Abstract

This article investigates how the plot twist in Lloyd F. Loux’s A Clever Catch is done through foreshadowing. The action of foreshadowing is to introduce subconscious clues to the audience without spoiling the result. Loux’s story is about a man who has an obsession with a thief woman and intends to catch her. At last, he succeeds in catching the thief and brings her before the magistrate, but then the magistrate does not punish her but gives best wishes to both of them. Through qualitative method and explorative approach, this paper underlines that the plot twist is preceded by the senses of law, starting from the thief, the accusation, the man as the detective, and the magistrate. At last, the punishment is not severe, but happy since all of the symbols eventually indicate a man who goes after a woman he loves. In conclusion, the foreshadowing in Loux’s story brings suspense and anxiety to the audience which then later presents a grateful happy ending as the plot twist.

Abstract

This community service activity aims to enhance students’ literacy skills through the implementation of the Reading Aloud method for elementary school pupils at SDN Kapasari I, conducted by lecturers and students of Universitas Dr. Soetomo. The program was designed to foster students’ reading interest and fluency in English by engaging them in expressive reading activities. The implementation consisted of three stages: initial assessment, service delivery, and evaluation. Documentation techniques were used to collect data throughout the process. Approximately fifty students participated actively in the program. They were encouraged to read selected fables both aloud and silently, record their performances, and present them before their peers. The results showed that the Reading Aloud activity effectively increased students’ motivation, confidence, and fluency in reading English texts. In conclusion, this community service project successfully contributed to improving elementary students’ literacy competence and confidence in public reading performance.

Abstract

This study explores the role of cultural appeals in shaping persuasive communication in audio and video media. Cultural appeals refer to the use of shared values, beliefs, traditions, and social norms to influence audience perception and behavior. Grounded in communication and cultural studies, this research explores how cultural references are embedded in both audio formats, such as podcasts and radio, and video formats, including advertisements and digital media content. In audio media, cultural appeals are often conveyed through language choice, storytelling, accents, and culturally specific narratives that resonate with listeners’ identities and experiences. In contrast, video media incorporate visual symbols, settings, clothing, and gestures that more explicitly represent cultural contexts and enhance audience recognition. Using a comparative analytical approach, this study evaluates selected audio and video samples to identify how cultural elements are emphasized and interpreted across different media. The findings suggest that while both formats effectively employ cultural appeals, video media provide a more immediate and vivid representation of cultural identity, whereas audio fosters deeper personal interpretation and imagination. In conclusion, this study contributes to the understanding of persuasive communication by highlighting the importance of cultural sensitivity and relevance, offering practical insights for content creators aiming to engage diverse audiences effectively.
