Abstract

The purpose of this study was to use extensive reading approaches to improve the reading and writing literacy of teenagers in Tanjung Gundap, Batam. With 25 participants, the study used a one-group pretest-posttest methodology and a quantitative pre-experimental design. The study's main objective was to assess how well the skimming technique—a crucial tactic in lengthy reading—improves literacy. Twenty-item pre- and post-tests were used to gather data, and paired sample t-tests were used to compare the outcomes before and after the intervention. With a p-value of 0.000, the data from the pre-test and post-test revealed a significant difference in the students' reading and writing abilities. The post-test findings showed a movement toward higher literacy categories, with more children earning high and very high literacy scores. Before the intervention, most students had moderate to low reading levels. This study shows that reading widely, and using skimming strategies in particular, can improve literacy. According to the results, structured reading programs can significantly enhance students' academic performance, especially in the areas of writing and reading comprehension. In order to improve student learning results, the study highlights how crucial it is to incorporate comprehensive reading strategies into instructional procedures.

Abstract

Animated films play a crucial role in conveying moral messages and shaping character, especially for young audiences. Although there have been previous studies examining Moana (2016) from perspectives such as gender roles or cultural representation, there has been a lack of focus on the analysis of instrumental values, especially for the sequel, Moana 2. Therefore, this study aims to identify the instrumental values represented by the main character, Moana, in Moana 2, while analyzing how these values are reflected through the narrative and her interactions with other characters. This study uses a qualitative descriptive approach with content analysis, where the data comes from Moana's dialogues throughout the film, which were coded and interpreted using Rokeach's 1973 instrumental values framework. The results reveal that 17 out of 18 instrumental values are represented. These values are evident in her decision-making process, her leadership role, her way of resolving conflicts, and her interpersonal interactions, which show that these values serve as ethical guidelines that shape her character development. Ultimately, the conclusion is that Moana 2 depicts Moana as a morally mature leader, with her instrumental values integrated into the storyline, thereby reinforcing the function of animated films as an effective tool for character education and moral development.

Abstract

This study analyzed morphological processes in terms used by the Genshin Impact community on HoYoLAB, where English serves as the lingua franca in communication between players. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, data was collected from user posts and comments and analyzed using morphological theory. The results showed that composition is the dominant process, followed by compounding, clipping, initialisms, abbreviations, and derivations, which are primarily used to support efficient communication in online discussions, while borrowings are less common and mainly associated with narrative and tradition-related contexts. This study highlights the role of morphological processes in shaping community-specific terminology and reflects the dynamics of language use in digital gaming communities.
