Abstract

Summary writing is widely used as both a means for assessing student learning as well as a way to use other sources in academic writing. As writing teachers we know that our students have difficulty with summarizing information in an organized and accurate way. In their summaries our students focused on trivial information, or simply copied entire sentences from the source text and gave their own opinions and experiences in their summaries. Unskilled readers may need instruction and practice in summarizing paragraphs; other readers may need instruction and practice in summarizing larger chunks of information. They need an approach to sort information, and they need to see how skilled readers with sufficient background knowledge identify important information and summarize. The difficulty of the materials must be graded so that the students’ strategies and skills can be developed progressively Learning should start from single paragraph level summarizing and work up to section summarization and summarization of entire chapters. Finally, they can summarize from multiple sources. The teacher’s instructional materials and models of how to use an appropriate summarization strategy of various text lengths, content area and complexity will improve the ability of students to summarize. The students’ background knowledge is also important in making judgments about the important information in summarizing.

Abstract

This study suggests that conceptual summarizing of multiple sources is key to deep learning and useful to language learning strategies. The participants of this study were 68 students from three classes studying in upper intermediate reading course at English Department of State Polytechnic of Sriwijaya in Palembang. The t test indicated that the students who received strategic summarizing intervention in this study received significantly higher marks after eight reading and summarizing measures using computer based concept map. Collected data from questionnaire and focus group discussion showed that during summarizing from multiple sources using computer-based concept map the students employed prereading, conceptual reading and summarizing strategies. We could note the student activities which stressed the various aspects of conceptual learning. It is suggested that conceptual summarizing of multiple sources using computer-based concept map is used in English reading because it allows students to process information from sources, without which they are not able to organize main ideas into a coherent summary. It also facilitates students to become familiar with the textual structure of English academic summary writing.

Abstract

  ABSTRACT: This study aims to analyze verb tense usage in the lyrics of Jamie Miller’s Broken Memories album, with three primary objectives: to classify the types of tenses used, quantify their frequency to identify temporal patterns, and examine their function in narrative construction through Labov’s (2008) pre-construction framework. Adopting a qualitative approach, this research analyzed lyrics obtained through triangulated sources, including Genius.com and official streaming platforms, and cross-referenced them with auditory verification. The data were processed using computational tagging and thematic coding to identify grammatical patterns. Findings reveal that the simple past tense dominates, often reflecting personal memories and emotional retrospection, while the present tense establishes immediacy and intimacy. The occasional use of the future tense suggests uncertainty and aspiration. These tense patterns support emotional storytelling and reflect mental narrative structuring by songwriters. The study concludes that grammar in popular music operates beyond conventional rules, functioning as a creative tool for emotional expression and audience engagement. Future research is encouraged to explore broader datasets across artists, as well as include modality, voice, and listener reception to deepen understanding of grammatical strategies in musical narratives. Keywords: Verb Tenses, Frequency, Narrative Function, Broken Memories, Pre-Construction Framework

Abstract

This research explores the use of figurative language in the album The Car by Arctic Monkeys, focusing on its role in enhancing lyrical depth within the alternative rock genre. The main objectives are to identify the types of figurative language used and determine the most prevalent type in the album’s lyrics. A descriptive qualitative research design was employed, with data collected by active listening and recording of linguistic phenomena, specifically by analyzing lyrics from the Genius website and listening to the album on Spotify. The analysis was guided by Perrine’s (2017) framework, which categorizes figurative language into 12 types: simile, metaphor, personification, apostrophe, synecdoche, metonymy, symbol, allegory, paradox, hyperbole, understatement, and irony. The findings reveal 64 instances of figurative language across the album’s 10 songs, with metaphor being the most frequent (22 instances), followed by symbol (14 instances), irony (11 instances), personification (7 instances), hyperbole (4 instances), paradox (3 instances), understatement (1 instance), simile (1 instance), and synecdoche (1 instance). Notably, apostrophe, metonymy, and allegory were absent. The study concludes that figurative language significantly enriches the artistic expression of The Car, making the lyrics more engaging and emotionally resonant. These findings contribute to understanding the creative use of language in alternative rock music.

Abstract

This study examined the development of a promotional video script for Ketek Wisata @3 Palembang, a traditional boat tour that showcased the cultural heritage of the Musi River. The primary objective was to produce a persuasive, narrative-driven script aimed at attracting both domestic and international tourists. The study adopted the Research and Development (R&D) method proposed by Sukmadinata (2017), which involved three main stages: preliminary study, product development, and final testing. The unit of analysis was a bilingual video script written in both English and Indonesian, structured according to the AIDA model (Attention, Interest, Desire, Action). Data were gathered through observation, interviews, and documentation. The analysis was carried out using a qualitative descriptive approach, drawing on insights from expert evaluations. The findings indicated that it is necessary to integrate cultural storytelling, visual support, and persuasive narrative element. Expert feedback validated the script's clarity and linguistic accuracy. The final product served as a replicable framework for promoting local tourism via digital platforms such as YouTube and TikTok. It was recommended that future promotional efforts continue to involve local community perspectives and uphold cultural authenticity to further strengthen tourism visibility.
