Abstract

Ballance Ton Quoi is a French song that the researchers plan to analyze. This song is performed by Angèle. This song has attracted the attention of researchers, since it is impossible to discuss women without mentioning the social structures in which they exist. The purpose of the present research is to illustrate how critical discourse can reveal a text's hidden meaning. Aside from that, this study aims to demonstrate how social construction influences the perception of good and terrible women. Van Dijk's critical discourse analysis is used in the present research to analyze data. By examining and explaining the macro structure, super structure, and micro structure, the researchers seek to identify the implied meaning of this song. The present research adopts a descriptive qualitative method, with significant concepts highlighted and translated. According to the research's findings, the speaker believes that women should be able to value and respect who they are by not cheaply dressing or performing.

Abstract

One of the main problems in English learning for beginner learners is vocabulary acquisition. The ability to communicate and understand a language is often hampered by a limited vocabulary. Visual dictionaries, which display the meaning of learnt words through pictures, are a method that can accelerate vocabulary comprehension. This method is considered more efficient because the human brain more easily remembers information that is accompanied by images or visuals rather than just text. The purpose of this study is to find out how effective the use of visual dictionaries is in learning vocabulary for beginner learners. By analysing the results and pedagogical methods used, the researcher examined how visual dictionary representation can increase students' interest and success in vocabulary acquisition as well as improve word recognition, comprehension and retention. This study utilised the classroom action research method. The research findings showed pre-test data that 77% of students were able to understand the vocabulary and 67% of students were able to pronounce the vocabulary correctly. Overall, the students' vocabulary mastery ability during the pre-test was 72%. Post-test data showed that 80% of students were able to understand the vocabulary and 83% of students were able to pronounce the vocabulary correctly. Overall, the students' vocabulary mastery ability during the post-test was 81.5%. Based on the above facts, the researcher concluded that visual dictionaries can improve the vocabulary acquisition of beginner learners.

Abstract

Based on Michael Halliday's Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL) theory, this study examines the meaning of Charlotte Brontë's Jane Eyre from the standpoint of ideational meta-function. The way that ideas and experiences are expressed in language, particularly through the contexts, participants, and processes in the text, is reflected in the ideational meta-function. To explain the character dynamics and the novel's primary themes—such as freedom, gender equality, morality, and emotional conflict, this research points out the utilization of material, mental, and relational processes in the main dialogues. The analysis's findings demonstrate that, particularly in discourses that emphasize women's social constraints, relational mechanisms tend to be applied to character identity and social positions. The introspection of the main character, such as Jane's contemplation of her autonomy and self-worth, is exhibited through mental processes. Material processes, on the other hand, show the characters' tangible responses to different difficulties. Furthermore, the novel's ideological meaning is reinforced by the circumstances, including comparison and periodicity. Abstrak Berdasarkan teori Linguistik Fungsional Sistemik (SFL) Michael Halliday, penelitian ini meneliti makna Jane Eyre karya Charlotte Brontë dari sudut pandang metafungsi ideasional. Cara ide dan pengalaman diekspresikan dalam bahasa, khususnya melalui konteks, partisipan, dan proses dalam teks, tercermin dalam metafungsi ideasional. Untuk menjelaskan dinamika karakter dan tema utama novel—seperti kebebasan, kesetaraan gender, moralitas, dan konflik emosional, penelitian ini menunjukkan pemanfaatan proses material, mental, dan relasional dalam dialog utama. Temuan analisis menunjukkan bahwa, khususnya dalam wacana yang menekankan kendala sosial perempuan, mekanisme relasional cenderung diterapkan pada identitas karakter dan posisi sosial. Introspeksi karakter utama, seperti perenungan Jane tentang otonomi dan harga dirinya, ditunjukkan melalui proses mental. Proses material, di sisi lain, menunjukkan respons nyata karakter terhadap berbagai kesulitan. Lebih jauh lagi, makna ideologis novel tersebut diperkuat oleh keadaan-keadaan, termasuk perbandingan dan periodisasi
