Abstract

English speaking proficiency is a critical skill in both academic and professional contexts, especially for English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners. Traditional language instruction, which often emphasizes grammar and writing, frequently fails to develop learners’ speaking fluency and confidence. This study investigates the effectiveness of Project-Based Learning (PBL) in enhancing English-speaking skills among first-semester Informatics students at the tertiary level. Grounded in constructivist and communicative language teaching theories, PBL emphasizes real-world communication, collaboration, and learner autonomy. Using a descriptive method, students participated in a one-month instructional project that culminated in video presentations, assessed across five key speaking indicators: comprehension, grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, and fluency. After a one-month PBL intervention, it was shown that 20% of students reached the highest proficiency level (score 85-90), then 55% performed at an average level (score 75-80), and 25% remained at a lower proficiency level (score 60-70). 100% of students showed improvement: high and average performers improved by 15 points on average, and low performers improved by 10 points. Results showed significant improvement across all proficiency levels, particularly among high- and average-performing students. The findings indicate that PBL effectively improves learners’ speaking abilities by promoting engagement, authentic language use, and confidence. However, lower-performing students may require additional scaffolding and support. This study supports the integration of PBL into EFL curricula to promote more interactive and meaningful language learning experiences.

Abstract

The goals of this study are to find out what is the good strategy to stimulate the students’ of computer engineering to study English easily and more active in practicing, besides that the lecturer can be more creative to stimulate and motivate the students’ especially the new students’ to have good impression of study and learning English in the class. This research was taken from the new students of 2022 in the first semester which “Presenting Information Basic Computer in English” by using video as speaking practice in English class. The participants of this research are fifty (50) students from the classroom lecturers which have been attended to get the top ten highest score video presentation. From the data can be shown that class TI-P2101 has got more than one student in highest score. The research to found what are the positive effects from this stimulate to the students that can be improve, and the negative effects to solve their problem and what the lecturer strategy is needed. By this video presentation students can be attract to learn English joyful without stress, and they can learn perfect English from their mistake in video presentation.

Abstract

The article delves into the transformation impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) on enhancing students’ proficiency in learning English language. Recognizing the global importance of English proficiency, educators are increasingly turning to AI as a powerful tool to revolutionize language education. The integration of AI brings forth personalized learning paths, intelligent tutoring systems, gamification strategies, language learning apps, and automated assessments. These advancements cater to individual learning needs, provide real time feedback, foster engagement through gamified experiences, and offer accurate assessments of language skills. The synergistic relationship between AI and language education represents a paradigm shift in the ways students acquire and master the English language, positioning them for success in an increasingly interconnected world.

Abstract

As the digital age continues to reshape educational paradigms, it is essential to investigate the purposeful integration of media into infants’ lives to enhance language acquisition “Harmonizing Voices” explores how age-appropriate media, such as videos, apps, and interactive content, can complement traditional methods, providing infants with a multi-sensory and engaging platform for language exploration. Today, various strategies are employed to stimulate babies from pregnancy through infancy, with mothers increasingly using media as a tool. This includes playing music during pregnancy and introducing nursery rhymes through media post-birth to create a sensory -rich environment. This study investigates the synergy between the melodic allure of English nursery rhymes and intricate process of a baby’s linguistic development. Digital platforms like YouTube and Netflix offer numerous nursery rhymes, such as Cocomelon and Bebefinn, which are popular among infants. This research aims to evaluate which of these nursery rhymes programs is more effective in stimulating infants and which elicits more positive reactions. Caregivers, educators, and researchers will gain insights into the connections between musicality, language and early cognitive development through this exploration. The study addresses the identification of high quality media content, strategies for joint engagement between caregivers and infants, and the potential impact of media on various facets of language development. By fostering an environment where technology harmonizes with natural language acquisition processes, this research aspires to contribute valuable insights for educators, caregivers, and researchers. The objective of this study is to observe and compare infants’ reactions to two popular nursery rhyme programs, Cocomelon and Bebefinn. The research aims to identify which program stimulates more positive engagement, thereby providing a deeper understanding of infants’ preferences and the effectiveness of media content in early language development.

Abstract

This study uses Google Earth Engine, a cloud computing platform, to examine variations in land surface temperature in East Lombok Regency between 2010 and 2020. This study uses MODIS satellite data and is analyzed using Google Earth Engine by adapting a mathematical method—namely, the Random Forest Algorithm from discrete mathematics. According to the results, the temperature increased from its lowest point in 2010 (14.32°C) to its maximum point in 2020 (36.19°C), rising to 16.67°C and 37.74°C. Due to residential growth, Wanasaba, Pringgabaya, and Sambelia saw the biggest increases. Comprehensive temperature monitoring is made possible by Google Earth Engine, which facilitates the effective processing of large-scale spatial data. These results offer a scientific foundation for policy decisions and are essential for environmental management and climate change mitigation. In addition to supporting environmental monitoring initiatives, this study provides a reference for related studies in other areas dealing with issues related to land use and climate change. This research is important for the Central Lombok government as a basis for mitigation efforts in responding to temperature changes and their implications for land use change.
