Abstract

This report presents a semiotic analysis of the Indonesian horror film “Santet Segoro Pitu” using Roland Barthes' framework, which includes denotation, connotation, and myth. This study adopts a descriptive-qualitative method, with the film “Santet Segoro Pitu” as the main object. The primary research instrument is Roland Barthes' semiotic approach, which is used to uncover the meaning of signs in the film through three levels of signification: denotation, connotation, and myth. Data collection techniques include watching the entire film on Netflix, using screenshots as documentation, conducting in-depth observations of symbols, and applying triangulation methods. By examining seven key symbols—the black magic “Santet Segoro Pitu,” the mysterious package, the seven seas, the shaman, the Suanggi ghost, the Ruwatan ritual, the offerings, and the antagonist shaman's altar—this study aims to uncover the deeper cultural, social, and ideological messages embedded in the film. This analysis demonstrates how the film leverages traditional Indonesian beliefs about shamans and black magic to construct a narrative that reflects societal anxieties, the enduring power of local folklore, and the tension between traditional and modern practices.

Abstract

Abstract: This research aims to investigate the teaching strategies employed by English teachers at SMPN 2 Mori Atas. Using a descriptive qualitative design, data were collected through observations, interviews, and documentation. The findings reveal that the teacher used three primary teaching strategies: direct instruction, small group work, and role play. Among these, direct instruction was the most frequently implemented. The study highlights the importance of selecting strategies that are both engaging and suited to students’ needs to enhance learning outcomes. These results contribute to a better understanding of how strategic teaching practices influence English language instruction at the junior high school level.

Abstract

This study aims to explain how the interaction between images and texts constructs meanings related to gender equality, disability, and social inclusion (GEDSI) in English textbooks for Senior High School/Islamic Senior High school (SMA/MA) of the Merdeka Curriculum, for instance Life Today and Train of Thoughts. A mixed-methods explanatory sequential design was applied by combining quantitative and qualitative data. The data of GEDSI-oriented are analyzed by using Visual Grammar theory of Kress and van Leeuwen (2020). The findings reveal that the English textbooks partially reflect GEDSI principles. While the visual representations demonstrate some awareness of gender and disability inclusion. They predominantly reproduce traditional gender roles, such as female character are still more strongly associated with domestic and caregiving roles, while male characters are positioned lie outside the home, and present disability as marginal rather than integral to the narratives. As a result, although the textbooks include certain inclusive elements, their multimodal design provides only limited opportunities for senior high school students to develop a critical understanding of GEDSI-related issues.

Abstract

This study investigates the use of songs as a medium for English language learning among fourth- and fifth- grade students at SDN Maliwuko, Poso Regency, Indonesia. Conducted over a two-month period (January–February2025), the research employed a descriptive qualitative case study approach. Data were collected through classroom observations, semi-structured interviews with teachers and students, and documentation of lesson plans and learning modules. The findings reveal that songs were integrated into all stages of the learning process: preliminary, core, andfinal act  vities. During preliminary activities, songs functioned as ice-breakers to motivate students and prepare them psychologically for learning. In core activities, songs were used to introduce and reinforce vocabulary, improve pronunciation, and associate words with physical movements, thereby integrating cognitive, affective, and psychomotor domains. In final activities, songs served as closing exercises and informal evaluation tools. Interviews with the teacheremphasized  the  importance  of  creativity  in  selecting  and  implementing  songs,  highlighting  their  effectiveness  in increasing student motivation, maintaining concentration, and creating a lively classroom atmosphere. Student interviews confirmed these benefits, with most students reporting that songs made learning enjoyable and helped them memorize vocabulary more easily. However, challenges were noted when song lyrics were too long, underscoring the need forcareful song selection. Overall, the study concludes that songs are an effective pedagogical medium for English language learning in  Indonesian  elementary schools. They foster  motivation, concentration, and  enjoyment while supporting vocabulary acquisition and pronunciation practice. The integration of songs into English learning reflects an innovative and responsive approach aligned with the principles of the Merdeka Curriculum.
