This study analyzes speech acts used by students in academic and social interactions. Speech acts are part of pragmatic studies that describe how language is used in everyday communication. This study aims to identify the forms, functions, and differences in the characteristics of speech acts in both contexts. The methods used in this study include observation, interviews, recording, transcription, and literature review by analyzing various relevant literature. The results of the study indicate that in academic interactions, students more often use representative and directive speech acts to convey information and give instructions, while in social interactions, they use more expressive and commissive speech acts to build relationships and express emotions. Factors that influence these differences include the context of the situation, relationships with interlocutors, the influence of media and technology, and cultural background. The conclusion of this study confirms that understanding speech acts is very important in improving the effectiveness of student communication in both academic and social environments. The implications of this study can be used to develop better communication strategies in higher education environments and increase students' awareness of the use of appropriate language in various contexts.

This study aims to gain a deeper understanding of the gay community, including their identity, social dynamics, and the challenges they face. In addition, this study aims to identify factors that influence public perception of the gay community and how stigma and discrimination develop. The method used is qualitative, which is a research approach that aims to understand the meaning, experience, and perspective of individuals or groups in a particular context. The data in this study were obtained from the analysis of the podcast "Close The Door" by Deddy Corbuzier which features an interview with a content creator who is part of the LGBT (gay) community.

The results of the study are expected to provide a clearer understanding of the existence of the gay community in the social structure, as well as assist policy makers in designing regulations that are more inclusive and support diversity.

The aim of this research is to determine the process of developing teaching materials for observation report texts in the Merdeka phase D curriculum assisted by Lectora Inspire in class VIII SMP and to determine the feasibility of the resulting product. This research uses research and development methods using the Borg and Gall procedure with stages of potential and problems, data collection, product design, product validation, product revision, and limited trials. The feasibility value is calculated using a Likert scale based on the results of material expert validation, design expert validation, and study teacher assessment. The material development process was carried out to add several contributions in developing the existing observation report text material to be better. The research results show that the product resulting from the research "Development of Teaching Materials for Writing Text Reports on Observations in the Merdeka Curriculum Phase D for Class VIII Students of SMP Negeri 1 Bintang Bayu for the 2023/2024 Academic Year" is included in the "Very Good" category. This is based on the results of validation and material experts which were carried out twice with a score of 89% in the "Very Good" category and media expert validation twice with a score of 93% in the "Very good" category. Thus, the product is said to be suitable for use in the learning process.
