Dina Agustriani — 2025-12-25

The ability to write explanatory texts is a crucial component of Indonesian language learning at the junior high school level. One of the common challenges is students’ low performance in organizing ideas and structuring texts coherently. This study aims to examine the effectiveness of the Artificial Intelligence-based media Google Gemini in improving students’ ability to write explanatory texts. The research employed a quantitative method with a quasi-experimental design using a one-group pretest-posttest model. The sample consisted of one class, namely class VIII-A of SMPN 3 Sodonghilir, with a total of 32 students. Research instruments included a writing test and a student motivation questionnaire. Data were collected through written tests and analyzed using the Wilcoxon Signed Ranks Test and simple regression analysis. The results showed a significant improvement in scores from a pretest average of 28.97 to a posttest average of 87.97, with a significance value of 0.000. Regression analysis indicated that learning motivation did not significantly influence learning outcomes, with a significance value of 0.492. Google Gemini proved to be an effective tool for enhancing students’ ability to write explanatory texts.

ANALISIS SEMANTIK KONTEKSTUAL: PERBANDINGAN TERHADAP SINONIM KATA LOOK DAN WATCH PADA NOVEL BABEL KARYA R.F. KUANG

Muhoiriah Muhoiriah — 2025-12-25

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji persamaan dan perbedaan kata look dan watch dari segi struktur dan makna kalimat, serta menguji apakah kedua kata tersebut dapat saling menggantikan dalam kalimat. Data penelitian diperoleh dari novel Babel karya R.F. Kuang dengan pendekatan deskriptif kualitatif dan analisis semantik kontekstual menggunakan teori sinonimi dari para ahli. Teknik pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui baca-catat kalimat yang mengandung kata look dan watch, kemudian dianalisis secara mendalam dari aspek bentuk kata, makna menurut kamus Oxford Languages, serta teknik substitusi sinonim. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa look lebih sering digunakan untuk tindakan melihat singkat atau penampilan, umumnya disertai preposisi dan berfungsi sebagai verba atau nomina. Sebaliknya, watch menggambarkan pengamatan aktif dengan durasi lama sebagai verba transitif atau nomina tertentu. Substitusi antara look dan watch tidak selalu menghasilkan kalimat yang tepat secara struktur dan makna, sehingga keduanya masuk kategori sinonim sebagian (near-synonyms) yang hanya dapat dipertukarkan dalam konteks terbatas. Penelitian ini memberikan kontribusi pada pemahaman semantik kata sinonim dalam karya sastra modern.

Agustina Ramadhianti — 2025-12-25

Through Norman Fairclough's Critical Discourse Analysis or CDA approach, the current research analyzes how words and sentences are used in the film Crash Out. This research aims to highlight three areas of analysis, namely textual dimensions, discourse practices, and social practices, which are used in this qualitative descriptive research. Direct cinema analysis and voice transcriptions containing temporal, symbolic, and ideological content were used to gather data. In addition to information gathering, language aspects such as diction, coherence, irony, and pauses in speech were also observed. The findings illustrated how language was used to build narrative tension, demonstrate control over power, and change the way time was perceived in the film Crash Out. The main character was supported by a symbolic power structure constructed through linguistic features such as temporal repetition and time metaphors. Besides being a tool for interpersonal interaction, language functions as a control mechanism, a delay mechanism, and a technique for framing reality. In the film Crash Out, the power of words is crucial in creating complex social, political, and psychological connotations, based on research findings.

Monica Heraldine — 2025-12-25

The purpose of this qualitative descriptive research was to identify the expressive illocutionary acts and the functions theorized by Searle & Vanderveken and Leech in film “Captain America the First Avenger”. An observational method was used in this study's data collection process, which involved watching the film. Since it was not a direct participant in the conversation, practical technique used in this research was non-participant technique. This study employed data reduction to reduce redundancy in data analysis and the pragmatic identity method in the equalizing procedure. In terms of how the research findings were presented, it used an informal method that was connected to the words and sentences used to describe the findings. Thirteen expressive illocutionary acts were found. The actions include welcome, lament, praise, boast, protest, condole, apologize, congratulate, thank, complain, complement, deplore, and greet. The act of complain was the dominant act because the characters frequently display sentiments of unease, melancholy, and disappointment to their conversation partners. The research served four functions, thus are convivial, collaborative, competitive, and conflictive. Therefore, the characters' most common function was convivial. The reason is that the things they said had social goals in them, such as saying hello, welcoming, thanking, and celebrating.

Aidil Fitra Amanda — 2025-12-25

Listening comprehension is one of the essential skills tested in the TOEFL Paper-Based Test (PBT), and the Mini Talks section is often considered the most challenging. Students must concentrate on fast-paced monologues containing dense information and answer several questions at once. Observations and interviews revealed that many students failed to capture key details, lacked strategies to filter important information, and struggled to handle multiple questions within a short time. Based on these problems, this study aimed to describe the students’ listening ability and identify the difficulties they faced when answering Mini Talks questions in the TOEFL PBT. This study used a descriptive quantitative method. The participants were 16 eighth-semester students of the English Education Department at Universitas Mahaputra Muhammad Yamin, Solok, in the 2024/2025 academic year. Data were collected using a listening test focusing on the Mini Talks section, and the students’ scores were analyzed to determine their average performance and the easiest and most difficult question types. The results showed that the students’ average score in the Mini Talks section was 47.7, categorized as “fair.” The easiest question type was purpose (68.8%), while the most difficult was attitude and opinion (34.4%). The findings indicate that students had the most difficulty interpreting tone, making inferences, and identifying key information from audio played only once. This study suggests the need for more targeted listening practice and effective teaching strategies to improve students’ performance in the TOEFL PBT listening section.

ANALYSIS OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE ABILITY TO IDENTIFY MAIN IDEAS OF AURAL TEXTS AND INDONESIAN LANGUAGE LEARNING OUTCOMES

Salwa Naofalia — 2025-12-25

Listening skills, particularly the ability to identify main ideas in aural texts, constitute an important foundation in Indonesian Language learning at elementary schools, yet their relationship with student learning outcomes has not been extensively explored empirically. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between the ability to identify main ideas in aural texts and Indonesian Language learning outcomes among fourth-grade elementary school students. The study employed a quantitative correlational approach involving 30 fourth-grade students. Data were collected through multiple-choice written tests to measure the ability to identify main ideas in aural texts and documentation of final semester summative scores. Data analysis used the Spearman Rank correlation test due to non-normal data distribution. The results showed that students' ability to identify main ideas in aural texts was in the good category with an average of 83.27, as well as Indonesian Language learning outcomes with an average of 83.633. There was a significant positive relationship with moderate strength between the ability to identify main ideas in aural texts and Indonesian Language learning outcomes (rs = 0.523; p = 0.003). The contribution of the main idea identification ability variable to learning outcomes was 27.35 percent. The research implies the importance of developing systematic listening learning strategies to improve overall Indonesian Language learning outcomes
