Abstract

Purpose of the study: This study aims to describe, analyze, and interpret the forms, functions, and politeness strategies of teachers’ imperative speech acts in teacher–student interactions at Senior High School 1 Poso Pesisir Utara using a sociopragmatic approach. Methodology: This study employed a qualitative descriptive method using observation, audio recording, and note-taking techniques. Data were analyzed through Miles and Huberman’s interactive analysis model, involving data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The analysis applied Sudaryanto’s formal and informal presentation methods without any statistical or software-based tools. Main Findings: The study identified 17 forms of polite imperative speech acts, including directive, requestive, persuasive, and advisory types. Teachers applied Leech’s six politeness maxims tact, generosity, approbation, modesty, agreement, and sympathy to balance authority and respect. Two politeness strategies, direct and indirect, were used depending on context, social distance, and communicative goals. Teachers consistently maintained ethical, polite, and culturally sensitive communication. Novelty/Originality of this study: This study provides a detailed sociopragmatic analysis of teachers’ imperative speech acts within an Indonesian multicultural school context. It highlights how local linguistic features and cultural norms influence the realization of politeness in educational communication, offering new insights into the intersection of language, culture, and pedagogy rarely explored in previous research.

Abstract

Purpose of the study: This study aims to analyze the verbal and nonverbal symbols in the Torompio traditional dance of the Pamona ethnic group in Central Sulawesi. It seeks to interpret the cultural meanings embedded in its movements, lyrics, costumes, and music through an ethnosemiotic approach to reveal the moral, social, and spiritual values reflected in the dance. Methodology: This study employed a qualitative descriptive method with an ethnosemiotic approach, integrating ethnography and semiotics. Data were collected through observation, semi-structured interviews, and documentation using audio-visual tools such as cameras and recorders. Supporting data were analyzed using an interactive model of data reduction, display, and conclusion drawing with reference to Miles and Huberman. Main Findings: The study found that verbal symbols in the Torompio dance such as traditional chants and lyrics express love, respect, and harmony, while nonverbal symbols such as gestures, movements, costumes, and colors represent unity, spirituality, and cultural identity. These symbols together form a semiotic system reflecting Pamona philosophical values of balance, modesty, and social harmony in human relationships and cultural life. Novelty/Originality of this study: This study offers a new ethnosemiotic interpretation of the Torompio traditional dance, highlighting its dual role as an artistic performance and a medium of cultural communication.

Abstract

Purpose of the study: The rapid expansion of digital technology has fundamentally reshaped adolescents’ social interactions, raising concerns regarding the formation of social attitudes within educational settings. This study aims to examine the interplay between parenting styles and the intensity of social media use in shaping students’ social attitudes at the junior secondary school level. Methodology: Employing a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews with students and parents, systematic classroom observations, and documentation analysis, and were validated using data triangulation techniques. Main Findings: The findings reveal that authoritative (democratic) parenting, characterized by a balanced combination of behavioral demands and emotional responsiveness, plays a crucial role in fostering positive social attitudes, including self-regulation, empathy, and collaborative skills. Students raised within a democratic family climate demonstrate internalized moral reasoning, enabling them to maintain socially appropriate behavior without reliance on external supervision. In contrast, excessive social media use is associated with social withdrawal, fragmented attention, and diminished quality of face-to-face interactions in school contexts. High levels of digital engagement were found to displace opportunities for direct interpersonal communication, leading to what can be described as social atrophy and alienation. Novelty/Originality of this study: This study contributes to the literature by highlighting the protective function of authoritative parenting in mitigating the negative social effects of intensive digital media use. The results underscore that the family remains a critical socialization arena in the digital era, capable of strengthening adolescents’ social resilience when supported by effective communication and guided autonomy.
