Abstract

Language allows humans to communicate by sending explicit or implicit messages. Figurative language is used to communicate indirectly in literature. A song that uses figurative language may confuse the listener with the meaning. This study investigated figurative language and the meaning of six songs from the album " Good Luck to You, Girl Scout!" There are two research questions: 1) What types of figurative language are used in the album "Good Luck to You, Girl Scout" by The Black Skirts? 2) What does The Black Skirts' album "Good Luck to You, Girl Scout!" figurative language mean? The researcher used Perrine’s theory (1977) and Leech’s theory (1981) to answer the research questions. Qualitative research was used to gather and analyze data from the album's lyrics. The study found metaphor, simile, personification, apostrophe, synecdoche, metonymy, symbol, hyperbole, and allusion. The implications of the usage of figurative language were exposed when the researcher determined the type, and it turns out that this song album was about heartbreak, betrayal, and longing for a lover or ex-lover.

Abstract

Engagement with academic texts is essential in undergraduate education, contributing significantly to students’ intellectual development and academic achievement. This study aims to analyze the strategies used by undergraduate students at a university to regulate their motivation in reading academic texts. This study specifically examines the use of motivation regulation strategies, including intrinsic and extrinsic goals, help-seeking behavior, peer collaboration, and self-regulation. A mixed-methods research design was used, combining quantitative and qualitative data collected through closed-ended and open-ended questionnaires from students of the English Education Study Program. The results showed a dominant reliance on extrinsic motivators, such as achieving high grades, while intrinsic motivation was relatively weaker. Students tended to seek help from peers more often than lecturers, and self-regulation techniques such as skimming and selective reading were commonly used. This study encourages the development of targeted interventions to enhance intrinsic motivation and improve support mechanisms for students who face difficulties in academic reading. It is recommended that educators encourage the use of a balance of intrinsic and extrinsic motivation strategies to facilitate deeper engagement with academic materials.
