Abstract

The importance of English as a second language (L2) has heightened in the era of globalization, with individuals worldwide striving for proficiency in academic, professional, and social contexts. This study investigates the influence of watching English-language songs on L2 acquisition, with a particular focus on psycholinguistic aspects. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach, the data consists of words, phrases, and sentences extracted from selected songs such as "Happier," "All I Want," "Glimpse of Us," and "Oops!... Did It Again." Through participant observation, researchers evaluate the impact of these songs on comprehension, pronunciation, listening skills, and reading abilities. Interviews further delve into the research objectives, supported by recordings and note-taking. The analysis, utilizing reflective interpretive methods, draws upon the experiences of both researchers and respondents. Oral data undergoes transcription, classification, reduction, and verification, which are then organized into tables for interpretation. The findings indicate that exposure to English songs enhances L2 proficiency, particularly in improving understanding of meaning, vocabulary acquisition, pronunciation accuracy, listening acuity, and reading fluency. These results hold significant implications for language teaching practices and future research on L2 acquisition. Integrating English songs into curricula provides engaging avenues for learners to develop listening, pronunciation, vocabulary, and reading skills. Incorporating diverse, authentic language materials, such as songs, enriches learning environments by reflecting real-life language usage. The study highlights the value of qualitative methodologies, such as participant observation and interviews, in comprehending the psycholinguistic processes involved in L2 acquisition. Future research could explore various song types, genres, and proficiency levels, while also assessing the long-term impacts of music-based language teaching. In conclusion, these findings contribute to evidence-based language teaching practices and advance our understanding of the cognitive mechanisms involved in L2 acquisition

Abstract

In the digital era, commodity advertisements on social media use persuasive language to create associations within user communities. This research examines the role of linguistics on influencing community associations on social media through commodity advertisements, using a socio-semiotic study approach. By employing socio-semiotic linguistic theory, the study analyzes how word choices, symbols, and connotations used in advertisements can shape social perceptions and community identities. This research was qualitative in nature. The data in this study consists of words, phrases, and symbols, while the data sources were commodity advertisements on social media. The method used to collect the data is content analysis. The researcher listens to the words, symbols, and the connotative meanings embedded in the advertisements. The data was analyzed using a socio-semiotic approach, focusing on the linguistic and symbolic elements within the advertisements. The study finds that carefully crafted language in commodity advertisements significantly influences consumer perceptions, strengthens social bonds, and shapes collective identities. Moreover, the findings from this research suggest that the choice of words or phrases in advertisements for each commodity must create a positive impression in the public's consciousness. Thus, beyond simply informing, the language used should also touch the emotional aspect of the audience, prompting them to purchase the product to fulfill their needs. This study contributes to the understanding of how language influences consumer behavior and provides practical implications for marketers in creating more persuasive advertisements
