Abstract

This research aims at providing detailed explanation on how English brevet terms in Indonesian military are formed and reasons why those are classified as acronym and initialism. English brevet terms used in Indonesian military are difficult to understand due to their polysemic nature. The knowledge of internal structure of each term is important in order to ease the process of understanding the terms. Employing morphological approach and qualitative in nature, the research yields twenty English brevet terms in Indonesian military. The data are collected from websites of Indonesian military and selected based on their use in military domain. Those are classified and analyzed based on English phonotactic rules. This study reveals that ten are acronyms and ten are classified as initialisms and they mostly have the combination of Noun+Noun formation. This study highlights the importance of doing morphological research on military terms as many military terms to denote new concepts in military domain are not examined yet.

Abstract

The English language education curriculum tends to focus on technical language issues (skills) and educational aspects. In fact, language proficiency is acquired through practice, training, and habit. Educators must have cognitive, psychological, and sociological understanding. This is the problem: English language learning tends not to involve the humanities in its curriculum. This research aims to explore the factors that make the English Education curriculum less likely to include humanities disciplines while it has crucial impact to the quality of English teaching and learning. In methodology, the type of research is qualitative. The approach in this research is case study. The data collection technique in this research is Focus Group Discussion (FGD). The type of FGD used in data collection is Single Focus Group which supports an explorative space to support the provision of data in the analysis. There are three parts to conducting FGDs: pre-activity, activity, and post-activity. The research employs the thematic analysis technique. There are three main results can be drawn implicitly by the researcher from the perspective of the English Education lecturers: Theoretical-Based Orientation, Skillset Target, and Positivistic Ideology. Firstly, the English Education curriculum processes English language learning through theories. Secondly, the English Education curriculum focuses on the English language skillset. Thirdly, the English Education curriculum aims to produce English teachers who will teach English focusing on the learning process and the learners’ internal problems in the classroom, not the learners’ external problems.

Abstract

This research highlights the significance of collaborative teaching in addressing the diverse learning challenges faced by cadets, as statistical analysis indicates that team teaching strategies can significantly enhance English learning outcomes compared to traditional methods, thus supporting the educational rights of all students. The research aims to investigate the differences in academic performance between students taught using team-teaching strategies and traditional teaching methods in vocational aviation schools, employing a quantitative ex post facto comparative analysis to measure the impact of these teaching strategies on English learning outcomes, supported by statistical data from Polytechnic Penerbangan Surabaya and Polytechnic Penerbangan Medan. Our findings indicate a statistically significant difference in academic performance, with team teaching students achieving higher average scores (M = 85.4, SD = 3.2) compared to traditional teaching students (M = 78.6, SD = 4.1), p < 0.05. The collaborative nature of team teaching promotes professional development among educators, leading to improved instructional strategies and teaching quality. Educators are encouraged to adopt team teaching strategies to enhance student engagement and learning outcomes, as evidence demonstrates their effectiveness in fostering a more inclusive and supportive educational environment.

Abstract

This study seeks to determine the effectiveness of the Duolingo app as a gamification-based learning tool for teaching vocabulary in order to assist students in improving their English language skills. This study used a quasi-experimental design with a Nonequivalent Control Group Design, which splits the class into two groups: experimental and control. The data was collected by developing vocabulary questions for both pre- and post-tests. The statistical tool from SPSS version 22 was used to analyse the data. The study's findings demonstrate how effective the Duolingo program is in helping students improve their English vocabulary. The independent sample t-test resulted in a Sig. (2-tailed) value of 0.000, which is statistically significant and less than 0.05. Furthermore, the average pre-test score (69.44 before using the Duolingo app) and post-test score (85.83 after using the Duolingo app) increased. This shows that students who were taught using the Duolingo app had different vocabulary mastery outcomes than those who were taught using traditional techniques or without the app. The Duolingo software is significantly more effective in helping students improve their vocabulary. Following the adoption of the Duolingo program, the Language Center noticed an improvement in its pupils' vocabulary.

Abstract

Satire is a linguistic device that can be used as a way to ridicule or critique certain people or group of community. There had been numerous studies related of the use of satire in the world of politics, yet almost none of them addressed the nonpolitical aspect. The use of satire extends beyond political news, rather it has been starting to appear on certain social media posts on social media, including platforms like TikTok. This study sought on the way satire was utilized in some TikTok videos made by @supercoolben10 that were mostly talking about the life of upper class society. To add the novelty of this qualitative study, VVVA (Visual-Verbal Video Analysis) framework was utilized in analyzing the video. After a number of seven videos underwent the six processes of VVVA, it was found that both visual and verbal components take parts in constructing a good satire that could be used as a social critique. The findings in this study were presented into four sub-topics: 1) Satire as Social Critique on Economic Inequality, 2) The Role of Visual and Verbal Elements in Satire, 3) Effectiveness of VVVA for Analyzing Satire on TikTok, and 4) Broader Implications for Satire and Social Critique on Digital Platforms.

Abstract

This study examines the variation in children’s spoken language, with a particular focus on the use of swear words. It compares how swear words are defined and analyzed by Artificial Intelligence (Perplexity AI) and the electronic form of Kamus Besar Bahasa Indonesia (KBBI). The research adopts a sociolinguistic framework, drawing on Steven Pinker's (2005) theories of swearing, Anderson and Trudgill’s (1992) work on language variation, and Natural Language Processing (NLP) techniques. By integrating these approaches, the study aims to explore the variation and transformation of swear words among children. Data were collected through primary sources, including direct observations and voice recordings of children’s conversations. The analysis involved categorizing the swear words, identifying their functions, analyzing their use in context, and comparing their definitions in Perplexity AI and KBBI. The study found that the online KBBI struggles to keep up with the rapid development of swear words used by children, whereas Perplexity AI offers a more adaptive and accurate representation of these terms. Seventeen swear words were identified and categorized into four groups: humorous (6 words), expletive (5 words), auxiliary (3 words), and abusive swearing (3 words). These words performed 13 distinct functions in children’s conversations. The findings highlight the limitations of traditional dictionaries in capturing contemporary language, while also emphasizing the potential of AI tools in documenting and analyzing evolving linguistic trends. This study also finds the transformation of swear words based on cultural and social context.

Abstract

Illocutionary acts are a key category of speech acts, frequently analyzed in pragmatic studies to investigate the conveyed meaning of a speaker’s words. These acts are particularly intriguing because of their significant impact on the interpretation of utterances. This study aims to conduct an in-depth examination of the various classifications of illocutionary acts employed in spoken discourse, focusing on a speech delivered by a world leader. Specifically, the analysis draws on Vladimir Putin’s 2024 election victory speech, meticulously studied through qualitative analytical methods. The research employed Searle’s framework to categorize and interpret the speech’s illocutionary acts. The analysis identifies five distinct classifications: assertive (or representatives), commissive, expressive, directive, and declarative. The findings highlight a dominance of assertive/representatives with 20 instances, followed by expressive acts with 10 instances, commissive acts with 5 instances, and a single instance, each of directives and declaratives. This comprehensive analysis sheds light on the intricate linguistic strategies employed in the speech, demonstrating how illocutionary acts contribute to meaning-making and rhetorical effectiveness. The study offers insightful information about how these activities are applied in contemporary political discourse, enriching our understanding of the interplay between language, intent, and influence.
