Abstract

This study aims to identify what local literature of Banggai coastal culture is appropriate as English reading materials for junior high school students to enhance their cultural awareness. This study employs content analysis. The data sources are two books about Banggai folktales written in English. The data are collected by applying note-taking techniques. The instruments used to gather the data include the researchers as the primary data collectors and analysts, a rubric of analytical constructs as a guide for collecting relevant data, and datasheets as the media for recording the data. The data, then, are analyzed both quantitatively and qualitatively. Inter-coder agreement (peer debriefing) is used to maintain the trustworthiness of the study. This study finds that Banggai folktales are predominantly characterized by cultural aspects, including behaviors (35%) and norms (31%). However, readability analysis reveals that more than half of the twenty-seven texts fell into the uneven (55.5%) and invalid (26%) categories, and only a few texts, such as "The Legend of Lemelu Lake" and "The Legend of Tendetung Lake," are at an appropriate level for grade 7. This study is limited to text analysis without classroom application. The study concludes that Banggai folktales hold promise as alternative EFL reading materials, given that teachers adapt the texts to balance cultural richness with readability.

Abstract

Folktale has considerable potential as English reading material, not only for fostering students’ cultural awareness but also for developing their critical literacy. In the current digital era, students are exposed to massive amounts of information that cannot be fully controlled, making critical literacy an essential skill. A critical lens enables students to analyze texts and information thoughtfully before forming judgments or taking action. This study, then, intended to analyze the potential Banggai folktales as English reading materials for developing students’ critical literacy. It applied a qualitative content analysis. The source of the data was Banggai folktales texts written in English. The researchers play vital roles as the main instrument for collecting and analyzing the data. The four dimensions of critical literacy—disrupting the commonplace, interrogating multiple viewpoints, focusing on sociopolitical issues, and taking action and promoting social justice— were used as the analytical framework. Peer debriefing was conducted to maintain the trustworthiness of the study. The results indicate that three Banggai folktales can effectively engage students across all four dimensions of critical literacy. To sum up, Banggai folktales have strong potential as alternative English reading materials to develop students’ critical literacy and encourage them to critically engage with complex and problematic social issues.
