Abstract

This research aims to present an in-depth study of the role of children's literature as a medium for internalizing cultural values and exploring social issues. The aspects discussed in this research are obtained from library research on related research, then presented with descriptive analytical methods. Based on the results of the study, it can be concluded that children's literature with the mission of dulce et utile (entertaining and useful) plays an important role in the practice of character education, introducing cultural values, and sharpening sensitivity to social issues. The interaction between children and children's literature usually requires the role of adults as facilitators of literary works, especially in the pre-literacy phase which does not allow children to read literacy symbols independently. The practical implications that need to be considered by parents and teachers relate to four major classifications, namely considering the relevance of the work to the child's condition; adjusting the formulation of language content to the language skills of children/learners; using illustrations/intonation in the delivery of literary works (especially for children/learners who are not yet able to read independently); and providing direct assistance when children/learners interact with literary works. The mission of literature as an evocator of human consciousness (especially children, in this context) requires collaboration from various parties. Parents, educators, children's literature writers, and even the government as policy makers need to play an active role and realize the urgency of implementing children's literature in their learning.

The aim of this research is to analyze the representation of nature in the lyrics of the Sonic/Panic album as one of the concrete steps in addressing the ecological crisis. This research employs a qualitative approach using a descriptive method. The approach employed in this study is ecocriticism, based on Greg Garrard’s framework. The object of this research is the song lyrics in the Sonic/Panic album that depict nature. Data collection was conducted through documentary analysis, with the researcher serving as the primary instrument in the study.

The results of this research emphasize that the lyrics in the Sonic/Panic album are not merely aesthetic expressions but also serve as messages and expressions from the authors regarding the increasingly alarming state of the environment. It is hoped that this research can serve as a reflection on and advocacy for ecological damage and raise awareness of environmental issues with.
