Abstract

This study investigates the complex interrelationship between language and emotion, looking at how vocabulary and linguistic patterns influence how people express and comprehend their emotions. Based on multidisciplinary research from the fields of psychology, linguistics, and neuroscience, the study emphasises how language functions as a medium for emotional communication, impacting interpersonal relationships and personal identity. The concept of emotional intelligence and its relationship to language skills are discussed in the study, along with cultural differences in emotional lexicons. The results of qualitative and quantitative assessments show that language is essential for controlling and interpreting emotions in addition to reflecting emotional states. This piece adds to the larger conversation of how cognitive functions and emotional experiences interact, arguing that language is an essential for emotions and the formation of social bonds.

Abstract

Vocabulary mastering is essential in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learning; however, many Indonesian public junior high school pupils continue to have major lexical weaknesses. The purpose of this study is to look into the lack of vocabulary mastery among seventh- and eighth-grade students at a public junior high school in Indonesia, as well as to discover the underlying causes of this problem. Data for 96 students were acquired using a qualitative descriptive technique, including classroom observations, student interviews, and teacher reports. According to the findings, students displayed inadequate vocabulary recognition, poor retention, and a low ability to utilise words effectively in context. Seventh-grade students had difficulty with basic word memory and expressed significant levels of fear and unwillingness to speak, whereas eighth-grade students struggled with pronunciation, grammatical word forms, and inconsistent vocabulary use. Traditional teaching approaches that emphasise rote memorisation without adequate contextual exposure were found as a primary contributor to children' restricted vocabulary development. The findings also show that a lack of relevant language input and limited possibilities for active vocabulary use had a negative impact on students' confidence and communicative skills. This study finds that enhancing vocabulary mastery necessitates instructional strategies that emphasise contextualised learning, regular exposure, and active participation with high-frequency terms. The findings have pedagogical implications for English teachers and policymakers in Indonesian junior high schools, helping to improve vocabulary training and promote long-term language development.
