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.

Dampak masalah lingkungan yang semakin nyata mencerminkan kebutuhan mendesak untuk meningkatkan kesadaran ekologis di kalangan masyarakat, terutama generasi muda. Kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan kesadaran lingkungan serta keterampilan berpikir kritis siswa dengan mengintegrasikan ecoliteracy (literasi ekologis) dan kemampuan berpikir kritis melalui pendekatan Problem-Based Learning (PBL). Dalam kegiatan ini, siswa SMA Muhammadiyah 1 Medan membuat poster dalam bahasa Inggris sebagai bagian dari pembelajaran mereka. Integrasi ecoliteracy dalam pembelajaran bahasa Inggris diharapkan tidak hanya meningkatkan keterampilan berbahasa tetapi juga menumbuhkan kesadaran akan pentingnya menjaga lingkungan.

Abstract

The objective of this research is to investigate if Cooperative Integrated Reading and Composition (CIRC) Model affects students’ reading comprehension. This research was conducted by using experimental research design. The population of this study was the tenth grade of MAS Al-Washliyah Pantai Cermin which has two parallel classes namely X-A and XB. Each class consisted of 19 and 20 students. So, the total number of population was 39 students. Cluster random sampling with Spin the Wheel Technique was employed in selecting the sample. The class X-A was selected as experimental group and the class X-B was selected as control group. The experimental group was taught by applying Cooperative Integrated Reading and Composition (CIRC) Model while the control group was taught with Convensional. The instrument used in this research was reading test. The data were analyzed by using t-test. After the data were calculated, it was found that tobserved was higher than ttable (0.001>0.05) with the degree of freedom df =37 at the level of significance α =0.05. It meant that H0 was accepted and H1 was successfully rejected. Thus, applying Cooperative Integrated Reading and Composition (CIRC) Model significantly affects students’ achievement in reading descriptive text.
