Abstract

The ability to analyze information in report texts is an essential skill in strengthening students’ literacy in line with the Independent Curriculum. This Classroom Action Research (CAR) aims to examine the effectiveness of the Talking Stick method assisted by the Magic Bag learning media in improving the ability to analyze report texts in 29 students of class XI-F at SMP Negeri 10 Malang. This study is based on Vygotsky's Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD) theory and the principle of Culturally Responsive Teaching (CRT), which emphasizes the role of cultural context in learning. The research was conducted using the Kemmis & McTaggart model in two cycles. Local cultural content such as the Kasada Ceremony, Malang Tempo Doeloe, and Larung Sesaji Ceremony was integrated into collaborative learning activities. Data were collected through tests, observations, and questionnaires. The results showed a significant improvement in students' ability to analyze report texts, with the average score increasing from 62.5 in Cycle I to 78.2 in Cycle II, and the completeness percentage rising from 34.5% to 79.3% against the Minimum Completeness Criteria (KKM). Improvements were also seen in aspects such as identifying key information, understanding text structure, and drawing conclusions. This study demonstrates that the Talking Stick method combined with Magic Bag media and local cultural content effectively enhances students' literacy skills, encourages active participation, and strengthens contextual learning. It is recommended as an innovative cooperative strategy in teaching report texts at the junior high school level.

Abstract

Budi Darma's short story collection, Orang-Orang Bloomington, contains stories set in American culture while still addressing common human anxieties. Budi Darma's writing style, which tends toward the absurd and reflective, creates a complex narrative experience. The objectives of this study include analyzing representation and uncovering the meaning of symbols and icons in Orang-Orang Bloomington. The research data consist of narrative excerpts, dialogue, and descriptions containing symbols and icons. Supporting instruments, such as data tables, were used to facilitate the classification and analysis of signs. The data collection process involved several stages: reading all short stories in their entirety, identifying sections of the text containing semiotic signs, noting relevant quotations, grouping data based on sign types according to Peirce's classification (icons and symbols), and compiling selected quotations for further analysis. The results show that symbols depict alienation, inner emptiness, and the characters' identity crises, and form deeper meanings within the narrative structure. This finding confirms that the use of semiotic signs in short stories not only enriches the narrative, but also reflects existential themes such as social alienation and the search for the meaning of life
