Abstract

This study aims to analyze the speech difficulties experienced by five-year-old children in pronouncing difficult words in English. Focusing on a child named M.B. from Pematangsiantar, this study explores various factors that influence his English pronunciation ability. Qualitative research methods were used to explore data from observations and interviews, which showed that environmental factors, phonological ability, and self-confidence play an important role in the language acquisition process. The results showed that M.B. had difficulty in pronouncing English sounds that did not exist in his mother tongue, as well as a lack of exposure to English in everyday life. This study provides insight into the challenges faced by children in learning a second language and the importance of environmental support in the language acquisition process.

Abstract

Studi ini menyelidiki sikap siswa terhadap penerapan Kurikulum Merdeka di sekolah menengah atas di Pematangsiantar. Kurikulum Merdeka, yang diperkenalkan sebagai bagian dari reformasi pendidikan Indonesia, menekankan pembelajaran yang berpusat pada siswa dan pengembangan pemikiran kritis, kreativitas, dan keterampilan praktis. Dengan menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif, data dikumpulkan melalui kuesioner terstruktur dengan 50 peserta, dengan fokus pada tiga komponen sikap: kognitif, afektif, dan psikomotorik. Temuan tersebut mengungkapkan bahwa 61% siswa menunjukkan sikap kognitif yang positif, yang menunjukkan bahwa kurikulum membantu pemahaman mereka terhadap pelajaran. Komponen afektif mencatat 65,6% tanggapan positif, yang mencerminkan peningkatan motivasi dan minat pada topik yang relevan, sementara 64,8% siswa menanggapi secara positif dalam ranah psikomotorik, yang menunjukkan peningkatan keterlibatan dalam kegiatan praktik. Namun, tantangan seperti manajemen waktu, tanggung jawab, dan keterbatasan sumber daya dicatat. Studi tersebut menyimpulkan bahwa meskipun Kurikulum Merdeka menumbuhkan sikap yang sebagian besar positif di antara siswa, mengatasi tantangan ini sangat penting untuk memaksimalkan potensinya. Penelitian ini memberikan kontribusi terhadap wacana reformasi pendidikan di Indonesia dan menyoroti pentingnya strategi yang disesuaikan untuk meningkatkan implementasi kurikulum.

Abstract

This study investigates the types of presupposition found in the animated series How to Train Your Dragon: Race to the Edge, using George Yule’s (1996) classification as a theoretical framework. Understanding presupposition—implied meaning that underlies spoken or written expressions—is essential to developing pragmatic competence in language. Through a descriptive qualitative method, this research identifies and categorizes presuppositional triggers in the film’s dialogues, aiming to reveal how implicit meanings contribute to the narrative and character development. A total of 28 utterances containing presuppositions were analyzed, and all six types identified by Yule were found: existential, factive, lexical, structural, non-factive, and counterfactual. Among these, existential presuppositions were the most frequently occurring, representing 25% of the data. Factive, lexical, and structural presuppositions followed, each comprising 17.8%, while non-factive and counterfactual presuppositions were the least common, each at 10.7%. These results highlight the significant presence of presuppositional meaning in animated film dialogue, indicating that such media can be rich sources for examining pragmatic elements in language use. The findings suggest that presupposition not only enriches character interaction and emotional depth but also supports narrative cohesion. This research emphasizes the pedagogical potential of animated content in teaching pragmatic concepts and encourages further exploration of presupposition across different genres, audiences, and communicative contexts.

Abstract

This study aims to socialize the importance and benefits of the TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) to the eleventh-grade students of SMA Negeri 1 Pematangsiantar. TOEFL is an internationally recognized English proficiency test that assesses four language skills: Listening, Reading, Speaking, and Writing. Among these, the Reading skill is crucial because it measures the ability to understand academic texts, identify main ideas, make inferences, and analyze information. These skills are important for students to succeed in academic environments and improve their overall English proficiency. The socialization program was conducted through seminars and interactive discussions involving 35 students at SMA Negeri 1 Pematangsiantar. The program provided information about the TOEFL test format, benefits, and preparation strategies, with special emphasis on improving reading comprehension skills. Data were collected through observations and questionnaires to evaluate participants’ understanding and motivation. Results indicated that students increased their awareness of TOEFL and the significance of the Reading section. However, challenges such as limited learning resources and insufficient practice opportunities were identified. The study recommends the integration of multimedia tools and continuous guidance to help students enhance their TOEFL reading skills. This program underlines the importance of TOEFL socialization in schools to prepare students for global academic challenges.
