Abstract

The "Uang Panai" (bridewealth) custom holds significant cultural weight in various Indonesian ethnic groups, particularly among the Bugis, Moronene, and Sunda. This study investigates the intricate relationship between tradition and contemporary perceptions surrounding Uang Panai in these three distinct communities. Utilizing a qualitative approach with an ethnographic design, the research employed in-depth interviews and participant observation with community elders, young adults, and cultural figures in selected regions of South Sulawesi (Bugis), Southeast Sulawesi (Moronene), and West Java (Sunda). Key findings reveal diverse interpretations and practices of Uang Panai, ranging from its symbolic value as a reflection of family honor and social status among the Bugis, to its more pragmatic function as a shared financial responsibility in the Moronene community. In contrast, the Sundanese perspective, while acknowledging traditional dowry, shows less emphasis on a comparable "Uang Panai" concept, often prioritizing the couple's readiness. The study concludes that while Uang Panai remains a fundamental cultural element, its execution and societal acceptance are continually shaped by evolving socio-economic conditions and generational perceptions, leading to varying degrees of adaptation and preservation across these Indonesian ethnic groups.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the implementation of traditional games in English learning and their impact on student motivation at SMPN 20 Kendari. A descriptive qualitative method was used with purposive sampling, involving class 7F students as research subjects. Data were collected through interviews and classroom observations, then analyzed through data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results show that the Lengko-Lengko game significantly increases students’ interest, attention, and participation in learning. The classroom becomes more interactive and enjoyable, encouraging teamwork, responsibility, and student confidence in discussions and asking questions. Beyond academic achievement, the game also strengthens character, promotes positive cultural values, and enhances social relationships among students. Lengko-Lengko proves to be an effective and innovative teaching method that can be applied not only in English lessons but also across other subjects to create meaningful and engaging learning experiences.

Abstract

This study explores students’ perceptions of using the traditional game Lengko-lengko to enhance motivation in English learning. A descriptive qualitative method was employed with 15 seventh-grade students at SMP Negeri 20 Kendari as participants, selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and documentation, then analyzed using Miles and Huberman’s interactive model. The findings reveal that Lengko-lengko fosters three aspects of intrinsic motivation: curiosity, enjoyment, and sense of achievement. Students showed eagerness to explore new vocabulary, experienced greater enjoyment through interactive and collaborative activities, and developed pride and confidence from their achievements during the game. These aspects created a continuous motivational cycle that supported active participation, cultural appreciation, and positive attitudes toward English learning. The study suggests that integrating traditional games into teaching strategies not only enriches students’ language learning experiences but also preserves cultural values.
