Abstract

Language preservation is an important effort to maintain the continuity of language and culture. This study aims to: (1) identify the factors that influence the use of Kualuh Malay among students from Labuhanbatu Utara, (2) analyze the strategies used by students to maintain the language, and (3) evaluate the motivation behind the language maintenance. A descriptive-qualitative method was chosen to gain in-depth understanding through observation, interviews, and documentation. The participants of this study consisted of 18 students. The results show that there are seven factors that influence Kualuh Malay language, including visits to hometowns and usage in the family. Students apply strategies such as family language policy and use in cultural activities. The main reason Labura students maintain Kualuh Malay is their pride of identity. This research recommends that the people of Labuhanbatu Utara continue to integrate the use of Kualuh Malay in daily life and support its preservation in education.

Abstract

Infusing outcome-based components such as advanced communication, productivity and accountability, critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, and flexibility and adaptability are deemed critical in a textbook. Conversely, the evidence revealed shortcomings in certain aspects of textbooks, as exemplified by the "Bahasa Inggris Kelas XII" textbook, which was deficient in advanced teamwork and communication skills. This research endeavor seeks to assess how the textbook incorporates outcome-based education. Utilizing data on the text unit order, the current study employed a descriptive qualitative research framework and acquired data through a Likert scale. The findings disclose that various aspects of outcome-based education are thoroughly addressed in this textbook. Nonetheless, the collaborative component and the intricate communication aspect are conspicuously absent as denoted in chapter 3 and chapter 4. A mere forty-seven percent of the content in the textbook "Bahasa Inggris Grade XII" has been assessed and meets the criteria of outcome-based education. This level of attainment, which falls below expectations, indicates a lack of complete adherence to the principles of outcomes-based education within the English textbook. As this ongoing research carries significant implications for those involved in developing and writing curricula. It is recommended that the textbook aligns with Spady's concept of Outcome-Based Education (OBE), addressing gaps such as the lack of emphasis on teamwork and complex communication aspects. To enhance the achievement of educational objectives, authors are advised to pinpoint areas for enhancement through collaboration with educators, students, and curriculum experts.
