This research evaluates errors in the use of Indonesian in non-Indonesian language and literature students' theses, focusing on aspects of spelling, punctuation, use of italics, and writing particles or affixes. Qualitative descriptive methods are used for in-depth text analysis, identifying language errors in various linguistic fields. The findings show that errors in the use of punctuation marks, especially periods and commas, are dominant with percentages of 53.06% and 38.78% respectively. Spelling errors, especially in the affixes "di-" (42.54%) and "ke-" (31.18%), indicate the writer's confusion in separating or combining the affix with the word that follows it. Grammatical errors, especially in the use of prepositions (40.91%) and conjunctions (31.82%), as well as errors in making effective sentences (27.27%). Phonological errors, such as incorrect use of punctuation, can interfere with a reader's comprehension. This shows that students are often influenced by spoken language in academic writing. In addition, spelling and grammatical errors indicate a lack of understanding of correct Indonesian language rules. To overcome this, it requires increasing understanding of grammar rules, consistent writing practice, and reading good written references. In this way, the quality of students' academic writing can be improved, minimizing errors, and increasing effective scientific communication. 

Nowadays technology is developing increasingly rapidly, nowadays gadgets are not only used by adults, but also used by teenagers and children. Humans are very dependent on gadgets, the use of gadgets has become an important part of life. Gadgets can make it easier to access and reach anything. However, gadget addiction is very vulnerable to children. One of the initial factors causing this could be the child's parents, who are willing to give them a gadget just to make their child calm when they cry. This often happens in everyday life and this is the factor that makes children become dependent on gadgets. And another case that makes children dependent on gadgets is because of online games that children like, such as free fire, mobile legend and pubg games.    

The role of prosody and intonation in English phonology has significant implications for speech perception and production. These phonological processes influence how words are understood and articulated in English. Recent studies have shown that prosody and intonation play a crucial role in verbal communication. This article aims to investigate the importance of prosody and intonation in understanding and producing speech in English language learning intonation refers to the melodic pattern in speech that can change the meaning of a sentence. It is often used to convey emotions or to emphasize a message. On the other hand, prosody encompasses the patterns of pitch, stress, and duration in speech that impact word articulation and comprehension. Both work together to create accurate articulation and understanding of words in English this linguistic study underscores the importance of prosody and intonation in English language learning and elucidates how these two aspects influence speech perception and production. With a deep understanding of prosody and intonation, learners can enhance their ability to communicate in English more effectively and accurately.

The purpose of this study is to provide an investigation of affixing sentence mistakes in narrative text essays written by fourth graders. In addition, we want to detail the challenges that both students and instructors have when attempting to convey the concept of affixing sentences to elementary school children. A case study is the research approach that is used. In this study, a descriptive example is used. The 70 participants in this research were drawn from three different classes (A, B, and C) and one larger class (22–24 students) at SD YASPORBI III Jakarta, representing Class IV as a whole. This study used a random sampling approach. Research tools used in this study were observation and interview tools. Observation, interviews, and documentation are the methods used to gather data in this study. There were four steps to the analytic process in this study: gathering data, cleaning it up, presenting it, and making conclusions. Study after study has shown that students retain more information and are more actively involved in their own learning when taught about affixes via the use of narrative process that incorporates anecdotes from real life. Teachers may help children who are still struggling with affix sentence writing by using narrative texts to gather often misused terms, such as capital and lowercase letters, which are connected to spelling and spelling comprehension. Teachers should thus provide their pupils with more support and assistance, whether that's in the form of extra explanations, specific activities, or both. Students have a more engaging and effective learning experience when visuals are used as a medium.

In everyday life, three-dimensional shapes are ubiquitous, manifesting in structures such as houses, bottles, and vehicles. These shapes, characterized by length, width, and height, represent the application of functions of two variables, particularly within spatial domains. This research employs Python programming to model functions of two variables, specifically focusing on spatial surfaces. Leveraging the Matplotlib module, graphical representations of these functions are generated, while the NumPy module facilitates mathematical analyses, including identifying extremal values, critical points, and tangent lines. Results demonstrate the efficacy of Python in efficiently modeling functions of two variables. Through this approach, readers gain insights into the inherent characteristics and behaviors of such functions within spatial contexts, thereby simplifying mathematical analyses and enhancing comprehension.

. This research investigates the correlation between mastery of idiomatic expressions and reading comprehension among tenth-grade students at one of high schools in Way Pengubuan during the second semester of the 2022/2023 academic year. Mastery of idiomatic expressions, which improves through childhood and adolescence into adulthood, is essential for accurate comprehension. Reading comprehension is the ability to extract specific information from texts. The study involved 138 students, with a sample of 64 selected through cluster random sampling. Data were collected via tests comprising 20 items each for idiomatic expression and reading comprehension, ensuring the validity of the test items. Analysis was conducted using SPSS 25.0. The findings revealed a high correlation between students' idiomatic expression mastery and their reading comprehension, with a correlation coefficient of 0.986, indicating a strong relationship. This suggests that proficiency in understanding idiomatic expressions significantly enhances reading comprehension.

This study aimed to identify the effect of cognitive styles (that is, field-dependent and field-independent) on reading comprehension using the SAVI model (somatic, auditory, visual, and intellectual). The 52 students from two classes participated in the study, assigned to experimental and control classes. The experimental class was treated by teaching the SAVI model and the control group was taught conventionally (Teacher Centre). Students in the control and experimental classes were divided into groups based on their cognitive style (dependent versus independent) results on the GEFT (Group Embedded Figure Test). The results of the study indicated that it was about the interaction between cognitive style and reading comprehension. Research results show that there are differences in student reading performance between students using the SAVI learning model and the direct learning model (Teacher Center). There is an important interplay between learning models and students' cognitive styles regarding their ability to comprehend what they read. Among students with subject-independent cognitive styles, those who received the SAVI learning model performed better in reading than those who received the direct learning model. Students in the direct learning model with subject-dependent cognitive styles and reading comprehension perform better than those in the SAVI learning model.
