<![CDATA[The semiotic phenomenon is known to be closely related in the field of communication. This research especially focuses on the semiosis process identified from Cinta Laura Kiehl’s Instagram captions as a famous celebrity in Indonesia. The semiotic sign relation is seen through her captions that do not only include the text but also a form of icon reflected through emoticons added in the captions. This study applied qualitative research method to present the data analysis. Moreover, this research also uses several guiding perceptions with the main theory of sign relation by Charles Sanders Peirce and the supporting perception of happiness by Martin Seligman. There are several results determined from this research. The first result shows that the symbol sign relations in Cinta’s Instagram captions are in the form of texts that conveyed meaning in the expression of happiness that Cinta shares based on her life. Moreover, the emoticons in her Instagram captions have the function to enhance the expressions and contexts that the symbol initially stands for. The second result shows that the signs of happiness from Cinta’s Instagram captions are divided into two main aspects of relationship and achievements.

<![CDATA[It has been argued that demotivation can negatively affect learners’ interests in language learning. Thus, teaching strategies need to be performed in order to prevent or overcome demotivation. In this regard, using technology improves learners’ motivation and reduces demotivation. As a part of technology integration into language classrooms, digital storytelling can be one of the strategies taken to reduce learners’ demotivation. The present study is a conceptual study that aims to describe the potential benefits of integrating digital storytelling in EFL classrooms in trying times such as the Covid-19 pandemic. Besides discussing the merits of technology integration, especially digital storytelling in language classrooms, the present study will suggest strategies to integrate digital storytelling to increase motivation and decrease demotivation. The present study may merit educators and researchers interested in the discussions about using technology to minimize demotivation during challenging times such as the Covid-19 pandemic.]]>
