Abstract

This study aims to examine the form and function of registers used in the Heart2Hearts Indonesia fanbase account on social media X by the K-pop fan community, especially the Hatchu (S2U) fandom. The research uses a qualitative approach with observation and documentation methods as data collection techniques. Data in the form of utterances containing registers were classified based on lingual forms (words, phrases, sentences, abbreviations, and acronyms) and analyzed based on the context of meaning and language function using Halliday's theory. The analysis shows that out of 72 lingual data, phrase is the most dominant form used, which is 43 data or 59.72%. Followed by words as much as 12 data (16.67%), sentences as much as 7 data (9.72%), and abbreviations and acronyms each as much as 5 data (6.94%). The dominance of phrases shows the community's tendency to use syntactic structures that are dense in meaning but do not form complete sentences. In terms of language function, of the 78 data analyzed, it was found that the personal function was the most dominant with 39.08%, followed by the representational function at 32.18%. The interactional function accounts for 10.34% and the regulative function for 5.75%. Meanwhile, instrumental and heuristic functions only account for 1.15% each. These results show that language use in fan communities tends to be used to express personal feelings and convey information, with social and directional functions as complements. Thus, it can be concluded that phrasal forms and personal functions characterize the communication patterns of K-pop fan communities on social media, reflecting the expressive, meaning-dense, and interactive characteristics of language.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of the role-playing community in English writing skills for its members. The research used in this study is in the form of qualitative methods with a descriptive approach. The instruments used are structured interviews and passive observation. Interviews were conducted with ten respondents and observations were made by five respondents who actively wrote in a private channel on Telegram. The results showed that the role-playing community had a positive impact on developing the English writing of its members, and fostered an increase in members' confidence in writing English. The challenges experienced by respondents are the lack of vocabulary and concerns about grammatical errors, but participants usually overcome them by using Grammarly or translator applications. Observations of five active members writing on their personal channels showed progress over time, for example in the cohesiveness, clarity, and grammatical accuracy of their writing over time. These findings show that role-playing communities can help people to develop their English writing because they have a good impact.

Abstract

This study investigates the internal barriers faced by university students when using English movies to improve their listening skills. Conducted at the University of Muhammadiyah Tangerang, this research used a qualitative descriptive method involving 24 first-semester students through classroom observation and interviews. The results identified four main barriers: difficulty understanding grammar, limited vocabulary, dependency on subtitles, and trouble recognizing accents. For instance, many students struggled to follow figurative language and idiomatic expressions such as “get your head out of the clouds.” Others reported confusion when characters spoke too quickly or with unfamiliar pronunciation. These challenges limited students’ ability to fully comprehend the dialogue, despite their interest in using movies as a learning tool. The findings indicate that watching movies alone is not enough to improve listening skills without structured support. Therefore, educators should handle these barriers by providing guided activities such as teaching key vocabulary before viewing, using pause-and-reflect techniques, and conducting post-viewing discussions. These steps can help turn passive watching into an active learning process and enhance listening comprehension at the university level.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze figurative language found in the novel "Once Upon a Broken Heart" by Stephanie Garber. The data were analyzed based on Perrine and Arp’s theory of figurative language (1992) and theory of meaning proposed by Leech (1981). This study employs a descriptive qualitative method to analyze the data. The analysis identifies 190 instances of figurative language; 103 instances of simile, 16 instances of metaphor, 23 instances of personification, 31 instances of hyperbole, 11 instances of synecdoche, and 7 instances of irony. The result indicate that simile is the most dominantly used figure of speech because it provides a direct comparison of something uncommon to something common so that the readers could easily understand and quickly visualize the image of what is being compared. The predominance of similes is relevant because it makes the emotional and fantasy aspects of the novel easier to convey, allowing readers to connect with the narrative on a deeper imaginative level.

Abstract

This research aims to determine whether there is a substantial relationship among the speaking ability of second-year students at the Public Islamic High School in Medan, assessed through an experimental and control group methodology. The present study's sample comprised 68 students from class XI Sains A 1 & XI Sains A 2. The data were collected through the implementation of two distinct evaluation tools: namely, a speaking test utilising the yoodli platform in class A1 and a test without the use of yoodli in class A2. The findings of this study indicated that second-year students at Public Islamic High School in Medan demonstrated higher academic performance in their classes that utilised the Yoodli system compared to those who did not employ it. The study's findings revealed a substantial improvement in the speaking proficiency of the institution in question. The coefficient correlation had a Rxy distribution of 0.306. This signifies a significant disparity between the two groups. It can therefore be concluded that the use of Yoodli significantly impacts the improvement of verbal proficiency.

Abstract

As more parents and educators see the value in raising bilingual children, bilingual schools are growing in popularity, offering dual-language instruction from an early age. In this situation children need a student readiness when they are mentally, physically and emotionally ready to learn. Therefore, student readiness is crucial. This study examines the role of parental involvement in the readiness of early bilingual students. Conducted in Doremi preschool Denpasar, Bali, the study used a qualitative method involving interviews and observations. This research involving six parents and their kindergarten children. The interviews were conducted based on six critical aspects outlined in Epstein’s parental involvement framework. Additionally, classroom behavior observations were made to evaluate the students from these representative parents. The findings reveal that parental involvement plays a significant role in early bilingual students’ readiness. High levels of parental involvement are associated with improved language acquisition, greater academic engagement, and smoother adaptation to the bilingual environment. Conversely, low levels of involvement often result in academic struggles and difficulties with language acquisition. To promote parental involvement, the study suggests strategies such as regular parent-teacher meetings and fostering a supportive home learning environment. These findings contribute to a better understanding of the impact of parental involvement in bilingual education and offer practical recommendations for schools and educators seeking to support early bilingual students more effectively

Abstract

This study is a discourse study which was conducted to find out the appraisal analysis through Attitudes from James Murray and W.C. Minor, the main character in The Professor and the Madman movie. The study examined the features of the three types of attitudes: affect, judgement and appreciation using Murray and Minor Minor’s utterances as the main data. The analysis focused on clauses, which were segmented from the characters’ utterances. These clauses were examined and interpreted using Halliday’s (1994) framework of interpersonal meaning within the Systemic Functional Grammar (SFG) approach. SFG views language as a resource of meaning making, and interpersonal meaning is one of the meanings of language which shows the role relationship between interlocutors. The analysis revealed that Murray employed more attitude resources of judgement, whereas Minor used more attitude resources of affect. The findings also revealed that each of the two characters presented the attitude types and polarity that shows their characteristics and the background issues underlining it. Finally, the findings indicate that the overall atmosphere of the per scenes in the movie was highly affected by the attitudinal exchanges between the characters and their respective background issues.
