Abstract

This study explores the optimization of speaking abilities among Business Management students through the implementation of English as a Medium Instruction (EMI). With the increasing global demand for effective communication skills in the business environment, enhancing students' speaking proficiency is important. This study employed qualitative research in which the data was collected using an observation checklist for Business Management students, especially in the class of IV MB 6. Results indicate that EMI not only improves students' confidence in speaking but also enhances their fluency and overall communicative competence. Furthermore, the study highlights the importance of interactive teaching strategies and real-world applications in fostering an engaging learning environment. Students are encouraged to speak English in groups or respond the other speaker as they move through the material. Students practice language skills in context through discussions and projects, which improves their comprehension of the material and their ability to communicate ideas in English. The findings suggest that EMI can be an effective pedagogical tool in developing essential speaking skills for future business leaders.

Abstract

Children’s literature reflects how societies teach younger generations moral reasoning, empathy, and cultural identity. Over the past two decades, global children’s literature has undergone significant shifts in theme and form, reflecting broader social and technological changes. This study examines the evolution of ethical functions, representation, and narrative media in children’s literature across three phases: 2001–2009, 2010–2019, and 2020–2025. Using a qualitative comparative design and reflexive thematic analysis, the research examines award-winning and internationally circulated works to identify shifting values and patterns in storytelling practices. Findings indicate that the literary works of the early 2000s, dominated by fantasy and dystopia, deliver the moral laboratories where young readers practiced ethical judgment within imagined worlds. The 2010s redirected this focus toward realism, inclusion, and social participation, highlighting the rise of own-voices authors and multimodal formats such as verse and graphic novels. In the 2020s, children's literature has increasingly engaged with real-world crises—pandemics, racial justice, climate anxiety, and mental health—transforming stories into tools for recovery, empathy, and digital literacy. Across these three periods, children’s literature moves from imagining moral choices to enabling real ethical action, from representing diversity to institutionalizing it, and from textual storytelling to interactive, cross-media experiences. This evolution demonstrates that children’s literature is no longer a passive reflection of cultural change but actively shapes global empathy and civic awareness among young readers.

Abstract

Mobile Assisted Language Learning (MALL) adalah pendekatan dalam pembelajaran Bahasa Inggris yang memanfaatkan teknologi mobile seperti smarthphone dan tablet. Kemampuan Bahasa Inggris (English Skill) yaitu speaking, listening, reading dan writing dapat dilatih dengan pendekatan tersebut, yaitu melalui berbagai aplikasi MALL yang tersedia dan dapat diamanfaatkan secara gratis. Namun, masih banyak mahasiswa yang kurang memiliki pengetahuan  tentang banyakmya aplikasi yang tersedia dan cara penggunaan aplikasi-aplikasi tersebut dalam meningkatkan skill Bahasa Inggris. Sehingga kegiatan ini perlu dilaksanakan agar mahasiswa dapat memanfaatkan MALL secara maksimal. Kegiatan ini dilaksanakan   dengan metode workshop yang diikuti oleh 20 orang peserta mahasiswa Prodi Manajemen Bisnis Jurusan Administrasi Bisnis Politeknik Negeri Manado. Hasil dari kegiatan ini yaitu memberikan dampak positif kepada peserta yaitu menambah wawasan dan pengetahuan tentang pemanfaatan aplikasi berbasis MALL yang ada. Peserta tidak hanya mendapat pengetahuan teori namun melakukan praktik langsung dengan pendampingan oleh tim pengabdian.
