Abstract

Language is more than a communication tool; it embodies cultural identity, social hierarchy, and shared values. In the Batu Bara Malay community, address systems function as structured linguistic expressions of age, rank, kinship, and familiarity, with respect and politeness being integral to interpersonal interactions—especially in addressing elders or individuals of higher status. However, the advent of globalization and social media has introduced new modes of communication among the younger generation, creating tension between traditional norms and emerging language practices. This study investigates the address systems and politeness strategies in the Batu Bara Malay community, focusing on how these are used and transformed in social interaction. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach and linguistic ethnography, data were gathered through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and documentation involving native speakers across varying ages and social strata. The findings highlight the complex variety of address terms and politeness strategies that reflect deep-rooted cultural values and social order. Despite generational shifts, the community continues to uphold linguistic traditions as a means of preserving cultural identity and maintaining social cohesion.

Abstract

This study explores the implementation of the Task-Based Learning (TBL) model to improve students' writing skills in business correspondence at SMK PAB 2 Helvetia. The research follows a Classroom Action Research (CAR) methodology, comprising two cycles with a focus on the four stages: planning, action, observation, and reflection. The primary objective was to enhance the students' ability to write effective business correspondence, such as business emails and letters. In Cycle 1, only 38% of students met the Minimum Completeness Criteria (MCC) of achieving a score of 85 or higher, indicating the need for adjustments in task design. After incorporating changes in Cycle 2, such as additional feedback and revised task complexity, 90% of the students achieved the MCC, demonstrating significant improvement. The study highlights the effectiveness of TBL in engaging students with real-world tasks, leading to enhanced writing skills. This research contributes to the pedagogical understanding of integrating TBL in vocational education, particularly for improving business communication skills in the digital age.
