Abstract

This study aims to gather empirical evidence on whether there is a significant difference in students' achievement in understanding English vocabulary when using the TPR method compared to those who do not. The researcher conducted this study in grades V (A and B) of SDN 5 Maros, located at Jl. Lanto Dg. Pasewang No. 12, Maros. In this study, the researcher used the quasi-experimental method by selecting two groups as research samples, namely the experimental and control classes. The researcher used purposive sampling as a sampling technique because it could provide the information needed in the study. The researcher chose class V A as the experimental class and class V B as the control class. In addition, these two classes were more accessible, so the researcher chose them as research subjects. The research subjects totaled 42 students. The authors conducted a pre-test in both classes before carrying out the treatment. In addition, the researchers used the TPR Method to teach English vocabulary in the experimental class. After the treatment, a post-test was conducted in both classes to determine the effectiveness of the TPR Method in teaching English vocabulary in the experimental class. From the study results, it was found that after receiving treatment with the TPR method, the experimental class experienced a significant improvement in English vocabulary acquisition. Although initially, they had lower pre-test scores than the control class (84.4% vs 88.3%), after the treatment, they recorded a considerable improvement in the post-test (88.8%). This shows that the TPR method is effective in helping learners understand and remember English vocabulary well.Keywords: TPR Method,;Young Learners; English Vocabulary

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the types of figurative language in the song album “Eternal Sunshine” by Ariana Grande using Perrine's (1982) theory. The analysis method used refers to the semantic approach by considering Leech's (1981) theory to explore the meaning in various types of figurative language. The research data was obtained from the extraction of 29 figurative language sentences consisting of metaphor (2), simile (6), personification (1), hyperbole (11), apostrophe (1), understatement (2), irony (4), and metonymy (2). The analysis also identified two main categories of meaning that are frequently used, namely associative meaning and connotative meaning. This research provides a deep insight into how Ariana Grande uses different types of figurative language to enrich the reader's experience and convey a profound message in “Eternal Sunshine.” Our analysis reveals the album's distinctive use of figurative language, characterized by the prominence of metaphor and hyperbole. While previous research on albums such as “Thank you, next” by DeniArnita Hulu and “Runaway” by Putu Yoga found similes and metaphors to be the dominant forms of figurative language, our study highlights the dominance of hyperbole in “Eternal Sunshine.” In addition, the novel shows a balanced variety of figurative techniques and a clear distinction between associative and connotative meanings. This research is expected to contribute to the understanding of literature and the use of figurative language in modern literary works.Keywords: Figurative Language; Perrine; Leech; Song; Eternal Sunshine
