Abstract

This study aims to determine and describe the comparison before and after the implementation of Project-Based Learning (PjBL) on the French reading comprehension abilities of students in the French Education Study Program, measured by reading level indicators equivalent to the B2 level in the CEFR. The method used is quantitative, with a quasi-experimental research design. The population consisted of all students in this study program, totaling 186 students in the odd semester of the 2023/2024 Academic Year. The sample was selected through purposive sampling, comprising 20 students at the B2 level. The highest score obtained during the pretest was 77.5, while the highest posttest score was 75. The average student score during the pretest was 54, but it dropped to 50 in the posttest. The t-test results showed a 2-tailed significance value of more than 0.05, indicating no significant influence on the ability to understand French text after implementing PjBL. Based on the questionnaire, students reported increased motivation to read French texts, better understanding of sentences, and improved ability to find the main idea. They also noted enhancements in teamwork, creativity, and critical thinking, although they still required guidance from lecturers. Despite the positive reception and impact of the PjBL model on learning, there was no significant effect on students' French reading comprehension abilities after its implementation. Further research should investigate the factors that influence students' reading comprehension results.

Abstract

This study explores students’ reception of La Parure, an ironic short story by Guy de Maupassant, focusing on how they interpret its themes, characters, and moral messages. Employing a reception theory framework, the research analyses responses from students with diverse cultural and academic backgrounds. Data were collected through questionnaires, interviews, and textual analysis to understand how readers perceive the story’s critique of social class, materialism, and the consequences of appearances. Findings reveal varying receptions based on cultural and temporal contexts. Students often empathize with the protagonist, Mathilde Loisel, while simultaneously critiquing her obsession with social status. The study also highlights the relevance of La Parure in modern contexts, particularly in addressing materialism and the pursuit of superficial appearances, akin to contemporary phenomena like social media lifestyles. Additionally, the analysis examines students’ perceptions of adaptations of La Parure into films and graphic novels, revealing how different media influence their understanding of the story's irony and moral lessons.
