<![CDATA[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.]]>

<![CDATA[Language plays an important role in shaping character development in literary works, particularly in portraying women’s voices within specific social contexts. This study aims to analyze how illocutionary acts reflect the character development of the four March sisters Jo, Meg, Beth, and Amy in Louisa May Alcott’s The Little Women. This research employs a qualitative descriptive method with a pragmatic approach, focusing on speech act theory proposed by Searle. The data source of this study is the novel The Little Women, specifically the utterances produced by the four main female characters. Data were collected through documentation techniques, involving careful reading, identifying, and classifying utterances that contain illocutionary acts. The data were analyzed by categorizing the utterances into types of illocutionary acts and interpreting their functions in relation to character development and 19th-century social context. The findings reveal that each character demonstrates distinct dominant illocutionary acts that reflect her personality and personal growth. Jo frequently uses assertive and directive acts, indicating her independence and resistance to gender norms, while Meg’s speech shows internal conflict between desire and social expectations. Beth’s expressive acts reflect her gentle and selfless nature, whereas Amy’s assertive acts illustrate her ambition and maturity. These results show that illocutionary acts significantly contribute to character development in the novel. This study implies that speech act analysis can enhance literary interpretation and support the teaching of pragmatics through literary texts.]]>
