Abstract

This study examines the effectiveness of combining digital flashcards with the Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) approach to enhance interest and communication skills in English among elementary school children. Conducted at SD Negeri 058116 Kwala Sawit in Tangkahan, a rural tourist area in North Sumatra, the research employed a Classroom Action Research (CAR) model to test the impact of this innovative method in an under-resourced educational setting. The study involved 56 grades 5 and 6 students who completed two planning cycles: implementation, observation, and reflection. Results indicated a substantial increase in students' interest and engagement, with a 10.25% improvement in learning interest. Moreover, student proficiency in conversational English rose, as 72% of fifth graders and 78% of sixth graders demonstrated correct responses in practical dialogues after the intervention, a rise from the initial 40%. This study offers insights into the potential of digital, interactive tools to support language acquisition, especially in rural or resource-limited environments. These findings suggest that digital flashcards, combined with CLT, can provide a sustainable and engaging approach to language learning, fostering enthusiasm and communicative competence in young learners.

Abstract

Background: The abstract doesn't explicitly state a specific problem. It focuses on exploring the semantic richness of Taylor Swift's lyrics. Purpose: To identify and elucidate the different types of meaning embedded within Taylor Swift's song lyrics and understand how these meanings contribute to the overall emotional and thematic expression of the songs. Design/methods/approach: A descriptive qualitative approach, analyzing the lyrics of Taylor Swift's most popular songs based on Spotify records in 2024, using Geoffrey Leech’s theory of the seven types of meaning. Findings: Affective meaning is the most dominant type in Swift’s songs, In the song "Fortnight," affective meaning constitutes 25% of the analyzed lyrics, Taylor Swift’s lyrics are characterized by a rich semantic texture, where emotional and conceptual meanings interplay. Research implications/limitations: The abstract doesn't explicitly mention limitations. However, a potential implication is that the findings contribute to a broader understanding of how contemporary song lyrics function as a medium for complex emotional and thematic communication. Originality/value: The abstract suggests the study offers new insights into Taylor Swift's lyrical artistry by applying Leech's semantic framework. It also implies a contribution to the field of semantics by analyzing how meaning is constructed in contemporary song lyrics.
