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 qualitative study aims to explore the mismatched perceptions of mentors and pre-service teachers in implementing warm-ups during a field teaching program. The study involved four mentor teachers and six pre-service teachers as participants. Through thematic analysis of reflections and in-depth interviews, the study revealed that there are several mismatched perceptions among mentors and pre-service teachers when implementing warm-ups, including time allocation and the benefits of these activities. Mentor teachers consistently advocated for a concise 5-minute warm-up during the opening stage. In contrast, pre-service teachers preferred 10-15 minutes for these activities. This study also identified mentors and pre-service teachers who acknowledged the benefit of these activities. Mentor teachers stated that these benefits include preparing students, stimulating students' thinking, and generating student enthusiasm. Pre-service teachers stated these benefits, including activating prior knowledge, increasing engagement and motivation, facilitating review and reinforcement, fostering communication, and creating a fun and relaxed atmosphere. The findings highlight the importance of balancing the benefits of warm-ups with efficient time management as an optimal approach for opening lessons.

Abstract

In the context of teacher training, the integration of gender dynamics within the educational setting has received increasing attention, particularly in environments where gender roles are distinctly emphasized. However, there remains a significant gap in the literature concerning the specific challenges and strategies of female EFL pre-service teachers in male-dominated vocational schools, which this study seeks to explore. This qualitative study aims to uncover the experiences of female EFL pre-service teachers during their field teaching practice in a male-dominated vocational school. The data were gathered from the reflections of nine female pre-service teachers. The findings revealed a variety of experiences encountered by the participants. They shared their initial reactions and feelings upon being assigned to teach at the school, the challenges they faced during the teaching practice, the difficulties encountered when interacting with male students, and the strategies they developed to overcome these interaction challenges.Keywords: Female EFL pre-service; field teaching practice; vocational school
