Abstract

The primary objective of this study is to investigate the impact and variations associated with the utilisation of the make a match strategy on the reading comprehension abilities of pupils. The present work employs a quantitative approach and adopts a quasi-experimental methodology. The research was carried out using two distinct groups, specifically the experimental group and the control group. The participants in this study consisted of students from class VIII A and VIII B of SMP Negeri 20 Kabupaten Tebo. The participants in this study consisted of a total of 34 students, with 17 students assigned to the experimental class and another 17 students assigned to the control class. The average findings obtained from both courses were subjected to statistical analysis using a T-test, with a significance level of α = 0.05. This phenomenon is observable in both the paired sample T-test and the independent sample T-test. The findings indicate that the mean reading comprehension score of students who received instruction using the make a match technique was 1.175. This result aligns with the hypothesis criteria, which states that a score below 5% would be considered low. A significance level of 0.05 indicates that the alternative hypothesis (Ha) is accepted. Therefore, it can be inferred that the implementation of the make a match strategy has a notable impact on the development of students' learning abilities. In the interim, the outcomes of the independent sample t-test indicated a mean difference of 4.824 and a two-tailed significance level of 0.05 (1.175 ≤ 0.05). Based on the aforementioned description, the null hypothesis (Ho) is rejected, whereas the alternative hypothesis (Ha) is accepted. This indicates a notable disparity in the application of the make a match strategy between the experimental group and the control group in relation to the enhancement of students' reading proficiency at SMP Negeri 20 Kabupaten Tebo.

Abstract

Duano language in Sabak and Tungkal is included into the extinct language category. One way to avoid language extinction is through language revitalization or language documentation. The purpose of this research is to ascertain and explain the proto language and the kinship of Duano tribe in Sabak and Tungkal through dialectology. Then, language documentation is carried out to look at all related aspects from cognate to morpheme positioning. The writers used Proto Malayic from Adelaar (1992) as IPD instrument, The data sources are Duano language from Sabak and Tungkal regencies spoken by 10 respondents. This is a qualitative study. The data were collected through interview, note-taking, recording, and documentation. Then, they were analyzed comparatively. This research found 920 zero data, 510 lexical differences data, 1210 cognate, and 570 phonological differences data. This showed that almost 50% of the data has zero difference, which means they have the same vocabulary. Then, phonological difference is 7.01% indicating that the two languages are different Speech. Meanwhile, lexical difference is 35.29% implying that the two are different subdialects, The relationship between the two regions is very close., the number of vocabularies that belong to vocabulary shift was higher than the vocabulary maintenance. This means that language extinction is very high, especially in the Tungkal area.
