Abstract

This study explores the difficulties in English language comprehension faced by children of Indonesian migrant workers in Malaysia. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, data were collected through questionnaires and interviews with sixth-grade students in a non-formal education center. The findings reveal five major challenges: (1) multilingual environment, which hinders English language comprehension due to the influence of other languages; (2) limited access to education, resulting in difficulties in English language comprehension due to inadequate facilities and resources; (3) social and economic factors, which impede English language comprehension due to limited access to technology and internet; (4) lack of authentic English exposure, leading to difficulties in English language comprehension due to insufficient exposure to authentic English language; and (5) psychological factors, including motivation and self-confidence, which affect English language comprehension due to anxiety and low self-esteem. These factors are interrelated and rooted in the students’ linguistic environment, educational infrastructure, and socio-emotional context. The study underscores the need for inclusive, context-responsive instructional strategies and improved educational support systems to enhance the English listening skills of marginalized learners.

Abstract: The Community Service Program (KKN) in Sempajaya Village, Berastagi, was established with the aim of empowering women (PKK) by providing specialized training in utilizing used cooking oil to make aromatherapy candles. PKK mothers will learn more about how to process used cooking oil into useful products through this program. Furthermore, the program will create opportunities for potential home businesses in the local area, which will increase family income. The KKN team used a hands-on demonstration method to demonstrate how to make candles, including soaking used cooking oil, mixing dyes, and adding essential oils for scent. Based on the evaluation results, participants' understanding and skills in processing used cooking oil improved dramatically, and they were enthusiastic about launching an aromatherapy candle business as a replacement for conventional commercial businesses in the local area. Other village communities can use this KKN project as an example for community empowerment based on local capacity.         Keywords: Aromatherapy candles, Used cooking oil, Empowerment of PKK mothers, Sempajaya Village  Abstrak: Program Kuliah Kerja Nyata (KKN) Di Desa Sempajaya, Berastagi, dibentuk dengan tujuan memberdayakan ibu-ibu (PKK) dengan memberikan pelatihan khusus pemanfaatan minyak jelantah untuk membuat lilin aromaterapi.

Abstract

The 2025 UINSU Community Service Program research in Sempajaya Village was carried out through training in making ecoprint tote bags as an effort to develop creativity while strengthening the economic literacy of elementary school children. This activity utilized natural materials such as leaves and flowers commonly found in the village environment, so that children could learn to recognize the potential of their natural surroundings as a source of creative works with practical and economic value. The training was conducted in three main stages: preparation, implementation, and reflection. During the implementation stage, children were introduced to the concept of ecoprinting, pounding techniques, and the steps involved in making ecoprinted tote bags through lectures, question and answer sessions, and hands-on practice. The results of the activity showed an increase in the participants' creativity, as evident in their ability to arrange motifs, select natural materials, and produce tote bags with attractive patterns. In addition, this activity also fostered a basic understanding of the economic value of creative products, thereby supporting the formation of independence and an entrepreneurial spirit from an early age. The reflection stage showed that the children were able to identify the process, benefits, and challenges they faced. Thus, ecoprint tote bags proved to be an effective educational tool in integrating creativity, economic literacy, and love for the environment for the children of Sempajaya Village.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze students' perceptions of the effectiveness of the Beelinguapp application as a learning medium to improve listening skills. The research was conducted on students of the English Education Study Program at the State Islamic University of North Sumatra in 2024, involving 50 respondents. The study used a convergent mixed-method design, which integrates quantitative and qualitative approaches. The research instruments consisted of a 15-item Likert scale questionnaire measuring perceptions of ease of use, perceptions of improvement in listening skills, and learning motivation, as well as five open-ended questions to explore students' experiences and views. Quantitative data were analyzed descriptively using percentages and frequencies, while qualitative data were analyzed through thematic analysis. The research results show that the majority of students perceive Beelinguapp as easy to use, effective in improving listening skills, and capable of enhancing learning motivation. The bilingual text feature integrated with audio is considered helpful for students to understand pronunciation, intonation, and vocabulary in context. Nevertheless, some technical issues, such as audio speed and limited internet access, are still experienced by some respondents. Overall, Beelinguapp has the potential to become an effective supporting medium for listening learning, particularly in mobile-based self-directed learning.

Abstract

The use of artificial intelligence in English language learning in higher education continues to increase, but understanding of students' perceptions of ChatGPT as an academic learning partner remains limited. Therefore, this study aims to explore students' perceptions of the use of ChatGPT as an English learning partner and its role in supporting independent and academic learning. This study used a qualitative approach with a descriptive design. Data were collected through open-ended questionnaires and semi-structured interviews with undergraduate students who had experience using ChatGPT in English learning. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis techniques to identify patterns and meanings within students' experiences. The results indicate that students perceive ChatGPT as an accessible, flexible, and personalized learning partner, supporting learning outside the classroom and creating a low-anxiety learning environment. ChatGPT was deemed effective in improving reading and writing skills through providing linguistic clarification and cognitive support. Furthermore, its use contributed to increased learning autonomy and academic self-confidence. However, students also expressed critical awareness of ChatGPT's limitations, particularly regarding response accuracy and its limited role in supporting speaking skills. Overall, ChatGPT is viewed as a complementary learning partner that supports, but does not replace, conventional English language instruction.

Abstract

General Background: Mobile-Assisted Language Learning (MALL) has become a transformative tool in English language instruction, especially at the elementary level. Specific Background: The "Bright–English for Beginners" application is among the innovative platforms aiming to enhance early EFL learning through interactive, gamified, and adaptive content. Knowledge Gap: While existing literature emphasizes student outcomes, limited research addresses teachers’ perspectives and the practical challenges of implementing such technology in classrooms. Aims: This study explores elementary EFL teachers’ experiences using the Bright application, focusing on perceived benefits, pedagogical challenges, and instructional strategies. Results: Teachers reported increased student motivation, personalized learning, and improved engagement through multimedia features and assessment tools. However, challenges included unstable internet, curriculum misalignment, limited training, and skepticism from stakeholders. Novelty: Unlike prior studies, this research foregrounds the teacher’s role in MALL integration and highlights creative pedagogical adaptations—peer learning, digital portfolios, and real-world language tasks—as critical to successful implementation. Implications: Findings suggest that effective educational technology adoption requires not just functional tools, but robust infrastructure, curriculum integration, and ongoing professional development. This study contributes practical insights for developers, educators, and policymakers aiming to enhance early language learning through digital platforms.Highlight : Teachers believe that this application significantly improves student motivation and participation. The main challenges include unstable internet connections and curriculum compatibility. Creative strategies such as peer learning and contextual assignments reinforce the effectiveness of the application. Keywords : Bright–English for Beginners, Mobile Application, EFL Teachers, English Language Learning, Teacher Perspective
