Abstract

This study explores the teacher’s role in facilitating the development of integrated English language skills: listening, speaking, reading, and writing among first-year junior high school students with low basic proficiency. Employing qualitative and quantitative methods, data were collected through teacher interviews, student Interview, classroom observations, and student questionnaires. Findings indicate that the teacher played a pivotal role in scaffolding each language skill through strategies such as multimedia use, collaborative learning, contextual teaching, and differentiated instruction. While students responded positively to engaging learning environments and appreciated support in speaking and vocabulary development, they continued to face challenges in listening comprehension, reading analysis, and grammar-based writing tasks. Integrated skills instruction, which mirrors real-life language use, was consistently applied by the teacher to enhance comprehension, motivation, and learner autonomy. Overall, students perceived the teacher’s role as effective, though more targeted support was needed for grammar instruction and comprehension-based activities. Future research should examine the long-term effects of integrated skills instruction and explore the role of technology and teacher scaffolding in supporting low-proficiency students.

Abstract

This study investigates the English language needs of students enrolled in the Room Division program at the Tourism Polytechnic of Makassar, Indonesia. Recognizing English as a critical skill in the hospitality sector especially in guest-facing roles, this research aims to assess whether the current English course aligns with the communicative demands of the workplace. Employing a sequential explanatory mixed-methods design, quantitative data were gathered through a 15-item Likert-scale questionnaire administered to 39 students, while qualitative insights were collected via semi-structured interviews with four purposively selected participants. Statistical analysis revealed that students perceived English as highly relevant to their future careers, particularly in speaking and customer service contexts. However, they also expressed a need for more interactive learning, including simulations, role-plays, and authentic materials. Thematic analysis of the interview data confirmed that students found the course lacking in real-world communication practice and contextualized vocabulary. Grounded in ESP theory, this study identifies gaps between the current curriculum and the specific language tasks expected in hotel operations. The findings underscore the importance of tailoring English instruction to meet learners’ professional goals and suggest the integration of task-based, industry-relevant activities. Recommendations are provided for curriculum developers, instructors, and policymakers to enhance the effectiveness of ESP instruction in vocational hospitality education.

Abstract

In the 21st century, a paradigm shift in education is needed. This is especially true for the Independent Curriculum, which focuses on the needs of students. However, many educators still face difficulties in understanding and using new learning strategies that are appropriate for 21st century and digital era skills (4Cs: Critical Thinking, Communication, Collaboration, and Creativity). The lack of systematic and needs-based training, especially through technology integration, innovative learning methods, and authentic assessments, is a major factor. Through the application of the Training of Trainers (TOT) approach in 21st century learning design, this service program aims to increase teacher capacity. This program utilizes Microsoft-based technology to enhance the learning experience with the support of Microsoft Indonesia and Microsoft Innovative Educator Expert (MIEE) Indonesia. This training includes the use of apps such as Microsoft Teams, OneNote, and PowerPoint to help teachers create a more flexible and inspiring learning environment. In order for the training to be in accordance with the needs of teachers, the Capacity Building and Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) program involves stages to identify needs, training by Master Trainers, and dissemination of knowledge by participants to other teachers. The results show that this method is effective in improving teachers' skills and extending the benefits of training to more teachers. === Pada abad ke-21, perubahan paradigma dalam pendidikan diperlukan. Hal ini terutama berlaku untuk Kurikulum Merdeka yang berfokus pada kebutuhan siswa. Namun, banyak pendidik masih menghadapi kesulitan untuk memahami dan menggunakan strategi pembelajaran baru yang sesuai dengan keterampilan abad ke-21 dan era digital (4C: Critical Thinking, Communication, Collaboration, dan Creativity). Kurangnya pelatihan yang sistematis dan berbasis kebutuhan, terutama melalui integrasi teknologi, metode pembelajaran inovatif, dan asesmen autentik, merupakan faktor utama. Melalui penerapan pendekatan Training of Trainers (TOT) dalam desain pembelajaran abad ke-21, program pengabdian ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan kapasitas guru. Program ini memanfaatkan teknologi berbasis Microsoft untuk meningkatkan pengalaman pembelajaran dengan dukungan Microsoft Indonesia dan Microsoft Innovative Educator Expert (MIEE) Indonesia. Training ini mencakup penggunaan aplikasi seperti Microsoft Teams, OneNote, dan PowerPoint untuk membantu guru membuat lingkungan belajar yang lebih fleksibel dan menginspirasi. Agar pelatihan sesuai dengan kebutuhan guru, Capacity Building dan Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) program melibatkan tahapan untuk mengidentifikasi kebutuhan, pelatihan oleh Master Trainer, dan penyebaran pengetahuan oleh peserta kepada guru lainnya. Hasilnya menunjukkan bahwa metode ini efektif dalam meningkatkan keterampilan guru dan memperluas manfaat pelatihan ke lebih banyak guru.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of using English songs in improving students' listening skills. The method used is quantitative with a quasi-experimental design, involving two grade XI classes at SMAN 1 Pangkep as research subjects. Grade XI Harmonis was designated as the experimental group that received treatment in the form of learning using Lenka's songs, while grade XI Cekatan was the control group that followed conventional learning. The instruments used included a listening test (pre-test and post-test) and a student learning interest questionnaire. The results of the analysis showed a significant difference between the post-test scores of the experimental and control groups, with a significance value of 0.000 <0.05. This indicates that the use of songs can effectively improve students' listening skills. In addition, the results of the questionnaire showed that most students had a high interest in using songs as a learning medium, which was reinforced by the results of the correlation test which showed a positive and strong relationship between student interest and improved listening skills (r = 0.649, p <0.05).Thus, the use of English songs, especially Lenka's works, has been proven to not only improve the cognitive aspect in listening learning, but also the affective aspects such as student motivation and involvement. Songs can be used as an effective alternative strategy in learning English

Abstract

This study offers a valuable contribution to the intersection of psychology and literature, as well as provides insights for the general public regarding the portrayal of male fragility and its underlying causes. The purpose of this research is to analyze how male fragility is reflected in the main male character, “Ken,” and to examine the reasons behind the emergence of this fragility in the Barbie film by Greta Gerwig and Noah Baumbach (2023). The analysis employs critical discourse analysis based on Fairclough’s (2013) framework to explore the complex interplay between power relations and societal norms conveyed through cinematic elements, focusing particularly on the character of Ken. A qualitative descriptive method is used to interpret these findings. The study reveals that Ryan Gosling’s character demonstrates various forms of masculine fragility, including emotional expressiveness, physical inadequacy, intellectual inferiority, subordination to women, failure to fulfill masculine expectations in work-related contexts, and sexual inadequacy. The research also identifies several causes of Ken’s fragility, namely rigid masculine norms, identity discrepancies, conformity pressures, societal expectations, and cultural norms. These findings lead to the conclusion that the Barbie movie (2023) not only presents a critique of patriarchy but also highlights the negative impacts of masculinity norms on men who become trapped within societal expectations. The male fragility portrayed through Ken reflects a widely relevant gender issue, in which men often experience emotional vulnerability due to social and cultural pressures to conform to restrictive masculine ideals.
