“…Of course, it needs to be realized that the teacher's communication strategy can also depend on the student's abilities. Recognizing the diversity of students' learning abilities, that some students appear to be more advanced than others, has led to studies of various aspects of language learning and teaching strategies (Pazaer & Assaiqeli, 2023).…”

Abstract: In 2020, the world was enlivened by the coronavirus outbreak or Corona Virus Disease 2019 (Covid-19) phenomenon. This causes various sectors to experience changes, one of which is in the education sector, which shows a decline. This is an opportunity for teachers to improve the quality of education that has declined. Therefore, teachers are expected to be able to determine how efficient communication strategies are in the learning process to increase educational effectiveness. The purpose of this writing is to find out the communication strategies of SD N Percobaan 4 Wates teachers in the learning process. The research method used is descriptive qualitative, with data obtained from observations and interviews with SD Negeri Percobaan 4 Wates teachers and documentation of research supporting books and other materials by research studies. The results of this study reveal that teachers used a lighter specific curriculum strategy, PowerPoint, and ice-breaking techniques to increase students' concentration power. With the results of this research, it is hoped that teachers or readers in the same field will be able to determine the appropriate communication strategy so that learning can proceed with efficient communication.

“…Although studying reader response to comics is a growing field within scholarship about K-12 classrooms (Sun, 2017; Lewkowich, 2019; Dallacqua, 2020; Pazaer and Assaiqeli, 2023), Jacobs and Low (2017) assert that less scholarly attention has been given to the way comics are used in postsecondary and teacher education classrooms (p. 232). Jacobs and Low remind teachers of the importance of using comics “to invite teacher learners – at any stage of their professional development – to explore sensitive or disputed topics pertinent to their school contexts” (p. 232).…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore teacher candidates’ response to young adult literature (prose and comics) featuring fat identified protagonists. The paper considers the textual and embodied resources readers use and reject when imagining and interpreting a character’s body. This paper explores how readers’ meaning making was influenced when reading prose versus comics. This paper adds to a corpus of scholarship about the relationships between young adult literature, comics, bodies and reader response theory. Design/methodology/approach At the time of the study, participants were enrolled in a teacher education program at a Midwestern University, meeting monthly for a voluntary book club dedicated to reading and discussing young adult literature. To examine readers’ responses to comics and prose featuring fat-identified protagonists, the author used descriptive qualitative methodologies to conduct a thematic analysis of meeting transcripts, written participant reflections and researcher memos. Analysis was grounded in theories of reader response, critical fat studies and multimodality. Findings Analyses indicated many readers reject textual clues indicating a character’s body size and weight were different from their own. Readers read their bodies into the stories, regarding them as self-help narratives instead of radical counternarratives. Some readers were not able to read against their assumptions of thinness (and whiteness) until prompted by the researcher and other participants. Originality/value Although many reader response scholars have demonstrated readers’ tendencies toward personal identification in the face of racial and class differences, there is less research regarding classroom practices around the entanglement of physical bodies, body image and texts. Analyzing reader’s responses to the constructions of fat bodies in prose versus comics may help English Language Arts (ELA) educators and students identify and deconstruct ideologies of thin-thinking and fatphobia. This study, which demonstrates thin readers’ tendencies to overidentify with protagonists, suggests ELA classrooms might encourage readers to engage in critical literacies that support them in reading both with and against their identities.
