Abstract

Anxiety in writing contains tension, nervousness, worry, and a wide variety of other negative feelings when someone is given a task to write in a certain situation. The objective of this study is to figure out whether or not there is a significant correlation between EFL students' anxiety and their English writing skills. The subject of the study is the fourth semester of EFL students in the State Islamic Institute of Fattahul Muluk Papua. The study focused on a correlational method of two quantifiable variables involving anxiety and English writing skills. Two instruments are used in this study including Foreign Language Writing Anxiety Inventory (FLWAI) developed by Cheng and the writing test developed by Heaton. The samples are 40 EFL students as the respondents and the data were calculated by Pearson product-moment. The findings reveal that there is a significant correlation between EFL students’ anxiety and their English writing skills at a high level. It means that the lower anxiety belongs to EFL students, the better they write in English. Moreover, cognitive anxiety is the most influential anxiety on EFL students’ English writing skills. Then, it is followed by somatic anxiety, and avoidance behavior is also fairly influential.

Abstract

The use of the deactivate read receipts feature has become increasingly common among various groups, including students. However, its use has sparked both positive and negative responses. This study aims to investigate students’ perceptions of this feature within the context of academic communication, particularly in interactions with lecturers. Moreover, it explores the implications arising from deactivating read receipts in such communication. Employing a descriptive qualitative approach, the study involved twelve EFL students and four lecturers as participants. Data were collected through online observation and semi-structured interviews. Online observation involved gathering screenshots of chat interactions between students and lecturers, while interviews were conducted using an interview guide and audio recordings. The collected data were analyzed using discourse analysis, comprising four stages: data recording, transcription, selection, and interpretation. The findings reveal three dimensions of student perception. First, the cognitive dimension reflects that the feature is perceived as impolite in academic contexts but considered normal in non-academic contexts. Second, the affective dimension shows that it can evoke both emotional discomfort and neutrality. Third, the conative dimension includes tendencies toward message resending and communication uncertainty. Additionally, the deactivation of read receipts has been found to lead to miscommunication and foster negative assumptions on the part of the message recipient toward the sender. Consequently, further research is recommended to explore this phenomenon in greater depth.

Abstract

This study explores EFL teachers’ perspectives on integrating Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies into reading comprehension instruction in Papua, Indonesia. This study employed a quantitative descriptive survey, conducted with 17 teachers from elementary, junior high, and senior high schools. Data were collected through an online questionnaire and analyzed using descriptive statistics. Findings showed that teachers were generally familiar with AI and express confidence in its use, particularly with widely accessible tools such as ChatGPT and Grammarly. Teachers viewed AI as beneficial for enhancing comprehension and providing personalized support, yet remained cautious about its potential to motivate students. Challenges on AI usage included lack of training, limited infrastructure, and ethical concerns such as plagiarism and student over-reliance. Teachers emphasized the importance of having access to AI-based tools, opportunities for peer collaboration, and focused professional development in order to overcome these challenges. The study indicates that although integrating AI has the potential to enhance reading comprehension, adoption of this technology is still at a transitional stage. Clear ethical standards, fair resource distribution, and teacher-centered training will all be necessary for successful implementation.

Abstract

Penelitian terdahulu umumnya memposisikan permainan seriasi sebagai bentuk stimulasi yang berfokus pada aspek perkembangan tertentu secara parsial. Oleh karena itu, kajian yang menelaah permainan seriasi sebagai pendekatan pembelajaran terpadu dalam mengembangkan seluruh aspek perkembangan anak usia dini secara holistik masih relatif terbatas. Oleh karenanya, tujuan dari penelitian ini untuk mengetahui bagaimana permainan seriasi dalam mengembangkan 6 aspek perkembangan anak di Taman Kanak-Kanak Putra I Loa Janan Ulu Kalimantan Timur. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalan kualitatif deskriptif. Teknik analisis data yang digunakan Teknik analisis Miles & Huberman. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan permainan seriasi di TK Putra 1 Loa Janan merupakan strategi pembelajaran yang efektif dalam menstimulasi perkembangan anak usia dini secara holistik, meliputi aspek kognitif, nilai agama dan moral, psikomotorik, bahasa, sosial-emosional, dan seni. Permainan seriasi mampu mengembangkan kemampuan berpikir logis dan simbolik melalui aktivitas mengurutkan dan membandingkan objek, meningkatkan motorik halus melalui koordinasi mata dan tangan, serta mendorong interaksi sosial, komunikasi, dan perilaku prososial. Selain itu, permainan seriasi bersifat fleksibel dan adaptif karena dapat diterapkan baik secara tatap muka maupun daring dengan melibatkan peran orang tua, sehingga tetap mendukung keberlangsungan pembelajaran dan penilaian perkembangan anak secara kontekstual dan berkelanjutan.
