Abstract

Slang represents a dynamic and informal aspect of language, often reflecting cultural identity and creativity. This study examines the types and meanings of slang words used in six episodes of the Wednesday series (2022), aiming to explore their linguistic and pedagogical significance. Using a qualitative descriptive approach based on Miles and Huberman’s content analysis framework, the study categorizes slang words into four types: coinage, blending, clipping, and acronyms. Coinage emerged as the most frequently used type, contributing to the series' authenticity and narrative depth, while blending, clipping, and acronyms provided linguistic variety. The findings highlight the potential of popular media as a resource for EFL learning, offering learners exposure to authentic informal communication. Slang enhances vocabulary acquisition, listening comprehension, and cultural understanding, making it a valuable tool for bridging formal education and real-world language use. However, the study’s scope is limited to six episodes, leaving room for future research to explore additional contexts and pedagogical outcomes. This research underscores the relevance of incorporating media into language instruction, providing practical insights for educators and learners. By analyzing the interplay between slang and media, the study contributes to applied linguistics and supports innovative approaches in EFL pedagogy.

Abstract

This study explores EFL students' perceptions and experiences regarding the implementation of the Think-Pair-Share (TPS) strategy to enhance reading comprehension. Recognizing the vital role of reading skills in language development and academic success, the research investigates how TPS facilitates active learning, critical thinking, and collaboration among students. Data were collected through interviews with seven participants and questionnaires from twenty-four students majoring in English Language Education at Nahdlatul Ulama Sunan Giri University during the 2022/2023 academic year. The findings reveal that the majority of students view TPS as a highly effective and enjoyable strategy that improves their understanding of reading texts, builds confidence, and fosters peer interaction. Despite these positive outcomes, students face challenges such as limited time for discussion, difficulty in expressing ideas, and differences in background knowledge, which can hinder discussion quality. The study highlights the importance of teachers considering students' abilities and providing appropriate guidance to maximize the strategy’s benefits. Overall, TPS proves to be a valuable approach in motivating students, increasing their engagement, and improving reading comprehension skills.
