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

Language errors are the ignorance of individuals or groups of people about the basic concepts of language learning, the result of this ignorance will cause deviations from the determining factors of communication or social norms as well as deviations from applicable grammatical rules. There are still errors in the student papers of the Indonesian Language and Literature Education Study Program, Riau Islamic University. This error is seen at the morphological level. Therefore, this research was carried out with the aim of identifying errors in students' papers at the morphological level. The method used in this research is a content analysis method with a qualitative approach. Data collection techniques use documentation techniques, reading techniques and note-taking techniques. In this study, the author found 81 errors including 4 errors in omitting affixes, 24 errors in sounds that should have melted but were not melted, 3 errors in decaying sounds that should not have melted, 4 errors in replacing morphs, 2 errors in abbreviating morphs mem-, men-, meng-, meny-, and menge-, 23 errors in inappropriate use of affixes, 2 errors in determining the base form incorrectly, 6 errors in inappropriate affixes in word combinations, and 2 errors in inappropriate repetition of compound words.

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

Abstract

This study provides a contrastive analysis of interjections in the Indonesian and Mandailing Batak languages, focusing on their morphological characteristics. By comparing these two languages, we aim to highlight their similarities and differences in the use and formation of interjections. This analysis is limited to a morphological review to prevent overlap with topics related to verb types and verb formation processes. Utilizing both descriptive qualitative research methodology and comparative-contrast descriptive methodology, we systematically compare the interjection morphology in both languages. The methodologies differ in their application: the descriptive qualitative approach involves detailed observations and descriptions of interjection usage, while the comparative-contrast approach focuses on identifying and analyzing the distinctions and similarities between the languages. The primary data source comprises example sentences created by the researcher, ensuring linguistic acceptability. The researcher's specific tasks include selecting relevant sentences, analyzing their morphological structures, and categorizing the interjections. Data collection encompasses the specific interjection systems of each language, and each grammatical category's realization is examined. Contrasts are drawn based on the analysis outcomes after thorough data collection.

Abstract

The female punk subculture highlights resistance to dominant gender norms. This study explores gender resistance within the female punk subculture through the lenses of culture, identity, and activism. In the punk movement, women are often placed in peripheral positions. However, this research shows that this subculture becomes an important space for active resistance against sexism and patriarchy. This study is a descriptive qualitative research with a gender performativity approach. The study focuses on the female punk movements in Ujung Berung, Bandung, using participant observation, recording techniques, and interviews with various stakeholders including community leaders and local residents. The researcher observed the resistance and movements of female punks through recording and noting techniques. Additionally, the researcher conducted interviews with female punks, community leaders, and local residents. After the data was collected, the researcher performed data reduction, classification, validation, and coding in tables, followed by interpretation. The research findings indicate three main roles in gender resistance within the punk subculture, they were the role of women in the punk subculture; the expression of identity and gender resistance; and the impact of women's movements within the punk subculture

Abstract

This research examines politeness and impoliteness strategies in the Sundanese language as used on the Ridwan Remin YouTube podcast. Analyzing these strategies provides insights into cultural and social norms, enhances understanding of interpersonal communication within the Sundanese community, and demonstrates how traditional linguistic practices evolve in modern media contexts. As podcast media gains popularity, studying these strategies in this digital format reveals how traditional practices adapt to reflect broader social and cultural changes. This qualitative study utilizes politeness theory by Brown & Levinson (1987) and impoliteness theory by Culpeper (1996), alongside pragmatics, to explore how speakers manage social relationships through language in a podcast setting. The research focuses on the podcast episode "Soleh Solihun: Working with Sincerity (in Sundanese)," uploaded on Ridwan Remin's YouTube channel on May 31, 2021. By analyzing the podcast transcript, the study identifies various politeness and impoliteness strategies used by speakers and evaluates listener responses. This research not only contributes to understanding linguistic strategies in digital communication but also offers implications for future studies on communication practices in evolving digital platforms.

Abstract

Nunas nede is a cultural ritual inherited from the ancestors of Kesik Village, Masbagik District, East Lombok. The nunas nede tradition is believed to be an expression of a request for rain and gratitude for the blessings of fertile agricultural land and harvests that have been given to the people of Kesik Village. The nunas nede tradition consists of two core activities, namely ngayu ayu and gawe adat (core event). Each procession in the Nunas nede tradition is a symbol of the beliefs of the people of Kesik Village. These symbols describe the meaning in the Nunas nede tradition. This research was conducted to analyze the meaning of the Nunas nede tradition using Clifford Geertz's symbolic interpretive theory. There are three concepts in Geertz's theory, namely the knowledge or cognitive system (mode of), the value or evaluative system (mode for); and (3) symbol system. These three concepts will produce a system of meaning from the nunas nede tradition. The results of the research show that the symbols in the nunas nede tradition are the begibung symbol meaning establishing ties of friendship and social equality in society, the dulang symbol meaning gratitude, the nyawik symbol meaning maintaining the balance of nature and the spring symbol meaning the source of life. From these symbols, the meaning of the nunas nede tradition is obtained, a request for rain to fall as well as a form of community gratitude which is a link between friendship and strengthening family ties, by working together to maintain the balance of the universe which is the source of life.
