Abstract

In the teaching process, educators are expected to take an active role in adapting and delivering diverse teaching strategies. However, a careful examination of the SMP Islam Setia Nurul Azmi classroom reveals persistent challenges in the implementation of effective instructional methods, primarily attributable to the paucity of instructional media available to the teachers. This shortage has a deleterious effect on student motivation. The objective of this study is to develop comic-based educational media focused on fable texts for seventh-grade students, with the aim of enhancing their writing skills. The research methodology employed a Research and Development (R&D) approach based on the 4-D model by Thiagarajan, comprising the following stages: define, design, develop, and disseminate. Data were collected through expert validations and response questionnaires. The media was rated as highly feasible by media experts (90%), content experts (100%), and linguists (86%). A study of usability assessments revealed high practicality scores from teachers (91%) and students (81%). The effectiveness of the assessments was confirmed by an 83% student mastery rate, which is classified as "very effective." Consequently, the comic-based learning media developed through the 4-D model is regarded as highly suitable for utilization as a supportive instructional resource in the classroom.

Abstract

This research is motivated by the low interest and learning outcomes of students in understanding news text material in class VII G, which is caused by the use of conventional learning media that is less interesting. The purpose of this study is to describe student responses in improving student learning outcomes in news text material. This study uses a qualitative method with a descriptive approach. The subjects of the study were 24 students in class VII G. Data were collected through an open questionnaire that was analyzed qualitatively to determine student responses to the use of Wordwall. The results showed that the majority of students gave positive responses to Wordwall media. They felt that learning was more fun, interactive, and easy to understand. This media is also able to increase student motivation and concentration during learning. In addition, students feel more challenged and motivated to answer practice questions because of its attractive appearance and competitive scoring system. The conclusion of this study is that the use of Wordwall as an interactive learning media is effective in increasing student interest and understanding of news text material. Therefore, teachers are advised to utilize digital media such as Wordwall as an alternative in a creative and innovative learning process.

Abstract

This study was motivated by the low ability of students at MA Muhammadiyah 01 Medan to write anecdotal texts, which requires innovative learning media to make the learning process more engaging and effective. The primary objective of this research was to develop a character video learning media that is valid, practical, and effective in improving the anecdotal text writing skills of tenth-grade students. The study employed a Research and Development (R&D) approach using the ADDIE model, which includes analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation stages. The research subjects consisted of tenth-grade students and experts who validated the content, media, and language aspects. Data collection techniques included observation, expert validation questionnaires, practicality questionnaires for teachers and students, and post-tests to measure students’ learning outcomes. Expert validation results indicated that the character video media is highly feasible for use, with high validity scores. Practicality tests from teacher questionnaires scored 97%, student questionnaires scored 89%, and learning implementation scored 91, all categorized as very good, indicating that the media is highly suitable and easy to apply in the learning process. Moreover, post-test results showed a significant improvement in students’ ability to write anecdotal texts after using the character video media. These findings confirm that the use of character video media provides a more interactive and contextual learning experience compared to conventional methods such as lectures. This study contributes significantly to the development of digital learning media, particularly for Indonesian language subjects, and can serve as a reference for educators in creating learning materials that align with students’ needs and interests.

Abstract

Gramsci's hegemony study offers an innovative perspective on literature, which does not merely reflect class structures, but also has autonomous social, political and cultural dimensions. The short story Mata Celurit represents the local political reality of Madura, especially in the village head election, which is full of power struggles and cunning intrigues. This research is based on descriptive qualitative method, with the main object of Mata Celurit short story published on Kompas website. The unit of analysis used in this research refers to Gramsci's theory of hegemony, which is associated with the political phenomenon of Madurese society in the local democratic event, namely the election of kalebun (village head). The primary source of this research is the short story Mata Celurit, which is strengthened by secondary sources in the form of master books, journal articles, and relevant research. The researcher acts as a key instrument in the process of analysing the short story. The data collection technique is done through reading and note-taking, literature review, and data tabulation. Furthermore, the tabulated data was analysed in depth using the discourse analysis method. To ensure the validity of the data, researchers applied data triangulation techniques. Based on the results and discussion, it was found that ideological domination exercised by the political community to hegemonise civil society includes tyrannical power, material as a political instrument, covert threat actions, religious legitimacy, and political manipulation and intimidation. Meanwhile, the ideological domination of civil society includes opposing political dynasties and obedience to the ruling authority. Through the resulting discourse, Mata Celurit presents the phenomenon of percaton land as an issue that influences hegemony. Gramsci's analysis of hegemony reflects that the author not only presents a person (society), but also serves to reveal the hegemony exercised in political contestation in the village in Madurese society. This research can be an inspiration for the community, academics, and writers to be more sensitive to hegemonic practices that occur in the surrounding environment, especially in the context of village politics in Madura. Mata Celurit short story can be used as a critical literacy media to increase public awareness about the importance of understanding and criticising the domination of power.

Abstract

The era of digital transformation presents new opportunities for students to develop their imagination and creative capacity by integrating artificial intelligence into literary learning, particularly in the appreciation of cross-cultural literary works. This study aims to describe the potential use of artificial intelligence: Leonardo.Ai, in enriching the learning experience and strengthening the appreciation of cultural values through the concretization of German poetry into visual images. The research highlights the meaning of the visualization of the poem “Abseits” by Theodor Storm by students of the German Language Education study program at the State University of Malang by focusing on three main dimensions: aesthetics, interpretation, and creativity. Descriptive qualitative method was used in this research. The source of data is active students taking the “Literaturgeschichte course class of 2020. The research data is in the form of student interpretation results in interpreting poetry visualization. The data were collected through a questionnaire sheet. Data analysis was carried out with the stages of data reduction, data presentation, conclusion drawing. The results showed that in the aesthetic dimension, students were able to interpret the meaning of poetry through visual elements such as color, composition, and visual harmony. In the interpretation dimension, students can connect the symbolism and themes contained in the poem with the visual representation produced. The creativity dimension is shown by students through the variety of approaches and innovations in combining visual and textual elements to create unique and in-depth interpretations of poetry. The implication of the research results is that AI can be used as a supporting medium in learning literature, encouraging student creativity, which ultimately provides a significant contribution in the field of education.

Abstract

This study is motivated by the importance of understanding the relationship between personality traits and children's language development, particularly in the area of morphology. The aim of this research is to describe the differences in morphological development in eight-year-old girls with introverted and extroverted personality types. This study employs a qualitative approach using a descriptive method. The research subjects consist of three girls: two with introverted personalities and one with an extroverted personality. All three subjects are students at a public elementary school located in the Kranggan area, Bekasi City. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation, using image-based stimuli designed to elicit written linguistic responses. The primary data consist of the children’s written texts, which were analyzed with a focus on their acquisition of morphological forms, including prefixes, suffixes, circumfixes, and reduplications. The findings show that the three subjects produced a total of 340 affixes, comprising 91 prefixes, 12 suffixes, 61 circumfixes, and 23 reduplications. The differences in personality types appear to influence the variation and quantity of morphological forms used by each child. Theoretically, this research contributes to psycholinguistic studies, particularly in exploring how psychological factors affect language development. Practically, the findings can be utilized by teachers, speech therapists, and parents as a foundation for designing language learning strategies that are tailored to the child’s personality traits in order to optimize their linguistic potential.

Abstract

Banua Language is one of the languages originating from the province of East Kalimantan. Banua Language is part of the Austronesian language family. This research on Banua Language uses a syntactic typology approach. The aim of this study is to explain the behavior of subjects in clause construction within Banua Language. As a regional language in East Kalimantan, Banua Language has a unique syntactic structure. Not much research has been done on the function and position of subjects in this language. Therefore, this study examines subjecthood through canonical position, relativization, and control, the three main tools according to Keenan and Comrie (1983). The distributional method was used to analyze data collected from native speakers through elicitation and uninvolved observation techniques. The study shows that in Banua Language, the subject always precedes the verb in both intransitive and transitive clauses. Additionally, the subject can be relativized exclusively using the form "anu". Furthermore, the subject can be controlled in serial verb constructions, but arguments without subjects do not exhibit the same characteristics. The findings indicate that Banua Language has subjecthood properties that align with universal syntactic principles and contribute to the typological mapping of Indonesian languages. The theoretical implication of this research is expected to strengthen the theory of subjecthood from a syntactic typology perspective and provide a global linguistic database. In addition, the practical implication expected from this research is to serve as a means for preserving the regional language and a foundation for developing the Banua Language grammar.

Abstract

PeProgram Pertukaran Mahasiswa Merdeka (PMM) offers students the opportunity to study at other universities across Indonesia, enriching their academic and cultural experiences. Exposure to different cultural and environmental contexts may influence the learning process, particularly in mastering the Indonesian language. This study aims to examine the influence of cultural and environmental factors on the academic performance of PMM students at Universitas Muhammadiyah Tangerang, employing a quantitative causal approach. The findings reveal that cultural differences significantly impact learning outcomes due to disparities between students’ home cultures and the host institution’s cultural context. However, environmental factors were found to have no significant effect, as both the sending and receiving institutions provide equally supportive learning environments with qualified educators. Theoretically, this study contributes to a deeper understanding of the role of cultural variables in shaping learning behavior within multilingual and multicultural contexts. Practically, the findings highlight the importance of cultural adaptation programs in student exchange initiatives to enhance academic integration and learning outcomes. Therefore, universities are encouraged to develop orientation and support strategies that are responsive to the cultural diversity of their students.

Abstract

Descriptive writing skills are an essential component of Indonesian language learning. However, many students struggle to express their ideas coherently and clearly. One contributing factor is the lack of contextual and engaging teaching materials. This study aims to develop digital literacy-based teaching materials for descriptive texts to improve the writing skills of seventh-grade students at MTs Zia Salsabila Bandar Setia. The research employed a Research and Development (R&D) method using the ADDIE model, which includes Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation stages. Data collection techniques included expert validation (content, language, and media), questionnaires for students and teachers, and writing tests (pretest and posttest). Data were analyzed using descriptive quantitative methods by calculating percentages and N-gain scores. The validation results indicated that the teaching materials were highly appropriate, with scores of 100% from the content expert, 93% from the language expert, and 90% from the media expert. Practicality was rated as excellent, based on student responses from the small group (91.8%) and large group (94.56%), and teacher responses (96%). The effectiveness of the materials was demonstrated by an increase in the average score from the pretest (56%) to the posttest (89%), with an N-gain score of 0.75, indicating a high level of improvement. These findings show that the digital literacy-based descriptive text teaching materials are effective in enhancing students’ writing skills. The study recommends the use of such materials as an innovative and interactive alternative in Indonesian language instruction.

Abstract

This study explores how language choices and visual styles in political communication serve to reflect candidates’ identities, express ideological narratives, and shape public perception. Utilizing a qualitative approach with ethnographic methods, the research involves participatory observation, in-depth interviews with campaign teams, and analysis of visual campaign materials from local political contexts. Grounded in sociopragmatic stylistics theory, the study examines how verbal and visual elements interact within specific socio-cultural frameworks to construct persuasive political messages. Findings show that the strategic use of local languages and culturally embedded symbols enhances emotional engagement between candidates and constituents. Language that aligns with regional identity fosters trust and relatability, reinforcing the authenticity of the candidate’s image. Visual aspects such as color selection, layout design, typography, and symbolic imagery play a crucial role in reinforcing ideological positioning and constructing coherent public personas. These visual cues often communicate values, aspirations, and affiliations more powerfully than verbal language alone. However, the research also uncovers the potential for dissonance when verbal messages are not visually supported or when visuals contradict spoken rhetoric. Such inconsistencies can weaken the intended message and lead to misinterpretation or distrust among the public. The study’s novelty lies in its integration of ethnographic methodology with sociopragmatic stylistics to examine local-level political campaign communication an area still underexplored in Indonesian political studies. These insights provide valuable implications for academics, political strategists, and communication practitioners in designing more coherent, context-sensitive, and impactful political campaigns that resonate with target audiences.
