This research examines the pragmatic aspects of deixis and reference in song lyrics. Pragmatics is concerned with how speakers or writers convey meaning, and how listeners or readers interpret it. Deixis refers to linguistic elements that directly refer to the personal, temporal, or locational characteristics of the situation in which an utterance occurs. The study explores the different types of deixis, including person deixis, spatial deixis, temporal deixis, discourse deixis, and social deixis, and their role in establishing meaning and creating a connection between the songwriter and the audience. Reference, on the other hand, focuses on the identification of things in the world, with deixis serving as the mechanism for achieving reference. The analysis highlights the importance of context in determining the referents of deictic expressions and the impact of deixis and reference in conveying the songwriter's intended message. By understanding the pragmatic use of deixis and reference in song lyrics, researchers and readers can gain insights into the communicative strategies employed by songwriters and the ways in which meaning is constructed within the lyrics.

and their solutions in speaking English. The research design of this study was a mixed method with an explanatory sequential design approach. The population of this study was second-grade students, and its sample was two classes consisting of 60 students and 3 English teachers who taught them. The instruments used in this study were questionnaires and interviews. The quantitative data were analyzed using the formula from Sugiyono (2005) f/n x 100%, while the qualitative data was analyzed using the technique by Miles and Huberman (1992:16) data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing/verifying.
The results of this study indicate that students still have problems speaking English, especially psychological problems such as fear of making mistakes, lack of self-confidence, lack of motivation, and anxiety. Therefore, based on the problems above, there are several solutions provided by teachers and students to overcome these problems.

This paper explores using the word splash strategy to enhance vocabulary at the Junior High School Level. Some researchers have applied the word splash strategy to help students learn vocabulary. The research showed that by using the word splash strategy, students could effectively motivate learning vocabulary. Students showed evidence of learning by using the word splash strategy. Word Splash is a learning strategy that stimulates thinking around a topic. The Word Splash Strategy allows students to learn new words and ideas before they start reading and helps them figure out how the word might relate. This strategy can help students improve their vocabulary by allowing them to predict words before they read the passage and connect new words or ideas to the passage's main idea.
