The Influence of Communication Culture on the Breadth of General Knowledge and Reading Comprehension of Students

Abstract

This systematic literature review examines whether the culture of daily communication in the surrounding environment affects the breadth of general knowledge and reading comprehension of elementary school students. By synthesizing findings from various studies over the past 7 years using google scholar and scopus data banks, this review aims to identify the patterns of everyday communication used in the surrounding environment that contribute to the general knowledge that a child has and the development of reading skills. The literature search process in this study is to determine keywords, search for sources using the publish or perish application, answer questions about keywords, and select relevant articles. After classifying the 24 literatures obtained, the results of the study have not found specific research that answers the topic they want to know. This review highlights the role of the home environment in contributing to the breadth of general knowledge and communication practices as an effort for students to gain language exposure. Based on the search for literature studies, discussions on this topic can be followed up.
