Abstract

It is often heard that English-language songs and films can improve students' English language skills. Many people suspect that when they see people who have good English skills, that person must have a hobby of listening to songs and watching films in English. This assumption is not entirely true, because someone who has good English skills might have other factors why he could speak English well. On the other hand, the statement is also not entirely wrong, many people who can speak English well claim to often hear songs and watch movies in English. But more than that, regardless of how or how to obtain English, the most important factor is the motivation and passion of everyone who wants to acquire English.

Abstract

It is often assumed that intellect is the most important element in determining whether or not a person would be successful in learning a second language. When compared to someone with a moderate IQ, someone with a high IQ learns a second language faster. However, this is not always the case. In my perspective, not every person with a high IQ finds it difficult to learn a second language. Other research discovered other factors that influence someone's performance in learning a second language. This demonstrates how various things impact someone's decision to learn a second language. The most significant variables in learning a second language are social variables. As a result, if they have medium intellect, learning a second language is not an issue. If they acquire a second language in a supportive atmosphere, they will be able to master the second language. As a result, selecting a decent social context in which to learn a second language is the most efficient approach to master it.

Abstract

The movie 7 Hati 7 Cinta 7 Wanita directed by Robby Ertanto that presents a representation of seven women in the Indonesian context through certain signs, concepts, thoughts, and language. This representation can be in the form of a depiction of physical or psychological violence, subordination, workload, power, or women's reproductive rights. The research method used Roland Barthes' semiotic analysis model and constructivist paradigm approach. Barthes' theory represents two ideological signs that he put forward, namely the denotative sign system or the connotative sign system: A denotative sign, which is a more rigorous descriptive system than the connotative sign it has described, is the result of the existing signifier image and the signified concept. for example vegetables and milk are markers and healthy and strong are markers. Whereas A connotative sign is a sign that experiences a shift in its historical meaning due to a change in meaning. It can be influenced by a change in culture or terminology, an event that occurs in a situation, or even just an evolution.The results of this study indicate that in the movie7 Hati 7 Cinta 7 Wanita contains at least three points of findings: (1) aspects of female domestication and gender politics, which encourage women to be placed in traditional positions as housewives, (2) aspects of segregation, namely placing women in a weak position in relation to men, (3) many women experience the reality that places them in subordinate positions.
