Abstract

This study aims to determine whether the use of digital flashcards significantly improves reading comprehension of descriptive texts in seventh-grade students at MTS Muslimat NU Palangka Raya. This study also addresses the hypothesis that there is a significant difference in students' reading comprehension improvement before and after treatment. Using a One-Group Pretest-Posttest pre-experimental design, this study involved a population of 115 students, with a sample of 25 students from grade VII-D selected through purposive sampling. The treatment was conducted over three sessions, focusing on vocabulary development and identifying generic structures in descriptive texts. Data were collected through a 20-item multiple-choice test. The results showed a significant improvement in student performance: the average pretest score was 58.50 (SD = 6.25), which increased to an average posttest score of 77.50 (SD = 5.40). Statistical analysis using a paired-sample t-test yielded t (24) = 4.24, p < 0.001, indicating that the null hypothesis (H0) is rejected and the alternative hypothesis (Ha) is accepted. These findings suggest that digital flashcards are an effective and innovative tool for improving reading comprehension. However, the lack of a control group and the specific geographic context limit the generalizability of these results. Future research should include larger sample sizes and true experimental designs to further validate these results.

Abstract

The development of digital media has encouraged radio as a conventional broadcasting medium to adapt through interactive communication practices with listeners. This study aims to analyze the patterns and dynamics of interactive communication implemented by Radio Aqila 102.6 FM Medan in building relationships with listeners. This study uses a qualitative approach with a case study method. Data collection techniques were carried out through in-depth interviews, broadcast observations, and documentation of radio interactive communication activities, both through on-air broadcasts and digital media. The results of the study indicate that Radio Aqila 102.6 FM Medan's interactive communication takes place in a limited two-way pattern, where radio still holds dominant control over the communication flow. The dynamics of interactive communication are influenced by management policy factors, broadcaster competence, and the use of digital media that has not been optimally integrated. This study concludes that radio interactive communication is not yet fully dialogic and participatory, so a more planned communication strategy is needed to increase listener engagement on an ongoing basis.

Abstract

Gerakan 17+8 Tuntutan Rakyat merupakan kumpulan narasi yang berisi keresahan dan tuntutan masyarakat yang dirumuskan secara kolektif oleh aliansi mahasiswa, buruh, dan masyarakat sipil terkait persoalan struktural, seperti kesenjangan ekonomi, menurunnya kepercayaan terhadap lembaga negara, dan krisis kemanusiaan  yang disebarkan melalui Instagram pada September 2025. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis proses komunikasi simbolik dalam gerakan tersebut menggunakan Teori Konvergensi Simbolik oleh Ernest G. Bormann dan konsep Computer Mediated Communication (CMC). Metode penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif deskriptif dengan paradigma konstruktivisme. Data dikumpulkan melalui observasi online, dokumentasi unggahan Instagram, dan studi pustaka, kemudian diuji menggunakan triangulasi sumber dan data. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Instagram menjadi ruang komunikasi digital dalam membangun solidaritas kolektif melalui simbol visual, hashtag, caption, dan narasi bersama. Fantasy theme terbentuk melalui narasi ketidakadilan struktural dan kritik terhadap elit politik, lalu menyebar melalui repost dan interaksi pengguna hingga membentuk fantasy chain. Pengulangan narasi menghasilkan fantasy type berupa konflik rakyat versus elit dan solidaritas kolektif. Keseluruhan proses tersebut mengkristal menjadi rhetorical vision tentang perjuangan bersama menuju keadilan sosial di era digital.
