Abstract

Presentation skills are essential to public speaking, which is part of English learning. Regarding its importance, the English presentation usually focuses on language production and general presentation skills. This can be ineffective since there are many aspects of presentation skills. To make it more efficient, a need analysis should be done to find out which skills learners still find difficult. Therefore, this study tries to find what presentation skills should be prioritized in English learning. To respond to the problem, a survey was conducted by distributing a questionnaire to 149 university students from the Informatics department. The result showed that the top 5 most difficult aspects are engaging the interest of the audience, speaking clearly/pronunciation, handling the audience questions, getting the timing right, and putting thoughts/ideas into speech. In terms of the skill dimension, verbal and nonverbal communication is considered the most difficult. This finding should be taken into account when designing English learning activities.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the implementation of Interactive Artificial Intelligence (AI) Voice in the Speech Shadowing method to improve English speaking skills in high school students. The main objectives of this study are to identify implementation strategies, challenges faced, and the effectiveness of using AI Voice in learning to speak English. The method used in this study is a qualitative approach with a multi-site case study type, which was carried out in two A-accredited private schools in Malang City. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation involving teachers and students as key informants. The data analysis technique used is the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldana, which allows researchers to categorize, organize, and draw conclusions from the data obtained. The results of the study indicate that the integration of AI Voice in the Speech Shadowing method can increase the interactivity of learning and provide direct feedback that accelerates students' mastery of speaking skills. The use of AI Voice allows students to practice with native speakers virtually, which is very effective in improving pronunciation, intonation, and fluency. However, the challenges faced in implementing this technology include limited device infrastructure, curriculum readiness, and student acceptance of new technology. However, overall, the integration of AI Voice has been shown to have a positive impact on improving students' speaking skills. Based on these findings, it is recommended that schools explore the use of technology in language learning in more depth, by providing training to teachers and ensuring the availability of adequate devices. Further research is also needed to examine the potential and challenges of implementing AI Voice in various educational contexts, in order to improve the quality of English learning at a broader level.

Abstract

The digital communication landscape has undergone a profound transformation, with social media platforms like TikTok emerging as critical sites for linguistic innovation. This research examines the intricate mechanisms of digital slang generation among Generation Z, exploring the complex interplay between technological architecture, user creativity, and sociocultural dynamics. Employing a qualitative content analysis approach, the study investigates linguistic practices within TikTok comment sections, focusing on slang formation mechanisms, algorithmic dissemination, and cultural identity functions. The research reveals sophisticated linguistic strategies including zeroidation, diphthongization, lexical shifts, and code-mixing, demonstrating how Gen Z actively reconstructs communication paradigms. The platform's algorithmic recommendation system facilitates unprecedented rapid language evolution, with slang terms transitioning from marginal usage to widespread adoption within hours. Digital slang serves multifaceted purposes: creating humor, signaling contemporaneity, facilitating social relations, and establishing intimate group identities. The study highlights the tension between linguistic innovation and preservation, suggesting that digital platforms are not passive mediums but active agents in linguistic transformation. By providing a nuanced sociolinguistic lens, the research contributes crucial insights into how digital technologies reshape communicative landscapes and generational identity construction in the 21st century. Keywords: Digital Slang, Gen Z, TikTok, Linguistic Innovation, Social Media Communication

Abstract

Abstract Advances in artificial intelligence (AI) technology have opened up new opportunities in various fields, one of which is journalism. In the rapidly developing digital era, the use of AI in the media production process, including news writing, is becoming increasingly relevant. This research aims to analyze the use of ChatGPT, an AI-based language model, in automating news text writing. This model is capable of processing and generating text automatically, which can speed up and simplify journalists' tasks in producing news content. The method used in this research is a case study with a qualitative descriptive approach to explore more deeply the role and contribution of ChatGPT in news writing. The research results show that ChatGPT can help increase speed and efficiency in the news writing process. This model can organize news structures systematically, provide editing suggestions, and produce text with a neater flow. However, there are several challenges that need to be considered, such as the accuracy of the information produced, potential algorithm bias, and limitations in understanding more complex contexts. ChatGPT, although advanced, still has limitations in dealing with issues that require in-depth reasoning or richer substantive interpretation. The implications of this research provide broader insight into the potential and limitations of using AI to support modern journalism practices, as well as opening further discussions regarding ethics and responsibility in the use of this technology. Apart from that, the results of this research can also be used in learning to write news in high school to improve students' skills in understanding effective journalistic structure and language.

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the use of metaphors in the conventional language employed by Indonesian food vloggers when describing food, claiming it as a form of linguistic creativity influenced by their cognitive capabilities. Creativity in language is a gift that humans inherently possess, enabling them to freely communicate, share information, and convey intentions. This premise is grounded in the claim that humans cognitively possess mental faculties allowing for unrestricted language production (Saeed, 2003). Traditionally, metaphors are understood as a literary style often used in poetry, novels, or drama. However, in reality, humans are inseparable from metaphors (Lakoff in Lakoff and Johnson, 2003). Cognitively, humans use metaphors to facilitate understanding by associating one term with another in language (Lakoff in Jackendoff and Aaron, 1991). The data source for this research comprises several videos from Indonesian food vloggers, including 4 videos each from Anak Kuliner, Boengkoes Network, Mamank Kuliner, and Nex Carlos. These vloggers are well-known in Indonesia with a substantial number of subscribers. The research employs a qualitative descriptive method, which allows for a comprehensive explanation of phenomena observed in the data. The analysis reveals that in describing food, food vloggers tend to use structural metaphors more frequently than other types of metaphors, with 26 occurrences recorded. This finding indicates that equating the domain of food taste with another domain structurally makes it easier to convey and understand abstract taste experiences through the shared experiences of vloggers and their audiences
