Abstract

This study examines the motivational factors influencing pre-service English teachers’ efforts to improve their speaking skills during the LANTIP teaching practicum at Universitas Negeri Semarang. Employing a qualitative descriptive design, data were collected from 30 pre-service English teachers through open-ended questionnaires and were triangulated with semi-structured interviews involving selected participants. The data were analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings reveal that speaking motivation during practicum emerged from an interaction between intrinsic and extrinsic factors. Intrinsically, participants were motivated by the desire to construct a credible professional identity and to regulate confidence in classroom interaction. Extrinsically, mentor feedback, student responses, and school language environments shaped participants’ motivation to improve speaking performance. Practicum experiences, including speaking difficulties and emotional challenges, functioned as catalysts for motivational adjustment rather than as barriers. Based on these findings, this study recommends that English teacher education programs provide supportive mentoring, structured opportunities for authentic English use, and guidance in managing speaking-related anxiety to sustain pre-service teachers’ speaking motivation during teaching practicum.

Abstract

This study investigates the translation methods employed in the Indonesian version of Charlotte Perkins Gilman’s The Yellow Wallpaper based on Newmark’s framework and examines how the dominant method affects the preservation of the narrator’s unreliable first-person voice and deteriorating mental condition. Using a descriptive qualitative design, this study analyzed 389 paired sentences from the source text and the target text. The findings show that target-language-oriented methods dominate the translation, with communicative translation occurring most frequently (195 instances; 50.1%), followed by free translation (78 instances; 20.1%), while source-language-oriented methods are used only marginally. These results suggest that the translator prioritizes readability, naturalness, and acceptability for Indonesian readers over close adherence to the original structure and stylistic form. In particular, communicative translation, often realized through explicitation, helps convey the story’s psychological tension, thematic meaning, and emotional force to the target audience, although some stylistic nuances of the original are reduced. Overall, the study indicates that communicative translation is effective in maintaining the narrative accessibility and literary impact of the work in Indonesian.

Abstract

Digitalization of Village-Owned Enterprise (BUMDes) governance is an urgent need to address the challenges of transparency, accountability, and professionalism in village economic management. The Sumber Kamulyan BUMDes, which manages the Umbul Pelem tourist destination in Wunut Village, still faces obstacles in manual administrative records, the lack of an integrated data management system, and a suboptimal digital branding strategy. This study aims to develop the Wunut BUMDes Information System (SIBUMDes Wunut) as an effort to modernize administrative governance while strengthening the digital branding of the tourism village. The method used is Business Model Canvas analysis to formulate institutional and business strategies, and the application of the Waterfall Model in the system development process, which includes the stages of analysis, design, implementation, and testing. System testing was conducted using blackbox testing to ensure functional suitability. The results show that all key features, such as tourist data management, financial transaction recording, statistical report preparation, and social media content management, can function properly. These findings confirm that SIBUMDes Wunut not only improves administrative order but also serves as a sustainable digital promotion instrument. Thus, this system is declared feasible to be implemented and has the potential to be replicated by other villages as a model for BUMDes digitalization in order to encourage local economic independence.

Abstract

Teaching English pronunciation to Deaf and Hard of Hearing (DHH) students remains challenging, especially given limited access to auditory input and the need to adapt teaching methods to students’ conditions. Although previous studies have highlighted the importance of multisensory approaches, there is still a limited explanation of how tactile techniques, such as vocal vibration, are used in real classroom situations. This study aims to explore the challenges teachers face, the strategies they use, and how the vocal vibration technique is implemented in teaching pronunciation. This research used a descriptive qualitative design and was conducted in a senior high school in Pekalongan, involving one class of 20 DHH students. The data were collected through classroom observations and teacher interviews and analyzed through thematic analysis, including coding, categorization, and interpretation. The results show that students have difficulties in perceiving sounds, monitoring their own pronunciation, and controlling their articulation. To address these challenges, teachers use repetition, multisensory strategies, and tactile techniques. The vocal vibration technique helps students improve their awareness of how sounds are produced, their pronunciation accuracy, and their class participation. However, the results vary depending on each student’s hearing level. Therefore, flexible and adaptive teaching approaches are needed to support pronunciation learning for DHH students.
