To answer the research objectives, the author reviewed articles about emojis and emoticons published from 2012-2021. The data are collected by using an application called Publish and Perish, as well as free social networking sites ResearchGate and Academia. The findings of the previous research are then synthesized. The research results show that the differences and similarities of emojis and emoticons, as well as which of them is used more often and why one of them is preferred have been investigated. Both emojis and emoticons are used to express emotion, clarify meaning, substitute texts and punctuations. Then, the use of emojis and emoticons is influenced by social relationships, level of formality and gender, emotional relationships, social media platforms, and linguistic patterns. Despite that, emojis and emoticons are not used correctly in terms of the meaning contained in them and have not been much studied by using linguistic theories. It implies that more research on emojis and emoticons which is paired with linguistic theories is needed. For that reasons we propose that the myth which emerges as the folded hand emoji is used and why the myth emerges are studied in the future research.

The data was collected through research articles on visual language published from 1997 to 2022. The results showed that visual language has been studied in media such as, images, comics, books & magazines, videos & animations, posters & info graphics, motifs, logos & brands, packaging designs, and writing. Studies that have been carried out have not revealed how visual language is used in video thumbnails on YouTube. In addition, most previously conducted studies on visual language discuss the language using only one scientific approach so as to potentially inhibit the possibility of new findings that can bring benefits globally. Therefore, the researchers suggested to subsequent researchers to uncover how visual language is used in YouTube video thumbnails and examine the signifier and signified contained in them so as to integrate the disciplinary approaches of Visual Communication Design and Linguistics, especially Semiotics.

It needs more effort and time for mastery. Some challenges in writing can make students confused. This condition has inspired the researchers to conduct the study. The study aims to identify the common errors in firstyear students' essay writing and provide suggestive solutions for the problems encountered by the students. This study was implemented using quantitative and qualitative approaches (mixed method). The researchers analyzed 205 students' essays to identify the writing errors. After that, they randomly interviewed selected students to find the specific problems and suggestions. The data gathered were then classified and analyzed thematically. Based on the analyzed data, the most frequent error was faulty sentences which was 60.41%, grammar as the second error was 16.88%, the third error was mechanics with 13.1%, and vocabulary and other errors were 5.38% and 4.22%. The result shows that most students got difficulty writing sentences correctly. Therefore, providing appropriate learning materials for students and giving feedback on their writing are suggested.

The media included printed, electronic, and online news which gave information, editorial, advertisement, and other forms related to the presidential election. These various contents about the presidential election were interesting to be explored through research because they could uncover realities which were represented differently, for different purposes, and with distinctive ideology in each mass medium. These phenomena could be found not only in national online mass media, but also in online mass media in Lampung. Observing how the prospective president and vice president were represented in local online mass media was an interesting thing. That was because by using data from local online mass media, we could identify how constellation movement and political dynamics in national level were represented in local level with u...

To collect the data, the researcher came to the school and made some recordings. The recordings were then transcribed and analyzed based on speech act classification by Yule (2002). The finding of this research showed that both face saving acts and face threatening acts occurred in the classroom interaction. This finding implied that face saving acts and face threatening acts could occur in social interaction between people who were socially distant. Furthermore, the finding of this research also showed that face saving acts outnumbered face threatening acts in the classroom interaction. This finding implies that teachers try to reduce the possibility of making their students feel embarrassed or down when the students make errors or mistakes. In this research, it was also found that the English teacher used some techniques in performing face saving acts. The techniques were giving the right answer, suggesting that the students asked for help, and encouraging that the students struggled harder.

It is intended to find out common errors made by students when using correlative conjunction in their writing. Correlative Conjunction is one of conjunctions in English. Analyzing students' errors in using the conjunction becomes important because communication in English involves and cannot be separated from the use of its. Since correlative conjunction is taught at junior high schools, the subjects of this research were junior high school students at the second year. The research was conducted at SMP Karya Bakti Gadingrejo and the population of the subject was 30 persons. The data of the research were collected by giving the students a question sheet which consisted of 20 items requiring them to join two sentences into one through correlative conjunction. The students' errors in joining the sentences were analyzed based on Surface Strategy and Communicative Effect Taxonomy by Dulay, Burt, and Krashen (1982: 151). The result of the research shows that Omission errors place the first position with 42.83% of overall errors made by the students. The second position is placed by Misordering errors with 22.33%. Addition errors place the third position with 6.33% and Misformation errors place the last position with 2.16%. Based on Communicative Effect Taxonomy, Global Error is 17.50% and Local Error is 26.33%. The percentage of overall errors is 73.66% and the percentage of correct answers is 16.33%. The result implies that the students have problems in using correlative conjunctions mostly in pairing the conjunction.

This research was conducted at University of Teknokrat Indonesia. The population of this research was the first semester students. There were 30 university students who were chosen as the samples. They were all S1 English Literature students. The data of this research were collected through a written task. The task was designed to measure the students' ability in using irregular verbs in sentences telling about past events. There were 140 irregular verbs tested to the students. The result of the research showed that the undergraduates' awareness of English irregular verbs is low; 22 (73.3%) out 30 students made errors in using English irregular verbs. The errors varied into three types; using the rule of regular verbs for irregular verbs, using simple form verbs for past events, and creating new words which did not exist in English vocabulary. The highest number of error was placed by applying the rule of regular verbs for irregular verbs with 14 incorrect verbs (53.8%), the second position was placed by using simple form verbs for past events with 9 incorrect verbs (34.6%), and the third position was placed by creating new words which did not exist in English vocabulary with 3 incorrect verbs (11.5%). The results of this study indicate that students in which English is a foreign language might still have insufficient English vocabulary when they come to higher schools.

This research was conducted at some higher schools in Lampung. The higher schools involved both public and private institutions. The samples were chosen purposefully; students who were taught by the researcher. In overall there were 40 samples involved in this research. At the beginning of the class, before the students were taught by the researcher, they were given a multiple-choice test that measured the students' knowledge of English grammar. The result showed the mean score that the students got was 47.5, which meant very low English proficiency. It indicates that a long-duration learning of English does not guarantee that students will be proficient in that language.
