Abstract

Writing skills are an essential component of language learning that enable students to express ideas and communicate effectively through written form. However, in many schools, students still experience difficulties in producing structured and coherent writing, particularly in composing news texts that require accuracy and factual presentation. This study aims to describe how the learning process of writing news texts takes place, the obstacles faced by students in the activity, and the steps taken by teachers to overcome student learning difficulties in grade VII of SMP Negeri 11 Pontianak City in the 2024/2025 academic year. The method used in this study is a descriptive case study with a qualitative approach. Data collection was carried out through observation, direct communication, indirect communication, and document analysis. The research instruments included observation guidelines, interview guidelines, questionnaire guidelines, and supporting documents. To maintain data validity, source triangulation techniques were used, while data analysis was carried out using an interactive model. The results of the study revealed that learning to write news texts in grade VII of SMP Negeri 11 Pontianak City was implemented through three stages: the pre-instructional stage, the instructional stage, and the evaluation and follow-up stage. Obstacles experienced by students came from both internal and external factors. Teachers’ efforts to overcome student learning difficulties were carried out by providing additional assignments, building effective communication with students, and utilizing devices in the learning process.

Abstract

The phenomenon of ijime (bullying) remains a persistent social issue in Japanese society, exerting serious psychological effects on its victims. Among its most subtle yet pernicious forms are verbal ijime, or bullying through language, ridicule, and verbal humiliation intended to degrade an individual’s dignity. This study aims to identify the lexical forms employed in verbal ijime and examine their underlying cultural implications through a qualitative ethnolinguistic approach. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with native Japanese speakers, field observations in the Tokai region (Aichi, Gifu, and Mie), and analysis of documentation and field notes related to cases of verbal ijime. Research participants included victims and former victims of ijime, teachers, counselors, coworkers, and native speakers familiar with linguistic expressions of verbal bullying. Data analysis followed descriptive qualitative procedures, including transcription, reduction, classification of degrading lexicons, and interpretation of cultural meanings based on Duranti’s linguistic anthropology theory and Brown and Levinson’s politeness and speech act theories. Findings reveal that the lexical patterns of verbal ijime reflect Japan’s collective value system emphasizing wa (harmony), meiyo (honor), and social conformity. Derogatory expressions serve not only as emotional outlets but also as mechanisms that reproduce cultural norms reinforcing social hierarchy. Thus, language in verbal ijime functions as both a mirror of cultural ideology and an instrument of social control in Japanese society.
