Abstract

The Community Service Team of the English Studies Programme, Universitas Gadjah Mada, organised a programme at SMA 5 Purworejo, with the theme ‘Developing Speaking Skills through Storytelling.’ This programme was designed in response to a request from the teachers and the Principal of the SMAN 5 Purworejo, who considered that the students urgently need assistance in improving the students' English-speaking proficiency. This year's programme was conducted using a hybrid approach (online and offline). The programme focused on using folklore as a means to develop students’ speaking competence. As an initial step, the team provided the students with theoretical frameworks on language features, particularly those pertaining to English speaking skills. In the subsequent phase, the team assisted the students in applying the previously discussed language theories in two tutorial sessions. The students enthusiastically and actively participated in the tutoring sessions. They succeeded in applying the theories introduced to them. After that, the students were evaluated based on their performance. All evaluation components indicated that the students achieved above-average scores. === Tim Pengabdian kepada Masyarakat (PkM) Prodi Sastra Inggris Universitas Gadjah Mada telah menyelenggarakan program di SMA Negeri 5 Purworejo, dengan tema ‘Mengembangkan Keterampilan Berbicara Melalui Storytelling.’ Program ini dirancang untuk menjawab permintaan dari para guru dan kepala sekolah SMA Negeri 5 Purworejo, yang menilai bahwa siswa mereka sangat membutuhkan bantuan dalam meningkatkan kemampuan berbicara dalam Bahasa Inggris.

Abstract

Children's literature often serves as a tool for conveying complex phenomena, and one such phenomenon is the solar eclipse. While lunar eclipses have been a recurring theme in children's literature, solar eclipses have received less attention in this context. Nevertheless, in the wake of the remarkable total solar eclipse in the United States in 2017, certain children's literary works have been popular because of the use of the solar eclipse as a central theme. Noteworthy examples include The Total Solar Eclipse of Nestor Lopez by Andrea Cuevas and Every Soul A Star by Wendy Mass, both narrate tales set against the backdrop of a solar eclipse. This study examines the role played by the solar eclipse in character development and the incorporation of mythical elements within these selected novels by employing David Leeming's theory of myth, through a close reading. This study demonstrates how the solar eclipse symbolizes character growth, fostering enhanced self-confidence and self-acceptance, thereby reflecting the mythological notion that solar eclipses possess transformative potential. Furthermore, these novels encompass myths such as the act of biting during a solar eclipse, the transformation, the rituals during the eclipse, and the euphoria of the solar eclipse. However, this study also reveals instances of misinterpretation of these myths, thereby highlighting potential issues of cultural appropriation, which may contribute to children's misunderstanding.
