Abstract

This study investigated the role of background knowledge or schema in reading comprehension of the EFL students. Based on schema theory, comprehending a text is an interactive process between the reader’s background knowledge and the text. Therefore, to understand the text better, the reader should has enough background knowledge. This study focuses on three pre-reading strategies: pre-teaching new vocabularies, pictorial context, and pre-reading questioning. Participants were 46 students in two groups: experimental and control class. Before the treatment, in order to assess their knowledge of reading comprehension, a pre-test was given in both groups. During the treatment, experimental group received pre-reading strategies before reading the text, but control group did not. In analysing the data, independent t-test was used. The result indicated that there is significant difference between students who are exposed to pre-reading strategies and those who did not. DOI: 10.26905/enjourme.v4i2.3954

Abstract

Desa Mulyorejo Kecamatan Ngantang merupakan satu dari 13 desa wisata yang dikembangan di Kabupaten Malang. Desa ini memiliki potensi wisata yang tinggi diantaranya view alam yang sangat indah dan lokasinya berdekatan dengan destinasi wisata yang sudah tekenal sebelumnya yaitu Bendungan Selorejo. Terlebih lagi, posisi Desa Mulyorejo terletak pada jalur utama yang menghubungkan Malang dengan kota-kota lain seperti Kediri, Jombang, dan sebagainya, serta merupakan tempat transit baik turis lokal maupun asing. Namun demikian, karena rendahnya tingkat pendidikan termasuk kemampuan berbahasa Inggris, masyarakat belum bisa mengoptimalkan Desa Mulyorejo sebagai desa wisata. Tujuan dari Program Pengembangan Desa Mitra (PPDM) ini adalah untuk memberikan kesadaran kepada pemuda karang taruna akan pentingnya pendidikan terutama Bahasa Inggris dan memberikan pelatihan English for Guiding kepada tiga kelompok karang taruna. Metode pelaksanaan program ini mengadaptasi pola pelaksanaan penelitian tindakan (action research) yang terdiri dari empat tahapan yaitu persiapan, pelaksanaan, observasi, dan refleksi. Hasil dari program PPDM ini adalah masyarakat lebih sadar pentingnya pendidikan dan kepariwisataan dalam mengembangkan desa wisata Mulyorejo serta 77,78% anggota karang taruna yang diberi pelatihan English for Guiding bisa menyapa turis dan menjelaskan lokasi wisata di Desa Mulyorejo dalam Bahasa Inggris.

Abstract

This study presents a focused character analysis of Heaven Official’s Blessing (book 1) by MXTX, a novel set in a fantastical world inspired by Chinese mythology. The narrative centers around Xie Lian, a former crown prince who ascends to become a martial god. The analysis aims to deepen understanding of the character types within the novel as it has only few prior academic studies conducted. By categorizing and examining these character types, the study reveals how each character functions within the story, enriching readers' comprehension of their roles. Character types are divided into two categories: major characters and minor characters. Major characters include the protagonist (Xie Lian), antagonist (Xuan Ji and Kemo), and tritagonist (Fu Yao and Nan Feng). Minor characters include foil (Pei Xiu), static (Ling Wen), dynamic (Pei Ming, Feng Xin, Mu Qing), flat (Tian Sheng, Xiao-Pengtou, Xiao-Ying), round (A-Zhao, Banyue), and stock (Wind Master, Jun Wu). This study has limitations as it focuses solely on character types in Book 1, though the novel spans eight books, leaving many characters and literary elements unexplored. Future studies should fill these gaps with comparative analyses, exploring cultural influences, applying diverse literary theories, and using multidisciplinary approaches.
