Abstract

This research investigates the impact of social media usage on language development in adolescents. The study focuses on how frequent exposure to digital platforms affects vocabulary acquisition, language comprehension, and communication skills. It also examines the influence of online interactions on the development of informal and formal language styles among teenagers. Using a mixed-methods approach, including surveys and in-depth interviews, the findings highlight both the positive and negative effects of social media on language use. While social media fosters creativity and expands vocabulary through constant exposure to diverse content, it also presents challenges such as the informalization of language and potential negative impacts on grammar and writing skills. This research underscores the importance of balancing online interactions with real-world communication and parental guidance in shaping healthy language development in the digital age.

This research investigates how effective the Problem Based Learning (PBL) method is at improving students’ understanding of reading through narrative texts in SMP GKPS 13 Sibarou. The study was motivated by the finding that numerous eighth-grade students struggled with grasping text organization and main concepts in their reading materials.

The research included 14 students who were paired up, and it utilized worksheets, observation forms, reading comprehension assessments, and documentation as tools. Activities were crafted to encourage students to recognize the organization of narrative texts, apply past tense verbs, and derive meaning through guided inquiry. The reading aloud method aided learners in enhancing their pronunciation, fluency, and understanding of the texts. The findings indicated a significant improvement in students' narrative text comprehension, along with heightened confidence, involvement, and critical thinking skills. The incorporation of PBL encouraged teamwork and a more profound engagement with the content. This method is advantageous for English educators looking to develop meaningful, student-focused learning experiences.

Abstract

Kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat ini dimotivasi oleh kemampuan mendengarkan siswa yang masih relatif rendah di sekolah Mars terkait apa itu TOEFL dan kurangnya pemahaman tentang keterampilan mendengarkan, terutama dalam memahami audio bahasa Inggris dengan aksen asing, kecepatan tinggi, dan variasi pertanyaan yang kompleks baik secara formal maupun akademis seperti yang umum ditemukan di bagian mendengarkan TOEFL. Kesulitan ini disebabkan oleh kurangnya paparan terhadap pemahaman keterampilan bahasa Inggris, terutama keterampilan mendengarkan yang efektif. Sosialisasi ini melibatkan 70 siswa sebagai peserta yang mengikuti kegiatan sosialisasi, yang dilakukan oleh siswa yang bertindak sebagai fasilitator utama dalam pelatihan. Metode yang digunakan adalah metode pendekatan deskriptif kualitatif. Data diperoleh melalui observasi selama kegiatan, wawancara siswa, dan pemberian penjelasan tentang format TOEFL serta pemberian kiat dan trik dalam menjawab pertanyaan TOEFL dan pemberian tugas audio sebagai pelatihan. Hasil evaluasi menunjukkan bahwa setelah mengikuti sosialisasi, siswa mulai tertarik pada TOEFL dan lebih memahami keterampilan mendengarkan. Siswa juga menunjukkan peningkatan kepercayaan diri dan motivasi saat mendengarkan audio bahasa Inggris. Selain itu, kegiatan ini menciptakan suasana belajar yang lebih interaktif dan menyenangkan. Oleh karena itu, kegiatan ini diharapkan menjadi model kolaboratif dalam meningkatkan kualitas pembelajaran mendengarkan di tingkat sekolah menengah atas dan melalui sosialisasi ini diharapkan siswa akan termotivasi untuk meningkatkan pemahaman dan kemampuan mereka dalam bahasa Inggris, khususnya dalam keterampilan mendengarkan, agar siap menghadapi era globalisasi yang semakin canggih.

Abstract

This study investigates the denotative and connotative meanings in the lyrics of Katy Perry’s Firework to reveal how language constructs motivational and symbolic messages. Using a descriptive qualitative method, selected lexical items, phrases, and clauses were analyzed to identify literal meanings and their associative expansions. The results show a semantic trajectory from vulnerability, fragility, and emotional pressure toward self-empowerment, inner potential, and confident self-expression. Words such as plastic bag, paper thin, and house of cards denote fragility but symbolize emotional weakness, while spark, ignite, shine, and firework convey empowerment and individuality. These findings highlight the role of lyrics as a meaningful medium for emotional engagement and personal reflection, emphasizing the significance of semantic analysis in understanding how language shapes listeners’ psychological and symbolic experiences.
