Abstract

This study aimed to find the underlying messages in SEVENTEEN Joshua’s Speech in UNESCO Youth Forum through a textual metafunction analysis on the thematic structure. SEVENTEEN, a global K-Pop boy band, was chosen to deliver a speech as the representation of youth in UNESCO Youth Forum in Paris last 2023. This research used a descriptive-qualitative method, Halliday’s textual metafunction and Leech’s thematic meaning theories. Based on the findings, JOSHUA, the American member of SEVENTEEN, used a lot of unmarked themes in highlighting the group’s effort and dedication in promoting education. Meanwhile, most of the marked themes were used to highlight their long-lasting and consistent contribution to UNESCO. Therefore, this research concluded that JOSHUA made SEVENTEEN as the ‘main character’ in his speech.

Abstract

The 21st century is characterized by rapid technological advancements and globalization, demanding new skills for individuals to thrive in an ever-changing world. This study explores the perspectives of students at the Faculty of Languages and Arts (FBS) at Universitas Negeri Medan regarding their preparedness and familiarity with 21st century skills, which include critical thinking, collaboration, digital literacy, and adaptability. A descriptive qualitative research methodology was employed, using a structured questionnaire to gather students' insights on their readiness to apply these skills. Results indicate that the majority of students understand the importance of these skills and feel confident in their ability to apply them, particularly in critical thinking, problem-solving, and collaborative work. The findings also highlight the students' adeptness in using technology for learning, communication, and research, demonstrating strong digital literacy. However, challenges remain in evaluating the credibility of online information. Overall, the study shows that FBS students are prepared to navigate the demands of the 21st century, utilizing critical thinking, collaboration, and digital literacy to adapt to the evolving technological landscape. This study underscores the importance of integrating 21st century skills into education to ensure students are equipped for future challenges.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the implementation of the TPACK (Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge) framework in teaching reading skills within an English Language Teaching (ELT) context at SMKN 1 Percut Sei Tuan. The research explores how the teacher facilitates the reading learning activity in ELT using technology. A qualitative approach was employed, using classroom observations, teacher interviews, and video recordings to gather data. The findings reveal that the teacher utilized e-books, online dictionaries, and group chats effectively to support learning. These tools provided accessible materials and encouraged collaboration, improving students’ engagement and comprehension. Pedagogical strategies, such as guiding students through analytical exposition texts and employing 5W+1H questioning, helped develop critical reading skills. The teacher connected reading activities to real-world issues, making lessons relevant and engaging. Despite these strengths, the study identified areas for improvement. Limited use of multimedia and the lack of vocationally specific content reduced the alignment of lessons with students’ professional interests. Additionally, low motivation among students and challenges with digital literacy hindered the optimal use of technology. The study concludes that while TPACK supports teaching reading skills, incorporating advanced technologies and vocationally relevant materials is essential for improving engagement and learning outcomes in vocational education.

Abstract

The research aimed to assess English teachers' perceptions of the textbook “Language Improvement for English Teachers” by the British Council, focusing on its role in fostering essential language skills for educators. Using a structured questionnaire with a five-point Likert scale, data were collected from 20 active English teachers. The findings showed that teachers generally valued the textbook's engaging topics, clear instructions, and practical design, though some wanted more task variety to address different learner needs. While the textbook effectively integrated key skills, particularly vocabulary and pronunciation, teachers noted a lack of listening activities. The study also received mixed feedback on cultural relevance, indicating a need for better contextual alignment for Indonesian learners. Overall, the textbook was praised as a valuable classroom resource, especially for lesson planning and supporting teachers' pedagogical goals.

Abstract

This study investigates the use of metaphorical euphemisms in Instagram comments related to Anies Baswedan, a prominent figure in Indonesian politics. The aim is to analyze how netizens use euphemisms to navigate sensitive political discourse in a digital context. Metaphorical euphemisms, defined as expressions that soften or reframe controversial or harsh topics, play a significant role in managing political expression. The research uses a qualitative content analysis approach to examine 15 Instagram comments, categorizing euphemisms into three types: analogy, distortion, and borrowing (Allan & Burridge, 2020). The findings reveal that distortion euphemisms were most common (46.67%), followed by analogy euphemisms (40%) and borrowing euphemisms (13.33%). Distortion euphemisms often reframed negative political situations in a more acceptable or humorous light, while analogy euphemisms employed vivid comparisons to communicate complex ideas in a relatable manner. Borrowing euphemisms utilized terms from other contexts to soften their meaning. The study emphasizes the importance of these linguistic strategies in fostering constructive dialogue while mitigating conflict in politically polarized environments. The findings contribute to understanding how euphemisms function in digital political communication, revealing the creativity of netizens in expressing their views. This research offers insights into the role of language in shaping public opinion and engagement in the digital age.

Abstract

The study explored the correlation between listening intensity and perceived vocabulary acquisition among EFL learners. Over a two-week period, 20-30 college students recorded their daily listening habits and self-assessed their vocabulary growth through weekly surveys. Listening intensity was measured using daily logs, while vocabulary acquisition was evaluated based on students’ self-reports. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and Pearson’s correlation coefficient to determine the relationship between time spent listening and vocabulary gains. The results suggest that higher listening intensity correlates with increased vocabulary acquisition. These findings provide valuable insights for language teachers in developing more effective listening strategies to enhance vocabulary learning.

Abstract

Advertisements play a significant role in shaping how we perceive products and make decisions. This study explores how two Dancow advertisements—Dancow 1+ Imunutri and Dancow Fortigro Coklat—use language and visuals to connect with their audiences. Using Fairclough’s Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) framework, the data, which includes transcribed dialogues and visuals, were taken from the SOOYA CHAN YouTube channel. The findings reveal that while both ads emphasize key nutrients like DHA and iron, they speak to parents in different ways. The Dancow 1+ Imunutri ad focuses on affordability and nutrition for toddlers, reassuring parents of their role in supporting early growth. Meanwhile, the Dancow Fortigro Coklat ad highlights taste and cognitive benefits for school-aged children, connecting with parents’ hopes for their kids’ education and enthusiasm. These findings show how advertisements reflect societal values, especially the central role of mothers in nurturing their children. With only two ads analysed due to time constraints, future studies could look at a broader range of advertisements and explore how audiences respond to them to better understand marketing strategies.

Abstract

Barack Obama's A More Perfect Union speech is examined in this article using both a descriptive quantitative and rhetorical approach. The speech, delivered in 2008 during his presidential campaign, addressed racial tensions and called for togetherness in the midst of political upheaval. The study uses descriptive quantitative analysis to track linguistic patterns like word frequency and sentence structure, as well as rhetorical analysis to investigate Obama's use of ethos, pathos, and logos. According to the findings, Obama's strategic use of inclusive language, emotive appeals, and logical reasons strengthens his unifying message. This dual-method approach shows the speech's effectiveness in addressing polarizing issues while also providing insights into the broader effects of political discourse in promoting societal advancement. In "A More Perfect Union," Barack Obama highlights the value of unity as the cornerstone of national advancement. He uses the phrase "We the people, in order to form a more perfect union," which appears in the U.S. Constitution, as a reminder that aiming for perfection is a continuous process that has been carried out through the ages. Obama makes the case that history demonstrates that unity and teamwork may bring the nation closer to its values, even while he acknowledges that the country may never reach complete perfection. Obama also talks about the profound effects of racial injustice throughout American history. He talks about how injustice's legacy still has an impact on people's lives today and exhorts them to comprehend its causes rather than escalating the gap. "The anger is powerful and real," he says. And simply wishing it away exacerbates the misperception." With this, he challenges Americans to face racial complexity with compassion and understanding. The speech's end is centered on optimism and a call to action. "We can accept a politics that breeds division, and conflict, and cynicism," Obama says, urging the country to reject divisive politics. Alternatively, we can unite throughout this election and declare, "Not this time." A universal moral precept, "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you," is cited by him to emphasize the value of compassion and unity in creating a better future. Obama's credibility (ethos) is established through personal anecdotes in the speech. As the son of a White mother from Kansas and a Black father from Kenya, he identifies as having a mixed-race heritage. His statement, "This nation is more than the sum of its parts," highlights the fact that diversity in America is a strength rather than a problem.
