Abstract

Games have evolved beyond entertainment and become captivating spectacles with interesting stories and visuals. While most prioritize visuals, Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance is popular in 2022 due to its combination of music and story, making it a phenomenal meme. Because of this phenomenon, the researcher wants to examine how music can enhance the story elements of a game. To get an answer to this phenomenon, the researcher operates Fairclough's critical discourse analysis to examine the seven-song lyrics contained in the game Metal Gear Rising into three dimensions of analysis: microstructure, mesostructure and macrostructure. The researcher found that the song's lyrics enrich the narrative elements of the MGSR series by utilizing six styles of language: symbolism, metaphor, hyperbole, rhetoric, personification, and tautology. This research can provide an initial report on the association between literature, aesthetics and music in popular culture.

Abstract

This research analyzed the effectiveness of Think-Talk-Write (TTW) and Fact-Reason-Elaboration-Shift (FRESH) techniques for teaching writing to students with extroverted and introverted personalities. A quantitative and 2 x 2 factorial research design involved 60 eighth-grade students. Three instruments—a personality questionnaire, observation checklist, and writing test—collected data. Both TTW and FRESH techniques positively impacted the writing abilities of extroverted and introverted students, with TTW showing stronger improvement. Individual characteristics must be considered when selecting teaching techniques. The findings provide evidence of effective writing instruction for different personality types, emphasizing the need for tailored approaches. Future research should explore additional techniques and factors to enhance our understanding of effective writing instruction.

Translation serves multiple purposes, encompassing the expression of emotions, the conveyance of ideas, and the ability to influence others. Figurative language plays a significant role in communicating feelings through the songs we encounter in our daily lives. This study adopts a descriptive qualitative approach to investigate this phenomenon. Content analysis is employed as the analytical technique, aiming to identify the distinct characteristics of messages conveyed through songs and the utilization of figurative language, such as metaphors, hyperboles, similes, euphemisms, and personifications. The findings reveal that the majority of lyrics within the song “21 Guns” contain implicit and profound meanings related to the physical and psychological impacts of war, including the destruction of homes and the loss of soldiers' lives. Furthermore, the song employs a diverse range of language styles, incorporating hyperbole and personification, which contribute to its captivating and meaningful nature

Abstract

This qualitative research explores the nokeso tradition in the Salena environment of Central Sulawesi, Indonesia. It aims to uncover the significance of the symbols within this cultural practice. Conducted in Tipo Village, Ulujadi District, Palu City, the study employed observation, recording, and interviews to gather evidence-based data. Nokeso is an indigenous tradition upheld by the Salena community, originating from the Kaili tribe.

The nokeso ritual includes the symbolic act of tooth brushing, performed by Salena's traditional leaders using a whetstone or guma (traditional machete). The research findings highlight that the 16 tools used in nokeso carry distinct meanings, symbolizing positive outcomes and the well-being of toniasa (daughters) in the collective consciousness of the Salena people.

Abstract

The inconsistency in predicting pronunciation based on English alphabetic spelling is a persistent challenge in English Language Teaching (ELT). This study investigates how 42 first-semester English as a Foreign Language (EFL) students predict sounds represented by <oa> and <oo> digraphs. Using stimuli from a familiar vocabulary list, 408 instances of mispronunciation were identified from 1260 speech data, with 386 as interlingual errors and 24 as intralingual errors. The study concludes that EFL learners heavily rely on their native language (L1) knowledge in perceiving and producing speech in the target language(L2). This research highlights the challenges EFL students face in mastering English pronunciation, emphasizing the need for effective language instruction strategies.

Abstract

This study investigated the impact of using machine translation on vocabulary acquisition and reading comprehension in English as a Second Language (ESL) learners. A total of 60 undergraduate students enrolled in an ESL course were randomly assigned to either an experimental group that used Machine Translation during language learning activities or a control group that did not use Machine Translation. Results showed that the experimental group outperformed the control group in vocabulary acquisition and reading comprehension, while also experiencing a higher cognitive load. The study suggests that while Machine Translation can be a useful tool for ESL learners, it should be used with caution and guidance to prevent negative effects on cognitive load.
