Publisher : Politeknik Negeri Bali

The Chinese language is very different from the Indonesian language. The writing and pronunciation of this language is quite complicated because this language uses the script called hànzì and the pronunciation is called pīnyīn. Pīnyīn is a Latin syllable which has tone in their syllable. Based on observations at the Dwijendra Vocational School in Denpasar, researchers still found many problems in Chinese learning activities. One of the problems lies in the teaching materials used. There is no handle teaching materials accordance the curriculum. The next problem lies in students' speaking skills. Therefore, the researchers tried to use a Chinese module that was made by themselves to improve students' speaking skills. Using Classroom Action Research (CAR) as the basis for research can be seen the influence of this Chinese module on the development of student learning achievement. Pre-Test Testing, Cycle 1 Test and Cycle 2 Test use the same test questions by testing 30 vocabulary words that are run orally by students. In the pre-test 21 students (95%) were ranked D and only 1 student (5%) was ranked C. The percentage of each indirect cycle increased until the final result of cycle 2 was 27% of students still ranked D, 50% of students rated C and 23% of students are rated B. This result is quite satisfying for researchers because Chinese language skills are quite difficult lessons for beginners especially those who have very little study time but they are must have a lot of pronunciation and vocabulary.

This study investigates the types and frequency of supportive moves in Yemeni Arabic as used by female speakers in the same gender and cross-gender. The respondents of the study were 336 undergraduate students from Sana’a University, aged 20-23. All of the participants are relatively homogeneous in terms of their cultural background. The data were collected by using Discourse Completion Test (DCT). The analysis of the data is based on Blum-Kulka et al’s (1989) CCSARP (Cross-Cultural Speech Act Realization Project) coding scheme. The results showed that Yemeni females showed greater use of external supportive moves when interacting with females more than to males. Regarding the use of external supportive moves according to the direct head act of requests and indirect head of requests, in general, female respondents in F-F, F-M interactions have a great tendency to employ external supportive moves with the direct and indirect head act of requests. It seems that the use of external supportive moves in Yemeni Arabic with the indirect head act of requests is obligatory to mitigate and soften requests and make it polite request. In other words, it was observed that female respondents convey polite requests by using external supportive moves regardless of directness or indirectness.

Publisher : Politeknik Negeri Bali

This study aims to describe President Jokowi's rhetorical strategies during the 2019 campaign on Instagram and its consistency with the rhetorical strategy as president. Rhetoric is not just a speech strategy, not a speech that tends to lie to manipulate or control people, and not talk much without action. Because of political competition, it can be concluded that the use of words and sentences (syntax) as rhetorical strategies also compete in building a positive image. Syntactic analysis was conducted to describe the categories of use of words and sentences as a rhetorical strategy to build a positive image. The method used was content analysis of 508 Instagram posts during the campaign period. Social media is a new innovation in spreading messages of rhetoric in the form of words and sentences more quickly and easily accessing them. The interview method was also conducted on President Jokowi's communication team to find out how these rhetorical strategies were carried out in order to proof the consistency between rhetorical strategies during campaigns and rhetorical strategies as a President. The results of this study confirm that not all rhetorical strategies are used, but, only the use of positive rhetorics to build positive image. Syntactic analysis shows that Jokowi-Amin does not use negative words and sentences. Not all rhetorical strategies for building imagery are displayed on Instagram, namely @ jokowi.amin does not use intimidation and self-depreciation strategies. The interviews also display that the rhetoric strategies during campains are consistent with the president’s strategies.
