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

This study examines the use of media in language teaching to enhance students' listening skills within the framework of the Merdeka Curriculum. Listening is a fundamental skill in language acquisition, yet many students face challenges due to limited exposure to authentic listening materials. The integration of media such as audio recordings, podcasts, and interactive applications provides an immersive learning experience that fosters comprehension. This research employs a library research method, analyzing expert opinions and previous studies on the topic. 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.
