Abstract

This research aims to uncover how polyglots learn foreign languages, identifying both supporting and hindering factors in this learning process. The research method employed is a qualitative approach. The findings reveal that the model polyglots use to learn foreign languages involves studying one book in several languages. This method is the most effective and easiest way to enhance reading skills in various languages. Additionally, polyglots use several other strategies: they are unafraid to try, do not always rely on formal education, are persistent, seek productive habits, listen a lot, believe it is never too late to learn, seek communities or partners, find interconnections between languages, and adapt to their environment. Supporting factors for polyglots in learning foreign languages include having the talent for language acquisition, being motivated, and having the opportunity to learn. In contrast, hindering factors include an unsupportive environment, restrictive grammar, laziness, limited vocabulary, lack of focus, lack of commitment, and absence of clear goals in language learning.

Abstract

Research about Intercultural Communicative competence with its relation to English language has been discussed among scholars. However, the discussion about how to integrate it into teaching and learning English in the classroom remains lacking exploration. This research investigated the lecturers’ ways of integrating ICC components in teaching and learning English. This research involved four lecturers of the English Education Department IAIN Sultan Amai Gorontalo which was taken purposively. The participants were the lecturers who taught receptive and productive skills.   It employed a descriptive qualitative method.  Data were collected through interviews and observation sheets and analyzed using thematic analysis. It found three lecturers’ ways of integrating ICC in teaching English, first, the teachers guided students to have intercultural knowledge, intercultural attitude, and intercultural skills in teaching the English language. Second, the teachers contrasted between English language culture and Indonesian culture. Third, the teachers asked the students to practice the activities which addressed to intercultural knowledge, intercultural attitude, and intercultural skills. This research implied that ICC is competence should be mastered by the English learners in the digital era.

Abstract

This study investigates the impact of integrating innovative gestures into language instruction at Universitas Muhammadiyah Gresik (UMG) and Universitas Muhammadiyah Gorontalo (UMGO). The primary objective was to assess how various types of gestures, including interactive digital boards, emotional expression, dynamic movement sequences, gamified approaches, and multimodal feedback gestures, influence student engagement, comprehension, and retention. Through observational data and semi-structured interviews with language lecturers, the study provides comprehensive insights into the efficacy of gesture-based teaching methods. The results reveal that the use of gestures significantly enhances the visibility and impact of corrective feedback, making linguistic errors more noticeable and facilitating better understanding and retention compared to traditional verbal feedback methods. Observational data indicate that students are more actively involved in discussions and activities when gestures are used, leading to a more dynamic and interactive classroom environment. This increased engagement highlights the potential of gestures to improve comprehension and cognitive processing in language learning. Semi-structured interviews with lecturers further emphasize the perceived benefits of gestures, such as enhanced engagement, improved comprehension, and better retention of language skills. However, challenges including technological limitations, the need for professional development, and time constraints were also identified. To address these challenges, educators recommended strategies like gradual implementation of gestures, soliciting student feedback, and combining gestures with other multimedia resources. In conclusion, this study demonstrates that integrating gestures into language instruction can significantly enhance learning outcomes by making lessons more engaging and effective. Future research should focus on long-term impacts and the development of training programs to support educators in adopting gesture-based teaching methods.

Abstract

Background: The mass media play a crucial role in constructing social reality through language selection and issue framing. One significant issue concerns the representation of jihad and shahid, which are framed differently by CNN Indonesia and Republika.co.id. Aims: This study aims to examine how CNN Indonesia and Republika.co.id construct the meanings of jihad and shahid across various news topics and to investigate the discursive strategies they employ in linking these concepts within their news coverage. Methods: This study adopted a mixed-methods approach, combining qualitative and quantitative analyses. Fairclough's critical discourse analysis was applied to explore the discursive strategies used by the mass media to construct and reinforce ideology, stereotypes, prejudice, and discrimination in the representation of jihad and shahid. The research employed the AntConc corpus tool for keyword analysis, collocation, and concordance. The dataset consisted of news articles containing the terms jihad and shahid, published over the past eight years on CNN Indonesia and Republika.co.id. Results: The findings reveal that CNN Indonesia and Republika.co.id play a significant role in shaping public discourse and perceptions of jihad and shahid in Indonesia. The media frequently associate these terms with Islam, radicalism, and terrorism, often leading to generalized and oversimplified interpretations. CNN Indonesia tends to reinforce negative stereotypes and prejudices against Islam, whereas Republika.co.id presents a more positive interpretation. Implications: This study underscores the critical role of media in shaping social and cultural understandings of religious concepts. The findings highlight the need for more nuanced and balanced media representations to prevent the perpetuation of stereotypes and to promote a more inclusive and informed public discourse on sensitive issues such as jihad and shahid.

Abstract

Background: Figurative language deals with non-literal language to shift meaning by comparing other words to the original composition. This appears in many works of literature, including the holy Qur’an. Therefore, it is essential to study, not intending to reduce or increase the meaning of the Qur’an. Aims: This study aims to identify the types of figurative language in the surahs As-Saffat and Ar-Rahman and examine the most dominant figurative language in both surahs. Methods: This qualitative study analyzed the linguistic phenomena in the verses. The objects were As-Saffat, which consists of 182 verses, and surah Ar-Rahman, which consists of 78 verses. The data were presented descriptively. Results: The findings revealed that 81 verses in both Surah As-Saffat and Ar-Rahman contain figurative language. Surah As-Saffat contained 32 data points of figurative language, while Ar-Rahman had 49 data points. The most dominant type of figurative language in Surah As-Saffat is ellipsis, and in Surah Ar-Rahman, it is rhetoric. Implications: The analysis results reflect that academics can be a form of integration between religious and general science, such as literature. Therefore, a more in-depth al-Qur’an can be easily perceived. Although related to general science, it does not leave the rules in interpreting the Qur’an. This can enrich the reference for Teaching English as a Foreign Language.

Abstract

Background: The term "diagnosis" is used in this study to reflect the careful and systematic approach needed to investigate the phonological features of Gorontalo Language (GL). This research study investigates the consonant clusters of the GL covering the phonetic, phonological, and phonotactic approaches focusing on the sounds of /mb/, /nt/, and /ngg/. Aims: The research aims to clarify whether these sounds are single consonant or consonant clusters, contributing to both linguistic theory and the revitalization efforts for the GL in the Tomini Bay region. Methods: The qualitative methodology utilized in this research is an analytical method associated with simultaneous data collection and analysis. The study assesses the phonological characteristics of GL with an emphasis on consonant clusters using a thorough literature analysis and real-world sources, including social media and interviews. A comprehensive description of GL's sound system can be obtained by applying phonetical, phonological, and phonotactical analyses of sound, phoneme, and syllable structures. Results: Based on Gorontalo's phonetics, phonology, and phonotactics rules, the sounds /mb/, /nt/, and /ngg/ function as consonant clusters rather than a single consonant. Each sound in /mb/, /nt/, and /ngg/ is created uniquely, according to phonetic, phonological, and phonotactical analysis verifies that they function as independent phonemes that alter the meaning of words. Additionally, their classification as consonant clusters rather than a single consonant is supported by Gorontalo's phonotactic rules, which forbid consonants at syllable endings. Implications: These clusters can find utility within educational resources, thereby reinforcing linguistic sustainability. This work contributes not only to linguistic knowledge regarding Gorontalo phonetical, phonological, and phonotactic but also has applications to inform the design of revitalization programs for endangered languages.

Abstract

Background: A well-grounded and accurate assumption helps in selecting appropriate lexical variations before expressing a statement in communication. Movies serve as an effective medium for this purpose, as they reflect real-life situations. In pragmatics, presuppositions allow listeners to recognize implied meanings and better understand communicative intentions. Aims: This study examines the use of presuppositions in the Zootopia movie script by applying George Yule’s (1996) theory of presupposition. It aims to identify the types of presuppositions expressed in the dialogue, analyze the educational character values demonstrated by the main character, and interpret the meanings conveyed through presuppositions in the movie script. Methods: The study employed a qualitative content analysis design. The data were collected from the dialogues of the main character in the Zootopia movie script. Results: A total of 106 presuppositional instances were identified. Existential and factual presuppositions were the most frequently occurring types. Additionally, five educational character values were found: (1) peacemaker, (2) curiosity, (3) discipline, (4) responsibility, and (5) hard work. Implication: The interpretation of presuppositions allows audiences to gain deeper insights into the underlying meanings of the dialogue. Through movie scripts, viewers can not only engage with the storyline and character development but also grasp the film’s core messages and objectives. Future research should extend beyond presuppositions to explore a broader range of linguistic phenomena.
