Abstract

This paper explores the role of summarizing and paraphrasing in enhancing students' reading skills, particularly through the lens of critical reading. Summarizing involves condensing a text into its main points, while paraphrasing entails restating information in different words without changing the meaning. Both activities require active engagement with texts, encouraging comprehension and analytical thinking. Through a qualitative literature review, this study synthesizes existing research to examine how these activities support reading development. Findings suggest that summarizing and paraphrasing enhance metacognitive awareness, allowing learners to monitor their understanding and improve language proficiency. Additionally, they contribute to better vocabulary use, sentence structure, and information retention. The paper also highlights the strong connection between critical reading and these activities. Summarizing and paraphrasing foster critical thinking skills such as evaluation and synthesis, enabling readers to interpret meaning, assess arguments, and draw conclusions. As a result, students become more reflective and independent readers. The study concludes that incorporating these strategies into reading instruction is essential for promoting comprehension and critical engagement. Educators are encouraged to integrate them into their teaching practices to improve students' academic performance.

Abstract

The Tektekan Okokan tradition of Kediri, Tabanan, is a surviving Balinese ritual using sonic instruments—Okokan, Kulkul, and Tengteng—to repel disease outbreaks (grubug) and neutralize negative forces in the village. Historically performed for days or even months following spiritual messages (pawisik) and signs of occult disturbance, today it is mainly held on Pengerupukan, the eve of Nyepi, as a replacement for ogoh-ogoh processions while circling the village. This practice inspires the creation of a contemporary fashion collection. Data on the tradition were obtained through literature study, observation, and documentation. The design process follows the eight‑stage Frangipani method (design brief; research and sourcing; design development; final collection; prototype, sampling, and construction; promotion, branding, and sales; production; and business). The resulting works comprise three categories—ready to wear, ready to wear deluxe, and haute couture—visualizing Tektekan Okokan through selected keywords and plague‑like, enveloping motif details that symbolically depict the village under attack and ritually protected.
