Abstract

The objective of this research is to investigate if applying Canva significantly affects students’ achievement in writing descriptive text. This research was conducted by using experimental research design. The population of this study was the tenth grade of SMK Swasta PAB 1 Helvetia which has two parallel classes namely X-Titl 1 and X-Titl 2. Each class consisted of 15 students. So, the total number of population was 30 students. Cluster random sampling with Spin the Wheel Technique was employed in selecting the sample. The class X-Titl 2 was selected as experimental group and the class X-Titl 1 was selected as control group. The experimental group was taught by applying Canva while the control group was taught without applying Canva. The instrument used in this research was writing test. The data were analyzed by using t-test. After the data were calculated, it was found that tobserved was higher than ttable (3.80 >2.00) with the degree of freedom df =58 at the level of significance α =0.05. It meant that Ha was accepted and Ho was successfully rejected. Thus, applying Canva significantly affects students’ achievement in writing descriptive text.

Abstract

The objective of this study is to investigate whether the motivational dialogue from the movie "Barbie" is successful in terms of experiential function using a discourse analysis approach. The experiential function focuses on Process, Participant, and Circumstance. The movie ‘Barbie’ is chosen because its dialogue motivates and conveys moral lessons to the viewers. This study employs a qualitative research design. Data were collected through observation and documentation. The data were analyzed by employing several steps: separating the dialogue into clauses, analyzing the clauses in terms of experiential function, classifying the elements of experiential function, deriving patterns of experience, and evaluating the success of the dialogue. The analysis revealed there were 32 Processes, with the Verbal Process being the most dominant (40.62%), 37 Participants were identified, with Sayer being the most frequent at (37,14%), and 23 Circumstances, with Extent Circumstance being the most prevalent at (43.47%). Thus, the dialogue effectively motivates and creates an emotional bond with the viewers, fulfilling its intended experiential function. Through detailed analysis, it was revealed that the dialogue's use of Verbal Processes, Participant roles, and Circumstances contributes significantly to its motivational impact and emotional connection with the viewers.

Abstract

This study examines the discourse structure and interpersonal meaning in selected dialogues from The Old Man and the Sea, with a focus on moves and speech functions. Using a qualitative descriptive method, it applies Halliday’s moves and speech functions analysis to explore how grammatical forms, interrogatives, declaratives, and imperatives, perform pragmatic and interpersonal functions beyond their literal meanings. The analysis reveals a predominance of ‘k’ type moves or information exchange, including k2, k1, k1f, and k2f, over ‘a’ type moves or offers of service, which appear as a1, a1f, and a1. Declarative clauses are the most frequently used, encompassing structures such as RSQ, S, RRSQ, and AS. The findings highlight dynamic exchanges of knowledge and action, showing how dialogue advances the narrative and develops character relationships. Despite their brevity, Hemingway’s dialogues convey complex meanings, reflecting authentic interaction and his minimalist style. The study underscores the dual function of literary dialogue as a vehicle for both storytelling and social interaction.

Abstract

This study employs a descriptive qualitative method based on discourse analysis to examine the speech functions in French President Emmanuel Macron's victory speech, delivered on May 8, 2017. Guided by Halliday's theory of speech function, the research aimed at exploring how interpersonal meaning is realized through language in this significant political address. Data, consisting of the speech transcript was meticulously analyzed to identify patterns in mood and modality. The findings reveal a predominant use of statements, consistently realized through both full declarative clauses and declarative elliptical clauses. This dominance indicates that Macron's primary communicative purpose was to inform, assert, and establish his stance and intentions, delivering clear propositions and outlining future actions rather than engaging in direct questioning or commanding. The strategic combination of full and elliptical declaratives demonstrates Macron's articulation and his skill in structuring language for clarity and impact, ultimately conveying a resolute vision and fostering trust through declared commitments.

Abstract

This study examines the interaction structure in Final Destination 6: Bloodlines through move analysis, focusing on how dialogue reflects themes of fate and death. Centered on Stefani Reyes, a college student haunted by visions of a 1968 tragedy tied to her grandmother’s ability to prevent disaster, the film explores intergenerational trauma and determinism. Using a qualitative descriptive method and Halliday’s theory, the research identifies initiating, responding, and follow-up moves in character interactions. The findings show a dominance of initiating moves particularly statements and questions which highlight the characters’ struggle with a death curse. Responding and follow-up moves enhance emotional tension and interpersonal dynamics. The study concludes that move structure in the film not only drives communication but also deepens its philosophical exploration of fate versus free will. Keywords: Move, Final Destination 6, Film Dialogue

Abstract

This study investigates the speech functions found in the lyrics of “Blue” by Yung Kai. The song was selected for its expressive language in portraying longing, imagined affection, and emotional vulnerability. The aim of this study is to examine how interpersonal meaning is conveyed through the use of speech functions. Using a qualitative descriptive method, this research applies discourse analysis based on Halliday’s theory. The lyrics were segmented into clauses and analyzed to identify the types of mood (declarative, interrogative, imperative) and their corresponding speech functions (statement, question, offer, command). The results show that statements are the most frequently used, serving to express emotions, beliefs, and personal commitment. Questions represent uncertainty and longing, while offers and commands indicate emotional closeness and desire. The study concludes that beyond entertainment, the song functions as a medium for expressing deep emotional experiences. This highlights the role of song lyrics as a form of interpersonal communication and emotional expression in contemporary music.

Abstract

This study analyzes the speech functions in the "I Lost Gwen" scene from the film Spider-Man: No Way Home using Halliday’s interpersonal metafunction. It focuses on how statements, questions, offers, and commands convey emotional pain, compassion, and mutual understanding. A qualitative descriptive method was applied to 14 clauses from a 91:36-minute film segment known for its emotional impact and virality. The findings show a dominance of congruent speech functions realized through declarative moods, reflecting Peter Parker’s expression of loss and vulnerability. Metaphorical realizations in clauses 7, 8, and 14 reveal indirect meanings, such as self-directed commands and disguised warnings, highlighting internal conflict and emotional nuance. The study demonstrates that speech functions choices reflect deeper interpersonal meanings and contribute to emotional depth in cinematic dialogue.
