Abstract

The objective of this study is to investigate whether the motivational dialogue from the movie "Barbie" is successful in terms of experiential function using a discourse analysis approach. The experiential function focuses on Process, Participant, and Circumstance. The movie ‘Barbie’ is chosen because its dialogue motivates and conveys moral lessons to the viewers. This study employs a qualitative research design. Data were collected through observation and documentation. The data were analyzed by employing several steps: separating the dialogue into clauses, analyzing the clauses in terms of experiential function, classifying the elements of experiential function, deriving patterns of experience, and evaluating the success of the dialogue. The analysis revealed there were 32 Processes, with the Verbal Process being the most dominant (40.62%), 37 Participants were identified, with Sayer being the most frequent at (37,14%), and 23 Circumstances, with Extent Circumstance being the most prevalent at (43.47%). Thus, the dialogue effectively motivates and creates an emotional bond with the viewers, fulfilling its intended experiential function. Through detailed analysis, it was revealed that the dialogue's use of Verbal Processes, Participant roles, and Circumstances contributes significantly to its motivational impact and emotional connection with the viewers.

Abstract

Bahasa Inggris sudah diajarkan sejak usia dini sejak tingkat sekolah dasar. Hal ini dilakukan untuk mengikuti perkembangan zaman yang semakin global serta untuk memperkenalkan bahasa Inggris sebagai bahasa internasional. Namun, pada kenyataannya, hingga saat ini banyak siswa/i masih beranggapan bahwa bahasa Inggris adalah mata pelajaran yang sulit, serius, menakutkan, bahkan menjemukan. Fenomena ini juga terjadi pada anak-anak terdampak erupsi Gunung Sinabung di Kawasan Relokasi Siosar, Desa Simacem, Kabupaten Karo. Mereka kurang menguasai bahasa Inggris dasar, lebih dominan berbicara bahasa lokal, serta rendahnya rasa percaya diri mereka untuk berbicara bahasa Inggris akibat metode pengajaran bahasa Inggris yang kurang menarik yang diperoleh di sekolah serta trauma akibat menjadi korban erupsi Gunung Sinabung yang menyebabkan mereka harus direlokasi ke daerah pengungsian. Untuk itu, tim pengabdian terdorong untuk melakukan kegiatan pemulihan trauma berupa pelatihan bahasa Inggris bagi anak-anak terdampak erupsi Gunung Sinabung dengan metode pembelajaran Fun Communicative Learning through games and nursery rhymes. Kegiatan ini bertujuan untuk membantu masyarakat khususnya anak-anak usia sekolah dasar agar kejadian atau bencana yang terjadi selama ini tidak berdampak buruk dan berlanjut pada stabilitas mental dan emosional ke depan. Dengan kegiatan ini diharapkan rasa percaya diri anak-anak akan terbangun kembali karena adanya bentuk perhatian lain berupa Trauma Healing.
