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 second language acquisition (SLA) in children with Toba Batak as their first language, focusing on challenges in phonology, syntax, and vocabulary. Pronouncing phonemes that are lacking in Toba Batak, including /f/ and /v/, and translating Toba Batak grammatical patterns to English or Indonesian are two major linguistic challenges. SLA development is greatly impacted by social and cultural elements, such as a strong attachment to the Toba Batak identity and little exposure to second-language contexts. The study emphasizes the value of striking a balance between language instruction and cultural preservation while highlighting the significance that early exposure and a multilingual setting have in promoting SLA. Longitudinal research and improved language regulations are among the suggestions made to encourage bilingualism without undermining cultural identity.

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.
