The findings showed that 70% of students agreed that watching or analyzing YouTube videos before writing helped them generate ideas more easily, while 56.7% found the activities more engaging and 53.3% reported better organization of thoughts. Additionally, 50% of participants felt more confident to start writing, and 63.3% believed that teachers should integrate video analysis into writing classes. These results indicate that YouTube-based pre-writing activities enhance idea generation, coherence, and motivation in writing.

Abstract

This study investigates the use of derivational morphemes in David Goggins' motivational speech, “12 Minutes to Change Your Life,” featured on Huberman's podcast. Derivational morphemes, which create new words and alter grammatical categories, are essential in understanding language development and communication. Despite extensive research on derivational morphemes in various texts, there is limited analysis of their usage in motivational speeches. This study addresses this gap by analyzing Goggins' speech, focusing on identifying and classifying derivational morphemes. Using qualitative methods, the speech was transcribed, and words containing derivational morphemes were analyzed based on the theories of Fromkin, Rodman, and Hyams (2011). The findings reveal 23 instances of derivational morphemes, divided into class-changing and class-maintaining categories. Notable transformations include adjectives to adverbs, verbs to nouns, and adjectives to nouns, with the most frequent being adjectives to adverbs. The study provides insights into the function and impact of derivational morphemes in spoken motivational content, contributing to the broader understanding of morphology in language use.

Abstract

This study explored how a teacher’s writing habit functions as emotional expression within a demanding teaching routine. Specifically, it examined four aspects like writing as emotional release, writing as reflective practice, writing within a demanding teaching routine, and writing as an emotional coping strategy. A qualitative single-case study design was employed. The participant was one female teacher at SD Negeri 060 Pekkabata, Polewali Mandar, Sulawesi Barat, who had a very hectic schedule including full-time teaching, administrative duties, and private tutoring. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews conducted via Zoom and WhatsApp chat, as well as document analysis of the teacher’s syllabus, lesson plans, blog, Instagram posts, journal book, and mobile phone notes. Thematic analysis was used to analyze the data. The findings revealed that writing served as a powerful emotional release, helping the teacher process anxiety and accept difficult situations. Reflective writing occurred primarily during professional training periods and motivated her to improve classroom practice. Despite her demanding routine, the teacher maintained a writing habit by using multiple platforms, writing during natural breaks, and prioritizing short, happiness-focused notes. She considered writing equally effective as talking to others for emotional expression and strongly recommended writing to fellow teachers. The study concludes that a flexible writing habit focused on emotional release and small positive moments can be a sustainable, low-cost coping strategy for teachers facing overwhelming professional demands. These findings have implications for teacher well-being program and teacher education.

Abstract

This study examines the representation of gift-giving as part of American culture in O. Henry’s short story The Gift of the Magi and explores how cultural values are reflected through this practice. Gift-giving in literature is not only viewed as a material exchange but also as a symbolic expression of love, sacrifice, sincerity, and emotional connection. This research aims to identify how gift-giving is represented in the story and how American cultural values are reflected through the characters’ actions. The study uses a qualitative descriptive method and applies Stuart Hall’s theory of representation as the main theoretical framework. Data were collected from dialogues, narrative descriptions, character actions, and symbolic elements related to gift-giving. The findings show that gift-giving is represented as an emotional and symbolic act rather than an economic activity. The story highlights four main representations: love and emotional expression, sacrifice as a cultural meaning, reflections of American cultural values, and the symbolic significance of gifts beyond material usefulness. The study concludes that emotional sincerity is more important than material value. Furthermore, the story reflects American ideals such as generosity, togetherness, selflessness, and devotion, especially within Christmas traditions.

Abstract

This study examines the phenomenon of semantic pejoration of the English word 'friendly' in Indonesian social media discourse. Denotatively, 'friendly' means 'ramah' (approachable/kind) and carries a positive connotation; however, in its actual usage on platforms such as Instagram and TikTok, the word has undergone significant semantic shift and is now frequently associated with flirtatious, unfaithful, or sasimo behavior. This study employs a descriptive qualitative approach, with data consisting of comments and content from social media collected through purposive sampling during the period of 2022–2026. A total of 18 data points were analyzed using the theory of pejorative semantic change. The results indicate that the word 'friendly' has undergone pejoration triggered by interpersonal and romantic relationship contexts, reinforced by the dynamics of Indonesian Gen Z digital communities. The study also notes the emergence of a semantic correction phenomenon toward the end of the research period, wherein some users have begun to restore the word's original positive meaning.

Abstract

The rapid development of Artificial Intelligence (AI), particularly ChatGPT, has significantly influenced English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learning practices. This study aims to examine the role of ChatGPT as an AI-powered learning assistant in enhancing EFL students’ writing skills through a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach. The study employed the PRISMA framework to identify, screen, and analyze relevant articles published between 2023 and 2025. The findings reveal that ChatGPT positively contributes to various aspects of writing development, including idea generation, grammatical accuracy, vocabulary enrichment, writing organization, and paragraph coherence. Furthermore, the use of ChatGPT enhances students’ motivation, self-confidence, and autonomy throughout the writing process. However, several challenges were identified, including overreliance on AI technology, academic integrity concerns, and the risk of inaccurate information caused by AI hallucinations. Therefore, ChatGPT should be utilized as a supportive learning tool rather than a substitute for teachers. The study concludes that integrating ChatGPT into EFL writing instruction offers considerable potential for improving learning outcomes when accompanied by the development of AI literacy, digital literacy, and academic ethical awareness.

Abstract

This study examines style shifting and its communicative functions in the Last to Leave the Island video uploaded on the Beta Squad YouTube channel. It aims to identify the types of style shifting used by group members and analyze the underlying communicative functions of these linguistic variations during interaction. The study is grounded in sociolinguistic theories of style variation, including Labov’s (1972) Attention to Speech Theory, Bell’s (2014) Audience Design Theory, and Eckert and Rickford’s (2001) view of style as a resource for constructing social meaning and identity. A qualitative descriptive method was employed, with data collected through observation and documentation. The video was repeatedly viewed, transcribed, and analyzed using qualitative content analysis to identify utterances containing style shifting. The findings show that style shifting occurs frequently among Beta Squad members, including shifts from formal to casual, casual to competitive, serious to humorous, neutral to expressive, and cooperative variations. In addition, style shifting serves multiple communicative functions such as humour, audience engagement, solidarity building, emotional expression, instruction giving, cooperation, self-motivation, and identity construction. A total of 191 instances were identified, with humour as the most dominant function (31.4%), followed by solidarity (12.5%) and emotional expression (8.9%). Overall, style shifting functions as a strategic communicative resource in digital interaction, used to entertain audiences, strengthen relationships, and maintain effective communication in online media contexts.
