The development of digital media has changed the pattern of public communication, including in delivering persuasive messages. This study aims to analyze the rhetorical strategies used by Ferry Irwandi in a YouTube video entitled How To Be a Good Storyteller. This study uses a qualitative descriptive method through observation and content analysis techniques.

The results of the study show that Ferry Irwandi consistently integrates these three elements in delivering his narrative. He builds ethos through personal experience, activates pathos with a relaxed and familiar language style, and composes logos sequentially and systematically. This study concludes that classical rhetorical strategies remain relevant and effective in increasing the persuasive power of communication in the digital era.

ANALISIS KOMPARATIF CINTA MENURUT TEORI TRIANGULAR ROBERT STERNBERG DALAM THE GREAT GATSBY DAN TENGGELAMNYA KAPAL VAN DER WIJCK

Fathullah Wajdi, Sahrul Syawal, Suryadi Ishak — Sun, 30 Nov 2025 16:18:34 +0700

Sternberg's Triangular Love theory (1986) is used to examine love's intricacy in The Great Gatsby (Fitzgerald, 1925) and Tenggelamnya Kapal Van Der Wijck (Hamka, 1939). The imbalance of passion, closeness, and commitment and culture's impact on relationships are the primary issues. Comparing the three components in Western and Eastern civilizations was the goal. We employed qualitative textual analysis to analyze important quotes and storylines from both novels. Results: (1) Gatsby-Daisy has illusory desire without intimacy or actual commitment, while Zainuddin-Hayati has normative commitment and repressed passion. (2) Individualistic and communal cultures regulate the imbalance. The analysis shows that societal pressures and love imbalances cause the catastrophic conflicts in both works. This work advances Sternberg's theory in comparative literary analysis.

The Merdeka Curriculum emphasizes learning flexibility, student differentiation, and character development through the implementation of the Pancasila Student Profile. In this context, textbooks play an essential role as a medium for shaping values, knowledge, and skills. Literary works in Indonesian language learning function not only as reading materials but also as media for developing moral and aesthetic sensitivity. This study aims to analyze the literary content in the Grade VIII Indonesian language textbook of the Merdeka Curriculum and its relevance to the six dimensions of the Pancasila Student Profile. Using a qualitative approach and content analysis method on two short stories and eight poems, the results show that 53 out of 184 pages (28.80%) contain literary materials. The literary texts contribute to fostering students’ sense of humanity, faith, and creativity. The most dominant dimensions represented are “Faith in God Almighty and Noble Character” and “Creativity,” while “Mutual Cooperation” and “Global Diversity” are less represented.

Language reflects the culture and identity of a community, including in the naming of places that hold historical and social value. This study aims to describe the meaning, cultural value, and local identity in the naming of tourist attractions in the multicultural city of Semarang. Using a qualitative descriptive method with a narrative approach in line with interviews and online data searches, this study analyzes names such as Lawang Sewu, Sam Poo Kong, Kota Lama, Blenduk Church, Kauman Mosque, and Ronggowarsito Museum based on their lexical and associative meanings. The results show that place naming not only functions as a geographical marker but also reflects the history, cultural acculturation, and local wisdom of the people of Semarang. Thus, place naming in Semarang becomes a symbol of the integration of language, culture, and local identity that shapes the city's unique character.

Fahman Nur Faizi, Titin Nurhayatin, Irfan Rifai — Sat, 20 Dec 2025 08:16:14 +0700

This study explores the implementation of Problem-Based Learning (PBL) supported by Dart Board media in teaching anecdotal text writing to develop students’ creative thinking skills. The research aims to describe both the instructional process and the impact of PBL with Dart Board media on students’ anecdotal writing. A qualitative research design was employed, involving classroom observations, interviews, and document analysis conducted in one senior high school in Padalarang. The participants consisted of 31 students. Data were analyzed through data reduction, display, verification, and cyclical coding across two instructional cycles. The findings indicate that the application of PBL assisted by Dart Board media positively influenced the learning process, as reflected in increased student participation, greater diversity of ideas, and improved originality in students’ anecdotal texts. However, the study also identified challenges, particularly the extended instructional time required for effective implementation. These findings suggest that while PBL integrated with interactive media has strong potential to enhance creative writing skills, careful consideration of time management and classroom space is essential to maximize its effectiveness. Overall, this study supports the use of interactive and problem-based instructional strategies to foster creativity in writing instruction

The development of information technology has transformed the landscape of language education, making the Online Great Dictionary of the Indonesian Language (KBBI) a vital digital lexicography tool. This study aims to analyze the role, usage patterns, and limitations of the Online KBBI as a lexical reference source for students of the Indonesian Language and Literature Education Study Program (PBSI). This study uses a qualitative descriptive method with purposive sampling techniques on students who actively use the Online KBBI for academic purposes. The results show that the Online KBBI plays a strategic role as a validator of word standardization, spelling, and meaning in scientific writing. However, significant limitations were also found related to network accessibility, delays in updating new terms, and definitions that are sometimes too concise for in-depth analysis. Therefore, optimization is needed through routine integration in learning and digital literacy training so that the Online KBBI is not only used for quick searches, but also as a comprehensive language learning medium.
