Abstract

The English Education Study Program as a place of language learning is an institution where the paradigm of foreign language learning that is still thick with the practice of linguistic colonialism is likely to still take place. This study aims to reveal the existence of this paradigm in the teaching process in the study program as a material for future changes in order to achieve widespread and flexible learning. This change will also promote local culture in foreign language learning. This study uses qualitative descriptive method as a means of revealing the necessary facts. Interviews and observations of the learning process and the interaction between lecturers and students were used as data collection tools which were analyzed using the Interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA) method. The findings of this study show that the phenomenon of language colonialization is still an aspect that lecturers and students are not aware of. Its existence in the context of teaching in the English department of the Faculty of Education is still at the stage of stratification of the language used as an introduction in class, unconscious restrictions on the use of certain languages, and the widespread use of certain languages over other languages.

Abstract

Many teachers struggle to utilize technology to create interactive, creative, and innovative learning media. They often face challenges in selecting and using the wide variety of available learning tools, which leads them to rely on traditional methods such as textbooks. Additionally, the lack of skills in using technology-based media, such as infographics, hinders their ability to enhance the quality of teaching in line with the demands of the digital era. This study aims to describe the implementation of infographic training as an alternative learning media at SMPN Satap 2 Palangka Raya. The training was designed to enhance teachers' competencies in utilizing information technology, especially within the limitations of available resources. Using the Assets-Based Community Development (ABCD) approach, the training leveraged existing facilities such as school laptops, smartphones, and premium Canva accounts. The training activities included an introduction to infographic design, hands-on practice with Canva, intensive mentoring, and an exhibition of participants' works. The results indicate that the training was conducted as planned with active teacher participation, despite technical challenges such as limited internet connectivity. This training also highlighted the importance of sustained support, such as providing adequate technological infrastructure by schools and local governments, to improve the effectiveness of similar programs in the future.

Abstract

Students may find speaking difficult when having nervousness, self-doubt, and a lack of confidence. Some previous research has found that video projects as an authentic assessment tool in project-based learning can enhance students’ confidence in talking. Then, this study explores the students’ experiences in building confidence through video-based assessments within a Project-Based Learning (PBL) framework. Using qualitative analysis of survey data, the research examines students’ experiences and challenges associated with this approach. The findings indicate that most students experienced increased speaking confidence due to repeated practice, self-evaluation, and exposure to real-world communication settings. However, challenges such as technical difficulties and anxiety about speaking on camera were also reported. Despite these obstacles, students found PBL with video projects engaging and effective in boosting their confidence. These results suggest that video-based assessments can be a valuable tool in PBL to support the development of students’ speaking confidence.
