“…Additionally, it enhances skills such as vocabulary development (Pardede, 2011: 23-24). The stages of writing a short story must be adapted in more detail and according to the storyline for readers to accept the explosive power and superiority of local stories closely related to their lives (Korte and Lojo, 2019).…”

Short story writing is one of the skills that must be mastered by students of the Indonesian Language Education Study Program. One of the determining success factors is the presence of a comprehensive reference source. This research aimed to facilitate the short story writing learning, lecturer, and students by using the digital book as a reference. This study discussed the improvement of short story writing skills using a digital book based on local wisdom for the Indonesian Language Education Study Program students. With the help of digital book media, various types of local wisdom could be incorporated into the short story writing. A quantitative method was employed to describe the findings regarding the use of digital books in short story writing. The technique used in the effectiveness test was the paired samples t-test. The findings focused on the effectiveness of short story writing learning using a digital book compared to a printed book in terms of increasing student creativity. Both significance test results obtained values below 0.05, indicating a significant difference between the results of short story writing in the pre-test (control group) and post-test (experimental group) data.

In a context of manmade global warming, ecological destruction and species extinction, posthumanist scholars have advocated moving beyond the anthropocentrism that determines western thinking in favour of an embedded and embodied interspecies relationality. If these remain fairly abstract notions in the work of critics such as Donna Haraway and Rosi Braidotti, contemporary short fiction provides many interesting examples of these alternative forms of being and becoming. The short story seems especially suited to exploring this decentring of the human subject, given its own status as a liminal, ‘minor’ or ‘humble’ genre and its long tradition of exploring human–animal relations in animal stories. This article demonstrates how contemporary short stories by Lauren Groff, Claire-Louise Bennett, Sarah Hall, Sara Baume and Louise Ehrdrich stage a profoundly biocentric perspective by moving beyond animal stories’ traditional modes of the fabular and the figural towards a realistic depiction of our creaturely existence in experiences that may be at once empowering and terrifying.
