Abstract

This research was carried out to discover the effectiveness of using the paragraph shrinking strategy in improving students' reading comprehension, specifically in understanding general information, detailed information, reference, and vocabulary. The method of this was quasi-experimental design research. The population of this research was 224 students in the first grade of a junior high school. The results showed that students' average scores on general information increased from 410 in the pretest to 565 in the posttest. Likewise, their score of detailed information increased from 430 in the pretest became 605 in the posttest. Then, the students’ reference average score increased from 590 in the pretest become 610 in the posttest. Last, their vocabulary average score increased from 600 in the pretest to 630 in the posttest. Based on the results of the t-test, the df value was 29, and the deT value was 16.370. Based on the SPSS output of the table, the Sig. (2-tailed) had a p-value = 0.00, meaning that the p-value was <0.05. The researchers found that the null hypothesis (H0) was rejected. In conclusion, there is a significant improvement in students' reading comprehension after learning using the paragraph shrinking strategy.

Abstract

The Peutrön Aneuk tradition is a life cycle ritual of the Acehnese people that is still maintained today as a form of gratitude for the birth of a child and a medium for passing on cultural values. Previous studies on Peutrön Aneuk generally focus on historical aspects, stages of implementation, social functions, and the religious values ​​contained within it. However, studies that view this ritual as a linguistic practice from an anthropolinguistic perspective are still relatively limited. In fact, each stage of the ritual is constructed through the use of language, traditional speech, prayers, advice, and cultural lexicons that represent the knowledge system of the Acehnese people. This study aims to analyze how language functions as a cultural practice in the Peutrön Aneuk tradition and explain the role of this linguistic practice in reproducing the cultural identity of the Acehnese people. The study uses a qualitative approach with an anthropolinguistic perspective. The analytical framework combines Alessandro Duranti's theory of language practice, Clifford Geertz's interpretive anthropology, and Stuart Hall's concept of cultural identity. The results of this study indicate that language in the Peutrön Aneuk ritual functions not only as a means of communication, but also as a medium for transmitting values, legitimizing customs, forming social relations, and reproducing cultural identity. Ritual utterances, prayers, advice, and the lexicon of Acehnese culture form a system of meaning that connects individuals to the community, customs, and Islamic teachings. Thus, Peutrön Aneuk can be understood as an anthropolinguistic arena where language, symbols, and cultural practices interact to maintain the continuity of the cultural identity of the Acehnese people amidst the dynamics of social change.
