Abstract

This study aims to analyze the differences in executive function between bilingual and monolingual children and identify factors that strengthen or weaken these abilities in the context of bilingualism. The research method used is a qualitative approach with phenomenological design, involving 30 early childhood consisting of bilingual and monolingual groups. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with parents and teachers as well as direct observation of children in play and learning environments. The results showed that bilingual children had better abilities in attention, working memory, cognitive flexibility, inhibitory control, and information processing speed than monolingual children. These findings support the theory that bilingualism strengthens executive functions through the activity of managing two languages that requires high focus and adaptability. In conclusion, bilingual education has the potential to enrich children's cognitive development, especially in enhancing executive functions that are crucial for academic and social success. The implications of this study show the importance of integrating a bilingual approach in the early childhood education curriculum to support more optimal cognitive development.

Abstract

In the era of globalization, intercultural interaction is increasing, so understanding the influence of socio-cultural background on language choice is important, especially in a multicultural country like Indonesia. Language choice in intercultural communication is influenced by a variety of socio-cultural factors, which can affect the effectiveness of cross-cultural communication and understanding. This study aims to analyze the influence of socio-cultural background on language preferences in various contexts of intercultural communication in Indonesia. This study uses a qualitative approach, with data collection through semi-structured interviews and participatory observations. Participants were selected based on purposive sampling techniques to cover diverse socio-cultural backgrounds, including education, ethnicity, and exposure to foreign cultures. Data analysis was carried out thematically to identify relevant language preference patterns. The results of the study show that education, cultural values, and exposure to foreign cultures have a significant effect on language choice. In the family environment, regional languages are more dominant, while Indonesian and English are often chosen in professional and intercultural contexts. In conclusion, socio-cultural background shapes individual language preferences, which can strengthen cultural identity and improve the effectiveness of intercultural communication. The practical implications of this research are to provide guidance for communication practitioners and policymakers to design communication strategies that are inclusive and respectful of cultural diversity.

Abstract

Digital interaction among teenagers through platforms such as Instagram has created unique new communication patterns, including in diverse and dynamic speech acts. The background of this research is to understand how digital context affects the variation of adolescents' speech behavior, both in terms of form, function, meaning, and social interaction patterns. This study aims to analyze the variation of adolescents' speech on Instagram and its impact in shaping social identity and strengthening relationships between them. The research method used is a qualitative approach, with data collection techniques in the form of participatory observation and in-depth interviews with active adolescent Instagram users. The data was analyzed through content analysis methods and thematic coding, which involved open coding, axial coding, and selective coding to identify key patterns and themes. The results of the study show that speech on Instagram is dominated by expressive forms, with the main function of sharing information, providing entertainment, and showing solidarity. The meaning of speech is often implicit, influenced by the context of social relationships and conversational situations. Interaction patterns such as question-and-answer, feedback comments, and jokes show the emotional closeness between users. In conclusion, the digital context provides flexibility for adolescents to express themselves and form strong social bonds, making social media a space that supports diversity of expression. These findings have implications for a better understanding of the dynamics of adolescent communication in the digital era.

Abstract

Differences in gender-based communication patterns in the work environment have been a concern in sociolinguistic studies, given their influence on power dynamics and politeness in professional interactions. The background of this research aims to understand how men and women express power and politeness through language, taking into account the role of social construction and cultural expectations of gender roles in organizations. The purpose of this study is to identify patterns in language use between men and women and understand their implications in an increasingly inclusive work context. This research method uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive method. Data was collected through in-depth interviews and participatory observations on employees in several organizations to explore perceptions, experiences, and communication patterns used in inter-gender interactions. Thematic analysis is used to identify key themes in the use of language related to power and politeness. The results of the study showed that men more often used direct and assertive language to assert authority, while women preferred a persuasive and collaborative communication style. This reflects social expectations of the role of gender in organizational structures. The conclusion of this study shows that these differences in language patterns not only reflect individual preferences, but are also influenced by organizational culture and social norms. The practical implications are that organizations can use these findings to develop more inclusive communication strategies, thereby supporting a more equal and harmonious work environment.

Abstract

Multilingualism is increasingly common among young adults, providing a variety of cognitive impacts that affect vocabulary processing and language comprehension. Although multilingualism has benefits for cognitive flexibility, complex cognitive processes can result in challenges in proper word selection as well as language comprehension, especially when switching languages. This study aims to explore how multilingualism has an impact on vocabulary processing and language comprehension in young adults, with a focus on the phenomenon of language interference. Using a qualitative method with a case study approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews with a group of young adults who mastered more than one language. Thematic analysis was applied to identify key patterns in their language processing experience. The results showed that multilingual young adults often face "tip of the tongue" and difficulties in accessing vocabulary due to interlingual competition in their cognitive systems. In addition, language comprehension was better in more frequently used languages, while infrequently used languages showed a decrease in comprehension ability. The conclusions of this study support the theory of Inhibitory Control and Competition Model, which explains how multilingualism involves a complex process of word selection. In practical terms, this study suggests the development of learning strategies that can reduce language interference, for example through intensive vocabulary practice. The implications of this study include guidance for educators in designing language curricula that are more effective and responsive to the challenges faced by multilingual individuals.

Abstract

This study highlights the relationship between linguistic anxiety and lexical search speed in formal communication. The background of the study shows that formal situations often trigger anxiety, which results in slow vocabulary selection and long speech pauses. Qualitative methods were used through observation, interviews, and thematic analysis of employees of government agencies and multinational companies. Results showed a correlation between high levels of anxiety and decreased word search efficiency, hindering communication fluency. The practical implication is the importance of integrated anxiety management and language training, so that individuals can be more confident and effective when dealing with the demands of formality.

Abstract

This study explores the effectiveness of written and oral corrective feedback in improving mastery of syntactic structures. The background of the study emphasizes the need for correction strategies capable of helping students understand and apply grammar accurately. Qualitative methods were used through observations, interviews, and document analysis to analyze students' responses to both types of feedback. Results show that written feedback provides a permanent reference that can be reviewed repeatedly, while oral feedback encourages instant correction and interactive discussion. The implication is that teachers should combine the two methods so that students get a combination of detailed explanations and immediate corrections, while considering students' motivation and comfort factors in receiving corrections.

Abstract

This study addresses the role of environmental factors and biological predisposition in the development of toddlers' lexical competence. The background of the study highlights that 1-5 years is a crucial period for children to absorb vocabulary, but the level of success is often influenced by genetic variables and the intensity of verbal interaction. The method used is qualitative with participatory observation, parent interviews, and collection of daily records to map the dynamics of vocabulary learning. The results show a synergy between innate potential and communication-rich environments, where high genetic potential children are further helped by stimulation, while low potential children can catch up through intense interaction. The implication is that an integrated approach that aligns biological characteristics and environmental support is expected to maximize early language development.

Abstract

This study explores prosodic analysis as a method to recognize speech impairment in the elderly. The background shows that physiological and neurological changes often affect intonation patterns, rhythm, intensity, and vocal quality, thus impacting communication fluency. The method used was qualitative with in vivo voice recording, interviews, and signal analysis using sound processing software. The results found a decrease in pitch frequency range, slowness of speech rhythm, and decreased voice intensity, indicating a decline in phonation function among the elderly. The implication is that the prosodic approach can be an early screening tool, enabling more appropriate clinical and speech therapy interventions to maintain the quality of life of the elderly.
