Abstract

Emotional engagement in political rhetoric significantly shapes public perception and influences political narratives. This study explores the rhetorical strategies employed by Megawati Soekarnoputri during the Golkar Party's 60th-anniversary celebration. By adopting a qualitative discourse-historical approach, the research identifies three core themes: the strategic use of humor and irony to address past tensions, cultural alignment to resonate with Indonesian values, and the narrative of reconciliation to promote unity. Megawati’s ironic remark, "Kan aku dimusuhin sejagat Dewa Pitara. Sekarang diundang, bingung aku," exemplifies her ability to transform historical grievances into opportunities for emotional connection and relatability. Her use of humor diffuses tension while reinforcing her leadership image. Furthermore, her alignment with Indonesian cultural principles, such as gotong royong (cooperation) and rukun (harmony), enhances the emotional resonance of her rhetoric, positioning her as both approachable and authoritative. This study underscores the significance of emotional engagement and cultural sensitivity in political communication, particularly in Indonesia’s coalition-driven political landscape. By highlighting the intersection of rhetorical strategy, cultural resonance, and political unity, the research contributes to understanding the role of culturally informed rhetoric in navigating complex socio-political contexts.

Abstract

Implicature plays a significant role in both literature and everyday communication, as it allows speakers to convey meanings that are not explicitly stated. This study aims to identify and analyze the types of conversational implicatures found and its hidden meaning in dialogues from the television series Prison Break. The purpose of this research is to explore how implicature functions not only as a linguistic phenomenon but also as a narrative device that reflects character dynamics and emotional depth within a high-stakes prison environment. The novelty of this study lies in its focus on implicature in a serialized crime drama, where indirect communication serves as a strategic tool for survival, manipulation, and resistance. This area has received limited attention in previous studies. Using a descriptive qualitative method, the study collects and examines selected dialogues based on Grice’s theory of implicature. The findings show that particularized implicatures are dominant, making up 80% of the data. This result highlights how heavily characters use context dependent communication to express hidden intentions, avoid direct confrontation, and navigate complex relationships. The use of implicature in Prison Break is shown to be essential not only for character development but also for building tension and advancing the storyline, reinforcing its role as a powerful narrative technique.

Abstract

This study explored the challenges faced by English as a Foreign Language (EFL) students in China, particularly in speaking skills. A mixed-method approach was employed to gather data from survey, interview, and observation to ensure the validity and credibility of the results. The questionnaire used for data collection included five key issues: a) Vocabulary and Grammar, b) Practice Opportunities, c) Confidence and Anxiety, d) Cultural Influence, and e) Teacher-student Interactions. 736 students from different prestigious universities in China participated in the survey, while 20 students and 10 teachers from the prestigious universities in China were selected based on their proficiency levels and varying years of teaching experiences for the interview respectively. Classroom observations were conducted in various EFL classes to access the speaking activities. The findings identified key obstacles such as lack of practice opportunities, anxiety, insufficient vocabulary and grammar, and culture factors that hinder effective communication. Recommendations for educators and policymakers are discussed to enhance speaking proficiency among EFL learners.

Abstract

The paucity of research on the interpretation of death by Muslim readers in “Veronica Decides to Die” (2018) by Paulo Coelho, a novel imbued with existential symbolism, constitutes the primary issue addressed in this study. While this interpretive community holds a profound religious understanding of life, death, and the afterlife, there has been scant scholarly attention on how Muslim readers engage with the theme. Accordingly, the aim of this study is to explore how Muslim readers interpret the theme of death in the novel, with a particular focus on the relationship between the novel’s depiction of death and Islamic conceptualizations of mortality. The study employs Stanley Fish’s interpretive community theory (variorum), which facilitates a nuanced analysis of how Islamic values shape readers' interpretations of the text. The findings reveal that the portrayal of death in the novel is at odds with Islamic doctrine. In Islam, death is conceived as a natural transition within a larger cycle of life, rather than as a nihilistic endpoint. Moreover, suffering is regarded as a test that draws the individual closer to God, whereas Veronika, the novel’s protagonist, perceives death as a form of liberation and a means of escaping the futility of life, thereby disregarding the spiritual principles central to Islamic life.

Abstract

This study explores the integration of English for Specific Purposes (ESP) and Instructional and Material Development (IMD) to enhance the English proficiency of a learner aiming to become a digital content creator in the bakery industry. The instructional design employed thematic modules, including “English Fun Tasks,” supported by multimedia learning (video, audio, and visual aids). Instruction was grounded in real-world bakery contexts to build vocabulary, fluency, and communicative competence across all language skills. Using a multimodal, task-based approach, the learner progressed significantly in lexical acquisition, confidence, emotional expression, and digital storytelling. The study affirms the pedagogical value of contextualized ESP courses tailored to specific professional domains, offering a replicable model for language learning in other vocational fields.

Abstract

Code-switching is a common practice in bilingual classrooms. However, its role in virtual English Language Teaching (ELT) and how students perceive it remain under-explored. This study explores how English teachers use code-switching in virtual English Language Teaching (ELT) classrooms, focusing on its functions and how students perceive it. A mixed methods approach was employed, with the research conducted in two phases. In the quantitative phase, a Likert-scale questionnaire was given to 11 English as a Foreign Language (EFL) graduate students to establish their general attitudes towards code-switching. The qualitative phase involved conducting semi-structured interviews with five participants to gain deeper insights into their beliefs and experiences. The findings suggest that students generally approve of code-switching, considering it to be helpful for comprehension and communication without significantly hindering English acquisition. This suggests that, when used strategically, code-switching can enhance the effectiveness of virtual classrooms. The study highlights the importance of integrating statistical and thematic data to gain a comprehensive understanding of student perspectives in bilingual learning environments.
