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.
