Abstract

This study investigates grammatical errors in the use of Simple Past and Past Continuous tenses among veterinary vocational students in comic strip writing tasks. Grammatical competence plays a crucial role in effective communication; however, many English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners experience difficulties in applying tense forms consistently in contextualized writing. The aim of this study is to identify the types and patterns of errors produced by students and to examine how comic strip tasks function as a medium for revealing learners’ grammatical competence. The study employed a descriptive qualitative design with quantitative support using an error analysis approach. The data were collected from students’ written dialogues in veterinary-themed comic strips and analyzed based on error classification frameworks. The findings reveal that tense inconsistency is the most dominant error pattern, particularly the shift between past and present forms within the same narrative. In addition, students demonstrated confusion in verb form selection, limited ability to use Past Continuous meaningfully, and difficulties in sentence structure, especially in question formation. The results also indicate that comic strip writing serves not only as a learning medium but also as an effective diagnostic tool for identifying authentic grammatical weaknesses. Overall, the study suggests that grammar instruction in ESP contexts should emphasize contextualized and meaningful language use rather than isolated rule memorization.

Abstract

The global construction sector, particularly the production of concrete structures, is a major contributor to carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. Portland cement alone is responsible for 10% of global emissions. In response to this sustainability issue, this research aims to develop green concrete through the partial substitution of cement using fly ash and fine aggregate with steel slag, based on the similarity of the chemical composition of these industrial wastes to concrete materials. The research focuses on two objectives: producing a concrete mix formula that meets the compressive strength standard of 21 MPa and comparing CO2 emissions level. The experiment was conducted in the laboratory in accordance with SNI 7656:2012, involving the fabrication of 24 cylindrical test specimens with three variations of fly ash substitution (10%, 15%, 20%) and steel slag substitution (20%, 15%, 10%). The 28-day compressive strength test results showed that all variations exceeded the strength of conventional concrete (22.29 MPa). Specifically, Variation II (15% fly ash, 15% steel slag) achieved optimal performance with a compressive strength of 24.91 MPa. In addition to its mechanical advantages, this optimal variation also reduced carbon emissions by 15%. These findings highlight the great potential of utilizing industrial waste in producing strong and environmentally friendly concrete.
