The Ways of Testing the Quality of Inter-Lingual Translation For The Language Leaners Barus, Efendi Susi Ekalestari Keywords: Ways of testing, translation, quality L1, L2. Translation is one of the main aspects in understanding and learning second language. In https://www.gala-global.org said: translation is the communication of meaning from one language (the source) to another language (the target).It is often said as unimportant thing in learning second language or considered as secondary skill. Actually, translation must be supposed as the primary skill for the second language. They must know the meanings of the words or the sentences as a whole. The method of research is on the basis of library research and technical activities done by the undergraduate students. The technique of approach is done in two ways: 1. An approach to the lexical items, 2. An Approach to the Oral and Written Translation. The result of this research is that when one translates text from language A into language B, a different translator then turns the B text back into A, and the resulting A text is compared  with the original A text . If the test is virtually identical, it is strong evidence that the original translation was of high quality. Inter-lingual translation should be a basic skill for mastering L2.

EDUCATION TRANSFORMATION IN THE DIGITALIZATION AGE AS THE FUTURE OF THE NATION Sitepu, Edward Sembiring, Milisi Kia, A Dan Sostenis Nggebu education, technology, welfare, nation, learning and teaching Technology-based education is expected to be able to improve the quality of education and also in the long term improve the welfare of a nation. The case study approach in several countries and using the results of existing studies in those countries shows a significant influence on digital technology-based learning and teaching. This was emphasized by UNDP regarding the importance of using technology in learning. Studies in England, Turkey and in Asean countries and specifically in Indonesia show that improving the welfare of the nation is possible because more advanced education and the use of learning technology are able to shape students' thinking, learning attitudes and of course their independence in the future. This is certainly encouraging in the midst of the Government's spirit to promote education with an independent learning corps as a complementary to education for all.

THE LANGUAGE INSTINCT (Steven Pinker vs Noam Chomsky) Sihombing, Nur Cahaya Language is a communication tool used in daily interaction. Language used to convey meaning to someone with easy word order understandable. Therefore, in order to convey the meaning clearly, use of the correct language is very important. This paper examines Steve Pinker’s arguments for the existence of a language instinct encoded in the genes of human beings as an explanation for the human language capacity. The analysis covers Pinker’s own arguments as well as those by Chomsky and by other authors in the 1990s. Argumen of Steven Pinker language is first  and foremost a product of our biological make-up as a species. Pinker does not mean to deny the influence of culture on language, but means that language grows out of the "predisposition" or biological readiness of every normal human being. Human infants have a natural gift for quickly absorbing and then using the structures of spoken language used by others around them. According to Chomsky, children are born with the tools of acquisition Language. " language acquisition device (LAD). This tool is a biological gift that has been programmed to detail the possible items of a grammar. LAD is considered to be a specialized physiological part of the brain to process language. So it can be seen that experts have given the same theory and opinion regarding the way of language development and acquisition, which is related to the language instinct that has existed since in the womb.

The Role in SLA played by Universal Grammar Silitonga, Maria Elizabet One important issue in current language acquisition research is whether the acquisition of a second language is fundamentally different from that of the first language. Researchers approaching second language acquisition (SLA) from the linguistic perspective often relate this issue to the availability of Universal Grammar to second language acquisition. The main focus of this paper is to examine the role of Universal Grammar in the second language acquisition and to what extent it plays in the process. To illustrate this, the four access hypotheses or theories were given.

The Critical Period Hypothesis of SLA Eric Lenneberg's Siahaan, Friska In second language acquisition, The Critical Period Hypothesis (CPH) holds that there is a critical time period for a person to learn a new language with native proficiency.  This time usually begins around the age of two and ends just before puberty. According to the hypothesis, learning a new language after this critical period will be more difficult and unsuccessful. The crucial phase is the stage of a person's development when their nervous system is primed and sensitive to environmental stimuli, according to developmental psychology. If a person does not receive the appropriate environmental stimuli during this time, their capacity to learn new skills will deteriorate, compromising a variety of adult social functions. If a child does not learn a language during this vital era, they are unlikely to achieve native fluency in their first language. Because of the adaptability of the brain, a person is poised to learn new abilities throughout the critical period. Synapses, or brain connections, are extremely receptive to information. Some researchers refer to the'sensitive period' or 'weak critical period' as a synonym for the critical period. The sensitive phase is comparable to the critical period in that it is characterized by a high level of neuroplasticity and rapid formation of new synapses in the brain. The key distinction is that the sensitive phase is thought to endure longer than puberty, but there are no hard bounds.

Theory Of Cognitive Development By Jean Piaget Pakpahan, Farida Hanum Saragih, Marice Although many core themes and concepts unite the field of cognitive development, it is a wide and varied field, particularly when it comes to cognitive development in early. Piaget proposed four cognitive developmental stages for children, including sensorimotor, preoperational, concrete operational, and the formal operational stage. Although Piaget’s theories have had a great impact on developmental psychology, his notions have not been fully accepted without critique. Piaget’s theory has some shortcomings, including overestimating the ability of adolescence and underestimating infant’s capacity. Piaget also neglected cultural and social interaction factors in the development of children’s cognition and thinking ability. Cognitive development occurs at several stages during childhood. As a result, cognitive development studies the nature of child development in terms of how they gain conscious control over their intellect and behavior. Piaget contributions, particularly in regards to the process of education among children and transferring cognition into psychology, have had a significant effect on the science of child development.

SECOND LANGUAGE ACQUISITION: RECONCILING THEORIES Pangaribuan, Darman Tampubolon, Jonris This article makes the case that earlier explanations of SLA shouldn't be discounted. Instead, when combined, they offer a more comprehensive and in-depth understanding of the acquisition process. The ability of second language acquisition (SLA) to naturally adjust to various situations present in both internal and external settings provides evidence in favor of the assertion that SLA is a sophisticated adaptive system. On the basis of this comprehension, frequently debated second language theories, such as behaviorism, will be viewed as explanations for individual components of SLA. Excerpts from a few English language learning histories are given as examples of how students explain their learning processes in order to support this idea. The last assertion is that SLA should be seen as a chaotic/complex system.

Difficulties encountered by Francophone Teachers in the teaching of English Language in Cameroon Primary Schools Atabong Nee Alemanjoh Maria Nkea Edi Suprayetno Missi Tri Astuti Abstract This study aims at earmarking some related issues regarding the teaching of English language to francophone pupils by francophone teachers. As regard the theoretical framework, the connectionism, acculturation and teaching-learning theories was used.  The methodology in this study is the quantitative and qualitative approach and the random sampling technique is used in the selection of the population under study.  The research instruments that are used are the interview and observation.  The instruments were administered taking into consideration the pronunciation of sounds (phonology) pluralisation of nouns, sentence construction, the use of articles and tenses (morpho-syntax).  A total of 73 teachers from six primary schools were interviewed and observed.  The frequency distribution technique is used for analyzing data. Analyzing the data collected proves that the francophone teachers have difficulties in pronouncing some sounds in the English language.  The teachers equally have difficulties in putting some nouns in their plural forms, constructing of sentences and correct use of articles and tenses. From the findings, the researcher made some recommendations.  That a solid foundation should be laid during the initial training on the teaching of the English language. Secondly, in-service training should be encouraged for  teachers already in the field. The researcher also suggested that Pedagogic Inspectors in charge of bilingualism should organize regular pedagogic seminar on English language for the francophone teachers.   Keywords: Difficulties, ELT, Francophone Teachers     English Lecturers and Teachers Association (ELTA) 2022-07-28 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Peer-reviewed Article application/pdf https://journal.eltaorganization.org/index.php/joal/article/view/89 10.52622/joal.v2i2.89 Journal of Applied Linguistics ; Vol. 2 No. 1 (2022): July, 2022; 30 - 39 2809-1922 2809-1914 10.52622/joal.v2i2 eng https://journal.eltaorganization.org/index.php/joal/article/view/89/92 Copyright (c) 2022 Journal of Applied Linguistics https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/

The Grammatical Interference of Indonesian Students in Learning English Darwis, Aswinda Grammatical Interference; Indonesian; English Learning Interference is one of many factors that can damage a language system. It frequently happens in langauge learning process. The interference happened due to the tendency to adapt the feature of one language to another without considering the similarities and differences between the languages. Language interference can take part either in phonological, lexical, or grammatical aspects. The current paper aims to reveal the most frequent grammatical interference made by the students in learning English. To get broader insight, the library research is carried out. It relies on other articles under the same concers of students’ grammatical interference in learning English as the main objective. Six researches were taken to be referred as the primary sources which were published within the last 5 years. The results of each study were explored to get more comprehension for the inquiries of this paper. Based on the analysis, the results showed that the students’ grammatical interference in learning English were made in the form of morphological and syntactical structure. The most frequent syntactical interference deals with word order. While the morphological interference was dominated by the use of tense, be form, subject-verb agreement, singular and plural form.

A Comparative Analysis of "Jawab e Shikwa": A Vinay and Darbelnet Model-based Examination of Two English Translations Edi Suprayetno Malik Umer Ajmal Marina Khan This research explored the translation of the Urdu poem "Jawab-e-Shikwa" by Muhammad Iqbal into English, focusing on two versions by Altaf Hussain and Frances W. Pritchett. The study employed the Vinay and Darbelnet model to analyze translation strategies such as equivalence, modulation, and oblique translation. The analysis revealed differences in linguistic accuracy, cultural relevance, and literary style between the two translations. Through a qualitative and quantitative approach, the study aimed to provide a comprehensive understanding of the impact of translation on the interpretation of "Jawab-e-Shikwa" in both Urdu and English-speaking contexts. From the Result of the analysis it was found that Hussain employed an oblique translation approach with techniques such as equivalence and modulation, capturing the essence of the original poem with a sense-for-sense translation. Pritchett, on the other hand, adopted a direct translation strategy, offering a word-for-word rendition that maintains clarity but may lack the nuanced impact of the Urdu original. Both translations effectively conveyed the overall meaning of the poem, Hussain's version demonstrated a greater adherence to the cultural and literary nuances of the original Urdu, providing a more intricate and contextually rich interpretation. Pritchett's literal approach, while clear and accurate, may compromise the poetic and cultural depth inherent in Iqbal's work.

Depiction of Women as Unfair Creatures in John Donne’s “Go and Catch a Falling Star”: Utilizing Norman Fairclough’s Model as a Research Tool in the Critical Discourse Analysis Malik Umer Ajmal Tayyaba Zainab This research paper aims to study Norman Fairclough's three-dimensional model for a critical discourse analysis of John Donne's poem "Go and Catch a Falling Star." Rooted in Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) and building upon Fairclough's critique of Critical Linguistics, the study explores the hidden ideologies and societal attitudes embedded in the text. The poem, published in 1633, presents a satirical examination of women's perceived infidelity, and Fairclough's model serves as a tool to unravel the complexities of its linguistic features, discursive practices, and socio-cultural implications. The analysis reveals anti-feministic undertones within the broader context, where societal norms and power dynamics played a crucial role in shaping discourse. By examining the poem through the three dimensions of Fairclough's model—text, discursive practice, and sociocultural practice—the research contributes to a deep understanding of how language choices perpetuate certain perceptions of women and contribute to broader societal narratives during this historical period.

Analysis of Allama Iqbal’s Poetry “Kabhi Ae Haqeeqat E Muntazir” Under The Light of Eugene Nida’s Linguistic Model Zahra, Khushbakht This study examined Allama Iqbal’s poem “Kabhi Ae Haqeeqat-e-Muntazir” through Eugene Nida’s dynamic equivalence model, evaluating Dr. Mustansir Mir’s English translation against the original Urdu text. The analysis revealed a nuanced interplay between literal meaning and metaphorical expression, highlighting challenges in conveying cultural nuances. The Findings indicated that Mir’s translation adeptly preserves the essence of Iqbal’s profound themes—encompassing the quest for truth, the transcendent power of music, the soul’s significance, sacrifice, peace, and sincerity in prayer. By navigating linguistic complexities and cultural barriers, the translation succeeds in ensuring accessibility and cultural resonance for a wider audience, affirming Nida’s principles in maintaining fidelity to the original while adapting it to a different linguistic and cultural milieu.

Pre-Service Teachers’ Practices on Developing and Using Learning Devices During Practicum Antoni, Rivi Mustafa, Jamilah Teacher training, Pedagogic, Learning devices & Pre service teacher Pre-service teachers’ practices of teaching and teacher training programs become an endless discussion among scholars and school communities in Indonesia. In EFL teacher training programs of university of Pasir Pengaraian, trainees are assigned to go for a teaching practicum in schools where they can experience the real classroom atmosphere. However, though trainees have prepared with English proficiency and pedagogic, they still find it difficult to practice. Thus, it is essential to explore further phenomena that might enlighten the programs in their endeavor to produce competent teachers especially on developing and using the learning devices. For this purpose, the researchers observed and interviewed twelve trainees from university Pasir Pengaraian who were on their practicum. This qualitative case study used rubrics from an observation instrument designed by the teacher’s association of Indonesia. The data were analysed on indicators of pedagogic competences. The results show that although pre-service teachers were prepared for the practicum, they find different practices in developing the learning devices and their uses by teacher training programme and school teachers. This finding has impacts on teacher preparation where the university needs to organize the programme to meet the needs of pre-service teachers and the current policies on school curriculum, and to collaborate closely with stakeholder to ensure both parties are involved.

The Language of detection: A study of forensic and linguistic analysis in "Holmes" and "Dupin" stories Hani, Hadiya Ahmed Neneng Sri Lestari This study explored the applications of forensic linguistics concerning two of Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes stories, and the detailed linguistic analysis of Edgar Allan Poe’s ‘The Murders in the Rue Morgue.’ The key to the analysis of the two Sherlock Holmes stories involved the examination of how language was used to construct narratives of crimes and detection, the areas of discourse, narrative structure, and character development. The linguistic analysis of  Poe’s text involves discourse analysis, and pragmatic, and forensic linguistics revealing how language builds up mystery, tension, and resolutions as well as how character’s speech signals their aspirations and interactions. Additionally, it was shown not only how to engage the formalist principles in the interpretation of those texts directly connected with this movement but also, how linguistic methodology can be useful in the analysis of other works and in general, in the literary investigation. The study also highlighted the canonical significance and diversity of cases in the selected stories, demonstrating the varied methods through which language shapes the detective genre. By integrating secondary literature and employing rigorous analytical methods, the research contributes to a deeper understanding of forensic linguistics and its applications in both literary and legal contexts. The findings underscored the importance of linguistic analysis in enhancing the narrative structure and aiding in the detection of crime within detective fiction.

Embodying Emotion: Ontological Metaphors in Frances Hodgson Burnett`s Novel: The Secret Garden Siti Nurhaliza Hanafi Wibowo This research examined how to analyze metaphors in the novel The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett. Using Lakoff and Johnson's conceptual metaphor theory, the study examined 50 metaphors to explain how nature-based imagery converts abstract emotional notions into real sensations. The findings showed that ontological metaphors, which account for 60% of the investigated data, successfully represent emotions like hope, despair, and joy. Structural and orientational metaphors help to depict personal growth and cognitive-emotional interaction. This study emphasized the instructional usefulness of metaphors in children's reading, indicating their ability to improve emotional literacy and cognitive understanding. By bridging the gap between natural imagery and abstract emotional states, The Secret Garden is an effective narrative tool for readers to develop emotional resilience and personal growth.

Measuring The First-Year Students’ Ability of English Study Program on English Grammar in Academic Year 2023/2024 Lumban Raja, Viator Pangaribuan, Jontra Jusat Naibaho, Lisna This study investigated the grammar proficiency of first-year students enrolled in the English Study Program during the 2023/2024 academic year. A quantitative descriptive approach with a post-test-only design was employed, involving 22 participants. Data were collected through a standardized 30-item multiple-choice test that assessed 17 key grammar topics, including tenses, passive voice, conditionals, and relative pronouns. The results indicated that students achieved a mean score of 45.14, categorized as "poor" according to the university's academic guidebook. None of the participants reached the "good" category threshold of 71, with scores ranging from 20 to 69. Topic-specific analysis revealed inconsistencies in performance, with only six test items correctly answered by 72% of students. The most challenging topics identified were causative verbs, conditionals, and gerunds, which require higher-order thinking skills, such as understanding sentence structure and contextual usage. Further analysis showed that students from state schools outperformed their peers from private schools, with mean scores of 52.8 and 38.75, respectively, although neither group met the threshold for "good" proficiency. These findings suggest significant gaps in students’ grammar knowledge, particularly in complex topics, and raise concerns about the effectiveness of current teaching methods.

Analyzing Students’ Challenges in Acquiring English as Second Language: A Case Study of English Education Students Siahaan, Junita Sitorus, Maryanti Lucciana English is a highly essential skill for communication in the era of globalization. However, English as a foreign language in Indonesia makes it challenging for students to understand. This difficulty is particularly evident among students in English Education Department at one private university in Medan. This study aimed to analyze the multifaceted challenges faced by students of English Education Department in acquiring English as a second language. This study employed descriptive qualitative method and case study as research design. 44 students of English Education Department were taken as the sample. The instruments used to collect the data were questionnaire and interview. The results showed that there are some challenges faced by the students which are categorized into two: linguistic challenges and non-linguistic challenges.  In linguistic challenges, there are four types of challenges: grammar, vocabulary, speaking/pronunciation, linguistic differences. For non-linguistic challenges, the challenges are lack of practice, lack of confidence/language anxiety, environment factor, learning process/learning method and lack of motivation. To overcome the challenges, some strategies are proposed for both categories of challenges. For overcoming the linguistic challenges, the strategies that can be used are: a) using assistive technology, b) note-taking and repetition, and c) looking up words or phrases in a dictionary. For non-linguistic challenges, the strategies are: a) create daily opportunities for practicing English, b) establish a supportive environment, c) build your confidence through regular practice and seek constructive feedback, d) adopt more effective learning strategies, and e) discover personal reasons for learning English to boost your motivation.

Satirical Analysis of Political Commentary in Kaesang Pangarep’s Podcast Mutiara Alda Lekson Fila Alfia Arella Chaterina Manalu Afrahul Fadhillah Parinduri Nico Sahpudan Simorangkir Dian Marisha Putri The rapid development of digital communication has transformed political discourse, with platforms like YouTube becoming significant arenas for satirical commentary. This study focuses on analyzing the use of satire in Kaesang Pangarep’s podcast episode Inilah Kelebihan Pelawak Kalau Masuk Politik, which garnered over 5.1 million views. The research investigates how satire is categorized based on Holbert’s framework and explores the political and social issues critiqued through satirical elements. Holbert’s framework classifies satire into three types: Horatian (light and humorous critique), Juvenalian (sharp and scathing criticism), and Menippean (broad, philosophical critique of societal attitudes). Employing qualitative content analysis, this study transcribes the podcast to identify and analyze satirical elements, focusing on both explicit statements and underlying cultural nuances. The findings indicate that Horatian satire humorously critiques political party-switching, Juvenalian satire sharply condemns political monetization, and Menippean satire examines societal attitudes toward celebrity involvement in politics. These satirical critiques serve three primary functions: exposing political opportunism, highlighting social inequalities, and engaging audiences through humor while fostering political awareness. The study concludes that satire in digital platforms like YouTube bridges entertainment and political critique, encouraging public reflection on socio-political issues in Indonesia. The high viewership of the podcast emphasizes the effectiveness of digital satire in engaging audiences and reshaping political discourse. Future research could explore the influence of such content on public perception and voter behavior, particularly in the evolving landscape of digital media.

A Corpus Stylistic Analysis of The Tell-Tale Heart by Edgar Allan Poe Wasif Hussain This paper explores how Edgar Allan Poe's "The Tell-Tale Heart" creates an atmosphere of psychological tension and guilt through language. Using linguistic analysis tools, the study investigated how the text's language reflected the narrator's psychological state, contributing to themes of tension and madness. Two key questions guide the analysis: how Poe's language establishes tension and guilt and how his linguistic choices portray the narrator's descent into madness. By examining word patterns, relationships between words, and word usage frequencies, the study highlights how specific language features contributed to the story's psychological and thematic depth. This research demonstrated the value of linguistic analysis in understanding both the poetics and psychological aspects of literary texts.

An Acoustic Analysis of consonants of Khattak Dialect of Pashto Rehmat, Javeria Pashto, an ancient language written in Perso-Arabic script, is predominantly spoken in Pakistan's Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province and Afghanistan. Despite its wide usage, more research is needed on the consonantal sounds of the Khattak dialect. This study aims to fill this gap by providing a detailed acoustic analysis of the Khattak dialect's consonants. An inventory of 28 consonant phonemes was developed using the standard Pashto IPA chart and the Yusufzai dialect chart. Minimal pairs were created and recorded using an Android phone and an iPhone, involving two native speakers, one male and one female, both BS students. The recordings were converted into .wav files, and acoustic analysis was performed using PRAAT software, focusing on formants and waveforms. The findings offer comprehensive insights into the phonetic characteristics of the Khattak dialect, contributing to a broader understanding of Pashto phonology and addressing a significant gap in the literature on Pashto dialectology. This research not only provides a foundational inventory for future studies but also enhances the comparative linguistic analysis of Pashto dialects. It underscores the unique phonetic features of the Khattak dialect, facilitating its preservation and further linguistic exploration. The study's methodology, involving high-quality recordings and native speakers, ensures the reliability and authenticity of the data, providing a valuable reference for linguistic research and applications in speech technology.

FTA Strategy of Gaga Muhammad Post-Scandal: Image Recovery on Grace Tahir’s Podcast Naifa Naila, Aisya Putri, Arina Ulfa, Maryam Fransisca, Amanda Rangkuti, Rahmadsyah Irwan This research explored the politeness strategies employed by Indonesian YouTube vloggers in response videos, focusing on a podcast discussion between Gaga Muhammad and Grace Thahir. Using a qualitative research design with a phenomenological approach, this study examines the interpersonal dynamics and the impact of face-threatening acts (FTAs) on public perception. Data were collected from a podcast episode of Voices of Change, where the two speakers discussed pressing social issues, community engagement, and mental health while also delving into Gaga's personal controversies, including his involvement in a fatal car accident. The analysis employed Brown and Levinson's politeness theory to identify strategies such as paying attention to the interlocutor's needs, exaggerating sympathy, avoiding conflict, and looking for consensus. Findings reveal that while Gaga uses politeness strategies to justify his actions and rebuild his public image, Grace frequently challenges his narrative through FTAs, targeting both his positive and negative face. For example, Grace confronts Gaga’s attempts at self-justification with direct critiques, often heightening the conversational tension. The podcast reflects societal expectations of public figures embroiled in scandals to exhibit remorse and take accountability. Despite efforts to apply positive politeness strategies, such as showing interest and declaring common ground, the discourse often shifts towards defensiveness, limiting its effectiveness in fostering mutual understanding. This study highlights the challenges of navigating public apologies and societal expectations, offering insights into the role of politeness in mitigating conflict and enhancing public discourse in social media interactions.   Keywords :     politeness strategies; face-threatening acts; YouTube vloggers; public discourse                                        English Lecturers and Teachers Association (ELTA) 2025-01-02 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Peer-reviewed Article application/pdf https://journal.eltaorganization.org/index.php/joal/article/view/340 10.52622/joal.v4i2.340 Journal of Applied Linguistics ; Vol. 4 No. 2 (2025): January, 2025; 144 - 158 2809-1922 2809-1914 10.52622/joal.v4i2 eng https://journal.eltaorganization.org/index.php/joal/article/view/340/245 Copyright (c) 2024 Aisya Naifa Naila, Arina, Maryam, Amanda, Rahmadsyah Rangkuti https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0

Exploring Sarcasm In Different Movie Genres: A Case Study Of Horror And Comedy Movies Argatha Samuel Riandika Pasaribu, Arsen Nahum Sembiring, Rony Arahta This study explored how sarcasm was used in two contrasting movie genres, horror, and comedy, to understand its role in shaping tone, storytelling, and audience engagement. Drawing on Camp’s theory, sarcasm is categorized into four types: propositional sarcasm, lexical, like-prefixed, and illocutionary sarcasm. The research uses a qualitative approach, analyzing selected films and their script to identify and classify 127 sarcastic utterances—66 in horror and 61 in comedy. The findings reveal that illocutionary sarcasm is the most common in horror (50.00%), complementing the genre’s subtle and dark undertones. In comedy, propositional sarcasm takes the lead (37.70%), reflecting its playful and straightforward humor. Like-prefixed sarcasm appears the least in both genres, with 4.55% in horror and 3.28% in comedy. These results highlight how sarcasm adapts to each genre’s narrative style and audience expectations. By shedding light on the contextual differences in sarcasm’s use, this study offers valuable insights into genre-specific communication and helps deepen our understanding of sarcasm as a powerful linguistic tool in both entertainment and education.

Exploring Narrative Writing Skills of Indonesian 6th Graders: A Critical Genre Analysis Fila Alfia Lekson, Mutiara Alda Manalu, Lidya Arella Chaterina Parinduri, Afrahul Fadhillah T. Thyrhaya Zein This qualitative study examines the narrative writing skills of four 6th-grade students in Indonesia by analyzing four narrative texts and conducting interviews with the students about their writing processes. Using Bhatia’s Critical Genre Analysis (CGA) framework, the research investigates the interaction between textual features, professional practices, and cultural influences in shaping their narratives. The analysis reveals that students primarily use simple sentence structures and face challenges with grammar, such as inconsistent tense usage and subject-verb agreement errors. Additionally, their narratives reflect cultural values like family and togetherness, highlighting the role of socio-cultural norms in shaping their storytelling. Despite these strengths, the limited linguistic complexity indicates a need for instructional strategies that focus on vocabulary expansion and the development of narrative techniques. The findings also emphasize the influence of teaching practices, as most narratives follow a linear structure aligned with classroom instruction. This study contributes to educational practices by offering insights into how language, culture, and pedagogy intersect in narrative writing. The results aim to guide educators and curriculum developers in improving narrative writing instruction, enhancing its alignment with students’ developmental and cultural contexts.

An Analysis of Presuppositions in the Selected Song Lyrics of Hendry Moodie’s Album Simanjuntak, Fransisca Hasibuan, Wan Syahfina Yahmi Manurung, Lastri W Manik, Sondang This study analyzed the presuppositions in the song lyrics of Hendry Moodie’s album to uncover deeper meanings and emotional nuances in his music. The research focused on five selected songs: "Drunk Text," "Orbit," "Pick Up the Phone," "You Were There for Me," and "Closure." Using qualitative content analysis, presuppositions were categorized based on Levinson’s and Yule’s frameworks, including existential, factive, lexical, structural, non-factive, and counterfactual types. The analysis revealed the distribution of presupposition types as follows: "Drunk Text" (15% existential, 20% factive, 20% lexical, 20% structural, 10% non-factive, 15% counterfactual), "Orbit" (20% existential, 20% factive, 20% lexical, 20% structural, 10% non-factive, 10% counterfactual), "Pick Up the Phone" (20% existential, 20% factive, 20% lexical, 20% structural, 10% non-factive, 10% counterfactual), "You Were There for Me" (20% existential, 20% factive, 20% lexical, 20% structural, 10% non-factive, 10% counterfactual), and "Closure" (15% existential, 20% factive, 20% lexical, 20% structural, 10% non-factive, 15% counterfactual). The findings indicated that Moodie’s use of presuppositions enriched the depth of his lyrics, guiding listeners toward specific interpretations and emotional responses. By embedding implicit assumptions, Moodie enhanced the narrative and emotional resonance of his songs, fostering a deeper connection with his audience. This research contributed to a better understanding of how linguistic devices in song lyrics influence listener perception and engagement. It provided new insights into the relationship between language and emotion in music, demonstrating the power of presupposition in shaping the emotional impact of lyrics.

Interpreting Students' Reading Comprehension Strategies in Higher Education Eripuddin Rahayu, Pipit Azi Nurazima Juhastri Evi Peranian Evi Kasyulita Reading comprehension is a fundamental skill that enables students to extract meaning from Reading comprehension is a crucial skill that enables students to extract meaning from texts, supporting their academic success, professional growth, and cognitive development. This qualitative study explores the reading comprehension strategies of eighth-grade students at Al-Khoir Islamic Boarding School in Padang Lawas, with data collected from 22 students through questionnaires and structured interviews. The results reveal that skimming and scanning are the dominant techniques, with skimming being the most frequently used method. About 50% of participants expressed that these strategies were effective due to their simplicity and speed in aiding text comprehension, with skimming receiving the highest score among the four strategies assessed. While these strategies allow for efficient reading, the study suggests that students engage less with more comprehensive techniques like intensive and extensive reading, which are essential for fostering deeper comprehension and critical thinking skills. This preference for skimming and scanning may be influenced by the boarding school’s structured environment, which creates time pressures, as well as the students' language proficiency, which may limit their ability to engage with more complex texts. The findings emphasize the need for instructional strategies that promote a balanced approach, integrating both surface-level and in-depth reading techniques to enhance overall language proficiency.

The Effect of Storytelling on English Maritime Students’ Reading Comprehension at Politeknik Pelayaran Malahayati Yusrah Neneng Sri Lestari Yunita Sari Adelina This study investigated the effectiveness of storytelling as an instructional strategy for improving students’ reading comprehension. A quasi-experimental design was employed, involving 32 students divided into a control group (n=14) and an experimental group (n=18). The control group was taught using conventional methods, while the experimental group received a storytelling-based intervention. Pre-test and post-test scores were analyzed to measure the impact of the teaching methods.The results showed a significant improvement in the experimental group’s reading comprehension. The mean score for the experimental group increased from 64.89 in the pre-test to 78.22 in the post-test, while the control group’s mean score only increased from 65.21 to 68.57. A paired t-test revealed that the experimental group’s improvement was statistically significant (t=6.72, p<0.01), whereas the control group’s improvement was not (t=1.85, p>0.05). An independent t-test comparing the post-test scores of the two groups confirmed a significant difference (t=4.29, p<0.01), with the experimental group outperforming the control group. The effect size (Cohen’s d=1.12) indicated a large impact of the storytelling intervention. These findings highlighted storytelling’s potential to enhance students’ reading comprehension by fostering engagement and deeper understanding of the material. The study underscores the importance of integrating innovative teaching strategies, such as storytelling, into educational practices to improve learning outcomes. Further research is recommended to explore its application across different subjects and educational levels.

Legitimisation and Coercion in Political Discourse: Ghana Electoral Commission's Press Conference Media Report. Jujugenia, Wilson Awiah Afful, Joseph Benjamin Archibald Kyei, Emmanuel Emerging democracies and post-conflict nations are now stabilizing and democratizing as a result of elections. This study delves into power dynamics within media discourse, focusing on the press conference held by the Ghana Electoral Commission concerning the acquisition of a new biometric voter management system. Drawing from Chilton's (2004) framework of coercion, legitimisation, and delegitimisation, it investigates how the conference escalated political tensions by reiterating the Commission’s decision, rebutting opposition claims, and emphasizing the legitimacy of the new system. Using qualitative content analysis, the study offers a nuanced examination of language usage, highlighting inclusion and distancing techniques, along with ideological underpinnings, employed by the Commission to justify the procurement. Notably, descriptive terms like "expired," "bloated," and "out-of-life" are utilized to characterise the current voter register, aiming to underscore the necessity of the proposed changes.
