Abstract

Dalam keberadaannya sebagai bahasa daerah, bahasa Singkil juga digunakan sebagai alat pengembangan dan penunjang budaya setempat. Namun disaat bepergian, bahasa ini jarang digunakan karena banyak penutur bahasa Singkil yang bilingual dengan bahasa Indonesia. Akibatnya, Bahasa yang jarang digunakan akan terancam punah. Berdasarkan judul di atas, penelitian ini bertujuan menjawab permasalahan penelitian yaitu: mengetahui ciri-ciri nominal dalam bahasa Singkil, proses-proses morfologi nominal dan mengetahui bentuk-bentuk nominal dalam bahasa Singkil seperti akar, afiksasi, reduplikasi dan majemuk kata nominal. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah deskriptif kualitatif. Untuk mendapatkan data, peneliti membuat pertanyaan dari pedoman wawancara yang direkam dengan Sony voice-recorder –UX56OF. Kemudian hasil penelitian ini memberikan gambaran lengkap tentang masalah penelitian. Selain itu, dalam menemukan analisis data, fenomena baru tersebut muncul karena terjadinya proses morfofonemik dengan dua vokal. Dan terakhir, peneliti menemukan bahwa morfologi nominal dalam bahasa Singkil dapat dianalisis dengan perilaku semantik, perilaku sintaksis, dan perilaku morfologis. Proses morfologi nominal meliputi afiksasi, reduplikasi dan gabungan. Kemudian bentuk-bentuk morfologi nominal yang ditemukan berkaitan dengan proses-prosesnya dibagi menjadi tiga yaitu; bentuk nominal dalam akar dan afiksasi, bentuk reduplikasi ,dan bentuk gabungan.

Abstract

Many students struggle to identify pronouns in sentences, a critical aspect of English grammar necessary for constructing clear and coherent communication. Pronouns play a vital role in sentence structure by replacing nouns to avoid redundancy, yet their correct usage poses challenges for learners. This study investigates the proficiency of tenth-grade students at SMA Swasta Cerdas Bangsa in identifying pronouns in English sentences and explores the specific difficulties they face. The research aimed to evaluate students' ability to recognize different types of pronouns and pinpoint areas requiring instructional support. Adopting a case study methodology, the study collected data from 30 students in class X.1 through a 30-item test consisting of multiple-choice and fill-in-the-blank questions. Results showed that only 41% of the students correctly identified pronouns, with common challenges including confusion in pronoun selection and insufficient understanding of pronoun usage. These findings highlight the need for targeted teaching strategies, such as explicit grammar instruction and contextualized exercises, to enhance students' grammatical competence and overall language proficiency.

Abstract

This community service program was implemented in Secanggang Village, Langkat Regency, at the eastern tip of Sumatra, a region renowned for its rich Malay traditions. The initiative aimed to preserve and promote local wisdom by producing an English-language short film, while simultaneously enhancing the English proficiency and acting skills of the younger generation. Using a participatory, training-based approach, participants received practical instruction in English communication and performance, which they applied directly in film production. Supported by Arti Studio Creative Network, the program encompassed language training, acting workshops, and technical assistance in filmmaking. The 28-minute film highlighted key aspects of Malay culture, including the historical Datuk Secanggang House, the Tepak Sirih Dance, and traditional culinary practices, thereby blending cultural documentation with global communication. Evaluation results indicated notable improvements in participants’ speaking confidence, acting ability, and cultural awareness. Beyond functioning as a work of visual art, the film served as a medium for language education, cultural preservation, and community empowerment. This activity demonstrates that local traditions can be creatively sustained through the integration of international languages and film. Future efforts should focus on sustained film production, broader community engagement, and optimized digital dissemination to ensure Malay cultural heritage from North Sumatra reaches a global audience.

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

The English-speaking skills of students at SMK SPP SNAKMA remain underdeveloped due to specific challenges in using the language within a vocational context. This study explores and analyzes these barriers to understand the underlying factors that hinder effective English communication among vocational students. Employing a qualitative approach, the research gathers data through interviews, observations, and questionnaires to capture students’ perspectives and real-time experiences with English language use. Findings reveal four primary obstacles: limited vocabulary, grammatical difficulties, speaking anxiety, and insufficient practice opportunities. These factors collectively impact students’ confidence and fluency in speaking English, which is critical in vocational settings where practical language skills are increasingly required. The study suggests that a more communicative teaching approach, combined with structured and frequent speaking practice, could significantly address these challenges. By focusing on interactive and supportive teaching methods, educators can create an environment that encourages active language use, helping students overcome barriers and develop essential English-speaking skills for their careers.

Abstract

This study investigates how Malay Batu Bara oral narratives express cultural identity, morality, and resistance through the analytical lens of English postcolonial theory. Addressing the lack of research applying postcolonial literary frameworks to Indonesian oral traditions, the study aims to reinterpret local oral texts using key concepts from Bhabha (hybridity, mimicry) and Spivak (subaltern voice) to understand how these narratives negotiate cultural power. A qualitative comparative design was employed, drawing on twelve Batu Bara oral texts including pantun, gurindam, ritual verses, and folktale fragments supplemented by interviews with five cultural informants. These were compared with selected English literary works exhibiting parallel moral themes. Data were analyzed using thematic coding and cultural semiotics to identify symbolic patterns and interpret how postcolonial concepts function within the local narratives. Findings indicate four specific moral and cultural patterns recurring across the oral texts: ecological harmony, respect for social hierarchy, communal ethics, and moral sincerity. These values are articulated through metaphor, performance, and collective expression, revealing how Batu Bara narratives function as moral counter-discourses that embody subaltern agency and cultural resilience. The cross-analysis demonstrates a form of “moral hybridity,” where local ethical worldviews intersect with and reinterpret English postcolonial concepts. The study contributes theoretically by positioning Malay oral literature as an active epistemological space within postcolonial discourse and practically by offering a model for integrating indigenous oral traditions into comparative literary pedagogy.

Abstract

This study aimed to explore students' perceptions of self-confidence in speaking English as a foreign language within classroom settings. Utilizing qualitative methods, data were collected through administration of questionnaires to 5th semester students of Technology and Information System Study Program at Institut Teknology Sawit Indonesia (ITSI) Medan intake 2025-2026. Then, the study applied Miles, Huberman and Saldana’s steps (2014) in analysing the data. The results showed that most students had positive and good perception of self-confidence in speaking English in the classroom. Moreover, it revealed that self-confidence significantly influences students' willingness to engage in spoken communication. Factors contributing to self-confidence include supportive classroom environments, peer interactions, and effective teaching strategies. Furthermore, the study highlights the importance of fostering a positive atmosphere that encourages risk-taking in language use, ultimately enhancing students' speaking abilities. Implications for educators include the need to implement practices that build self-confidence and promote active participation in language learning. Keywords: perception, self-confidence, speaking, English

Abstract

Interpersonal relationships and friendship are central themes in literary works, yet they are rarely examined through communication theories such as Social Penetration Theory. This study addresses the limited application of communication theories in literary analysis by examining interpersonal relationships in Fast as the Wind by Nat Gould. It highlights the contribution of integrating communication theory into literary studies, particularly in understanding character interaction and relational development. A qualitative descriptive method is employed using content analysis of dialogues and narrative elements that reflect communication patterns and self-disclosure. The analysis reveals that social penetration occurs through four stages: orientation, exploratory affective exchange, affective exchange, and stable exchange, indicating a progression from superficial interaction to deeper emotional intimacy. Three types of friendship are identified: reciprocal, receptive, and associative, with reciprocal friendship as the most dominant. The results further show that trust, self-disclosure, and social context play significant roles in shaping interpersonal depth and relational dynamics among characters. The horse racing setting not only creates competition but also fosters cooperation and strong interpersonal bonds. These findings reinforce the relevance of communication theories in literary analysis and expand their applicability in interpreting interpersonal dynamics in fictional narratives.
