Abstract

This research explores the song "Better Man" by Westlife to uncover its experiential meaning and how it impacts the audience. Using the Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL) framework, the study analyzes the song's meaning by examining the processes, participants, and circumstances in the lyrics. Qualitative content analysis is employed to identify various emotional experiences expressed through language. The study involves deconstructing each sentence to understand how participants, processes, and circumstances are used in the song. The primary data source is the authentic lyrics from reliable sources like official songbooks and verified lyric websites to ensure accuracy. The SFL theory helps examine experiential meta function and its components in the lyrics, considering the entire complexity of language in social contexts. The analysis reveals that "Better Man" predominantly employs mental processes, reflecting the singer's personal thoughts and perspectives. The use of verbs like "love," "say," and "hidden" effectively conveys emotions and interactions between individuals. The song's participants, such as "better man" and "her," create emotional connections with listeners. The findings emphasize the importance of language as an expressive tool in art and music, guiding songwriters in effectively communicating deeper messages and meanings. Song lyrics, with their emotional storytelling, establish powerful connections with the audience. While this study offers valuable insights into "Better Man," there is potential for further research. Analyzing more songs and genres can deepen the understanding of how language conveys experiences and emotions in music's broader context. Keywords: Experiential Metafunction, Systemic Functional Linguistics, Ideational Metafunction

Abstract

This study investigates the implementation of teaching strategies to improve reading comprehension among eighth-grade students in Indonesian junior high schools, where English is treated as a foreign language. Limited exposure and practice outside the classroom contribute to underwhelming reading proficiency. The research adopts a qualitative case study approach involving two English teachers and eighth-grade students. Data collection methods include observations, interviews, and documentation, while analysis is conducted using Miles and Hubberman’s interactive model. Findings reveal that teachers employ two primary strategies for teaching descriptive text comprehension: Think Aloud and Question Answer Relationships (QARs). The Think Aloud strategy involves guiding students to set reading purposes and make predictions during the pre-reading stage. During reading, students identify key information, resolve unfamiliar vocabulary, and make connections across texts. Post-reading activities include summarizing, evaluating comprehension through performance, and formative assessments. QARs strategy focuses on building background knowledge before reading. Teachers introduce four types of questions – Right There, Think and Search, Author and Me, and On My Own – to guide text interpretation during reading. Reflection and comprehension tests, such as worksheets, are conducted post-reading to assess learning outcomes. The study highlights the effectiveness of interactive and structured approaches in fostering deeper engagement and improving students’ reading comprehension abilities. These strategies offer practical insights for educators seeking to enhance reading proficiency through targeted interventions.

Abstract

The objective of this socialization is to provide an overview of the application of artificial intelligence in dealing with problems related to bullying. The positive effects of artificial intelligence on the life and growth of today's children will be widely utilized. At an early age, the protection of artificial intelligence is indispensable. It can play a role in preventing extreme behavior from developing in children. Post-bullying, the counseling program can be developed as part of parental counseling for their children's mental health. Additionally, an early warning function should be deployed, and permanent protection must be added to artificial intelligence. Among them, enhancing children's ability to judge, guide, and respond in events involving negative energy is essential. The results showed recent advancements in AI technology offer significant potential for more effective outcomes compared to traditional non-technological approaches in preventing and addressing children's bullying. These AI-driven solutions could potentially reduce the occurrence of bullying incidents, lessen their impact on children, and provide better protection for victims. Interactive video games that incorporate physical activities are now combining various elements such as muscle group engagement, body awareness, head-torso coordination, and social cooperation into comprehensive exercise packages. AI-enhanced video games can identify motivations behind bullying behavior in children by analyzing audio-visual data, assigning different levels of credibility to the information gathered during gameplay. These games are capable of providing immediate assistance when bullying attempts are detected, such as by playing calming music and animations, or by initiating mentoring sessions and discussions about appropriate behavior.

Abstract

This study investigates the impact of visual media, specifically images, on Grade X students’ ability to write spoof texts at SMA Negeri 1 Pematangsiantar. Using a quasiexperimental design with a pretest-posttest nonequivalent group format, 62 students were divided into an experimental group receiving image-based instruction and a control group taught without visual aids. The experimental group demonstrated significant improvement, with mean scores increasing from 51.26 in the pretest to 84.74 in the posttest, compared to the control group’s modest increase from 50.39 to 66.65. The t-test analysis confirmed the results were statistically significant (t-value = 6.06, p < 0.05). Visual media enhanced students’ understanding of spoof text structures, including orientation, events, and twists. It also fostered creativity and narrative cohesion, enabling students to construct engaging and coherent stories. In contrast, traditional instruction showed limited effectiveness in improving these skills. The findings highlight the benefits of integrating visual aids into English instruction, particularly for creative writing tasks. Images serve as effective scaffolding tools, helping students organize ideas and improve writing quality. This study underscores the potential of visual media to enhance students’ creative abilities in narrative genres, emphasizing its importance in educational practices.

Abstract

This community service activity aimed to enhance the reading comprehension skills of 12th-grade students at SMK Negeri 1 Jorlang Hataran by introducing effective strategies and tips for success in the TOEFL Reading section. Recognizing that many students struggle with reading comprehension due to limited exposure to academic English and test-oriented strategies, this program provided targeted training focused on active reading techniques, vocabulary building, and identifying main ideas and supporting details. The activity was conducted through interactive workshops that included reading practice, discussions, and explanatory sessions. A qualitative approach was used to gather data, including observations, comprehension tests, and student questionnaires. Results indicate that students showed increased understanding of TOEFL question types, improved ability to identify key information in texts, and greater confidence in managing time during reading tasks. The feedback also reflected a positive change in student attitudes toward English reading, emphasizing the importance of early preparation and exposure to standardized testing formats. This initiative demonstrates that strategic socialization of reading techniques can significantly impact students' comprehension and test readiness. It also highlights the importance of equipping students with not only language proficiency but also the test-taking skills necessary for academic advancement. Future programs are encouraged to expand this approach to other sections of the TOEFL and provide continuous support for students’ English development.

Abstract

This study investigates the effectiveness of using images (pictures) as a teaching strategy to enhance students’ ability in writing spoof texts. The research was conducted at SMA Swasta Kampus Nommensen Pematang Siantar during the 2024/2025 academic year, involving two classes of eleventh-grade students. A quasi-experimental design was employed, with one class assigned as the experimental group and the other as the control group. The experimental group received image-based instruction, while the control group was taught using traditional methods. Data were collected through pre-tests and post-tests to measure students’ writing abilities before and after the intervention. The results revealed a significant improvement in the experimental group’s performance. Their average score increased from 52.61 (pre-test) to 84.19 (post-test), whereas the control group’s average rose modestly from 51.77 to 66.54. The statistical analysis using a t-test yielded a value of 6.06, exceeding the critical value of 2.00 at a 0.05 significance level, indicating a meaningful difference between the two groups. These findings suggest that visual aids can effectively support students in understanding and composing spoof texts by stimulating creativity, aiding in idea development, and improving structural coherence. The study concludes that integrating images into writing instruction significantly enhances students' writing performance and recommends this approach for teaching narrative genres that require imagination and structure.
