Abstract

The advent of social media has facilitated convenience in daily living. In addition to exerting a positive influence, it is important to acknowledge that social media also has a detrimental impact. The emergence of negative repercussions is observed, notably through a surge in instances of linguistic crimes that yield detrimental outcomes. Language crimes encompass several forms of linguistic transgressions. This investigation falls within the domain of Forensic Linguistics. The objective of this research was to uncover instances of hate speech inside the comments section directed towards Maudy Ayunda in the G20 Speech Case on the Instagram News Feed. The feminist viewpoint was employed to examine the impact of societal patriarchal norms on the occurrence of hate speech directed towards Maudy Ayunda. This study employed a descriptive analysis methodology, utilizing data sources derived from comments made by netizens. The data was collected by examining the comments section of Instagram, and the author captured screenshots of selected comments for analysis. The results indicate that the dataset contains a total of ten instances of hate speech, which can be further categorized into eight instances of insults, one instance of blasphemy, and one instance of provocation. The study's findings indicate that individuals' opinions exhibit prejudice when it comes to influencing hate speech directed towards a female character.

Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the perception of undergraduate students enrolled in a private university in Bandung, regarding video conference-based English courses. The study utilized a quantitative approach by employing a questionnaire to collect data from a group of 116 undergraduate students in their seventh semester. The questionnaire was designed to identify students' perspectives on video conference-based English courses, focusing on aspects such as course benefits and identified drawbacks. The study found that the participants positively perceived video conference-based English courses. The participants agreed that the courses offered several benefits, including increased flexibility, reduced cost and reduced commuting time. However, participants also highlighted drawbacks related to technical challenges and reduced opportunities for face-to-face interaction. These results underline the adaptability of higher education in response to the video conference-based courses serving as a viable alternative to traditional in-person instruction. This study has implications for both educational policymakers and teachers. By recognizing the perceived benefits and drawbacks, Policymakers may consider the possibilities of developing regulations that encourage the integration of technology and remote learning into the broader curriculum. Furthermore, educators can refine their instructional strategies to align more closely with students' preferences and needs, ultimately enhancing the quality of remote education.

Abstract

The study aims to assess the effectiveness of ChatGPT in improving grade XI students' writing skills at SMAN 1 Puloampel. The method used was a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design involving 60 students divided into a control group and an experimental group. Data were collected through pre-tests and post-tests in the form of essays. The results of the analysis using the Independent T-test showed a significance value (2-tailed) of 0.000, which means that the null hypothesis (H0) can be rejected, supporting the alternative hypothesis (Ha). Moreover, the effect size test yielded a value of 1.18, indicating a "high effect" category according to Cohen's interpretation. It suggests that ChatGPT was an effective medium in improving the writing skills of eleventh-grade students at SMAN 1 Puloampel, particularly in explanation text material.

Abstract

This study aims to identify and interpret various forms of slang and idioms that appear in film dialogue, as well as analyze their function and meaning in narrative and social contexts. The methodology used in this research is qualitative analysis with a descriptive approach. Dialogue in films is analyzed to identify examples of slang and idioms, which are then categorized by type, such as binomials, idiomatic phrases with verbs, and similes. In addition, the context of use of each expression is analyzed to understand how they contribute to the characterization and development of the plot. The research results show that the use of slang and idioms in "The Shawshank Redemption" not only enriches the dialogue and provides authenticity to the characters, but also reflects the social dynamics and hierarchy in the prison environment. Slang is used as a tool of secret communication between prisoners, while idioms help express the characters' emotions and experiences in a more lively and expressive way. In conclusion, this analysis reveals that the slang and idioms in "The Shawshank Redemption" have an important role in shaping the narrative and deepening the audience's understanding of the characters and their social context. This research contributes to the study of language in film media and enriches understanding of informal language use in certain cultural contexts.

Abstract

This research aims at finding students’ learning styles on Basic Reading. Difficulties that arise at learning Basic Reading are often due to differences in learning styles. It has been proposed that the lecturers should assess the learning styles of their students and adapt their classroom activities and assessment to best suit of student’s learning style. The data were collected in form of a survey using questionnaire. The samples were 55 students who enrolled in the first semester of higher education that selected randomly. It was found that in perceptual learning styles the students preferred having a visual style (3.79), followed by auditory (3.48), kinesthetic (3.47), reading/writing style (3.42), and tactile (3.40). Meanwhile, in sociological learning styles, the students preferred to study in a group (3.73) and an individual learning style (3.29). The findings show that the awareness on students’ preference in learning styles can help the lectures to design learning activities and task to them. By considering the students’ learning styles, we can achieve better pedagogical outcomes in Basic Reading classroom later.
