Efforts to Improve Students' Literacy Levels through the Establishment of a School Editorial Team at SMK IT Napala, Bogor, West Jawa

Abstract

This study aims to explain efforts to improve students' literacy levels through the formation of a school editorial team. A descriptive qualitative method was employed, using analysis and interviews as primary techniques. The object of this research was the literacy level of students at SMK IT Napala, Bogor, West Java. The findings show that the establishment of the editorial team encouraged students to become actively involved in literacy activities, particularly in the production of short story or novel anthologies. Through these activities, students were motivated to read in order to gain sufficient knowledge to write their own stories or novels. This study concludes that students' literacy levels can be improved through productive activities that stimulate students to create. Their productivity in writing drives them to read and comprehend various sources of information.
