Abstract

Kalampangan subdistrict is located in the north part of Palangka Raya Town in Central Kalimantan. Kalampangan was built on approximately four-meter-deep peat. At first, the land was not productive because it was very acidic. However, after many years of hard work, Kalampangan has been successful in providing vegetables, fruits, and meat for Palangka Raya and its surrounding regions. The local farmers in Kalampangan cultivate the deep peatland in an environmentally friendly way, i.e., by adding manure and ash of weeds. As a result of this local wisdom-based practice, the soil becomes fertile and productive for horticultural products, and subsequently, the plant residue is utilized for animal feed. This integrated horticulture and livestock farming have made Kalampangan the biggest produce and livestock supplier for Palangka Raya and the surrounding regions. This paper aims at describing the detailed strategies of this integration by collecting data through interviews with the local administration and farmers. Keywords: Kalampangan, peatland, horticulture, livestock farming, productive

Abstract

Due to the importance of providing learning environment that suits the students’ preference in learning a language, many studies have been conducted on the learning strategies employed by the students. Doro and Habok (2013) investigated the learning strategies of Hungarian young students learning English as a foreign language. The instrument they used was the Strategy Inventory for Language Learning (SILL) for adult. It was statistically found that the instrument was reliable and worked well with the young learners. Another result of the study was that meta-cognitive strategies were the most frequently used while compensation strategies were the least frequently employed by the students. The study also discovered that female students showed higher frequency of learning strategy use. I conducted a similar study on Indonesian young students and tried to compare the result. There will be, however, difference in the instrument to collect the data. After consulting an English teacher who teaches young students, I decided to use the modified SILL for Taiwanese children by Lan (2005). This is due to the consideration that Indonesian students might not be able to fill in the complex questionnaire as in the adult version of SILL.The findings show that Meta-cognitive strategies as the most preferred group of the six strategy categories have exactly the same means of both Doro and Habok’s and my studies i.e. 3.2 and female students appeared to use language learning strategies more frequently that male students.

Abstract

Some reports have uncovered that the number of religious intolerance and violation cases still appear in Indonesia recently. Preventive actions must be taken to keep Indonesia aligned with its national motto “unity in diversity”. This paper discusses the importance of promoting religious moderation toward society to build peace and harmony. Furthermore, this paper addresses the urgency of inserting religious moderation values to school instructions, particularly in English language teaching. Some practical ways of embedding the religious moderation values into English instructions are also presented so that English teachers can apply them in their classes. Finally, it is expected that religious tolerance and respect for diversity can be built among students.

Abstract

One of the recommended teaching methods in the Indonesia’s Merdeka Belajar (Freedom to Learn) Curriculum is Project-based Learning (PjBL). This research aims to explore the implementation of PjBL in assisting the students’ 4C skills through a writing project in English for Tourism Class in Indonesia. This research employed a qualitative design to investigate the PjBL implementation by the teacher to the fifth semester students at a Tour Guiding Program. An open-ended questionnaire, interview, and teacher reflective notes were conducted to collect the data. The data analysis included data reading and categorization, data matching, data reduction, data display and interpretation, and drawing conclusions. The results showed that PjBL gave the opportunities to train the students’ 4C skills through group tasks, data collection, presentation, and the tourist spot visit. They also learned to develop an English writing text more meaningfully, and to construct knowledge about tourism from the real-world context. The challenges found were time limitation, student different characteristics, and teacher’s limited experiences. Teachers who are eager to apply PjBL may use this teaching procedure in this research with the considerations of these challenges and classroom needs. Besides, supplementing an observation method and expanding the research scope are recommended for future research

Abstract

This study investigated vocabulary acquisition in an EFL classroom through student-generated glossaries, asking: which parts of speech students prefer, which semantic domains dominate, and how accurately and complexly students use target words in example sentences. Using purposive sampling, a descriptive content analysis was conducted on glossaries from three first-semester undergraduates. Entries and example sentences were coded in NVivo for part of speech, semantic domain, grammatical accuracy (error type), and sentence complexity; pilot coding and reliability checks informed the final codebook. Results showed nouns predominated (231 references), and high-frequency domains included idioms, people/relationships, technology, travel, and healthcare (390 references overall). Of 364 example sentences, simple sentences were most common (245), with complex (72), compound (38), and compound-complex (9) less frequent. Across sentences, 83 grammatical errors were identified, most often comma splices (10), missing verbs (9), and unclear meaning (9). These findings indicate learners' preference towards simple forms and struggle with clause boundary punctuation, verb form, and meaning clarity, underscoring the need for instruction that integrates form–meaning–use and sentence-level practice. Future research should enlarge the sample, examine proficiency and L1 effects, and test interventions that pair glossary building with guided example-sentence construction and feedback.

Abstract

The Merdeka Curriculum emphasizes contextual teaching and learning (CTL) that is meaningful and applicable, yet its implementation can be hindered without Culturally Responsive Pedagogy (CRP). Textbooks, as primary learning media, play a strategic role in representing ethnic, religious, and gender diversity. Preliminary observation of Indonesian English textbooks indicated unequal representation, leading this study to address three research questions: (1) how ethnicity, religion, and gender are represented in the textbook, (2) to what extent these representations reinforce or challenge existing stereotypes, and (3) what implications they have for shaping students’ perceptions of diversity and equality. This study employed qualitative content analysis with a descriptive approach on My Next Words Grade 6 – Student’s Book for Elementary School (2022), focusing on Unit 8 “I Will Go to Dufan.” Findings reveal a gender imbalance, with male characters more dominant (61%) than female characters (39%), reflecting traditional stereotypes but also showing some inclusive portrayals. Hijab-wearing girls are actively represented, challenging passive stereotypes, while ethnic representation remains minimal, limited to cultural symbols. The study concludes that the textbook retains gender and ethnic bias despite progressive steps in religious and cultural aspects. Recommendations include enhancing female and minority ethnic representation, strengthening teachers’ critical literacy, and enforcing stricter curriculum policies on equity.

Abstract

Era digital ini penggunaan media pembelajaran audio visual dalam pembelajaran telah menjadi salah satu trend yang banyak diaplikasikan untuk memfasilitasi peningkatan pemahaman peserta didik. Pengajian ini bertujuan untuk mengeksplorasi peran media pembelajaran audio visual dalam meningkatkan pemahaman peserta didik pada pembelajran pendidikan agama Hindu. Pendidikan agama Hindu memegang peran yang sangat strategis dalam membentuk karakter, moral dan pemahaman spiritual peserta didik. Namun kompleksitas materi acap kali menjadi tantangan tersendiri bagi pendidik. Seiring dengan perkembangan teknologi, media audio visual muncul sebagai upaya solutif dalam proses pembelajaran. Media audio visual mampu mengintegrasikan unsur audia dan visual secara simultan sehingga materi yang bersifat kompleks dapat tersampaikan dengan lebih menarik, interaktif, serta mudah dipahami oleh peserta didik. Hasil pengajian dari literature review menunjukkan media audio visual mampu meningkatkan pemahaman, partisipasi aktif peserta didik, dan hasil belajar peserta didik. Penggunaan media audio visual ini juga mampu memperkuat struktur kognitif peserta didik dengan menyajikan materi secara konkret seperti kehidupan nyata peserta didik.
