Penggunaan Fitur Talkback di Smartphone untuk Meningkatkan Kemampuan Menyimak Cerpen Siswa Disabilitas Netra Kelas IX

2026-09-12T13:12:29+00:00

This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of the TalkBack feature on Android smartphones in improving short story listening comprehension among visually impaired ninth-grade students at SLB-A YAPTI Makassar. A two-cycle Classroom Action Research (CAR) approach was employed, each comprising planning, implementation, observation, and reflection. Seven visually impaired students participated via total sampling. Data were collected through pre-tests and post-tests based on seven listening indicators, participatory observation, semi-structured interviews, and documentation. Findings indicate: (1) TalkBack effectively improved listening comprehension, with the class mean rising from 90.71 (pre-test) to 95.14 (Cycle II) and the highest individual gain reaching 17.33%; (2) obstacles were primarily technical-adaptive during Cycle I but declined significantly after intensive mentoring in Cycle II; and (3) student responses evolved from initial hesitation to positive acceptance marked by improved motivation, independence, and confidence. These findings confirm that mobile-based accessibility technology is an effective and inclusive alternative learning medium for students with special needs.

Analisis Penanda, Petanda, dan Nilai Tanda pada Lirik Lagu “Sedia Aku Sebelum Hujan” Karya Idgitaf: Perspektif Ferdinand de Saussure

2026-10-02T01:32:56+00:00

Song lyrics are texts that use linguistic signs to convey ideas and emotional experiences. This study aims to identify signifiers and signifieds, to explain the relations between signs that form the value (valeur) of their meaning, and to describe the implications for Indonesian language and literature teaching. The object is the lyric text of “Sedia Aku Sebelum Hujan” by Idgitaf, released on 8 October 2025. The study uses textual semiotic analysis assisted by qualitative content analysis. The corpus consists of six lyric sections (25 lines) and yields 29 sign pairs. The analysis follows four steps: identifying signifiers, determining lexical and contextual signifieds, analysing oppositional, syntagmatic, and associative relations, and interpreting value; meaning categories were formed inductively after the signs were mapped. Data trustworthiness was maintained through peer debriefing and an audit trail. The results show that 17 sign pairs are oppositional (13 explicit and 4 implicit), 19 are syntagmatic, and 16 are associative. These relations form seven categories of meaning, namely care, readiness, protection, support, acceptance, attachment, and commitment, arising among others from opposed pairs such as dingin (cold) and hangat (warm) and from the replacement of payung (umbrella) with aku (I) in the proverb sedia payung sebelum hujan. The temperature figures show motivation at the level of usage, but this does not invalidate the principle of arbitrariness in the relation between signifier and signified in the language system. The novelty of this study is limited to the analysis of relations between signs in a song previously studied through semantics, morphology, figurative language, pragmatics, and critical discourse analysis. The findings can serve as an example of teaching material for analysing lyrics and poetry in Indonesian language and literature classes.

Praktik Multilingualisme Anak Usia Dini dalam Konten Youtube Ueno Family Japan: Kajian Psikolinguistik

2026-09-27T15:46:33+00:00

Multilingual practices among young children are increasingly common in multilingual families and play an important role in language acquisition development. This study aims to describe the stages of Ritsuki's language acquisition, the forms of multilingualism employed, and language dominance in daily communication as observed in content from the "Ueno Family JAPAN" YouTube channel. The research subject is Ritsuki, a child from an Indonesian-Japanese mixed family. A descriptive qualitative approach was adopted, with data derived from Ritsuki's speech in three purposively selected videos from the "Ueno Family JAPAN" channel, collected through observation, listening and note-taking, documentation, and video transcription, then analyzed through data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results, based on an analysis of 24 speech data, indicate that Ritsuki is in the "simple sentence stage," characterized by the use of simple sentences to convey questions (7 data), commands (1 data), refusals (1 data), and information (1 data). The forms of multilingualism identified include Indonesian (9 data; 37.5%), Japanese (5 data; 20.8%), English (1 data; 4.2%), and code-mixing between Indonesian and Japanese (9 data; 37.5%). Indonesian emerged as the most dominant language in Ritsuki's speech, particularly in communication with the mother (Umma), with Indonesian-language elements present in 75% of all data when combined with code-mixing instances. These findings confirm that a multilingual environment and the intensity of language exposure from family members play a significant role in the diversity of children's language use. From a psycholinguistic perspective, this study offers insights into the relationship between language acquisition, syntactic development, and multilingual practices in young children growing up in a multilingual family environment, while also carrying implications for parents and educators in supporting children's optimal language development.

Pengembangan Flipbook Cerita Rakyat Brebes Berbantu Artificial Intelligence untuk Meningkatkan Literasi Budaya dan Kewargaan Siswa

2026-09-17T04:18:57+00:00

This study was motivated by the low level of cultural and civic literacy among fourth-grade students at MI Muhammadiyah Langkap, Brebes Regency, and the limited availability of engaging, contextual local-culture-based teaching materials. This study aimed to produce a flipbook of South Brebes folktales assisted by artificial intelligence and to determine its validity, practicality, and effectiveness in improving students' cultural and civic literacy. The novelty of this study lies in the integration of artificial intelligence into the illustration and script development process of South Brebes folktales, an approach not yet explored in previous flipbook development research. This study employed the Research and Development (R&D) method with the 4D model (Define, Design, Develop, Disseminate). The subjects were 24 fourth-grade students, with data collected through observation, questionnaires, and documentation, then analyzed using percentage analysis, normality tests, paired sample t-tests, and N-Gain tests. The results showed the flipbook was categorized as highly valid by media, material, and language experts with an average of 91.1%, and highly practical based on student responses at 93.5%. The paired sample t-test showed a significance value of 0.000 (< 0.05), reinforced by an average N-Gain of 65.04%, categorized as effective. Therefore, the artificial intelligence-assisted flipbook of South Brebes folktales is valid, practical, and effective as a learning medium to improve elementary students' cultural and civic literacy.

2026-09-14T19:15:20+00:00

This study aims to describe the application of the Picture and Picture model in improving news text writing skills and fostering nationalism character among grade VII students of SMP Negeri 4 Alla, Enrekang Regency. The study used a Classroom Action Research (CAR) approach following the Kemmis & McTaggart model, conducted in two cycles. The subjects were 29 grade VII students. Data were collected through news writing tests and student activity observation sheets, analyzed using descriptive quantitative techniques. The results showed consistent improvement: pre-cycle average 76.01 (65.51% completion), Cycle I 78.03 (72.4%), Cycle II 79.55 (79.31%). Student activity improved from 60% to 93.33%. Nationalism character developed positively in students' writing. Thus, the Picture and Picture model is proven effective in improving news text writing skills while fostering nationalism character.

Analisis Jenis dan Fungsi Frasa dalam Buku Cerita Anak Asal-Usul Burung Hantu Karya Prima Duantika

2026-09-28T04:14:04+00:00

His study aims to describe the types and functions of phrases in the children's story book Asal-Usul Burung Hantu by Prima Duantika through a syntactic approach. The analysis is grounded in the theory of the phrase in structural Indonesian syntax, which views the phrase as a non-predicative grammatical unit consisting of two or more words that does not cross functional boundaries, with categories classified by their head element and a framework of syntactic functions comprising subject, predicate, object, and adverbial. The method used in this research is descriptive qualitative with a syntactic perspective. The data were collected through observation, note-taking, and documentation techniques on all phrases found in the story text, and the classification was verified through inter-rater checking and theoretical triangulation. The results show that there are 921 phrases consisting of noun phrases (45.6%), verb phrases (25.8%), adjective phrases (10.4%), adverbial phrases (6.3%), prepositional phrases (8.9%), and numeral phrases (3.0%). In terms of syntactic function, predicate functions dominate with 278 data, followed by subjects (246), adverbials (224), and objects (173). The dominance of noun phrases indicates that children's story texts tend to use concrete and simple nominal constructions, while the dominant sentence pattern is Subject-Predicate-Object-Adverbial. The findings offer two contributions. Theoretically, they show that the category-function relation of phrases holds consistently in a children's folktale corpus, and they supply a quantitative phrase profile that can serve as a point of comparison for syntactic studies of other children's texts. Practically, this profile can be used by teachers and teaching-material developers as a basis for levelling reading materials and for designing lessons on phrases and sentence patterns in primary school.

Konstruksi Kritik Ilmiah terhadap Wacana Bahasa dan Sastra Digital dalam Perspektif Ahlussunnah Wal Jamaah

2026-09-21T02:48:02+00:00

The development of digital language and literature has introduced new dynamics in communication practices that are not only linguistic but also ideological and social, thus requiring critical analysis grounded in Islamic values. This study aims to identify the characteristics of digital language and literary discourse and to construct a scientific critique based on the perspective of Ahlussunnah Wal Jamaah. This research employs a qualitative approach with a critical discourse analysis design applied to 30 digital texts collected from social media, blogs, and online literary works. The results indicate that digital language is dominated by informal expressions, abbreviations, symbols, and expressive styles that support the culture of virality, while digital literature evolves in forms such as digital poetry, online short stories, and thread-based narratives that are interactive in nature. Furthermore, two main tendencies are identified in digital discourse, namely constructive (60%) and destructive (40%) discourse. From the perspective of Ahlussunnah Wal Jamaah, values such as tawasuth (moderation), tawazun (balance), tasamuh (tolerance), and i’tidal (justice) are present, although their implementation is not yet optimal. Therefore, a scientific critique grounded in Islamic moderation values is necessary to foster more ethical, balanced, and responsible digital discourse.

Bentuk dan Faktor Penyebab Kesalahan Berbahasa dalam Komentar Media Sosial X @TEMPODOTCO: Kajian Psikolinguistik

2026-09-29T10:33:36+00:00

The development of social media has changed the way people communicate, including on the platform X, giving rise to various language errors that have rarely been examined in depth from the perspective of their underlying causes. This study aims to describe the forms of language errors and analyze the factors underlying them in social media comments on X account @tempodotco through a psycholinguistic approach. This study employs a descriptive qualitative method, with data consisting of user comments and replies on a post about President Prabowo Subianto's speech during his working visit to Nganjuk, analyzed using a language error classification covering the phonological, morphological, syntactic, and semantic levels, and linked to the stages of language production, namely conceptualization, formulation, articulation, and monitoring. The results show that phonological errors are related to disruptions at the articulation stage, morphological and syntactic errors to disruptions at the formulation stage, and semantic errors to disruptions at the conceptualization stage, while disruptions at the monitoring stage are cross-categorical and reinforce the emergence of all these error types. These findings confirm that language errors in digital communication spaces are not random deviations, but rather a systematic reflection of disruptions in the mental process of language production, while also addressing the gap in previous research that had not linked forms of language errors to their underlying causes. This study is limited to comment data from a single post, so it's more of a case study and doesn't yet represent the general language error patterns across all comments on the @tempodotco account.

Transformasi Nilai Aswaja dalam Narasi Sastra Digital sebagai Media Pendidikan Karakter: Suatu Tinjauan Pustaka Naratif

2026-10-01T10:17:35+00:00

This article aims to explain the transformation of Ahlussunnah wal Jama’ah (Aswaja) values in digital literary narratives and their relevance as a medium for character education. The study employs a qualitative approach using a narrative literature review of 21 academic articles published between 2022 and 2026 that discuss Aswaja values, digital literature, digital storytelling, and character education. The corpus was retrieved through academic search engines, Zenodo, ResearchGate, and Academia.edu, verified against publishers’ official pages, and analyzed through qualitative content analysis comprising data reduction, thematic categorization, and critical interpretation. The conceptual synthesis indicates that tawassuth, tawazun, tasamuh, i’tidal, and ta’awun can be transformed into digital narratives through three primary mechanisms: the representation of characters and conflicts, interactive reading, and the multimodality of text, visuals, and audio. This medium not only provides linear moral education but also fosters reflective, dialogic, and participatory learning aligned with digital literacy. In the context of character education, this medium potentially fosters attitudes of moderation, empathy, responsibility, and social awareness when combined with appropriate themes, language, and reflective activities. Thus, the transformation of Aswaja in digital literature is presented as a contextual pedagogical strategy to connect the tradition of moderate Islam with the 21st-century learning environment. The proposed framework is conceptual in nature and remains open to empirical validation in future research.

Peningkatan Kemampuan Membaca Cerita Pendek Melalui Strategi Pembelajaran Berbasis Diskusi Kelompok Pada Siswa Kelas IX

2026-09-13T02:58:39+00:00

This study aims to improve the short story reading ability of ninth-grade students at SMP Negeri 18 Makassar through a group discussion-based learning strategy. The research employed Classroom Action Research (CAR) using the Kemmis and McTaggart model, which was conducted in two cycles. Each cycle consisted of four stages: planning, action implementation, observation, and reflection. The subjects of the study were 23 students, comprising 9 male and 14 female students. The research instruments included a short story reading ability test based on seven indicators of intrinsic elements, teacher and student activity observation sheets, interview guidelines, and documentation. In the initial condition (pre-cycle), the average score of the 15 students who were present was 89, with a classical mastery rate of 65.2%. In Cycle I, the average score of the 23 students decreased to 72, with a mastery rate of 43.5%, which was attributed to the students' adaptation to the new learning strategy. In Cycle II, following improvements in the learning process, the average score increased significantly to 84, with a classical mastery rate of 87%, exceeding the target of 85%. Student activity also improved from the Fair category in Cycle I to the Very Good category in Cycle II. Therefore, the group discussion-based learning strategy was proven to be effective in improving the short story reading ability of ninth-grade students at SMP Negeri 18 Makassar.

Fungsi Merendahkan dalam Interaksi Formal: Analisis Pragmatik Tuturan pada LCC MPR RI Kalbar 2026

2026-09-29T11:22:31+00:00

This study examines the function of derogation, namely the pragmatic interpretation of utterances that diminish the appreciation of and threaten the face of other parties, in formal interactions during the 2026 Provincial Level of the Four Pillars of the MPR RI Quiz Competition (Lomba Cerdas Cermat/LCC Empat Pilar MPR RI) in West Kalimantan. The primary data consist of the master of ceremonies’ (MC) utterance, “Mungkin itu hanya perasaan adik-adik saja” (“Maybe that is just how you feel”), which occurred when participants protested the reduction of their scores by the jury. The objectives of this study are (1) to identify the forms and illocutionary functions of utterances within the interaction sequence, (2) to analyze the function of derogation through the principles of politeness, face-threatening acts, and impoliteness, and (3) to analyze power relations in language use. These three objectives are consistent with the research questions and remain unchanged throughout the manuscript. This study employs a descriptive qualitative approach, using data obtained from one official video uploaded to the iNews Terkini YouTube channel and cross-verified against six independent news reports. The data comprise one episode, 29 utterance units, and 14 units selected for analysis. Data were collected through non-participant observation, recording, and note-taking techniques, and were subsequently analyzed using the Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña model. The analytical framework employs Searle’s classification of speech acts as the primary theoretical framework, supported by Leech’s politeness principles, Brown and Levinson’s face theory, Culpeper’s concept of impoliteness, and Fairclough’s discourse-power analysis. The results reveal nine utterances with assertive illocutionary force and five with directive force. The main utterance (D8) is classified illocutionarily as an assertive and, within the context of this episode, is interpreted as potentially functioning as a derogatory utterance because it frames the participants’ objection as a subjective feeling, diminishes their appreciation, and threatens their positive face within an asymmetrical power relationship. This claim is limited to the single episode examined and is not generalized. The study concludes that a formal context does not automatically guarantee politeness and that competition organizers require communication guidelines for responding appropriately to participants’ objections.

Kritik Sastra Siswa terhadap Cerpen Filosofi Kopi Karya Dewi Lestari dalam Pembelajaran Bahasa Indonesia di SMP Unismuh Makassar

2026-10-01T00:13:42+00:00

Literature learning in junior high school can provide opportunities for students to understand, interpret, and respond critically to literary works. One such activity is written literary criticism, which connects interpretation with textual evidence and relevant reasoning. This study aimed to describe the characteristics of students’ literary criticism of Dewi Lestari’s short story Filosofi Kopi (2006) in Indonesian language learning at SMP Unismuh Makassar. The study employed a qualitative descriptive approach. The participants were 30 eighth-grade students selected through purposive sampling. The primary data consisted of 30 students’ written literary criticism, while classroom observation, interviews, and documentation were used as supporting data. The data were analyzed using the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldana through data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing and verification. The findings show that the students’ written criticism was distributed across the very good, good, fair, and poor categories, with 12 students (40.0%) classified as good and 8 students (26.7%) as very good. The aspects most frequently criticized were theme (93.3%), social values (90.0%), characterization (86.7%), and moral values (86.7%), whereas language was the least frequently criticized aspect (56.7%). In terms of argumentation, all students (100.0%) were able to express opinions or interpretations, 80.0% provided logical reasons, 73.3% included textual evidence, and 70.0% drew conclusions. These findings indicate that students’ written criticism demonstrated interpretive and argumentative responses to Filosofi Kopi, although the use of textual evidence, attention to linguistic aspects, and construction of conclusions were not yet consistent across the students’ writings.

Pola Penggunaan Gawai yang Dilaporkan Keluarga dan Respons Tutur Anak Usia Tiga Tahun: Studi Kasus Psikolinguistik

2026-10-11T10:47:29+00:00

This study describes the family-reported pattern of gadget use and the forms of verbal responses of a three-year-old child with indications of speech delay from a psycholinguistic perspective. A qualitative approach with a descriptive case study design was employed. The subject was selected purposively, namely a three-year-old child with indications of limited speech and long daily gadget use according to parental reports. Data were collected through participant observation, structured interviews with the parents, and video recordings of interactions. The unit of analysis was the question–answer episode, consisting of one question or offer from the researcher and the child’s response. Ten episodes were coded on three separate dimensions: presence and modality of response, number of words, and phonological processes. According to the parents, the child used a gadget from waking up until bedtime, mainly to watch YouTube; this duration was not measured in a structured way. Of the ten episodes, five contained verbal responses, one contained a gestural response, and four showed no observable response. All five verbal responses consisted of a single word, and three of them showed phonological processes, namely sound substitution, syllable deletion, and consonant cluster reduction. All six observed responses were relevant to the questions, but these data do not constitute a standardized measure of receptive ability. This pattern is consistent with previous findings on reduced two-way verbal interaction under high screen exposure, but it does not demonstrate that gadget use caused speech delay in this child.

Kesantunan Berbahasa sebagai Strategi Etis dalam Praktik Jurnalistik Digital: Kajian Sosiopragmatik

2026-09-16T04:16:40+00:00

The transformation of the digital media ecosystem has compelled journalism to adapt to platform logic, audience metrics, and fast, interactive communication patterns. This study aims to examine how linguistic politeness is realized in digital journalistic practice and to explain its function as an ethical strategy in news production and presentation on digital platforms. This study employs a descriptive qualitative approach with a sociopragmatic perspective through a systematic synthesis of 21 relevant studies published between 2018 and 2024, sourced from Google Scholar, Scopus, and DOAJ databases, selected based on strict inclusion criteria encompassing topic relevance, journal indexation, and methodological quality. The findings indicate that politeness in digital journalism functions as a communicative mechanism that maintains social relations, protects the dignity of news subjects, preserves media credibility, and upholds professional responsibility. The study identifies four dominant politeness strategies: linguistic mitigation (38.1%), balanced attribution (28.6%), epistemic modality (19.0%), and contextual euphemism (14.3%). These percentages reflect the proportion of studies in the 21-article corpus reporting each strategy as the most dominant one. Linguistic politeness functions as a mediating strategy between platform engagement needs and journalistic ethics principles. Based on these findings, this study proposes an integrative three-level sociopragmatic-journalistic model (micro-meso-macro) as an analytical framework for assessing digital news communication quality.
