Abstract

Speaking ability plays an important role in communicative competence. How well someone speak will determine how others will perceive their ability in English. Therefore, being able to present Personal Branding in the classroom will help students exercise how promote themselves once they join the job market after they graduate. Personal Branding project showcases students’ speaking ability. Their Grammar, Vocabulary, Pronunciation, Fluency, and Comprehension are carefully assessed using Brown’s speaking scoring rubric. There are small number of studies focusing on analyzing students’ speaking ability in Personal Branding. Besides, Personal Branding is a newly introduced project in Public Speaking Class at English Literature Class of English Department Universitas Negeri Padang. Consequently, there needs to be some analysis and review of this project in the classroom. This research utilized Descriptive Quantitative method with 23 students of English Literature as the sample. The results show that students’ Comprehension obtain the highest score with 4 out of 5 points, closely followed by Vocabulary and Fluency with 3,91 and 3,83 out of 5. Meanwhile, Grammar and Pronunciation followed last with an average score of 3,39 and 3,17 out of 5. This contrast suggests that although students demonstrate a strong understanding of meaning during speaking tasks, they experience greater difficulty in maintaining smooth and confident oral expression, revealing a gap between their comprehension and their ability to pronounce language well. For their overall score, all of the students passed the Personal Branding project with an average score of 73,22 out of 100. In conclusion, Personal Branding as a project can be implemented in the classroom with more pronunciation practices beforehand. Students’ ability in executing this project well also help them preparing their personal brand once they join the job market.

Abstract

This study investigates the construction of identity and voice through language, power, and culture in Disney’s Encanto (2021), with a particular emphasis on the character Mirabel Madrigal. Employing the Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) methodology established by Fairclough (2013), the research examines how family communication patterns influence self-confidence and identity formation within a collectivist context. A qualitative descriptive methodology was implemented using primary data from chosen dialogues, lyrics, and visual moments in the film, alongside secondary data from academic journals and audience feedback collected via the Loklok platform.  The results indicate that linguistic components such as modality, labeling, and metaphor, serve as instruments of authority and emotional regulation. Abuela's authoritative speech and the family's quiet demonstrate discursive authority that stifles individuality, whereas Mirabel's defiance represents the reestablishment of voice and empowerment. The movie's visual metaphors, especially the falling Casita, show how people hide their feelings and how ideological control breaks away. Audience interpretations further emphasize the relevance of topics such as perfectionism, gender expectations, and generational trauma in authentic collectivist civilizations, including Indonesia. In conclusion, Encanto shows that healing and forming an identity both need open communication and empathy. It also shows how language and culture impact both individual and group change.

Abstract

Writing business letters is an essential skill for students in English for Specific Purposes (ESP) contexts, as it prepares them to engage in professional communication effectively. However, many students encounter difficulties in producing business letters that are structurally accurate, contextually appropriate, and linguistically formal. This study aims to improve students’ business letter writing through the implementation of a Genre-Based Approach (GBA). The research employed a classroom action research design conducted in two cycles, involving third-semester students of the accounting department of Institut Bisnis dan Komputer Indonesia. Data were collected through pre-tests, post-tests, observations, and students’ written works, which were assessed using a rubric covering content, organization, language use, and format. The findings revealed that students showed significant improvement in their ability to construct business letters, particularly in terms of understanding the communicative purpose, using appropriate formal expressions, and applying correct letter structure. The results indicate that the stages of GBA building knowledge of the field, modeling, joint construction, and independent construction were effective because they explicitly introduced students to the social purposes and generic structure of business letters, enabling them to internalize both the functional and linguistic features of the genre. This explicit scaffolding not only facilitated students’ understanding of how language operates within professional contexts but also enhanced their confidence and autonomy in producing formal written communication. In conclusion, the Genre-Based Approach proves to be an effective and pedagogically grounded strategy for improving students’ business letter writing skills in ESP classrooms.

Abstract

Language shapes social meanings and contributes to the construction of gendered power relations. This study examines how Melanie Martinez’s “Strawberry Shortcake” constructs, negotiates, and challenges patriarchal ideology through a Critical Discourse Analysis framework. Addressing a gap in existing research, which rarely explores how a single pop song intertwines critiques of body shaming and the blaming of female victims, the study analyzes the lyrics using Fairclough’s three-dimensional model. The analysis demonstrates how the culinary metaphors of “icing on top” and “strawberry shortcake” function simultaneously as markers of objectification and as ironic vehicles for feminist resistance. Patterned repetition such as “It’s my fault” is shown to strategically deconstruct the logic of victim-blaming, while interdiscursive references to purity norms reveal the contradictory expectations imposed on girls and women. Beyond identifying these linguistic patterns, the findings illustrate how the song repositions the female voice from an objectified figure toward an assertive agent who critiques socialized entitlement and misplaced responsibility. This study contributes to CDA scholarship by showing how popular music can serve as a site of ideological transformation and offers an analytical model that supports critical media literacy, particularly in recognizing subtle gendered messages in contemporary cultural texts.

Abstract

This study examines how (im)politeness strategies and institutional power are dynamically negotiated in Indonesian hotel telephone conversations an interactional domain that remains underexplored in pragmatic and hospitality communication research. Drawing on Brown and Levinson’s politeness theory and Culpeper’s impoliteness framework, the analysis investigates not only the types of strategies used but also how front-desk operators reaffirm institutional authority, manage guest dissatisfaction, and perform pragmatic repairs when interactions risk escalating. Data were collected from naturally occurring telephone conversations in several hotels in Surakarta, Indonesia, and analyzed using a qualitative pragmatic approach. The findings show that (im)politeness is an ongoing negotiation shaped by hierarchical service roles, shifting communicative goals, and institutional expectations. Operators predominantly employ positive and negative politeness to maintain professionalism, yet they occasionally shift to off-record strategies, withholding, or mitigated impoliteness to indirectly enforce hotel regulations or handle guest resistance. These moves are typically followed by face-restoring acts to re-establish interactional harmony and protect both individual and institutional face. The study demonstrates that (im)politeness in hotel discourse functions simultaneously as relational management and institutional power performance. Pedagogically, the findings offer insights for developing ESP materials that enhance pragmatic competence in hospitality service communication.

Abstract

Online media play a significant role in shaping public perceptions of educational issues, including cases of cheating in the UTBK national entrance examination. Although previous studies have widely applied Fairclough’s Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA), many still emphasize linguistic features without fully integrating the dimensions of discursive practice and social practice. This study aims to examine how CNN Indonesia constructs the issue of UTBK cheating in the news article titled Kecurangan UTBK Makin Canggih, Peserta Pasang Kamera di Kacamata by employing Fairclough’s three dimensional framework. Using a qualitative approach, the analysis focuses on textual features, the processes of discourse production and distribution, and the broader sociocultural context. The findings indicate that the report highlights the number of offenders, the sophistication of cheating technologies, and indications of insider involvement to portray the issue as serious and systemic. The discursive practice dimension reveals the dominance of a single authoritative source and a narrative structure that progresses from factual reporting to moral reinforcement. At the social practice level, the news connects cheating with broader societal values such as trust and integrity in the education system. Overall, the study demonstrates that media discourse not only conveys information but also shapes public understanding by framing educational issues as moral and institutional concerns.

Abstract

Ilalat is sometimes used and integrated in a series of traditional ceremonies. Ilalat or proverbs of the Ranah community have begun to fade in use in the digital era in communicating and interacting within their community. The purpose of this study is to examine the character education values proposed by Lickona contained in the ilalat of the Ranah community. In addition, this study aims to describe the use of Ilalat in society in the current digital era. The method used in this study is a descriptive qualitative method with a phenomenological strategy. Data collection was carried out through interviews with informants, observation and document study. Data analysis was carried out using interactive analysis. The character education values contained in the ilalat of the Ranah community are the values of self-control, respect, compassion, justice, responsibility, cooperation, courage, honesty, tolerance, mutual assistance, democracy, discipline, and humility. The most dominant character education value is prudence or self-control. The use of proverbs and sayings in the Ranah community in the digital era is still present in traditional ceremonies. This is because the Ranah community places great emphasis on polite language and manner of delivery. The use of proverbs in everyday communication and interactions has decreased and faded, as few people in the Ranah community can use proverbs.

Abstract

This study aimed to describe the productivity and functions of illocutionary speech acts in the mini album Kalih Welasku (2023) by Denny Caknan. Using a qualitative approach with descriptive analysis, the study sought to show how utterances in song lyrics built the speaker’s communicative intentions. The data were analyzed based on Searle’s theory of illocutionary speech acts, which classified illocution into five categories: assertive, directive, commissive, expressive, and declarative. This framework was applied to identify the types of utterances that appeared and to interpret the pragmatic functions underlying each line of the lyrics. The findings showed that four types of illocutionary speech acts appeared in the four songs included in the mini-album, namely assertive, directive, commissive, and expressive acts. Among all findings, assertive speech acts were the most dominant, indicating that the lyrics were largely used to state beliefs, describe conditions, or directly express the speaker’s thoughts. Directive, commissive, and expressive acts also appeared, but with lower frequency. Meanwhile, declarative speech acts were not found in the data, suggesting that the song lyrics did not contain utterances that changed social status or reality. These findings illustrated patterns of speech act usage in contemporary Javanese popular music.

Abstract

The primary focus of this research is to examine how persuasive language is employed not merely to convey information, but as a strategic instrument for building image and social influence within an academic platform. This study adopts a descriptive qualitative approach using rhetorical analysis based on Aristotle’s rhetorical triad of ethos, pathos, and logos. The data consist of persuasive utterances collected through close listening and verbatim transcription of an official video recording. The analysis focuses on the use of diction, metaphor, and argumentative structure that contribute to shaping audience perception. The findings reveal that the three rhetorical dimensions are orchestrated systematically, beginning with the construction of intellectual ethos and speaker authority in the early stages of the discourse, followed by the management of pathos in a moderate and reflective manner to foster emotional engagement with the audience, and reinforced by logos through logical reasoning and academically nuanced argumentation. These findings underscore that persuasive effectiveness in public academic communication largely depends on the dynamic integration and function of the three rhetorical elements. This study contributes to the development of discourse analysis and rhetorical studies within the context of educational communication in Indonesia.
