Abstract

This paper looked into the language used in the advertisement of anti-aging cream based on a discursive psychology approach. The language used in the advertisement mainly raises the women's interest, especially when they hear the word "anti-aging" to resist aging skin, although the old may not be manipulated. This discursive research psychology is the approach used to give an understanding of the discourse phenomenon to show the contribution of creating women's social activity for their lifestyle. The language used in the online advertising course was the research data in this research. The data collection is based on the language used in online advertising discourse based on five kinds of cosmetics advertisement and 12 carrier women with 30-45 years old who lived in Jakarta. The qualitative descriptive is used to explain the phenomenon and social phenomena related to advertisement discourse and women's needs; then, the data were analyzed based on the interview. This research finding shows that, firstly, the advertisement's implicit meaning encourages and drives customers' psychology to try cosmetics. Secondly, the advertisement language's explicit meaning is propagated and seems exaggerated. Thirdly, the advertisement language encourages customers to buy the product due to the social relation and lifestyle.

Abstract

This research aims at investigating and finding out whether storigami is effective in teaching English vocabulary for vocational higher students. Based on the researchers’ observation, most of the students have lack of vocabulary though in mastering English vocabulary is an essential thing that should be known and mastered, especially for vocational higher students who will directly face the working situation. This problem happened because, in their perspective, understanding vocabulary only can be reached through translation and memorization. The subject of this research was taken two classes purposively named control class and experimental class. The samples were taken by determining specific characteristics of students during the learning process. The experiment class applied Storigami as the treatment, while the control class applied the Grammar Translation Method (GTM). Before applying the treatment, a pre-test was conducted for both classes with the same questions. Then, after the treatment, a post-test was conducted for both classes. After collecting and analyzing the data, the researchers found that teaching vocabulary by Storigami is more effective than GTM. The finding showed that T0 :2.639 > T.Tabel: 2.01 means the null hypothesis is rejected and the experiment hypothesis is accepted, or there is any significance between X and Y variables. Furthermore, the mean score of the post-test in the experiment class is higher than the mean score in the control class. It happened because teaching vocabulary by using Storigami is more fascinating for students, and origami can be applied to building students’ English vocabulary and students’ creative thinking.

Abstract

The study aimed to investigate the notable impact of the Directed Reading Thinking Activity (DRTA) approach on the students' reading comprehension. The study was carried out at MAN 2, Palembang. The present study employed a quasi-experimental design utilizing quantitative research methodology. The researchers employed the convenience sampling method to gather data. The data were obtained via a reading comprehension test administered to students in the two classes, experimental and control. The study's findings examining the impact of implementing DRTA before and after utilizing a paired sample t-test indicate that the calculated T value of 27.797 exceeds the t-table value of 3.030. Thus, implementing the DRTA approach enhanced the students' reading comprehension in the experimental group. An independent sample t-test was conducted to examine the outcomes of the disparity between individuals who utilized the Directed Reading-Thinking Activity (DRTA) and those who did not. The findings showed that notable disparities in reading comprehension existed among students who received instruction via DRTA and those who did not. The DRTA technique offers advantageous outcomes for students as it fosters active and critical reading practices. Students enrolled in reading courses that engage in prediction and active reading demonstrates a proactive approach to learning, effectively harnessing their cognitive abilities to acquire knowledge on unfamiliar subjects. Furthermore, DRTA mandates that students maintain a record of their understanding of the text while reading.

Abstract

Mastery of English in the era of digital-based communication and technological advances is very important for students at Madrasah Aliyah of Darussalam Islamic Boarding School, Kepahiang, Bengkulu. Unfortunately, the students are used to memorizing grammar structures (Nahwu and Shorof) when learning Arabic, and when learning English, especially in reading skills, they are more likely to memorize and prioritize grammar than the flexibility to explore language and convey it into spoken and written language. Then, the teaching materials used by the English teacher as learning media in English subjects, especially in reading competence, tend to focus more on and burden students with grammatical patterns and do not develop students' skills in reading based on experience, the context of life, or their needs in communicating. This study aimed to assist in the implementation of the results of the development of English reading materials with Islamic materials and values for students at Islamic boarding schools based on Communicative Language Teaching to reduce the problems faced by students in learning English reading.

Abstract

Students’ anxiety can impact the learning process. Anxiety causes students to overthink and focus on the negative, such as the fear of failing, getting lost in thought about a topic, or being laughed at or ashamed by others because of a mistake. Feeling anxious makes students not know what to say while they speak in front of the class. They forget all of the words they already know, which causes them to become stuck in the middle of the presentation, and, as a result, the presentation will not run smoothly. Students will be frustrated, ashamed, hopeless, and defeated as a result of this situation. Additionally, the students are unable to achieve the anticipated learning goal. If anxiety always occurs when learning a foreign language, especially in English presentation classes, it will certainly be a very serious problem for students. As a result, it is critical to investigate, and the goal of this study is to: (1) learn about the anxiety levels experienced by postgraduate students of the English Education study program in Bengkulu. (2) reveal what factors significantly influence students' anxiety level in class presentations, and (3) reveal the methods that first-semester students of Bengkulu University's postgraduate program in English education use to reduce their anxiety. The subjects of this research were the 21 students of the first semester of the postgraduate English program at Bengkulu University, and to fulfill these research objectives, the descriptive qualitative research design was utilized in this study. In this study, the researchers collected data using instruments such as a questionnaire and an interview. After conducting the research, the results revealed that most students are at an "anxious" level, and the researchers found that there are three main factors that significantly influence their anxiety. They are communication apprehension, test anxiety, and fear of evaluation, and in order to overcome their anxiety, students have their own ways, such as being well prepared and practicing as much as possible, not overthinking, holding something, doing physical movements, and relaxing
