Abstract

This study seeks to identify the intertextual elements in Matsuri and explore how they contribute to a cohesive understanding of the piece, focusing on its relationship to Japanese culture and spirituality. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed, using textual analysis to examine Matsuri as both a verbal and visual text. Data was gathered from library sources, including written texts and media related to Kojiki, the ancient Japanese text that inspired the album's themes. Matsuri incorporates both verbal and visual texts. Verbal elements include references to Kojiki and titles in the album, while visual elements involve traditional Japanese instruments like the Taiko drum, which connect the music to Japanese rituals and festivals. This blend of traditional and modern influences highlights cultural continuity within Japan’s modern identity. The intertextuality in Matsuri reveals its dual role as a reflection of Japanese cultural heritage and as a medium for personal and communal identity formation. The persistence of traditional practices, even as they evolve with modernization, underscores the enduring significance of rituals like Matsuri in Japanese society.

Abstract

This research explores the role of metaphor in the lyrics of Sia's 1000 Forms of Fear album, examining how figurative language enhances the emotional and conceptual effects of the songs. Using a qualitative methodology, this study classifies metaphors into ontological, structural, and orientational categories according to Lakoff and Johnson's framework. The results reveal the dominance of ontological metaphors, which transform abstract feelings into concrete experiences, allowing listeners to engage deeply with themes of resilience, vulnerability, and mental challenges. The research emphasizes the cognitive and emotional role of metaphors in music, illustrating how metaphors assist listeners in understanding complex feelings and stories. The study highlights that metaphorical language in music not only deepens lyrical content but also enhances emotional resonance, ultimately expanding our understanding of the function of music in conveying complex human experiences.

Abstract

The rapid development of the global economy and trade has positioned China as a major power, making Mandarin a strategic communication tool in international business. In this context, the role of translation is crucial in bridging linguistic and cultural differences between business partners. Translating Mandarin business communication requires linguistic expertise and a deep understanding of cultural values, communication styles, and business ethics to convey messages effectively without causing misunderstandings. Additional challenges arise from the abundance of technical terms unique to business, finance, and legal contexts, which demand precise terminology and appropriate adaptation in the target language. This study aims to analyze current trends in Mandarin business communication translation through a literature review, identify effective translation approaches and techniques, and highlight the challenges and role of technology in business translation. The findings of this study are expected to provide insights for practitioners, translators, and academics to better understand the complexities of Mandarin business translation and to support more efficient cross-cultural business interactions.

Abstract

This study looks at the use of Wordwall as a digital learning aid to increase student motivation in Class 7H at UPT SMP Negeri 37 Medan. Traditional teaching approaches frequently result in a lack of student involvement, which reduces motivation and learning results. Wordwall, an interactive educational platform, includes engaging activities including quizzes, word searches, and matching games that encourage students to actively engage in the learning process. To examine student perspectives and learning results, a qualitative study approach was used, which included observations, pre- and post-test evaluations, questionnaires, and documentation. The findings show a considerable increase in students' desire and knowledge, as evidenced by an increase in average score from 60.93% (pre-test) to 81.25% (post-test), a 33.34% improvement. Furthermore, questionnaire results indicated that the majority of students chose Wordwall over traditional ways of learning because it is more participatory and engaging. The study finds that Wordwall is a useful digital learning tool for increasing student motivation, engagement, and academic success. Educators should include Wordwall into their teaching practices to foster a more dynamic and collaborative learning environment. Future study might investigate Wordwall's long-term influence and compare its efficacy to other digital learning aids.

Abstract

The language that emerges in interactions between individuals reflects the close relationship between language and culture, which contributes to the mindset and behavior of individuals. As a means of expression, language not only functions as a means of communication, but also as a reflection of how a person understands the world around them. Language reflects an individual's identity, shapes thinking habits, and influences how individuals interact with others. In the realm of language psychology, language is seen as an important factor in building perceptions, emotions, and effective communication patterns. Language is not only limited to verbal aspects, but also includes nonverbal expressions that help shape communication in guidance and counseling. Counselors who are able to use language cohesively, coherently, accurately, and meaningfully will be more effective in building empathetic relationships with clients. In the counseling process, the language used by the counselor must be able to create a comfortable, supportive atmosphere, and encourage clients to express their thoughts honestly. Thus, language becomes the main tool in building healthy communication, directing clients towards better self-understanding, and helping them find solutions to the problems they face. This study will further explore how the language used by counselors and the language responses of clients can affect the effectiveness of communication in guidance and counseling services. This study will examine the strategy of using appropriate language in the context of education and language psychology, in order to optimize the interaction between counselors and clients and improve the quality of counseling services.

Abstract

This study examines the difficulties faced by English teachers at Telkom Schools Medan when instructing reading to students who don't speak the language well. Using a qualitative case study methodology, information was gathered via document analysis, classroom observations, and interviews. Limited student vocabulary, poor comprehension of narrative text structure, inference difficulties, low motivation, and a lack of instructional resources are the five main issues identified by the findings. These issues make it difficult for teachers to provide effective instruction and impair students' reading comprehension. Teachers employ techniques like scaffolding, differentiated instruction, and the use of multimodal materials in spite of the obstacles. However, the lack of institutional support frequently limits their efforts. In order to promote reading development in EFL contexts, the study emphasises the necessity of enhanced teacher preparation, enriched learning materials, and greater institutional cooperation.

Abstract

This qualitative study looks at how English teachers use code switching in the classroom, focusing on its types, functions, and how it affects teaching in an Indonesian EFL setting. The study took place at a junior high school in Medan and included classroom observations and semi-structured interviews with a small number of English teachers. The results showed that code switching is Often used as a strategic teaching tool to help students understand better, control classroom interactions, and give emotional support. Teachers often switched codes between sentences and within sentences, mostly going from English to Bahasa Indonesia. The study found that code switching has a number of teaching uses, such as helping students understand concepts, translating vocabulary, and keeping students interested. Teachers thought code switching was a good thing because it helped people with different languages talk to each other in a meaningful way. But there were worries that people might rely too much on their first language, which could make it harder for them to learn English. The study's conclusion is that code switching can help teachers do their jobs well in EFL classrooms if they use it wisely. It suggests that teachers come up with clear plans for using code switching and that more research be done on how students feel about it and how it affects their learning.
