Exploring the Influence of English Song Viewing on Second Language Acquisition: A Psycholinguistic Study
No full textThe importance of English as a second language (L2) has heightened in the era of globalization, with individuals worldwide striving for proficiency in academic, professional, and social contexts. This study investigates the influence of watching English-language songs on L2 acquisition, with a particular focus on psycholinguistic aspects. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach, the data consists of words, phrases, and sentences extracted from selected songs such as "Happier," "All I Want," "Glimpse of Us," and "Oops!... Did It Again." Through participant observation, researchers evaluate the impact of these songs on comprehension, pronunciation, listening skills, and reading abilities. Interviews further delve into the research objectives, supported by recordings and note-taking. The analysis, utilizing reflective interpretive methods, draws upon the experiences of both researchers and respondents. Oral data undergoes transcription, classification, reduction, and verification, which are then organized into tables for interpretation. The findings indicate that exposure to English songs enhances L2 proficiency, particularly in improving understanding of meaning, vocabulary acquisition, pronunciation accuracy, listening acuity, and reading fluency. These results hold significant implications for language teaching practices and future research on L2 acquisition. Integrating English songs into curricula provides engaging avenues for learners to develop listening, pronunciation, vocabulary, and reading skills. Incorporating diverse, authentic language materials, such as songs, enriches learning environments by reflecting real-life language usage. The study highlights the value of qualitative methodologies, such as participant observation and interviews, in comprehending the psycholinguistic processes involved in L2 acquisition. Future research could explore various song types, genres, and proficiency levels, while also assessing the long-term impacts of music-based language teaching. In conclusion, these findings contribute to evidence-based language teaching practices and advance our understanding of the cognitive mechanisms involved in L2 acquisitio

Types of Flouting Maxim in “No Hard Feelings” Movie
No full textTThis study analyzes the types of flouting maxim conveyed by the characters in the movie No Hard Feelings. No Hard Feelings is a movie about a desperate woman who almost loses her house and decides to date a wealthy couple’s son to solve the problem. Flouting maxim occurs when the participant disobeys Grice’s conversational maxims in a conversation. This study used the theory from Grice (1975) concerning the cooperative principle to discover the types of flouting maxims. The types of flouting maxims were collected by qualitative method through an observation of the utterances done by the characters in the movie. This study also used theory from Halliday (1989) to analyze the context of the situation based on the conversation. The result of this study revealed that there are 4 types of flouting maxim found in 25 data, namely flouting maxim of quantity, flouting maxim of quality, flouting maxim of manner, and flouting maxim of relevance. The highest flouting maxim in the No Hard Feeling movie is the flouting maxim of quantity because most of the characters added more or less unnecessary information to their statement. The main character disregarded most of the maxim of quantity. The main character flouted the maxim by providing excessive detail to stress the audience hence the character wanted to control the conversation to achieve her goal as a main character. This study focuses on demonstrating the dialogues that were considered flouts in the movie and correlates the flouts with linguistic theory
Integrating Reduplication Patterns in The Western Flores Languages
No full textThis study aims to look at the reduplication patterns in the Western Languages of Flores, i.e., MRK Language Subgroup (Manggarai, Rembong, and Komodo). These three languages are grouped according to the results of the calculation of the percentage of similar languages made by Fernandez (1996). Data was collected through secondary data collection from pre-existing datasets, including field notes and dictionaries. Direct interviews with native speakers representing each language strengthen secondary data with more in-depth information. The analysis revealed that there are similar patterns found in full reduplication accompanied by changes in vowel phonemes as in laki-lako 'going everywhere' in Manggarai, zupak-zapaq 'hassle' in Rembong, and cuki-cake 'naughty' in Komodo. Partial reduplication, on the other hand, generally takes the form of adding or removing final phonemes in repeated words, for example, bingi-bangas 'dull-witted' in the Manggarai Language, daki-dekang 'helping each other' in the Rembong Language, and hipi-hapek 'going here and there' in Komodo Language. The Rembong Language has a distinctive partial reduplication, the presence of rhyme sounds at the beginning as in ghali-ghewe 'miserable life' and at the end of words as in kameq-mok 'sucks'. Partial reduplication in Komodo Language only involves the repetition of the initial syllable as in kekaro (karo-karo) 'walkings'. It is hoped that this research can be a reference for further research to explore more deeply reduplication in the MRK Language, either refuting the results in this research or supporting it by providing more dat

No full textRecent decades have witnessed substantial transformations in education, particularly with the advent of information and communication technology. Among the notable innovations is blended learning (BL), increasingly adopted as a mainstream approach for foreign language education in higher institutions, particularly for Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) classes catering to working students. This paper addresses the growing prominence of blended learning in nursing programs, combining traditional face-to-face instruction with online components.
