Abstract

This study aimed to explore the concepts of inner beauty reflected in the protagonist of Big Girl, a novel by Danielle Steel. The main character, Victoria Dawson, was portrayed as an intelligent, loyal, and optimistic woman who often faced rejection from her parents due to her physical appearance. This research used a qualitative approach with descriptive analysis based on selected excerpts from the novel. The findings showed that Victoria’s true beauty was expressed through her persistence in pursuing education, her loyalty in relationships, and her optimism in achieving her dream of becoming a teacher. This study emphasized that inner beauty was more meaningful than physical appearance, and Victoria’s character served as a strong representation of moral values and the strength of women in overcoming social and familial pressures.

Abstract

This study explores how English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners use TikTok to improve their pronunciation and speaking fluency. Recognizing the growing influence of social media in education, the research investigates the ways in which students integrate TikTok into their language learning practices. A descriptive qualitative design was employed to capture students’ lived experiences. Nine undergraduate students from AMIK ITMI Medan participated in semi-structured interviews and shared their TikTok-based speaking activities. Data were analyzed thematically to identify recurring patterns and insights. The findings reveal that TikTok serves as a practical and engaging tool for developing oral skills. Students used short video features to imitate native speakers, repeat expressions, and refine their pronunciation through multiple recordings. The process also improved their fluency as repeated performance reduced hesitation and increased speech confidence. Moreover, the platform’s interactive and entertaining nature fostered motivation, enjoyment, and a sense of achievement. Despite these benefits, some challenges were noted, including distractions from non-academic content, the use of informal language, and technical barriers. In conclusion, the study demonstrates that TikTok can function as an effective supplementary platform for EFL speaking practice. It provides authentic exposure, encourages self-directed learning, and enhances motivation in a low-pressure environment. The results suggest that teachers should guide students in purposeful use of TikTok, balancing creativity with structured learning objectives to maximize its pedagogical value.

Abstract

ntroduction: Traditional postpartum care practices remain an integral aspect of maternal and child health in indigenous communities. Mararang tradition is a postpartum care tradition that continues to be widely practiced among Batak postpartum mothers, as it is believed to accelerate maternal and infant recovery through heat therapy. . This study aims to examine the historical evolution of the mararang tradition, its cultural significance, and its implications for maternal and infant health. Methods: A qualitative phenomenological approach was employed to explore the experiences of postpartum mothers practicing the mararang tradition. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with postpartum mothers, their husbands, traditional leaders, and healthcare providers in North Sumatra Province. Source triangulation, methodological triangulation, and data analysis were applied in this research. Thematic and content analyses were conducted to explore key dimensions of health beliefs, communication, and the transformation of the mararang tradition over time. Results: Participants ascribed thermal balance, comfort, and social support to mararang, while acknowledging potential risks from heat and smoke. Communication between families and midwives produced adaptive forms (e.g., moderated heat, improved ventilation, time?limited sessions), balancing cultural continuity with safety. We synthesise a conceptual model showing how explanatory beliefs, family authority, and professional guidance co?produce negotiated care. Conclusion: Mararang persists through culturally safe adaptations facilitated by respectful dialogue; practical safeguards (distance from heat source, ventilation, exclusion post?caesarean) can be embedded within routine postpartum care. Programmes should integrate culturally anchored counselling and risk?mitigation protocols, enabling context?sensitive maternal and newborn care.
