Analisis Kebutuhan Pengembangan Model Team-Based Project–Flipped Classroom dalam Pembelajaran Penulisan Ilmiah di Perguruan Tinggi
The ability to write scientific papers is an important competency that students must possess. However, teaching scientific writing in universities still faces various obstacles, such as students' poor ability to develop ideas, understand the structure of scientific papers, and apply theory to writing practice. This study aims to analyze the need to develop a Team-Based Project–Flipped Classroom (TBP-FC) model for teaching scientific writing in universities. The study used the Research and Development (R&D) method with the ADDIE model in the needs analysis stage. The study subjects consisted of 30 students and lecturers teaching Indonesian Language at Putra Indonesia University (YPTK) Padang. Data were collected through questionnaires and interviews. The results indicate that students require a learning model that is interactive, flexible, can be studied independently, and can help them understand the scientific writing process more effectively. Furthermore, lecturers also require a learning model that can increase student engagement in the learning process. The findings also reveal that existing learning methods are still predominantly teacher-centered and have not fully facilitated collaborative learning, critical thinking, and independent learning skills. Students expressed a strong need for learning materials that are accessible anytime and anywhere and support project-based activities. Based on the needs analysis, the Team-Based Project–Flipped Classroom model is deemed relevant for development as a solution for teaching scientific writing in universities.

Integrating Reading-Based Needs Analysis Into Syllabus Design And Material Development In English Language Education
Reading plays a central role in English language education, particularly in higher education contexts where learners are required to engage with complex academic texts. Despite its importance, reading instruction is often designed without sufficient consideration of learners’ actual reading needs, resulting in misalignment between instructional objectives, materials, and students’ academic demands. This study aims to explore how reading-based needs analysis can be integrated into syllabus design and material development in English language education. Employing a qualitative, curriculum-oriented research design, the study analyzes curriculum documents, instructional materials, and reading-related learning practices within an undergraduate English language education program. Data were derived from document analysis, classroom observations, students’ reading-related tasks, questionnaires, and reflective records. The findings indicate that students initially experienced difficulties in understanding academic texts, applying reading strategies effectively, and engaging confidently in reading activities. After the integration of reading-based needs analysis into syllabus design and material development, improvements were observed in students’ reading engagement, comprehension processes, strategy use, and attitudes toward academic reading. The revised syllabus emphasized progressive reading skills, while the developed materials incorporated structured reading stages, explicit strategy instruction, and discipline-related texts. These findings suggest that reading-based needs analysis serves as a crucial foundation for developing responsive syllabi and effective instructional materials that address learners’ academic reading demands.

Study of Sign in The Naruto Film: A Semiotic Analysis
This research aims to explore in depth the use of signs in the Naruto film through a semiotic perspective. The researcher used a qualitative research method with a descriptive approach, which allows for in depth analysis of the meaning contained in each visual and verbal element. Data were obtained from various key scenes, dialogues between characters, and visual elements that are significantly relevant to the storyline. Through systematic data collection, this study focuses on how these signs are used to shape the narrative and convey specific messages in the Naruto film. The analysis process was conducted with reference to the semiotic theory of Charles Sanders Peirce and Roland Barthes. Peirce's theory is used to identify signs in the form of icons, indexes, and symbols, while Barthes' theory is used to interpret the meaning of signs through three levels, namely denotation, connotation, and myth. The results of the study revealed that the signs found not only have basic meanings according to the context of the story, but also contain cultural and moral messages. These layered meanings play an important role in enriching the story, building an emotional atmosphere, and conveying cultural values to the audience. Thus, this research confirms that semiotic studies are an effective approach to understanding the multimodal communication that occurs in Naruto, especially in relation to the delivery of moral messages and cultural values.

An Analysis of Speaking Difficulties Among University EFL Students
Speaking proficiency remains one of the most challenging components of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learning at the university level. This study investigates the linguistic, psychological, and environmental factors contributing to speaking difficulties among university EFL students. Using a mixed-methods descriptive design, data were collected through questionnaires, speaking performance assessments, interviews, and classroom observations. Quantitative findings show that linguistic limitations—particularly restricted vocabulary (M = 4.21), inaccurate pronunciation (M = 4.07), and grammatical inaccuracies (M = 3.98)—constitute the most dominant challenges. Psychological factors also play a significant role, with high speaking anxiety (M = 4.15) and fear of negative evaluation negatively correlating with performance (r = –0.63). Environmental and pedagogical conditions further intensify these difficulties, as large class sizes, limited speaking opportunities, and teacher-centered instruction reduce authentic oral interaction. Qualitative data support these findings by revealing recurrent anxiety, limited spontaneous speech, and restricted classroom engagement. The results highlight that speaking difficulties arise from the interplay of linguistic weaknesses, affective constraints, and contextual barriers. The study recommends integrated pedagogical approaches that strengthen linguistic competence, reduce anxiety, and provide more opportunities for meaningful communication to support students’ oral proficiency development.
Forensic Linguistic Examination of Illocutionary Acts in the Police BAP of the “EN” Murder Case in Muara Bungo
This study examines the illocutionary acts embedded in the police interrogation transcript (Berita Acara Pemeriksaan/BAP) of WD, the suspect in the murder of EN in Muara Bungo. Using Searle’s taxonomy of speech acts, the research identifies assertives, directives, expressives, and commissives as the dominant forms shaping the interaction between the interrogator and the suspect. The analysis reveals that the interrogator consistently relies on high-pressure directives that control narrative flow, restrict the suspect’s discursive freedom, and guide the production of legally relevant information. In contrast, the suspect’s responses exhibit a pattern of assertive confessions, mitigation strategies through reported speech, emotional expressions, and moral positioning. These linguistic choices not only construct his version of events but also function as strategic attempts to negotiate responsibility and reshape the legal interpretation of his actions. The findings indicate that BAP statements are not neutral reflections of spoken interaction but structured linguistic events influenced by institutional power, psychological dynamics, and communicative strategies. This study highlights the importance of forensic linguistic analysis in evaluating the credibility, voluntariness, and evidentiary value of interrogation transcripts in Indonesian legal settings. It also contributes to understanding how language functions as both evidence and a tool for shaping legal realities.
The Struggle Out of Isolation Girl As Seen in Delia Owens’ Where The Crawdads Sing
This study explores the psychological impact of isolation and alienation as experienced by the protagonist, Kya Clark, in Delia Owens’ Where the Crawdads Sing. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, this research applies Erik Erikson’s theory of psychosocial development and the literary concepts outlined in Akhmedov’s Introduction to Literary Theory (2020). The analysis reveals how Kya’s prolonged isolation profoundly influences her identity formation, emotional resilience, and ability to establish trust and intimacy. By examining Kya’s journey through Erikson’s psychosocial stages—especially Trust vs. Mistrust, Identity vs. Role Confusion, and Intimacy vs. Isolation—this study identifies the psychological struggles and eventual growth of a girl forced into solitude by abandonment and social prejudice. The findings show that isolation, while a source of deep psychological trauma, also becomes a catalyst for Kya’s self-reliance, creativity, and emotional maturity. Nature functions as her symbolic mother and therapeutic space, providing the security and acceptance denied by human society. Owens’ novel illustrates how alienation can produce both emotional fragility and inner strength, showing the resilience of the human spirit amid social rejection and personal loss.

The aim of this research is to examine students’ opinions on the role of DT in enhancing ESP learning and to identify the tools they frequently employ. A mixed methods design was applied with twelve participants from different study programs. Quantitative data were obtained through a Likert-scale survey on perceptions and digital tool usage, complemented by brief interviews for qualitative insights. Results indicate strong support for DT integration: 91.7% of students agreed or strongly agreed that DT enhances ESP learning, with no negative responses recorded. WhatsApp and YouTube were universally used (100%), followed by Zoom (91.7%), Google Classroom (66.7%), and Moodle (50%). Use of ESP-specific simulators was less common (33.3%). Students highlighted ease of access, interaction, and flexibility as key benefits, while limited exposure to specialized ESP tools was noted as a challenge. The study concludes that students hold positive views of DT in ESP, yet further investment in domain-specific applications is required to optimize learning outcomes.
