Abstract

The escalation of the global climate crisis has necessitated a rigorous examination of how political leaders linguistically construct environmental realities to legitimize policy decisions. Despite extensive research on environmental communication, there remains a paucity of comparative critical discourse studies examining the linguistic dichotomy between Global North and Global South leaders within high-stakes economic forums. This study analyzes the rhetorical strategies employed by G20 leaders during the 2024 Summit to uncover how language serves as a tool for ideological dominance and evasion of responsibility. Utilizing Norman Fairclough’s Three-Dimensional Model of Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA), this qualitative study examines transcripts of keynote addresses from four G20 leaders. The analysis focuses on textual features, discursive practices, and broader social implications. The findings reveal a distinct divergence: Global North leaders predominantly utilize nominalization and passive voice to obfuscate agency regarding historical emissions, whereas Global South leaders employ high-modality affective language to frame climate change as an immediate existential threat requiring reparations. The study concludes that the discourse of "green growth" often functions as a hegemonic tool to maintain neoliberal economic status quos while feigning ecological urgency.

Abstract

In educational environments, language is essential not only as a teaching tool but also as a means of establishing, upholding, and occasionally contesting power dynamics. This article investigates how language use in educational settings affects participation, authority, control, and identity. The study employs a qualitative research design grounded in Fairclough’s three-dimensional model of Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) to uncover implicit power relations present in educational discourse. Data were gathered through non-participant observations and audio recordings of English classroom interactions at a public junior high school in Pematangsiantar, North Sumatra. The findings reveal that teacher talk significantly dominates classroom interaction, utilizing imperative forms, closed-ended questioning, and the Initiation–Response–Feedback (IRF) sequence to maintain institutional authority. This dominance positions the teacher as the primary authority while limiting students’ opportunities to initiate interaction or negotiate meaning. The study concludes that understanding linguistic power is vital for supporting more inclusive and equitable teaching methods that redistribute power more effectively.

Abstract

Listening comprehension is a foundational yet challenging skill for EFL learners in Indonesia, primarily due to limited exposure to authentic spoken English and natural pronunciation. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of audio recording media in enhancing the listening comprehension of recount texts among tenth-grade students. Using a descriptive quantitative method, the research involved 33 students at SMA Tamansiswa Pematangsiantar as participants. Data were gathered through pre-test and post-test procedures utilizing a fill-in-the-blank listening instrument based on the recount text “My Holiday in Bali.” The findings demonstrate a substantial improvement in students' listening performance, with the mean score rising from 40.00 in the pre-test to 79.09 in the post-test, reflecting a 97.7% increase. Furthermore, the percentage of students meeting the Minimum Mastery Criterion (KKM ≥ 75) surged from 6.1% to 66.7%. The results indicate that audio recording media fosters a conducive learning environment by providing repeated exposure, enhancing auditory resilience, and allowing students to internalize linguistic input at their own pace. Pedagogically, this study underscores the necessity of integrating technology-driven media to support student-centered and contextualized learning, fully aligning with the Merdeka Belajar framework to cultivate more autonomous and motivated learners.

Abstract

English has become an essential communication tool in modern military contexts, particularly in multinational operations and international cooperation. However, many military personnel still experience difficulties in using English effectively for professional communication. This study aims to examine the role of English for Military Purposes (EMP) in enhancing military personnel’s communication skills. The research employed a descriptive qualitative design using a library research method and needs analysis guided by ESP theory. The findings reveal that while reading skills are dominant for interpreting technical manuals, there is a significant gap in speaking and listening proficiency required for operational tasks. The study concludes that a needs-based and task-oriented EMP program, incorporating authentic materials and simulations, can significantly improve communication effectiveness and confidence in military professional settings.
