Abstract

This study examines the use of speech acts in persuasive communication during presidential election debates by analyzing how locutionary, illocutionary, and perlocutionary acts operate within political discourse and shape public responses. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, the research draws data from official debate transcripts and audience reactions on platform X, focusing on how utterances function pragmatically and how audiences interpret or resist the intended messages. The analysis employs Austin’s and Searle’s speech act theory, supported by the felicity condition framework, to identify persuasive strategies embedded in assertive, directive, commissive, expressive, and declarative acts. Debate utterances were transcribed, categorized, and compared with public responses to determine whether the perlocutionary effects aligned with or diverged from the intended illocutionary force. Findings reveal a dominant use of assertive acts in shaping arguments and influencing public perception, although the degree of perlocutionary success varied across topics. Audience responses reveal that felicity conditions—particularly propositional content, sincerity, and essential conditions—play a crucial role in determining whether persuasive attempts succeed or result in misunderstanding, resistance, or rejection. Positive alignment between illocution and perlocution emerged when messages were perceived as credible and contextually grounded. In contrast, infelicities occurred when audiences doubted the intentions, accuracy, or feasibility of the claims presented. Overall, the study underscores the centrality of speech acts in shaping persuasive political discourse and demonstrates how public interpretation significantly impacts the effectiveness of persuasive communication in electoral contexts.

Abstract

The integration of technology in language learning, particularly Computer-Assisted Language Learning (CALL), has made online machine translation (OMT) a common tool for EFL students. However, its impact on specific writing skills, such as grammatical accuracy, remains a subject of debate, with concerns about over-reliance and passive learning. This study aimed to empirically investigate the effect of using OMT as a CALL tool on the grammatical accuracy and vocabulary diversity in the writing of Indonesian EFL students. A quasi-experimental design was employed with 57 first-year EFL students, divided into an experimental group (n=30) that used OMT and a control group (n=27) that did not. Data were collected through pre-test and post-test writing assessments and analysed using paired and independent t-tests. A supplementary survey provided qualitative insights into the students' experiences. The experimental group demonstrated a statistically significant improvement in writing scores (mean pre-test=40.83, post-test=76.93; p < 0.001), far exceeding the minimal gain in the control group (mean pre-test=42.70, post-test=45.78). An independent t-test confirmed a significant difference between the groups post-intervention (t=18.004, p < 0.001). Qualitatively, while 80% of users reported proficiency with OMT, 40% noted challenges with contextual understanding. The use of OMT as a CALL tool significantly enhances EFL students' writing performance, particularly in grammatical accuracy. However, to mitigate over-reliance and maximize learning outcomes, educator guidance is crucial to ensure critical and autonomous use of this technology.

Abstract

This study was motivated by students' low self-confidence and English speaking skills, which were influenced by weak learning motivation and limited learning media that lacked variety. Artificial intelligence (AI) offers an innovative solution through interactive applications that can function as personal practice companions. Preliminary study results from interviews with students at MA Model Zainul Hasan show that 75% of students have below-average speaking skills, which is caused by a lack of confidence and limited time for practice. This study aims to determine the effect of using AI as a practice companion on improving students' confidence and English speaking skills. The method used is pre-experimental with a one group pre-test and post-test design, involving 84 students as samples. The research instruments are confidence questionnaires and speaking skill assessments. The results of the analysis using the paired sample t-test showed a significant increase after the intervention: the average confidence increased from 58.95 to 67.08 (p = 0.000), and speaking skills increased from 55.67 to 66.17 (p = 0.000). These findings prove that the use of AI can significantly improve students' self-confidence and speaking skills. This study contributes to the use of technology in English language learning, particularly in developing students' speaking skills and self-confidence.

Abstract

This study investigates how the speech acts of request, refusal, and apology are realized across two culturally and linguistically distinct languages: English and Mandarin. Grounded in speech act theory and contemporary approaches to politeness and facework, the research examines how interactional norms, sociocultural values, and contextual expectations shape speakers’ pragmatic choices. While existing scholarship has extensively analyzed these speech acts individually, cross-cultural studies that integrate all three within a unified comparative framework remain limited. To address this gap, the present study employs a qualitative, discourse-based methodology incorporating naturally occurring spoken interactions, documentary and digital media data, and contextual commentaries. Conversation Analysis (CA) and thematic analysis are used to explore linguistic strategies, sequential organization, and culturally embedded meanings.Findings reveal systematic contrasts in directness, mitigation, sequencing, and face-management orientations. English speakers tend to favor explicit forms, efficient sequencing, and concise justification, reflecting low-context communication norms. Mandarin speakers employ greater indirectness, elaborate mitigation, relational alignment, and self-effacement, consistent with high-context communication and face-sensitive cultural orientations. However, patterns also vary by setting, social distance, power relations, and communicative medium, demonstrating that pragmatic behavior is shaped by both cultural tendencies and situational constraints.The study contributes to cross-cultural pragmatics by offering a comparative, multi-layered account of how requests, refusals, and apologies are constructed and negotiated in English and Mandarin. The findings have implications for intercultural communication, language pedagogy, and the development of pragmatic competence among speakers navigating bilingual or multilingual environments.

Abstract

This study examined the use of speech acts and politeness strategies in political campaign billboards from an applied linguistics perspective. It aimed to reveal how linguistic choices in political messages reflected persuasive and culturally appropriate communication during the 2025–2030 gubernatorial election in Central Java, Indonesia. A total of 200 billboard texts representing two candidate pairs were collected and analyzed using a qualitative descriptive approach. The analysis applied speech act theory to identify locutionary, illocutionary, and perlocutionary acts, as well as politeness maxims to explore social values embedded in the language use. The findings showed that directive and expressive acts were dominant, functioning to attract public sympathy and reinforce candidate credibility. Positive politeness strategies were frequently employed to maintain social harmony and align with Javanese cultural norms of respect and humility. The study contributes to applied linguistics by demonstrating how pragmatic competence operates in real-life persuasive discourse and offers pedagogical insights for teaching pragmatic awareness in political and professional communication contexts.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of using Langsa City folklore, translated from Indonesian into English, in enhancing children’s English learning outcomes. The research background stems from students’ low motivation and limited English proficiency, as well as the need for contextual and culturally relevant learning media. The study employed a quasi-experimental design involving two groups: the experimental group (n=30), which received instruction using translated folklore, and the control group (n=30), which followed conventional learning methods. Data were collected through pre- and post-tests of English competence, learning motivation questionnaires, and interviews with teachers and students. The findings indicate a significant improvement in the experimental group compared to the control group, both in English proficiency (p < 0.001) and learning motivation (? = +0.9). Qualitative analysis revealed that students were more enthusiastic and engaged with the material due to its familiar cultural values. The main challenges included limited time and difficulty in translating certain cultural vocabulary directly. Overall, the study concludes that translated Langsa folklore is an effective medium to enhance students’ learning outcomes and motivation in English language education. The implications emphasize the importance of developing local wisdom-based teaching materials to support foreign language learning in secondary schools.

Abstract

A differentiated teaching module, developed systematically and contextually over five sessions improve the language skills. The development of a differentiated teaching module in Indonesian language learning had a positive impact on students with ADHD. The paper aims to design to accommodate diverse student learning characteristics, taking into account content, processes, and learning products. The research is qualitative, supported by R&D and ADDIE models as techniques. The population includes all students with ADHD problems at a state school, and there are only two students classified in the sample. Data are collected through observation and in-depth interviews; both are conducted with classroom teachers, the teachers’ group, and parents. A documentation study also assists data collection. Focus is given on students’ attention, interaction, social skills, and engagement during learning, interviews, and the Indonesian language test. Data analysis technique uses qualitative methods in three stages: data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion. The research reveals several challenges in implementing the differentiated teaching module. Teachers face obstacles in adapting learning strategies to students’ needs, especially in heterogeneous classrooms. Further training is needed for teachers to implement differentiated learning methods. With the teaching module, schools can improve the quality of inclusive education for their students, enabling them to obtain a more optimal learning experience. This research also emphasizes the importance of collaboration between teachers, parents, and the school in supporting students’ academic and social development with ADHD through a more flexible and responsive learning approach to their needs.

Abstract

Indonesian-speaking skills of fourth-grade students are low because of a lack of confidence, fluency, and minimal active participation in conventional oral learning. This study also aims to determine the effectiveness of using language game learning methods in improving students' speaking skills and activity. The research method uses Kemmis and McTaggart’s Classroom Action Research (CAR) model, which is implemented in two cycles, where each cycle consists of four stages. The subjects are 30 fourth-grade students. Data collection instruments include a performance test (oral assessment) and student activity observation sheets. The criteria for the success of the action are determined if the percentage of classical completeness reaches at least 80%. The results show that there is a consistent and significant increase. The average score of students’ speaking skills in the pre-action stage only reaches 55.00, with a very low percentage of classical completeness. After the implementation of language games in Cycle I, the average score increases to 72.50 (65% completeness). Through corrective actions in Cycle II, the average score increases again to 85.00, and the classical completion percentage reaches 90%. This improvement is also accompanied by increasing students’ activity and confidence in speaking in class. Based on these results, this study concludes that the language game learning method is effective and successful in developing Indonesian speaking skills. This method has been proven to create a fun, interactive learning environment and motivate students to dare to speak, so the action hypothesis is accepted.

Abstract

Bilingualism is a linguistic phenomenon characterized by the use of two languages in everyday life. In a bilingual context, communication practices often give rise to the phenomena of code switching and code mixing as language strategies. Code switching is understood as the practice of alternating between languages in discourse, while code mixing entails the incorporation of components from different languages into one utterance without an entire switch of language. A descriptive qualitative method was utilized in this study to analyze the observed phenomena. The research data was obtained from a video podcast by Maudy Ayunda and Jovial da Lopez entitled Dating Tips: 'Jangan Dikit-Dikit Putus". The data collection technique was carried out by watching and transcribing all the utterances in the video, then identifying and grouping the utterances that contained code switching and code mixing. Data analysis emphasized the process of identification, grouping, and interpretation of linguistic data. This study aims to investigate and understand the functions and roles of code switching and code mixing in conveying information, shaping audience perceptions, and representing the speaker's social identity. The results show that code mixing is more dominant than code switching, with alternation being the most common form. These findings indicate that the use of two languages plays a role in clarifying meaning, emphasizing messages, and creating a flexible and natural communication style in casual conversations on digital media.
