Abstract

This study examines the pragmatic strategies through which Indonesian political figure Dedi Mulyadi constructs authority in his public communication. The significance of this research lies in highlighting how authority is enacted linguistically in Indonesian politics, where cultural values, humour, and symbolic expressions shape leadership discourse. The purpose of this article is to analyze how Dedi Mulyadi uses speech acts, politeness strategies, conversational implicatures, and code-mixing to project authority while sustaining solidarity with audiences. The analysis applies Speech Act Theory (Austin, 1975; Searle, 1969), Politeness Theory (Brown & Levinson, 1987), and Grice’s (1975) theory of implicature. Methodologically, this research adopts a qualitative design using pragmatic discourse analysis. Data were collected purposively from Dedi Mulyadi’s speeches, interviews, and informal talk shows retrieved from YouTube channels, news portals, and other online platforms in 2025. Transcriptions were coded to identify illocutionary acts, politeness strategies, and implicatures within cultural contexts. Findings reveal that Dedi Mulyadi combines assertiveness with inclusivity, frequently using directives and assertives framed through humour, cultural metaphors, and rural imagery. His code-mixing in Sundanese and Bahasa Indonesia strengthens local identification, while implicatures allow him to convey moral imperatives indirectly. Overall, these pragmatic strategies enable him to project power while simultaneously constructing an approachable, culturally grounded leadership persona.

Abstract

This narrative review aims to identify the challenges of pair-work activities in EFL writing classrooms based on a comprehensive analysis of recent research. The data in this study were drawn from 20 articles published between 2013 and 2023. The results of the data analysis revealed four main challenges in implementing pair work for EFL writing: unequal participation, conflicting ideas and negotiation, differences in task progress and completion, and differences in language proficiency and language-related issues. This inquiry found that unequal participation and language proficiency disparities were the most frequently reported challenges across the studies. This study could specifically increase teachers' awareness of the potential obstacles in collaborative writing especially in pair work activities and help them develop strategies to mitigate these challenges, as it is hoped that addressing these issues will lead to more effective pair work implementation and improved learning outcomes in EFL writing classrooms.

Abstract

This study investigates the correlation between Emotional Intelligence (EI) and English achievement among second-grade senior high school students. Utilizing an ex post facto design, data were collected from 116 students via questionnaire and document study. Emotional intelligence was measured using an adaptation of Goleman’s model. Results indicated that students’ EI levels were predominantly in the “high” and “very high” categories. However, the correlation between EI and English achievement was very low (r = .137, p = .142). Despite the weak overall correlation, the motivation component of EI demonstrated a significant contribution to students’ English performance. The findings suggest that while EI may not strongly predict language achievement, specific EI components, particularly motivation, play a crucial role in supporting language learning.‎ Keywords:‎ emotional intelligence, English achievement, high school students, motivation, language learning

Abstract

This study aims to evaluate students' perceptions of using Kahoot! as a gamified learning tool in the context of English language instruction at IAIN Kendari. Involving 62 students from various academic programs, the research adopts the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) framework, which includes four main constructs: Perceived Ease of Use, Perceived Usefulness, Attitude Toward Use, and Behavioral Intention to Use. A structured questionnaire, adapted from Suh & Han, 2002 and Davis, 1989, was used to quantitatively measure student perceptions. The findings indicate that the majority of respondents provided positive feedback across all measured constructs. Students reported that Kahoot! was easy to use, improved their learning productivity, and created an enjoyable and interactive classroom environment. Furthermore, most students expressed their intention to continue using Kahoot! in future lessons and to recommend it to peers and lecturers. These results reinforce the effectiveness of gamification, particularly through Kahoot!, in enhancing student engagement, motivation, and academic outcomes. The study recommends broader integration of gamified platforms like Kahoot! to foster dynamic and participatory learning environments in higher education.

Abstract

A noun phrase (NP) is a syntactic category that plays an important role in forming a sentence, along with a verb phrase. The form required at least one noun as the head, and may be accompanied by  pre- and post-modifiers. This study aims to examine whether NP structures continue to play a vital role in shaping meaning in emerging forms of communication. This study was carried out in three stages: data collection, data analysis, and presentation of results.  The data were collected through observation, while the basic technique employed was tapping. The data used is the 10 most popular USS Feed Instagram post captions during April.  In the data analysis, the data were classified into NP’s categorisation based on (Quirk, Randolph; Greenbaum, Sidney; Leech, Geoffrey; Svartvik, 1985). The data were then presented both formally and informally. The result shows that out of 10 Instagram captions, a total of 310 NPs were identified, 193 basic NPs, and 117 complex NPs. The basic NPs appear in the form of a noun and its premodifier (s), while a post-modifier or both pre-modifiers and post-modifiers may accompany the complex NPs. The complex NP can sometimes be confusing because it includes too much information within one structure.

Abstract

This study investigates the coping strategies employed by EFL pre-service teachers to reduce teaching anxiety during their practicum at an Islamic institute in Southeast Sulawesi. The research is essential to address the psychological barriers that often compromise classroom engagement and teacher efficacy. It differentiates itself from previous research by focusing specifically on the unique field practice context in Southeast Sulawesi using Lazarus and Folkman’s transactional model. Adopting a qualitative case study design, the study involved five pre-service teachers selected via purposive sampling. Research instruments included a screening questionnaire and semi-structured interviews using pre-determined questions to collect in-depth qualitative data. The results reveal that participants utilized both problem-focused strategies (planful problem solving and seeking social support) and emotion-focused approaches (self-controlling, distancing, and positive reappraisal). Problem-focused methods were found to be more frequent as they directly resolved immediate classroom challenges and preparation needs. These findings conclude that proactive coping, supported by emotional regulation, effectively manages teaching pressure. The study implies the necessity of integrating formal coping-based training into teacher education programs to better prepare future teachers for the psychological demands of the classroom and improve their overall teaching performance.
