Abstract

The use of language in a MoU requires precision so that the message conveyed can be understood clearly, which ultimately supports the achievement of effective cooperation. By understanding the denotative and connotative meaning, parties entering into cooperation agreements in the business sector can better understand the contents of the MoU document. The research method used in this research is a descriptive method with qualitative data analysis. This research will analyze the denotative meaning and connotative meaning based on three stages of interpretation, namely literal meaning, explicature and implicature. The data source used is the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) of the Indonesian Ministry of Health, from three different MoUs, namely the Danish MoU, Japan MoU and Tanzania MoU. The results of this research found denotative and connotative meanings in each MoU document. In the Danish MoU research there was 60% Denotative Meaning, 40% Connotative Meaning, while in the Japanese MoU research there was 50% Denotative Meaning, 50% Connotative Meaning, and the results found in the Tanzanian MoU research were 62.5% Denotative Meaning and 37.5% % Connotative Meaning. Of the three Memorandums of Understanding (MoU), the denotative meaning is more dominant than the connotative meaning.

Abstract

Symbolism in film enhances the story by adding depth and meaning to characters and themes. In The Truman Show, the use of metaphor, simile, and personification helps uncover the deeper symbolism of the film and its broader messages. This research takes a qualitative approach by analyzing the film’s script through content analysis. The process involves outlining the topic, organizing the thesis, gathering information from both the film and online resources, and examining how these symbols contribute to the film’s overall meaning. In the study, the use of personification is found to be the most prominent, making up 41.2% of the instances, followed by metaphor at 35.3%, and simile at 23.5%. These literary devices help to build the narrative and explore important themes, such as the nature of reality, the power of the media, and individual freedom. By using these devices, The Truman Show invites viewers to reflect on how media shapes our perceptions of the world and our sense of self. The film serves as a warning about the dangers of turning real life into entertainment, showing how this can strip away the humanity of those involved. It also underscores the importance of privacy and authenticity in leading a meaningful life.

Abstract

The growing global demand for English proficiency has coincided with the increasing importance of technological literacy, accelerating the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in education. This study investigates the effectiveness of ELSA Speak, an AI-powered language learning application, in enhancing students’ speaking proficiency. A quasi-experimental mixed-method approach was employed, involving both an experimental and a control group. The research was conducted at Universitas Bina Sarana Informatika, where only two classes were available, prompting the use of convenience sampling to select participants based on availability and willingness. The sample included 35 students from class 33.1A.07 (experimental group) and 36 students from class 33.1B.07 (control group). Quantitative data were collected through oral pre-tests and post-tests and analyzed using t-tests in SPSS version 25. Qualitative data from in-depth interviews provided insights into how features such as structured levels and personalized feedback influenced students’ speaking development. Results showed that the control group’s scores increased from 58.78 to 65.81, while the experimental group’s scores rose from 61.43 to 75.03. Statistical analysis revealed a significance level (2-tailed) of <0.05, leading to the rejection of the null hypothesis and acceptance of the alternative. The findings indicate that ELSA Speak significantly enhanced students’ speaking proficiency in grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, fluency, and content. The study concludes that integrating AI-based tools like ELSA Speak into university curricula offers a practical solution for improving language skills, especially in institutions with limited resources and instructional time

Abstract

Rapid global change and the demands of 21st-century education have created an urgent need to develop students’ higher-order thinking skills (HOTS), critical, creative, and problem-solving abilities, yet evidence on how flipped learning (FL) supports these skills remains fragmented. This systematic literature review addresses that gap by synthesizing recent studies (2021–2025) on the impact of FL on HOTS across formal education levels and diverse cultural contexts, with particular attention to implications for sustainable education. Following PRISMA guidelines, 32 peer-reviewed empirical studies were identified from Scopus, ERIC, and ProQuest using predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Methodological quality was appraised using a simplified CASP checklist, and inductive thematic synthesis was employed to identify patterns in pedagogy, technology use, and HOTS outcomes. Findings indicate that FL can enhance cognitive engagement, learner autonomy, and performance when integrated with inquiry-based and collaborative strategies; critical thinking often improved through structured argumentation, creativity through project-based and digital tasks, and problem-solving through real-world, team-based learning. However, effects varied by discipline, education level, and contextual factors such as digital readiness and instructional design quality; several studies reported minimal gains in low-tech or weakly scaffolded settings. These results underscore FL’s potential as a sustainable pedagogical framework that optimizes resources and fosters lifelong learning, but also highlight gaps: most studies were small-scale, quasi-experimental, and lacked longitudinal or cross-cultural comparison. Future research should adopt more rigorous, context-sensitive designs and explore how FL compares with other active learning models to inform curriculum and teacher training policies.

Abstract

This research explores the influence of the Artificial Intelligence: Fully Fluent application on Indonesian junior high school students’ English-speaking skills and explores teacher and student perceptions of its use. The study employed a mixed method using interviews and questionnaires with teachers and students to get qualitative data alongside quantitative data from a quasi-experiment pre-posttest. Teachers reported that the application developed motivation, confidence, and behavioral engagement in class, with student surveys being overwhelmingly positive with convenience, enjoyment, and increased confidence. Regarding quantitative results, statistically significant improvement is reported since the experimental group's mean scores (84.51) are greater than the control group's (71.91). In both the independent samples t-test (Sig= 0.000 < 0.05) and paired samples t-test (Sig= 0.000 < 0.05), there are statistically significant differences, which reflect the effect of Fully Fluent. These results indicate that AI-based tools like Fully Fluent can enhance oral proficiency and foster positive learning attitudes. Practically, the findings suggest that AI speaking applications be used as supportive tools to enhance EFL instruction and build learner confidence in authentic communication.

Abstract

This study explores the pedagogical practice of EFL Indonesia lecturers in applying Flipped Learning (FL) to reading teaching. Through a qualitative approach with a descriptive design, data were collected from Likert scale questionnaires (N=30) and structured interviews (N=5) with lecturers from various universities. The findings revealed that although lecturers showed high conceptual readiness in designing FL-based lesson plans score 4.40 (88%), the practice of designing pre-class materials varied widely, ranging from the use of multimodal (66%), the inclusion of question guides (21%), to the reliance on simple videos (7%) or textbooks (6%) due to time and infrastructure constraints. In the implementation phase, class activities were dominated by collaborative interaction with a score of 4.71 (94.29%). However, the transition of the role of lecturers from material presenters to facilitators was still a big challenge, with a score of 2.71 (54.29%). Practical reflection was also not systematic, although lecturers evaluated and improved the strategy with a score of 4.00 (80%). The study concludes that the success of FL depends not only on technical readiness but also on ongoing pedagogical support through interactive material design training, facilitator role mentoring, and institutional policies that provide resources and low-tech solutions. This research contributes to the literature by highlighting the teacher's perspective and the contextualization of FL in Indonesian settings.
