Abstract

This research analyzes the experiential meaning in Shakira’s song “Try Everything” using Halliday’s (1994) transitivity framework within Systemic Functional Linguistics. Employing a descriptive qualitative design, the research examines processes, participants, and circumstances in the lyrics to reveal how human experiences of perseverance, optimism, and personal growth are constructed. Findings indicate that material processes dominate, highlighting actions, repeated efforts, and resilience in overcoming challenges. Mental processes convey desire, awareness, and acceptance of failure, representing internal reflection, while relational processes express general truths and shared human experiences. Verbal processes function as encouragement and self-affirmation, engaging listeners directly. Circumstances of time, cause, purpose, and concession provide context, situating experiences in realistic conditions. Overall, the interaction of these transitivity elements demonstrates that the song communicates motivational messages through multidimensional representations of action, cognition, relational values, and communication. This research contributes to understanding how inspirational music conveys human experience and positive life values through linguistic choices.

Abstract

This research explores the integration of Project-Based Learning (PjBL) as a pedagogical approach for enhancing descriptive writing skills about athletes among Grade X students at SMKS-1 Tamansiswa. Utilizing a descriptive qualitative methodology through a case research framework, data were gathered via classroom observations, semi-structured interviews, and the analysis of students’ written compositions. The results demonstrate that PjBL was executed in a well-organized manner, following clearly defined project stages that fostered a student-centered learning environment. Students demonstrated active engagement in research and writing processes, which contributed significantly to their development in essential writing components such as content, vocabulary, grammar, and organization. The choice of authentic, interest-based topics served to boost motivation and participation, while effective teacher facilitation and peer feedback further supported students’ writing progress. Despite encountering some challenges related to information accessibility, the overall outcomes indicate a positive impact on students’ descriptive writing abilities. This research concludes that PjBL serves as a highly effective teaching strategy for cultivating descriptive writing skills within EFL vocational education settings.
