Abstract

This study investigates the problematic issues surrounding the representation of idiomatic expressions in monolingual online dictionaries, with a particular focus on the Oxford Monolingual Online Learner’s Dictionary. Idiomatic expressions, which are characterized by non-literal meanings and fixed or semi-fixed lexical patterns, present unique challenges for lexicographers. Drawing from qualitative analysis, the study identifies three central problem areas: (1) stability versus instability of idiomatic forms, (2) multi-word complexity and lexical evolution, and (3) idiomaticity and transparency. Findings reveal that idioms frequently appear in multiple lexical variants, complicating their classification and interpretation. Furthermore, many idioms evolve over time, leading to inconsistencies in dictionary entries and confusion among users. The degree of transparency of idioms also varies, with some being highly opaque and difficult to interpret without cultural or contextual knowledge. These issues highlight the limitations of traditional dictionary models in addressing the dynamic and figurative nature of idiomatic language. The study concludes by recommending a more phraseological and pattern-driven approach to lexicography, emphasizing the integration of idiom families, historical context, and usage-based explanations to better serve language learners and users. This research contributes to the field of lexicology and lexicography by offering practical insights for improving idiom representation in monolingual dictionaries.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze language acquisition in children aged 4–6 years at tkit nusintama from a sociopragmatic perspective. A qualitative descriptive method was employed, with data collected through observation and interviews with tk b teachers. The findings reveal that the children have mastered various sentence types—declarative, interrogative, imperative, and exclamatory—and can apply them appropriately in different communicative contexts. From a sociopragmatic standpoint, the children demonstrate the ability to adapt their language use to different situations, interlocutors, and politeness norms, such as turn-taking in conversations. Key factors supporting their language development include active social interaction, the role of teachers as communication facilitators, a conducive learning environment, and family involvement in home language activities. These findings indicate that the children at tkit nusintama exhibit strong language abilities and age-appropriate sociopragmatic development.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of event photo media on the writing ability of editorial text writing. The type of method in this study is a quasi-experimental with a quantitative approach to measure the results objectively on the ability to write editorial text through event photo media. In this study, it can be seen that the average value obtained from the post-test results of students in the experimental class is 79.85 and 62.50 in the control class. After the post-test, the next step the author conducted a prerequisite test which included a normality test and a homogeneity test. The prerequisite test was carried out as a requirement for hypothesis testing. After the normality test, the experimental class p-value was 0.455> 0.05 and the control class p-value was 0.060> 0.05. Thus, it can be concluded that both classes are normally distributed. The homogeneity test that the author has conducted obtained significant results of 0.071> 0.05 (significant level). Thus, both classes come from homogeneous variants. The results of the hypothesis test conducted, the calculated t result = 2.514 > t table 1.671 then H0 is rejected and Ha is accepted. So it can be concluded that there is a difference in the learning outcomes of students who use event photo media learning media with the learning outcomes of students who use conventional media. The learning outcomes using event photo media are better than the learning outcomes of students who use conventional media in learning to write editorial texts.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the academic and emotional contribution of peer mentoring practices in the thesis writing process in students of the English Language Studies Program at IAIN Curup. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach involving six final year students who act as mentors and mentees through purposive sampling techniques. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and participatory observations, then analyzed using thematic analysis. The results of the study show that peer mentoring plays a significant role in helping students understand the feedback of the supervisor, improve their writing structure, and improve their understanding of research methodology and data analysis. In addition, peer mentoring also provides important emotional support, such as increasing students' motivation, confidence, and academic resilience during the thesis writing process. Collaborative interaction between mentors and mentees also encourages the exchange of ideas and the development of critical thinking skills. These findings confirm that peer mentoring is an effective and holistic strategy in supporting the successful completion of a thesis, both from academic and psychological aspects. Therefore, this practice can be considered as a supporting approach in the higher education environment to improve the quality and smoothness of the student thesis writing process.

Abstract

The Merdeka Curriculum is a national education policy aimed at providing learning flexibility and fostering students’ competencies and character development. However, its implementation at the school level, particularly in Social Studies–Geography subjects, still faces various challenges that affect learning effectiveness. This study aims to analyze the problems of the Merdeka Curriculum and its implementation in Social Studies–Geography at SMPN 1 Wundulako. This research employed a qualitative approach using observation, interviews, and questionnaires as data collection techniques. The research subjects consisted of the school principal, Geography teachers, and eighth-grade students. The results indicate that the implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum has been carried out, but has not yet been optimal. The main obstacles include limited learning facilities, diverse student characteristics, teachers’ administrative workload, and limited variation in teaching methods. Nevertheless, school leadership support, teachers’ understanding of the curriculum, and the application of contextual learning serve as supporting factors. The study concludes that strengthening institutional support and continuous teacher competency development are essential to improving the quality of Social Studies–Geography learning.
