Abstract

This study investigates the integration of a gamified Word Wall in vocabulary instruction and examines students’ perceptions and engagement with this Word Wall. Conducted with ten students from the English Education Study Program at Universitas PGRI Delta Sidoarjo, the research employed a descriptive qualitative design. Data were gathered through observations, interviews, and field notes. The findings suggest that incorporating gamification elements such as points, challenges, and collaborative tasks enhanced students’ motivation, vocabulary retention, and active participation. Students engaged actively in group and individual activities, communicated effectively, and responded positively to learning challenges. Despite these benefits, the study identified challenges including limited instructional time and varying levels of student motivation. Some participants found the activities demanding, especially when balancing academic workloads. Overall, the use of the gamified Word Wall contributed to a positive, interactive, and student-centered learning environment. The study highlights the importance of considering learners’ individual differences and educational contexts to ensure the sustainability of gamified strategies. These insights offer practical implications for enhancing vocabulary learning through engaging, participatory methods.

Abstract

This study explores the use of deixis in Olivia Rodrigo's song "Happier." It examines how deixis constructs emotional meaning and narrative coherence through linguistic elements. The focus is on identifying and analyzing five types of deixis: person, temporal, spatial, social, and discourse. This analysis interprets how language operates pragmatically within the song. Using a qualitative descriptive method, the research applies Levinson's framework for a detailed textual analysis. The song was selected purposively due to its emotional depth and linguistic richness. The findings reveal that person deixis is the most dominant type. It reflects the narrator's shifting emotional position toward her ex-partner and his new relationship. Temporal deixis marks the emotional timeline of the breakup. Meanwhile, spatial deixis subtly conveys psychological distance. Social deixis uncovers power dynamics and feelings of inferiority. Discourse deixis helps maintain the coherence of the emotional narrative. Each type of deixis contributes to building a layered and affective discourse that enhances the song's emotional resonance. The study concludes that deixis functions not only as a grammatical tool but also as an expressive and narrative device in popular music. The song "Happier" exemplifies how deixis can encode emotional complexity. This makes it a useful medium for both linguistic analysis and language learning. The research recommends further studies on deixis in multiple songs to gain broader insights into its stylistic and pragmatic functions.

Abstract

This study identifies and analyzes the types of figurative language in Leony Jardine's poetry collection The Moon and Her Secrets, interpreting their contextual meanings through a pragmatic perspective. Employing a qualitative descriptive method and Keraf’s classification, the research reveals that metaphor is the most frequently used device, followed by simile, with limited occurrences of personification, allusion, eponym, epithet, hypallage, irony, satire, and innuendo. These figurative expressions serve not only as stylistic devices but also convey emotional, symbolic, and interpersonal meanings shaped by context and speaker intention. Through close reading and contextual analysis, this study demonstrates how figurative language acts as a pragmatic strategy in poetic communication, enhancing the reader’s emotional engagement and understanding of the text. The findings indicate that poetic language fulfills both aesthetic and communicative purposes in expressing complex human experiences.

Abstract

This community engagement project was conducted in Cendono Village, East Java, aiming to transform cow dung into charcoal briquettes as a sustainable energy solution. The main objective was to educate and empower local cattle farmers through a community-based research (CBR) approach. Activities included awareness sessions, training, and hands-on briquette production. Participants were taught the complete process, including drying, mixing, molding, and testing the briquettes. The trial phase showed that the briquettes produced optimal burning duration and sufficient heat output for household cooking. This initiative served as both a waste management strategy and an economic empowerment tool. Results demonstrated successful community adoption of the briquette-making process, improved awareness of sustainable practices, and the potential to generate supplementary income for rural families. Additionally, the initiative contributed to reducing unmanaged cow dung waste, thus preventing environmental and health issues. This program illustrates the potential of organic waste transformation into renewable energy sources. The experience is expected to inspire other rural communities to adopt similar environmentally friendly and economically beneficial practices.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the role of mothers as learning agents in Kepetingan Hamlet and to analyze the strategies and forms of empowerment activities they implement. Limited access to formal education caused by geographical, economic, social, and cultural factors has encouraged mothers in this area to take an active role by initiating and implementing community-based learning activities. This study employed a qualitative method using a community-based research approach. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and documentation. The findings identify four main forms of mothers’ contributions: (1) the establishment of learning communities to expand children’s access to education, (2) the utilization of external support, including student community service programs, (3) effective time management in balancing domestic responsibilities and educational roles, and (4) creativity in utilizing local media as learning tools. These results indicate that mothers’ roles extend beyond that of learning companions to include functions as facilitators, innovators, and drivers of community-level learning activities. Such roles not only contribute to improving the quality of children’s learning but also promote women’s empowerment and strengthen social solidarity. Thus, mothers play a significant role in fostering educational self-reliance and transforming community-based societies.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the segmental phonological features found in the speech of Abele’s American English and Roger’s Singapore English as represented in the Clash of Champions program by Ruangguru. The study employs a descriptive qualitative approach and analyzes naturally occurring speech produced by two speakers featured in the program. The findings indicate that Roger’s speech, representing Singapore English, consistently demonstrates non-rhoticity, vowel centralization, shortened vowel duration, and diphthong reduction. In contrast, Abele’s speech, representing American English, consistently exhibits rhoticity, full diphthongization, and clear tense–lax vowel distinctions, aligning with General American English patterns. These segmental features appear systematically in spontaneous discourse, suggesting that accent-specific segmental phonological patterns are deeply internalized. This study contributes to the understanding of phonological variation within World Englishes by examining authentic spoken interaction rather than isolated speech samples.

Abstract

Low levels of active participation and learning motivation remain persistent challenges in English language classrooms that rely heavily on lecture-based instruction and textbook-centered practices. Such conventional approaches often create a monotonous learning environment, particularly in reading activities that require sustained attention and cognitive engagement. These conditions call for more interactive and learner-centered strategies that align with students’ digital learning preferences. One potential alternative is Kahoot!, a game-based quiz platform designed to promote competition, enjoyment, and immediate feedback. This article examines the implementation of Kahoot-based learning as an innovative strategy to enhance students’ reading exercises. Reading is a fundamental language skill; however, learners frequently encounter difficulties due to limited motivation and minimal engagement in traditional instructional settings. By integrating Kahoot into reading activities, classroom interaction becomes more dynamic, participatory, and student-centered. The study aims to investigate how Kahoot-based learning supports reading comprehension, vocabulary development, and learning motivation. The research method involves administering reading exercises through Kahoot quizzes and observing students’ responses and performance during the instructional process. The findings indicate that Kahoot-based learning increases active participation, strengthens motivation, and improves comprehension through instant feedback and competitive elements. Moreover, it fosters a positive classroom climate and encourages collaborative learning. Therefore, Kahoot-based learning represents an effective alternative strategy for improving students’ reading skills.

Abstract

Deixis is an important pragmatic feature in song lyrics because it enables listeners to interpret meaning based on context, perspective, and interpersonal relations between the songwriter and the audience. In linguistic and pragmatic studies, deixis plays a crucial role in constructing narrative voice, emotional expression, and contextual interpretation. Although previous studies have analyzed deixis in various song lyrics, limited attention has been given to how different types of deixis contribute to the expression of internal conflict, identity struggle, and self-reflection in Taylor Swift’s “Anti-Hero”. Therefore, this study aims to identify the types of deixis found in the song lyrics Anti Hero by Taylor Swift and to describe the contextual meaning of those deixis. This research employed a descriptive qualitative method using a pragmatic approach based on Levinson’s (1983) deixis framework. The data source was the official song lyrics obtained from the Genius website and analyzed through systematic identification, classification, and contextual interpretation using an analytical rubric. The findings reveal that the lyrics contain several types of deixis, namely person, temporal, spatial, discourse, and social deixis, each contributing to the construction of meaning within the song. The study concludes that deixis in “Anti-Hero” functions not merely as a grammatical referencing system but as a pragmatic resource that shapes contextual meaning, emotional expression, and self-reflective narrative, allowing listeners to engage with the songwriter’s personal perspective.

Abstract

Accent variation is an important aspect of spoken English, yet descriptive studies of phonological features in spontaneous media interviews remain limited. This study aims to describe the phonological accent features found in the vowels and consonants produced by Anne-Marie (British English) and Ariana Grande (American English) in YouTube interviews. The study employs a qualitative descriptive method using International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) transcription to analyze pronunciation patterns in spontaneous speech. The data consist of two interview segments: one interview of Anne-Marie (2 minutes 16 seconds) and one interview of Ariana Grande (3 minutes 39 seconds). The findings show that Anne-Marie demonstrates British English features such as /ɒ/ vowels, non-rhoticity, stable /ɪ/ realization, and T-glottalization. In contrast, Ariana Grande displays American English features including /ɑː/ vowels, stable /ɪ/ realization, and rhotic pronunciation. These patterns illustrate how phonological accent features systematically reflect speakers’ linguistic identity in natural communication contexts.
