The present study aims at investigating the learning difficulties faced by students in reading text and the factors contributing to the learning difficulties. The study conducted at SMP Negeri 3 Kombi employs qualitative method with case study design. Eight 9th-grade students are chosen as the sample of the study using purposive sampling. Data collected from documentation and interview are analyzed through the 3 steps of qualitative data analysis namely data condensation, data display and drawing and verifying conclusion.

Abstract

Rap lyrics creatively express identity and culture through unique word choices yet few studies have examined how word formation shapes their rhythm and social meaning This study explores how Ice Cube s Death Certificate< em> album reflects identity culture and resistance through creative word formation This study aims to identify and analyze the word formation processes in Ice Cube s Death Certificate< em> album and to explain how these processes shape meaning and reflect cultural expression The research used a qualitative descriptive method and Yule s 2019 theory of word formation processes as the analytical framework The data were taken from official lyrics of three songs in Ice Cube s Death Certificate< em> album such as Steady Mobbin < em> True to the Game< em> and No Vaseline < em>and analyzed using document and content analysis techniques The findings showed that clipping and compounding were the most common word formation processes in Ice Cube s Death Certificate< em> album while borrowing blending acronyms coinage and derivation were used less often The frequent use of clipping shows that Ice Cube likes to make his words shorter to match the rhythm and sound more natural in everyday speech especially in African American Vernacular English AAVE Compounding helps Ice Cube create strong and meaningful words like motherfucker< em> and homeboys< em> that show identity culture and closeness in his community The other word formation types appear less often but still make the lyrics more creative and give deeper meaning to the songs These results indicate that Ice Cube intentionally used word formation to strengthen his artistic style cultural identity and social commentary showing that rap lyrics are not only entertainment but also a rich form of linguistic and cultural expression < p>

Abstract

Literature, in a broad definition, can be defined as a term that denotes works such as drama, poetry, novel, and short story. From an educational point of view, literature can be utilized as a medium for teaching English as a foreign language. This study attempts to suggest the activities that can be used to maximize the prominent role of literature in teaching English skills and describe the relationship between literature and the English teaching and learning process. This study employs the qualitative approach with a library research technique. The data are collected from books and articles in various academic journals. The findings show that the relationship between literature and English teaching and learning is symbiotic and inseparable. Literature does have a really important role in teaching English as a foreign language: literature can be used in developing students’ language skills: listening, speaking, reading, and writing. However, the use of literature in English classes can be fully optimized when accurate methods or techniques are used. This study suggests that the use of literature to enhance students’ language skills has to be done in integration.

Abstract

Grammatical deviation serves as a crucial stylistic tool in contemporary music lyrics, yet its strategic use by female pop artists to convey authenticity and emotion remains underexplored. This study addresses that gap by analyzing grammatical deviations in Olivia Rodrigo’s GUTS (2023) album through Leech’s (1969) framework. Using a qualitative content analysis approach, the researcher examined all twelve songs, identifying, classifying, and interpreting deviations in structure and form. The findings reveal 50 instances of grammatical deviation categorized into omission, morphological deviation, informal contractions, verb tense/aspect deviation, lexical deviation, and repetition. Omission emerged as the most frequent type, reflecting the artist’s conversational tone and rhythmic compression, while morphological deviations and contractions highlight spoken authenticity. Less frequent yet impactful deviations, such as taboo words and repetition, intensify emotional expression and rhythm. Overall, the study concludes that grammatical deviations in GUTS are deliberate stylistic choices rather than linguistic errors, enhancing Rodrigo’s identity, relatability, and emotional realism. These findings contribute to linguistic stylistics by demonstrating how contemporary female pop artists creatively manipulate grammar to express individuality and connect with modern audiences.

Abstract

Deixis has an important role in communication by allowing speakers and listeners to locate referents, events, and actions within a specific context. In real life interactions, deictic expressions help participants identify who is involved, when events occur, and where actions take place, thereby ensuring clarity and coherence in discourse. Similarly, in staged or fictional conversations, such as cinematic dialogue or film, deixis is essential for expressing social relationships, emotional states, and character identities. Through the use of deictic forms, speakers convey not only the literal meaning of their utterances but also pragmatic and interpersonal nuances that shape audience understanding and engagement within the narrative. The aims of this study were to identify the types of deixis found in Lilo & Stitch (2025) and to analyze their pragmatic strategies in conveying emotional and social meanings in the utterances of the main characters, Lilo and Stitch. A qualitative descriptive approach was employed, using the documentation method to collect data from the film’s transcript. The data were analyzed using Levinson’s model of deixis, which includes personal, spatial, temporal, discourse, and social categories. The results showed that personal deixis was the most frequently used type, functioning to express personal identity, emotional closeness, and character relationships. Spatial and temporal deixis provided contextual anchoring of events, while discourse deixis maintained narrative coherence and thematic progression. Social deixis appeared less frequently but indicated respect, intimacy, and family hierarchy among characters. Overall, deixis in Lilo & Stitch (2025) served not only as a linguistic reference system but also as a pragmatic strategy that reflected belonging, empathy, and cross-species communication. The findings implied that cinematic dialogue can be an effective medium for studying pragmatic meaning, offering insights for linguistic studies and language education.

Abstract

This research aims to analyze the social situation during the flu-influenza pandemic in the novel "The Stand" by Stephen King. Researchers completed the data for this study using descriptive qualitative analysis techniques. The data collection in this article is the novel "The Stand" and secondary data are internet resources and journals and the technique of collecting data using note-taking. The technique analysis data used an objective approach to examine how literary works relate to the current (real-time) context. The method of analysis involves looking for patterns of behavior, changes in social norms, and individual responses to uncertainty and health threats. The results revealed that the pandemic outbreak catalyzed significant social change in the novel, giving rise to new power dynamics, competition, and collaboration among survivor groups. The results of this study illustrate the Influenza flu pandemic that almost claimed the entire population in the world and how those who are still alive survived until this pandemic problem is over, face loneliness, despair, belief (religion), and responsibility. This article also provides deep insights into how authors use fiction to reflect and depict social situations during health crises. The implications of these findings may provide further understanding of the complexity of human interactions during difficult times and create awareness of the importance of solidarity and adaptation in the face of global challenges.
