Motivation is an essential part of the learning process especially learning a language to achieve the desired goals. This study aims to examine the English major first-year students' motivation for learning English. The method employed in this study is a case study method. The participants were 50 students from the English Department at Indonesia University of Education. The questionnaire was used as the instrument to collect the data. The findings revealed that including having significant differences between integrative and instrumental motivation, students' motivation in learning English is high. Besides, students are more instrumentally motivated than integrative motivation. Hence, teachers should increase the students' integrative motivation through raising their interests in the culture of the target language, such as giving information about people and lifestyle, geography, literature of the English countries through visual and even organizing group sharing for learners who have been to English speaking countries.
The murder of Jamal Khashoggi in the consulate of Saudi Arabia in Turkey is still controversial. The judgment relies on valid and reliable evidence. This study is vital due to investigating a murder case based on pragmatic meanings as language evidence broadcasted in media. This research employs Grice’s conversational implicature to investigate the murder of Jamal Khashoggi by analyzing the exposed recorded tapes of Jamal Khashoggi and the accused inside the consulate, the utterances of Khadija Changiz, the fiancée of Jamal Khashoggi, and Adel al Jubeir’s statements, the foreign minister of Saudi Arabia as a representative of the Saudi Arabian. The design of this research is a case study, and content analysis is used to analyze the data based on Mayring’s (2000) qualitative content analysis. Based on the findings of the study, the recorded tapes of Jamal Khashoggi and the accused are outlined as ambiguous language. Saudi Arabia denied the murder by saving face, misleading the hearer, and skipping the questions, but later on, affirmed the murder and promised to bring justice. Hence, the results of this study will affect the verdict on the judicial decree, and the accusations will be prosecuted, and justice will be served to Jamal Khashoggi.
