Abstract

This research aimed to determine if using infographics in the eighth grade at SMPN 1 Kota Tangerang Selatan had a significant effect on students' vocabulary mastery. This study employed a quantitative approach and a quasi-experimental design. A total of 78 students participated in the study; 39 from each of the two classes (the experimental and control) were included in the sample. Each class took a pre-and post-test during the first and last meetings. Independent sample t-tests were run in SPSS version 22 to evaluate the hypothesis. The results showed that using infographics enhanced the vocabulary mastery of eighth-graders at SMPN 1 Kota Tangerang Selatan. The effect size was 0.80, with a significance level of 0.001 for the two-tailed Independent T-test (0.001 < 0.05). That supports the moderate size effect and indicates the acceptance of the alternative hypothesis. Thus, using an infographic as a teaching tool provides a significant effect on students' vocabulary mastery.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the semiotic representations of gender inequality within Taylor Swift's song lyrics. Utilizing a descriptive qualitative method, it analyzes the signifier and signified embedded in her music. Drawing upon Ferdinand de Saussure's semiotic theory, the study delves into the material aspects of language—what is seen, heard, or read (signifier)—and the corresponding mental images or concepts (signified). Through a comprehensive analysis of Swift's songs, including "The Man," "Mad Woman," and "Look What You Made Me Do," the research uncovers the pervasive gender gap and mistreatment faced by women in various societal contexts. Data collection involves listening to the songs, understanding their meaning, and observing instances of discrimination against women in daily life. The findings highlight the significance of Swift's music as a platform for discourse on gender inequality, shedding light on the ongoing struggle for women's rights in contemporary society.
