Abstract

This study examines the differences and similarities in prepositional patterns between Batak Toba and English languages through a contrastive analysis of narrative texts. The phenomenon in focus is the variation in preposition usage between these two languages, which often poses difficulties for native Batak Toba speakers learning English. The objective of this research is to identify and compare prepositional patterns in both languages and analyzes their implications for English language learning among Batak Toba speakers. The method employed is a qualitative contrastive analysis with a descriptive approach. Data was obtained from three pairs of equivalent narrative texts in English and Batak Toba. The results reveal significant differences in the use of spatial and temporal prepositions, as well as some similarities in prepositions indicating abstract relationships. The main difference lies in the greater number and variety of prepositions in English, while Batak Toba tends to use simpler and more limited prepositions. The implications of this research provide valuable insights for developing effective English language learning strategies for Batak Toba speakers, considering positive and negative transfer between the two languages.

Abstract

This research aims to examine the utilization of the "Marsikam" folktale as historical learning material in fostering unity and cooperation values among students. The "Marsikam" folktale was chosen because it contains moral messages and noble values relevant to the social life context of society, particularly unity and cooperation values. The research method used is qualitative with a literature study approach and content analysis. Data were obtained from the "Marsikam" script and secondary sources related to historical learning and character education. The research results show that the "Marsikam" story can be integrated into historical learning material as an effective learning medium to instill unity and cooperation values. Through analysis of characters, plot, and conflict in the story, students can understand the importance of solidarity, tolerance, and collaboration in facing social challenges. The implementation of the "Marsikam" story in historical learning can also increase active student engagement and build awareness of the importance of maintaining unity in diversity. This research recommends the use of folktales as an alternative creative and contextual learning material to strengthen character education in schools.
