Abstract

The extensive incorporation of digital media in children's lives has greatly affected their reading patterns and literacy growth. This research examines how digital media impacts the evolution of reading abilities in early childhood. It looks into the benefits and obstacles that digital tools present in promoting literacy. Using a mixed-methods strategy, information was collected via surveys, interviews, and observations involving children aged 6-12, along with their parents and educators. Results indicate that although digital media provides engaging and interactive literacy experiences, too much dependence may weaken conventional reading habits. The study highlights the importance of a balanced method for incorporating digital media and nurturing a robust reading environment.

Abstract

Proverbs that represent their values and perspective are part of the rich cultural legacy of the Batak people of North Sumatra, Indonesia. "Dalihan Natolu" (translates as "The Three Hearth Stones") is one such proverb. This proverb is an important part of Batak social structure and values, which makes it a valuable topic for linguistic study. The "Dalihan Natolu" proverb is examined in this study using the Systemic Functional Grammar (SFG) theoretical paradigm. SFG is a linguistic approach that examines the ways in which language is employed to create meaning and depict the outside world. We can learn more about the grammatical and semantic elements of the "Dalihan Natolu" proverb that contribute to its cultural importance by using SFG to analyze it. The ideational, interpersonal, and textual meta functions of SFG are the three main areas of analysis. The proverb's representation of experiences and construction of reality are examined by the ideational meta function. The interpersonal meta function looks at how the proverb conveys the speaker's position and enacts social interactions. The textual meta function looks at the proverb's method of arranging ideas to create a logical and cohesive message. The study's goal is to identify the language structures and patterns that underlie the cultural significance and symbolic force of the "Dalihan Natolu" adage through this in-depth investigation. Understanding the proverb from the standpoint of Systemic Functional Grammar helps us to better grasp the richness and complexity of Batak cultural expression as well as its applicability in the contemporary era. The results of this work advance the field of linguistic analysis of cultural artefacts and the academic understanding of Batak language and culture. In light of the swift advancements in social and technological spheres, the knowledge acquired can also contribute to the preservation and promotion of Batak cultural heritage.

Abstract

This community service activity aimed to enhance the reading comprehension skills of 12th-grade students at SMK Negeri 1 Jorlang Hataran by introducing effective strategies and tips for success in the TOEFL Reading section. Recognizing that many students struggle with reading comprehension due to limited exposure to academic English and test-oriented strategies, this program provided targeted training focused on active reading techniques, vocabulary building, and identifying main ideas and supporting details. The activity was conducted through interactive workshops that included reading practice, discussions, and explanatory sessions. A qualitative approach was used to gather data, including observations, comprehension tests, and student questionnaires. Results indicate that students showed increased understanding of TOEFL question types, improved ability to identify key information in texts, and greater confidence in managing time during reading tasks. The feedback also reflected a positive change in student attitudes toward English reading, emphasizing the importance of early preparation and exposure to standardized testing formats. This initiative demonstrates that strategic socialization of reading techniques can significantly impact students' comprehension and test readiness. It also highlights the importance of equipping students with not only language proficiency but also the test-taking skills necessary for academic advancement. Future programs are encouraged to expand this approach to other sections of the TOEFL and provide continuous support for students’ English development.
