Abstract

This study examined the impact of the mind-mapping technique on improving students' descriptive writing skills. A pre-test and post-test were administered to 20 students to evaluate their writing performance before and after using mind mapping. The findings demonstrated a notable improvement, with the average pre-test score of 60.3 rising to 78.5 in the post-test. Statistical analysis using a paired-sample t-test confirmed that this increase was significant (t(19) = 5.62, p < 0.001). The results indicate that mind mapping enhances students’ ability to structure and expand their ideas effectively, leading to greater writing fluency. These findings are consistent with prior studies that highlight the benefits of visual learning strategies in academic writing. Given its positive impact, incorporating mind mapping into writing instruction is recommended to support students' learning. Future research could explore its use in various writing genres and digital learning environments to further assess its adaptability and effectiveness.

Abstract

Language and culture are interrelated and form a unity that reflects the values of a society. In the context of the Saur Matua traditional ceremony of the Batak Toba tribe, the use of figurative language is an important element that conveys cultural values such as kinship, religiosity, descent, wealth, and honor. This study aims to analyze the forms and meanings of figurative language (umpasa) used by Hula-hula, Dongan Tubu, and Parboru in the Saur Matua ceremony. Using a descriptive qualitative method, data were collected through direct observation, audio-video documentation, and informal interviews with 12 key informants consisting of community leaders, traditional elders, and participants of the ceremony. The data were analyzed through transcription, classification of types of figurative language, and interpretation of cultural meanings based on literary linguistic theory. The results reveal that umpasa is predominantly used to deliver prayers and hopes, moral advice, and motivation to the bereaved family. Similes and symbols are the most frequently used figures of speech. The use of figurative language in this ceremony not only enhances the aesthetic aspect of communication but also plays a vital role in preserving the noble values of Batak Toba culture. Academically, this study contributes to the enrichment of cultural linguistic research and supports the preservation and documentation of Indonesian oral literature, particularly among indigenous communities.

Abstract

Language plays a crucial role in academic and professional communication, particularly due to the diverse terminology used across different disciplines. Variations in the meaning of vocabulary in fields such as law, science, economics, and maritime studies often create ambiguity, especially for learners of academic English. This study aims to analyze how the meaning of English vocabulary shifts based on disciplinary context. Employing a qualitative descriptive method, data were collected through literature review and document analysis. The findings reveal that a single English word can hold different meanings depending on the field in which it is used—for instance, the word “sentence” generally refers to a linguistic unit, whereas in legal discourse, it denotes a judicial punishment. These results underscore the significant influence of disciplinary context on vocabulary interpretation and usage. The study highlights the importance of contextual language understanding to improve academic literacy and English proficiency among interdisciplinary students and professionals. Furthermore, the findings contribute to the development of discipline-specific academic English curricula and offer practical guidance for more effective English language teaching and learning.
