Abstract

This study aims to identify metaphors found in ‘Kebalai’ chanting in Ba'a, classify the types of metaphors, and analyze their implications for language learning. The research employs a descriptive qualitative method, using data collection techniques such as interviews with native speakers of the Ba'a. The analysis reveals 19 metaphors in ‘Kebalai’ chanting, which can be divided into structural, orientational, and ontological metaphors. One example of a metaphor is lelesu na ana buka maloa fo ana soluk, en na la'ok ana longge no dale namahoko, which translates to ‘the door he opens wide to welcome, his footsteps dance happily’. This metaphor signifies that the person is open and sincere when receiving guests. The phrase lelesu na ana buka maloa, meaning 'opening the door wide', represents friendly behavior and an attitude of openness. Here, opening the door serves as a concrete action that symbolizes the opportunity to enter and the willingness to accept others. The implications of this research for language learning include: improving the understanding of abstract concepts, expanding vocabulary, developing critical thinking skills, enhancing cultural understanding, mastering figurative language, and improving communication skills.

Abstract

This research aims to investigate the effect of the FluentU application on the reading comprehension of eleventh-grade students. FluentU is an AI-assisted language learning application that uses authentic video content, such as movie clips, music videos, and interviews, integrated with interactive subtitles and vocabulary tools to improve learners’ listening, reading, and comprehension skills in a real-world context. This study employed a quantitative research design with a quasi-experimental approach. The population of this research consisted of eleventh-grade students of SMK Negeri 1 Siantar in the academic year 2024/2025. Two classes were taken as the sample: XIBS-1 as the experimental group (36 students) and XIBS-2 as the control group (36 students). The samples were selected using purposive sampling. The experimental group was taught using the FluentU application, while the control group was taught using conventional methods. Data were collected through pre-tests and post-tests administered to both groups. The findings showed that the mean pre-test score of the experimental group was 67.78, while the control group obtained 62.78. Furthermore, the mean post-test score of the experimental group was 81.94, compared to 75.14 in the control group. The standard deviations were 8.475 for the experimental group and 7.791 for the control group. Data analysis using the t-test revealed a Sig. (2-tailed) value of 0.000 < 0.05, indicating that the alternative hypothesis (Ha) was accepted and the null hypothesis (H0) was rejected. Therefore, it can be concluded that the use of the FluentU application has a significant effect on the reading comprehension of eleventh-grade students at SMK Negeri 1 Siantar

Abstract

Keluarga merupakan lingkungan pendidikan utama yang membentuk perkembangan emosional dan intelektual anak. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui dampak ketidakharmonisan keluarga terhadap motivasi dan hasil belajar siswa di SD Swasta Cinta Rakyat 3 Pematangsiantar. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah pendekatan kuantitatif jenis survei dengan teknik purposive sampling untuk menentukan sampel. Data dikumpulkan melalui kuesioner ketidakharmonisan keluarga, kuesioner motivasi belajar, dan nilai rata-rata rapor siswa Semester Ganjil Tahun Ajaran 2025/2026. Analisis data menggunakan Uji Korelasi Pearson dan Analisis Regresi Linear Sederhana. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan adanya hubungan negatif yang signifikan antara ketidakharmonisan keluarga dan motivasi belajar, serta dampak langsung terhadap penurunan hasil belajar siswa. Ketidakharmonisan keluarga menyebabkan siswa mengalami kecemasan, rendah diri, dan sulit berkonsentrasi, yang berimplikasi pada rendahnya partisipasi aktif dan pencapaian akademik. Penelitian ini merekomendasikan perlunya sinergi antara guru, orang tua, dan sekolah melalui layanan bimbingan konseling untuk mendukung siswa dari latar belakang keluarga tidak harmonis.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of using Cogni Anki Flash Card media on improving vocabulary mastery of eleventh grade students. Cogni Anki Flash Card is a learning tool or application that uses a spaced repetition method to help users remember vocabulary, use it grammatically and vocabulary information more effectively. This study uses a quantitative research design that uses experimental and control classes. The population of this study was eleventh grade students at SMK Negeri 1 Siantar in the 2025/2026 academic year. The researcher took two classes as samples in this study. The sample was XI DKV 1 as a control class consisting of 36 students where this class was only taught using conventional methods. While class XI DKV 2 consisting of 36 was an experimental class that was taught and received treatment from Cogni Anki Flash Card. Data were obtained through pre-tests and post-tests given to students in both classes. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, percentage increase in scores, normality and homogeneity tests, paired and independent t-tests, and effect size analysis. The findings revealed significant improvement in the experimental class, with the mean score increasing from 46.39 in the pre-test to 83.06 in the post-test. Based on the post-test classification, 5.6% of students achieved the “excellent” category, 44.5% were in “very good,” and 50.0% were in “good.” In contrast, the control class showed only modest progress, with the mean score increasing from 48.61 to 66.53. The distribution of the post-test results showed that 11.1% of students achieved the “excellent” category, 13.9% were “fair,” 27.8% were “fair,” and 8.3% were “poor.” Statistical analysis through paired and independent t-tests confirmed a significant difference between the two classes. The t-test for effect size calculation (Cohen’s d = 0.74) indicated a moderate effect on students’ vocabulary mastery. Furthermore, the t-test showed a p-value (2-tailed) of 0.000, which is below 0.05. Consequently, the null hypothesis (H₀) is rejected, and the alternative hypothesis (H₁) is accepted since the p-value (0.000) < 0.05. These findings indicate that Anki Flash Cards can be an effective tool to improve students' vocabulary mastery at SMK Negeri 1 Siantar
