Abstract

This study aims to determine the role of YouTube in improving expository writing skills: the perspective of Indonesian language teachers at SMA Negeri 1 Doloksanggul. The background of this study is that Indonesian language learning in the classroom often poses a challenge for teachers at school. This is because students' interest in learning Indonesian varies. Therefore, teachers utilize YouTube to improve students' skills in writing expository texts. This study employs a descriptive qualitative research method. Data is collected through written tests, observations, and interviews. The research subjects are Indonesian language teachers. Data validation is conducted using reference materials and member checks. The results indicate that the use of YouTube videos is viewed as a strategic approach that should be implemented in education for language skill development. Writing expository texts is quite difficult for students to do in learning. The use of YouTube is considered to attract students' attention because it can improve their argumentation skills, vocabulary, and understanding of expository text structure. The use of this media is also used as motivation for teachers and students at the high school level.

Abstract

The use of videos based on local wisdom in literature learning is an innovative approach that can enrich the interpretation of poetry and improve students' essay writing skills. The purpose of this study is to describe the use of local wisdom videos to enrich the interpretation of poetry in the form of essays by 10th grade students at SMK Negeri 1 Simpang Kiri Kota Subulussalam. This study employs a qualitative approach using a descriptive method. Informants were selected purposively according to research needs. Data collection was conducted through in-depth interviews, observations, and document analysis. Data analysis followed the qualitative analysis stages outlined by Miles and Huberman, including data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results of the study indicate that the use of local wisdom videos, such as the Peusijuk tradition, kenduri, and gotong royong, can shape more contextual, connotative, and symbolic interpretations of poetry. Students demonstrated improved abstract and reflective thinking skills and greater confidence in writing essays. Student responses were very positive because the visual media presented were relevant to their lives, making learning more active, personal, and meaningful. However, there were some challenges, such as technical limitations, differing cultural backgrounds, and low literary literacy. Despite this, teacher support, a flexible curriculum, and the integration of local values were key factors contributing to the success of this strategy. This approach strengthens understanding of poetry and fosters a deeper appreciation of literature through authentic learning experiences.
