Abstract

This study investigates the use of figurative language expressing romantic infatuation in selected songs by Sabrina Carpenter. It employs a descriptive qualitative method and applies Knickerbocker and Reninger’s (1974) theoretical framework to examine six types of figurative language: simile, metaphor, personification, hyperbole, irony, and symbol. The study aims to analyze how these figurative elements function semantically to convey emotional depth and thematic meaning, particularly in relation to romantic infatuation. The data were obtained from purposively selected song lyrics based on their emotional relevance. The findings reveal 25 figurative expressions in total, with metaphor being the most frequently used, followed by hyperbole, simile, symbol, personification, and irony. Functionally, these expressions are primarily used to depict emotional pain, intensify feelings, express longing, and evoke personal memories. These results indicate that Sabrina Carpenter’s lyrics utilize figurative language as a meaningful semantic tool to express complex emotional experiences, especially those connected to romantic feelings and vulnerability.

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the implementation of the Daily English Conversation (DEC) program and its role in improving students' speaking skills at the Walisongo Islamic boarding school. This study employed a qualitative approach, using a case study method. Data were collected through interviews and observations. This research involves 40 students from Class 4 of the Language Improvement Section (LIS), who actively participated in a daily English conversation program. The interview participants included several fourth-grade students of the LIS, serving as a purposively selected sample. Thematic analysis was used to analyze the data. The results showed that the program was implemented systematically through various activities, including vocabulary building, daily conversations, public speaking exercises, and activities such as Language for Fun and Morning Tea. The institutional structure involving student leaders supported the program. The habit of using English in daily life can improve vocabulary, fluency in speaking, and self-confidence. It can be concluded that this program is highly effective in improving students' speaking skills and can be applied in other boarding school educational institutions.

Abstract

This study aims to describe students' ability to write explanatory texts before using the inquiry method, describe students' ability to write explanatory texts after using the inquiry method, and test the effect of applying the inquiry method on the ability to write explanatory texts of eleventh-grade students at SMAN 19 Gowa. This research uses a quantitative research method. Data collection techniques were carried out using essay tests, and the data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics (SPSS 29.0.10). The results of this study show an improvement in students' critical and creative thinking skills in writing explanatory texts after using the inquiry-based learning method. The analysis of the pretest and posttest results shows that before the inquiry method was applied, the majority of students were in the fair and very good categories, with some students in the poor and good categories. After implementation, the majority of students moved to the good and very good categories, showing a significant improvement in their abilities. This improvement is evident in the distribution of student scores, where the average score increased from 58.23 in the pretest to 77.30 in the posttest. Statistical tests using the Paired Sample T-Test showed a t-value of 7.018 with a significance level (p-value < 0.001). Since the p-value is less than 0.05, the null hypothesis (H0) is rejected, and the alternative hypothesis (Ha) is accepted. This indicates a significant difference between the pretest and posttest scores, supporting the hypothesis that the inquiry method has a meaningful impact on students' critical and creative thinking abilities. Thus, this research proves that the application of the inquiry method is effective in improving students' abilities in writing explanatory texts, both in terms of quality and variation in critical and creative thinking skills.

Abstract

The use of technology in this era is useful, especially in teaching speaking. This study aims to describe the implementation of the SAVI (Somatic, Auditory, Visual, Intellectual) approach through YouTube videos in teaching speaking. It’s also revealing students' perceptions of the implementation of the SAVI approach in teaching speaking. This study employed a qualitative descriptive method. The data were gathered through classroom observations, questionnaires, and semi-structured interviews with teachers and students. It involved 30 students of the eleventh grade of SMAN 1 Slahung and one teacher. The data were analyzed using the Miles and Huberman model, which involves data reduction, data presentation, and verification. The results showed that the implementation of SAVI through YouTube videos gradually blended movement, hearing, implementation, and reasoning so that learning was more interactive and student-centered and facilitated comprehension before speaking practice. Students rated this approach as helpful and enjoyable. Dealing with the students’ perceptions, they said they are more motivated, actively participating, enriching vocabulary, improving pronunciation, and more confident. The auditory and visual aspects were considered the most helpful, while the somatic supported engagement and intellectually strengthened the analysis. SAVI's approach through YouTube videos helps speaking skills and can be a reference for teachers in designing more interactive and contextual learning.

Abstract

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, schools across South Africa were forced to turn to online education. As with other subjects, Afrikaans First Additional Language (AFAL) teachers had to find ways to continue teaching their learners online under COVID-19 restrictions. For many, this was a daunting task and unfamiliar territory. This research explores how AFAL teachers from two public schools in Gauteng Province experienced online teaching during COVID-19. For this research, seven participants were selected through purposive sampling to participate in either semi-structured individual interviews or a focus group. Additional data was gathered from various documents from the two schools. Analysis of the data demonstrated that online communication created several barriers while teaching. In addition, learners' poor work ethic had a ripple effect, and work provided online had to be retaught once learners returned to school. Although teaching AFAL online is not necessarily the recommended approach, there are certain advantages to incorporating online platforms in a classroom setting. Despite various challenges, teachers continued to provide learners with work while trying to make an abnormal situation as normal as possible.

Abstract

In Indonesia, positive opinions of English are frequently linked with instances of mockery aimed at those thought to have poor English skill. This practice is known as English shaming and has gained importance in the modern era of social media. This study aims to identify English language ideologies in Indonesia through the lens of online English shaming. Using a qualitative research approach based on virtual ethnography, this study draws on the theoretical frameworks of language ideology. Analysis of 621 comments on TikTok is carried out using a three-stage inductive coding process drawn from the Constructivist Grounded Theory methodology. The findings suggest that there are four key English language ideologies in Indonesia: 1) non-standard English is unacceptable; 2) English is an index of educational level; 3) non-standard English is acceptable, and 4) non-standard use of English in international forum is national disgrace. These findings highlight the dominant role of "Standard English" as a social marker in Indonesia, the harmful effects of online English shaming on individuals and national identity, and the need for embracing linguistic diversity. The study also demonstrates the potential for resistance against dominant ideologies and the importance of fostering inclusive language policies, as well as respectful online discourse

Abstract

This research aims to identify various types of language styles and try to find the most dominant use of language styles in the political debates of the 2024 Indonesian presidential candidates using a sociolinguistic approach. This study uses a qualitative method. To obtain data, the author used a note-taking technique, namely taking notes. Because the data was in the form of words, it was analyzed by identifying, analyzing, and categorizing the data and noting the frequency of the most dominant types of language styles. Researchers also used Martin Joos's theory of language style types; five different language styles were studied. Frozen style is one of them, as are formal style, consultation style, casual style, and intimate style. The results of the research show that the types of language styles in political debates have a frozen style of 1 data, a formal style of 3 data, a consultative style of 35 data, then a casual style of 12 data, and finally the intimate style has 0 data. Based on the analysis, the author found that there are four language styles: frozen, formal, consultative, and relaxed. Then, the consultative style is the most widely used style, with 35 data points out of a total of 51 data points.

Abstract

This article’s goals were to 1) look into what students thought about problems with phonetics learning, and 2) determine what elements were driving students' errors with phonetics learning. The samples consisted of 6 undergraduate Islamic education students who were chosen for an interview on purpose. A questionnaire and a semi-interview form were examined as research tools. According to the students' opinions, certain sounds, particularly [θ], [ð], and [ʤ], produced major phonetics learning challenges at the segmental level. It was also noted that linking produced major problems with supra segmental phonetics learning. Furthermore, phonetic ability was identified as the most common reason for difficulties in learning phonetics. It might be argued that the perception of the difference in sound systems between English and Indonesian, as well as various characteristics such as phonetic aptitude, native language, and prior English knowledge, all contribute to this conclusion.
