were discovered in the movie The Call of the Wild. The six categories of terms are similes idiom (7%), binomials idiom (5%), proverbs idiom (16%), euphemisms idiom (22%), cliches idiom (17%), and fixed statement idiom (33%). The most common form of idiomatic expression is a Fixed Statement idiom, the dominating idiom. On the other hand, binomial idioms are the style of idiomatic expression that The Call of the Wild uses the least. The implied meaning of idiomatic can be deduced from the context of the statement in the movie. Idioms cannot be understood in just one word or phrase, so they must be understood in one sentence or paragraph to understand the meaning of the original context.

Abstract

This study explores students' experiences of anxiety and fear when engaging in public speaking and examines the impact of these emotions on language development. Despite the importance of public speaking in personal, academic, and professional domains, many students face challenges of anxiety and fear. Understanding how these emotions (affect) language development is crucial for teaching practices. Drawing on the theory of language development, this study aims to investigate students' anxiety and fear during public speaking and their language development processes. Through in-depth interviews and participant observations, the study seeks to capture students' perspectives and experiences in relation to their anxiety and fear. The qualitative analysis explored the nature and manifestations of the two, focusing on factors such as fear of judgment, self-consciousness, and performance anxiety. The research findings contribute to a deeper understanding of the complex interplay between anxiety, fear, and language development in the context of public speaking. This study provides valuable insights to inform possible instructional strategies. Recommendations based on the theory of language development highlight the importance of creating supportive and inclusive learning environments, implementing targeted interventions, and fostering students' self-confidence in public speaking contexts

Abstract

This research investigates how the combination of heutagogy and cybergogy can enhance students' abilities in understanding, speaking, reading, and writing in the Indonesian language. Through the General Basic Course (MKDU), the Indonesian language plays a crucial role in education in Indonesia as it is the official language in all fields. The Indonesian language course aims to improve students' communication skills in Indonesian effectively and correctly. In addressing these issues, the discussion context focuses on alternative ideas for teaching approaches in higher education to encourage Indonesian language educators to present learning in an effective and enjoyable manner. To achieve this, the author proposes two strategies: heutagogy, which involves educating by encouraging students to have self-directing skills, and cybergogy, a strategy that incorporates learning by utilizing information technology. The implications of this research can be used as a foundation for the development of language learning methods in higher education institutions.

Abstract

This research aims to explain the framing contained in the Editorial Review Media Indonesia Metro TV program "Expensive Lessons from the Bromo Fire". This research was conducted using framing analysis proposed by Zong Dang Pan and Gerald M. Kosicki. Pan and Kosicki's framing analysis focuses more on dividing news structures into four parts, namely syntactic, script, thematic, and rhetorical structures. The research method used is a qualitative descriptive method, which is carried out by describing data in the form of words. Data was collected through listening and note-taking techniques. The research results show that the editorial analysis of the Metro TV program has fulfilled the entire news structure, starting from syntactic, script, thematic, and rhetorical structures. Based on its syntactic structure, the Metro TV editorial review program chooses to use titles that are concise, clear, and cover the entire content of the news. Based on the structure of the manuscript, the editorial review program meets the 5W+1H principle. If seen from its thematic structure, the editorial review program is divided into seven interrelated parts. Likewise, based on the rhetorical structure, the editorial review program also adds images and videos to support the truth of the information displayed.

Abstract

The efficient administration of English culture in semi-military academies becomes a substantial area to cover as long as these institutions remain major players in molding future leaders. This research looks at the difficulties, approaches, and results of maintaining English culture in the special setting of a semi-military institution. Language hurdles, cultural misinterpretations, and difficulties between academic independence and military discipline are only a few of the difficulties that are shown by the findings. To promote cultural diversity and strengthen institutional cohesiveness, cutting-edge tactics, including inclusive curriculum design, bilingual programs, and cultural competency training, have been recognized as crucial. The survey also emphasizes the perceived benefits of successful English cultural management, which include better performance in school, better interpersonal abilities, and a stronger feeling of community among students and staff. This study provides theoretical insights into the dynamic interactions between culture, education, and institutional identity by drawing on theories of cultural management, education, and organizational behavior. Moreover, it offers useful suggestions for teachers, administrators, and legislators who want to encourage inclusivity and diversity of culture in semi-military academies and other similar educational environments.
