Abstract

This article investigated how AI-based English learning applications contribute to English morphological awareness. This study involved 62 participants of university students. A quantitative approach was employed. Data collection was conducted by distributing questionnaires via Google Forms. Participants completed three types of questionnaires; (1) students’ habits in using AI-based English learning platforms, (2) Students’ morphological awareness, and (3) compositional test where participants were asked to make sentences based on provided words. The results show that the majority of participants used AI-based English applications for learning English. Additionally, the majority of them said they understood morphology when utilizing the English language. Likewise, the significance value for students’ habit in using AI-based English learning applications and students’ English morphological awareness is 0.000 and the Pearson correlation is 0.464. This means there is a moderate and positive correlation between students' morphological awareness and their usage of AI-based English learning platforms. Ultimately, the majority of students demonstrated a positive degree of morphological skill in English in their compositional test responses using the provided English vocabulary.

Abstract

Due to the massive acceleration of information technology in recent time, the role of science and mathematics, are fundamental. Both are generally not considered crucial for some people, particularly by youth who study at Islamic teachings based traditional school, in this term it is Pesantren Bi’satul Islamiyah. Time allocation and frequency of the subject delivery of mathematics and general sciences are rated far from an ideal compared to the religious based subjects. This community service is a program on conducting the enlightenment on the important role of science and mathematics to be learned by students and triggering the perception that science and mathematics is one of successful keys in the coming time. In executing the program in the field, the lecturers actively delivered by turn the material about the important role of science and Mathematics. This community service shows that students at Pesantren Bi’satul Islamiyah enthusiastically listened and participated the program about the important role of science and mathematics to be learned at their school and building their awareness on the important role of science and mathematics which contributed to their future success.

Abstract

This study addresses the challenges faced by Mandailingnese students in pronouncing English words. The interference of the Mandailing language in English poses several difficulties for these students. Therefore, this study aims to identify the specific problems encountered by Mandailing students. Conducted at STAIN Mandailing Natal in the Family Law Study Program, this research adopts a qualitative research design with a case study approach. The instruments utilized include an oral test involving the reading of three different texts, supported by audio recordings, and interviews to explore students' pronunciation challenges in English. The researchers identified various issues affecting Mandailing students' pronunciation, including linguistic interference from the Mandailing language, misconceptions, lack of motivation to study, environmental factors, ineffective study habits, limited access to modern technology, economic constraints, and a lack of awareness regarding the importance of English language proficiency. From these findings, it can be inferred that Mandailing students encounter numerous hurdles in pronouncing English words, leading to decreased confidence and interest in the language. Therefore, educators and institutions are urged to address these challenges to support Mandailing students effectively.

Abstract

This study introduces an innovative approach to English for Specific Purposes (ESP) by developing an English for Mathematics textbook infused with local wisdom. This novel integration bridges the gap between linguistic competence and cultural relevance in mathematics education. Employing the Research and Development method, this work addresses a critical gap in ESP materials by embedding indigenous knowledge into mathematical English instruction, a unique contribution to the field. Participants from the Mathematics Education Study Program at STAIN Mandailing Natal provided insights through questionnaires, validation sheets, and interviews, with data analyzed using descriptive statistics. The findings reveal a strong student need for a textbook that integrates mathematical English vocabulary, communicative teaching methods, and skill-based tasks in speaking and reading. The integration of local wisdom enhances student engagement. It promotes culturally responsive learning, making the textbook distinct from standard ESP materials. Expert reviews affirmed its high quality in terms of content, design, and language. Student responses highlighted its practicality, interactivity, and creativity, reflecting its educational innovation. This study contributes to the global ESP field by demonstrating that localized content can enhance English skills in specific disciplines, providing a model adaptable to other contexts. The textbook emerges as a groundbreaking tool for culturally sustaining mathematics education.
