Abstract

Linguistically, "gemoy" is not listed in the KBBI. This word is a pun on "gemas," which in KBBI means very irritated or very irritated, but in slang, "gemoy" describes more positive feelings of resonance. This article explores how the term 'gemoy' is used strategically in the 2024 presidential election campaign through the lens of Fairclough's critical discourse analysis model. This case study focuses on the @mypresident.id Instagram account and a post entitled "When 'Gemoy' Becomes a Trend in Indonesian Society". This study aims to analyze the use of the term "gemoy" during the 2024 presidential election campaign. This research applies qualitative descriptive methods with critical discourse analysis techniques. The data collected is in the form of all lingual elements, namely words, phrases, clauses, and sentences containing the word "gemoy" in the comment column of netizens on Instagram @mypresident.id. The data were analyzed using the three dimensions of Fairclough's Model Critical Discourse Analysis, which consists of a textual dimension, a discursive dimension, and a sociocultural dimension. The dimensions of sociocultural practices were further analyzed using Dell Hymes' SPEAKING theory. The results show that communication strategies that utilize "gemoy" branding to build politicians' self-image have provided practical examples of how politicians can use digital media to create a more relatable and attractive image in this digital age to influence public opinion. The use of creative and varied language is an important element in politics to attract public attention, build relationships with voters, and achieve political goals, especially for Generation Z and millennials

Abstract

Mastery of speaking skills in a foreign language is a major challenge for many language learners. To address this challenge, a revolutionary new language learning platform called EngBreaking has emerged. EngBreaking combines innovative approaches and advanced technology to enhance speaking skills in English. Through interactive speaking practice sessions, games, and real-time feedback, EngBreaking enables learners to practice speaking confidently and acquire the skills needed to communicate effectively in real-life situations. This research examines the role of EngBreaking in improving foreign language speaking skills and its potential impact on language learners at various proficiency levels. Data were collected through questionnaires involving 50 students at BASMAH Dormitory. The results indicate a significant improvement in English speaking abilities, with high scores in many aspects: 70% regarding the quality of the EngBreaking platform, 65% of respondents experienced an increase in English language skills, and 75% were satisfied with the EngBreaking platform service. Based on the questionnaire score results, it can be concluded that the use of the EngBreaking platform effectively enhances English speaking skills. This suggests that EngBreaking not only boosts confidence and speaking skills but also expands vocabulary and grammar understanding. The implications of these findings are that EngBreaking has great potential to change the paradigm of language learning and provide broader access for learners to achieve higher proficiency levels in foreign languages.

Abstract

This research aims to describe and analyze assertive speech acts in the debate event for the second candidate for Vice President of the Republic of Indonesia 2024. The method used in this research is a content analysis method with a qualitative approach. The qualitative approach is an approach that examines scientific objects in the form of narrative texts, while the content analysis method is a method that involves an in-depth discussion of the content of written information. The data source for this research is the KPU RI YouTube channel which is currently hotly discussed and watched by the wider community. The data collection techniques used in this research are observation techniques, note techniques, and documentation techniques. In this research the author found 43 assertive speech acts, consisting of 26 speech acts of informing, 6 speech acts of suggesting, 5 speech acts of stating, 1 speech act of reporting, 3 speech acts of complaining, 1 speech act of demanding and 1 speech act of disappointing. Based on the utterances spoken, the speech act with the most is the speech act of telling as many as 26 utterances because this speech act contains information that one wants to give to the interlocutor and the general public, while the utterances with the fewest are the speech act of reporting, the speech act of demanding and the speech act of jealousy each with 1 statement. So, it can be said that an assertive speech act is a speech act that binds the speaker to the truth of what is being said, therefore the speaker should pay attention to his speech when speaking, especially to the general public

Abstract

This research investigates the factors influencing the use of Indonesian and regional languages among vocational high school students. Utilizing a qualitative research design and a case study approach, the study explores the impact of regional languages on students' use of Indonesian during daily school interactions. Data were gathered through observations and interviews with students, which were then subjected to a detailed case study analysis. The findings indicate that students often code-switch between Indonesian and regional languages during the learning process. While regional languages are predominantly used in peer interactions for better mutual understanding, Indonesian is more frequently employed in teacher-student interactions, particularly when answering questions. Despite teachers' efforts to promote the use of Indonesian, regional languages persist in informal settings. This study underscores the dynamic relationship between regional languages and Indonesian, highlighting the necessity for language policies that support multilingualism within educational settings

Abstract

This study aims to examine and enhance teacher creativity in developing Canva-based language learning media at SMK Negeri 3 ALasa. Specifically, it seeks to understand how such media can be designed to better engage students and improve learning outcomes. This research employs a Research and Development (R&D) approach using the 4D model, which includes four stages: Define (identifying needs and goals), Design (planning the media structure and content), Develop (creating and refining the media), and Disseminate (sharing the final product). The learning media were evaluated by a team of media and material experts, focusing on criteria such as visual appeal, multimedia integration, and content customization. The teachers' creativity is evidenced by the attractive visual design, varied multimedia elements, and tailored content that meets students' needs. The media achieved an 88% effectiveness score from user testing and a 92% validation score from material experts. These findings underscore the importance of integrating technology like Canva in creating innovative and engaging learning experiences. This approach not only enhances student understanding but also empowers teachers to explore creative teaching methods. The high validation scores indicate that the Canva-based learning media are effective and well-received, demonstrating significant teacher creativity and potential for broader application in educational settings.

Abstract

This study investigates the use of inflectional and derivational affixes in the academic writing of second–year English students, identifying the challenges they face in applying these linguistic elements. Using qualitative methods, specifically content analysis, this study examined a sample of 30 students' writings from the 2021C class. The analysis identified a total of 172 affixes: 122 inflectional suffixes, 36 derivational suffixes, and 14 derivational prefixes. Inflectional suffixes, particularly irregular forms, were predominantly used, while derivational affixes primarily served to change grammatical classes, with "–ly" being the most common. Students encountered several challenges, such as errors in inflectional suffix usage (e.g., omission of plural markers and subject–verb agreement issues) and difficulties with derivational affixes (e.g., omissions and incorrect usage of "–ing," "–ment," "–able," "–re," "–un"). These problems were attributed to confusion between bound and free morphemes, forgetfulness, and a lack of awareness. The study recommends tailored teaching strategies, including targeted exercises, detailed explanations, and ample practice opportunities, to improve students' proficiency with affixes, thereby enhancing the quality and clarity of their academic writing
