Abstract

This correlational study investigates the impact of folklore-implemented teaching on the integrated English language skills of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) students. Embracing a holistic approach to language learning, the study explores the interconnected development of listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills when exposed to the immersive context of folklore narratives. The study employs a correlational research design to analyze the associations between folklore-implemented teaching and the enhancement of various language skills. Utilizing qualitative and quantitative data collection methods, including questionnaire, observations, and literature study, the research seeks to discern patterns and correlations that elucidate the potential benefits of integrating folklore into the EFL curriculum. The findings contribute valuable insights into the effectiveness of folklore-based instruction in cultivating not only linguistic proficiency but also cultural awareness among EFL learners, where from data processing, sig 0.039 < 0.05 means reject Ho, thus it can be understood that there is a significant correlation or relationship between the folklore-implemented and student English skills in integrated learning. The results may inform instructional practices and curriculum design, providing a foundation for the integration of folklore as a pedagogical tool to enhance the integrated language skills of EFL students. Ultimately, the study contributes to the ongoing discourse on innovative and culturally relevant approaches to language education, aiming to advance the quality and efficacy of English language instruction for diverse learner populations.

Abstract

This study examines the Legend of Lake Tondano as an instrument of ecological literacy in the context of sustainable tourism through Greg Garrard's ecocritical approach, specifically the concept of eco-warning. The modern tourism industry often exploits local narratives for commercial purposes without considering the substantive environmental messages they convey. This phenomenon creates a gap between the idealistic narrative promoted to tourists and the reality of ecological degradation experienced by Lake Tondano, including silt deposition, water hyacinth growth, and declining water quality. This study aims to analyze the dimensions of ecological warning in the legend and explore its potential as a medium for critical reflection on environmental conditions. Using descriptive qualitative methods with close reading techniques, this study identifies narrative units containing representations of ecological warning based on Garrard's theoretical framework. The analysis focuses on three main aspects: apocalyptic rhetoric, the concept of wilderness, and representations of human-nature relationships. This study proposes a reinterpretation of the legend as an instrument of ecological literacy that emphasizes ecologically conscious tourism, the development of thematic tourism routes that connect past apocalyptic events with present-day ecological challenges, and infrastructure policies that respect the active role of nature.
