Abstract

This study aims to investigate and disclose the integration of project-based learning in promoting high school students' ICT literacy and English learning autonomy in Ruteng, Indonesia. This study surveyed 595 students from six senior high schools in Ruteng City. The questionnaire and interview served as the primary instruments for data collection, followed by quantitative and qualitative examination of the results using Jeffreys' Amazing Statistics Program. The results of the study indicate that the level of ICT literacy among the students falls in the medium category (3.5), and English learning autonomy was included in the medium category (3.32). Sixteen statements of ICT literacy competence indicated the category of ICT literacy competence, while ten items indicated English learning autonomy. In addition, five factors challenged the respondents' achievement of ICT literacy, namely, lack of enthusiasm and initiative of students regarding digital media literacy (61.59%), lack of cost of purchasing Internet data packages (71.20%), insufficient time allocated for using specific English learning software (59.48%), unstable Internet network connectivity (58.27%), and lack of available ICT infrastructure in schools (58.33%). Various issues hinder the level at which students could acquire ICT skills, and stakeholders are encouraged to address or overcome these obstacles.

Abstract

Culture pertains to human existence and encompasses the various aspects of a civilization’s way of life. On the other hand, language refers to the complex communication system employed by individuals inside a specific culture or group. Language utilization typically represents the societal customs, cognitive processes, cognitive functioning, historical context, and interconnections within a given human civilization. Utilizing the inclusive personal pronoun "ité" in the Manggarai language facilitates identifying a connection between linguistic elements and cultural principles. This study examines the relationship between the two specified elements, particularly emphasizing the arguments offered. The data were obtained using observations and interviews conducted with fifteen traditional representatives. Subsequently, a qualitative analysis was performed on the collected data. The findings suggest that its utilization in its various manifestations indicates the cultural norms and customs observed by those living in the Manggarai region of Indonesia. Based on the presented data, this study asserts that the first personal pronoun plural inclusive "ité" in the Manggarai language and culture serves as a means for the speaker to communicate politeness and humility towards the hearer or listener. It signifies a genuine respect for the interlocutor, particularly when they hold a high position. In addition, ité shows familiarity, brotherhood, and sincerity in interpersonal relationships by expressing respect, appreciation, and enthusiasm. Furthermore, it functions as a deep gratitude towards the Divine Father.

Abstract

The current study assessed the effectiveness of employing a Picture Dictionary to enhance the vocabulary acquisition of junior high school learners. A significant improvement in vocabulary comprehension was found to have been correlated with learners taking advantage of a visual dictionary compared to those who did not use such a resource. This idea points out that visual dictionaries could be a good option for students to enhance their vocabulary acquisition efforts. This research used a quasi-experimental design and the test as the research instrument to determine the students' vocabulary mastery. In this research, the test is the research instrument to determine the student's vocabulary mastery. This research has been conducted on seventh-grade students in the academic year 2022-2023 with a total sample of sixty respondents. A random sampling technique was employed to determine the group of respondents. The experimental and control groups' average scores differ, as determined by the data analysis. By comparison, the control group attained an average score of 61.7, but the group participating in the experiment attained a mean score 80. The average scores indicate that the group participating in the experiment achieved a mean score greater than the control class.

Abstract

This study examines the language maintenance model for a local language in another language community, specifically to examine Sumbawanese language maintenance in the Balinese community. This study encompasses 1) the Sumbawanese speakers’ competence of Sumbawanese language; 2) Sumbawanese language use patterns in the Balinese community; 3) language attitudes of Sumbawanese speakers toward their language. This study focuses on Denpasar's several locations, where most of the language interaction occurred, and data were collected through observation, interviews, and questionnaires. Those data were analyzed by using a software program, namely an excel chart data series. The research subjects were both older and younger Sumbawanese speakers. An analysis of language attitudes also considered the roles of language choice and language change in maintaining cultural diversity and ethnic identity, which will psychologically provide a feeling of assurance in personal linguistic competence. In Sumbawanese speakers, the context of communicating in Balinese society will be thoroughly considered. The findings show that speakers of Sumbawa language have good competence towards Sumbawa language, rarely use Sumbawa language, and have more positive than negative attitudes towards their language. Speakers are stimulated to maintain the frequency of language use and their positive language attitudes to be competent intercultural speakers.  Keywords: Balinese, language use, language attitude, language change, Sumbawanese

Abstract

This study seeks to analyse the incorporation of problem-based learning (PBL) in strengthening students' interpersonal communication skills, as well as the level of proficiency of students' interpersonal communication skills and the obstacles they face in acquiring them. This study was a crosssectional survey conducted in May 2023 with 315 college students enrolled in six English Study Programs at six universities in three Indonesian provinces. The questionnaires and interviews were used for recording data, which was then analysed using Jeffreys's amazing statistics program (JASP). Based on the data collected, it can be shown that the interpersonal communication profiles of 315 participants can be classified as falling within the medium category (average score=3.26). The primary challenge encountered by participants in developing their interpersonal communication skills is attributed to difficulties arising from the accent of their conversation partner, as indicated by a mean score of 4.6. The result mandates that educators provide an appropriate and effective learning method. PBL is an effective alternative as its principles, syntax, implementation stages, orientation, and benefits are capable of helping students overcome interpersonal communication challenges. PBL model is intended to provide students with the skills needed for problem-solving, increasing logical thinking, collaboration, and communication.

Abstract

Objects in tourism villages are valuable resources which government villages can employ to improve the prosperity of rural communities throughout Indonesia. Using these assets is an essential component of managing a tourist destination. The level of service provided to tourists is determined by how successfully the management performs their responsibilities. This Community Service explores the challenges that arise when developing eight tourist villages in the Manggarai district of West Flores, Indonesia. This Community Service is expected to address numerous problems in the management of eight tourist villages by involving 93 tourism stakeholders. This Community Service activity was carried out in eight villages during two months (November – December 2023). Data collection in this service through questionnaires, observations and interviews, then data was analyzed descriptive-quantitatively. The results show that eight villages have a number of obstacles, such as unavailability of tourist information centers in tourist villages (86%), English language communication (82.8%), rabid animals or other infectious agents at tourist locations (82.8%), infrastructure (78 .5%), environmental sustainability (77.4%), followed by hygiene and health issues (71%). The West Flores tourism community has a lot of potential, but it will only come true if it has been prepared for and the right steps are taken immediately.

Abstract

The growing popularity of AI, facilitated by digital technology, provides enormous possibilities for transforming English teaching techniques for teachers inside and outside the classroom. AI promotes the integration of traditional teaching methods with digital technology-based instruction, leading to greater enthusiasm among students in learning English. Online learning remains the essence of learning as a platform for sharing information and transmitting humanistic values; more importantly, it is defined as a place to transform knowledge completely. This study aimed to examine the proficiency and obstacles to acquiring ICT literacy skills and English learning autonomy for secondary school pupils in Indonesia. A survey was undertaken with 574 secondary school students in Ruteng City, Indonesia. The data was gathered through the use of questionnaires and interviews and subsequently examined using both quantitative and qualitative methods of analysis. The study findings indicate that respondents possess a moderate degree of ICT proficiency. Twenty statements were utilized to assess the ability of ICT literacy, whereas ten questions were employed to gauge English learning autonomy. The respondents’ knowledge of ICT satisfaction was hindered by six factors: lack of enthusiasm and ownership in digital media knowledge, absence of affordability for internet data assistance, lack of funds to utilize specific English-language apps, untrustworthy internet connection, and inadequate ICT infrastructure at schools. Several barriers hinder respondents from achieving ICT literacy. Schools should overcome these hurdles and transform challenges into opportunities to enhance students’ English learning and academic achievement.
