Abstract

Mata Najwa is a talk show program broadcasted by Metro TV in an interview format. In every interview, the interviewer's communication skills play an important role in determining the success of the program. Effective communication techniques on television aim to dig up information and provide entertainment, so that good communication skills are needed so that the interview runs smoothly and is interesting for the audience. The topics raised in the Mata Najwa program provide inspiration and insight to the audience. This program is considered to have higher quality than other talk shows, with various themes covering social, economic, and inspirational aspects. This study focuses on the episode "Habibie & Suara Putra Negeri" from Mata Najwa. This episode was chosen because it has inspirational value and provides social insight, although it is not directly related to formal education. The problem studied in this study is how the verbal and nonverbal communication techniques used by Najwa Shihab in the episode. The purpose of the study was to understand the communication approach applied by Najwa Shihab during the interview in the episode "Habibie & Suara Putra Negeri." This research approach uses a qualitative descriptive method. Based on the results of the study, it was found that Najwa Shihab uses a lot of persuasive communication techniques as the main strategy. In addition, other techniques such as instructive, informative, and humanistic are also used in the interview. Persuasive communication techniques can be seen from Najwa's use of verbal language that encourages and convinces the interviewee to provide answers according to the direction of the conversation. Najwa also succeeded in creating a comfortable atmosphere so that the interviewee tends to be open and answer every question asked. The nonverbal language used by Najwa Shihab in this episode includes supporting the chin, leaning the body, and repeated hand movements. Meanwhile, nonverbal language that appears less frequently includes nodding the head, smiling, shaking hands, frowning, body movements, eyebrow movements, eye movements, and maintaining a professional appearance. From this study, it can be concluded that Najwa Shihab predominantly uses persuasive communication techniques in the episode "Habibie & Suara Putra Negeri." Verbal language that persuades and encourages the interviewee to respond according to the interviewer's expectations is Najwa Shihab's characteristic. Nonverbal language such as supporting the chin, leaning the body, and hand movements are often used to strengthen effective communication and attract the audience's attention.

Abstract

Mini Research ini bertujuan untuk mempelajari representasi kelas sosial dan moralitas dalam sastra Victoria dengan penekanan khusus pada novel Oliver Twist karya Charles Dickens. Dalam sastra Victoria, hubungan antara kelas sosial dan moralitas seringkali sarat dengan kompleksitas, oleh karena itu, penelitian mini ini juga akan mengeksplorasi hubungan tersebut. Penelitian ini akan mengeksplorasi bagaimana novel-novel Victoria menampilkan pemeliharaan norma moral ke luar yang menyembunyikan kondisi sosial dan ekonomi yang sebenarnya. Melalui pembacaan dan analisis mendalam terhadap teks-teks penting dari periode tersebut, esai ini akan menggambarkan bagaimana keputusan moral para karakter dipengaruhi oleh posisi sosial mereka dan bagaimana gagasan budaya tentang apa yang dianggap sebagai moralitas terus-menerus dimanipulasi untuk mempertahankan pembagian kelas dan memperkuat struktur ketidaksetaraan yang menekan. Terjadi banyak industrialisasi dan urbanisasi selama era Victoria (1837-1901), dan hal ini tercermin dalam tema dan karakter sastra pada periode ini, serta struktur sosial yang sangat ketat. Hal ini, pada gilirannya, memungkinkan Dickens untuk menggunakan tulisannya sebagai kendaraan untuk komentar sosial, dan pada akhirnya menggunakan tulisannya untuk menyerukan empati terhadap kaum miskin. Dengan menganalisis Oliver Twist, penelitian ini mengungkapkan bagaimana para penulis Victoria menggunakan karya mereka untuk meningkatkan kesadaran akan isu-isu sosial, seringkali menanamkan pelajaran moral untuk mendorong reformasi.

Abstract

This study examines the illocutionary acts in Dedi Mulyadi’s speech delivered during the National Awakening Ceremony, utilizing Searle’s (1976) taxonomy within a descriptive qualitative framework. A total of 72 utterances were identified and categorized: 40 assertive (55.5%), 15 directive (20.8%), 10 commissive (13.9%), 5 expressive (6.9%), and 2 declarative (2.8%) acts. Assertives dominate, reflecting Dedi’s sarcastic and informational style, while the rarity of declaratives underscores his emphasis on persuasion rather than formal proclamation. The analysis reveals how Dedi strategically employs sarcasm and militaristic directives to assert authority, critique societal issues, and influence public perception. These rhetorical choices strengthen his image as a decisive leader but may limit dialogic engagement. The study highlights the communicative function of illocutionary acts in political discourse and contributes to a deeper understanding of how language performs social and political actions in contemporary Indonesian rhetoric.

Abstract

This study investigates vocational students' perceptions of using social media as a tool for learning English. With the increasing prevalence of social media platforms in students' daily lives, their potential in supporting language acquisition has become a relevant subject of inquiry. This research employs a descriptive qualitative approach, using a structured questionnaire with a 4-point Likert scale to gather data from 114 vocational high school students. The results show that students view social media positively in terms of its contribution to improving their English learning. Respondents reported that social media platforms make learning more enjoyable, reduce anxiety, boost confidence, and foster independent learning. Students also perceived improvements in core language skills—listening, speaking, reading, and writing—as well as vocabulary, pronunciation, and grammar. However, the study also identified challenges, including exposure to inappropriate content, privacy concerns, and limited internet access. These findings emphasize the need for digital literacy and proper guidance to fully leverage the educational advantages of social media. The study concludes that, with suitable teaching approaches and awareness of possible drawbacks, social media serves as an effective supplementary resource for vocational students learning English.
