<![CDATA[Religious values are needed in textbooks and learning process, such as in English Language Teaching (henceforth ELT) for both the student and teachers to support character education as suggested by the government of Indonesia. Indonesian people have more than one believes or religion and the most dominant one is Islam. This is important because Islamic characters can be an alternative media for students and teachers in the teaching and learning processes. There were three grades of English textbooks chosen in this investigation. The results showed that there are three aspects of religious values: ritual, social and material and the majority found in the textbooks was material aspect. In addition, there are two ways how Islamic characters are represented in the textbooks: visual and non-visual. The second result showed that the dominant value aspect is visual. This implies that English textbooks used by senior high school do not focus on ritual, social and non-visual aspects in developing English textbooks.]]>

<![CDATA[Language is crucially important in human life. To be part of a community, language is most likely the easiest medium for humans to communicate with one another quickly and functionally. English is the medium of choice for 60% of the world's literacy. It is not an exaggeration to say that once a person has mastered English, he will have access to the entire world. When teaching students to communicate, the teacher should be able to entice them to practice speaking spontaneously. To encourage students to express themselves spontaneously, this study used Information Gap functions. The objectives of this research are to determine and describe whether using Information Gap activities has a significant impact on the students' speaking ability in the first semester of tenth grade at SMA X Lampung in 2022/2023. In this research, the experimental approach has been used, with 2 classifications chosen at random. One class served as the control group, while the other served as the experiment group. T-test was used to compare both classes when analyzing the data. The results of this research indicate that students who were taught using Information Gaps activities performed better in speaking than those who were taught using traditional techniques. It also implies that participating in Information Gap practices has a major impact on students' speaking ability at SMA X Lampung in the first semester of the tenth class in 2022/2023.]]>

<![CDATA[The paper aims to investigate the kinds of metaphors found in the book Penyambung Lidah Rakyat Indonesia: An Autobiography of Soekarno, which is written based on the interview with Soekarno, the first president of Indonesia who pronounced proclamation of Indonesian independence. The identified metaphors are focused on the ones related to the concepts of leader and people. The categorizations are based on Lakoff and Johnson (2003) distinction of conceptual metaphor: structural, orientational, and ontological. The approach used in this study is qualitative. There are 28 data of metaphors related to the concepts of leader and people found in the autobiography book of Soekarno. Based on the analysis, it shows that the concepts of leader and people which are embodied in the metaphors are that leader is the backbone of a family; he/she is born from and raised by people, which inevitably belong to his people (as their property or what people belong to), and as the leader grows up, the offspring roles becomes more significant as the ear, mouth, and the extension of people’s tongue to the utmost. As much important as the leader is, people are also perceived as the nutrition and motor to make the leader alive and keep surviving. ]]>

<![CDATA[Formula-E, which was successfully held in Jakarta, Indonesia, gave rise to various reports. This linguistics study aims to analyze the purpose of online media coverage about 'dukungan pemerintah' on the Formula-E event, which took place on Saturday, 4 June 2022. The data were taken from online media portals Bisnis.com, CNN, Detik, Kompas, Pikiran Rakyat, and Tribunnews. There are 108 articles analyzed in this study. The articles were scrapped from the same day when the Formula E was held. The data that are sentences from the articles were analyzed using a corpus approach to find words 'dukungan’ (support) and 'pemerintah' (government) using concordances. The data discussed using Van Dijk's critical discourse analysis theory to reveal its meaning. The results found that the macrostructure is government support for the 2022 Formula-E. Then the superstructure of the six media uses a framework that matches the title and content. In the microstructure, 'dukungan' and 'pemerintah' concordances were found. Analysis of social cognition found that online media portals show partiality. The media that is most likely to support the government is CNN. It can be seen from the chosen language, which tends to provide evidence that the central government has supported this event. Meanwhile, the media that seemed to criticize the government's support was Tribunnews by presenting the figure of Joko Suranto as one of the Indonesian citizens who sponsored this event rather than central government. The social context to be achieved is that online media tend to show their side with the government by not choosing words that discredit the government.]]>

<![CDATA[Impoliteness is a social phenomenon practically used to threaten someone’s face and an act of raising a conflict in the interaction. However, impoliteness is unable to reveal under politeness theory since it focuses on the constraint of verbal interaction used to save someone’s face (Mohammed & Abbas, 2015, 2016). Therefore, Culpeper (2016) suggests an impoliteness strategy to emphasize some communicative strategies used to damage the hearer’s face. One of the controversial events occurred in a presidential debate between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton in 2016. This study explored the impoliteness strategy used by the candidates in quantitative and qualitative. This study highlighted the use of positive impoliteness as a defensive communicative strategy and negative impoliteness as an attacking communicative strategy that occurred U.S. Presidential Debate between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton.]]>

<![CDATA[The purpose of this study was to determine (1) the difficulties students faced in Section 2 of the TOEFL Prediction Test and (2) the reason why they consider those topics were difficult. A mixed method design was used in this study. A total of 30 students from different majors at Pamulang University were the test sample to determine difficulties faced by the students. Semi-structured interviews with the five low-performing participants who recorded the most errors on the test to explore the reasons. Results indicated reduced clause (20%) was the most difficult questions to students, followed by subject-verb agreement (13%), parallel structures (13%), comparisons (13%), pronouns (9%), and coordinating conjunctions (9%). It was also found Part B to be more difficult than Part A because it was harder to spot the mistakes in a sentence than it was to complete the sentence from multiple choices. Additionally, the results also revealed that reasons affecting the difficulties in answering the topics namely lack of knowledge and preparation, time management, and lack of vocabularies. Therefore, TOEFL teachers and trainers are strongly encouraged to pay more attention to the six topic study exercises with the highest error percentage, and to train students with various exercises in order to get used to the actual test.]]>
