Abstract

This study tourism plays a significant role in promoting local culture and contributing to regional economic growth. In recent years, educational institutions have recognized the importance of integrating tourism-related topics into language learning as a way to enhance students’ communication skills while fostering cultural awareness. In the context of Nias Island, which is known for its unique traditions and natural beauty, introducing tourism advertisement writing in English can serve as a means of promoting local destinations to a wider audience. This study focuses on analyzing the ability of ninth-grade students to write tourism advertisements, highlighting both their strengths and areas that need improvement. Investigates the writing abilities of ninth-grade students at SMP Negeri 1 Gido in crafting tourism advertisements about Nias Island. Through a qualitative descriptive approach, data were collected via observations, interviews, and documentation from 32 students in class IX-A. Results reveal that students possess strong skills in identifying content and creativity (96%) but face difficulties in grammar (43%), structure (66%), and persuasiveness (66%). Limited vocabulary, underdeveloped persuasive techniques, and insufficient knowledge of local attractions hinder their writing effectiveness. The findings highlight the importance of integrating persuasive writing instruction and cultural content into English lessons to support tourism promotion.

Abstract

Proverbs are one of the cultural heritages that contain noble values and traditional wisdom passed down from generation to generation. In the era of globalization, the younger generation, especially in Dahadanö Gawu-Gawu Village, Gunungsitoli City, tends to ignore proverbs spoken in traditional Nias wedding ceremonies, due to a lack of understanding of their meaning. This study aims to analyze the types of meanings contained in proverbs used in traditional Nias wedding ceremonies, to preserve and revitalize cultural values among the younger generation. This research uses a qualitative approach using semantic analysis. Data were collected through interviews with traditional leaders and relevant books, and then analyzed through the stages of data recognition, coding, reduction, interpretation, and representation. The researcher used Geoffrey Leech's semantic theory which classifies meaning into seven types: conceptual, connotative, social, affective, reflective, collocative, and thematic. A total of 40 proverbs were identified and categorized. The results show that the most dominant type of meaning is conceptual meaning (31%), followed by connotative (29%), social (12%), reflective (11%), affective (9%), collocative (4%), and thematic (4%). The findings show that proverbs are not only rich in literal meaning, but also rich in cultural, emotional, and social values. This study concludes that semantic analysis is an effective method to reveal the layered meanings in proverbs.

Abstract

This research explores the local wisdom values embedded in the marriage customs of the Lawelu village community through a sociolinguistic perspective. Marriage customs in Lawelu village, characterized by traditional ceremonies such as famaigi niha, fame’e laeduru, fanunu manu, femanga bawi nisila hulu, mangötö wongi, famözi aramba, folau bawi, falöwa, mame’e gö/famasao, dan mamuli nukha/manga gahe, are rich in symbolic language and cultural expressions that reflect community values and social norms. Using qualitative methods, including interviews and participant observations, the study examines how these customs communicate respect, solidarity, and familial bonds, reinforcing community identity and cultural continuity. The findings reveal that the linguistic elements used during marriage rituals serve not only as a means of communication but also as a vehicle for transmitting moral values and maintaining social cohesion. This research contributes to understanding how socioliunguistic practices in traditional ceremonies preserve local wisdom and promote cultual sustainability in rural communities, especially in Lawelu village, ulu moro’ö.
