Abstract

Karang Ria Beach is the sole natural beach in urban Manado, serving as both a public space and a primary livelihood source for local fishermen. Recently, the Tongkole Fishermen Group has faced declining catches, unstable income, and weak management and marketing capacities. This community partnership program aims to empower the group through an andragogic approach involving training, appropriate technology implementation, and continuous mentoring. Interventions focused on creative economy innovations, including cultural performances, creative competitions, decorative installations, and digital marketing strategies. The results showed a significant increase in management capacity and the emergence of new income streams, evidenced by a 520% rise in economic transaction activities. This program proves that integrating cultural creativity and marketing innovation can effectively revitalize coastal economies. Future recommendations include establishing cooperatives and diversifying experience-based tourism to sustain the program's impact.

Abstract

Social support is a crucial pillar in psychological recovery and an individual's ability to establish social interactions. Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine illustrates how forms of social support can catalyze changes in the main character's behavior and mental health. However, previous research on Taylor's classifications of social support in novels remains very limited. The objective of this research was to identify and analyze the reflection of the three types of social support in the novel Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine by Gail Honeyman and describe the role of each in plot and character development. The approach in this study is Genetic Structuralism integrated with Social Support Theory. Data were collected in the form of dialog quotations, narratives, and descriptions that reflected social support, then classified according to Taylor's theory. The findings of the study showed that emotional support was most prominent, followed by informational support and instrumental support. Emotional support provides Eleanor with the empathy and understanding needed to rebuild her sense of self, while informational and informational and instrumental supports offer practical guidance and tangible assistance that empower her recovery. Together, these social supports drive Eleanor's healing and willingness to engage socially. The structuralist genetic approach reveals the author's personal perspectives on loneliness and kindness that emerge as foundational themes, illustrating how interpersonal connections are essential for personal transformation and social reintegration. This study highlights how literature reflects psychological realities and suggests that portraying social support can deepen understanding in both literary and psychological fields, encouraging writers to emphasize everyday kindness in character recovery.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effectiveness of summarizing strategies in improving students’ writing ability. Students at SMA N 1 Lembean Timur continue to experience low writing proficiency, which is marked by limited English vocabulary and weak sentence construction skills. This quantitative study employed a pre-experimental design using a single-group pre-test and post-test format. Purposive sampling was used to select 20 out of 60 eleventh-grade students at SMA N 1 Lembean Timur as the research sample. The study was conducted over two weeks in May 2023. An expository writing test was used as the research instrument, requiring students to write a short expository paragraph that was evaluated based on content, organization, vocabulary, grammar, and mechanics. To determine the significance of the improvement, the data were analyzed using gain scores and a t-test. The results showed a significant improvement in students’ writing performance, with the mean pre-test score increasing from 57.50 to 74.00 in the post-test. A statistically significant difference was indicated by the significance value, which was less than 0.05 (p = 0.000 < 0.05). As a result, the null hypothesis (H₀) was rejected, and the alternative hypothesis (H₁) was accepted. These findings demonstrate that summarizing strategies effectively enhance students’ writing abilities and should be appropriately applied in classroom instruction to improve students’ learning outcomes.

Abstract

Vocabulary mastery is an essential aspect of learning English; therefore, appropriate learning strategies are needed to help students improve their understanding and effective use of vocabulary. In practice, the implementation of these strategies is inseparable from various challenges, making it important to examine how teachers apply vocabulary-learning strategies, the obstacles they encounter, and the efforts they make to overcome them. This study examines the strategies employed by teachers to improve students’ vocabulary, identifies the obstacles they face, and explains the methods used to address these challenges. A descriptive qualitative method was employed in this study, which was conducted at SMP Negeri 2 Tondano during the 2024/2025 academic year. The participants were two English teachers, and the data were collected through interviews and documentation. The collected data were analyzed using data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal that teachers use strategies such as translation, drills, memorization, singing, and games. The obstacles identified include limited instructional time, low student motivation, a lack of learning media, and variations in students’ language proficiency. To overcome these challenges, teachers adapt their strategies, create simple learning resources, and apply engaging instructional methods. In conclusion, effective teaching strategies play a crucial role in improving students’ vocabulary mastery. This research aims to provide guidance for teachers and researchers in developing more effective vocabulary-learning approaches. In addition, the findings offer practical insights that can support educators and schools in designing vocabulary instruction that is more responsive to students’ needs and classroom conditions.

Abstract

The development of teachers' roles extends beyond teaching to leadership roles. This study aims to describe and identify teacher leadership development, its determinants, and its outcomes in elementary school settings. This study employed a case study method with a multi-case study design. The primary data source was an informal group of 11 participants, consisting of three principals and eight teachers. Data collected through interviews, observations, and documentation studies were processed using qualitative data analysis techniques using an interaction model. The validity of the research data was tested using credibility, transferability, dependability, and confirmability techniques. The results of the study are presented in three findings. First, elementary school teacher leadership development occurs through teacher learning, the boundaries of teacher leadership encompassing the classroom, group, and organization, and roles within and outside the school. Second, the determinants of elementary school teacher leadership development include internal and external factors, as well as interactions between principals and teachers. Third, the results of elementary school teacher leadership development include outcomes at the teacher, student, and school levels. The results of this study are discussed in relation to theory and empirical evidence from previous research. Furthermore, the research conclusions and recommendations are described
