Diandra Parta Wisnu Dewangga, Suhartawan Budianto, Kusuma Wijaya
Abstract: In discourse, speech is not only considered as a linguistic phenomenon but also as a means to maintain or change power relations in society. One of the clearest examples of the use of speech in discourse to change social… change occurred in The Black Civil Rights Movement from 1955 to 1968 in the United States. Based on the interest in studying Malcolm X's speech further, the thesis writer decided to analyze Malcolm X's speech at the Oxford Union Debate using Fairclough's Critical Discourse Analysis framework with a qualitative method that will focus on linguistic issues as part of social and humanitarian issues. The results of this study showed deconstruction result of Malcolm X's speech text by analyzing various linguistic features from the dimensions of text practice (including positive and negative lexical items, key terms of ideology and belief, modality, and rhetorical devices), discursive practice (including intertextuality and shared knowledge), and sociocultural (including formality and personal pronouns), then continued with a discussion of the relationship between discourse, power, and ideology and the role of Malcolm X's speech in the historical context at that time. It can be concluded that Malcolm X's speech highlights his advocacy for revolutionary justice and self-defense for oppressed black people. He also challenged the power structures of his time, opposing segregation and exposing the hypocrisy of the American and Western governments with white supremacy and colonialism behind the mask of democracy.

CNN US and CNN Indonesia’s Textual Practice in Framing Humanitarian Narratives: A Critical Discourse Analysis

Dyah Ayu Ratna Jelita, Suhartawan Budianto
Abstract: This study examines the role of textual practice (micro-structure) in shaping humanitarian narratives in news coverage of the Israel-Palestine conflict by CNN US and CNN Indonesia. Employing Fairclough’s Critical Discourse… urse Analysis (CDA), the research identifies key linguistic features, including lexical choices, sentence structure, modality, rhetorical devices, and pronoun usage, that contribute to the ideological framing of news articles. The findings indicate that CNN US employs neutral and euphemistic language, passive constructions, and hedging devices to maintain journalistic objectivity, whereas CNN Indonesia utilizes emotionally charged language, active voice, and definitive claims to frame the conflict with a strong pro-Palestinian stance. These textual differences underscore the influence of language in constructing public perceptions of humanitarian crises.

Faiz Al Abid, Balqis Anis Wardah, Ok Silvia Hervina Damanik, Nabila Aulia Putri, Yani Lubis
Abstract: This research comprehensively examines the use of relative pronouns in English and their implications for language learning, both in academic and practical contexts. Relative pronouns such as who, whom, which, that, and… whose are essential grammatical elements in complex sentence construction and play a vital role in producing cohesive writing. Through a methodological approach combining descriptive analysis, literature studies, and field research involving 100 English major students, this research investigates various aspects of relative pronoun usage, including grammatical functions, contexts of use, common error patterns, and effective learning strategies. Research findings reveal that 75% of learner difficulties are related to misunderstandings in distinguishing between the use of who and whom, as well as confusion in the placement of that and which. Further analysis shows a significant correlation between mastery of relative pronouns and academic writing ability. This research also identifies and proposes a series of innovative learning strategies, including contextual approaches and corpus-based learning, which have proven effective in improving the understanding and use of relative pronouns. These findings provide substantial contributions to the development of English language learning materials and offer practical implications for teachers in designing more effective teaching strategies for the topic of relative pronouns.

Pembelajaran Akidah-Akhlak Dengan Pendekatan Kurikulum Berbasis Cinta

Wafiq Azizah, M. Ridwan Nur, Rita Puspita, Abdullah Abdullah
Abstract: Degradasi moral peserta didik di era digital yang ditandai meningkatnya intoleransi, perundungan, krisis empati, serta melemahnya integritas sosial menunjukkan adanya persoalan mendasar dalam praktik pendidikan nilai. Dalam… lam pembelajaran Akidah Akhlak, orientasi yang masih dominan pada aspek kognitif dan normatif belum sepenuhnya diimbangi dengan penguatan dimensi afektif dan internalisasi nilai secara sistematis dalam desain kurikulum. Kesenjangan antara penguasaan konsep keagamaan dan manifestasi moral dalam kehidupan nyata menjadi problem epistemologis dan pedagogis yang memerlukan rekonstruksi. Penelitian ini bertujuan merumuskan kerangka konseptual Kurikulum Berbasis Cinta sebagai paradigma alternatif dalam pembelajaran Akidah Akhlak. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif berbasis studi kepustakaan dengan analisis hermeneutik terhadap konsep mahabbah dalam tradisi intelektual Islam, khususnya pemikiran Al-Ghazali, serta dikomparasikan dengan teori pendidikan humanistik modern. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahwa Kurikulum Berbasis Cinta memiliki legitimasi teologis dan koherensi pedagogis dalam mengintegrasikan dimensi kognitif, afektif, dan spiritual secara utuh. Kebaruan penelitian ini terletak pada pemosisian cinta bukan sekadar sebagai nilai moral, melainkan sebagai prinsip epistemologis dan kurikuler yang menstrukturkan tujuan, proses, dan evaluasi pembelajaran secara sistematis dan transformatif. The moral decline of students in the di’Ital era, reflected in rising intolerance, bullying, diminished empathy, and weakened social integrity, indicates a fundamental problem in contemporary value education. In Akidah Akhlak instruction, learning practices remain predominantly cognitive and normative, while affective development and systematic value internalization are insufficiently integrated into curricular design. This gap between conceptual mastery of religious teachings and their moral enactment in lived experience represents an epistemological and pedagogical challenge requiring reconstruction. This study aims to formulate a conceptual framework for a Love-Based Curriculum as an alternative paradigm in Akidah Akhlak education. Employing a qualitative library-based approach, the study applies hermeneutic analysis to the concept of mahabbah within the Islamic intellectual tradition, particularly in the thought of Al-Ghazali, while comparatively engaging modern humanistic educational theory. The findings demonstrate that a Love-Based Curriculum possesses theological legitimacy and pedagogical coherence in integrating cognitive, affective, and spiritual dimensions of learning. The novelty of this study lies in positioning love not merely as a moral value but as an epistemological and curricular principle that structures the aims, processes, and evaluation of Akidah Akhlak instruction in a systematic and transformative manner.

A Theme–Rheme Analysis of International News Reports on Russia’s LGBT Policy

M. Asril Marpaung
Abstract: This study examines how thematic organization contributes to the construction of state power and social positioning in international news discourse. Drawing on Halliday’s Systemic Functional Linguistics, with a specific… c focus on Theme–Rheme structure, the study analyses a BBC news report published in November 2023 on the Russian Supreme Court’s decision to designate the so-called “international LGBT movement” as an extremist organization. Using a qualitative textual approach, the text is segmented into clauses and analyzed to identify patterns of thematic choice and progression. The findings reveal a consistent foregrounding of institutional actors, such as state authorities and legal bodies, in Theme position when reporting legal actions and policy decisions, while members of the LGBT community and civil society figures are predominantly thematized in clauses expressing reactions, personal experiences, and anticipated consequences. This asymmetric thematic distribution constructs a discourse in which state authority is positioned as the primary agent of action, whereas affected social groups are framed as respondents to institutional power. The study demonstrates that ideological meanings in news discourse may be realized implicitly through grammatical organization rather than explicit evaluative language, and it highlights the value of Theme–Rheme analysis for examining power relations in contemporary international news reporting.
