Abstract

This research is motivated by the finding that students of SMA Negeri 3 Medan often make mistakes in using inflectional affixes when writing, especially in the placement of affixes that can affect the quality of writing and message delivery. This research aims to analyze the misuse of inflexional affixes in analytical exposition texts written by SMA N 3 Medan students. Qualitative descriptive method is used to identify the types of errors and determine the dominant types of errors. The subjects of this study were 25 students of grade XI of SMA Negeri 3 Medan, but only 9 students' written works were analyzed as samples to obtain data on inflectional affixes errors. Data were obtained through the analysis of students' analytical exposition texts, with the results showing that the dominant error occurred in the addition category at 72%, followed by misformation at 20%, omission at 8%, and misordering at 10%. The most frequent errors were found in the use of morphemes such as -s, -es, -ly, and -ed that did not fit the rules. The findings show that students' lack of understanding of the function of inflectional affixes affects the quality of their writing, especially in delivering messages effectively. This research provides practical implications for teachers to improve teaching related to inflectional affixes and for students to better understand the importance of correct affix usage in writing texts. In addition, the results of this study can be a reference for other researchers who are interested in analyzing language errors, especially related to inflectional affixes, to support the development of more effective English learning methods in the future.

Abstract

This study investigates the ideational metafunction within the framework of Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL), with a specific focus on Michiwichi's short story Friends. This research aims to find out the types of processes that exist in the story. Four types of processes occur, namely material process, mental process, relational process, and verbal process. Language is examined not merely as a means of communication but also as a vehicle for constructing and representing experiential meaning. The analysis employs the transitivity system, which includes material, mental, relational, and verbal processes to explore how experiences are linguistically structured in the narrative. Adopting a descriptive qualitative approach, the research classifies each clause according to its transitivity elements (process, participant, and circumstance). The findings reveal that the text utilizes diverse process types to encode meaning, with material processes being the most prevalent, followed by mental and relational processes. These results demonstrate how linguistic features are deliberately employed to express the characters' emotions, motivations, and social dynamics. The study underscores the relevance of SFL in literary analysis and affirms that even brief fictional works can provide valuable insights for functional linguistic examination.

Abstract

This research is entitled An Analysis of Verbal and Visual Signs in Scarlett’s Advertisement “Get ready to meet Song Joong Ki’s new love”. The purpose of this study is to analyze the verbal and visual signs found in the advertisement and to uncover the meanings behind those signs. This research applies Roland Barthes’ semiotic theory (1957), which consists of three levels of signification: denotation, connotation, and myth. The method used in this research is descriptive qualitative. The data were collected from the official Scarlett advertisement featuring Song Joong Ki, which was published on various digital platforms. The results of the study showed that there were four verbal signs, which consisted of four written verbal elements one audiovisual verbal element: Song Joong Ki’s spoken words in the video, Each of these verbal signs carries both denotative and connotative meanings that contribute to the advertisement’s persuasive power. The analysis shows that the advertisement uses both verbal and visual signs to deliver its message persuasively. The verbal signs, especially the slogan “Get ready to meet Song Joong Ki’s new love”, are loaded with connotative meanings that create curiosity and emotional connection with the audience. Meanwhile, the visual signs including color schemes (dominated by soft pink and white), product layout, Song Joong Ki’s gestures and facial expressions complement the verbal messages and reinforce Scarlett’s brand identity. The study also reveals the presence of myths related to beauty standards, the influential power of celebrities, and the idealization of romantic love. Through this advertisement, Scarlett constructs a narrative that beauty, brightness, and love are attainable through the use of their products.

Abstract

This study investigates the types and causal factors of pronunciation errors in the realization of the regular past tense suffix -ed among eleventh-grade students at SMA Negeri 14 Medan. Adopting a qualitative descriptive approach, this study employed Error Analysis as its primary analytical framework, guided by Corder (1981) and the Surface Strategy Taxonomy of Dulay, Burt, and Krashen (1982). Data were collected from ten purposively selected students of class XI.2 through an oral pronunciation test comprising 60 regular past tense verbs representing the three allophones of -ed (/t/, /d/, and /ɪd/), yielding a total corpus of 600 pronunciation tokens. Semi-structured interviews were subsequently conducted to triangulate the findings and identify the sources of error. The results reveal three types of pronunciation errors: misformation (50.50%), addition (21.17%), and omission (10.00%), with an overall error rate of 81.67%. A cross-categorical analysis demonstrated a clear hierarchy of difficulty: /t/ (100%) > /d/ (87%) > /ɪd/ (58%), reflecting an inverse relationship between allophonic difficulty and orthographic transparency. Two interacting causal factors were identified: interlingual interference from Indonesian, manifested through orthographic reading habits and the absence of word-final voicing distinctions in L1, and intralingual overgeneralization driven by the near-total absence of explicit phonological instruction. These findings underscore the urgent need for targeted phonological instruction that explicitly addresses the voiced-voiceless distinction and the allophonic conditioning rules governing -ed pronunciation.

Abstract

Abstract One of the main goals in learning English as an academic subject in Indonesia is to equip students with the ability to communicate effectively, both verbally and in writing. However, many students experience anxiety when asked to speak in English. These psychological barriers significantly inhibit their confidence and willingness to engage in verbal communication. This study explores the various forms and levels of anxiety experienced by students of the class of 2024 of the English Education Study Program at HKBP Nommensen University Medan. Using a qualitative method through a closed questionnaire and supported by class observation, this study identified emotional and behavioral indicators that are signs of language anxiety. The results show that most college students show moderate to high levels of anxiety, which often manifest in the form of fear, embarrassment, and hesitation when speaking in English. These findings confirm the importance of attention to affective factors in the language learning process to improve students' speaking skills and overall academic performance. Keywords: language anxiety, speaking skills, English education, psychological barriers, affective factors
