Abstract

This study aims to investigate EFL learners’ difficulties in writing the introduction to a research proposal. We conducted this study using a survey research design. The subjects of this study were thirty-six learners and the instrument used is a questionnaire. The findings revealed that the learners' total score for agreement with the challenges in writing the Introduction section of a research proposal was 117.75, indicating neutral conditions. It was confirmed by an overall percentage of 65.4%. It indicates that learners do not have a strong judgment about the difficulties of writing an introduction to a research proposal. This neutral condition could indicate perplexity, doubt, or a lack of trust in their abilities. The most difficult components for learners were explaining the origins of the problem or topic in their introduction section, as well as presenting an explanation for the gap. They use some of the best methods to solve their problems, such as reading a lot of relevant sources, discussing with the professor, friends, or others, and employing technology. It is intended that by giving additional help, support, and relevant resources, learners will be able to overcome these challenges and improve their writing skills.

This research used a mixed methods approach combining qualitative and quantitative methods, data was collected by surveys and interviews. The participants in this study were students of STKIP Persada Khatulistiwa Sintang aged 17-25 years old. The research findings show that the use of Dayak Village language is in a position that is due to a tendency to decrease the ability, frequency, and scope of its use. This is influenced by social, educational, and psychological factors. The psychological factors that shape the younger generation's attitude towards the Dayak Village language are a strong sense of cultural pride and ownership, which fosters a positive attitude towards preservation. However, some of them experience hesitation or embarrassment in using the language in public due to lack of confidence or fear of judgment.

Language use by parents significantly affects fluency, while mixed language background or preference towards Indonesian can weaken the use of Dayak Desa.

Abstract

This research examines the application of speech acts in the political language of Indonesian President Joko Widodo (Jokowi), focusing on his 2024 Annual Session address at the People’s Consultative Assembly (MPR) RI. Using a qualitative content analysis approach, the study categorizes different speech acts, including assertive, expressive, directive, commissive, and declarative forms. Jokowi's speech, heavily cantered on assertive acts, emphasizes the significance of presenting factual content to strengthen public trust and highlight governmental achievements. His selective use of expressive acts enables an emotional connection with the audience, fostering solidarity and a shared sense of identity. Importantly, the lack of directive and commissive acts reflects the speech’s retrospective and reflective character, fitting the formal context where reviewing past accomplishments outweighs issuing commands or promises. Through speech act theory, this study explores how Jokowi tactfully combines information with emotion to convey authority, empathy, and stability. The integration of hybrid speech acts, such as assertive-expressive forms, enhances the speech's impact by embedding emotional weight into factual statements, promoting deeper audience engagement. This analysis reveals Jokowi’s ability to use language as both a communication tool and a means to shape public sentiment. The findings offer insight into the essential role of language in political discourse, showing how speech acts can consolidate leadership and unity in structured political environments.
