Abstract

This study examines the use of euphemism in crime news published on online media platforms, with a particular focus on Detik.com. The purpose of this research is to identify and analyze the forms and functions of euphemism that journalists employ to present sensitive or potentially disturbing information in a more polite, neutral, and socially acceptable manner. The data were collected from crime-related news articles published in February 2025 through a reading and note-taking technique. The analysis involved three stages: data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal that euphemism appears in various forms, including abbreviations, loanwords, foreign terms, metaphors, and periphrasis. These linguistic strategies serve multiple functions: softening harsh expressions, concealing sensitive information, maintaining diplomacy, providing educational value, and reducing social anxiety. Overall, the study highlights the role of euphemism in shaping public perception of crime news and its importance in upholding journalistic ethics. The results are expected to contribute to a better understanding of how language use in the media influences communication, objectivity, and sensitivity in news reporting.

Abstract

This study is about a social class that plays a very important role in the life and death of the main character in Thomas Hardy’s the Mayor of Casterbridge. It is called to have an important role as it triggers the character to survive though eventually; he must die for it. Using the capitalist mode of production and descriptive and dramatic approach to picture the social class in the society as well as the effect of it, the study shows that the main character’s life is triggered by the social class in the society, that is, wealth possession. The more property a man gets the more respects he gets from the society. On the contrary, the less property he gets the less respects he gets. It, then, becomes the main issue of the people in the novel to behave according to the social class driving the main character to the downfall. Finally, although the study has the novelty since no previous studies use the same theory as the researcher’s study, the study gives the readers moral lesson that sometimes in a society, wealth is worth more whilst in another society is not. Besides, this novelty is to develop the study of literature.

Abstract

Brand recall plays a crucial role in building a strong relationship between consumers and brands. One important aspect of brand recall is the use of a tagline, which aims to create a lasting impression and strengthen brand recall. This study delves deeper into the power of the tagline "Seleraku" in building brand recall for Indomie products. Using Roland Barthes' semiotic approach, this research analyzes the deeper meaning behind the tagline. The findings show that the tagline "Seleraku" not only refers to taste but also creates a strong emotional connection between consumers and the Indomie brand. Through an analysis of advertisement content, it was found that the consistent use of visuals and text reinforces the connotative meaning of the tagline, such as pride in being a local product and personal attachment. This connotative meaning plays a significant role in shaping consumer memory of the Indomie brand. Furthermore, the study also found that the consistency of the tagline’s use across various advertising media contributed to Indomie's success in creating high brand awareness. Therefore, it can be concluded that the tagline "Seleraku" is a key factor in Indomie's success in building customer loyalty and maintaining its dominant position in the instant noodle market. This study contributes to a deeper understanding of the role of semiotics in marketing communication, particularly in the context of building brand recall.

Abstract

National Education functions to develop abilities and shape the character and civilization of a dignified nation to make the nation's life intelligent. The need to increase insight and knowledge certainly begins with the Literacy Movement which can be started by reading. However, according to UNESCO data, the reading interest of Indonesian people is very concerning, only 0.001%. This means that out of 1,000 Indonesians, only 1 person is an avid reader. Ironically, according to the Ministry of Communication and Information, although the interest in reading books is low, wear social data reveals that Indonesians can stare at gadget screens for approximately 9 hours a day. Gadget addiction by children today also has an impact on the social and cultural environment so that their understanding of local culture begins to fade. Thus, there is a need for innovative and interesting media to attract students' reading interest by highlighting local wisdom. The purpose of this study was to analyze the application of digital-based folklore media in increasing students' interest in reading. This study was conducted using a mix-method method on 20 fourth-grade students of SDN 1 Rantepao. The data collection techniques used were observation, interviews, tests, and documentation. The results of this study were an increase in students' interest in reading after using the media. Digital-based folklore by utilizing interactive technology and interesting visual elements is used as an alternative learning media to increase student participation in reading activities. This research is useful for other schools that want to use digital-based learning media as well as a forum for preserving culture.

The population for this study was all class XI of SMA Kristen Makale with a total of 200 students and the sample was class XI-3 and X1-6 totaling 69 people. The results of this study indicate that audiovisual media can influence students' conceptual understanding of drama material by looking at the ability to analyze the concept of the material before using audiovisual media, students of class XI SMA Kristen Makale did not achieve the minimum learning completeness by looking at the average obtained by students, which is 80.29 while the completeness value that must be achieved is 86 while the ability to analyze the concept of the material after using audiovisual media, students of class XI SMA Kristen Makale have achieved the minimum learning completeness by looking at the average value obtained by students, which is 87.62. This is proven by the hypothesis test of the p-value <0.05, which is 0.000 <0.05, so it can be determined that Ho is rejected and Ha is accepted.

Abstract

Literacy applied in elementary schools is very important because it is the main foundation for the development of children's knowledge and skills in the future. Good literacy will help students understand other lessons. To develop literacy in schools, a culture of literacy is instilled in students, and learning resources are provided. The low literacy rate is due to a lack of understanding of the concept of basic literacy and the implementation of literacy that is less supportive. In addition, there is a gap in access and quality of education between urban and rural areas. In some remote areas, children have less access to reading books and minimal libraries, resulting in low interest in reading for students. The low interest in reading for students will have an impact on their reading ability. The existence of libraries and reading corners in schools is a school literacy program that can be carried out to develop students' reading skills. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of school literacy programs on students' reading skills. This study is a descriptive qualitative study with observation and interview methods. Data Analysis Techniques are through the stages of reduction, display, and conclusion/verification. The research sample can be determined from related data sources, from interviews and observations of students from grade IV, such as class teachers, librarians, and other data sources. The results of this study indicate that this study with the title found that literacy in the scope of students at SD Negeri 7 Buntao is still low, so it is necessary to increase literacy in the scope of the school. This study is useful for other schools that want to carry out literacy programs.

Abstract

This study investigates the implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum in Indonesian language learning at junior high schools (SMP). The central issue identified is the gap between the government’s conceptual design of the curriculum and its actual classroom practice, which hinders the achievement of students’ literacy competencies. The objectives of the study are: (1) to analyze how the Merdeka Curriculum is implemented in Indonesian language subjects, (2) to identify the challenges faced by teachers and students, and (3) to describe stakeholders’ responses and adaptations to the policy. A descriptive qualitative approach with a case study design was employed. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with Indonesian language teachers, classroom observations in three junior high schools, and document analysis of lesson plans, syllabi, and curriculum guidelines. Data were analyzed using the Miles and Huberman model, which includes data reduction, display, and conclusion drawing, and the validity of findings was ensured through triangulation. The results indicate that while teachers have attempted to apply the principles of autonomy through project-based learning and authentic assessment, challenges remain, including limited resources, insufficient pedagogical readiness, and weak managerial support at the school level. Students demonstrated greater motivation and creativity in language tasks, yet continued to require structured guidance in organizing materials. The contribution of this study lies in providing concrete recommendations for developing teacher training modules, supplying contextualized teaching resources, and strengthening policy supervision. These recommendations are expected to enhance the effectiveness of the Merdeka Curriculum in improving Indonesian language competence at the junior high school level.
