Abstract

Reading and writing are basic skills that students must master. This study aims to describe the needs for literacy media, develop digital literacy media containing local folktales, and test its effectiveness in improving students' reading and writing skills. This study uses the Research and Development method with the ADDIE model (analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation). Data were collected through observation, interviews, questionnaires, and tests. The analysis indicates the need for media that is engaging and aligned with students' characteristics. The developed media was deemed valid by content experts, feasible by media experts, and received very positive responses from teachers and students. The effectiveness test showed a significant difference between the experimental and control groups. The experimental group's average score was higher than the control group's. These findings indicate that digital media containing local folklore are effective in improving students' reading and writing skills and contribute to learning grounded in local wisdom.

Abstract

This study examines women’s language features and micro-narcissistic self-presentation in digitally mediated religious discourse, focusing on question-and-answer (Q&A) interactions in the online “Pengajian Sabilu Taubah” led by Gus Iqdam. Adopting a qualitative descriptive design with a sociopragmatic orientation, the study aims to explore how female participants use language to negotiate emotion, politeness, authority, and self-visibility in a publicly streamed religious forum. The data were drawn from five publicly accessible livestream recordings and were selected through purposive sampling based on the presence of direct interaction with female participants, extended utterances, and adequate audio-visual quality. Three women participants were analyzed as primary data sources, while two additional participants were used for confirmatory analysis. The primary research instrument was detailed discourse transcription, including lexical, prosodic, and paralinguistic features. Data analysis followed a theory-driven qualitative content analysis guided by Lakoff’s framework of women’s language and Pearson’s functional classification, with data validation ensured through triangulation and confirmatory analysis. The findings show that women’s language in the Q&A sessions is characterized by expressive-affective features, mitigation strategies, and response-oriented utterances that function to elicit recognition and maintain politeness toward religious authority. Furthermore, micro-narcissistic self-presentation is realized through subtle and socially acceptable linguistic practices, such as admiration-seeking expressions and self-referential narratives, rather than overt self-promotion. This study contributes to sociopragmatic and gender-based discourse research by highlighting women’s linguistic agency in digital religious interaction and by conceptualizing micro-narcissism as an interactional phenomenon shaped by religious norms and public visibility.
