Abstract

This research carries the main objective of uncovering the religious values contained in the novel “Garuda di Dadaku” by Salman Aristo and exploring its relevance in the context of literary education in secondary schools. Through a semiotic approach, this study aims to identify and analyze the various religious themes implied in the literary work, including aspects such as faith, Sharia, and morality. In an educational context, these values have great potential to be integrated into the literature curriculum in secondary schools as part of the effort to teach students Islamic character, morals, and teachings. The results of the research analysis highlight key elements such as Aqidah, Sharia, justice, responsibility, and effort contained in the novel. The findings not only provide deep insights into the religious messages conveyed through such literary works, but also provide a solid basis for developing relevant and effective learning strategies in the classroom. By using the novel as teaching material, literature teachers can facilitate in-depth discussions on the religious values found in the story, providing students with opportunities to reflect on and internalize the moral messages conveyed. Thus, this study emphasizes the importance of using literature as a tool to discuss and instill religious values in students. As a relevant and effective resource in literature learning in secondary schools, the novel “Garuda di Dadaku” not only provides a deep reading experience, but also opens the door for deep reflection on life values and religious teachings. Thus, this study makes an important contribution to curriculum development and literature learning practices centered on understanding religious values, semiotics, and students' literary experiences

Abstract

"In 'Tarian Bumi,' the narrative vividly portrays Balinese women's defiance against the entrenched patriarchal norms of their society. The protagonist, Ida Ayu Telaga, emerges as a symbol of courage, challenging the oppressive customs that confine women's autonomy and expression. This research endeavors to delve into the diverse manifestations of Balinese women's resistance against patriarchal hegemony, employing a feminist lens. Utilizing a descriptive qualitative approach, the study mines the rich textual landscape of 'Tarian Bumi' for instances of women's defiance. The methodology involves a meticulous examination of the novel, supplemented by insights from various secondary sources such as books, theses, articles, and news reports on women's struggles against patriarchy. Through a process of data reduction, classification, and validation, the researcher identifies recurring themes of resistance encoded within the text. The findings underscore a spectrum of challenges, encompassing traditional gender roles, marital expectations, familial constraints, religious and social inequalities, and instances of gender-based violence. These acts of resistance are articulated through diverse mediums including written expressions, philosophical reflections, and symbolic dances—a testament to the enduring struggle for justice. By illuminating these narratives of defiance, the research serves as a catalyst for critical reflection, urging readers to interrogate prevailing patriarchal paradigms and advocate for gender equity."

Abstract

This study explored the enhancement of students' reading comprehension in language learning through the application of the Jigsaw method in university environments. Employing a qualitative research approach, data regarding the improvement of students' reading comprehension quality were gathered from students enrolled at Muhammadiyah Bhuton University, Gorontalo State University, and Muhammadiyah Mataram University. Data collection utilized the observe-participant conversation method, wherein the researcher observed the enhancement of students' reading abilities across multiple campuses. Additionally, interviews with students and lecturers were conducted to investigate research problems, with recording and note-taking techniques employed to ensure data accuracy. Reflective introspective methods were further employed, engaging both the researcher and informants in discourse based on their respective experiences. The collected data underwent reduction, classification, and verification based on their types. Subsequently, the data were tabulated through the assignment of codes to each piece of information, followed by interpretation. The research findings revealed that the improvement of students' reading abilities in Indonesian language courses at Muhammadiyah Bhuton University progressed smoothly and effectively. Furthermore, the enhancement of Arabic language reading abilities at Muhammadiyah Mataram University was broader and more intensive, while the improvement of English language reading abilities at Gorontalo State University contributed to enhanced comprehension of English texts. The practical implications of these findings suggest that cooperative approaches like the Jigsaw method can serve as effective alternatives for enhancing students' reading comprehension abilities in university settings

Abstract

This study aims to provide a comprehensive portrayal of Indonesian language utilization among factory workers in Pekalongan Regency. Employing a descriptive qualitative approach, the research investigates the factors influencing language preference and usage within this community. Data collection methods include documentation, questionnaires, and interviews, with analysis conducted through proficient engagement listening techniques. The findings reveal a nuanced interplay of factors shaping language behavior among factory workers. While Indonesian emerges as the dominant language in the workplace, driven by professional demands and the need for intercultural communication, the use of regional languages, particularly Javanese, persists in daily interactions. Notably, this linguistic landscape is influenced by factors such as workplace dynamics, societal norms, and generational shifts. By shedding light on these patterns, the study contributes to our understanding of language dynamics within industrial settings and highlights the importance of sociolinguistic factors in shaping communication practices.

Abstract

Linguistically, "gemoy" is not listed in the KBBI. This word is a pun on "gemas," which in KBBI means very irritated or very irritated, but in slang, "gemoy" describes more positive feelings of resonance. This article explores how the term 'gemoy' is used strategically in the 2024 presidential election campaign through the lens of Fairclough's critical discourse analysis model. This case study focuses on the @mypresident.id Instagram account and a post entitled "When 'Gemoy' Becomes a Trend in Indonesian Society". This study aims to analyze the use of the term "gemoy" during the 2024 presidential election campaign. This research applies qualitative descriptive methods with critical discourse analysis techniques. The data collected is in the form of all lingual elements, namely words, phrases, clauses, and sentences containing the word "gemoy" in the comment column of netizens on Instagram @mypresident.id. The data were analyzed using the three dimensions of Fairclough's Model Critical Discourse Analysis, which consists of a textual dimension, a discursive dimension, and a sociocultural dimension. The dimensions of sociocultural practices were further analyzed using Dell Hymes' SPEAKING theory. The results show that communication strategies that utilize "gemoy" branding to build politicians' self-image have provided practical examples of how politicians can use digital media to create a more relatable and attractive image in this digital age to influence public opinion. The use of creative and varied language is an important element in politics to attract public attention, build relationships with voters, and achieve political goals, especially for Generation Z and millennials

Abstract

This research aims to describe and analyze assertive speech acts in the debate event for the second candidate for Vice President of the Republic of Indonesia 2024. The method used in this research is a content analysis method with a qualitative approach. The qualitative approach is an approach that examines scientific objects in the form of narrative texts, while the content analysis method is a method that involves an in-depth discussion of the content of written information. The data source for this research is the KPU RI YouTube channel which is currently hotly discussed and watched by the wider community. The data collection techniques used in this research are observation techniques, note techniques, and documentation techniques. In this research the author found 43 assertive speech acts, consisting of 26 speech acts of informing, 6 speech acts of suggesting, 5 speech acts of stating, 1 speech act of reporting, 3 speech acts of complaining, 1 speech act of demanding and 1 speech act of disappointing. Based on the utterances spoken, the speech act with the most is the speech act of telling as many as 26 utterances because this speech act contains information that one wants to give to the interlocutor and the general public, while the utterances with the fewest are the speech act of reporting, the speech act of demanding and the speech act of jealousy each with 1 statement. So, it can be said that an assertive speech act is a speech act that binds the speaker to the truth of what is being said, therefore the speaker should pay attention to his speech when speaking, especially to the general public
