The use of swear words is common and even popular in movies for adult viewers. However, misunderstanding and ignorance of the intended viewers can cause younger viewers to be exposed to movies with various profanities. The Simpsons, an animated movie, is a good example of this phenomenon. This animated movie is known to contain obscene language expressions which can be mistakenly assumed to be intended for younger viewers. This study sought to identify the kinds and purposes of expletives used in The Simpsons. The current study used Hughes’ framework to analyze the types of swear words, and Andersson and Trudgill's framework was used to analyze their functions. Data were gathered from seven episodes drawn from different seasons of the animated series. Of 102 swear words found in the dialogues of the episodes, seven types of swear words were identified, including anatomical insult, excrement, sexual intercourse, personal background, mental illness, animal term, and religious oath. Additionally, four swearing meanings and functions were discovered abusive, auxiliary, expletive, and humorous. Therefore, it is expected that general readers will express themselves more thoughtfully, be able to identify the target audience for movies, and make more informed decisions when choosing movies for younger audiences.

All teachers, including speaking instructors, should be able to select the proper interactive media for students' speaking practice. Video-assisted learning tasks in the speaking class have not been explored extensively, despite the reality that video-based tasks are an appropriate choice for students to enhance their speaking ability. This study sought to examine the Effect of video-based tasks on students' speaking skills. In this study, a quasi-experimental design was employed, and the speaking scoring rubric served as the research instrument. Both the experimental group and the control group were comprised of participants. Researchers gave pre-and post-tests to identify the impact of the video-based tasks technique on students' speaking skills. Using a simple random sampling technique, 56 students from the English study program in the first grade at Universitas Katolik Indonesia Santu Paulus Ruteng comprised the research sample; then, the data were analyzed by using a t-test with the assistance of the SPSS 24.0 program. The data analysis of the average student score in the experimental and control groups revealed that the experimental group's average score (80,29) was higher than the control group's average score (67,57). This result demonstrates the significant effects of video-based tasks in teaching speaking. The researchers concluded that video-based tasks were helpful for teaching speaking skills. Moreover, video-based tasks significantly impact students' ICT skills, learning independence, and self-evaluation development. The logical implication of this study's findings is that EFL teachers should use videos to teach English, particularly speaking skills, because it has been demonstrated to have a favorable effect on the respondents' speaking ability.

This study aims to investigate the system and structure of English classroom interaction at Medan's Jabal Rahmah Mulia Boarding School. The records of a discussion in communication a video recording by Zoom Meeting among understudies and an English educator are viewed as information to be concentrated on utilizing a talk examination approach in light of Martin's Conversation Analysis (CA) model inside Halliday's Systemic Functional Linguistics structure (SFL). The foundation of the framework and construction of the English study hall connection are the challenges to be addressed. The examination saw movement types, temperament types, and the discourse capability of different provisions. The discoveries show that understudies act as initiators, while English educators work as allies, with optional knower (k2k1) moving sort for the most part; the communication is one of data exchange instead of labor and products, as conversationalists favor decisive and utilize basic sparingly. As per the discoveries, Question (Q) appears to generally satisfy the data given. Inquisitive asking is most ordinarily used to exhibit that a design's relational significance doesn't be guaranteed to compare to its lexico-sentence structure. This examination likewise shows how a study hall conversation happens in a characteristic set of mindset and discourse capability. It likewise demonstrates that understudies are on the requesting end of the scale, bringing about an absence of criticism in the communication.

Being a fan is another way of gaining an identity, and the fans' identity can be analyzed from the linguistic features used in fan talks. The present study aims to identify any identities detected from the fans’ linguistic repertoires when admiring their idols. This qualitative study is conducted by collecting the fan talks in Justin Bieber fan groups on Instagram. The use of social media promotes the increasing number of fans and encourages them to declare their affection textually. The obtained data is analyzed based on three elements of linguistic units; words, themes, and concepts. After obtaining the analysis from the elements of units, the study then shapes the relevant categories constructing the fans’ identities. The result reveals that those fans are identified with sisterhoods, sympathy, and support, for their idol, Justin Bieber, and for each other. Those natures of being fans eventually compose them into dedicated and intimate fans. Furthermore, those fans are also excellent at expressing sympathy and jokes using translingual practice. Translingual practice is also attached in the talks as those fan use varieties of English, Bahasa Indonesia, and heritage languages.

This research study examines teaching beliefs of English-language instructors in Japan, and how their pedagogy is influenced by those beliefs. An Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) research design was used. Seven English-language instructors employed full-time in universities in Tokyo prefecture of Japan participated in this study. Social Cognitive Theory was used as the theoretical framework. It was observed that each instructor’s beliefs interacted in a complex manner within the higher education system in Japan, which impacted instructors’ teaching practices. This study demonstrated that language instructors’ self-efficacy (LTSE) beliefs are intrinsically related to their pedagogy. It revealed a complex relationship between what instructors think and what they may do in class. Findings of this study suggest that English Language instructors’ beliefs are key to their decision-making. In addition, the findings will provide valuable implications for ways to better understand the impact that personal beliefs of instructors have on curriculum and learning. Finally, it has implications for professional education programs for teachers and brings attention to potential research directions for scholars.

There has been rapid advancement in the use of technology through which an extensive array of mobile technologies have been introduced to educational contexts. In the same vein, mobile assisted language learning provides new possibilities for improving language learning conditions. The current study was an attempt to find out the effect of Memrise Mobile Application on Iranian upper-Intermediate EFL learners’ vocabulary achievement and their autonomy. To find the effects, a pre-test post-test quasi-experimental study was conducted. Fifty participants were selected from a cluster of 110 students. The Quick placement test as a test of homogeneity was administered to select the upper intermediate learners. Accordingly, 25 participants for each of the experimental and control groups were selected. Memrise Mobile Application was employed during the treatment period for teaching the 504 Absolutely Essential Words book to the experimental group while the control group was instructed the textbook of 504 Absolutely Essential Words. The intervention continued for a period of 8 weeks. A researcher-made vocabulary test and Zhang and Li’s (2004) standardized questionnaire on autonomy were administered. For the qualitative data collection, a semi-structured interview was conducted to determine the participants’ attitudes. An Independent T-test was run the results of which revealed a significant difference between the two groups in vocabulary achievement. However, there was no significant difference between the two groups in autonomy. Moreover, based on the qualitative data it was concluded that the experimental group participants were more motivated holding a more positive attitude.

Analyzing Grammatical and Lexical Cohesion in A Legendary Short Story Noprival Sekolah Tinggi Ilmu Kesehatan Harapan Ibu Jambi, Jambi, Indonesiae-mail: noprival@gmail.com (corresponding author) Alfian Universitas Islam Negeri Sulthan Thaha Saifuddin Jambi, Jambi, Indonesiae-mail: alfian@uinjambi.ac.id Robi SomaUniversitas Jambi, Jambi, Indonesiae-mail: robisoma858@unja.ac.id Abstract:Despite the existence of many studies on cohesion in discourse, little scholarly work reports grammatical and lexical cohesion in a short story. To fill this gap, the present study investigates these two aspects of cohesion in a legendary short story entitled “After Twenty Years.” Halliday and Hasan’s (1976) theoretical framework of cohesion was used to guide the current study. We applied textual analysis as the appropriate approach to find out grammatical and lexical cohesion within the forms of text. The findings in the grammatical cohesions showed that reference had the highest frequency of the total cohesive devices. Also, under grammatical cohesion, conjunctions are found to exist. However, other aspects were not found within this short story, including substitution and ellipsis. On the other hand, repetition was dominantly used lexically among other aspects of lexical cohesion and sequentially followed by repetitions, hyponyms, synonyms, and antonyms. Only one aspect of lexical cohesion, the meronym, was not found. The overall results of the research indicated that the short story was a coherent discourse because both grammatical and lexical cohesion exist properly.

The purpose of this study was to analyze questioning activity uttered by EFL teachers in terms of contingency, convergence, and divergence in their interactions with students. Data were gathered from six chosen EFL teachers’ questions teaching to college students, hereupon were attentively transcribed and analyzed using Conversation Analysis (CA) principle. The results found that contingency questions were in the form of extending, disputing, transforming, and repeating former utterances through clarification, display, and referential questioning types. Apart from contingency, convergence appearing in teacher questions might flourish students’ responses through display questions. Meanwhile, divergent questions tend to enlarge the talks. The seemingly endless “questioning problems” improvising limitless further research studies therewith, employing more data sources in a different methodology as well as the perspective of analysis are suggested as it directly affects the teaching-learning process.

This study boasted some authors’ and editorial teams’ perspectives on academic integrity and adopting coherence properties, then using some Internet-based programs such as Mendeley, Grammar Checker, Turnitin, and coherence properties are considered as media options for 95 academicians such as authors, lecturers, even students, to produce acceptable works. With the correct and honesty of scientific works, then validity can be ensured. The data were figured out by adopting a descriptive qualitative design and compiled in consideration of 4 months, beginning from arranging pre-survey and post-survey in January to April 2022. The findings affirmed that Turnitin has many benefits to check sentences that consist of plagiarism, mark with different colors, and detect the source of website and copy-paste; to check plagiarism on the students’ tasks such as thesis, homework, article, and Mendeley presents some advantages to create a citation and reference manager used by the study and academician in citing references, especially from journals; to help them create bibliography and cite what they wrote; and to collect, arrange, share, and use the references related researches. Then Grammar Checker also provides some advantages, namely to check spelling, punctuation, and grammar structure automatically; to check the mistakes such as run-on sentences, accuracy, and consistency of the text. They employed the coherence pattern of deductive and inductive paragraphs containing complete elements of the claim, support, and warrant, including several strategies; definition strategy, comparative strategy, cause-effect, problem-solution strategy, means-end, listing, and partiting strategy. The results highlight that creating appropriate, standard scientific publications, adopting applicable coherence properties and contextual academic publishing were the requirements of an academician.

Understanding Frame on the Mindset of Orang Rimba Related to Pandemic Words Diana RozelinPostgraduate SchoolUIN Sulthan Thaha Saifuddin Jambi, Indonesiae-mail: dianarozelin@uinjambi.ac.id Abstract:During the Covid-19 pandemic, some terms appear to represent the coronavirus. For some people, Covid-19 terms were familiar, but not for others, such as Orang Rimba (OR). Some terms were weird and new because it was pronounced in the English language, such as 'social distancing', 'rapid test', and 'lockdown'. Meanwhile, the role of the government, in this case, BKSDA was very important to stop the spread of this virus within the OR community. This article not only talked about language but also the implementation of health. The purposes of this research were: 1) to find out the government's role through BKSDA in educating OR about Covid-19 terms and its preventing actions; 2) to find out the perception of OR toward the words of Covid-19. This research was conducted qualitatively. The technique for collecting the data was observation, interview, documentation, and recording. Meanwhile, for analyzing the data used descriptive techniques. The results were: 1) BKSDA office visited each OR group and gave directions and examples on how to wash hands, wear masks, keep their distance, and keep the environment clean. The suitable methods in teaching new things to OR are exemplary and habituation. 2) from 15 vocabulary words related to the Covid-19 pandemic, OR knew only 5 words.
