Abstract

This study aims to determine whether there is a significant relationship between emotional intelligence and students’ academic achievement. The focus of the research is on ninth-grade students at SMP Negeri 1 Maiwa in the subject of Indonesian Language. The research method used is quantitative with an ex post facto approach and a correlational design. The instrument used was an emotional intelligence questionnaire based on a Likert scale and documentation of academic scores. The analysis results indicate that there is no significant correlation between emotional intelligence and students’ academic performance. With a significance value of 0.796 and a determination coefficient of only 0.1%, it can be concluded that emotional intelligence is not a dominant factor influencing academic achievement in this context. However, clustering analysis suggests that emotional intelligence may contribute to stability in the learning process. Therefore, educational approaches should consider students’ emotional aspects.

Abstract

This study investigates the psycholinguistic factors that influence junior high school students' ability to communicate in English, focusing on emotional and cognitive barriers that impede speaking performance. While numerous studies have examined speaking difficulties among university students, research on younger learners particularly junior high school students remains limited. This study addresses that gap by exploring the challenges faced by seventh-grade students at SMP Nasrani 5 Medan. Employing a descriptive qualitative design, data were collected through classroom observations and in-depth interviews with selected students and teachers. The findings reveal that affective factors, such as fear of making mistakes, embarrassment, and anxiety, are the most dominant barriers to speaking English. Additional obstacles include overreliance on internal monitoring of grammar, limited vocabulary, and insufficient sentence construction skills. The study also highlights the importance of a supportive learning environment: strategies such as relaxed classroom settings, the use of engaging media like songs, and teacher encouragement were found to reduce psychological resistance and enhance students’ willingness to speak. These insights have practical implications for English language teaching, particularly in developing approaches that address emotional as well as linguistic challenges in early-stage language learners.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the forms, strategies, and supporting and inhibiting factors for maintaining the Javanese language in the diaspora community in Pangkajene Village, Maritengngae District, Sidenreng Rappang Regency. The phenomenon of language shift that occurs due to social mobility and interaction with different language environments is the background to the importance of this study. The method used in this study is a qualitative descriptive method with data collection techniques in the form of observation, interviews, and documentation. The results of the study indicate that the maintenance of the Javanese language is carried out through the use of language in the family, social activities, and religious areas. The strategies applied include passing on the language to children, using Javanese in traditional activities, and getting used to it in daily communication. Supporting factors include a sense of pride in ethnic identity and the existence of a community of fellow diaspora, while inhibiting factors include the dominance of Indonesian and Bugis languages in the surrounding environment and the lack of interest of the younger generation. This study emphasizes the importance of the role of families and communities in maintaining the sustainability of regional languages in a multicultural society.

Abstract

Communication plays a crucial role in organizations as it influences individual interactions and the achievement of organizational goals. Within organizations, communication occurs in three main forms: verbal, non-verbal, and written. Each form contributes to shaping perceptions, building understanding, and supporting accurate decision-making. However, misunderstandings often arise due to differences in individual or group perceptions, which can impact work effectiveness and relationships among organizational members. This study aims to explore the role of verbal, non-verbal, and written communication in fostering effective relationships within organizations. Using a qualitative method and literature review, this research provides an in-depth examination of communication phenomena in organizational settings. The findings indicate that clear and effective communication—whether verbal, non-verbal, or written—can enhance employee performance, facilitate information flow, and strengthen collaboration within organizations. Therefore, it is essential for organizations to understand and implement effective communication strategies to minimize potential misunderstandings and improve work effectiveness as well as the achievement of organizational goals.

Abstract

This research aims to discover the self-esteem portrayed in Akeelah and the Bee film by Doug Atchison. The film's theme is about Akeelah Anderson achieving success in a spelling bee competition and having a challenge to build her self-esteem. Self-esteem is a person’s overall sense of self-worth or personal value. It significantly influences motivation, behavior, and overall well-being. Collectively these characters graphically portray a powerful theme regarding academic motivation. This study employs a qualitative approach which focuses on content analysis. The analysis of self-esteem is applied by using four aspects of Coopersimth’s self-esteem namely competence, power, significance, and virtue. Each aspect is elaborated based on the scripts and depicts self-esteem regarding the theory. As a result, Akeelah has all aspects of self-esteem in her personality that help her to achieve her goal. The important message sent to the audience is that Akeelah’s story demonstrates self-esteem is not something we are born with, but rather something we build through challenges, support from others, and a belief in our abilities

Abstract

low interest of students in storytelling activities. Many students showed reluctance to participate actively, often engaging in off-topic conversations or joking with peers during class. This behavior reflected a lack of enthusiasm and motivation toward storytelling lessons. The purpose of this research was to improve the storytelling skills of fourth-grade students (Class IV A) through the use of animated films containing character values. The research method used was Classroom Action Research (CAR). The results demonstrated that the use of character-based animated films effectively enhanced students’ storytelling abilities. Improvements were observed in the learning process, including increased student engagement, focus, enthusiasm, and confidence in speaking in front of the class. In terms of outcomes, the average storytelling score improved from 55 in the pre-action stage to 68 in Cycle I, and further increased to 76 in Cycle II, reaching a good category. These findings indicate that both the process and product of students' storytelling skills significantly improved through the use of animated films with character values.
