Abstract

Abstract This study investigated learners’ difficulties in pronouncing the English plural –s and examines the role of phonological interference in shaping these difficulties. The research focuses on PGMI students, who often experience challenges in producing the correct plural endings, potentially leading to miscommunication. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, data were collected from 40 students through recordings of their reading of 20 sentences containing plural nouns. The data were analyzed by transcribing students’ pronunciations into phonetic symbols, classifying pronunciation errors, and identifying patterns of phonological interference from Indonesian. The findings reveal that out of 800 pronunciation instances, 327 (41%) were correct, while 473 (59%) were incorrect. The errors fall into four main categories: omission of the –s suffix, substitution of /s/ for /z/, substitution of /ɪs/ for /ɪz/, and substitution of /əs/ for /z/. These results suggest that differences between Indonesian and English phonological systems significantly influence learners’ pronunciation of the plural –s marker. Keywords: English plural –s, pronunciation difficulties, phonological interference, EFL learners

Abstract

This study aims to explain the comparison of the use of photographic metaphors as a means of preserving memories in the lyrics of the song "Monokrom" by Tulus and "Photograph" by Ed Sheeran using a comparative literary approach. The methodology applied is descriptive qualitative, employing content analysis as well as heuristic and hermeneutic readings to uncover the hidden meanings within the lyrics. The findings of this study indicate that both songs generally use photographic metaphors as a means to combat forgetting and slow down time to preserve emotional memories. Nevertheless, there are clear differences in the emotional functions and cultural nuances underlying the two works. In the song "Monokrom," photographic metaphors such as "black-and-white photo sheets" possess a retrospective and collective character, highlighting feelings of gratitude, appreciation, and self-reflection regarding shared life experiences with others. On the other hand, the song "Photograph" utilizes metaphors like "frozen still," which reflect a prospective and individual nature, serving as a protective mechanism to shield a romantic relationship from the threats of distance and time. This difference reflects Indonesia’s cultural background, which places greater emphasis on togetherness, in contrast to Western culture, which focuses more on personal experience. This analysis also underscores the importance of intermediality, where visual media (photographs) are translated into poetic language that provides a multisensory experience for the listener. The conclusion of this study indicates that while memory is a shared human experience, its expression through metaphors is grounded in the cultural context and emotional needs of its creators. Keywords: Comparative literature, Photography, Song lyrics, Visual memory

Abstract

Bahasa Walikan is a dialect unique to the people of Malang, characterized by a linguistic feature known as word phonetic reversal. Bahasa Walikan remains a definitive symbol of Malang’s local cultural identity, yet its continued existence faces significant scrutiny. Its relevance is increasingly put to the test as daily usage shifts within a rapidly changing society. The purpose of this study is to analyze the use and existence of Bahasa Walikan among non-local students at Universitas Brawijaya, given the multicultural student body from outside East Java, which makes it an ideal setting for observing the use of Bahasa Walikan by non-local students. This study employs in-depth qualitative interviews and participant observation among non-local students. The results of the study indicate that non-local students perceive Bahasa Walikan as a vital tool for fostering emotional closeness and social inclusion. However, field data reveal its weak existence in the heterogeneous campus environment, with 72.4% of respondents rarely or never using the language in their daily interactions. This study confirms that Bahasa Walikan is at risk of extinction among university students due to the dominance of the national language and the lack of sustained active use. Without a commitment to and a positive attitude toward the language among its speakers, there is concern that the role of Bahasa Walikan as a symbol of Malang’s local cultural identity will gradually disappear in the future. Keywords: Bahasa Walikan, Existence, Universitas Brawijaya, Non-local students.

Abstract

This study examines how imperative sentences and direct second-person address function as rhetorical strategies in Dale Carnegie’s How to Win Friends and Influence People. Drawing on rhetorical theory—particularly the concept of ethos—the study investigates how these linguistic features engage readers, guide behavior, and establish the author’s credibility. Using a qualitative content-analysis design supported by quantitative data, the study analyzes 141 selected sentences containing imperatives and direct address through the pronouns “you,” “your,” and “yourself.” The results show that imperative sentences are frequently combined with direct address, producing a text that is reader-centered and interactive. Imperatives serve functions such as instruction, advice, encouragement, warning, and moral guidance, providing clear and actionable direction, while direct address engages readers by fostering personal connection, prompting self-reflection, and presenting hypothetical scenarios. Together, these two features substantially contribute to the construction of ethos: imperatives convey wisdom and authority, while direct address fosters empathy and personal connection, jointly portraying Carnegie as a credible, trustworthy, and supportive mentor. The study demonstrates that simple, easily understandable linguistic choices can effectively strengthen persuasive communication in self-help literature. Keywords: Rhetorical strategies; imperatives; direct address; self-help discourse; persuasive language

Abstract

This study investigates students’ reflections on their silence and minimal participation in classroom discourse. The research aims to understand why students tend to stay silent or participate minimally during classroom interactions. Using a qualitative approach, the study involves university students as participants, with data collected through simple reflective interviews. The findings show that students’ silence is influenced by several factors, such as lack of confidence, fear of making mistakes, and limited language ability. Some students also report that classroom atmosphere and teaching style affect their willingness to speak. Through reflection, students become more aware of their passive behaviour and express a desire to participate more actively. Keywords: Student Silence, Student participation, Classroom Discourse, English Learning, Classroom Interaction.

Abstract

This study discusses communication patterns that appear in discussions about learning English on social media, especially on Twitter. Nowadays, social media is often used to share experiences, opinions, and find information, including topics related to learning English. In online discussions, users not only express their ideas but also interact with each other through comments and replies, creating communication patterns that are interesting to study. This research uses a qualitative approach with discourse analysis. The data were taken from three discussion threads focusing on learning English, such as difficulties in speaking, learning methods, and learning experiences from various media. The data were then analyzed to identify the communication patterns, how users start and respond to discussions, and how interactions develop in online conversations. The results show several common patterns, such as problem–solution, sharing experiences, and giving direct advice. Users usually start discussions by asking questions, sharing experiences, or expressing opinions, while the responses vary from suggestions and short opinions to personal experiences. Interactions develop through comment replies and the exchange of ideas, although they are usually brief and casual. This shows that social media can be a supportive space for learning English informally through everyday interactions.
