Moreover, the discussion andresult are affirmed and evaluated by utilizing the relevant existing studiesand research. The scoop and limitation in this study are that the subject isreferring to the Indonesian students that learn the English language as aforeign language in formal education school.The study found that this phenomenon is happening because of thepedagogical need based on the standard formal education school curriculumin Indonesia that focusing English as a communication language rather thananything else. A teacher neither needs nor bother to explain the languagein a deeper sense of meaning and only teaches what is necessary for thestudent requirement. This makes the English language used in Indonesianschools lose its true meaning and understanding because of the differencein intercultural understanding. This mostly happens in a school that useslocalized English that has been adapted in our culture and habits as foreignspeakers. Hence some vocabularies and phrases end up being simplified toreduce teacher time effort to explain further about language meaning andtruth.

Inside Out is anAmerican animated film directed by Pete Docter and produced by JonasRivera, released in 2015. The qualitative method is used to evaluate thisresearch because it can be used to focus on an interpretive, naturalisticapproach to its subject matter. The primary data is taken from the filmInside Out. Secondary data would be gathered from any sources related tosemiotics theory on the relationship between colour and human emotions,as well as to eliminate unnecessary data and solidify the research. RileyAndersen, the main character, was born in Minnesota, and the fivemanifestations of emotion in her mind are Joy (yellow), Sadness (blue),Anger (red), Disgust (green), and Fear (purple). These emotions reside inRiley’s mind’s Headquarters, where they set Riley’s state of action andturn it into a memory.Therefore, each character with a specific color ischallenging to be studied further.It begins with an overview of each colorand emotion before delving into the specifics of the relationship betweenthese emotions and the colors associated with them. This study employsRoland Barthes’ semiotic theory, which has three aspects containingdenotation, connotation, and myth, interpreting signs. To learn more, it isnecessary to dig into the changing history of society’s association of thesecolors with these five emotions.
