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

The Lauje language, spoken by communities in Parigi Moutong Regency, Central Sulawesi, reflects a rich cultural and social identity, yet faces the threat of extinction due to the dominance of Indonesian and the impact of globalization. This study aims to explore the forms, functions, and strategies of directive speech acts in the Lauje language, which remain largely undocumented in linguistic research. A qualitative descriptive approach was employed to achieve this goal. Data was collected through field observation, audio recording of natural conversations, and interviews with native speakers in Moubang Village, a culturally representative Lauje-speaking area. Data collection techniques included eavesdropping, recording, and note-taking, while the analysis involved data reduction, categorization, interpretation, and validation using source and theoretical triangulation. The findings reveal six distinct forms of directive speech acts —commanding, ordering, requesting, asking, suggesting, and advising —each with specific social functions and realized through both direct and indirect strategies. These patterns reflect the speaker's sensitivity to social context, hierarchy, and politeness norms. The study concludes that directive speech acts in Lauje serve not only communicative purposes but also preserve the community's cultural values and relational dynamics. The research contributes to pragmatic studies of regional languages and supports efforts to document and revitalize endangered linguistic heritage in Indonesia.
