Abstract

The advancement of the movie industry makes it undeniable that wars between countries have occurred until now. It's just that the way of fighting is different. This study can conceptually illustrate the strategy of a country to attack another country by reconstructing the country's image negatively. The purpose of this study is to understand the representation of Japan as a colonizer in a Korean film entitled "Exhuma." This study employed a qualitative research design. The Exhuma film's symbol analysis research requires a wide range of data sources to support the interpretation of its meaning and messages. The primary source of data is the Exhuma film, where the researcher thoroughly examines the symbol elements to determine which symbols are there. The data is analyzed in seven stages: identification of symbols, analysis of literal meaning, relationship of symbols with context, consideration of interpretation, strengthening interpretation with supporting evidence, relationship of interpretation with themes, and drawing conclusions about the findings. Based on the results of the data analysis, it was found that in the film Exhuma, Japan is represented as a colonizer with two categories of historical and mythical symbols. Historical symbols are signs or symbols that depict the atrocities of Japanese colonization, based on adaptations of historical facts. While mystical symbols are signs or symbols that represent the atrocities of Japanese colonization based on supernatural or mystical beliefs and myths in the beliefs and culture of South Korean society.

Abstract

Background of the problem: Reading comprehension is a fundamental skill in learning, yet many students have difficulty in mastering it. Conventional learning methods are often less effective in increasing student engagement, so innovative learning models are needed. Purpose: To examine the effectiveness of STAD learning model in improving students' reading comprehension in grade VII at junior school South Halmahera. Method: This study used pre-experiment method with one-group pre-test and post-test design. The research sample consisted of 30 students, who were selected using cluster sampling techniques. Data was collected through reading comprehension tests before and after the application of the STAD model. Data analysis was conducted using t-test to measure the significance of differences in pre-test and post-test results. Result: The pre-test mean score was 55.30, while the post-test mean score increased to 77.40. The t-test result (19.55) was greater than the t-table (1.699) at a significant level of 0.05 with a degree of freedom (df) of 29. This shows that there is a significant increase in reading comprehension after the application of the STAD model. Implication: The results of this study indicate that the STAD learning model can be used as an effective strategy to improve students' reading comprehension. Therefore, it is recommended for educators to apply this model in learning to improve student learning outcomes, as well as develop further research to see its effectiveness in other subjects.
