Abstract

This research aimed to enhance the speaking skills of the third-grade students at SMPN Kota Baru Kefamenanu through the use of folklore. The study employed a pre-experimental design, consisting of three stages: pre-test, treatment, and post-test. Initial findings from the pre-test showed that students had an average speaking skill score of 53.60%, classified as "average." After incorporating folklore as a treatment in the learning process, the post-test results indicated a significant improvement, with an average score increasing to 83%, categorizing students as "very good" (71-85). This demonstrates that folklore was effective in improving students' speaking skills, moving them from an average to an excellent level of proficiency. Additionally, a questionnaire was distributed to assess students' perceptions of using folklore as a learning tool. The results revealed that 83% of students either strongly agreed or agreed that folklore significantly aided in enhancing their speaking skills. These findings suggest that folklore not only improves students' speaking abilities but is also well-received as an engaging and effective instructional method. This research provides insights into the benefits of integrating cultural narratives into language learning, contributing to more effective communication skills development.

Abstract

This study aimed to analyze the intrinsic and extrinsic elements of the film Titanic, directed and written by James Cameron. Using a descriptive qualitative method, the researcher served as the primary instrument for data collection and analysis. Data were gathered through repeated viewing of the film and selecting relevant dialogue to identify intrinsic and extrinsic structures. The intrinsic elements examined include theme, plot, characterization, setting, and point of view. The extrinsic elements analyzed consisted of social, educational, religious, and cultural values. The findings showed that Titanic reflected a love story between individuals from different social backgrounds, depicted through a flashback narrative, complex character development, and rich settings. The extrinsic aspects highlighted values such as cooperation, responsibility, sacrifice, and cultural appreciation. This analysis was expected to contribute to a deeper understanding of literary and cinematic elements, particularly for students studying literature through film.
