Abstract

This study analyzes verb usage in ten Bible character stories designed for Sunday school children, with a specific focus on how various types of verbs contribute to narrative structure and character portrayal. Utilizing a qualitative research design, the study categorizes verbs into four types: transitive, intransitive, inchoative, and stative (e.g., "be"), and examines their distribution and narrative impact. The analysis reveals that intransitive verbs dominate, accounting for 55% of verb usage, thereby highlighting actions as independent events that emphasize the characters' journeys and experiences. Transitive verbs, which comprise 40% of the total usage, underscore interactions and relationships, reinforcing themes of obedience and purposeful action. The limited presence of inchoative and stative verbs suggests a reduced focus on state changes or existential reflections, thereby steering the narrative towards dynamic portrayals of the characters' faith journeys. Overall, this research provides valuable insights into how verb choices shape the storytelling experience and enhance the educational value of biblical narratives for children.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to identify the word formations utilized in the Jakarta Post newspaper's healthy article. The purpose of this study is to examine word construction in a January 12, 2011, Jakarta Post article. The author comes to the conclusion that the way words are formed can alter their meaning as well as their part of speech. Word formation serves as an extra internal structure that modifies the word's meaning in addition to its part of speech. In order to investigate the phenomenon of word development, data is gathered from a variety of scholarly sources using a descriptive qualitative approach with library research. This study sheds light on how word formation, specifically in the examined articles, can affect shifts in meaning and word classes in the setting of mass media.

Findings suggest that media use significantly enhances listening skills by providing real-life contexts, engaging learners, and catering to different learning styles. The study highlights the importance of media selection and its alignment with curriculum objectives to optimize learning outcomes.

Abstract

This study presents a socialization activity that introduced the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) to 11th-grade students in the TKJ program at SMK Nusantara Tanah Jawa. This initiative aimed to raise awareness of the TOEFL test format, its importance, and its relevance to academic and career development. A qualitative descriptive approach was used, involving 16 students through a structured program consisting of preparation, implementation, and evaluation stages. Findings indicated that most students were initially unfamiliar with the TOEFL, especially the listening component. However, this socialization activity effectively increased students' understanding and interest in English learning, especially in the listening section. Challenges such as low prior knowledge and limited engagement were addressed through simplified explanations and interactive sessions. Overall, the activity contributed positively to improving students' English language competence and motivation, preparing them to understand the TOEFL listening section for global academic and professional demands.
