The researcher applies the theory and method of Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) from Fairclough. This research aims to find a message the memes convey about online learning based on a student's perspective during the pandemic. CDA concepts, such as transitivity analysis and semiotic analysis are used to assist in this research to analyze the text and the visual picture in the memes. This study analyzes the visual and textual elements of a sample of online learning memes. This paper argues that the text and images featured in memes ideologically highlight problems within online learning. The study results find that in the transitivity analysis, the material process is a process that mostly appears in memes. The second process that appears is the existential process. The transitivity analysis results show that the memes collected are more descriptive of the process of performing or physical actions experienced by students in online learning than processes that have to do with cognition or perception in the learning process. This study reveals that the memes depict network availability, lack of motivation, the amount of knowledge obtained, students' condition when joining online learning, online learning situation, and the characteristics of students in online learning. |
