Abstract

This research investigated the effect of the reading aloud technique on the pronunciation ability of seventh-grade EFL students at SMPN 6 Cempaga. A quasi-experimental design was applied, involving 70 students who were divided into two groups: an experimental group taught through the reading aloud strategy and a control group taught using conventional methods. Data were collected through oral pre-tests and post-tests and were analyzed with non-parametric tests (Wilcoxon and Mann-Whitney) due to the non-normal data distribution. The results showed that the experimental group’s mean pronunciation score improved from 55.64 to 73.29, while the control group’s score increased from 54.00 to 67.79. Statistical analysis confirmed a significant difference (p 0.05) between the two groups. The findings demonstrated that the reading aloud technique effectively enhanced students’ English pronunciation. Therefore, it was recommended that teachers adopt reading aloud as a regular classroom practice to foster learners’ oral proficiency and confidence.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the causes of stunting in toddlers in Nagari Rawang Gunung Malelo Surantih, Sutera District, Pesisir Selatan Regency. Stunting is a chronic nutritional problem that remains a serious public health challenge in Indonesia. This research employed a qualitative approach with a case study method. Data were collected over a period of two months, from June to July 2024, through observation, in-depth interviews, and document analysis. The study involved 10 informants, consisting of five parents of stunted toddlers, two village midwives, and three community leaders. The results show that stunting is caused by multiple interrelated factors: economic factors (poverty and limited purchasing power), cultural factors (inappropriate feeding practices and traditional beliefs), social factors (low education levels and early marriage), and environmental factors (poor sanitation and lack of clean water facilities). Addressing stunting requires a multi-sectoral approach, including strengthening public education, improving family economic welfare, and enhancing collaboration between the government, health workers, and the community.

Abstract

The academic readiness of PAUD teachersis an important indicator in determining their success in participating in the Teacher Professional Education (PPG). The problem that arises is the lack of comprehensive mapping regarding the level of academic readiness of PAUD teachers, particularly in the context of implementing the PPG tryout. This study aims to analyse the academic readiness of PPG PAUD participants in 2025 based on the results of a tryout participated in by 388 respondents from various regions in Indonesia. The study population consisted of all PAUD teachers who participated in the PPG UM 2025 tryout, with a sample of 388 individuals selected through total sampling. The research method employed was a descriptive, quantitative approach with frequency distribution analysis techniques. The results showed that 76 respondents (19.59%) were in the low readiness category, 256 respondents (65.98%) in the medium category, and 56 respondents (14.43%) in the high category. These findings indicate that the majority of teachers are still at the medium level of readiness, which means the a need for further academic intervention strategies. Therefore, it is recommended that institutions that organize PPG PAUD strengthen their academic provision programs, especially in the form of clinical questions, structured tutoring, and improving pedagogical and professional competencies to support a better transition towards PPG.

Abstract

This study examines the representation of illness in The Fault in Our Stars directed by Josh Boone through a psychological perspective. Illness in popular media is often portrayed in a sentimental or stereotypical way, focusing on tragedy or victimhood. This research aims to show how the film frames illness as a meaningful and transformative human experience. The study applies a descriptive qualitative method by conducting close reading of film scenes and dialogues. The analysis is based on Arthur W. Frank’s typology of illness narratives, namely restitution, chaos, and quest. The findings indicate that illness in the film is not only depicted as a medical condition but also as a narrative that shapes identity, relationships, and philosophical views. The quest narrative appears most dominantly, reflecting how the main characters, Hazel Grace and Augustus Waters, find meaning, agency, and emotional growth in the midst of suffering. In conclusion, the film resists stereotypical depictions of illness by presenting resilience, introspection, and authenticity in facing mortality. The novelty of this study lies in applying Frank’s illness narrative theory to film analysis, highlighting how cinematic storytelling can redefine illness as a source of meaning and personal growth.

Abstract

This article focuses on analyzing the suitability between the English textbooks for eighth grade published by Intan Pariwara and students' learning styles. Using descriptive quantitative methods through data collection techniques such as VAK (Visual, Auditory, Kinesthetic) learning style questionnaires and content analysis of the books. This study took 31 participants from grade VIII at an Islamic-based school in Surabaya. The findings show that there is an imbalance between students' learning styles and the proportion of learning styles in textbooks, because students predominantly have an Auditory learning style, while textbooks mostly facilitate Visual. However, the auditory learning style is still facilitated quite well, while Kinesthetic is the least facilitated which has the potential to widen the learning gap for students who require hands-on practice-based learning. This research highlights the balance of learning style facilitation in textbooks to better suit students' needs and emphasize the role of teachers in selecting and sorting appropriate textbooks to achieve inclusive and balanced learning.

Abstract

This study investigated the speaking skills of senior high school students in Pekanbaru, Riau, Indonesia, through a picture description task. Speaking is a crucial skill in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learning because it enables effective communication in both academic and social contexts. However, despite its significance, limited research has examined Indonesian students’ speaking performance through picture description tasks, particularly in relation to pronunciation and fluency. To address this gap, the present study assessed 46 students using a standardized rubric covering comprehension, grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, and fluency. Their performances were evaluated by three independent raters to ensure reliability and objectivity. The findings showed an overall mean score of 3.7, categorized as very good. Vocabulary obtained the highest average (4.2), followed by comprehension (3.8), grammar (3.6), and fluency (3.5). Pronunciation recorded the lowest mean (3.3). These results highlight the need for targeted pedagogical strategies to improve pronunciation and fluency while consolidating vocabulary and comprehension skills.

Abstract

This study explores the redefinition of heroism and queer identity in Madeline Miller's The Song of Achilles, highlighting its importance in contemporary literature. While previous research focuses on romantic and queer elements, it often overlooks how the novel systematically challenges traditional views of heroism, especially through emotional vulnerability and mentorship. Few analyses examine how Miller critiques conventional ideas of heroism by emphasizing compassion and self-acceptance. Using a qualitative descriptive approach and close reading, this study examines key themes such as love and emotional connections. The findings reveal that true heroism is rooted in these connections rather than physical strength, showing how the bond between Achilles and Patroclus reflects empathy and community. Ultimately, Miller's work encourages a broader understanding of heroism, suggesting it includes the courage to embrace one's identity, enriching discussions in literary studies and beyond.
