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.

The results showed that all data, namely Subject A1 to Subject D1, had both types of pauses based on Fromkin's theory, namely silent pauses and filled pauses. While there are only 3 out of 6 types of tongue slips based on Dardjowidjojo theory, there are anticipation, transposition, and perseveration. While there is no slip of the tongue for the types of blend, malapropism, and substitution. In this research, speech errors such as pauses and slips of the tongue were caused by fatigue, a focus on accents, not mastering the material or vocabulary, nervousness, rushed, and the habit of saying the words “eee” and “aaa”. This finding also expects other researchers to further analyze psycholinguistics so as to minimize other speech errors.

Abstract

Abstract is This study used a qualitative approach and descriptive-qualitative method to examine code-mixing and code-switching among sixth-semester students in the English Education Program at Mathla'ul Anwar University Banten during the 2022-2023 academic year. Five microteaching videos were analyzed. Data were collected through observation, documentation, and checklists. The study found that Subjects A to E used three types of code-mixing according to Hoofman’s theory: intra-sentential, intra-lexical, and mixing involving pronunciation changes. Based on Poplack’s theory, the types of code-switching observed were tag-switching, inter-sentential switching, and intra-sentential switching. Subject A showed the highest frequency of code-mixing with 30 instances (26 intra-sentential and 4 intra-lexical) and the highest frequency of code-switching with 30 instances (1 tag-switching, 14 inter-sentential, and 15 intra-sentential). Code-mixing and code-switching were influenced by bilingual or multilingual abilities, the need to fit social or situational contexts, and specific communication needs. The study suggested further research in sociolinguistics to better understand these phenomenon. The researcher hoped the findings would be useful for readers, students, and researcher interested in code-mixing and code-switching. Keywords: Code Mixing, Code Switching and Sociolinguistics

Abstract

The Effect of Think Talk Write (TTW) Strategy Toward Students Announcement Writing Skill at the Eleventh Grade of SMAN 9 Pandeglang in Academic Years 2025/2026. The study was initiated by observing a persistent gap in the writing of announcements by eleventh-grade students at SMAN 9 Pandeglang. This deficiency suggests a critical need for pedagogical interventions to address challenges in constructing clear, informative, and structurally sound announcement texts, thereby enhancing overall communicative competence. The primary objective of this quantitative study was to empirically evaluate the impact of implementing the Think-Talk-Write (TTW) strategy on improving students' announcement-writing skills. Using a robust quasi-experimental design, the study recruited a carefully selected sample of 64 eleventh-grade students. This sample was strategically divided into an experimental group (32 students) and a control group (32 students) to facilitate direct comparison. Writing proficiency was systematically assessed through pre-test and post-test evaluations using a standardized writing test instrument. Data analysis, conducted using an independent t-test in SPSS version 22, revealed a statistically significant difference in performance. Specifically, the experimental group, which received the TTW strategy intervention, achieved a substantially higher mean post-test score (80.94) compared to the control group (65.75), with a significance value of 0.000 (p < 0.05). Based on these compelling findings, it is conclusively determined that the Think-Talk-Write (TTW) strategy is a highly effective pedagogical tool for significantly enhancing students’ writing skills in announcements.

Abstract

Understanding the factors that demotivate English language pre-service teachers is crucial, as these future educators will significantly influence their students’ motivation and engagement with language learning. This study investigates key demotivation factors among pre-service teachers enrolled in an English education program at a public university in Indonesia. Using a sequential explanatory design, data were collected through questionnaires distributed to pre-service teachers, followed by semi-structured interviews with four selected participants. Quantitative data were analyzed using SPSS 23, while qualitative data were examined through thematic analysis. The quantitative findings reveal that a lack of intrinsic motivation, along with concerns about teacher competence and teaching styles, are the most prominent demotivating factors. The qualitative findings further reveal that performance pressures such as test scores intensify these experiences, helping to explain how certain factors become highly demotivating despite their lower statistical prominence. The study also contributes theoretically by extending Sakai and Kikuchi’s demotivation framework, showing how teacher-related issues, learning content, and learner psychology interact to shape pre-service teachers’ demotivation in the Indonesian EFL context. This can be achieved through more engaging coursework, opportunities for meaningful teaching experiences, and mentorship by competent educators. Furthermore, ongoing professional development for in-service teachers should also prioritize strategies to maintain motivation and improve instructional quality. By addressing these factors, both pre-service and in-service teachers will be better equipped to create motivating classroom environments, ultimately enhancing students ’ learning of English as a foreign language. The implications of these findings underscore the urgent need for teacher education programs to focus on developing and sustaining pre-service teachers’ intrinsic motivation.

Abstract

Immersing learners in English can be a strategy to improve their autonomy in in English as a foreign language (EFL) learning. The objective of the present study is to analyze the improvement in factors related to learnersÔÇÖ autonomy after the English camp, one of types of language immersion programs. This study used a convenience sampling method. The participants consisted of thirty high school students. Therefore, the present study employed a quantitative research design by distributing a set of questionnaires before and after an-eight-day English camp program. The results suggest that the most salient factor that improves after the treatment is ÔÇÿimportant strategiesÔÇÖ┬á (m=3.6 to m=3.75) while factors related ÔÇÿthe learnersÔÇÖ sense of self-efficacyÔÇÖ (m=3.75 to m=3.91) and ÔÇÿthe role of teacherÔÇÖ (m=3.47 to m=3.5) do not suggest a drastic increase. In contrast, the items related to ÔÇÿthe role of the feedbackÔÇÖ (m=3.77 to m=3.58) show a decline. In this sense, the participants seem able to employ various important strategies to advance their language learning progress and improve their confidence while finding the roles of feedback they obtained during the program lessened. The results of this study imply the needs to provide comprehensible inputs to the students so that they can enhance their autonomy. The next study should involve the investigation of the effects of comprehensible inputs in an English camp toward learnersÔÇÖ autonomy.
