In this study, the sample size was 48 students, including 24 students in the experimental class (XI IPS 2) and 24 students in the control class (XI IPS 1) at SMAN 8 South Bengkulu taken by purposive sampling. The experimental class has given the treatment using the Auditory, Intellectually, And Repetition AIR Model, while the control class did not use the AIR Model. The researchers collect data by administering tests twice, namely a pretest and a post-test. Prior to administering the post-test, the researcher administered four treatments in the experimental and control classrooms using different teaching models. The instrument employed in this study was a set of 20 valid multiple-choice questions. The data from the pre-test and post-test were examined using the t-test. The learning outcomes were as follows: First, the experimental class's mean score was 37,29, whereas the control class was 40,83. And for the post-test findings reveal that the experimental class has an average value of 81.25 while the control class has an average value of 70.42. Second, the sample score of the independent T-test shows the significant value (2 tailed) is 0,000 <0.05. In other words, Ho was rejected and Ha was accepted.

Researchers chose coffee and tea advertisement in mass media as the object of research. The method in this research was descriptive qualitative. The data collection technique was observation and notetaking. The data collected were categorized according to the type of advertisement and then analyzed one by one using language style theory and semantic theory. The results of this research found 27 data on coffee and tea advertisement containing language styles, consisting of 3 rhetorical language styles (consisting of 1 alliteration, 7 assonances, and 11 hyperboles), then 3 figurative language styles (consisting of 1 personification, 1 simile, and 2 synecdoches), and 4 denotative meaning (does not contain language style), as well as the semantic meaning contained in it. The repetition of consonant sounds always occurs in an alliteration language style. While in assonance, the style of language was in the form of repetition of the same vowel sound to achieve the goal of obtaining a beautiful effect in a sentence. Meanwhile, hyperbola was a style of language that tends to exaggerate the actual reality. In the figurative style, personification was a style of language that describes inanimate objects as if they saw a living creature. In contrast to simile, this style was comparing the similarities of something, and synecdoche was a style of language used to express a whole or a part. While denotative meaning was a language or word that was used to express something that was without any deviation from the word. Hyperbole was the most common language style found in this research. This was because the advertisement writer wants to highlight the specialty of the coffee and tea products offered by using excessive elements in the advertising language and wants to define a product in an interesting sentence through a short direct comparison. The element of exaggeration in his words was evident in the style of hyperbole.","PeriodicalId":33323,"journal":{"name":"English Franca Academic Journal of English Language and Education","volume":"69 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88209191","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
