Abstract

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.

Abstract

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.

Abstract

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.

The finding showed that the total of errors is 170 items   and  they indicated that the most  errors were   miss- selection  (52.3%) and followed by omission (44.1%), addition (2.3%) and miss-ordering (1.1%). Based on the results, it can be concluded that students still  have grammatical  difficulties in writing recount text. It is hoped it will be beneficial for the parties who involve in educational institution   such as English teachers, lectures, students, and other educational practitioners.  The writer suggests that the students need to learn more intensively about past tense in recount text, especially the change of verb form both in regular and irregular verbs, as well as the use of auxiliary verbs.

Abstract

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.
