Abstract

Using a quantitative methodology, this study examined the effects of academic achievement, student motivation, and engagement on the use of technology in English language instruction at a high school in North Sumatra, Indonesia. A sample of 200 students was examined using Structural Equation Modeling with Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) in order to investigate the relationship between academic achievement, student engagement, motivation, and technology integration. The findings showed a strong correlation between academic performance, motivation, and engagement with technological integration. A mediation analysis revealed how important student motivation and engagement are in bridging the gap between technology and academic achievement. The results of the bootstrapping study were more reliable, and the proposed model's explanatory strength and predictive significance were highlighted by the R2 and Q2 values. There includes a discussion of the implications for English instruction, along with some helpful suggestions and directions for further investigation.

Abstract

Filsafat adalah landasan pengetahuan dan merupakan teori tentang pendidikan. Salah satu aspek praktis dari teori ini adalah pendidikan. Karena hubungan ini, filsafat berfungsi sebagai dasar untuk semua aspek Pendidikan. Filsafat analitik menggali dasar-dasar teori setiap ilmu. Khususnya, filsafat analitik berkonsentrasi pada analisis logika bahasa sehari-hari dan pembentukan sistem bahasa buatan. Suatu pola berpikir analisis-sintesis yang didasarkan pada langkah-langkah tertentu (metode ilmiah/penelitian) menghasilkan pemikiran analitis. Filsafat bahasa sangat penting dalam mengembangkan ilmu bahasa. Fokus filsafat bahasa ini adalah ungkapan bahasa yang memiliki arti. Karena peran filsafat bahasa dalam perkembangan bahasa, banyak kata baru, sinonim, struktur kalimat, singkatan (akronim), dan kaidah muncul. Ini semua karena ilmu pengetahuan saat ini semakin berkembang dan banyak paradigma baru muncul. Bahasa adalah subjek yang menarik untuk penelitian filsafat.

Abstract

Despite the critical role of personality in academic success, schools frequently overlook the unique needs of introverted students in EFL classrooms, where tailored instructional strategies can significantly improve their engagement and understanding. This study builds on prior research that primarily examined speaking instructions, highlighting the overlooked instances of introversion in various skill-specific classrooms. It examined the pedagogical strategies employed by teachers in a classroom with introverted EFL learner minority. The primary objective of this study is to identify the challenges faced by the teachers, the various strategies they employed to accommodate the unique learning needs of introverted EFL learners in the context of English language learning, as well as the effectiveness of the strategies from the perspectives of the teachers. Employing a qualitative research design, this study utilized purposive sampling to select the participants and collected the data through interviews with three English teachers at MTsN 1 Mandailing Natal. The findings revealed that during the instructional process, the teachers encountered several challenges in effectively engaging with introverted learners, which include the introvert EFL learners’ lack of interest in engaging in the class activities and their limited mastery of vocabulary. The findings also disclosed a set of strategies that can support introverted learners, including modeling, small-group discussions, game-based instruction, autonomous study, and peer teaching. All participants expressed positive perceptions regarding their learners’ experiences teaching introverted learners, suggesting the effectiveness of these strategies in enhancing the motivation of introverted learners and achieving educational objectives. The study highlights the imperativeness for educators to thoughtfully consider diverse characteristics of introverted students to foster their motivation within the classroom environment by exerting considerable effort to stimulate engagement from introverted EFL learners within the classroom setting.

Abstract

AbstrakKegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini bertujuan membekali Putera-Puteri Pariwisata Mandailing Natal 2023 dengan keterampilan berkomunikasi dalam bahasa Inggris yang diperlukan untuk secara efektif berkontribusi pada pengembangan pariwisata dan promosi budaya lokal. Kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat ini juga bertujuan untuk memotivasi para peserta untuk mengevaluasi kemampuan berbahasa Inggris mereka, mengidentifikasi tantangan dalam pembelajaran bahasa Inggris, menemukan solusi, serta merumuskan misi dan visi mereka dalam upaya peningkatan kemampuan berbahasa asing dan promosi budaya lokal. Rangkaian pengabdian terdiri dari tiga tahapan, yaitu penilaian mandiri dan pengisian umpan balik terbuka, presentasi materi, serta evaluasi kegiatan. Hasil penilaian mandiri menunjukkan bahwa mayoritas peserta memiliki preferensi untuk berkomunikasi secara lisan dalam bahasa asing dibandingkan secara tertulis, dengan rasa tidak percaya diri dan kompleksitas tata bahasa Inggris di antara tantangan utama yang dihadapi peserta dalam meningkatkan keterampilan mereka. Melalui pemaparan materi tentang peranan dan manfaat bahasa Inggris sebagai lingua franca beserta tips dan trik belajar dan mengatasi kesulitan belajar, peserta mampu merumuskan dan mempresentasikan upaya-upaya yang akan mereka tempuh dalam meningkatkan kemampuan bahasa asing dan mempromosikan budaya dan pariwisata lokal Mandailing Natal. Tiga peserta dengan presentasi terbaik berdasarkan rubrik penilaian presentasi kemudian dipilih. Hasil evaluasi kegiatan, selain menunjukkan tingkat kepuasan yang tinggi dari peserta terhadap pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini, juga menggarisbawahi perlunya dukungan berkelanjutan dalam program-program yang memberdayakan individu muda untuk menjadi duta budaya yang efektif, sehingga memastikan pelestarian dan promosi warisan budaya Mandailing Natal untuk generasi mendatang. Kata kunci: putera puteri pariwisata; mandailing natal; budaya lokal; bahasa inggris; lingua franca. AbstractThis community service initiative aimed to equip the 2023 Mandailing Natal Tourism Ambassadors with the English communication skills needed to effectively contribute to tourism development and promote local culture. The program also sought to motivate the participants to evaluate their English proficiency, identify challenges in learning English, find solutions, and establish their mission and vision to improve their foreign language skills and promote local culture. The series of activities consists of three stages, which include self-assessment and open feedback, material presentation, and program evaluation. The self-assessment results showed that most participants prefer oral communication in a foreign language over written communication, with lack of confidence and English grammar complexity being the main challenges they face in improving their skills. Through a presentation on the role and benefits of English as a lingua franca, as well as learning tips and strategies for overcoming language-learning difficulties, the participants were able to formulate and present their planned efforts to improve foreign language skills and promote Mandailing Natal’s local culture and tourism. Three participants with the best presentations, based on a presentation rubric, were then selected. The program evaluation results, besides showing a high level of participant satisfaction, also highlighted the need for ongoing support in programs that empower young individuals to become effective cultural ambassadors, thereby ensuring the preservation and promotion of Mandailing Natal’s rich cultural heritage for future generations. Keywords: tourism ambassadors; mandailing natal; local culture; english; lingua franca.
