Abstract

This study aims to determine if Collaborative Strategic Reading (CSR) affects the reading comprehension of grade ten students of SMK Negeri 1 Dampal Selatan. It used a quasi-experimental design with two groups called experimental and control groups, and involved 52 grade ten students as the samples. The paper-and-pencil method was used for data collection, with tests as the instrument. The pretest and posttest tests were administered to both groups. Data obtained from the tests were analyzed statistically to determine the sampled students’ reading comprehension before and after the treatment. The result showed that the reading comprehension of the experimental group improved significantly compared to the control one. Using a degree of freedom (df) of 50 and a significance level (ρ) of 0.05, it was found that the t-counted was 8.79, which was higher than the t-table of 1.677. Because the t-counted value was greater than the t-table value, the research hypothesis was accepted. Thus, using Collaborative Strategic Reading is effective for improving the reading comprehension of the sampled students of grade ten at SMK Negeri 1 Dampal Selatan.

Abstract

One of the speech disorders in adolescence to adulthood is lisping, which is a speech impairment where there is difficulty in pronouncing the /r/ phoneme. A lisp involves an assimilation of sound changes that are imperfect when pronouncing the /r/ phoneme. This study aims to explore that communication with individuals who have a lisp is quite different compared to communication with individuals without speech disorders. The focus of this research is on adolescent lisp sufferers. The research method used is qualitative descriptive. The data collection techniques used in this study are recording, observation, and note-taking. Afterward, the data will be transcribed. The data sources are the students of SMPIT Nurul Qolbi on the consonants /r/ and /s/. The data consists of utterances from two informants. The results of this study show that Syafa Azzahra obtained 28 data points on the lisp disorder “S” and Ananda Rizky Ramadhan obtained 19 data points on the /r/ phoneme.

Abstract

This study investigates the use of code-mixing and code-switching in Pavolia Reine’s live streams, applying sociolinguistic frameworks by Poplack and Muysken to analyze these phenomena in a live-streaming context. Using a qualitative descriptive method, data were collected through transcriptions of her streams, focusing on identifying and categorizing instances of code-mixing and code-switching. The findings show that insertional code-mixing dominates, accounting for 97% of all cases, while alternation and congruent lexicalization represent 2% and 1%, respectively. This reflects the bilingual and multicultural environment of Hololive Indonesia, where Indonesian speakers frequently incorporate English and Japanese to reach broader audiences. Inter-sentential switching is the most common form of code-switching at 53%, followed by intra-sentential switching (29%) and tag switching (18%). These patterns demonstrate how linguistic strategies are employed to connect with local and international viewers, highlighting the multilingual backgrounds of the speakers. Overall, the study underscores the complexity and fluid integration of multiple languages in online streaming, illustrating how digital communication reshapes linguistic practices in real time

Abstract

This study analyzes the characterization of Enola Holmes, the main character in the 2020 film Enola Holmes, through Erik Erikson's psychosocial development theory. Both literature and film provide valuable insights into personal psychology and societal challenges. Erikson's stages—Identity vs. Role Confusion, Autonomy vs. Shame and Doubt, Initiative vs. Guilt, and Trust vs. Mistrust—are well illustrated in Enola's character development. Using qualitative descriptive methods, this study examines conversations and scenarios that highlight Enola's growth and independence, influenced by her relationship with her mother and the social norms of Victorian England. The analysis demonstrates how Erikson's psychosocial theory, which sheds light on identity development within a patriarchal cultural context, aligns with Enola's journey of self-discovery and resilience. The findings reveal that Enola's journey is marked by a strong sense of independence, exploration of identity, and resistance to societal expectations, underscoring the principles that individuals hold dear. This analysis, grounded in Erik Erikson's theory, provides insights into individual development as it relates to the character of Enola Holmes in the film.

Abstract

The development of effective English writing skills is a persistent challenge for learners, particularly in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) contexts, where cognitive and linguistic demands often overwhelm students. This study examines the role of Genre-Based Instruction (GBI) in addressing challenges by exploring its interaction with cognitive processes on writing proficiency. Specifically, the research explores how GBI contributes to students’ understanding of genre structures, promotes cognitive engagement in planning and organizing writing, and cultivates critical thinking. Employing a qualitative approach, data were collected through interviews involving 20 secondary school students. The results highlighted how GBI facilitated students' understanding of genre-specific conventions, enabling them to create texts with greater cohesion and coherence. Students also reported that the structured steps inherent in GBI reduced cognitive load and enhanced their ability to plan and organize ideas systematically. Furthermore, the study highlighted GBI’s role in motivating students by providing clear guidance and relevant content, which increased their confidence and enthusiasm for writing tasks. These findings underscore the potential of GBI to address the multifaceted challenges of writing by integrating cognitive and pedagogical strategies, offering actionable insights for educators and curriculum designers.

Abstract

This study is to assess the efficacy of the reciprocal technique in enhancing the reading abilities of senior high school students in Purbalingga Regency, Central Java. The study employed a quasi-experimental research design, comprising an experimental group instructed by the reciprocal technique and a control group instructed via lecturing methods. Data were gathered using pre-tests and post-tests comprising 50 multiple-choice questions on recount texts. An independent t-test by IBM SPSS Statistics 27 was chosen for data analysis to compare the performance between the experimental and control groups, aligning with the study’s objective of determining the significant effect of the reciprocal technique. The independent t-test analysis revealed a significant difference between the two groups (p = 0.008), demonstrating that the reciprocal strategy was more effective in improving students' reading comprehension. This method, including encompassing prediction, inquiry, clarification, and summarization tactics, promotes active engagement, critical analysis, and cooperation among students. The results indicate that the reciprocal technique can enhance students' reading abilities and foster the creation of more innovative and participatory English teaching strategies.
