One of the famous Native American poets is Scott Momaday. Momaday is a Kiowa Native American poet, storywriter, and novelist. The purpose of this research is to explain traditions, and the significance of natural landscape in Scott Momaday's poetry, focused on words, images and metaphors by means of descriptive qualitative method. The researchers endeavor to apply a concept of Shamanism in Momaday's poetry. Shamanism is an ancient healing tradition, and a way of life. It is a way to connect with nature and all the creations. Every plant for native Americans symbolizes a certain thing, cherries symbolize mercy, and they can heal wounds by the ointment. The data are taken from the poems related to nature and tradition as in <em>The Earth, Eagle Feather Fan, The Delight Song of Tsoai-Talee, and Angle of Geese</em>. The results show that natural landscape and traditions are linked to spirituality. For Native Americans, there is no difference between animate and inanimate objects; everything in this life has a soul.2023-12-29T06:52:08+07:00Copyright (c) 2023 Language Literacy: Journal of Linguistics, Literature, and Language Teachinghttps://jurnal.uisu.ac.id/index.php/languageliteracy/article/view/7552EFL SUCCESSFUL LEARNERS’ PERCEPTION ON THE USE OF COGNITIVE STRATEGIES IN SPEAKING PERFORMANCE2024-02-05T14:20:13+07:00Tania Tahminataniatahmina1971@yahoo.com<p>EFL learners adopt various strategies to speak effectively. Cognitive learning strategies assist them to speak easily and comfortably. The aim of this research was to explore the most frequently used cognitive strategies which were employed by the successful learners of the Department of English, Jagannath University, Dhaka, Bangladesh, in their speaking class. In this study, a mixed-methods approach was used to collect the data. The subjects of this research were eighteen (six males and nine females) successful learners. Oxford’s (1990) SILL (“Strategy Inventory for Language Learning”) questionnaire was employed to collect the data. The interview provided answers to the questions, which was helpful to comprehend the learners’ perceptions better and to validate the quantitative data. The completed questionnaires were collected and analyzed descriptively. The result showed that the most frequently used cognitive strategy which the successful learners employed to develop their speaking skills was “I say or write new English words several times” (60%). The next most frequently used strategy was a cognitive strategy “I watch English language TV shows spoken in English or go to movies spoken in English” (46.66%). This was followed by the cognitive strategies “I practice the sounds of English” (40%) and “I find the meaning of an English word by dividing it into parts that I understand” (40%). The data will assist learners, teachers and researchers for the improvement of future teaching-learning processes.</p>2023-12-29T06:52:08+07:00Copyright (c) 2023 Language Literacy: Journal of Linguistics, Literature, and Language Teachinghttps://jurnal.uisu.ac.id/index.php/languageliteracy/article/view/7889LOOKING AT THE MODEL OF "PERSONAL BRANDING" OF PROPHET YUSUF ‘ALAIHISSALAM IN THE QUR'AN BASED ON PETER MONTOYA'S PERSPECTIVE: SEMANTIC ANALYSIS STUDY2024-02-05T14:20:13+07:00Nuriatul Maftukhahnuriatulmaftukhah335@gmail.comAbul Ma'aliel_buma@uin-malang.ac.id<p><span>Highlighting one's own strengths to the general public both directly and indirectly is often termed personal branding. This term is used to build people's positive perception of personal merit. This has been done by the Prophets, one of which is Prophet Yusuf <em>‘alaihissalam</em> as the verses in Surat Yusuf. The purpose of this study is to find out the personal branding model according to Peter Montoya's theory conducted by Prophet Yusuf <em>‘alaihissalam</em> based on Yusuf Verse. Research with this type of qualitative is in the form of library research using content analysis in the form of <em>Surat Yusuf</em> in the Qur'an then analyzed descriptively to obtain conclusions. The results of this study show that Prophet Yusuf <em>‘alaihissalam</em> brands himself as a dream taker, and a person who is good at keeping again knowledgeable. To strengthen his personal branding, Allah the Exalted shows many advantages including having a handsome face, justifying the results of his supervision, and making people rank in the Egyptian state at that time. The branding carried out by Prophet Yusuf himself and by Allah through His <em>kalam</em> shows according to Peter Montoya's personal branding principles, specialization, leadership, personality, distinctiveness, visibility, unity, persistence, and goodwill.</span></p>2023-12-29T06:52:09+07:00Copyright (c) 2023 Language Literacy: Journal of Linguistics, Literature, and Language Teachinghttps://jurnal.uisu.ac.id/index.php/languageliteracy/article/view/6655THE NATURALNESS IN THE TRANSLATION OF GUARDIANS OF GA’HOOLE: THE CAPTURE NOVEL BY KATHRYN LASKY2024-02-05T14:20:13+07:00Idha Dwi Permatasariidha.permatasari@yahoo.comA research about translation is highly observed because people nowadays are interested in the meaning of the foreign language.

In this study, the writer focuses on syntax which has something to do with phrasal verbs discussed in tree diagram. This study uses <em>The Hammer of Thor</em> novel by Rick Riordan as the data source. The objective of the study is to find out kinds of phrasal verbs in <em>The Hammer of Thor</em> novel and the meaning of those phrasal verbs. This study used qualitative method. There are 33 phrasal verbs found in the novel as the source of data. Those particles which form the phrasal verbs are <em>out, up, for, down, about, back, on, off, into, away, through, from,</em> and <em>over</em>. Based on the data found, the phrasal verbs are different from verb phrases in written form. Furthermore, the tree diagram gives more understanding how phrasal verbs are formed and how to use them syntactically.2023-12-29T06:52:09+07:00Copyright (c) 2023 Language Literacy: Journal of Linguistics, Literature, and Language Teachinghttps://jurnal.uisu.ac.id/index.php/languageliteracy/article/view/7053“HOW DO THE BROCHURES SPEAK?” SYSTEMIC FUNCTIONAL LINGUISTICS ANALYSIS IN ONLINE PARENTING BROCHURES2024-02-05T14:20:13+07:00Siska Eka Syafitrisiskaekasyafitri@unsam.ac.idTengku Silvana Sinartengkusilvana@usu.ac.idMulyadi Mulyadimulyadi@usu.ac.idMasdiana Lubismasdianalubis@usu.ac.id<p>Online brochures are one of the preferred choices in describing the advertisement’s worth of many linguistic features. ‘Parenting’ strategies are one of the topics which are discussed in the online brochures. We can find the quotes and problem-solving about ‘parenting’ spread in cyberspace. Online parenting brochures are made by a personal or community to share that importance. The clause in parenting brochures discourse has a semantic meaning of its speech function. The language of the brochures was examined by using Halliday’s theory of Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL), then it was found that the language in the brochures was formulated interpersonally. The meanings of the clause are developed in any interactive features in exchanging the giving and demanding move of speech function. This research was conducted qualitatively by analyzing 48 clauses in the brochures. It was found that the most commonly used linguistic clause in the brochures was the statement (71%) as a way of giving information to the readers. Then the rest was the command (29%) for the parents or the childminder to be applied in nurturing the children. Besides, multimodal strategies were also used to make the brochures more eye-catching. The semiotics modes used in the brochures were supported by the meaning making of the discourse. The readers were also invited to comprehend the urgent situation of the topic discussed. </p>2023-12-29T06:52:10+07:00Copyright (c) 2023 Language Literacy: Journal of Linguistics, Literature, and Language Teachinghttps://jurnal.uisu.ac.id/index.php/languageliteracy/article/view/8321PERSON DEIXIS USED IN THE PURSUIT OF HAPPYNESS MOVIE2024-02-05T14:20:14+07:00Jumat Barusjumatbarus@iainlhokseumawe.ac.idDeixis plays a crucial role in language by pointing or referring to specific people, places, or times. The study specifically focuses on personal deixis, which is essential for effective communication in daily conversations, as it helps avoiding misunderstandings regarding references made by the speaker. The objective of this study is to analyze the types of deixis present in the movie <em>The Pursuit of Happyness</em>. This research uses a descriptive qualitative analysis method. The data collected for analysis follow thematic analysis which is a qualitative data analysis that focuses on identifying, analyzing, and interpreting data. The findings of this research reveal numerous instances of deixis in the movie.

A quasi-experimental investigation was conducted to fulfill the research objective. The total number of participants was selected by systematic random sampling and divided into control and experimental groups. During the 2022 academic year, 92 <em>Shambu</em> High School of 10th grade students participated in the study. Tests with oral questions were given before and after the intervention and the results were evaluated using SPSS. Independent samples t-test results showed that there was no significant difference between the pretest scores of the two groups on the oral presentation samples, either in general speaking ability or in the use of grammar and vocabulary. However, the general spoken language abilities of the two groups and their consumption of vocabulary and grammatical elements differed significantly in the post-test. According to the paired sample t-test, the experimental group improved their basic speaking skills more than the control group. Therefore, it can be argued that teaching English through an integrated skills intervention had a better impact on students' speaking abilities than a more conventional method of teaching speaking skills.

However, the generic structure of PD is seldomly being the perspective of linguistics studies. The paper aims at scrutinizing the genre of USA Presidential debate using the genre analysis framework proposed by Swales and Bhatia. Thus, the study employs two parts of genre analysis: move, and strategies analysis. The present study finds that there are six moves of USA PD namely greetings-informing the debate format, introducing the topic, thesis, argumentation, and closure. The communicative purpose of the moves is persuading the American voters in the election day. The finding implies pivotal stages of PD to construct political discourse.

Using qualitative method, the researchers examined various language structures that give rise to presuppositions. This was pursued by exploring the State of the Nation Address (SONA) delivered by President Akufo-Addo of Ghana on 30th March 2022. The analysis of the SONA, as the data of the study, revealed the utilization of a number of presupposition triggers – such as possessive construction, “one” construction, definite noun phrase, adverbial clause, relative clause, “even” construction, iteratives, change of state verbs, and factive verbs or phrases – under the existential, structural and lexical presuppositions. The article thus opines that the enactment of presuppositions, through the identified forms, affords the President the opportunity to disseminate his message with a higher degree of veracity on the conditions and happenings of the Ghanaian state.</p><p><span><br /></span></p>2023-12-29T06:52:11+07:00Copyright (c) 2023 Language Literacy: Journal of Linguistics, Literature, and Language Teachinghttps://jurnal.uisu.ac.id/index.php/languageliteracy/article/view/8214THE INFLUENCE OF GOAL SETTING, SELF-EFFICACY, SELF-REGULATION, AND COURSE ATTITUDE ON FRENCH LANGUAGE LEARNING MOTIVATION2024-02-05T14:20:14+07:00Ilga Patricya Ganiailgapg@upi.eduDadang Sunendardadangsunendar@upi.eduIis Sopiawatiiis_sopiawati503@upi.edu<p>Motivation to learn is very important to achieve learning goals, especially learning French language which is not the mother tongue for Indonesian students. Therefore, it is important to investigate the affective characteristics of those who motivate them to learn French. The research aims to see the effects of goal setting, self-efficacy, self-regulation and course attitude on motivation to learn French for students in Indonesia. This research used a descriptive qualitative approach, where 112 students participated in this research, and the data analysis process used was path analysis. The results of statistical testing show that goal setting, self-efficacy, self-regulation and course attitude have a significant effect on motivation to learn French. This proves that intrinsic and cognitive factors play a role in increasing students' motivation to learn a second language. In an indirect relationship, course attitude mediates the relationship between goal setting and self-efficacy on motivation to learn and also shows positive and significant results. This research contributes to evaluating the factors that influence student motivation in increasing effectiveness in learning a second language, namely French for Indonesian students.</p>2023-12-29T06:52:11+07:00Copyright (c) 2023 Language Literacy: Journal of Linguistics, Literature, and Language Teachinghttps://jurnal.uisu.ac.id/index.php/languageliteracy/article/view/8198PROMOTING ECOLOGICAL AWARENESS IN METAL GEAR SOLID V: SOCIAL SEMIOTIC APPROACH2024-02-05T14:20:15+07:00Muhammad Hafiz Kurniawanmh.kurniawan@upi.eduWawan Gunawanwagoen@upi.eduDadang Sudanadsudana2013@yahoo.com<p><span>Video game is a new media of telling stories to young people and adults and it is no longer seen as gameplay only but gameplay with story. Metal Gear Solid V: <em>The Phantom Pain took Cold War</em> as the main story background tells the story differently. The game system of this video game offers freedom to players to interact with anything during the gameplay, but this freedom has consequences. Applying social semiotic approach, this paper aims to identify how appraisal theory and narrative representation can be used to promote ecological awareness. After observing, collecting and viewing, transcribing and analyzing multimodal data, the researchers find that killing non-playable characters in form of human and animals and even enemy will reduce the score which is important in developing the playable characters’ weapons and equipment. Adopting the theory from Martin & White in appraisal theory and Kress and van Leewuen, Caple in narrative representation, this paper also finds that appraisal theory is used to guide the players to play in ethical way such as using non-lethal weaponry, capturing wild animals to protect them from war, and collecting medical plants as needed only, besides, the enemy soldiers can be hired and give beneficial results to the players when they are used to play. In narrative representation, the freedom of choices is designed to make ethical play more plausible.</span></p>2023-12-29T06:52:12+07:00Copyright (c) 2023 Language Literacy: Journal of Linguistics, Literature, and Language Teachinghttps://jurnal.uisu.ac.id/index.php/languageliteracy/article/view/8217ENGINEERING LECTURERS’ PERCEPTIONS TOWARDS EFFECTIVE CONCLUSION SECTION IN ENGINEERING FINAL YEAR PROJECT PRESENTATION2024-02-05T14:20:15+07:00Wan Raihan Wan Shaaidione_rayhan07@yahoo.co.ukNoor Raha Mohd Radzuannraha@umpsa.edu.myWan Jumani Fauzijumani@umpsa.edu.my<p><span lang="EN-GB">Final year project presentation (FYPP) assessment in the engineering field aims to evaluate students’ comprehension in the principles and concepts learnt and its application in resolving problems through engineering projects.</span><span lang="EN-GB">The components assessed in FYPPs include the presentation slides that comprise introduction, content and conclusion sections. Many studies have emphasised the significance of the conclusion section in project presentations; however, there has not been much research that explores the students' knowledge and practice on conclusion moves in their FYPPs from the FYPP lecturers’ perspective. Therefore, this qualitative study, through focus group interviews, explored the perceptions of 12 engineering lecturers from a private higher institution in the east coast region of Malaysia. These lecturers, who were also the students’ FYP supervisors were asked about the students’ overall performance in delivering FYPP conclusion section, the significance of the conclusion section and the challenges faced by engineering undergraduates when presenting their conclusion section. The findings indicate that the lecturers rated students' conclusion presentations as average. The findings reveal that for the lecturers, the conclusion section is significant as it is part of the FYPP assessment rubric and it reflects students’ critical thinking and problem solving skills. In addition, the key challenges faced by students in presenting an effective conclusion section were the English language barriers and obliviousness of the essential elements of a conclusion section.

This proposed variety does not yet exist even as a de facto English variety spoken in Indonesia or elsewhere. Nonetheless, the growing spread of English used by Indonesians has frequently prompted the idea of promoting the establishment of Indolish as a new English variety in the World Englishes areas for Indonesians. To clarify this early signal, an exploratory study was conducted to investigate the perspective of Indonesian postgraduate students who pursued their higher degrees in some Australian universities and whose overseas learning and language contact experience should bring them into a direct contact with a wide range of English varieties and thereby allowing them to better reflect on the significance of creating a special type of English for Indonesians. Seven participants responded to the three open-questioned survey questionnaire sent to two mailing list groups of Indonesian Postgraduate students. Two participants prefer to have Indolish while five others disagree with the idea. Majority of the participants show a strong nationalistic identity indicating a stagnant foundation process in Schneider’s Dynamic Model in Indonesian context. Nevertheless, the participants demonstrate a strong dependence on English NS norms which confirm Kachru’s proposition and indicate their rejection of Norton’s notion of ownership of English language.

This applies to the domain of teaching English as a Foreign Language (EFL). However, the process of curriculum reform poses several challenges, particularly for teachers who play a vital role in its implementation. This research aims to explore the difficulties encountered by EFL teachers in adapting to the transition from the Curriculum 13 (K13) to the <em>Kurikulum Merdeka</em> (Independent Curriculum) in Indonesia. Through a phenomenological case study, three EFL teachers in the North Sumatra province share their perspectives and experiences in incorporating the new curriculum into their teaching practices. Despite facing essential obstacles such as limited access to ICT resources and inadequate training, the insights gathered underscore the importance of teachers cultivating creativity and adaptability in their teaching methods. Additionally, the study emphasizes the significance of a serious understanding of the subject matter and the integration of 21st-century skills. The diverse viewpoints presented offer current insights into addressing the challenges associated with the development and implementation of EFL at different levels and in various types of schools. </span>2023-12-29T06:52:13+07:00Copyright (c) 2023 Language Literacy: Journal of Linguistics, Literature, and Language Teachinghttps://jurnal.uisu.ac.id/index.php/languageliteracy/article/view/8221JAPANESE AND INDONESIAN EXPRESSIONS OF HOSPITALITY AT HOTEL2024-02-05T14:20:15+07:00Azizia Freda Savanaaziziafreda@umy.ac.idAyu Gardenia Lantangayu.gardenia@ppl.ac.id<p>The research discusses Japanese and Indonesian expressions of hospitality at hotels.

This research uses a descriptive qualitative method by taking a case study of two chapters in <em>Bumi Manusia </em>and its translation in English. The study found 30 expressions containing modals in the two main characters in chapters 5 and 7. The translation procedures carried out by the translator consist of standard translation (one datum), transference (15 data), modulation (four data), literal (six data), addition (one datum), contextual equivalence (two data), and paraphrasing (one datum). From Minke's character, there were 11 translations with the ideology of domestication and seven data of foreignization; and from Nyai Ontosoroh's character, only one expression that was translated domestically, and the other 11 data were foreignized. Therefore, 12 out of 30 data, i.e., 40%, were translated with domestication ideology, while 18 out of 30 data or 60% were translated with foreignization ideology. In conclusion, a translator's habitus influenced his way of translating which automatically directed his translation ideology.</p>2023-12-29T06:52:13+07:00Copyright (c) 2023 Language Literacy: Journal of Linguistics, Literature, and Language Teachinghttps://jurnal.uisu.ac.id/index.php/languageliteracy/article/view/7479DIRECTIONAL MOTION VERB CONSTRUCTION IN MADURESE LANGUAGE: A STUDY OF LANGUAGE TYPOLOGY2024-02-05T14:22:02+07:00Muhammad Hifni Sahila Rizqymuhammadhifni1717@gmail.comAgus Subiyantosubaling@gmail.com<p>Semantically, the construction of directional motion verbs has two significant points: manner of motion, which refers to the way the motion is performed, and path, which conveys the directional meaning. In the context of verbal construction with directional motion, the path component can be constructed through directional verbs or prepositional phrases as markers of the goal. Based on these patterns, Talmy (1975) and Slobin (2006) classified languages into three frameworks: verb-framed languages, satellite-framed languages, and equipollent-framed languages. This research aims to describe the construction of direct motion verb in Madurese language and critically analyze the position of Madurese as an Austronesian language based on the classification proposed by Talmy and Slobin. Using a descriptive-qualitative approach, this study collects primary data from native Madurese speakers, and the secondary data from article journal related to Madurese language as comparison. In conclusion, Madurese language can be categorized as a verb-framed language overall. Based on the analysis, there are several directional verbs in Madurese that can simultaneously carry meanings consistent with prepositional phrases, although in other sentence contexts, they may exhibit different semantic and syntactic patterns. Furthermore, Madurese tends to fall into the verb-framed language category as it lacks a resultative-adjective pattern, and its directional verbs are not main verbs but rather open-class adjuncts.</p>2023-12-29T06:52:14+07:00Copyright (c) 2023 Language Literacy: Journal of Linguistics, Literature, and Language Teachinghttps://jurnal.uisu.ac.id/index.php/languageliteracy/article/view/7876EXAMINING VARIABILITY: A GENRE ANALYSIS OF ENGLISH LANGUAGE EDUCATION STUDENTS' THESIS ABSTRACTS2024-02-05T14:22:03+07:00Muhammad Haris Mustaqimharismustaqim@umuslim.ac.idIntan Zuhraintanzuhra@umuslim.ac.id<p>The abstract of the thesis is the initial segment that researchers scrutinize to ascertain its pertinence to their interests. Researchers must possess an inherent comprehension of the section's rhetorical progression, structure, and arrangement. This study investigates the genre of thesis abstract sections produced by undergraduate students from Aceh who are majoring in English Education. The writers are interested in examining the writing style of Acehnese undergraduate students when composing their thesis abstracts. The dataset utilized in this study comprises 50 specifically chosen thesis abstracts from 5 universities in Aceh. The data analysis utilizes Hyland's five-move structural model of the abstract section, as well as the status of the motions as described by Huttner. The findings indicate that Hyland's five-move structure model is a useful tool for examining the move structure of the abstract section. Furthermore, there is no notable variation in the move structures across all datasets. The moves that occur most frequently are move 2, move 3, and move 4, making them the mandatory moves. The results could assist English as a Foreign Language (EFL) instructors in instructing and preparing their students to write the abstract section. Additionally, it could enhance the effectiveness of EFL students in composing well-organized abstract sections and improve researchers' understanding and sensitivity while crafting their thesis abstracts</p>2023-12-29T06:52:14+07:00Copyright (c) 2023 Language Literacy: Journal of Linguistics, Literature, and Language Teachinghttps://jurnal.uisu.ac.id/index.php/languageliteracy/article/view/8441POPULARIZATION OF SCIENCE FICTION: FORMULA ANALYSIS ON ELLE McNICOLL’S NOVEL SHOW US WHO YOU ARE2024-02-05T14:22:05+07:00Rifqi Akbarrifqiakbar495193@mail.ugm.ac.id<p>This research is the formula analysis of popularization of science fiction in representing the neurodivergent character, Cora, in <em>Show Us Who You Are</em>. The novel, exposes the female autistic who would be the next hologram creation of Pomegranate’s experimentation. The method used in this study is an inductive-qualitative approach with comprehensive data collection and analysis that generate arguments and critical thinking. The material object used is the novel <em>Show Us Who You Are</em> written by Elle McNicoll, while the formal object is the formula put forward by Raymond Williams about conventions and inventions in the science fiction genre. The combination of science fiction and middle grade makes Elle McNicoll's work unique in reconstructing the romanticization of neurodivergent character from the neurodivergent perspective. Thus, these innovations are presented in various formulas which deconstruct the binary narrative through feminist critique in soft SF formed by the author in the delivery of an inclusive neurodiversity movement.</p>2023-12-29T06:52:14+07:00Copyright (c) 2023 Language Literacy: Journal of Linguistics, Literature, and Language Teachinghttps://jurnal.uisu.ac.id/index.php/languageliteracy/article/view/8188THE EFFECTS OF SRSD WITH MNEMONIC TRAP ON EFL UNIVERSITY STUDENTS’ READING COMPREHENSION SKILL2024-02-05T14:22:04+07:00Yuni Putri Utamiyuniutami@unibamadura.ac.idNurul Fadhilahnurulfadilah@unibamadura.ac.id<span>This paper examines the impact of a Self-Regulated Strategy Development using the mnemonic TRAP on the teaching of English reading comprehension skills.

The method used was descriptive qualitative. The researchers found: first, the data of positive politeness strategies and the data of negative politeness strategies were in line with Brown and Levinson's theory, 10 positive types of politeness strategies. The mostly used were: paying attention to the speaker’s interests, wants, requirements and commodities. When the speaker truly means “you” or “me”, he can employ the strategy of inclusiveness form to invoke the cooperative presumptions and rectify FTAs, giving or asking for explanations, insisting on reciprocity, goodness, sympathy, understanding, and cooperation. Out of 8 negative types of politeness strategies, the mostly used were: adopting a customarily indirect stance, not taking compliance for granted, expressing pessimism about one’s capacity or willingness, to reduce the burden, as cited from the FTAs as an illustration of a general principle. Then, three factors influenced the use of polite language, namely: social distance, power, and degree of impositions. </span></p>2023-12-29T06:52:15+07:00Copyright (c) 2023 Language Literacy: Journal of Linguistics, Literature, and Language Teaching
