The aim of this research is to explore and evaluate the effectiveness of using mini vlog as a medium to improve English speaking ability in students. By leveraging the visual, audio, and contextual advantages of mini vlog, it is expected to provide a more engaging and effective learning experience. Finding out whether mini-vlog significantly improves students' speaking abilities is the main goal of this research. The nature of this study is exploratory. Fifteen students make up the study group. Class of Dharma Patra P. Berandan at the Vocational School as a population, a total of 140 pupils from 5 classes makes up the basic population. Classes XI TKJ and Multimedia (XI) were selected as examples for this study, along with an experimental group and a control group. Data was analyzed using the speaking exam. Prior to receiving therapy, students in both groups took a pretest, and following treatment, they took a posttest. Compared to the pre-test average of 59.50, the post-test average was 77.25. The end consequence was a 1.3% increase rather than a rise. Several reasons make this more difficult, such as mistakes made by researchers and students and students not following the therapy methods as planned. The results show that students' speaking abilities are improved by using tiny vlog videos in the classroom, and there is no discernible difference between the two groups.

DIFFERENCES IN CHARACTER REPRESENTATION AND SYMBOLISM IN THE FILMS 'PENGANTIN IBLIS' AND 'PENGANTIN SETAN' 2025: A STUDY OF LITERATURE AND POPULAR CULTURE

juliantina, nudia yultisa — Fri, 25 Jul 2025 00:00:00 +0700

This study examines the differences in character representation and symbolism in the 2025 Indonesian horror films Pengantin Iblis and Pengantin Setan, analyzing how each film engages with themes rooted in literature and popular culture. As contemporary reimagining of traditional horror tropes, both films present unique portrayals of evil, femininity, and the supernatural, reflecting Indonesia’s evolving cultural and spiritual landscape. Through a comparative analysis of visual storytelling, character construction, and symbolic elements, the research highlights how each film embodies distinct interpretations of folklore, myth, and religious belief. The study draws upon literary theory, semiotics, and cultural studies to investigate how narrative structures and symbolic imagery communicate broader societal anxieties, particularly those concerning gender roles, moral boundaries, and spiritual transgression. Pengantin Iblis leans toward a more traditional and ritualistic portrayal of evil, Pengantin Setan incorporates modern horror aesthetics and psychological tension, revealing a shift in audience expectations and cultural discourse. By situating these films within the framework of Indonesian popular culture and literary heritage, the study reveals how horror cinema continues to serve as a powerful medium for negotiating identity, tradition, and modernity. This research contributes to the growing field of Southeast Asian film studies and deepens understanding of Indonesia’s rich narrative traditions in contemporary media.
