Abstract

This research aims to analyze the use of various languages ​​by initial and final level students at UPN Veteran East Java on social media X and its effects on social interaction. With the development of communication technology, social media has become the main platform for students to interact, share information and express themselves. The use of language on social media is influenced by many factors, including age, environment and level of education. In this context, freshmen and final year students have different backgrounds and experiences, which influence the way they communicate on digital platforms. The research method used is descriptive qualitative with data collection techniques in the form of observation. Data were analyzed to identify differences and similarities in the use of various languages ​​between the two groups of students. It is hoped that the results of this research will provide a deeper understanding of language dynamics among students, as well as the factors that influence their language choices on social media. These findings can also be a basis for developing better digital literacy among students and provide important insights into the dynamics of digital communication among the younger generation and their implications for the development of the Indonesian language in the modern era.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the language varieties used in netizen comments on public figure Laura Meizani Mawardi (Lolly) on the Instagram social media platform. The research focuses on identifying the language variety, characteristics, and sociolinguistic context behind the comments. The research method used is a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection techniques through documentation and observation of Lolly’s Instagram account comments. Data analysis was conducted by examining linguistic aspects, including informal language varieties, the use of prokemic language, code mixing, and other linguistic variations. The results show that netizen comments show the complexity of language use influenced by social factors, age, cultural background, and the context of interaction on social media. The dominant language variety is slang, characterised by abbreviations, emoticons, and expressions that tend to be free and limitless. This research contributes to understanding the dynamics of communication on social media and the language phenomenon that develops among internet users.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the politeness of language and communication in the era of globalization, especially through the Facebook application. As the use of social media increases, interactions between individuals become more complex and diverse. Using a qualitative approach, data was collected from posts, comments and messages circulating on the platform. The results of the analysis show that language politeness on Facebook is influenced by cultural factors, communication context and user characteristics. Although politeness norms are changing and the language used tends to be more informal, there is still an element of respect. The study also reveals the challenges of maintaining politeness in a fast-paced and highly anonymous digital environment. These results are expected to provide insights into the importance of language politeness in social interactions on social media and its impact on relationships between individuals in the context of globalization.

Abstract

Speaking is one of the most challenging skills for junior high school students, as it requires fluency, pronunciation accuracy, confidence, and expressive communication. Many students struggle with speaking English due to limited exposure, fear of making mistakes, and lack of engaging learning methods. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of storytelling in improving the speaking skills of eighth-grade students, particularly in terms of pronunciation, fluency, confidence, and expressive delivery. Using a qualitative research approach, this study involved 20 eighth-grade students with limited English-speaking experience who participated in a five-day storytelling program, where they practiced speaking in small groups guided by tutors. Data were collected through pre- and postobservations, video recordings, and student reflections. The results indicate that storytelling significantly improved students’ speaking abilities, as they became more fluent, confident, and expressive in their storytelling performances. Initially, students exhibited hesitation and struggled with pronunciation, but by the final session, they demonstrated greater clarity, natural fluency, and expressive body language. Peer collaboration and tutor support played a crucial role in fostering students' engagement and reducing anxiety. Despite some early challenges, students ultimately found storytelling enjoyable and beneficial for their speaking development. These findings suggest that storytelling should be integrated into English learning as an interactive and effective method to improve students' oral communication skills, with further research needed to explore its long-term impact and its effectiveness compared to other speaking-based teaching methods.

Abstract

The study titled "The Effectiveness of the TPRC Strategy in Reading Comprehension Learning at SMA Negeri 1 Tangse" aims to evaluate whether there is a significant difference in reading comprehension skills between students taught using the TPRC strategy and those taught without it, as well as to assess the effectiveness of the TPRC strategy in improving students' reading comprehension skills at SMA Negeri 1 Tangse. This study was conducted on December 24, 2024, during the second semester of the 2024/2025 academic year. The research method used was an experimental design with a control group pretest-posttest design. The study population included all tenth-grade students at SMA Negeri 1 Tangse, totaling 64 students, and the sampling technique was simple random sampling. The instrument used was a multiple-choice reading comprehension skills test. The instrument's content validity was tested, and the instrument’s reliability yielded an alpha value of 0.811 using the Iteman program, indicating a high level of reliability. Data analysis was performed using a t-test at a 5% significance level after meeting the assumptions of normality and homogeneity. The results showed that the t-test on the posttest scores of reading comprehension skills between the control group and the experimental group yielded a th value of 3.163, which is greater than the tt value of 2.00 (3.163 > 2.00), with a p-value of 0.002 (0.002 < 0.05 = significant) and degrees of freedom (df) of 62. This indicates a significant difference in reading comprehension skills between the two groups. The average improvement score in reading comprehension skills in the experimental group was 6.19, while the control group showed only a 2.12-point increase. This study concludes that the TPRC strategy is more effective in improving students’ reading comprehension skills than learning without the TPRC strategy. The researcher recommends that schools integrate the TPRC strategy regularly in reading comprehension classes and develop teacher training on the implementation of this strategy to achieve more optimal learning outcomes.

Abstract

Film is one of the most effective media for preaching in conveying moral and religious messages, including in the context of Islamic preaching. In this case, film acts as a means of communication that can reach a wider audience. One interesting example is the film "Merindu Cahaya de Amstel," which combines a love story with Islamic values ​​conveyed through narratives and characters that are relevant to everyday life. This study aims to identify the preaching messages contained in the film "Merindu Cahaya de Amstel" using Roland Barthes' semiotic analysis. In this analysis, we will explore messages related to Islamic values ​​contained in the film. This study refers to Roland Barthes' semiotic analysis theory, which includes three meanings: connotation, denotation, and myth. The method used in this study is a qualitative approach, where secondary data is collected to analyze the existing preaching messages. The results of the study show that each scene and dialogue between characters contains these three meanings, namely connotation, denotation, and myth. In this analysis, the dialogue is processed through metaphors and implied meanings, so that the real meaning can be produced. In addition, in the representation of Islamic values ​​messages, there are three important categories: messages of faith, sharia, and morals. This research is expected to help the public in choosing films that convey positive messages. In addition, films that contain preaching messages also have the potential to provide a positive impact on the lives of their viewers.
