Abstract

Artikel ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis kecenderungan tindak tutur dalam dua acara gelar wicara oleh penutur dengan latar belakang budaya berbeda. Artikel ini menggunakan metode penelitian kualitatif dengan sumber data penelitian berasal dari acara gelar wicara Indonesia dan Amerika Serikat di YouTube yakni, Najwa Shihab (NS) dan The Drew Barrymore Show (TDBS). Teknik pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui transkripsi ujaran verbal pada kedua acara tersebut. Data kemudian dikategorisasi serta diidentifikasi berdasarkan bentuk tindak tutur pragmatik oleh penutur dalam merespon pujian. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahwa terdapat perbedaan kecenderungan tindak tutur oleh penutur berbahasa ibu bahasa Indonesia dan bahasa Inggris. Terdapat dua bentuk respon pujian dalam acara NS yakni, penerimaan dan pengalihan pujian. Sementara bentuk respon pujian dalam acara TDBS yakni, penerimaan pujian dan penolakan. Penutur berbahasa Indonesia dalam acara NS cenderung menggunakan strategi tindak tutur tidak langsung. Sementara penutur berbahasa Inggris dalam acara TDBS cenderung menggunakan strategi tindak tutur langsung literal dan ekspresif.

Abstract

The present study demonstrates the pattern of the speech act of apology among Meranaw university students in Southern Philippines, who are adherents of Islam, by employing a descriptive qualitative research method. The study specifically aims to illustrate the strategies employed by 41 respondents in realizing the speech act of apology, as well as to examine the apology strategies they employed towards different groups of addressees: superior status; equal status; lower status; friends; and strangers. The data were collected through a modified written discourse completion task (DCT) that contains 16 hypothetical scenarios. The 615 data obtained were mainly coded and analyzed using the taxonomy of apology strategies and treated using frequency and percentage counting. Finally, the study reveals that the respondents generally and dominantly employ the explicit Expression of Apology (EA) strategy. In addition, combinations of apology strategies as well as new strategies employed by the respondents do not conform to the social status and social distance variables and there is no notable difference in strategy found.

Abstract

This research presents the analysis of the statement made by the President of Indonesia on August 31, 2025, amid political protests and social turmoil. It seeks to investigate how the discourse reflects democracy using Norman Fairclough’s Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) framework. The study employs a descriptive qualitative methodology and examines speech across three aspects: text, discourse practice, and socio-cultural practice. At the textual level, the president employs imperative forms, modal verbs, and interfaith salutations to establish authority while conveying a sense of inclusiveness. Within the realm of discourse practice, the assertion serves as a compelling tool that presents elite agreement as being attentive to the desires of citizens, disseminated widely through media to shape public opinion. At the socio-cultural level, it illustrates Indonesia’s democratic contradiction, acknowledging freedom of speech while strengthening governmental authority. The analysis shows that the speech depicts democracy as a combination of freedom and discipline, along with solidarity and order. The research finds that political discourse transmits governmental stances while also maintaining hegemonic legitimacy. It additionally recommends that upcoming studies examine how media framing enhances or challenges presidential communication and analyze comparable addresses across crises to deepen insights into language, authority, and democracy in Indonesia

Abstract

Integrating English into mathematics learning may increase students’ cognitive load, particularly when instructional materials require learners to divide their attention between multiple sources of information. Based on Cognitive Load Theory, instructional materials designed using Reduced Split Attention are expected to minimize unnecessary cognitive processing. This study aimed to reduce students’ cognitive load through the implementation of Content and English Integrated Mathematics Learning with Reduced Split Attention. This study employed Classroom Action Research conducted in two cycles consisting of planning, action, observation, and reflection stages. The participants were eleventh-grade students in a public senior high school. Data were collected using a mental effort rating scale to measure students’ cognitive load during mathematics learning. The data were analyzed descriptively by comparing cognitive load scores in the pre-cycle, Cycle I, and Cycle II. The results showed a consistent decrease in students’ cognitive load across the three stages. The mean cognitive load score in the pre-cycle was 6.10, which decreased to 4.35 in Cycle I and further decreased to 2.95 in Cycle II. The reduction in cognitive load indicates that the implementation of Reduced Split Attention successfully minimized unnecessary cognitive processing. Improvements made in Cycle II, including clearer integration of formulas, explanations, and English terminology, further reduced students’ mental effort during learning. These findings indicate that Content and English Integrated Mathematics Learning with Reduced Split Attention effectively reduces students’ cognitive load. The results suggest that well-integrated instructional materials play an important role in supporting cognitively efficient mathematics learning.

Abstract

Drawing on a larger virtual ethnography study, this case study research examined how digital storytelling affected preservice teachers’ professional identity construction as future English teachers with Islamic spiritual values. Within the context of online learning during the COVID-19 pandemic, preservice teachers completed movie watching and digital storytelling projects in which they were required to compose and design digital narratives based on their movie watching experiences, reflect during the process, and consider the Islamic values they have learned from the movies within the digital videos they made. Data were collected from 17 teacher candidates from an English language teacher education program in Indonesia and analyzed using qualitative methods. Findings showed that preservice teachers’ experiences with making their own digital stories contributed to their developing professional identities as teachers and shaped their perceptions about how to become better English teachers with Islamic backgrounds.
