Abstract

The increasing extent of globalization has made foreign speakers interested in learning Indonesian. So, in this case the government is trying to meet these demands by opening the BIPA program. However, in BIPA learning there are still many obstacles. One of the problems with BIPA is pronunciation errors and the lack of fluency of foreign speakers in speaking Indonesian. This research aims to find and analyze morphological errors in affixation, reduplication and compound words by BIPA FCS UB students. Qualitative descriptive is used as the research method. The research data consists of morphological errors in affixation, reduplication and compound words of BIPA FCS UB students. Data sources were taken from interviews and test results by three BIPA FCS UB students from Egypt, South Korea and Pakistan. Data was collected using listening and note-taking techniques. After that, data analysis was carried out from the stages of identifying data, analyzing and drawing conclusions.  The results of this research found morphological errors in affixation, reduplication and compound words by BIPA FCS UB students. Affixation errors lie in the morphophonemic processes, namely assimilation, adaptation and dissimilation. In the word reduplication, errors were found in complete and partial reduplication. In compound words, errors were found in idioms and compound words. This morphological problem occurs because of the differences in the typology of the BIPA student's country of origin and Indonesian in terms of affixation, reduplication and compound word formation. Therefore, it is necessary to deepen learning materials with appropriate learning media that are suitable for BIPA students.

Abstract

This study explores social dynamics and language transformation through the phenomenon of diglossia in Ambon language based on the perspective of Charles A. Ferguson. Diglossia in Ambon is the result of complex interactions between Indonesian and Ambon, which are influenced by social changes and shifts in the context of language use. This study focuses on the analysis of four main aspects of diglossia, namely functional, grammatical, lexicon, and phonology, in order to understand how language variations develop in various communication situations. Research data was collected through observation, documentation, and interviews with IAIN Ambon students. The results of the analysis show that the phenomenon of diglossia in Ambon language occurs due to the mixing of Indonesian as a prestige language with Ambon language which is more used in informal interactions. The shift in the situation from the formal to the informal realm contributes to changes in the structure of the language, both in terms of grammar, vocabulary choices, and phonological patterns used by speakers. The findings of this study confirm that social dynamics have a significant role in shaping patterns of language use in society, reflecting how language adapts to evolving social and cultural contexts. This study not only provides new insights in sociolinguistic studies, but also enriches the understanding of the development of regional languages in Indonesia in the context of bilingualism and diglossia.

Abstract

The title of this research is “Critical Discourse Analysis on Political Memes related to the Discourse on Strangling Tax Hikes on Social Media”. This research aims to analyze the text dimensions of political memes regarding tax increases on social media using the Critical Discourse Analysis (AWK) approach of Teun A. Van Dijk's model. This approach includes three main structures, namely macro structure, superstructure, and micro structure. The research used qualitative methods with data collection techniques through online observation and documentation. The data sources consist of five political memes taken from Instagram, Facebook, and X (Twitter), and are supported by official documents and mass media articles. The results show that in the macro structure, the main themes that emerge in the memes include criticism of the tax increase policy that is considered burdensome to the people, the 12% VAT burden, and a comparison with the obligation of zakat in Islamic teachings. The government is portrayed as if it is blackmailing the people through these fiscal policies. In the superstructure, varied schematic patterns were found, where most memes followed the flow of the title, main idea, and supporting ideas, while others did not fully follow the scheme. On the microstructure, the analysis identified the use of various stylistics, such as satire, hyperbole, rhetoric, comparison, and irony. Some memes utilize visual stylistics without explicit lingual elements but still convey sharp criticism of the government. This study concludes that political memes act as a medium of expression of social criticism of tax policy in Indonesia, represent public dissatisfaction, and show the economic inequality felt by the public.

Abstract

Whether in Asia or the West, most people view all Arab countries as a single group “the Arab world.” Few realize that the Arab world spans over two major regions: the Middle East and North Africa. Even fewer are aware of the differences between these two areas or the distinctions among individual countries within them. These differences are not only of a religious or legislative nature, but also linguistic and communicative. Much like people from different provinces in China, Arabs from different countries often face communication issues with fellow Arabs from abroad. However, research on the dialects of various Arab countries is quite limited and mostly centered on the Middle East. This study focuses on three North African countries—two of which belong to the Maghreb.

Abstract

Slick Write has emerged as a potential solution for improving writing teaching via real-time feedback and automated evaluation. Although current studies have investigated Slick Write's efficacy in facilitating writing tasks, there is a paucity of research on its incorporation within a systematic, pedagogically robust writing instruction framework. This study seeks to assess the efficacy of integrating Slick Write into a holistic writing teaching framework and its influence on enhancing students' academic writing abilities. This study utilized a descriptive research methodology and involved 20 junior high school students from grades 7 to 9 at a private institution in Medan, Indonesia. Writing assessments were conducted before and during the adoption of the Slick Write-integrated approach. The written outputs of students were evaluated utilizing the diagnostic elements of Slick Write, which included an analysis of pronouns, adverbs, function words, sentence and paragraph lengths, passive voice metrics, and prepositional phrase indices. The data were evaluated descriptively to identify patterns of improvement and trends in student performance. The results indicate that Slick Write substantially aids students in the writing process by facilitating the generation, organization, and refinement of their ideas with more independence. The students demonstrated enhanced understanding of linguistic mechanics and word choice. This study introduces a unique Slick Write-integrated educational framework that enhances autonomous learning while complementing instructor feedback. These findings drive home the importance of integrating technological tools such as Slick Write into writing pedagogy to improve writing outcomes and foster learner-centered instruction in higher education.
