Abstract

This research aims to determine the effect of jigsaw teaching techniques on reading comprehension of Grade VII students at UPTD SMPN 5 Pematangsiantar in 2024/2025 school year. This research uses a quantitative research design by applying a quasi-experimental design. In this design, the research subjects were divided into two groups: VII-1 as experimental group and VII-2 as control group. The treatment was given only to the experimental group. The experimental group was treated with the jigsaw technique while the control group was treated without the jigsaw technique. The subjects of this research were seventh grade students (VII-1 and VII-2) of UPTD SMPN 5 Pematangsiantar with 62 students. The researcher used multiple choice questions as an instrument to assess students' reading comprehension. The results of data analysis showed that the mean score of the experimental class increased from 67.81 up to 81.25 while the mean score of the control class increased from 69.21 up to 73.43. A t-test was performed at the 5% significance level. The calculated t-value of 4.25 exceeds the t-table value of 1.670 (t-test > t-table). This indicates that the alternative hypothesis (Ha) is accepted and the null hypothesis (H0) is rejected. Therefore, it can be concluded that the use of jigsaw teaching technique has a significant effect on the reading comprehension of seventh grade students at UPTD SMPN 5 Pematangsiantar.

Abstract

This study analyzes the use of metaphors in Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds album, aiming to classify the types of metaphors employed in the song lyrics and uncover their underlying meanings. The research examines ten songs using a descriptive qualitative approach, drawing on Lakoff and Johnson’s (1980) Conceptual Metaphor Theory as the primary analytical framework. The lyrical data were collected from publicly available sources and analyzed through data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing based on Miles and Huberman’s (1994) model. The findings reveal three dominant metaphor types—ontological, structural, and orientational with structural metaphors appearing most frequently. These metaphors function as symbolic representations of emotional and existential themes such as struggle, identity, love, and resilience. Gallagher often translates abstract concepts into concrete imagery such as light, roads, storms, and clocks—enabling listeners to perceive complex human experiences in a tangible manner. The study concludes that metaphors in High Flying Birds serve not merely as stylistic devices but as cognitive tools that shape listeners’ understanding of life and emotional realities. This research contributes to semantic studies by demonstrating how conceptual metaphors in song lyrics construct meaning beyond literal interpretation and reinforce music’s role as a medium of cultural and emotional expression.
