Abstract

This study investigates how lexical ambiguity and irony contribute to meaning construction in the dialogue of Barbie (2023). It aims to identify selected forms of lexical ambiguity, describe the types of irony used in the film, and explain how both linguistic devices construct social criticism related to gender, identity, and power. The study employed a qualitative descriptive design supported by directed qualitative content analysis. The data consisted of selected English dialogue exchanges from the film, verified through the screenplay and subtitles. The data were analyzed using a semantic–pragmatic approach through identification, classification, contextual interpretation, and coding in a data matrix. The findings show that lexical ambiguity is primarily represented through polysemy and literal–figurative extension, particularly in expressions such as perfect, real, dying, and played with. Meanwhile, verbal, situational, and dramatic irony are used to reveal contradictions in beauty ideals, gender roles, corporate empowerment, and masculine entitlement. The analysis also indicates that expressions such as ordinary, Dreamhouse, and box function mainly as evaluative or symbolic re-framing within ironic contexts rather than as direct cases of lexical ambiguity. Overall, the findings demonstrate that the dialogue in Barbie functions not only to create humor and support narrative development, but also to question fixed assumptions about femininity, identity, social power, and institutional control.

Abstract

Speaking proficiency remains a significant challenge for secondary school students due to limited vocabulary mastery, low self-confidence, and insufficient opportunities for authentic oral practice. This article reports the implementation of an English Speaking Club program designed through a project-based approach to strengthen students’ speaking competence through gradual digital content production over four weeks. The program employed a descriptive qualitative framework involving classroom observation, guided mentoring sessions, and analysis of students’ outputs in the form of videos and podcasts. The instructional sequence was progressively structured, covering self-introduction and daily activities, hobbies and future career aspirations, school description in a podcast format, and storytelling performance. The findings indicate observable improvement in fluency, pronunciation clarity, confidence in public performance, organization of ideas, and expressive delivery. The transformation extended beyond linguistic development to include affective growth, particularly in students’ willingness to communicate spontaneously. The content-production-based approach fostered active participation and created meaningful learning experiences by positioning students as producers of authentic communicative performances. This program demonstrates potential as an alternative model for contextual and practice-oriented speaking instruction aimed at sustaining communicative competence development in secondary education settings.
