Abstract

Semiotics is the study of signs and symbols and how they are function and interpreted in communication. This Semiotic research aims to analyse logos found in social media applications using a semiotic approach from Roland Barthes' theory. Barthes' theory can explore how the visual elements in logos convey implied meaning. Descriptive qualitative methods were used in this research. Data sourced are taken from app store screenshots totally 35 logos and the author selected seven logo's. The research results show that logos on social media applications have visual signs. In terms of denotation, the music symbol logo depicts entertainment, the green circle with a telephone icon represents communication, or the triangle resembles a speech balloon which represents interaction. In the connotation meaning there is a deeper meaning and evokes an emotional response. For example, bright colors reflect passion and creativity, while blue can be seen as a symbol of trust and stability. After the denotational and connotative meanings are revealed. A myth is formed summarizing a broader cultural narrative. The myth of these logos represents self-expression and global connectedness and gives the impression that communication can be done quickly, safely and also spread trends quickly. This research reveals that logos on social media applications not only function as visual identifiers but also encapsulate deeper meanings and narratives that can be received by users. Each logo has a distinctive and unique design as a platform identity, and also contains emotional and cultural meaning, so it is more than just a visual sign.

Abstract

The study is very important because when listening to songs, most people only focus on the music rather than the lyrics without knowing the meaning of the song. This study aims to find out the types of figurative language in “Short n Sweet” song album by Sabrina Carpenter and  how is the figurative language realized in the song album. This research used mix-method research namely quantitative and qualitative. This study used Perrine (1992) theory which classified figurative language into 12 types. However, this research only focuses into 6 types of figurative language with the research results of 97 data. There are Metaphor (16), Simile (14), Personification (9), Symbol (19), Hyperbole (23), and Irony (16). The realization is that there are six types of  figurative language, namely metaphors (comparing two different ideas, namely intelligence with sharpest tools and describing a partner with bee). Simile (make a direct comparison using the term "like"). Personification (inanimate objects namely fan and car are given human characteristics or talents). Symbol (use elements of numbers and drink brands with meanings that are different from their literal meanings). Hyperbole (use clearly exaggerated statements to emphasize certain feelings and situations). Irony (there is a mismatch between what is said or expected and the truth or deepest feelings behind the statement). This study is very important for english department and literature students, teacher, lecturer, and other researchers because it will teach them how to evaluate and analyze figurative language both in songs and in other media.

Abstract

English is an international language that plays a large role in many spheres, not only the national but also the global. The purpose of this study is to assess the impacts of using Wordwall and Baamboozle apps on the improvement of English-speaking skills among junior high school students at SMPN 37 Medan. Both applications offer unique and interesting teaching-learning pedagogy that can perhaps lessen students apprehension towards speaking the foreign language as well as increase their interactiveness during learning. Using a quasi-experimental research design, this study involved a pre-test and post-test to assess students speaking skills before and after the intervention. Quantitative data taken from the speaking skills assessment showed that both apps can improve students speaking skills, with Baamboozle showing a more significant improvement. Data analysis used descriptive statistics and inferential statistics to compare pre-test and post-test scores to determine the improvement of speaking ability. The results of this study are expected to provide evidence supporting the effectiveness of gamification apps in language learning, as well as provide recommendations for educators to integrate technology in their teaching strategies.
