Abstract

This study aims to investigate the impact of the Reed-Kellogg System of sentence diagramming on the enhancement of understanding active and passive sentences in English among first-semester students in the Bachelor's program of Management and the Diploma program in Accounting. The research employs a quantitative experimental design, where data is collected from an experimental group that receives instruction through the Reed-Kellogg sentence diagramming method and a control group that is taught using conventional methods. The sample consists of 16 students in the experimental group and 16 students in the control group. Statistical analysis, including Paired-Sample t-tests, Independent-Sample t-tests, and N-Gain Scores, is conducted using SPSS version 22. The research findings indicate that the significance values (2-tailed) obtained from both the Paired-Sample t-Test and the Independent Sample t-Test are 0.000. This value is less than the threshold of 0.05, leading to the acceptance of the hypothesis that the Reed-Kellogg sentence diagramming method has an effect on the mastery of active and passive sentences in English among first-semester Management and Accounting students. However, the N-Gain Score percentage of 34.15 suggests that the Reed-Kellogg sentence diagramming method may not be effective for teaching active and passive sentences in English to first-semester Management and Accounting students.

Abstract

This Descriptive text is a type of writing that explains or illustrates people, places, and objects by focusing on their physical characteristics or appearances.This study analyzes students’ grammatical errors in using the simple present tense in descriptive texts. Conducted on 24 second-semester English Education students at HKBP Nommensen University Medan, the research used a qualitative descriptive method and surface strategy taxonomy (Dulay et al., 1982) to classify errors into omission, addition, misinformation, and misordering. The population of this research included all second-semester students of the English Education Study Program at HKBP Nommensen University Medan during the academic year of the study. These students had completed Writing I and were enrolled in Writing II, which covers the use of grammatical structures such as the simple present tense in descriptive writing. Using purposive sampling, one class (Class B) was selected, consisting of 24 students who met the criteria and were deemed suitable for analyzing grammatical errors. The primary instrument was a supervised writing task, where students wrote a five-paragraph (200–300 words) descriptive text about a person, place, or thing within 60 minutes. Their texts were analyzed using the Surface Strategy Taxonomy (Dulay, Burt, & Krashen, 1982), which classifies errors into omission, addition, misinformation, and misordering. For data validity, two grammar experts assisted in reviewing and confirming the identified errors through triangulation. From 263 simple present tense usages, 141 (53.61%) were incorrect. The most frequent error was omission (40%), followed by addition (29%), misformation (18%), and misordering (13%). These findings indicate that students still face difficulties in mastering simple present tense, especially in forming grammatically complete sentences.

Abstract

This study investigates the ideational metafunction within the framework of Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL), with a specific focus on Michiwichi's short story Friends. This research aims to find out the types of processes that exist in the story. Four types of processes occur, namely material process, mental process, relational process, and verbal process. Language is examined not merely as a means of communication but also as a vehicle for constructing and representing experiential meaning. The analysis employs the transitivity system, which includes material, mental, relational, and verbal processes to explore how experiences are linguistically structured in the narrative. Adopting a descriptive qualitative approach, the research classifies each clause according to its transitivity elements (process, participant, and circumstance). The findings reveal that the text utilizes diverse process types to encode meaning, with material processes being the most prevalent, followed by mental and relational processes. These results demonstrate how linguistic features are deliberately employed to express the characters' emotions, motivations, and social dynamics. The study underscores the relevance of SFL in literary analysis and affirms that even brief fictional works can provide valuable insights for functional linguistic examination.

Abstract

This study examines the comparative implementation of the Dual-System Curriculum to accommodate government’s standard requirement. The Dual-System curriculum that is mentioned here is the Merdeka Curriculum and the Islamic boarding school (Pesantren) curriculum in the context of English Language Teaching (ELT), seen by comparing the content of textbooks used. The focuses of this research consist of (1) the challenges and strategies in delivering lessons from both distinct textbooks, and (2) the differences between the textbooks (the content). This research employs a qualitative method by comparing both curricula, analyzing the implementation through observation and interviews, and presenting the data chronologically based on the aims of this research. Findings highlight two major things: (1) challenges identified include resource limitations, teacher training needs, and varying student proficiency levels, while the strategies used by the teacher is by applying blended strategies (incorporating communicative activities) within the framework of the pesantren curriculum and structuring grammar-focused lessons within the Merdeka curriculum. Finally, this research contributes to the discourse on curriculum design and its role in shaping effective language education in diverse educational contexts.

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

Code mixing of English is a very common phenomenon observed in spoken language in our country. The objective of the research is to analyze the type of code mixing uttered by Raymond Chin, a millennial entrepreneur and content creator from Indonesia who often uploads content in Indonesian mixed with English in his YouTube channel. There are five types of insertion of code-mixing, such as in elements of words, phrases, clauses, hybrid, and repetition. From 83 data of code mixing found in one of his YouTube contents, entitled “Bangun Siang = Orang Miskin? Orang Sukses Bangun Jam 5 Pagi”, insertion of the word shows 53 data or 63.85 % which consist word class of noun, verb and adjective.  In phrase shows  23 data ( 27.71 %) which consist of noun, adjective, verb, and prepositional phrases. In insertion of the clause shows 4 data (4.81 %) and in repetition shows 3 data (3.61 %) which consist independent clauses.  The most dominant type of insertion of code mixing in this research is insertion of word. Code mixing here occurs when the speaker (Raymond Chin) inserts an element of a foreign language (English) in an utterance when he mostly communicates in Indonesian as his first language.
