This study investigated the errors in the use of the simple past tense in narrative texts written by tenth-grade students at SMA Negeri Taekas.

A total of 113 errors were identified and categorized into omission, addition, misformation, and misordering.

Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan struktur makro dan superstruktur dalam wacana ritual Fek Nono Hau Ana berdasarkan pendekatan analisis wacana kritis Teun Van Dijk. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode deskriptif kualitatif. Temuan menunjukkan bahwa wacana ritual Fek Nono Hau Ana dilakukan beberapa lokasi, yakni tola, pintu pertama Oename, pintu kedua Oename, puncak Oename, dan mesbah utama, tetapi masih merupakan satu-kesatuan yang tidak terpisahkan. Tema global wacana ritual Fek Nono Hau Ana adalah religiusitas yang merupakan suatu proses pencarian jalan kebenaran atau petunjuk oleh masyarakat Tun Tun kepada leluhur untuk membuka lahan baru dalam bercocok tanam. Secara skematik, wacana ritual Fek Nono Hau Ana terdiri dari pendahuluan, isi, dan penutup. Bagian pendahuluan merupakan sapaan kepada leluhur, bagian isi merupakan permohonan izin kepada leluhur, dan bagian penutup merupakan harapan dari masyarakat kepada leluhur keempat suku besar, Maun Ufa, Bana Mnasi, dan sang pemberi berkat untuk memberikan petunjuk perizinan membuka lahan. Penelitian ini berimplikasi langsung pada masyarakat Timur secara khusus, yakni sebagai suatu bentuk pendokumentasian dalam rangka pengantisipasian kepunahan ritual Fek Nono Hau Ana.Fek Nono Hau Ana Ritual in the Agricultural System of the East Miomaffo Community: Teun Van Dijk's Critical Discourse StudyThis study uses Teun Van Dijk's critical discourse analysis approach to describe the macrostructure and superstructure in the Fek Nono Hau Ana ritual discourse discourse. This study uses a qualitative descriptive method. The findings show that the Fek Nono Hau Ana ritual discourse is carried out in several locations, namely tola, the first door of Oename, the second door of Oename, the peak of Oename, and the main altar, but it is still an inseparable whole. The global theme of the Fek Nono Hau Ana ritual discourse is religiosity, a process of searching for the path of truth or guidance by the Tun Tun community to their ancestors to open new land for farming. Schematically, the Fek Nono Hau Ana ritual discourse consists of an introduction, content, and closing. The introduction is a greeting to the ancestors, the content is a request for permission to the ancestors, and the closing is the community's hope for the ancestors of the four major tribes, Maun Ufa, Bana Mnasi, and the giver of blessings to provide guidance for permission to open land. This research has direct implications for Eastern society, namely as a form of documentation to anticipate the extinction of the Fek Nono Hau Ana ritual.

Abstract

Agama merupakan bagian dari kodrat alami manusia. Agama bisa lahir ditempat tertentu yang disebut agama asli, pribumi atau suku, tetapi agama juga bisa dari tempat lain, yakni agama wahyu atau agama unversal, karena dianut banyak orang dari berbagai penjuru. Kedua agama ini memiliki kesamaan dari sisi intinya, karena keduanya  mengaktualisasikan keyakinan yang sama kepada “Sesuatu” yang paling tinggi. Agama asli menyebutnya Yang Suci, agama wahyu menamainya Allah. Kepada-Nya semua manusia percaya dan menyerahkan hidupnya seutuhnya. Dengan adanya gempuran arus globalisasi, peran agama dipertanyakan. Kaum skeptik ilmiah menuduh, “agama suam-suam kuku, tidak mampu bersaing dengan sains. Bagi manusia modern, peran agama sudah terkubur. Namun agama tetap berperan sebagai penjaga dan pemersatu umat manusia di tengah masyarakat multikultural. Agama yang sempat meredup, bangkit kembali dan masuk ke panggung politik dunia, sebagai “penanda” bahwa akal budi dan peradaban modern tidak mampu memenuhi kebutuhan rohani manusia. Agama tetap menjadi “instruktur” yang mengantar kembali manusia kepada “Yang Suci”, Allah sang Pencipta-Nya.

Abstract

This study aimed to examine the effect of the Direct Interaction Strategy on teaching reading comprehension of narrative texts at the tenth grade of SMA Negeri Taekas in the academic year 2024/2025. The research employed a quasi-experimental design with two groups: an experimental class that received instruction using the Direct Interaction Strategy and a control class that was taught using conventional teaching methods. Data were collected using pre-tests and post-tests to measure students' reading comprehension before and after the intervention.The findings reveal a significant improvement in the reading comprehension scores of the experimental class compared to the control class. The experimental group showed an increase from an average pre-test score of 43.6% (categorized as "Very Poor") to a post-test score of 89.86% ("Excellent"), marking a 106% improvement. In contrast, the control class, which was taught using conventional methods, showed minimal improvement, with an average score increase from 30% to only 28.26%, still categorized as "Very Poor." These results indicate that the Direct Interaction Strategy effectively enhances students’ comprehension of narrative texts by fostering engagement, encouraging critical thinking, and providing real-time feedback. The study concludes that implementing the Direct Interaction Strategy in teaching reading comprehension significantly benefits students' understanding of narrative texts. Therefore, it is recommended that educators incorporate this approach into their teaching practices to optimize students’ learning outcomes.
