Abstract

Proverbs that represent their values and perspective are part of the rich cultural legacy of the Batak people of North Sumatra, Indonesia. "Dalihan Natolu" (translates as "The Three Hearth Stones") is one such proverb. This proverb is an important part of Batak social structure and values, which makes it a valuable topic for linguistic study. The "Dalihan Natolu" proverb is examined in this study using the Systemic Functional Grammar (SFG) theoretical paradigm. SFG is a linguistic approach that examines the ways in which language is employed to create meaning and depict the outside world. We can learn more about the grammatical and semantic elements of the "Dalihan Natolu" proverb that contribute to its cultural importance by using SFG to analyze it. The ideational, interpersonal, and textual meta functions of SFG are the three main areas of analysis. The proverb's representation of experiences and construction of reality are examined by the ideational meta function. The interpersonal meta function looks at how the proverb conveys the speaker's position and enacts social interactions. The textual meta function looks at the proverb's method of arranging ideas to create a logical and cohesive message. The study's goal is to identify the language structures and patterns that underlie the cultural significance and symbolic force of the "Dalihan Natolu" adage through this in-depth investigation. Understanding the proverb from the standpoint of Systemic Functional Grammar helps us to better grasp the richness and complexity of Batak cultural expression as well as its applicability in the contemporary era. The results of this work advance the field of linguistic analysis of cultural artefacts and the academic understanding of Batak language and culture. In light of the swift advancements in social and technological spheres, the knowledge acquired can also contribute to the preservation and promotion of Batak cultural heritage.

Abstract

This study aims to examine how the application of literal meaning, as conceptualized in semantic theory, can support the development of children's speaking skills—specifically in enhancing vocabulary acquisition and sentence structure. Recognizing that early language learners often face challenges in selecting appropriate words and constructing grammatically accurate sentences, this research investigates the pedagogical potential of introducing literal meanings in language instruction. Employing a qualitative research design, data were collected through classroom observations and in-depth interviews with primary school teachers. The findings reveal that instructional strategies emphasizing the use of literal meanings help children comprehend vocabulary more clearly and construct more coherent sentences. These results highlight the significant role of semantic-based teaching approaches in improving clarity and linguistic accuracy in early language education.

Abstract

Kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat ini dimotivasi oleh kemampuan mendengarkan siswa yang masih relatif rendah di sekolah Mars terkait apa itu TOEFL dan kurangnya pemahaman tentang keterampilan mendengarkan, terutama dalam memahami audio bahasa Inggris dengan aksen asing, kecepatan tinggi, dan variasi pertanyaan yang kompleks baik secara formal maupun akademis seperti yang umum ditemukan di bagian mendengarkan TOEFL. Kesulitan ini disebabkan oleh kurangnya paparan terhadap pemahaman keterampilan bahasa Inggris, terutama keterampilan mendengarkan yang efektif. Sosialisasi ini melibatkan 70 siswa sebagai peserta yang mengikuti kegiatan sosialisasi, yang dilakukan oleh siswa yang bertindak sebagai fasilitator utama dalam pelatihan. Metode yang digunakan adalah metode pendekatan deskriptif kualitatif. Data diperoleh melalui observasi selama kegiatan, wawancara siswa, dan pemberian penjelasan tentang format TOEFL serta pemberian kiat dan trik dalam menjawab pertanyaan TOEFL dan pemberian tugas audio sebagai pelatihan. Hasil evaluasi menunjukkan bahwa setelah mengikuti sosialisasi, siswa mulai tertarik pada TOEFL dan lebih memahami keterampilan mendengarkan. Siswa juga menunjukkan peningkatan kepercayaan diri dan motivasi saat mendengarkan audio bahasa Inggris. Selain itu, kegiatan ini menciptakan suasana belajar yang lebih interaktif dan menyenangkan. Oleh karena itu, kegiatan ini diharapkan menjadi model kolaboratif dalam meningkatkan kualitas pembelajaran mendengarkan di tingkat sekolah menengah atas dan melalui sosialisasi ini diharapkan siswa akan termotivasi untuk meningkatkan pemahaman dan kemampuan mereka dalam bahasa Inggris, khususnya dalam keterampilan mendengarkan, agar siap menghadapi era globalisasi yang semakin canggih.
