Abstract

Media utilization plays a crucial role in enhancing the teaching and learning process within the classroom environment. This study investigates how a lecturer at Universitas Muhammadiyah Kendari perceives the use of teaching media in vocabulary instruction. Utilizing a qualitative descriptive approach through a case study, the research involved one lecturer and data collected from three classroom observations and two interviews. The analysis employed thematic coding across six key aspects: purpose, media selection, utilization, benefits, challenges, and effectiveness. The findings indicate that the lecturer employed a diverse range of teaching media, with multimedia resources, such as audio-books, being particularly prominent due to their integration of both audio and visual elements. Interviews data corroborates this observation, revealing the lecturer's belief that selecting appropriate media significantly enhances student engagement and aids in achieving learning objectives. Additionally, the study highlights that integrating various media types fosters a more interactive and dynamic vocabulary learning environment. The results further suggest that the lecturer demonstrates a robust understanding of media utilization, as evidenced by the absence of significant challenges in the process. Overall, the study underscores the effectiveness of diverse media in enriching vocabulary instruction and suggests that strategic media integration can greatly enhance the learning experience.

By employing keyword extraction, topic-specific modelling, and thematic evaluation, our objective is to ascertain the prevailing methodologies in English language teaching and the research interest themes from 347 undergraduate downloadable theses that have been investigated. The analysis explores the possible ramifications of these patterns on the caliber of undergraduate research, English language instruction, and the broader education domain within the given area. This study revealed a strong preference (54.5%) for quantitative approaches, highlighting the importance of empirical methodologies. Additionally common were qualitative approaches (24.8%), suggesting an increasing recognition of the importance of examining human factors. While action research (8.4%), particularly Classroom Action Research (CAR), was less prevalent than mixed-method approaches (12.8%), this suggests that action research needs to be recognized. The different ratios of research methods demonstrated a dedication to investigating various questions and advancing knowledge in language, literature, and education. The interesting research themes identified the complex and diverse nature of English language raising focus in Southeast Asia such as technological integration, teacher development, cultural studies, assessment, and language teaching methodologies.

Abstract

The Kampus Mengajar Program is part of the Merdeka Belajar Kampus Merdeka (MBKM) policy which provides opportunities for prospective teacher students to be directly involved in improving the quality of education in elementary schools. This study aims to explore how pre-service teachers describe their experiences in overcoming challenges in improving students' literacy while participating in the Kampus Mengajar 7 program. This research uses a qualitative approach with a case study design, involving five students who have participated in the program. Data were obtained through semi-structured interviews and documentation. The results showed that students faced various challenges at school, such as low student interest in reading, limited learning media, and a shortage of English teachers. To address these challenges, students designed a needs-based literacy program that is fun and relevant, such as routine reading before lessons, reading corners, and the use of digital media such as Canva, Wordwall, and YouTube. Individual and group strategies were also implemented to make students more active and enthusiastic. Besides having an impact on improving students' literacy, involvement in this program also contributes to the development of students' pedagogical, social and technological competencies as prospective teachers. However, the sustainability of the program still depends on school support and teacher involvement. These findings show that the Kampus Mengajar not only has a positive impact on students, but also serves as a real learning platform for students in preparing themselves as professional educators in the future.
