In the development of learning, it is very important to consider the characteristics of students to choose the appropriate approach in the learning activities. Teaching staff as the organizer of learning activities are required to seek the interaction of learners with other components of the learning system optimally. This research reveals about the efforts to improve student learning outcomes in the course by applying case study method strategy. The selection and application of learning strategy of the case method in learning course and learning Evaluation is conducted in accordance with the characteristics of the Learning Evaluation course itself which requires thinking skills and interaction skills from the students to understand the materials contained therein. The method used in this research is classroom action research. The results showed that the implementation of case study method strategy can improve learning outcomes in the course of Evaluation of Learning. This is evident from the increasing percentage of students in the eight aspects observed from both cycles carried out in the action of this study. This fact is supported by the result of t test statistic test where obtained tct = 7,17 while ttable price = 1,682 so it can be interpreted that applying of case study method strategy can improve learning result of learning course lesson.

Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL) concerns three metafunction meanings: clause as message, clause as exchange, and clause as representation. This article tries to analyze anding-andingen, one of oral tradition in Karo culture. The points of this paper are only two kinds of metafunctions could be applied to anding-andingen: clause as message and clause as representation. The clause of exchange could not be applied to anding-andingen since anding-andingen is an Adjunct form so it does not have the potential to be Subject; Therefore, it cannot be upgraded to an interpersonal status of capital responsibility. Anding-andingen form cannot be categorized as a clause because at the semantic level, although its form resembles a clause, but is used to describe a person's nature or condition. In using anding-andingen, if the clause is preceded by a nominal group of Subject and followed by anding-andingen as a prepositional phrase or adverbial group, the textual function will be Rheme, but if the clause begins with anding-andingen, it will be Marked Theme.
