Abstract

This study examines the role of transformative leadership exercised by the school principal in strengthening civic values at SMA Swasta Erlangga Pematangsiantar. Employing a qualitative case study approach, the research explores leadership strategies, implementation processes, and challenges in fostering an inclusive and adaptive school culture within a small-scale private school context. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, focus group discussions, and participatory observation involving the principal, teachers, and students. The findings reveal that transformative leadership, manifested through moral role modeling, inspirational motivation, intellectual stimulation, and individualized consideration, effectively enhances the involvement of teachers, students, parents, and the surrounding community in internalizing civic values. These values are reflected in collaborative learning practices, student organizational activities, and school–community partnerships. Despite challenges such as social media influence, limited resources, and varying parental expectations, transformative leadership functions as a significant agent of change in addressing the demands of the digital era and social diversity. The study concludes that continuous leadership development and strengthened school–community collaboration are essential to optimizing civic education.

Abstract

Discourse Analysis (DA) has emerged as a critical instrument in social sciences to uncover power dynamics and social realities, particularly within the context of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). However, researchers often encounter methodological ambiguity when selecting the most appropriate framework among diverse linguistic traditions. This study conducts a critical comparative analysis of three dominant paradigms: M.A.K. Halliday’s Systemic Functional Linguistics, Teun A. van Dijk’s Socio-Cognitive Approach, and Norman Fairclough’s Critical Discourse Analysis (as discussed in O'Regan, 2021). Using a qualitative library research method, this study deconstructs the epistemological foundations and analytical tools of each approach. The findings indicate that Halliday’s framework offers a microscopic lens on textual texture and register, van Dijk’s approach bridges text and society through cognitive mental models, while Fairclough’s model examines the dialectical relationship between language and institutional power. The study concludes with a comparative matrix, providing a methodological roadmap for researchers to align these frameworks with specific social inquiries, such as education, inequality, or policy analysis.

Abstract

This research aims to improve the listening ability of grade IX-4 students at SMP Negeri 5 Pematangsiantar, specifically in identifying regular past tense verb endings (-ed). The background of this study is the students' difficulty in distinguishing /t/, /d/, and /ɪd/ sounds. This study utilized Classroom Action Research (CAR) conducted in two cycles. The subjects were 32 students. Data were collected through listening tests and observations. The results showed a significant improvement. The mean score increased from 47.43 in the pre-test to 80.96 in the post-test of Cycle II. Furthermore, the students' passing rate improved from 16.67% to 74.07%. It is concluded that the Auditory, Intellectually, and Repetition (AIR) model is effective in enhancing students' listening skills and engagement.
