Abstract

Vocabulary mastery is crucial for effective language acquisition, enabling learners to comprehend spoken and written words and articulate their thoughts. The PowToon application, with its engaging animated videos, offers an immersive and clear learning experience. This is particularly beneficial for English learners, where proficiency in listening, speaking, reading, and writing is vital. This study investigates the impact of the PowToon application on enhancing students' vocabulary. Utilizing a quantitative approach with a Quasi-Experimental Design, data were gathered through observations and tests. The analysis was based on descriptive statistics. The sample comprised 52 tenth-grade students at Tunas Pelita High School. The experimental group, which used PowToon, had a pretest average of 36.19 compared to the control group's 38.40. However, post-tests revealed a score of 82.31 for the experimental group and 71.70 for the control group, indicating a more significant vocabulary improvement in the PowToon cohort. The findings confirm that the PowToon application positively affects vocabulary acquisition. The research underscores PowToon’s potential to enhance students' comprehension, spelling, and pronunciation of English vocabulary, ultimately bolstering their overall learning outcomes.

Abstract

Feminist stylistic analysis of song lyrics can reveal how gender and power relations are represented in music. This research uses observation methods in collecting data by note-taking techniques. The analysis of transitivity choices using Halliday's systemic functional grammar theory can provide a deeper perspective on the relationship between language structure and meaning in the context of feminist song lyrics. The song aims to talk about a strong feminist message, permeating the narrative of gender inequality in society. The highlight of the song which is also the key reason for the stigma and stereotypes that arise in the society was found through the technique of portraying women's experience and their comparison with men's experiences in the community and because this through the desire to "be a man" the song wants to convey the message of gender equality.

Abstract

Language and society are intrinsically linked, with every society having a distinctive vocabulary. This study investigates the varieties of the Batak Simalungunese language, focusing on dialectal and idiolectal variations between Pematang Raya and Saribu Dolok in North Sumatra, Indonesia. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, data were collected through observations and interviews with eight native speakers aged 35-50. The research reveals significant linguistic variations between the two regions, manifesting in dialectal and idiolectal differences. Notable variations were found in vocabulary, pronunciation, and grammatical patterns. The study contributes to the broader understanding of language diversity in Indonesia and provides insights into the rich linguistic tapestry of the Batak Simalungunese community.

Abstract

This research analyzes the use of code-mixing in the song ‘Come Over (I’m in Tresno)’ by Indonesian musician Basboi, emphasizing the innovative application of multilingualism in the lyrics. Code-mixing, the amalgamation of two or more languages inside a single discourse, is a prevalent linguistic occurrence in bilingual populations, and this study investigates its many manifestations in music. The research used a qualitative descriptive technique to identify four kinds of code-mixing in the song's lyrics: insertion (words), insertion (phrases), alternation (clauses), and congruent lexicalization. The results indicate that Basboi adeptly amalgamates English, Indonesian, Javanese, and other languages, illustrating the sociolinguistic complexities of contemporary communication. The recurrent use of code-mixing in his lyrics appeals to multilingual listeners and enhances the cultural and emotional richness of the song. This study underscores the potential of code-mixing as a linguistic and creative instrument, advocating for more research on its prevalence across various musical genres. Furthermore, the results may enhance discourse in sociolinguistics and media studies, especially within bilingual or multilingual frameworks.

Based on the results, it can be concluded that first name (FN) were the most commonly used address terms, with intimacy being the primary reason for their usage with the total of 28 address term found.
