Abstract

Reading comprehension involves understanding and interpreting text, which can be particularly difficult for learners of a foreign language. This study aimed to assess how effective animated videos are in enhancing the reading comprehension of seventh grade students. This study employed an experimental approach using a quasi-experimental design. The participants were from the VII A and VII B at a Private Junior High School in Jepara, consisting of 46 students. It involved two groups: an experimental group used animated videos to teach reading comprehension, and a control group did not use them. Both groups received a pre-test and post-test to measure reading comprehension of descriptive text, which consisted of 20 multiple- choice questions validated by two experts. The collected data were analyzed using SPSS 25.0. The resulting data analysis indicated a significant difference between both groups, where the experimental group achieved an average test score of 77.73, which was higher than control group with a score of 69.17. The statistical test showed a significant score (2-tailed) of 0.026 (p < 0.05). These results highlight the potential of animated videos as an effective instructional medium for enhancing students’ reading comprehension of descriptive texts.

Abstract

This study investigates the lexical and structural differences between Herman Melville’s Moby Dick and its Indonesian translation, with a focus on preserving the novel’s symbolic, philosophical, and stylistic complexity. Using a qualitative descriptive approach rooted in translation theory, the study critiques existing strategies such as literal translation, transcreation, adaptation, and omission, and introduces a new model, CLASTIC (Contextual Lexical and Structural Translation with Intercultural Calibration). This model addresses the shortcomings of conventional methods by emphasizing contextual interpretation, semantic layering, structural adaptation, and cultural negotiation. Findings reveal that literal translation often leads to a loss of narrative tone and symbolic depth, while uncalibrated adaptation risks distorting authorial intent. The CLASTIC Model successfully bridges linguistic accuracy and cultural sensitivity, offering a comprehensive and applicable framework for translating literary texts from English into Indonesian. The study concludes that effective literary translation demands both interpretive creativity and intercultural awareness, especially when dealing with canonical works marked by complex symbolism and narrative style.

Abstract

The way university students use language is changing rapidly due to TikTok. This study aims  to  address  that  issue  by  looking  at  how  students  incorporate TikTok phrases into their in-person conversations as part of a larger shift in language. The research included four female college students from ITEBIS PGRI Dewantara Jombang, selected using purposive sampling.  Information was collected through semi-structured interviews and analyzed qualitatively.   The findings indicate that students frequently and unknowingly use phrases such as damn, pick me, red flag, healing, and cringe in their everyday conversations. These expressions go beyond online platforms, serving as means to convey humor, sarcasm, emotions, and social connections. Their usage reveals an unconscious adaptation, signifying identity and belonging within a community.  The results show that the way these terms are used flexibly often points to a continuous change in spoken language influenced by interactions with peers and current trends. Therefore, TikTok serves not just as a source of entertainment but also as a driving force for informal language innovation, bringing in new phrases and promoting language evolution from the ground up within student groups.
