This study investigates the effect of the Team Word-Webbing technique on reading comprehension among tenth-grade students at MAN Koto Baru, Dharmasraya. Reading comprehension is critical for language acquisition and academic success, as it encompasses the ability to extract and interpret meaning from text. Despite its importance, many students struggle with reading comprehension due to various factors including limited vocabulary and insufficient engagement. To address these issues, the study employed a quantitative experimental design, using a quasi-experimental approach with an experimental group and a control group. The research involved a pre-test and post-test assessment to measure reading comprehension levels before and after the implementation of the Team Word-Webbing technique. The experimental group was taught using this technique, which involves organizing ideas visually to enhance understanding, while the control group received traditional instruction. The sample consisted of two classes selected through purposive sampling, with data analyzed using t-tests to compare outcomes. Results indicated that the Team Word-Webbing technique significantly improved reading comprehension compared to conventional methods. The experimental group demonstrated higher post-test scores, with statistical analysis revealing a significant difference (p < 0.05). This suggests that Team Word-Webbing enhances students' ability to understand and retain reading material by facilitating better organization of ideas and active engagement. In conclusion, the study supports the effectiveness of Team Word-Webbing as an instructional strategy to improve reading comprehension. This technique not only aids in comprehension but also promotes active learning and student interaction, making it a valuable tool for educators aiming to enhance reading skills in the classroom.

This paper aims to discuss the meaning of the message of T-shirts labeled with Balinese terms that are traded as tourist souvenirs in Bali. As a result of qualitative research, research data were obtained through observation, document review, and interviews with several informants of t-shirt consumers as well as observers of fashion and Balinese arts and culture. The data collected were analyzed by communication theory and semiotic theory. The results of the study show that the fashion or form of the t-shirt is a t-shirt without a kra decorated with Latin writing or a Balinese script with artistic and ideological expression motifs. T-shirts labeled Balinese have become part of the creative industry for tourist souvenirs that continues to grow in line with the dynamics of Bali tourism. From the perspective of visual communication, the message of a Bali tourism souvenir t-shirt has the following meanings: (1) introducing Bali tourist destinations, (2) as an expression of the soul of the wearer; (3) introducing group identity, (4) information on a moment of Balinese tradition, and (5) introducing Balinese language and cultural identity to the public. T-shirt tourism souvenirs that introduce Balinese cultural identity need to be continuously developed.

The management of data collection of research activities, community service, and publications that occur at the National University of Karangturi Semarang is still done manually using Microsoft Excel, which still has various problems related to collecting, storing, searching, processing, and presenting data when needed for the accreditation process. Based on these problems, an information system is needed that can accommodate all the problems experienced by users. Therefore, an information system will be developed to manage all data related to research activities, community service, and publications carried out by lecturers and improve the efficiency of data management. System design is one of the stages of developing an information system. Simlitabmas design has two main objectives, namely to fulfill the needs of users and to provide a clear picture to all personnel involved in system development. System design is one of the important steps in a system development in which a visual representation of a series of processes or activities in an institution or organization is made. One of the modeling or design tools that can be used is the Unified Modeling Language (UML). UML helps describe and design systems, especially in object-oriented programming.

This study analyses the use of assertive illocutionary acts in TikTok news produced by Liputan 6 SCTV and explores the news construction strategies within this short video format. In the current digital era, social media platforms such as TikTok play an increasingly important role in information dissemination, particularly among younger and more dynamic audiences. Assertive illocutionary acts, which function to convey information with firmness and confidence, are effectively used in TikTok news to ensure that the messages communicated are clear and unambiguous. This research employs a qualitative approach, using data collection techniques including observation and content analysis, as well as interviews with relevant journalists. The findings reveal that Liputan 6 SCTV utilises engaging visual elements and concise narratives to deliver news effectively within the constraints of short video formats. While this strategy enhances audience engagement, it also presents challenges related to the limited space for in-depth explanation. Comparisons with previous studies indicate that although the approach on TikTok aligns with modern communication trends, there are significant differences in news delivery techniques compared to other platforms such as YouTube or Instagram. This research contributes to illocutionary theory and social media studies by providing insights into the adaptation of language and news format within the dynamic context of social media. Recommendations for future research include exploring the use of illocutionary acts on other platforms and applying mixed-methods approaches to gain a more comprehensive understanding.

Language serves as a medium for interpersonal communication. The acquisition of language in children commences during infancy and progresses through exposure and linguistic maturation. The enhancement of linguistic abilities in early childhood is geared towards acquainting and enhancing their linguistic repertoire, enabling effective verbal interaction with their surroundings. The realm of language proficiency encompasses four key components: listening, speaking, reading, and writing. A method employed to foster linguistic proficiency involves the utilization of flashcards. The approach employed in this study involves a review of existing literature. The findings revealed that the utilization of flashcard materials has the potential to enhance linguistic abilities among young children by incorporating visual elements such as images, alphabets, symbols, and colors. This, in turn, captures the attention of children, facilitates easier retention of new words, enables recognition of letter shapes and sounds, enhances listening skills, promotes critical thinking, and encourages verbal expression, as evidenced by their communication proficiency.
