<p>This paper explores the use of interlingual subtitle as a media in teaching reading skill in one of private high schools in Surakarta. This research was initially conducted as the teachers found problems in teaching genres of texts, especially explanation text. Interlingual subtitle which is placed in videos is offered by the researchers as a solution and expected to help students in understanding the content of explanation text. This research uses classroom action research method with two cycles. The objectives of this research are to find out: 1) the implementation of interlingual subtitle in teaching explanation text, and 2) the impacts of interlingual subtitle on students’s achivements. The subjects of this research are 33 students of social science class and 33 students of natural science class. It is found out that interlingual subtitle can be used as a supplementary material in teaching explanation text. Interlingual subtitle has also contributed positively to the increasing scores of the students during the pre-test to the post-test.</p><p> </p>

This study examined how social opportunity structure influences identity exploration and commitment of Albanian high school students. A total of 258 students completed a questionnaire that gauged their identity exploration and commitment in three domains: education, occupation, and family. ANOVA results indicated that, overall, students scored highest in exploration in the domain of education and in commitment in the domain of family. Students' exploration and commitment were linked to gender. Albanian female students scored higher than male students in exploration and commitment regarding education and family. Perceived work opportunities in Albania or abroad also significantly moderated participants' exploration in the domain of education and were associated with commitment in education and occupation. As one of the first studies to explore Albanian youth's identity development in relation to social opportunity structure, findings are discussed in light of furthering the field of Albanian adolescent and youth development.
