The purpose of this study was to undertake a thorough study of a news article entitled "31 Policemen Questioned in Kanjuruhan Stadium Tragedy" by looking at both its contextual and textual elements. To analyze the data, the research used a content analysis and discourse analysis design. While the contextual study relied on Dell Hymes' ethnography of communication, notably the Speaking Model (Hymes, 1974), the textual analysis concentrated on the coherence devices given by Halliday and Hasan (1976). All essential elements, such as the setting, participants, ends, act order, key, instruments, and norms, were identified, according to the contextual analysis. The four content categories of reference, substitution, ellipsis, and conjunction were found in the textual analysis; however, the article did not fully contain all sub-categories.
This study aims at investigating the way Digital Citizenship Competencies (DCC) are incorporated into digital learning materials (DLM) in a web-based learning platform called myenglishstep.com. By compiling 115 DLM of 7th up to 9th Grade and utilizing the content analysis method, the finding shows skills dimension is found to be the highest incorporation, followed by the knowledge dimension. In contrast, the attitudes and values dimension showed low occurrences compared to the previous dimension. Knowledge, skills, and attitudes dimensions of DCC are mostly incorporated in all DLM categories through tasks, contents, and visuals, while values dimensions are incorporated through contents for the most part and tasks. Therefore, these findings are expected to raise people's awareness of digital citizenship competencies and aid teachers and stakeholders in providing reliable and varied digital learning materials.
This research aimed to investigate the incorporation of the 4C skills in the lesson plans and to analyze how the 4C skills were implemented into the lesson plans of English for grade eight.

This study aims to find out the forms used in citation practices of ELESP undergraduate students’ theses at Universitas Negeri Jakarta. This research uses both quantitative and qualitative methods, which employ a corpus-based analysis. The analysis is conducted by adopting Hyland (1999)’s framework of citation category and citation integration as proposed by Swales (1990). The data source of this research consists of 50 theses in English Language Teaching (ELT), especially the introduction and literature review chapters, written by ELESP undergraduate students published from 2018 to 2022 in the repository of UNJ. The results revealed that ELESP undergraduate students frequently use summary and generalization in the introduction and literature review chapter. Furthermore, the use of integral and non-integral forms in the two chapters have nearly the same frequency, which indicates that the students focus on the actions of researchers as well as emphasize the research itself in the cited sources.
