Abstract

This study investigates the semantic functions of emojis in computer-mediated communication (CMC) across platforms such as WhatsApp, Twitter, and Instagram. Drawing on a library research method supported by selected conversation samples and relevant scholarly literature, the research explores how emojis contribute to meaning-making in digital interactions. Findings reveal that emojis perform diverse semantic roles, including emotional amplification, lexical substitution, tone modulation, and social signaling. Rather than merely decorative, emojis function as context-sensitive linguistic elements that enhance or replace textual meaning. However, their interpretation is shaped by various factors such as platform norms, interpersonal relationships, and cultural background, often resulting in ambiguity or miscommunication. The study concludes that emojis are dynamic, pragmatic tools in digital discourse that reflect the ongoing evolution of language in online environments. Their strategic use highlights the importance of multimodal literacy in contemporary communication.

Abstract

This mini research Introducing TOEFL and Strategies for Mastering the Listening Section: A Learning Program at SMA Negeri 1 Siantar was conducted with 21 eleventh-grade students (Class XI) as participants. The main objective of this study is to provide a structured and available step in preparing students to face academic English requirements, especially the TOEFL Listening section. The method used in this study consists of three stages: preparation, implementation, and evaluation. In the preparation phase, students were introduced to the TOEFL format and the types of listening questions. In the implementation phase, students were trained using listening strategies such as note-taking, predicting content, and managing time. In the evaluation phase, students’ progress and performance were assessed. The results showed a significant improvement in students’ familiarity with the test and their listening comprehension skills. This program highlights the importance of early training and strategic learning in preparing high school students for academic English proficiency tests.
