Abstract

This conceptual paper presents a literature review of language landscape studies on the interaction of multilingualism, multiculturalism, and globalization in the reality of English learning education (ESL). Language has a great influence on human life through the forms of expression it conveys. Likewise in the social life of the wider community in general. In addition, language also plays an important role. In addition, the central government has rules and guidelines that affect local governments. The same applies to government language policies. Language policy is followed by language planning, which leads to social change. The areas of language policy include education, economics, politics, regional languages ​​and literature, and law. All of that is inseparable from the language policies regulated by the governments of each country or region that use the language environment in the public sphere. Therefore, English cannot be used without another language, although it is subject to national and regional language policies. As a result, the use of English in public places requires the use of language equivalents in multilingual public forms, both in historical and cultural contexts, such as signage. However, because the unit of analysis in the linguistic landscape is the symbol, it provides the linguistic context of a particular region (roads, villages, buildings, countries, and environments), the linguistic landscape in this social conception, or the diversity of populations. English cannot be the only language used to represent signs. In the public sphere, taking into account the rise of bilingualism, the dominance of the national language, and a common language policy. However, the diversity of English is still growing. In short, English as used in this study of the linguistic landscape in the public sphere is a contradiction between language practice and language policy, and public understanding. Keywords: Language Policy, Linguistic Landscape, Era of Super Diversity, Foreign Languages (English).

Abstract

This research analyzes the use of figurative language in the lyrics of the song “Let It Go” by Idina Menzel, which is widely known as a theme song of Disney’s “Frozen”. The study aims to identify and classify various types of figurative language, such as metaphor, simile, personification, hyperbole, idiom, alliteration, and symbolic expressions, and interpret their meanings using a qualitative descriptive approach. Drawing on Ferdinand de Saussure’s semiotic theory, the research decodes the song’s linguistic signs (signifier and signified) to explore how language shapes meaning, emotion, and imagery in the lyrics. The findings show that the lyrics are rich in figurative expressions that represent Queen Elsa’s inner transformation, emotional struggles, and the symbolism of freedom and empowerment. Hyperboles and personifications are used to enhance the imagery of Elsa’s magical powers, while similes and metaphors illustrate emotional depth and resilience. The study concludes that figurative language in “Let It Go” not only adds aesthetic value but also serves as a powerful medium to convey character development and thematic elements such as identity, self-acceptance, and liberation. This research highlights the importance of understanding figurative language in songs to grasp deeper meanings and emotional nuances.

Abstract

This study investigates the factors and types of speaking anxiety experienced by eleventh-grade students at SMAN 11 Pandeglang during the 2024/2025 academic year. Speaking anxiety is a common issue in foreign language learning that can negatively affect students’ performance, confidence, and motivation. The research focuses on four major factors contributing to speaking anxiety: low English proficiency, lack of familiarity with the task, low confidence, and fear of making mistakes. Before distributing the questionnaire, short interviews were conducted with two students one male and one female to gain initial insights into their feelings and difficulties when speaking English in class. These interviews ensured that the questionnaire items were clear, relevant, and contextually appropriate. The questionnaire, which aimed only to identify the types and factors of anxiety without influencing students’ emotions, was administered to 25 students. The results revealed that fear of making mistakes was the dominant factor (27.1%), followed by lack of familiarity with the task (25.9%), lack of confidence (24.6%), and low English proficiency (22.3%). Regarding the types of anxiety, trait anxiety was found to be slightly more prevalent (51.5%) than state anxiety (48.4%). Data were collected through questionnaires and classroom observations, providing a comprehensive understanding of students’ anxiety experiences. These findings emphasize the need for English teachers to foster a supportive and low-anxiety classroom environment by offering constructive feedback, designing familiar and engaging speaking tasks, and helping students build self-confidence in their language learning process.
