Effective communication through the medium of indigenous languages serves as an invaluable instrument that facilitates every language’s right to information during pandemics. Different online media outlets used Nigerian languages to disseminate information that could enhance the success of public health measures targeted at mitigating the impact of COVID-19. However, not all of the audience absorbed the messages positively. This study attempts to analyze the use of hate speech in the comments of readers of Hausa online news items on Legit Hausa and BBC Hausa that responded to news items on COVID-19. To achieve this, the readers' comments were purposively sampled and analyzed based on the pragmatic principles of politeness and peaceful communication. In addition, systemic functional grammar was used to explicate the grammatical features of the analyzed linguistic elements of the comments written in Hausa. It was found that the comments were not only replete with inflammatory language – stripping the users of the status of communicative humanizer – inimical to preventive measures against COVID-19 but also capable of widening the opinion divide. Furthermore, most comments analyzed flout the principles of Hausa spelling and sentence construction. The study thus recommends that linguistic activists should consistently advocate for the use of Nigerian languages that conform to linguistic norms and the principles of peaceful communication that would curtail misinformation and division in the course of pandemic control.

Personal and social deixis have been the key factors in how people can engage in a conversation or discourse. From Hamdaoui (2015), it is known that deixis is one of the linguistic techniques that politicians emphasize a lot. Any linguistic theory can study it, but pragmatics must since it informs the analyst about the context of language production, including who is speaking, to whom, when, and where (Triki, 2010). Thus, this study used personal and social deixis theory in modern linguistics to answer several research questions, such as what deixis the candidates use and what are the effects. The research aims to see how each candidate effectively draws people’s attention in a presidential debate through the analysis of social deixis. Kamala Harris chooses to be more populist by using expressions such as exclusive ‘we’ or ‘us’ and ‘you’. Meanwhile, Mike Pence focuses on presenting himself and Trump through the use of expressions such as I and inclusive ‘we’ or ‘us’. Moreover, the distant relationship with Trump’s Administration that Kamala Harris has shown to the public can be a factor in how Americans see Joe and Kamala as different figures from their predecessors.

This article critically analyzes Golding's Lord of the Flies to investigate how human nature was allegorically depicted by constructing an almost parallel fictional world to his contemporary time. In this paper, I argued that Golding allegorically exhibited the basic human nature of his contemporary time by experimenting with the schoolboys on the Pacific Ocean, which unveiled the brutal and uncivilized nature of schoolboys, and that such activities as depicted in the novel resembled the brutal and savage nature of the men of his time. The methodology I employed in this study was a close analysis of the primary text to examine how Golding used allegory to uncover the basic nature of human beings, and I analyzed secondary resources related to the study to support my arguments. The analysis identified that Golding depicted savagery and animalistic human nature through allegory, which questioned the traditional understanding of human nature as civilized and moral, and his experience of involving himself in the war and working as a school teacher helped him in reflecting such brutal and uncivilized events of his time. He provided a wider space and various layers of secondary meanings for characters, setting, and events in the story, which resonated in many respects with the events of his contemporary time. In addition, this study unpacked the fact that savagery existed inside the human heart and manifested in a lack of guardianship and civilizational forces in human beings. This paper will be useful in exploring the novel for a better understanding of human nature.

The unsatisfactory results of the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) in Indonesia related to reading become the urge for analysing students' reading comprehension. The objective of this research was to analyse the reading comprehension of Grade IV students at one of the private primary schools in Palembang by using a parenting context. The parenting context was implemented in the form of colouring picture stories. Further, this research employed descriptive qualitative method. Data collection techniques used were tests, questionnaires, and documentation. As regards sampling technique, a purposive sampling was applied, based on the class criteria of Grade IV students who enrolled the offline class. It should be noted that this study was conducted after the peak of pandemic crisis but most schools still enrolled online class. Finally, the results of this study demonstrate that students perceive they are most likely to learn and be motivated in learning English through colouring parenting-related pictures.

Receiving insults virtually is one of the drawbacks of living with cutting-edge technology. Drawing on insults, the study’s objectives are to examine the verbal responses toward insults and the language features employed by the celebrities in the ‘Celebrity Read Mean Tweets’ segment on the Jimmy Kimmel show on Youtube. The data are verbal responses by 50 participants taken from the talkshow’s account. The analysis was carried out qualitatively by adopting the frameworks of Bond and Venus’ verbal responses accompanied by the gender language features of Lakoff and Coates. The results suggested that verbal responses were mainly employed to resist the insults. The strategies of resisting were conducted mostly via antinomies, correcting, and swearing. To signalize their acceptance, the speakers mostly appreciate the quality of the insult. Other purposes of the verbal responses were to ignore the insults which were done predominantly via digression. Subsequently, the highly employed language feature by the celebrities was lexical hedges/fillers and harsh words/swearing. Most of the features were used altogether by both genders, except for empty adjectives which were discovered from female responses. The results of this study can help explore strategies to tackle insults and future research related to verbal responses.

This research analyzes how the narrative structure of Poe’s tales, namely “The Black Cat” and “The Murders in the Rue Morgue,” can be imposed with a certain idea about Self or the nature of human subjectivity. Poe’s tales illustrate that human subjectivity consists of two contrasting tendencies for destructiveness/imagination and reflection/cognition. They also show that the Self is always in tension with the Other. To counter this tension, Poe’s tales suggest that the Self should take a moment to reflect upon its subjectivity and let the Other reveal its alterity before interacting with it so that a more harmonious, or at least less problematic, relationship between the two can be established. Reading the selected stories using the Barthesian perspective, this paper sees this imposition as an act of myth-making which in itself is always ideological since there is a certain political and/or economic agenda driving it. Hence, the myth of Self in Poe’s tales needs to be demystified, a process through which Poe’s idea of Self is unmasked as his cries for those in power to take a moment of reflection about the mess they had put into the 1840s United States political-economic condition. This result implies that myths are not always constructed by the ruling class to justify its domination, but can also be written by the oppressed group to voice its concern. In this way, this paper subscribes to the Foucauldian notion of power.

This study focuses on the correlation between vocabulary complexity mastery and students’ speaking skill. The purpose of this research was to find out whether vocabulary complexity mastery can influence students’ speaking skills. In finding out the correlation between variables and the degree of correlation, the researcher used quantitative research methods with a correlational research design. This study involved 25 students who were in class XI Nursing major. In collecting research data, the researcher used a vocabulary complexity test (PVLT) of 30 questions. Meanwhile, to find out the speaking skill, the researcher used speaking instruction (Role-play; Cued Task) which involves three assessors. Based on the results of the analysis of the calculation through SPSS, the calculation results obtained the value of Sig. (2-tailed) = 0.0000.005, which indicates that Ha is accepted and H0 is rejected. Therefore, there is a significant correlation between vocabulary complexity mastery and students’ speaking skill.

Using coursebooks in language learning is a crucial means of obtaining knowledge. This study focused on Indonesia, delves into examining the first edition of Cambridge University Press's English in Mind: Student's Starter Book through content analysis. The research objective is to uncover the book's module and lesson unit templates. The analysis concentrates on two of the four modules and their accompanying lesson units. Findings indicate that the module template is consistent and includes three significant components: topics and learning outcomes, lesson units, and assessment. The template for lesson units, however, displays a certain degree of variability regarding the number of sections and the content of learning tasks. This variance arises from the necessary scaffolding processes to achieve the unit's intended learning outcomes. Examining coursebook content through content analysis is crucial in understanding the language learning process and determining the effectiveness of instructional materials. In conclusion, the results of this study contribute to the advancement of language education by highlighting the significance of coursebook analysis in evaluating the quality and consistency of language instructional materials.

English literature teaching in Bangladeshi universities has remained to be a frustrating experience for the faculties. This “frustration” is often attributed to the poor understanding of “the intellectually unequipped” and ‘linguistically unprepared’ students. This study, to understand the faculty frustration, investigates the literature teaching approaches practiced in the classes. The study also examines the role of “linguistic skill” as the learning outcome in the lesson plan of the course teachers. Finally, the paper finds that literature teaching at the tertiary level in Bangladesh does not accommodate pedagogical approaches and the linguistic skill of the students is not given the required priority in the teaching process. This paper, therefore, recommends an Interactive Approach in which language is to be integrated as one of the learning outcomes.
