Abstract

This study investigates the impact of the Literature Circle model on enhancing Malay Rumi reading proficiency and critical thinking skills among Mattayom 1 students at Phitakvitayak Kumung School in Southern Thailand. Adopting a quantitative experimental design, the research utilized pre-test and post-test assessments to evaluate changes in students’ reading performance, analyzed using SPSS. The results indicate a statistically significant improvement in reading proficiency following the intervention. For example, one student’s score increased from 60 to 80, reflecting a 20-point gain; similar improvements were recorded across the cohort. A paired sample t-test confirmed the significance of these gains, yielding a t-value of 58.169 and a p-value of 0.0001 (p < 0.05). Additionally, participation in Literature Circle discussions fostered the development of critical thinking abilities, including text analysis, questioning techniques, and comparative reasoning. This study contributes to the expanding field of collaborative literacy instruction by providing empirical evidence for the effectiveness of the Literature Circle model in multilingual, cross-cultural, and minority language contexts. Specifically, it advances the understanding of Rumi Malay pedagogy an area that remains under-explored by highlighting the model's potential to enhance both reading proficiency and higher-order thinking skills among learners in Southern Thailand.

Abstract

This study was motivated by the low level of Bahasa Rumi writing skills among Mattayom 3 students at Ban Kalisa School, who grow up in a linguistic environment where Thai, Malay Jawi, and Bahasa Rumi intersect. This study aims to describe the students’ initial and final abilities, as well as to analyze the effectiveness of the Literature Circle method in improving Bahasa Rumi writing skills. The study employed a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental pretest-posttest control group design. The research sample consisted of 27 students in the experimental class and 25 students in the control class. The data were obtained through Bahasa Rumi writing tests administered before and after the treatment, then analyzed using descriptive statistics and hypothesis testing. The results showed that the mean pre-test score of the experimental class was 62.19, while that of the control class was 61.40. After the treatment, the mean post-test score of the experimental class increased to 76.93, whereas that of the control class became 68.40. The gain score of the experimental class reached 14.74, which was higher than that of the control class at 7.00. Hypothesis testing indicated significant differences in the final results and gain scores between the two classes, demonstrating that the Literature Circle method was more effective than conventional instruction. These findings highlight the pedagogical significance of structured collaborative learning in supporting the development of students’ Bahasa Rumi writing skills and suggest that the method offers a meaningful contribution to writing instruction, particularly in multilingual learning contexts

Abstract

Academic communication through WhatsApp requires students to negotiate institutional hierarchy, interpersonal relationships, and linguistic choices within a digital environment where nonverbal cues are limited. This study aims to examine how emojis and the Batak Angkola dialect function as relational and pragmatic resources in students' academic communication and how their use varies according to participant relationships and academic purposes. The study employed a qualitative case study design with a digital pragmatics approach involving 80 students from the Indonesian Language Education Study Program at Universitas Muhammadiyah Tapanuli Selatan. The primary data consisted of 58 conversation threads comprising 185 messages obtained from eight course-based WhatsApp groups between September and December 2025. The data were complemented by semi-structured interviews with 16 students and 6 lecturers and were analyzed through pragmatic coding, relational analysis, and thematic development. The findings indicate that digital politeness is relational and adaptive rather than determined by isolated linguistic forms. Student-lecturer interactions more consistently employed greetings, academic forms of address, mitigation, explicit communicative purposes, and appreciative closings, whereas student-student communication tended to use a more familiar and direct register. Emojis functioned contextually as resources for mitigation, appreciation, affection, solidarity, humor, and emotional response, while the Batak Angkola dialect contributed to interpersonal closeness, solidarity, clarification, emphasis, and group identity. These resources did not automatically reduce academic formality but were adjusted according to the interlocutor, communicative purpose, and interactional context. The findings demonstrate that digital politeness can function as communicative scaffolding by helping participants manage social distance, preserve interpersonal relationships, and facilitate academic coordination in WhatsApp-based learning environments.

Abstract

Syair Jeir is a performative Mandailing oral tradition that conveys cultural knowledge and character values, yet its intergenerational transmission is increasingly constrained by limited documentation and the declining number of practitioners capable of performing manjeir. This study aims to analyze the character values represented in five Syair Jeir corpora, recontextualize their textual, vocal, performative, translational, and customary-contextual elements into YouTube-based audiovisual media for culture-based learning, and examine changes in the understanding and responses of Naposo Nauli Bulung after using the media. The study sequentially integrated qualitative and quantitative approaches through interviews, observations, documentation, analysis of five Jeir corpora, and a one-group pretest–posttest design. The data sources comprised three key informants, six Jeir practitioners, and 30 Naposo Nauli Bulung. Five character values were identified: solidarity, cooperation, respect for parents or elders, responsibility, and integrity. The selected corpora were recontextualized into audiovisual media by integrating verse texts, practitioners’ voices, performance videos, translations, and explanations of customary contexts. The mean understanding score increased from 28.47 on the pretest to 34.13 on the posttest. The paired-samples t-test showed a significant difference, t(29) = 6.960, p < .001, with Cohen’s dz = 1.271. Twenty-eight participants (93.3%) showed positive responses, while two participants (6.7%) required a more gradual introduction to Jeir. The findings indicate that digital recontextualization can support culture-based learning by expanding access and improving initial understanding of character values, while the development of performative competence still requires direct learning with practitioners and participation in living customary contexts.
