Abstract

This study aims to identify and describe the cultural values contained in the Kon Anin legend and to explain the role of these values in the social life of the Tuapakas community, Kualin Sub-District, South Central Timor Regency. The Kon Anin legend is an oral tradition that is still preserved and is believed to contain cultural teachings and local wisdom that influence the community's social life. This research uses a descriptive qualitative method. Data were obtained through in-depth interviews with traditional elders and community leaders, participant observation, and documentation. The results show that the Kon Anin legend contains four important cultural values: (1) belief in ancestral traditions, (2) togetherness, (3) respect for traditional leaders, and (4) local wisdom. These values are practiced in the Kon Anin ritual as a response to strong wind disturbances believed to be an imbalance of nature. This ritual functions as a medium for cultural preservation, identity reinforcement, education for the younger generation, and maintaining the balance of human-nature relationships.

Abstract

Listening comprehension, particularly in grasping the main idea of dialogues, is a crucial competency in English language learning for communication. However, most previous research has focused on main idea identification in written texts or general listening problems, leaving a gap in specifically examining the ability of vocational high school (SMK) students in the context of spoken dialogue. This study aims to (1) describe the ability level of SMK Noebaun students in identifying the main idea in English dialogues, and (2) analyze the difficulties they encounter. This research employs a quantitative descriptive method. The population was all 11th-grade students (100 students), with a random sample of 25 students. The instrument was a 25-item multiple-choice test adapted from authentic dialogues. Results show that overall student ability was in the Fair category (68% of students). Item analysis identified 8 difficult items (>47% error rate), with the main difficulties lying in understanding implicit meaning (61.90%) and vocabulary limitations. Although students’ average ability is adequate, significant challenges exist in understanding implied meaning and mastering contextual vocabulary in dialogues. The pedagogical implication is the need for teaching strategies that emphasize pragmatic inference and enrichment of context-specific conversational vocabulary.
