Abstract

Songs are written in artistic language. The artistic language is called figurative language in literature. This study is a descriptive study of figurative language in traditional Timorese songs. Timorese songs have figurative meanings hidden in the lyrics. Finding out figurative language's types and meanings is exciting and challenging. Therefore, the research objectives are to identify the types of figurative language and their meanings. This study was a documentary study using the qualitative method. The data was collected by reviewing 11 Timorese songs. The research procedures were downloading the songs (videos) from YouTube, transcribing and translating the data, identifying the figurative language, classifying them into types, analyzing and interpreting the meanings, and concluding. Data analysis used Miles and Huberman's data analysis; data reduction, data display, and data conclusion or verification. The research found seven types of figurative language; 1) simile (four sentences), 2) metaphor (three sentences), 3) allegory (four sentences), 4) personification (four sentences), 5) antonomasia (one sentence), and 6) epithet (three sentences). Figurative language in Timorese songs is a description the songwriter uses to explain meaning through unusual comparisons to attract attention and make something more straightforward. Future research on figurative language in traditional songs can be done to find more types and meanings.

Abstract

This study aimed to enhance vocabulary mastery in teaching synonyms and antonyms using smart box media among eleventh-grade students at SMA Kristen 1 Kupang. Employing a classroom experimental design, researchers conducted pre-tests, applied treatment using smart box media, and followed up with post-tests to evaluate outcomes. Quantitative analysis of the scores revealed significant improvement, substantiating the efficacy of the intervention. Initially, students in the experimental class scored a cumulative 790 in the pre-test. After implementing smart box media, their total post-test score increased to 1300, marking a 64% improvement. The calculation used for these scores involved dividing the number of correct responses by the total number of questions, multiplying by 100, and summing all individual scores. The overall percentage increase was derived using a formula where the difference between the final and initial results was divided by the initial score and multiplied by 100. These results indicate that smart box media is a powerful tool for enhancing vocabulary acquisition. The significant score increases highlights that integrating innovative teaching aids can substantially boost student engagement and learning effectiveness. Thus, the study concludes that the use of smart box media in teaching vocabulary, particularly synonyms and antonyms, is highly effective and beneficial for eleventh-grade students at SMA Kristen 1 Kupang, offering a promising approach for vocabulary instruction in similar educational contexts.
