Abstract

Reading is the cornerstone of effective learning, forming the foundation for academic success in the classroom. However, achieving meaningful learning outcomes depends heavily on the communicative strategies employed by teachers during reading instruction. This study explored the communicative strategies utilized by teachers in English reading comprehension lessons across selected primary schools in Mubi North Local Government Area, Adamawa State. Through a convenient sampling method, the study engaged seven head teachers and twenty-one teachers, employing two research instruments: a twenty-item, four-point Likert scale questionnaire and a four-item open-ended questionnaire. The findings revealed that teachers predominantly employed constructive communicative strategies to enhance reading comprehension. However, challenges such as overcrowded classrooms and external disruptions hinder optimal teaching and learning processes. The study emphasizes the need for targeted interventions to mitigate these barriers, ensuring a more conducive environment for effective reading instruction.

Abstract

This study examines how language constructs power and identity in the representation of women in dangdut music, focusing on song lyrics and stage performances. Using Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA), particularly Fairclough’s three-dimensional framework, the research investigates the linguistic and semiotic elements that shape the perception of female dangdut singers. Data were collected from popular dangdut songs and live performances, analyzing lexical choices, metaphors, and visual symbols. The findings reveal that Dangdut often portrays women through a dichotomy of empowerment and objectification. Lyrics frequently depict women as seductresses, reinforcing gender stereotypes, while performances emphasize bodily expressions that shape public perception. However, some modern interpretations challenge these narratives, offering alternative representations of female agency. This study highlights the intersection of language, ideology, and cultural discourse in Dangdut, emphasizing its role in shaping social norms and gender identity. The implications of this research contribute to discussions on gender representation in popular music and media discourse in Indonesia.
