Abstract

This study investigates students’ responses toward the implementation of hybrid and online SPADA UNTIRTA in teaching English for Specific Purposes (ESP) to first-semester economics students at Sultan Ageng Tirtayasa University. The research employed a qualitative-descriptive design, combining Likert-scale questionnaire data with open-ended student feedback and classroom observations. Two different learning modalities were compared: a hybrid model that blends face-to-face classroom sessions with asynchronous SPADA activities, and a fully online model that delivers all instruction via the SPADA platform. Findings reveal that students in the hybrid class responded positively to direct interaction with the lecturer, structured learning guidance, and the opportunity for peer collaboration. Meanwhile, students in the online class appreciated the flexibility and independence afforded by the digital platform but also reported challenges such as a lack of real-time feedback and reduced motivation. The results suggest that while both learning modes support student engagement in different ways, the hybrid model is more effective in maintaining interpersonal connection and motivation, while the online model is more suitable for self-regulated learners. These insights underscore the importance of aligning instructional design with learner preferences and capacities. Practical implications include integrating synchronous elements into online courses and providing learner training to optimize the process of delivering ESP materials in hybrid and online models.

Abstract

This research analyzes the use of figurative language in the lyrics of the song “Let It Go” by Idina Menzel, which is widely known as a theme song of Disney’s “Frozen”. The study aims to identify and classify various types of figurative language, such as metaphor, simile, personification, hyperbole, idiom, alliteration, and symbolic expressions, and interpret their meanings using a qualitative descriptive approach. Drawing on Ferdinand de Saussure’s semiotic theory, the research decodes the song’s linguistic signs (signifier and signified) to explore how language shapes meaning, emotion, and imagery in the lyrics. The findings show that the lyrics are rich in figurative expressions that represent Queen Elsa’s inner transformation, emotional struggles, and the symbolism of freedom and empowerment. Hyperboles and personifications are used to enhance the imagery of Elsa’s magical powers, while similes and metaphors illustrate emotional depth and resilience. The study concludes that figurative language in “Let It Go” not only adds aesthetic value but also serves as a powerful medium to convey character development and thematic elements such as identity, self-acceptance, and liberation. This research highlights the importance of understanding figurative language in songs to grasp deeper meanings and emotional nuances.
