Abstract

This current research aimed at seeing how English nursery rhymes and kids’ songs as learning media support toddlers who are not living in an English speaking country (Indonesia) but exposed to the English language media during their normal baby-sitting times to learning English. To observe how two Indonesian toddlers learned English language in their early critical period of language acquisition through co-watching activity, Early Development Instrument which focuses on language and cognitive development domain with reading awareness and reciting memory subdomain was applied to observe two subjects after 15 month treatments (from age 10-24 months). The results show that the media and the co-watching activity are able to support the toddlers’ understanding of the English words spoken and their ability to produce the intelligent pronunciation of those words. The interesting fact reveals that English which is normatively learned merely as a foreign language to most Indonesian people is no longer something far-off to the toddlers who are exposed to it through English nursery rhymes and kids’ songs online since they are at the very young age. They naturally tend to be bilingual since at the same time they learn their mother tongue.

Language changes and one of the concrete poofs is the existence of new slang words. Slang is an informal language that is widely used by a teenager. Slang words differ for each country; therefore, this study aims to know the input of a successful English learner from Indonesia and the knowledge of Gen Z's English slang. The research was conducted using qualitative data analysis as the method design in order to get a deeper understanding of the respondent and research topic. The result shows that the respondent was exposed to both formal and informal input. Out of 25 questions given about slang words, the respondent was able to define three slang words correctly.

In conclusion, even though the respondent of this research was the best graduate of the English Department, the respondent did not know and follow nowadays English language very well.

Therefore, it can be inferred that Taylor Swift's predominant style is the casual style.

A movie poster conveys the main plot of the film, making it a popular medium for commercial advertising. In this way, movie studios might persuade more people to watch a certain film. As a result, the objective of this study is to use a semiotic method from Barthes to examine the message contained in the verbal and non-verbal parts of the Us movie poster. The data for this study were gathered using descriptive qualitative methods and a literature review. This study examines the verbal and non-verbal elements of a Us movie poster to show how they work together to convey meaning to the viewers and pique their attention. According to the study's findings, each symbol and sign (including verbal and nonverbal features) employed in the film effectively communicates its meaning by association. This study concludes that the signs and symbols utilized in the poster for the movie Us have a purpose and can effectively reflect, portray, and express that meaning.
