Code Switching In The E-Ktp Megacorruption Trial And Its Implications For Indonesian Language And Literature Education

Arini Hidayah — 2025-12-30

Purpose of the study: This study analyzes the forms and functions of code-mixing in the language used during the E-KTP megacorruption trial and explores its implications for teaching Indonesian Language and Literature at the senior high school level. Using a qualitative descriptive method, the data were drawn from transcripts of selected trial sessions obtained from CNN Indonesia’s YouTube channel. The dataset is limited to courtroom utterances produced by judges, prosecutors, and witnesses.

Methodology: This study uses a qualitative descriptive method. The data consists of transcripts of the E-KTP Megacorruption trial taken from videos on CNN Indonesia's YouTube channel. Data collection techniques were carried out through documentation and observation, while data analysis included reduction, presentation, and drawing and verification of conclusions..

Main Findings: The analysis identifies 21 instances of code-mixing, consisting of 12 words and 9 phrases. Code-mixing primarily functions as a tool of social control, particularly to clarify legal terms and convey perspectives within formal judicial discourse. Most code-mixed forms have equivalent expressions in Indonesian without altering meaning. This study is limited by its focus on a single legal case and a relatively small dataset.

Novelty/Originality of this study: The novelty of this research lies in its specific focus on code-mixing in Indonesian courtroom discourse, an area rarely examined in previous studies that mainly address informal contexts. Additionally, the study contributes pedagogically by applying legal discourse findings to the teaching of negotiation texts in secondary education.

Cultural Values In Javanese Proverbs: An Ecolinguistic Study Of Flora And Fauna Metaphors

Nadiya Yunianti — 2025-12-30

Purpose of the study: This study aims to examine how cultural values are represented through flora and fauna metaphors in Javanese proverbs from an ecolinguistic perspective, with particular attention to how natural elements are used to convey cultural wisdom and human–nature relationships in Javanese society.

Methodology: The study employs a descriptive qualitative design with an ethnographic approach. The data consist of 30 selected Javanese proverbs taken from Paribasan Jawa by Johan Argono, comprising 15 proverbs containing flora metaphors and 15 containing fauna metaphors.

Main Findings: The findings reveal that flora and fauna metaphors in Javanese proverbs primarily reflect cultural values related to morality, social relationships, and life guidance. Flora metaphors tend to emphasize ontological meanings, while fauna metaphors more frequently employ structural metaphors to convey social behavior and moral lessons.

Novelty/Originality of this study: The novelty of this study lies in its ecolinguistic analysis of Javanese proverbs through a focused examination of flora and fauna metaphors. By highlighting how local ecological symbols encode cultural wisdom, the study contributes to discussions on language, culture, and environmental awareness, particularly in the context of preserving local knowledge and traditional values.

Lexical Metaphor Use In Advertising Slogans: A Systemic Functional Perspective

Annisa Atthormizi — 2025-12-30

Purpose of the study: This study aims to analyze the types and meanings of lexical metaphors used in selected educational slogan advertisements, with a particular focus on how metaphorical expressions contribute to persuasive meaning within promotional language.

Methodology: This research employed a descriptive qualitative design using textual and pictorial analysis. The data were limited to slogan advertisements from three educational institutions The Doon World School, The Asian School Dehradun, and Junior High School Maria Mediatrix collected through documentation. The analysis was conducted using Halliday’s Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL) framework, Saragih’s lexical metaphor classification, and Royce’s verbo-pictorial theory.

Main Findings: The findings indicate that the slogans predominantly employ noun–noun and noun–verb lexical metaphors. These metaphors function to reinforce intended meanings and enhance slogan attractiveness and clarity. The analysis also shows a close relationship between literal and metaphorical meanings, suggesting that conventional metaphors are more frequently used than novel ones within the analyzed data set.

Novelty/Originality of this study: This study offers an integrative analysis combining Saragih’s lexical metaphor typology and Halliday’s SFL approach within the specific and limited context of educational slogan advertisements. While the findings cannot be generalized beyond the selected data, the study contributes to a focused understanding of how lexical metaphors function as persuasive linguistic resources in educational advertising discourse.

An Analysis Of Simple Past Tense Errors In Grade X Students’ Recount Texts

Auliatul Fitri — 2025-12-31

Purpose of the study: This study aims to identify and analyze the types of grammatical errors made by tenth-grade students in writing recount texts, particularly in the use of the simple past tense, using Surface Strategy Taxonomy and Linguistic Category Taxonomy to reveal patterns of learners’ grammatical difficulties.

Methodology: This research employed a descriptive error analysis approach, combining qualitative interpretation with quantitative frequency analysis. The data consisted of recount texts written by tenth-grade students of Senior high school 1 Sumberejo Tanggamus, collected through documentation. The errors were identified, classified, and analyzed based on Surface Strategy Taxonomy and Linguistic Category Taxonomy, with percentages used to indicate error tendencies rather than statistical generalization.

Main Findings: The results show that misformation errors were the most dominant type (57.3%), followed by omission (24.3%), addition (5.6%), and misordering (2.8%). Most errors occurred in morphological and syntactic categories, particularly in verb forms related to the simple past tense. These findings indicate that students’ difficulties stem from incomplete mastery of grammatical rules and verb inflections rather than careless mistakes.

Novelty/Originality of this study: This study contributes a dual-taxonomy error analysis that integrates Surface Strategy and Linguistic Category approaches to provide a more comprehensive diagnosis of students’ grammatical errors. The findings offer specific pedagogical implications, including the need for targeted grammar instruction, focused practice on verb-form accuracy, and error-based corrective feedback in teaching recount text writing.

Improving Students’ Writing Skills In Advertising Text Through Audio Visual Media At The Junior High School Level

Garris Pelangi — 2025-12-31

Purpose of the study: This study aims to examine the effectiveness of audio-visual media in improving students’ writing skills in advertisement texts among eighth-grade students at SMPN 87 Jakarta.

Methodology: The research employed a quantitative experimental design using a one-group pretest–posttest model. The participants were eighth-grade students selected through random sampling. Data were collected through writing tests focusing on advertisement text composition and analyzed using descriptive statistics and inferential analysis with a paired-sample t-test.

Main Findings: The findings indicate a significant improvement in students’ advertisement text writing skills after the implementation of audio-visual media. The mean post-test score (84.56) was higher than the mean pre-test score (71.25), and the calculated t-value (5.46) exceeded the critical t-value (2.04), demonstrating a statistically significant effect. The improvement reflects students’ enhanced ability to develop persuasive content, organize ideas, and apply appropriate language features in advertisement texts.

Novelty/Originality of this study: This study contributes to language learning research by providing empirical evidence on the effectiveness of audio-visual media specifically for teaching advertisement text writing at the junior high school level. Unlike studies that focus broadly on multimedia use, this research emphasizes the alignment between instructional media, learning materials, and writing objectives, offering a practical model for integrating audio-visual resources into writing instruction.
