Abstract

Studies of cultural narratives as indirect speech acts and persuasive strategies in health promotion remain limited. This study aims to discover how "Go’et," a cultural narrative of Manggarai Community Indonesia, is used as an indirect speech act and persuasive strategy in health promotion. It is a qualitative study with a phenomenological approach. The study was conducted in the Rego dialect community, Manggarai, Indonesia. The study participants were chosen purposively based on predetermined criteria. The participants included healthcare providers, customary leaders, and community figures. Data from the study were collected using in-depth interviews, observation, documentation and Focus Group Discussion. The study indicated that the cultural narratives of Go’et in the Manggarai community in Indonesia are relevant to the context of health promotion. The cultural narratives are constructed in imperative sentences with the illocutionary power of advising, recommending and hoping. Using indirect speech acts through "Go’et" has become a persuasive strategy for shaping people's perceptions, beliefs and behavior.  Healthcare providers can adopt such expressions to positively influence patients' emotional states, enhancing their psychological readiness to recover or maintain good health. The study contributes to understanding how cultural narratives function as indirect speech acts in non-Western communities, particularly within the Manggarai context of Indonesia. By highlighting Go’et as a culturally embedded form of communication, the study expands the theoretical discourse on indirectness, politeness strategies, and persuasive communication in health promotion. Moreover, the study provides valuable insights into community-based health promotion strategies by emphasizing the compelling role of traditional discourse.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the profile and needs of teachers in learning to write science literacy-based explanatory texts at Vocational High Schools (SMK) in Cianjur, Jawa Barat. Employing a descriptive qualitative method, data were collected via an online questionnaire distributed to 19 Indonesian language teachers. The questionnaire instrument consisted of closed and open questions covering respondents' identity, teaching experience, learning challenges, and needs for teaching materials. The results show that most teachers, with varying teaching experience, have taught explanatory texts. However, learning still predominantly focuses on mechanical aspects and has not been optimally integrated with elements of science literacy. Conventional textbooks are still the primary source of learning, while utilizing digital media and contextual materials is minimal. Teachers also expressed the need for teaching materials linking text structures with scientific understanding relevant to students' lives. In addition, training for teachers in integrating science literacy into writing instruction is urgently needed. These findings confirm the importance of developing science literacy-based writing e-modules to solve classroom learning challenges and improve students' critical thinking, information literacy, and writing skills in a contextual and meaningful way.

Abstract

Metacognitive strategies are language learning strategies used to improve self-monitoring and self-regulation skills. Using a purposive sampling technique, 79 students in a creative writing class were selected to participate. Data collection was carried out repeatedly, and the data were analyzed using repeated measurement tests. During essay writing learning, students were guided to develop metacognitive skills, starting from planning, monitoring, and evaluating writing. The results of the study showed that metacognitive strategies influenced the development of metacognitive skills. Students were accustomed to writing in the stages of planning writing, monitoring the strategies used, and evaluating the writing results. When completing their writing, they were guided to use a reflection journal as a self-reflection tool. Measurements were carried out five times. In the first week, students began to be introduced to metacognitive strategies with a focus on awareness of the thinking process, especially in planning the content of the writing; in the second week, students showed significant improvement when they were able to organize ideas more coherently and relevantly to the topic; In week 3, students demonstrated maturity in developing arguments, enriching descriptions, and improving paragraph cohesion and coherence, resulting in a significant increase in their creative essay writing scores. However, in weeks 4 and 5, students' abilities slowed down, with no statistically significant differences. This stagnation was caused by the learning plateau and ceiling effect, the short duration of treatment, inaccurate assessment instruments, and student motivation and boredom. Nevertheless, metacognitive strategies are recommended for use in essay writing learning.
