Further analysis is needed to understand the usage of metadiscourse in news article, as it will contribute to comprehending metadiscourse usage. The study aims to analyse metadiscourse on news article about Covid 19 impact on education. The objective of the study is to understand how interactional metadiscourse resources on news articles can be transcribed in terms of hedges and boosters, attitude-markers and engagement-markers, and Personal Markers. The study is conducted using Hyland (2005) metadiscourse strategies. The researchers decided to use interactional metadiscourse markers to analyse the text as interactional provides a clearer understanding. The study found that the attitude marker is the highest content found in the news article, a percentage of 45.45%. The second highest rate of frequency is hedges and boosters throughout the article. Not only that, the study found that the article contains all interactional markers usage in the text.
