Abstract

Aquaponics is an agricultural system that combines fish farming (aquaculture) with soilless plant cultivation (hydroponics), which mutually support each other and provide dual benefits. When compared to conventional agricultural cultivation, aquaponics offers advantages in terms of efficient water use, minimal use of chemical fertilizers, and high yield productivity. The purpose of this community service is to provide training and mentoring in aquaponic cultivation systems to the Ani'fu farmer group in Fatuneno Village. The activity methods include site observation, preparation (aquaponic tools and materials), training, mentoring, and evaluation. The results obtained after the activity are that partners become aware of aquaponic technology, meet community needs, and provide economic impacts (savings on food expenditure or additional income from harvests). The application of aquaponic cultivation provides tangible results in increasing the knowledge and skills of partners, thereby greatly supporting food independence and enabling the development of new businesses for the local community.

Abstract

Implementasi Kurikulum Merdeka yang digulirkan pemerintah Indonesia banyak menimbulkan kegagapan di sekolah, khususnya para guru. Para guru harus belajar dan berlatih lebih banyak tentang kurikulum baru ini. Sekolah-sekolah yang berada di kota dengan jaringan internet yang lancar barangkali menerima informasi tentang Implementasi Kurikulum Merdeka dengan mudah. Hal ini tentunya tidak sama dengan sekolah-sekolah yang ada di pedalaman, termasuk SMP Negeri Teflasi. Sekolah dengan akses yang terjal dan kondisi jaringan internet yang buruk menjadikan informasi tentang Implementasi Kurikulum Merdeka tidak mudah diperoleh. Tujuan adanya program pengabdian sosialisasi di SMP Negeri Teflasi adalah untuk memberikan informasi berkaitan dengan Implementasi Kurikulum Merdeka beserta platform merdeka belajar. Kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat Sosialisasi Pengenalan Kurikulum Merdeka ini disampaikan kepada para guru SMP Negeri Teflasi Kabupaten Timor Tengah Utara. Metode pelaksanaan kegiatan ini adalah metode presentasi yang  menampilkan materi melalui LCD dan juga demonstrasi langsung platform merdeka belajar melalui smartphone.

Abstract

This study investigates the use of code mixing by an English teacher in an EFL classroom at SMPN 1 Kefamenanu, East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia. The study aims to identify the types of code mixing employed, determine the dominant type, and explore the pedagogical reasons underlying its use during classroom interaction. A qualitative case study design was employed involving one English teacher teaching ninth-grade students in the academic year 2025/2026. Data were collected through non-participant classroom observation, audio recordings, and an open-ended questionnaire. Classroom interactions were transcribed and analyzed using Muysken’s typology of code mixing, which includes insertion, alternation, and congruent lexicalization. The findings revealed 55 utterances containing code mixing, consisting of insertion and alternation, while congruent lexicalization was absent. Alternation emerged as the dominant type, accounting for 43 utterances (78%), whereas insertion occurred in 12 utterances (22%). The teacher predominantly employed code mixing to facilitate comprehension, clarify instructional content, support students with limited vocabulary, maintain effective classroom communication, and create a more comfortable learning environment. The findings suggest that code mixing functions as a purposeful pedagogical strategy in multilingual EFL classrooms, particularly in contexts where students have limited English proficiency. This study contributes to sociolinguistic research on classroom discourse by providing empirical evidence from a junior high school context in Eastern Indonesia, which remains underrepresented in previous studies.
