Abstract

The purpose of this study is to determine whether playing bingo has a meaningful impact on vocabulary mastery. Experimental research design was the method used in this study. For the academic year 2023–2024, class X students at MAS Alwasliyah 21 Firdaus were the subjects of this study. There were two X grade classrooms. Every class has twenty pupils in it. Thus, there are 40 pupils in total. Class X-2 was chosen as the control group, and Class X-1 as the experimental group. It is known that the t-test was used for data analysis after the data were computed using SPSS. Following the computation of the data, it is known that, at a significance level of α = 0.05, the t count value (11,374) is greater than the t table value (1,68) with degrees of freedom (df = 38). This suggests that the Null Hypothesis (H0) was successfully rejected and the Alternative Hypothesis (Ha) was successfully accepted. Consequently, the usage of bingo games has a big impact on students' knowledge of the material.

Abstract

This study investigates the speech functions found in the lyrics of “Blue” by Yung Kai. The song was selected for its expressive language in portraying longing, imagined affection, and emotional vulnerability. The aim of this study is to examine how interpersonal meaning is conveyed through the use of speech functions. Using a qualitative descriptive method, this research applies discourse analysis based on Halliday’s theory. The lyrics were segmented into clauses and analyzed to identify the types of mood (declarative, interrogative, imperative) and their corresponding speech functions (statement, question, offer, command). The results show that statements are the most frequently used, serving to express emotions, beliefs, and personal commitment. Questions represent uncertainty and longing, while offers and commands indicate emotional closeness and desire. The study concludes that beyond entertainment, the song functions as a medium for expressing deep emotional experiences. This highlights the role of song lyrics as a form of interpersonal communication and emotional expression in contemporary music.

Abstract

This study analyzes the speech functions in the "I Lost Gwen" scene from the film Spider-Man: No Way Home using Halliday’s interpersonal metafunction. It focuses on how statements, questions, offers, and commands convey emotional pain, compassion, and mutual understanding. A qualitative descriptive method was applied to 14 clauses from a 91:36-minute film segment known for its emotional impact and virality. The findings show a dominance of congruent speech functions realized through declarative moods, reflecting Peter Parker’s expression of loss and vulnerability. Metaphorical realizations in clauses 7, 8, and 14 reveal indirect meanings, such as self-directed commands and disguised warnings, highlighting internal conflict and emotional nuance. The study demonstrates that speech functions choices reflect deeper interpersonal meanings and contribute to emotional depth in cinematic dialogue.
