Abstract

Infidelity cases are one of the everlasting problems for human life. It is becoming thought provoking news for reader when it occurs around celebrities’ life. This study aims to investigate the infidelity case published on CNN Indonesia media in 2023, particularly of the victim's personal position and readers' responses to news texts. The data collection technique used were by reading and recording data. Data collected was analyzed using Sara Mills' perspective analysis model of critical discourse analysis to investigate subject-object position and writer-reader position. The reader's position was examined in three stages: (1) the reader's position as a reader of a news text, (2) the reader's position as seeing himself/herself in a news text, and (3) the reader identifies within the group on the news text. Based on the subject-object position in the news, it was discovered that these news texts of the affair cases positioned the female victim as both subject and object, while another news text positioned the husband as the subject and the wife as the object. Accordingly, based on the subject-object position depicted on the news, the reader engagement of interesting news material increases news media ratings. The results of this study revealed that celebrity news regarding affair and infidelity cases are not only reported by journalists but disclosed privately through an Instagram account. This research shows that infidelity news in the mass media is caused and influenced by readers and perpetrators of actions themselves

Abstract

This study delves into phonological processes and changes in two distinct categories of loanwords in Japanese: gairaigo (foreign loanwords) and wasei eigo (Japanese-coined English words). Gairaigo are borrowings from foreign languages, predominantly English, while wasei eigo refers to words created within the Japanese language using English morphemes. The phonological adaptation of these loanwords undergoes various processes, e.g., assimilation, syllable structure, attenuation and strengthening, and neutralization. These processes are reflecting the dynamic nature of language contact and cultural exchange. In the case of gairaigo, phonological processes often involve the adaptation of sounds to conform to Japanese phonotactics and speech patterns. This may include the simplification or substitution of consonant clusters, vowel lengthening or shortening, and the incorporation of pitch accent patterns native to Japanese. Wasei eigo, on the other hand, undergoes phonological changes rooted in the native Japanese phonological system. Despite being constructed with English morphemes, wasei eigo words often exhibit phonetic features characteristic of Japanese. Moreover, these words may evolve over time through processes of sound change and assimilation, reflecting shifts in linguistic preferences and cultural influences. Overall, the phonological adaptation of gairaigo and wasei eigo showcases the linguistic borrowing, cultural assimilation, and the phonological systems of both source and target languages. Understanding these processes provides insights into the dynamic nature of language contact and the evolution of linguistic diversity in Japanese society.

Abstract

Thanks to the eye-opening innovation of the digital technology a lot of disadvantages of the e-books will be overcome in the near future, and then what role the printed books will play is a great concern for those who work in the fileds of publication, library etc. This paper has focused on the printed books and analyzed the Generation Z students’ attitudes towards them. 174 students with different majors have been interviewed using the questionnaires made by experts and the collected data has been analyzed. For the purpose of sufficient feedback from the students the second question was made open.  Students still primarily perceive “books” as printed ones and have a positive attitude to the usefulness of them in the future, though they are “digital natives”. First of all, the traditional definition and image of books, social customs regarding their usefulness play a crucial role in making people have a positive attitude towards printed books even in the era of digital technology. Also the usefulness of printed books has been diversified as they are now used in a variety of forms, such as evidence or luxury things. The future study should focus on those with different social backgrounds, thus clarifying the relationship between the cultural attitudes and the printed books in detail.

Abstract

In recent years, the intersection of neurobehavioral science and human literacy has garnered significant attention, particularly concerning its potential to enhance character development through creative communication. This study aims to investigate how neurobehavioral strategies can be employed to enhance literacy and character development. This research uses a qualitative and quantitative mix method with a neurobehavior approach. In producing products, this research also uses Research and Development (R&D). The research instrument uses a Google form. This research involved 100 students of English Literature Study Program at UNIMED who took the Creative and Innovative Communication course. Firs finding, students predominantly answered ‘agree’ that environmental, socio-economic, media and technology, academic, and leadership factors influence student character development. Second finding, students were able to answer correctly regarding neurobehavior literacy towards character development so that students' character significantly improved and was reflected in their creative communication. Environmental, socio-economic, media and technology, academic, and leadership factors have a big impact on character development. Therefore, based on the neurobehavior approach, we need to have a variety of literacy that supports positive character and experiences. This research will continue regarding how our brains have an impact on increasing creative communication and developing Emotional intelligence with other innovative approaches.

Abstract

This study investigates the effectiveness of using English as the sole medium of instruction in teaching English to non-native speakers. The main goal is to evaluate how this method improves language proficiency, particularly in terms of fluency, comprehension, and confidence. The study adopts a qualitative approach, utilizing observations and interviews with both teachers and students from secondary schools that implement English-only instruction. Data were collected over a six-month period, followed by thematic analysis to uncover the key advantages and challenges of this teaching approach. Findings reveal that students exposed to exclusive English instruction demonstrate better fluency and listening comprehension compared to their peers in bilingual learning environments. Moreover, increased interaction between teachers and students in English was observed, creating a more immersive and engaging learning experience. Despite these benefits, the study also identified challenges, such as initial student discomfort and difficulties in grasping complex instructions. In conclusion, while teaching English exclusively in English is an effective strategy for enhancing language acquisition, it requires thoughtful support to accommodate varying levels of student proficiency. Future studies could explore the lasting effects of this method on students' academic performance.

Abstract

Many vocational schools have been bringing their educational practice closer to industry along with the concept of Teaching Factory (TEFA) to adjust the students’ skills as close as the industry demands. The implementation of TEFA based curriculum in one of vocational higher education in Surabaya for all subjects including English subject has been performed since 2019. In English classes, the Teaching Factory-Based Strategy covers two methods: product-based learning and flipped classroom. This research aims to explore the implementation of TEFA-based strategy and the two methods by revealing students' perceptions and responses on the strategy. This research is descriptive qualitative research in which data were obtained through questionnaires and interviews. The students observed were from 4 different study programs in this PPNS. The results of this study show positive perceptions of students toward TEFA – based strategy implemented in the classroom even though there are some obstacles faced by both students and lecturers. Hopefully this research can contribute practically to English teachers who are adopting TEFA in English language teaching.

Abstract

Integrating digital tools into language education has transformed traditional teaching methods, offering greater flexibility, increased engagement, and personalized learning opportunities. This study explored how effective Duolingo can be as a supplementary tool in a large speaking class of 60 first-year undergraduate Informatics Engineering students at a university. With the challenges of managing a large group and varying levels of language proficiency, the study used a descriptive qualitative approach over half of the semester to assess Duolingo's impact on student engagement, motivation, and English proficiency. Data were gathered through Duolingo’s tracking system, weekly self-reflection reports, in-class observations, and informal interviews. The analysis revealed that Duolingo significantly boosts student motivation and provides valuable practice opportunities outside the classroom, especially in vocabulary and grammar. The quantitative data showed consistent student engagement, with many students regularly earning experience points (XP) and meeting their weekly learning targets. However, the study also highlighted some challenges, such as Duolingo’s limited focus on developing conversational skills and the difficulty of addressing the varied proficiency levels within such a large class. While students enjoyed the gamified aspects of Duolingo, they expressed a need for more interactive speaking exercises to help build fluency. Overall, the findings suggest that Duolingo is a useful supplement to traditional language instruction, enhancing engagement and offering personalized practice.

Abstract

This study investigates the pragmatic dimensions of linguistic manipulative statements found in Facebook political group pages, with a particular focus on the Hoatiti group. Social media platforms like Facebook have become powerful tools for political discourse, where language can be intentionally used to manipulate users' perceptions, beliefs, and actions. It examines how specific linguistic features are employed to sway opinions and promote particular ideologies within the group. Through qualitative analysis of posts and discussions on the Hoatiti group page it uses a purposive sample of n=5 statements, to identify patterns of language manipulation, misinformation, and loaded questions. The study also explores the socio-pragmatic context of these manipulative statements, examining how the interaction between the writer, the reader, and the political environment shapes the effectiveness of such discourse. This is a case study analysing how language is used strategically to manipulate Facebook users. Findings revealed that manipulation in political language, while not always overt, can occur through the use of specific pragmatic techniques including speech acts, among others. Through the lens of pragmatics, this research uncovered how these techniques were employed on Facebook and how they contributed to creating a persuasive and often manipulative environment. Findings revealed that subtle, yet powerful role of language influenced political thought on Facebook and provides insight into the broader implications of digital political communication. It is therefore, recommended that insights from such studies could inform the development of counter-narratives  through public awareness campaigns to protect individuals from being emotionally manipulated.
