Abstract

This study explores the development of localized digital teaching materials using animated Pak-Pak folklore, reframed through a discourse analysis perspective. While the current research focuses on the pedagogical benefits of animation in enhancing students understanding and engagement with local culture, this paper extends the discussion by analyzing the discursive elements embedded in storytelling, teacher narration, and student interpretation. Using qualitative methodsliterature analysis, classroom observation, interviews, and student responsesthe study examines how folklore as discourse transmits cultural values, shapes identity, and promotes moral reasoning in eighth-grade classrooms. Results indicate that animation enhances comprehension of narrative elements, such as setting, characters, and values. More importantly, students engage in reflective discussions where values like courage, honesty, and cooperation are expressed and negotiated in their own language. Teachers also act as discourse mediators, framing cultural messages through narration and prompting. The study shows that discourse, visual storytelling, and interactivity work together to turn folklore into a living cultural experience rather than static heritage. Despite challenges such as limited teacher digital skills and infrastructure gaps, the findings highlight the promise of integrating discourse-sensitive animated materials into the Merdeka Curriculum. Future research is recommended to explore how localized narratives in digital formats influence language use, value expression, and cultural identity formation in various Indonesian classrooms. This approach contributes to both educational media development and critical discourse studies by bridging visual literacy, cultural storytelling, and classroom interaction.

Abstract

The organ in the human body that controls all movements and functions, including language, is the brain. The cerebrum, especially the left hemisphere, is crucial for language activities. The human left brain is a domain that functions as a place of concentration and as a regulator and controller of language abilities. The left hemisphere also appears to be involved in sign language processing, similar to how it is involved in non-signers. The right brain is also involved in complex ways but differently for sign language users. Studies on brain and language continue to develop and have shown significant progress. However, findings sometimes appear inconsistent, particularly regarding the involvement of the right brain in language. Many studies suggest that the second language can sometimes be located in the right brain, though this is not always the case. There may be variables that determine the brain's language localization, but these have not yet been fully identified. One factor may be the age at which the second language is learned, as well as the unique growth and development of each individual.
