“…Because of that, there is a possibility that not some learners are not very interested in the lesson, thus it can pose challenges for teachers to engage them in the learning process. Second, studies investigating rewards from learners' viewpoints in the Indonesian L2 context were mostly conducted in elementary schools (Cahya et al, 2018;Saraswati et al, 2020) and junior high schools (Damayanti et al, 2021;Kasyulita & Armelida, 2019;Lubis, 2018;Maulana & Budianto, 2022). Such studies conducted in a senior high school are, to the best of our knowledge, very rare, and thus worth to be conducted.…”

“…Hence, Indonesian high school English teachers need to find ways for making learners engaged in learning. Besides, studies about rewards in Indonesia were mostly conducted involving young learners at the elementary school level (Cahya et al, 2018;Saraswati et al, 2020) and junior high school level (Damayanti et al, 2021;Kasyulita & Armelida, 2019;Lubis, 2018;Maulana & Budianto, 2022). For this reason, conducting a study involving Indonesian high school learners may provide merits pedagogically and theoretically.…”

<p>The present study intends to investigate the types of rewards given to learners in English as a second/foreign language (L2) classes and L2 learners' views on the possible effects of rewards on their engagement. The study employed a case study design with class observations and semi-structured interviews as the methods of data collection. Indonesian high school learners at a private university participated in this study. Through the observations, it was found that learners received three types of rewards: verbal praise, non-verbal praise, and social reward. From the interviews, it was found that rewards could make the learning atmosphere more fun and competitive as well as increase learners’ attentiveness. Nonetheless, rewards alone were not sufficient to engage learners in independent learning requiring them to exert more effort in their L2 learning process. Overall this study contributes to the understanding of rewards in the Indonesian high school L2 context which is thus far fairly under-researched. Among others, this study concludes that teachers should know what kinds of rewards, when and how they are delivered to best achieve the intended effects. Suggested directions for relevant studies in the field are also stated alongside the possible limitations of this study.</p>

The societal phenomenon of taboo terms is commonly expressed in song lyrics. This research focuses on the function of taboo expressions in the song lyrics of Nicki Minaj, a singer who is known to use such expressions. The first objective of this analysis is to determine the types of taboo expressions found in Minaj’s songs. Secondly, the researchers examine the function of these expressions in the song lyrics. Four of Minaj's songs are presented in the data: "Superbass," "Megatron," "Barbie Tingz," and "Anaconda." This research employs descriptive and qualitative analysis, as well as the theoretical frameworks provided by Battistella (2005) and Wardhaugh (2021). The findings demonstrate that vulgarity is the most frequent form of taboo expression in Minaj's song lyrics, while the main function of these phrases is to attract attention. These songs indicate more than simply linguistic qualities; they also offer a thorough understanding of the social setting. This study fills a gap in the literature on taboo expressions in song lyrics by revealing the function and types of taboo expressions employed by a well-known singer. This research has the capacity to enlighten future research on the usage of taboo expressions in music, and the broader cultural consequences of such language implication.
