Abstract

This study aims to determine and describe the figurative language used in short stories. The research data were in the form of speech in text extracts, and were collected through document analysis using descriptive qualitative methods. The data were selected purposively. Data are selected using a coding system to identify data using figurative language. The selected data were analyzed using several Hymes communication ethnographic components which separate language form and language meaning. Figurative language is classified into types of figures based on the Kennedy theory. there are ten types of figurative language, namely: Metaphor, Simile, Personification, Pleonasm, Hyperbola, Repetition, Rhetoric, Ellipsis. The results of this study are expected to provide information about various figurative languages ​​and messages. behind it and knowing how figurative language is used in literary works, especially in short stories for students. In addition, it is also hoped that it can be useful for English language lecturers as input and consideration for applying some material about types of figurative language, especially those used in short stories. Other researchers can use the findings of this study as a reference for conducting further research on similar issues.

Abstract

The study investigated the impact of game-based learning using Wordwall media in enhancing learning outcomes and student engagement among eighth-grade students in an English grammar lesson. This research was initiated to address low grammar mastery and engagement at the research location, where preliminary data showed an average pretest score of 67.4 with most students failing to meet the minimum passing criteria. This study used a quantitative pre-experimental design with a pretest-posttest one-group design, involving 20 students. Data were collected through pretest-posttest assessments and observations measuring behavioral, emotional, and cognitive engagement. Paired t-test results showed significant improvement in learning outcomes, with a mean score increase of 14.20 (SD = 5.58). The calculated t-value was 11.384, exceeding the critical t-table value of 2.093 at df = 19, and the two-sided significance value was 0.000, confirming statistical significance. Observations revealed increased engagement across all three dimensions. These findings demonstrate the efficacy of game-based learning in enhancing academic performance and student engagement, offering an effective solution to the learning challenges identified. Further research is recommended to explore long-term effects and applicability across different subjects and age groups.
