Abstract

This research aims to describe the language style used and the meanings contained in the coffee and tea advertisement on mass media. Researchers chose coffee and tea advertisement in mass media as the object of research. The method in this research was descriptive qualitative. The data collection technique was observation and notetaking. The data collected were categorized according to the type of advertisement and then analyzed one by one using language style theory and semantic theory. The results of this research found 27 data on coffee and tea advertisement containing language styles, consisting of 3 rhetorical language styles (consisting of 1 alliteration, 7 assonances, and 11 hyperboles), then 3 figurative language styles (consisting of 1 personification, 1 simile, and 2 synecdoches), and 4 denotative meaning (does not contain language style), as well as the semantic meaning contained in it. The repetition of consonant sounds always occurs in an alliteration language style. While in assonance, the style of language was in the form of repetition of the same vowel sound to achieve the goal of obtaining a beautiful effect in a sentence. Meanwhile, hyperbola was a style of language that tends to exaggerate the actual reality. In the figurative style, personification was a style of language that describes inanimate objects as if they saw a living creature. In contrast to simile, this style was comparing the similarities of something, and synecdoche was a style of language used to express a whole or a part. While denotative meaning was a language or word that was used to express something that was without any deviation from the word. Hyperbole was the most common language style found in this research.  This was because the advertisement writer wants to highlight the specialty of the coffee and tea products offered by using excessive elements in the advertising language and wants to define a product in an interesting sentence through a short direct comparison. The element of exaggeration in his words was evident in the style of hyperbole.

Abstract

With the rise of globalization, digitization, and the emergence of the fourth industrial revolution, meaning-making modes are now increasingly multimodal in which written linguistics modes of meaning interface with oral, visual, audio, gestural, tactile, and spatial patterns of meaning. In the EFL context, this situation unavoidably urges changes in the goal of English language teaching to include multimodal communicative competence. In response to such challenges, multiliteracies pedagogy offers plausible solutions. In a multiliteracies classroom, students are supported through a pedagogy that provides them with ample opportunities to develop their knowledge and skills to multimodally examine diverse information sources and content, critically explore the information, and become active meaning-makers and effective communicators. This study aims at investigating the implementation of multiliteracies pedagogy in English language teaching to foster students’ multimodal communicative competence. This is a qualitative case study involving twenty students of the English language department of IAIN Curup. The data of the study are gained through observation, interviews, and students’ artefacts.  The data collected from these instruments were examined qualitatively using thematic and categorical coding. The result of this study demonstrates the enactment of multiliteracies pedagogy can develop five competences of multimodal communicative competence: linguistic competence, sociocultural competence, interactional competence, discourse competence, and multimodal competence. Meanwhile the other two competences, strategic competence and formulaic competence, are somewhat hindered due to lack of exposure to authentic English language.
