TEST-TAKING DIFFICULTIES IN ENGLISHSCORE READING ASSESSMENT: INSIGHTS FROM LEARNER EXPERIENCES
No full textReading comprehension is a crucial skill for English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners, particularly in the context of standardized language proficiency assessments. This study examines the test-taking challenges encountered by 30 non-English major university students during their initial experience with the EnglishScore reading test, an adaptive, mobile-based English assessment developed by the British Council. Employing a qualitative descriptive research design, the study collected data through open-ended reflections and analyzed them using a thematic analysis approach. Researchers identified five main categories of difficulty: (1) time pressure, (2) vocabulary limitation, (3) text complexity, (4) translation and interpretation challenges, and (5) test unfamiliarity and strategic disorientation. The findings indicate that learners experienced difficulties that were multidimensional and mutually reinforcing, as linguistic, cognitive, and procedural gaps converged to impede their performance. Limited vocabulary knowledge and dependence on literal translation strategies negatively impacted comprehension. Additionally, stringent time constraints and unfamiliar digital formats exacerbated anxiety and cognitive overload. These findings emphasize the need for comprehensive reading instruction that encompasses vocabulary development, strategic reading skills, and practice with simulated testing—particularly for EFL learners who are unfamiliar with high-stakes, time-restricted digital assessments. This study contributes to the growing body of literature on mobile-based reading assessment and highlights important implications for curriculum designers, educators, and test developers

Halliday’s Social Semiotics in Practice: Exploring the Ideology of Kato Nan Ampek in Minangkabau Verbal Tradition
No full textThis study investigates the speech system Kato Nan Ampek of the Minangkabau community through Halliday’s social semiotic framework. Kato Nan Ampek, comprising four speech forms—mandaki, manurun, mandata, and malereang—reflects Minangkabau values of politeness, hierarchy, and egalitarianism. The research aims to analyze how language structure (mood, modality, theme-rheme) constructs ideational, interpersonal, and textual meanings within traditional verbal communication. The study employs a qualitative descriptive method, collecting verbal texts from everyday Minangkabau interactions. Each utterance is examined using systemic functional linguistics (SFL), specifically analyzing the register components (field, tenor, and mode) and the three metafunctions. The findings reveal that each kato type corresponds to distinct social roles and communicative strategies. For example, Kato Mandaki is used when addressing elders, marked by indirect clause structures and low modality, signifying humility and respect. Kato Mandata, conversely, uses direct mood and informal particles to signify social equality and solidarity. Each speech act embeds cultural ideology and moral values mandaki enacts reverence for authority; manurun conveys affectionate instruction; mandata embodies communal harmony; and malereang expresses caution and politeness in formal interaction. These speech forms do not merely reflect cultural values but actively reproduce them through linguistic choices. The study affirms language as a semiotic resource that encodes ideology, social hierarchy, and identity. The paper contributes theoretically to local discourse studies by modeling how language is culturally shaped. Practically, it informs curriculum development, intergenerational language preservation, and revitalization strategies in the face of modernization. Future research should incorporate multimodal discourse (intonation, gesture), empirical dialogue data, and generational perceptions to deepen understanding of Kato Nan Ampek in a digital era
Digital Resistance in Indonesia: Critical Discourse and Sentiment Analysis of #KawalPutusanMK on X
No full textIn the contemporary digital era, political participation is increasingly mediated through online spaces, situating social media platforms as pivotal arenas for civic discourse and democratic contestation. This study investigates how Indonesian citizens engage with political issues through the hashtag #KawalPutusanMK on X, in response to decisions by the Constitutional Court. Employing a mixed-methods design, this study integrates computational sentiment analysis with Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) approach to analyze 3,508 user-generated posts collected between August and September 2024. Focusing on the textual (micro) level, this study examines lexical choices, emotional polarities, and metaphorical constructions that reflect public sentiment and their ideological stance. Findings show a predominance of negatively charged discourse, particularly targeting political elites and institutions. Users frequently employ emotionally loaded vocabulary and metaphors such as portraying democracy as a dying body, politics as theater, political elites as immoral rulers, and resistance as sacred duty serve to further delegitimize institutional authority. These linguistic features signal a broader erosion of public trust and dissatisfaction with institutional legitimacy. Additionally, the discourse constructs collective identity and mobilizes resistance, illustrating how online platforms function as tools for political engagement and symbolic struggle. By uncovering the rhetorical and affective strategies in digital protest, this study contributes to a deeper understanding of how language mediates public criticism and democratic participation in contemporary Indonesia. The findings have implications for media regulation, digital civic literacy, and policy development in a post-authoritarian context. Future research should focus on how digital platform discourse contributes to strengthening democratic resilience and promoting institutional accountabilit
