Abstract

This research focuses on a semiotic analysis of the logo and directional signs at the PT Kereta Api Indonesia (KAI) Medan Station. Utilizing Peirce's theory, this study identifies nine semiotic sign elements emerging from the analysis, with symbols dominating as the most frequently occurring element. The logo of PT KAI Medan, characterized by the use of dark blue color and a line crossing the letter "A," symbolically represents stability, professionalism, and reliability of the company, while directional signs within the company's environment are strategically positioned to provide clear information to station users. This research provides a profound understanding of the use of semiotic signs in assisting station users' navigation and offers a foundation for further research on the effectiveness of semiotic sign usage in the context of public transportation and its impact on user experience.

Abstract

This research is entitled An Analysis of Verbal and Visual Signs in Scarlett’s Advertisement “Get ready to meet Song Joong Ki’s new love”. The purpose of this study is to analyze the verbal and visual signs found in the advertisement and to uncover the meanings behind those signs. This research applies Roland Barthes’ semiotic theory (1957), which consists of three levels of signification: denotation, connotation, and myth. The method used in this research is descriptive qualitative. The data were collected from the official Scarlett advertisement featuring Song Joong Ki, which was published on various digital platforms. The results of the study showed that there were four verbal signs, which consisted of four written verbal elements one audiovisual verbal element: Song Joong Ki’s spoken words in the video, Each of these verbal signs carries both denotative and connotative meanings that contribute to the advertisement’s persuasive power. The analysis shows that the advertisement uses both verbal and visual signs to deliver its message persuasively. The verbal signs, especially the slogan ―Get ready to meet Song Joong Ki’s new love,‖ are loaded with connotative meanings that create curiosity and emotional connection with the audience. Meanwhile, the visual signs—including color schemes (dominated by soft pink and white), product layout, Song Joong Ki’s gestures and facial expressions—complement the verbal messages and reinforce Scarlett’s brand identity. The study also reveals the presence of myths related to beauty standards, the influential power of celebrities, and the idealization of romantic love. Through this advertisement, Scarlett constructs a narrative that beauty, brightness, and love are attainable through the use of their products

Abstract

Abstract One of the main goals in learning English as an academic subject in Indonesia is to equip students with the ability to communicate effectively, both verbally and in writing. However, many students experience anxiety when asked to speak in English. These psychological barriers significantly inhibit their confidence and willingness to engage in verbal communication. This study explores the various forms and levels of anxiety experienced by students of the class of 2024 of the English Education Study Program at HKBP Nommensen University Medan. Using a qualitative method through a closed questionnaire and supported by class observation, this study identified emotional and behavioral indicators that are signs of language anxiety. The results show that most college students show moderate to high levels of anxiety, which often manifest in the form of fear, embarrassment, and hesitation when speaking in English. These findings confirm the importance of attention to affective factors in the language learning process to improve students' speaking skills and overall academic performance. Keywords: language anxiety, speaking skills, English education, psychological barriers, affective factors

Using Lawrence Venuti's framework of domestication and foreignization. the research investigates how ideological choices influence the emotional and cultural conveyance of song lyrics across languages Employing a qualitative descriptive method, twelve lyrical segments were examined to identify translation strategies and ideological tendencies. The results show a dominant use of domestication (58.3%), where the lyrics are adapted for emotional relatability and fluency in English, using strategies like modulation and adaptation Foreignization (41 7%) appears in instances preserving cultural elements, such as religious references and familial terms. The translator's use of five main strategies literal translation, modulation, adaptation, transposition, and reduction-demonstrates a flexible, nuanced approach to lyric translation. This study concludes that the English version reflects a balance between cultural fidelity and accessibility, contributing to a deeper understanding of translation ideologies in the

Abstract

This research was conducted based on the problem, namely second semester students in the English Education Program FSB UNG face the problem of lack of knowledge in composing narrative texts, especially strategies for getting ideas and organizing them into paragraphs. This condition makes most students reluctant to learn to write. There are complicated rules in writing that cannot be ignored, when students write something, they must pay more attention to spelling, punctuation, diction, grammar, the purpose of their writing, and their own writing ideas. In addition, they are confused about how to start writing ideas into a good narrative text. This study collected qualitative data using observation techniques, narrative writing tests, and interviews. The results are; first, students have difficulty organizing ideas in narrative writing. Second; lack of vocabulary, which makes students write sentences that are less communicative. Finally; students are confused about the correctness of the grammar they compose. Based on the results of the analysis, the researcher concluded that there are three reasons that cause students to have difficulty in starting to write. First, organizing ideas, when students are able to express what they want to write but have difficulty putting it into written form. Second, a lack of vocabulary leads students to write less communicative sentences. Finally, due to a lack of grammatical accuracy, students are confused about their writing. Previous research has found similar student difficulties with vocabulary, grammar, and linguistics, including research by Marzona et al. (2019), Nandha et al. (2022), and Fadilah et al. (2024). All of these issues make it difficult for students to begin writing.
