Abstract

Betawi folklore holds great potential as both a didactic and creative medium. Integrating Betawi folklore into literacy reading materials for elementary school students can yield positive educational benefits. However, due to the diversity of Betawi folklore, teachers must carefully select appropriate stories and implement effective learning strategies to ensure educational objectives are met. This study examines the appropriateness of Betawi folklore as literacy reading material for elementary school students. Employing a qualitative research approach, it utilizes content analysis techniques to assess intrinsic literary elements—such as themes, plots, characters, and settings—based on children's literature principles and cognitive development theories, particularly Piaget's concrete operational stage. The primary data sources include Cerita Rakyat Betawi 1 and Cerita Rakyat Betawi  by Rahmat Ali. To validate the content analysis findings, teachers were asked to evaluate the suitability of Betawi folklore through a questionnaire. The results indicate that teachers must exercise careful selection, as not all Betawi folklore align with children's literature criteria and cognitive development stages. This study recommends strategies for adapting Betawi folklore to enhance its suitability for literacy activities in elementary schools.

Abstract

Listening to songs has been long used by teachers in Indonesia as a part of English learning activities inside or outside the classroom in Indonesia. The goals are not just for leisure purposes but to develop students' English skills and sub-skills, for example, listening or vocabulary. The Indonesian EFL students generally like this activity, whereas many are accustomed to listening to songs as part of their daily habits. Apparently, listening to songs' habits today has been much easier since the emergence of Spotify's music application. This app is becoming more popular and is used by many EFL students in Indonesia. Some studies have exposed the benefits of listening to songs through this Spotify application to enrich the student's vocabulary knowledge or size. However, further investigation is still required to determine whether the variable of listening to song habits on this Spotify platform correlates with students' vocabulary competence. Based on that interest, this study seeks the relevance between these two variables using a quantitative correlational method. 26 students from a private high school in Depok, Indonesia were selected to participate in this study. The questionnaire instrument and vocabulary test were used in this study. The result showed a positive correlation between the two variables. Therefore, listening to English songs on Spotify has become a factor that influences students' vocabulary competence.

Abstract

This study investigates the strategies employed by English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teachers in teaching writing through digital learning environments, with a specific focus on the use of Google Docs as an instructional tool. Adopting a qualitative descriptive approach, the research involved ten EFL teachers from various educational levels in the Greater Jakarta area. Data were collected through non-participant classroom observations and semi-structured interviews. The findings reveal that Google Docs plays a central role in supporting collaborative drafting, structured feedback, real-time revision, and student autonomy. Teachers utilized Google Docs to facilitate both synchronous and asynchronous writing instruction, integrating it with platforms such as Google Classroom and WhatsApp to build a cohesive digital learning ecosystem. Overall, the integration of Google Docs was perceived as effective in enhancing student engagement, improving writing quality, and streamlining the feedback process. The study concludes that digital platforms, when purposefully implemented, can significantly enrich EFL writing pedagogy in contemporary classrooms.
