Ajisaka dance is a traditional Balinese dance that has lexicons and their cultural meaning. The ones who practice and perform the dance do not know about the lexicons of the dance. It can cause language death because the native speaker does not maintain their language. This study aimed to find out the lexicons and their cultural meaning related to Ajisaka dance movements. The setting of this study was conducted in Buleleng regency. It was designed in the form of a qualitative method using an ecolinguistic approach. The data were obtained through observation and interview techniques. The results of the study show that the lexicons are classified into eye movements (two lexicons), neck movements (two lexicons), body movements (four lexicons), hand movements (eight lexicons), finger movements (four lexicons), and leg movements (eight lexicons) and the cultural meaning of the lexicons of movements refers to the firmness, obedience to responsibility, authority, majesty, intelligence and agility, the subtlety of mind and soul, and the strong principles of the king and his soldiers. The results of this study can be used as teaching material for the dance teacher to teach lexicons and their cultural meaning to their students and introduce it to foreigners who want to learn this dance. Specifically, this study can help maintain a local language and lead to avoiding language death. Keywords: ecolinguistic; lexicons; cultural meaning; Balinese dance; Ajisaka dance

This study aimed to determine the perceptions and motivations of EFL students at SMP St. Ignatius Medan who apply blended learning in English subjects. The collected data were analyzed descriptively and qualitatively. The research findings show that EFL students have a positive perception of the use of blended learning in learning English and an increase in their learning motivation after using this method. This is because 72.9% of students are more comfortable using technology in the classroom, and 53.1% of students have a more interactive and interesting learning experience, even though student feedback is considered to be of lower quality; namely, from the data obtained, only 24% of students easily get feedback from teachers. The main problem for students is that 57.3% of them feel there is a lack of social interaction with classmates and teachers, and 71.9% have problems with poor internet connectivity, which causes them to not fully understand learning material. Student motivation in blended learning is influenced by two factors: the first is the intrinsic factor, where it was found that 57.3% of students felt learning English with blended learning was more interesting and fun. Student motivation related to the extrinsic factor; researchers found that 67.7% of students felt motivated to learn English with blended learning because they could access learning materials more flexibly. From these data, it was found that the impact of learning English using blended learning was due to the intrinsic factor: 94.8% of students felt that English was important for their future, and 84.4% of students felt that learning English was a necessity. from the extrinsic impact factor of blended learning with students' motivation to learn English, 86.4% of students feel that they will get a better job in the future. The research findings show that the use of blended learning can be applied more broadly and effectively in increasing the learning motivation and English skills of EFL students.

Some experts believe that audio-visual media is beneficial in learning a second language, including English. It can increase not only students’ motivation to learn, but also their focus on the learned material. In reading, audio-visual media is considered effective in enhancing students’ comprehension. Most of the studies focus on the positive impact of using audio-visual media, but they have not yet investigated the obstacle that might be experienced by the students on its usage. Therefore, this study intends to examine the students’ obstacles of using audio-visual media in reading as well as their responses to its implementation. The qualitative method was applied. The data were gained through questionnaires and observation. The respondents were 37 ninth-grade students. The findings revealed that although the students responded positively to the use of audio-visual media in reading, they had issues with its implementation. The issues dealt with language and comprehension. In the term of language, the students found it hard to understand the meaning of some words. As a result, it impacted their comprehension. Thus, it is suggested for the teachers to first consider the students’ vocabulary mastery before using audio-visual media in teaching reading. If the students have a limited vocabulary, they can use a video that has familiar words known by the students.

The article aims to examine meanings of the figurative language, namely metaphors and similes in the Book of Revelation in the Bible. The figurative language found in the Book of Revelation is used to emphasize to the reader terms, parables, or visions about what John saw. The research used qualitative content analysis and document analysis as the method to analyze the data found. The findings showed 34 figurative languages of metaphor and simile in the revelation which are in 26 verses. The metaphor only has 4 verses, while the simile has 30 verses. Metaphors are few compared to similes because in the Book of Revelation, there are not many words of God but parables about what will happen in the future according to John's vision. The analysis of simile uses the comparison to compare animals and objects, comparing the characteristics of the human body and objects, comparing the condition or situation of humans and objects, and comparing objects, both concrete and abstract. The findings of the research would be an alternative way to learn and understand the figurative language in the Bible: Book of Revelation.

Meanwhile, the pretest was completed by the intensive class, and the mean result was 66.00, and upon completion of the post-test, these mean scores were 82.80. The writers used the t- test to obtain the findings of this study. We might therefore say that the value was 5.64. After analyzing this data, the t-table was smaller than the t-t-test (1.67 > 5.64). That author displays a p-value of 0.05. The DF was 47. By seeing the data, the writers could conclude that the paragraph hamburger strategy could have a significant effect on the students’ report text in SMK Immanuel Medan.
