Structure of Anecdotal Texts by Class X Students of SMK Nu Kaplongan Based on Learning Styles
Writing anecdotal texts is an important language skill that requires students to organize ideas coherently according to the appropriate text structure. Differences in learning styles may influence how students develop and structure anecdotal texts. Therefore, this study aimed to describe the structure of anecdotal texts written by tenth-grade students of SMK NU Kaplongan based on visual, auditory, and kinesthetic learning styles. This study employed a qualitative descriptive approach. The research subjects consisted of three students selected through purposive sampling, each representing a visual, auditory, and kinesthetic learning style. The data comprised linguistic units from students' anecdotal texts, including words, phrases, sentences, and paragraphs that reflected the text's structure. Data were collected through a learning style questionnaire and documentation, and were analyzed using the Miles and Huberman interactive model, which includes data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings revealed that all participants incorporated the full structure of anecdotal texts, comprising abstraction, orientation, crisis, reaction, and coda. However, differences were identified in the way the structures were organized. Visual learners tended to produce more systematic and coherent structures; auditory learners demonstrated relatively complete structures despite some inaccuracies in organizing certain elements; and kinesthetic learners presented complete structures but showed less variation in story development. These findings indicate that learning styles influence the characteristics of students' anecdotal text structures.

Javanese Language Registers in Ling Ling Lieanti’s Content: A Sociolinguistic Study
The rapid development of digital media has encouraged the emergence of content creators who utilize language variation as a communication strategy, including the uses of regional languages. This study aims to describe the forms and meanings of Javanese language registers used in the digital content of Ling Ling Lieanti, a content creator from Semarang known for her distintive Semarangan Chinese-Javanese accent. This research employed a descriptive qualitative method with a sociolinguistic approach. The data consisted of utterances containing Javanese registers obtained from Ling Ling Lieanti's content uploaded on YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok from June 2024 to May 2025. Data were collected through observation, listening, transcription, and note taking techniques, then analyzed using pragmatic and referential equivalent methods including data transcription, identification of lingual units, data classification, analysis of scope of use, and drawing conclusions. The results show that the Javanese registers in Ling Ling Lieanti's content are categorized into linguistics forms consisting of single word forms and complex forms, including affixation, reduplication, compounding, and abbreviation. In terms of usage scope, the registers are divided into restricted and open registers. Furthermore, the meanings identified include lexical, contextual, social, and cultural meanings. The study demonstrates that Javanese language registers function not only as communication tools but also as markers of local identity, humor, social relationship, and cultural representation in digital media.

Illocutionary Speech Act Strategies in Stand-Up Comedy by Indra Jegel and Russell Peters: A Cross-Cultural Pragmatic Perspective
Stand-up comedy is a monologue-based comedy that relies on the use of language as a means of constructing humor and conveying criticism. The use of language can be influenced by cultural backgrounds, which may potentially result in differences in the types and strategies of illocutionary speech acts employed by comedians. This study aims to describe and compare the types and strategies of illocutionary speech acts used by comedians Indra Jegel and Russell Peters from a cross-cultural pragmatic perspective. This research employs a qualitative approach using a case study method. The research data consists of utterances produced by Indra Jegel and Russell Peters containing illocutionary speech acts, obtained from two YouTube channels, namely Stand Up Kompas TV and the Just for Laughs channel. Data collection was conducted through observation and note-taking techniques. The data analysis technique consists of three main stages: data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing/verification. The results of the study indicate that Indra Jegel tends to employ expressive and representative speech acts with varied strategies, while also utilizing nonverbal elements that reflect the characteristics of a high-context culture. Meanwhile, Russell Peters predominantly uses directives and representative speech acts with direct and literal strategies, reflecting the characteristics of a low-context culture. This study demonstrates that differences in the types and strategies of illocutionary speech acts in the stand-up comedy performances of Indra Jegel and Russell Peters are closely related to the cultural communication patterns of their respective countries, as explained through cultural context theory. This research is expected to contribute to the development of cross-cultural pragmatic studies and help society better understand intercultural communication patterns.

Sigmund Freud's Psychoanalysis of the Main Character in the Short Story About the Name Majid Pucuk Works by Agus Khaidir
Short stories often present an in-depth portrait of life through the thoughts, feelings, and behavior of the characters. The short story Ihwal Nama Majid Pucuk presents a story related to the psychological problems of its characters. The main character of the short story experiences both physical and mental conflicts. This study aims to reveal the psychology of the characters in the short story Ihwal Nama Majid Pucuk by Agus Khaidir which is analyzed from the aspects of id, ego, and superego. This study uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive analysis method with a literary psychology approach of Sigmund Freud's theory. The data for this study are in the form of quotations of sentences that represent the psychology of the short story characters. Data were collected through reading and note-taking techniques. Data analysis was carried out by recording/recording data and the analysis process. The results of the study show that elements of id, ego, and superego exist in the short story Ihwal Nama Majid Pucuk by Agus Khaidir. The character Abdul Majid shows a strong balance between emotional drives (id), self-control processes (ego), and moral values he holds (superego). Abdul Majid's id aspect appears in the form of the urge to satisfy feelings of anger, revenge, maintain self-esteem, and the desire to avenge his suffering. The ego aspect is evident through his ability to control his actions, adapt to his social environment, and display rational reactions to various pressures and conflicts. The superego, meanwhile, encourages Abdul Majid to demand a just and moral resolution, rather than resorting to violence. This research is expected to increase readers' interest and motivation in understanding the psychology of characters in literary works, allowing them to learn lessons for real life.

Therefore, the purpose of the study is that the author wants to know the extent to which autistic students are able to articulate phonetic sounds and basic words correctly. In addition, this study also aims to determine the ability of sufferers to understand a concept instructed by the teacher. For this research method, the approach used is a qualitative study. Data collection was carried out by observation, interviews, and documentation of autistic students' speech accompanied by their teachers. Furthermore, the collected data will be analyzed. Data analysis was carried out using a qualitative descriptive method with a psycholinguistic analysis knife of the theory of child language acquisition, production, and use. The results of the study showed that autistic students with the category of being able to learn have better language skills. They can pronounce similar bilabial sounds, such as /p/ and /b/, count, and recognize concepts with instructions although they are still imperfect. Of course, this is caused by the child's lack of focus because there are other things he wants.
Problems of Students' Verbal Speaking Ability in Indonesian Language Learning
Speaking ability is a crucial language skill in learning Indonesian because it plays an important role in the development of students' thinking, communication, and confidence skills. However, the reality of learning shows that students' verbal speaking skills are still relatively low. This study aims to identify the challenges of verbal speaking skills of students of SMP Satu Atap 4 Culamega in learning Indonesian, the factors that cause them, and alternative learning solutions that can be applied. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach. Data collection techniques include learning observations, interviews with teachers and students, and documentation studies on Indonesian teaching materials. Data is analyzed through the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and thematic conclusion drawn. The results of the study showed that students experienced difficulties in mastering active vocabulary, fluency in speaking, and the ability to express ideas orally in the form of monologues and academic dialogues. The findings of the study revealed that low verbal speaking skills are influenced by the limitations of the family language environment, learning methods that are still theory-oriented, and the strong influence of mother tongue. This research provides theoretical benefits for the development of Indonesian language learning studies and practical benefits for teachers in designing more communicative and contextual speaking learning.

The Representation of Ecocentric Discourse in Indonesian Language Textbooks for Junior High School
In the context of an escalating global environmental crisis, this study aims to address the crucial role of language teaching by comparatively analyzing the representation of ecocentric discourse in six official Indonesian junior high school language textbooks under the 2013 and Merdeka Curricula. Employing a qualitative content analysis methodology, the findings reveal a critical deficit of ecocentric content, with only 70 instances identified across all books. A systematic regression was observed, with ecocentric representations decreasing by grade level in both the 2013 Curriculum (from 41 to 9, then 3) and the Merdeka Curriculum (from 14 to 2, then 1). Comparatively, the newer Merdeka Curriculum, with only 17 total findings, exhibits a significant decline from the 2013 Curriculum's 53 findings. The study concludes that this marginalization of environmental discourse is not a reflection of authorial shortcomings but a systemic consequence of a centralized national textbook policy that reduces authorial autonomy. This research contributes a crucial empirical basis for advocating educational policy reform, urging the development of materials that systematically cultivate the ecological literacy required for a sustainable society.

Effectiveness Of Achieving Speech Text Writing Skills with The Circ and Ttw Models Based on Students' Reading Abilities
Of the many writings skills learning, theoretically the most important role in growing and developing the potential of each individual student in an effort to express ideas and concepts in good and correct Indonesian is writing a speech text. So, the right learning model is needed. Thus, there is a purpose of this study, namely, to prove the level of effectiveness of learning to write a speech text using the Cooperative Integrated Reading and Composition model and the Think Talk Write model based on the reading comprehension skills of grade VIII junior high school students. In this study, quantitative research was applied in the form of quasi-experimental design research with the Non-equivalent Pretest-postest Design model. The results of this study state that the Cooperative Integrated Reading and Composition model is more effective to be applied than the Think Talk Write model in learning persuasive speech text writing skills. This can be proven from the results of the Independent Sample T-Test which states a sig value of 0.042. So, it can be interpreted that sig 0.042 <0.05 or a significance value of 0.042 is less than 0.05. So, in accordance with the research basis which states that the Cooperative Integrated Reading and Composition model has a very big influence on students' reading ability which will then have a significant impact on writing skills, in this case the skill of writing speech texts. Meanwhile, the Think Talk Write model does not have a significant influence on students' writing ability because it does not pay attention to students' reading ability levels. The suggestions addressed in this study to teachers, schools, and further research.

The Effect Of The Synectics Learning Model On Students’ Ability To Write Short Stories At Grade VII MTs Pondok Pesantren Al-Muktariah Sungai Dua
This study was motivated by the low ability of students in writing short stories, which was generally limited to simple ideas, incoherent plots, and a lack of conflict exploration. The learning model applied by teachers was still conventional and less effective in encouraging students’ creativity. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of the synectics learning model on students’ ability to write short stories at grade VII MTs Pondok Pesantren Al-Muktariah Sungai Dua. This research employed a quasi-experimental method with a pretest-posttest control group design. The subjects were two classes, with the experimental class taught using the synectics model and the control class taught using a conventional model. The instrument was a short story writing test analyzed through normality, homogeneity, and independent t-test. The results showed that both groups had relatively similar initial abilities, but after treatment there was a significant difference with t = 4.989; p = 0.000. The mean posttest score of the experimental group (76.70) was higher than the control group (67.73). The conclusion is that the synectics learning model has a significant effect on improving students’ short story writing ability. This finding reinforces the theory that analogy and conflict exploration in synectics effectively stimulate creativity, enrich narrative ideas, and enhance students’ motivation to write.

Analysis of the Needs for a Language Learning Model Based on Multiple Intelligences with the Integration of Maluku Culture
Contemporary language learning requires a learner-centered approach that is responsive to cognitive diversity and learners’ cultural backgrounds. This study aims to analyze the needs of students and lecturers regarding the development of a Multiple Intelligences (MI)-based language learning model integrated with Maluku culture. A descriptive-exploratory survey design was employed, involving 108 students and 21 lecturers from the Department of Language and Arts at Pattimura University. Data was collected through a structured questionnaire assessing awareness, preferences, readiness, and the need for institutional support, and were analyzed using descriptive statistics. The findings indicate that students demonstrate a high level of awareness of multiple intelligence, a strong preference for creative, multimodal, and project-based learning, and a positive attitude toward the integration of local culture in language learning. Meanwhile, lecturers exhibit strong support for the implementation of MI-based pedagogy and culturally responsive teaching; however, they still face constraints related to the availability of learning resources and institutional support. These findings underscore the importance of developing a language learning model that contextually integrates multiple intelligences and local culture. Theoretically, this study contributes by integrating the MI approach and culture-based pedagogy within a needs analysis framework, which have often been examined separately. Practically, the findings provide a foundation for the development of more inclusive, contextual, and learner-responsive language curricula and instructional designs.

Analysis of Signs in the Poem "Senja di Pelabuhan Kecil" by Chairil Anwar
The use of abbreviations and acronyms is a common phenomenon in the Indonesian language that has developed since the 1960s, particularly in military contexts. This usage has spread to various fields such as social, political, economic, cultural, and religious areas, making it an essential part of everyday communication in Indonesia. However, excessive and inconsistent abbreviation often leads to confusion. The Arabic language also has abbreviations and acronyms, but their number is far from fewer compared to Indonesian. The main challenge in translating abbreviations from Indonesian to Arabic lies in the differing characteristics of abbreviation formation between the two languages. Abbreviations in Arabic are generally based on root words or specific prefixes, which makes them different from the more flexible abbreviations in Indonesian. This study examines the challenges of translating abbreviations and acronyms in the official speeches of Indonesian President Joko Widodo from Indonesian to Arabic. Data shows that around 40% of translation errors in official speeches are due to incorrect translation of abbreviations and acronyms. A survey of specialized translators reveals that approximately 78% of them face difficulties in translating abbreviations and acronyms from Indonesian to Arabic. This study employs a qualitative method with a descriptive approach to understand and address the challenges in translating abbreviations and acronyms from Indonesian to Arabic.
Magical Realistic Characteristics in the Novel the Miracle of Namiya Grocery Store by Keigo Higashino.
Novel The Miracle of Namiya Grocery Store is a literary work that depicts magical realism through its characters and narrative events. The story presents unique characters and magical phenomena that involve the disruption of time, space, and identity, creating a blend of reality and fantasy. This research focuses on the interactions between the characters and the magical events they experience in the grocery store, which serves as a medium for communication across time. This study applies to a sociological approach to literature, using the theory of magical realism. Data were collected through heuristic semiotic reading and analyzed using hermeneutic semiotic reading. The results reveal six main characteristics of magical realism: irreducible elements, a phenomenal world, disturbing doubts, the fusion of realism and magic, the disruption of time and space, and a moral message conveyed through magical events. Magical elements—such as the letter from the past—serve as a subtle yet powerful way to convey moral values such as empathy, hope, forgiveness, and solidarity. This research concludes that magical realism not only enriches the story aesthetically but also deepens its moral impact. This study is expected to support literary learning, inspire further research on local magical traditions, and assist educators in developing materials that enhance students' critical thinking skills.

Surface Strategy Taxonomy of Language Errors in Students’ Observation Report Texts
This study analyzes language errors within the surface strategy taxonomy found in observation report texts written by tenth-grade students of class X.2 at SMAN 6 Tambun Selatan. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach, the data were collected from writing assignments completed by 32 students as representative samples. The focus of this study is to identify four types of errors based on Tarigan’s theory (2021): omission, addition, misformation, and misordering. The results of the analysis reveal a total of 26 identified errors. These findings consist of 8 omission errors, 12 addition errors, 3 misformation errors, and 3 misordering errors. The most dominant type of error is addition, with 12 instances. This indicates that students tend to use words excessively or redundantly, which results in sentences that are less coherent and less efficient. Overall, this study describes how students’ limited understanding of linguistic rules affects the quality of their factual writing in composing observation reports.

Exploring The Needs Of Junior High School Teachers And Students In The Development Of Digital Modules For Writing Non-Literary Texts Based On Local Culture
Writing instruction at the junior high school level requires the availability of modules that are aligned with the curriculum, relevant to the cultural context, and in line with developments in digital technology. Some of the teaching materials used in writing instruction are still conventional and do not integrate local cultural values or optimal digital features. This situation indicates a gap between the needs in the field and the availability of interactive and contextual teaching materials. This study aims to explore the needs of teachers and students in developing digital modules for writing non-literary texts based on local culture as a basis for developing innovative writing modules in junior high schools. The method used is a qualitative approach with data collection techniques through interviews, questionnaires, and documentation studies analyzed using triangulation. The participants in this study consisted of Indonesian language teachers and junior high school students. The results of the study indicate that teachers and students need writing modules that are interactive, accessible online, communicative, and equipped with step-by-step guides. Another important finding is the need for local cultural content that can foster creativity and a sense of belonging to regional identity. The novelty of this research lies in the development of digital modules that integrate local cultural content to foster students' creativity in writing and their appreciation of local cultural values. This finding emphasizes the importance of developing modules that are tailored to the needs of users. This research contributes to the study of contextual digital module design and writing learning innovation in the era of digital literacy.

The Process-Based Differentiated Short Story Writing Instruction Model (PDSSW) was developed to address students’ learning difficulties in learning to write short stories. The development of the model considered students’ individual characteristics as well as the stages of the writing process. This study aimed to develop and examine the effectiveness of the PDSSW model in improving students’ writing skills. This study employed a Research and Development (R&D) method based on the Borg and Gall model and was conducted at the senior high school level. Data was collected through observations, questionnaires, and assessments using pre-tests and post-tests. The PDSSW model consists of eight instructional syntax stages. The effectiveness of the model was tested using a paired-samples t-test and the N-Gain score. The results showed a significant improvement in students’ writing skills, with the average post-test score increasing from 73,42 to 89,16. These findings indicate that the PDSSW model is an effective instructional model that not only enhances writing skills but also promotes creative thinking. This model contributes to the development of knowledge in the field of writing instruction through the integration of a process-based approach and differentiated learning, while also providing practical benefits for teachers, curriculum developers, and educational stakeholders in improving the quality of literacy instruction. More broadly, this model contributes to the strengthening of literacy culture, the development of students’ creativity, and the enhancement of language competencies that are relevant to societal needs and educational challenges.
