Abstract

Deixis is a linguistic phenomenon in which the interpretation of certain words or phrases depends on contextual information, such as the identity of the speaker and listener, time and place of the utterance, social relationships, and the structure of the discourse. It plays a crucial role in understanding meaning, especially in learning English as a foreign language, where contextual awareness is essential for comprehension. This research aims to analyze the types and frequency of deixis found in the Koran, specifically in Surah Al-Baqarah verses 183–185. The study employs a descriptive qualitative method, focusing on a detailed analysis of the verses to identify the deixis expressions used. The findings reveal that four types of deixis are present: personal deixis, temporal deixis, discourse deixis, and social deixis. A total of 62 deixis expressions were identified, consisting of 21 personal deixis, 4 temporal deixis, 27 discourse deixis, and 10 social deixis. Among these, discourse deixis is the most frequently used, indicating the importance of textual reference and coherence in the verses analyzed. This suggests that the Koranic discourse in these verses emphasizes the continuity and interconnectedness of messages through the use of discourse markers and referential expressions. The study contributes to a deeper understanding of how deixis operates in religious texts and offers valuable insights for language learners, translators, and scholars interested in the pragmatic and semantic aspects of sacred discourse. It also highlights the importance of contextual interpretation in grasping the intended meanings of divine communication.

Abstract

In teaching and learning process, many students found difficulties in learning English. One of the difficulties was their lack of reading comprehension. Furthermore, the students have problem in reading comprehension to transfer information from the text and students’ motivation in reading text is still low. In addition the technique that was used by the teacher to teach students was monotonous, that it made students felt bored to join the English lesson. It was supported by the students’ reading score, that 74.42 % of students got < 70 score. For that reason, approaches are important to support success in teaching learning process to improve the students’ reading comprehension. The approaches are reading aloud and silent reading. Based on the opinion, the objective of this research is to find out whether there is a significant difference in students’ reading comprehension between those who are taught through reading aloud and those who are taught through silent reading. In this research, the researcher used causal comparative study method where there was one step in collecting the data; it was post test. The population of this research was the eighth grade of MTs PEMNU Talangpadang Tanggamus and the sample as chosen by doing cluster random sampling. Two classes were chosen as experimental class and control class. Experimental class was given treatment by using reading aloud and control class was given treatment by using silent reading. The researcher conducted five meetings in each class during the research, including four treatments and one post-test that was given to the students at the last meeting. The result of this research showing that there is a significant different of students’ reading comprehension between those who are taught through reading aloud and those who are taught through silent reading at the eighth grade of MTs PEMNU Talangpadang Tanggamus. It is proved by the result of statistical calculation using t-test formula. It is obtained that T-observed was 3.55, while the critical value of T-critical at degree of significance 5% and df = 54 was 2.00. Because T-observed is higher than T-critical value, it means the use of reading aloud and silent reading had significant difference in students’ reading comprehension.
