Abstract

Many people used Instagram massively as a convenient way to express their feelings and emotions through the comment sections. This phenomenon led to a variety of linguistic expressions of emotions, making it an interesting subject to study. After Harry Maguire scored an own goal while defending England against Scotland, he became a controversial figure. As a consequence, netizens were critical of him on his personal Instagram account. Using Martin and White's (2005) appraisal theory and Izard's (2009) emotion types, this study aimed to reveal how netizens' appraisal systems were expressed and how emotions were reflected in these appraisal types towards Harry Maguire. This research used a descriptive qualitative method with a discourse analysis approach. The data of this study consisted of some comments from actual accounts with high levels of insight and emotions that were relevant to the theory of appraisal and emotions. As a result, of the 35 comments, there are 42 appraisal types used by netizens. The details are that all appraisal types (attitude, engagement, and graduation) are used, except for the focus on graduation. Engagement was most dominantly used with a total of 12 monogloss subsystems. This represents netizens on the supportive side of Harry Maguire. In this case, netizens express emotions in language through the appraisal system, typically utilizing positive basic emotions. Netizens tend to express positive emotions and their appraisals based on the worth of a significant object that is important and able to represent the country, notwithstanding the controversy surrounding this situation.

Abstract

Academic writing has always been a fundamental skill for higher education students, yet it is still perceived to be a difficult skill to acquire. Accordingly, educators are encouraged to find ways to solve this issue. A concept taken from the Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL) theory, namely thematic structure, can be a solution that provides a detailed description of how cohesion and coherence can be structured in a text. Therefore, this descriptive qualitative research is trying to provide a clear description of students’ thematic structure in English academic writing courses. The primary methodology framework to analyze and interpret the collected data adopted the SFL thematic structures model from Halliday and Matthiessen (2014), named textual metafunction, which identified themes into topical, textual, and interpersonal themes. The findings showed that students tended to employ topical themes, specifically unmarked topical themes, to realize the ideas in their clauses. Conjunctive adjuncts as the textual theme were frequently used by the students to build connections between clauses in the text, while conjunction was barely employed. The interpersonal theme was the least common type of theme employed by the students. However, this situation is quite common in academic writing as personal judgment is avoided to create a more objective text. Thus, future research is encouraged to analyze thematic structure in various texts and contexts

Abstract

 This study explores how teacher-student talk influences the development of student-centered learning in virtual English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classroom in Indonesia. Using a qualitative narrative inquiry approach, the research investigates the experiences of two EFL teachers, one from a private school and the other from a public school, each with over two years of online teaching experience. Data were collected through written narratives, guided by open-ended prompts, and analyzed thematically. The findings reveal five interrelated themes: teacher-led dynamics, student contributions, strategies for balanced talk, student engagement, and learning outcomes. Results showed that excessive teacher talk, though often necessary for structure and control, can inhibit student participation and motivation. However, when teachers implemented strategies that encourage student voice, such as contextual topics, digital collaboration tools, and dialogic scaffolding, students became more engaged, accountable, and cognitively invested in the learning process. The study concludes that managing discourse balance is essential for effective virtual classroom management and the realization of student-centered instruction. This research contributes to the understanding of discourse as both a pedagogical and relational tool in online EFL contexts and offers practical strategies for teachers seeking to enhance interaction, agency, and engagement in remote learning environments.

Abstract

Media is said to have a big role in society since it provides the readers with the latest information and simultaneously attains a particular purpose by using specific words to shape an ideology. Therefore, this research attempted to investigate the lemma candidate used in news articles, published by The Jakarta Post in February 2024, using Sketch Engine as the corpus tool to uncover how the media portrays the presidential candidate. Collocation and concordance feature was utilized, and it employed Halliday’s (2004) transitivity analysis to examine how presidential candidates are described and Fairclough’s (1995) Critical Discourse Analysis as the approach to interpreting how the discourse presents such a representation. The result shows that the media portrayed the candidate’s general profile by labelling the candidates and their political agenda, as seen through the nouns and adjectives that modified the lemma candidate and the role of the lemma candidate as an actor in the clause. The candidate is also put as a recipient which exposes the political issue, which was informed by the circumstances, such as political polling and electability surveys. In addition, The Jakarta Post appears to contest presidential candidates by labeling the candidate and reporting the issues.

Abstract

The research investigates the implementation of Dyadic Essay Technique (DET) as an instructional strategy to improve speaking skills among senior high students in Surakarta. While DET is primarily used to improve writing skills, this study explores its adaption for speaking activities through collaborative questions generation and peer discussions. A Classroom Action Research (CAR) design was used involving 30 of the eleventh-grade students in one private senior high school in Surakarta. Data collection method was observation, oral performance assessments, student’s journal, and interviews. The findings reveal that Dyadic Essay Technique fosters better engagement, confidence, and speaking fluency by promoting meaningful dialogue and peer feedback. Moreover, students reported increased motivation and engagement due to the interactive and peer-supported nature of the technique. The researcher suggests that incorporating DET into speaking instruction can effectively support language development in communicative contexts. Further researchers may also consider using DET in improving another English language skill like reading and writing prior to see its broader applicability)

Abstract

This study explores how teacher protection regulations in Indonesia are discursively shaped by ideological structures embedded within legal language. Employing the framework of Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL), particularly the transitivity system, this study analyses selected clauses from three regulatory documents Law No. 14/2005, Government Regulation No. 74/2008, and Ministerial Regulation No. 10/2017 focusing on how participants, processes, and agency are represented. Transitivity patterns were examined to identify grammatical structures, which were then interpreted using van Dijk’s socio-cognitive approach to uncover ideological meanings. The findings reveal a consistent use of material, relational, and verbal processes that portray the state as an active and authoritative agent, while teachers are positioned primarily as passive participants. In addition, the pervasive use of nominalization obscures agency and reframes social actions as depersonalized, technocratic procedures. These linguistic patterns are indicative of a broader neoliberal ideological framework, characterized by symbolic legalism, bureaucratic formalism, and the suppression of individual agency. Rather than enabling empowerment, the discourse of protection constructs a hierarchical relationship in which the state centralizes authority and reduces teacher agency. This study contributes to the critical examination of education policy by highlighting how regulatory discourse reproduces institutional dominance and calls for a more participatory, justice-oriented approach to teacher protection.

Abstract

This study investigates the grammatical accuracy in translating direct speech from This study investigates the grammatical accuracy in translating direct speech from English to Indonesian by comparing the performance of professional translators with that of EFL (English as a Foreign Language) students. The research utilizes 20 carefully selected excerpts from "The Valley of Fear" by Arthur Conan Doyle. Fifteen final-year English education students’ translations were meticulously assessed against an officially published version, allowing for a robust comparative analysis. A qualitative comparative approach was employed, utilizing a rubric grounded in Nababan’s (2012) translation quality model, which evaluates critical aspects such as tense usage, agreement, sentence structure, and punctuation. The findings reveal significant insights into the translation capabilities of EFL students. While students exhibited moderate accuracy in tense and agreement, they encountered considerable challenges with punctuation and sentence structure. For instance, the nuanced use of commas and quotation marks in direct speech, which can dramatically alter the meaning and flow of dialogue, often eluded the students. In contrast, professional translators demonstrated a higher level of grammatical cohesion and a lower frequency of errors. This disparity underscores the complexities involved in translating literary texts, where the subtleties of language play a pivotal role in conveying the author's intent and character voice. Moreover, the study emphasizes the pressing need for grammar-focused and genre-specific training within translation education.

Abstract

English acts as a universal language and has become a vital skill in many fields due to globalization and the quick development of technology. Learning English as a foreign language early on improves learners' access to global knowledge, communication networks, and mobility, which in turn increases their future academic and career chances. The early introduction of English language teaching, also known as Teaching English to Young Learners (TEYL), is one calculated reaction to this worldwide demand. Children in the early phases of formal education are the focus of TEYL, a specialist area of English language instruction. Instruction at this phase frequently utilizes communicative, contextualized, and play-based methodologies. TEYL has become an increasingly important area of study and practice in education. This study employs a bibliometric analysis of TEYL publications for twenty years, it was from 2004 to 2024, using Scopus as the primary data source and VosViewer for analysis. A total of 252 articles were initially identified, which were then screened to 198 high-quality publications. The study reveals three key findings: (1) A gradual increase in TEYL research publications over the past two decades, with a notable surge in 2022, indicating growing interest in the field. (2) Indonesia has emerged as the leading contributor to TEYL research during this period. (3) Co-occurrence analysis of keywords shows a significant expansion in research topics related to Young Learners. These findings highlight the evolving trends and growing attention to TEYL in the global research landscape.
