Abstract

Writing is one of the most essential and challenging skills in English language learning because it demands creativity, organization, and linguistic accuracy. Among various text types, descriptive text plays a crucial role in helping students express ideas clearly and vividly by describing people, places, or objects in detail. However, many students still face difficulties in generating ideas, organizing sentences, and using appropriate vocabulary. This study aimed to analyze gender based teaching strategies employed by male and female English teachers in teaching descriptive text and how these strategies are implemented in the classroom. The study employed a qualitative descriptive method. The participants were five English teachers at MTsN 1 Lombok Tengah, consisting of three males and two females. The data were collected through classroom observation and interviews and analyzed using data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The results revealed that each teacher applied distinct strategies. Male teachers used guided writing, imaginary strategy, and visual learning to stimulate creativity and provide structural support, while female teachers used modified vocabulary instruction and collaborative learning to strengthen linguistic readiness and promote peer interaction. Drawing on the findings, it can be concluded that although male and female English teachers demonstrated different emphases in their teaching, both aimed to facilitate students’ descriptive writing development, boost confidence, and encourage active participation through supportive and interactive learning environments.

Abstract

ABSTRAK Emosi diketahui berdampak langsung atau tidak langsung pada kesehatan manusia secara umum, terhadap kinerja seseorang, capaian pembelajaran, termasuk juga motivasi dalam melakukan sesuatu. Dalam konteks studi pascasarjana, hal yang sering menjadi penyebab lambatnya mahasiswa menyelesaikan studi adalah tidak cepat tuntasnya penelitian dan penulisan tesis mereka. Penelitian-penelitian yang telah dilakukan tentang penyebab lambatnya penyelesaian tugas akhir berupa tesis ini adalah karena sering munculnya pemicu emosi negatif oleh pihak-pihak yang secara langsung terlibat kegiatan akademik di kampus, yang selanjutnya berdampak pada kelancaran pengerjaan tugas dimaksud. Lebih khusus lagi, penelitian yang dilakukan tim pengabdian ini baru saja menyelesaikan penelitian yang mengidentifikasi faktor-faktor pemicu emosi mahasiswa selama mengerjakan tesis dan bagaimana pengaruhnya terhadap pengerjaan tesis mereka. Tentu kegiatan ini akan sangat penting untuk memberikan informasi kepada pihak terkait, yang selanjutnya akan menimbulkan kesadaran untuk dapat membantu mencegah timbulnya emosi negatif dan membantu munculnya emosi positif mahasiswa yang nantinya mempercepat selesainya tugas akhir mahasiswa di program Magister Pendidikan Bahasa Inggris. Disamping kontribusi pragmatis bagi mahasiwa di Program Studi tempat pengabdian ini dilakukan, luaran lain yang diharapkan adalah terdiseminasinya program pengabdian ini pada jurnal nasional atau prosiding internasional. ABSTRACT Emotions are known to have a direct or indirect impact on human health in general, affecting an individual's overall performance, learning achievements, and motivation in various activities. In the context of postgraduate studies, a common factor contributing to students' delayed completion is the slow progress of their research and thesis writing. Research on the reasons for the sluggish completion of final tasks, such as theses, reveals that a significant cause is the frequent emergence of negative emotional triggers from those directly involved in academic activities on campus, subsequently disrupting the smooth progress of these tasks. More specifically, a recent study conducted by this service team has just wrapped up research identifying the emotional triggers experienced by students while working on their theses and how these triggers influence the progress of their thesis work. This endeavor is crucial for providing information to relevant parties, fostering awareness, and helping to prevent the occurrence of negative emotions while promoting the emergence of positive emotions among students. This, in turn, expedites the completion of students' final tasks in the Master's Program in English Education. In addition to the practical benefits for students in the Program where this service is conducted, another expected outcome is the dissemination of this service program in national journals or international proceedings.

Abstract

ABSTRACTA paraphrasing strategy instruction model has been developed through a research and development method. The developed model is called the 3RI (Read, Rewrite, Revise, Integrate) paraphrasing strategy instruction model. This is a part of the research and development, which is aimed at evaluating the effectiveness of the developed model. For evaluation, the field testing was carried out in the English study program at the University of Mataram. Seventy-five students who were taking academic writing courses were involved in this study. To evaluate the effectiveness of the developed model, the students self-assessed before and after having been treated using the 3RI paraphrasing strategy instruction model. After the treatment, the students were asked to fill in the questionnaire, which covered statements about the students' responses toward the instruction with the developed model. The results indicated a significant difference between the student's scores in the self-assessment before and after the treatment. Further, the students generally responded positively to the treatment with the developed model. The 3RI paraphrasing strategy instruction model can be one of the ways to help students avoid plagiarism and develop their creativity and critical thinking skills. ABSTRAKSebuah model instruksi strategi perparafiran telah dikembangkan melalui metode penelitian dan pengembangan.

Abstract

QuillBot is one of the online programs that can be utilized to enhance students’ writing skills. By integrating the paraphrasing tool QuillBot into the writing instruction, this study aimed to examine the effectiveness of QuillBot paraphraser on the students’ paraphrasing ability. Additionally, this study sought to find out the students' opinions on paraphrasing and on the use of QuillBot in paraphrasing. Adopting a mixed method with explanatory design, this study employed quasi-experimental research with a one group pretest posttest design. There were 44 fourth-semester students taking the Academic Writing course in the English study program at the University of Mataram participating in this study. The students’ paraphrasing ability was tested before and after the treatment with both manual paraphrasing instruction and QuillBot paraphrasing tool. While, the students’ opinions towards paraphrasing instruction integrating the QuillBot paraphrasing tool was discovered through questionnaire. Further, the collected data were analyzed quantitatively and qualitatively to answer the predetermined research objectives. The results of t-test showed that there was a significant difference between the students’ paraphrasing ability before and after the treatment with significance value 0.000 lower than 0.05. In addition, most students responded positively to the integration of QuillBot in paraphrasing instruction, as it not only improved their literacy skills but also their motivation in learning paraphrasing in which the use of QuillBot paraphraser is simple, easy, instant and time-saving. This study highlights and confirms the potential of AI tools like QuillBot to enhance language instruction. Other reseachers might compare the efficacy of QuillBot paraphraser to other automatic paraphraser in writing instruction and use both questionnaire and interview to obtain more detailed information about the students’ attitudes or opinions.

Abstract

The purpose of the study is to find out the students’ perceptions on Printed and Digital reading materials at MTs Nurul Haramain and to know which type of reading materials is more preferred by those students. This research applied mixed method with sequential explanatory design. Out of 5 classes at MTs Nurul Haramain, 1 class (class A which consist of 30 students) was chosen purposively because of the students in this class used both printed and digital reading material more frequently than other classes. To collect the data needed, questionnaire and interview were used. The data obtained from questionnaire were analyzed quantitatively in the form of percentages and those data obtained from observation and interviews were analyzed qualitatively through data condensation, data display and conclusion drawing/verification. The result of this research showed that the students were in neutral stance toward printed reading materials. There was some recognition of their advantages, such as ease of reading and focus, there was no overwhelming preference. About half of the students were in neutral stance regarding the use of printed materials for various activities, with a slight inclination towards agreement on their benefits for assignments. Further, the students hold a neutral view toward digital reading materials. Some of them appreciated their practicality, most of them remain indifferent or hesitant, particularly when they used it for assignments and exam preparation. Despite recognizing certain benefits, many students still preferred or leaned toward traditional printed materials because they recognized certain benefits of this type of learning materials and they were more uncertain or had mixed feelings about the advantages of digital formats. ABSTRAK Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui persepsi siswa terhadap bahan bacaan Cetak dan Digital di MTs Nurul Haramain dan mengetahui jenis bahan bacaan mana yang lebih disukai oleh siswa tersebut. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode campuran dengan desain eksplanatif sekuensial. Dari 5 kelas di MTs Nurul Haramain, 1 kelas (kelas A yang terdiri dari 30 siswa) dipilih secara purposif karena siswa di kelas ini lebih sering menggunakan bahan bacaan cetak dan digital dibandingkan kelas lainnya. Untuk mengumpulkan data yang diperlukan digunakan kuesioner dan wawancara. Data yang diperoleh dari kuesioner dianalisis secara kuantitatif dalam bentuk persentase dan data yang diperoleh dari observasi dan wawancara dianalisis secara kualitatif melalui kondensasi data, display data, dan penarikan kesimpulan/verifikasi. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa siswa bersikap netral terhadap bahan bacaan cetak. Ada beberapa pengakuan atas kelebihannya, seperti kemudahan membaca dan fokus, tidak ada preferensi yang berlebihan. Sekitar setengah dari siswa bersikap netral mengenai penggunaan bahan cetak untuk berbagai kegiatan, dengan sedikit kecenderungan menyetujui manfaatnya untuk tugas. Selain itu, siswa mempunyai pandangan netral terhadap bahan bacaan digital. Sebagian dari mereka mengapresiasi kepraktisannya, sebagian besar masih acuh tak acuh atau ragu-ragu, terutama ketika digunakan untuk tugas dan persiapan ujian. Meskipun menyadari adanya manfaat tertentu, banyak siswa masih lebih memilih atau condong ke bahan cetak tradisional karena mereka menyadari manfaat tertentu dari bahan pembelajaran jenis ini dan mereka lebih ragu atau memiliki perasaan campur aduk mengenai manfaat format digital.

Abstract

ABSTRACT The purpose of this research is to find out the students’ perceptions of using social media in learning English as a foreign language (EFL). The descriptive qualitative method and the random sampling technique were used in this research. The participants in this research were third-semester students of the English Education Department at the University of Mataram, and the instruments used were questionnaires and interviews. The result of this research showed positive perceptions. The positive perception is that they think social media are helpful and make it easy to learn English because social media are easy to access anywhere and everywhere, and the negative perception is that students think social media are effective but sometimes often create misunderstandings. Kinds of social media that students often use are YouTube, Instagram, and WhatsApp. Those applications are chosen because of their popularity and their ability to provide an endless amount of English input to them. The ways students use social media to learn English are by communicating with their friends to practice their language or joining the English group from their account, watching videos, listening to songs in English, and they also follow some accounts to learn English. The last advantage, after using social media to learn English, is to improve their English skills, especially vocabulary, grammar, etc. The challenges identified are truthfulness/or validity of information from social media, and the frequent distracting content that makes students forget their original intent of learning when using the social media.
