Abstract

The interaction process that begins with the perception of education actors, namely students and teachers, is one of the factors that influence the success of learning implementation, including learning English. As one of the foreign languages studied in Indonesia, many elementary schools provide English lessons as one of the local contents. This research was conducted to find out the students' perceptions of the implementation of learning English taught in elementary schools. Using descriptive qualitative research methods, this study involved 97 students from nine elementary schools in a municipality in East Java. Data were collected through questionnaires. The data analysis was done by reducing data, presenting data, and drawing conclusions. The results showed that most of the respondents (84.54%) had positive responses regarding learning English at school. There are at least three factors that influence students' interest in learning English, namely students' motivation towards English learning, teacher factors, and fun English learning activities. In addition to studying at school, as many as 63.92% of respondents provide information that they also study English outside of school. This supports learning English in schools to be more effective. On the other hand, the data from the questionnaire also show that students have difficulty in understanding English vocabulary and structure. The results of this study are expected to give recommendations to schools which include teachers and principals to improve the English learning process in order to improve students' English skills for the better and the objectives of learning English to be achieved.

Abstract

As internet technology has become more influential and cultured, online or e-resources are nowadays present as alternatives for teaching materials. The resources themselves play an important role in lesson planning, instruction delivery, and take a part in determining the learning achievement. This study was conducted to investigate the forces that drive elementary school English teachers (N = 178) in utilizing online teaching materials together with the benefits and challenges they faced in using them. From the questionnaire, it was revealed that almost all respondents used and benefited from online resources taken from Google, YouTube, and other search engines. Further investigation through interviews revealed prevalent responses on e-learning materials utilization that are categorized as follows: accessibility, practicality, authenticity, and variety. Other benefits, such as the features of online resources that positively attract young learners in foreign language learning are meaningfully advantageous as they improve students’ learning engagement (SLE). These findings support evidence for e-learning resources as teaching materials for overcoming the shortage of teaching guidelines and materials in English for Young Learners (EYL) classes. Teachers’ responses towards the challenges in using this type of material lead to the implication that schools and other related stakeholders should take serious concerns to equip EYL teachers with professional development or in-service training, particularly in teaching material development and online resources integration.

Abstract

Research on collaborative learning in English for Specific Purposes (ESP), particularly from the students’ perspectives, remains relatively limited due to prevailing focuses on teacher-centered approaches and individual assessment. The present study addresses the gap by exploring how collaborative learning impacts student engagement and outcomes in an English Medical Purposes (EMP) course. A total of 328 Medicine, Nursing, and Nutrition students completed a questionnaire using a 5-point Likert scale to evaluate their perspectives on collaborative learning. Results show overall satisfaction, with mean ratings ranging from 4.00 to 4.25 across key aspects such as utility, alignment with expectations, enjoyment, practical application, sense of community, exchange of ideas, and skill development. These findings underscore the value of collaborative learning in fostering active participation and supportive learning environments. In addition, as the identification of potential weaknesses in current implementations of collaborative learning in EMP contexts was not explored, future research should investigate the challenges and develop targeted strategies to optimize collaborative learning experiences in EMP settings.

Abstract

Mural merupakan karya seni gambar atau lukis yang dibuat di atas media dinding, tembok atau permukaan luas yang bersifat permanen. Di Kota Malang, ada banyak mural yang tersebar, seperti di Kampung Tridi Malang, Kampung Sinau, Taman Rekreasi Rolak, dan lain-lain. Selain menjadikan kampung dan lingkungan menjadi lebih menarik, keberadaan mural juga dapat dimanfaatkan sebagai sarana untuk menyampaikan pesan-pesan moral dan pembelajaran, khususnya anak-anak. Dalam hal ini, mural-mural tersebut dapat berfungsi sebagai sumber literasi dan sarana belajar yang diharapkan dapat meningkatkan minat belajar anak serta menumbuhkan budaya kebiasaan membaca. Kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat ini bertujuan untuk memanfaatkan tembok sebagai sarana belajar. Kegiatan ini dilaksanakan di RW 09 Kelurahan Purwantoro Kecamatan Blimbing Kota Malang yang merupakan salah satu Kampung Ramah Anak di Kota Malang. Di lingkungan ini, banyak area yang dapat dimanfaatkan sebagai media untuk menggambar, ditambah dengan banyaknya anak usia sekolah (dibawah 12 tahun). Dari kegiatan Pengabdian Masyarakat ini, tercipta 10 mural yang mengusung beberapa tema yang berkaitan dengan kesehatan, sopan santun, dan pembelajaran tentang hidup sehat. Kegiatan ini diharapkan dapat mendukung program-program sudah berjalan di RW ini, seperti perpustakaan kampung dan kegiatan belajar bersama sehingga program yang telah berjalan dapat lebih berkembang dan memberikan lebih banyak manfaat.

Abstract

This study examines the role of impromptu speaking in enhancing spontaneous communication skills among university EFL students. The research aims to identify the primary challenges students encounter during impromptu speech and the strategies they utilize before, during, and after the activity. Employing a descriptive qualitative approach, data were gathered through semi-structured interviews and classroom observations involving 44 sixth-semester English major students at Universitas Jambi. Instruments included interview guides and observation checklists. The findings indicate that the main difficulties experienced by students are limited vocabulary, anxiety, poor sentence organization, and unfamiliarity with topics. To address these challenges, students employed various communication strategies, such as simplifying vocabulary, using synonyms, managing anxiety through breathing techniques, and drawing on personal experiences. Post-speech strategies involved vocabulary expansion through reading, regular practice of spontaneous speaking, and seeking peer feedback. The study concludes that despite inherent challenges, impromptu speaking is an effective tool for promoting speaking fluency, confidence, and practical communicative competence. It is recommended that EFL instructors incorporate impromptu speaking activities into their curricula, providing on-going support and strategic guidance to foster students' competence and confidence in speaking.

The present study investigates medical students’ needs for English when studying for their medical degrees which indirectly benefits their professional environments. Through survey-based research, this study examined the communication requirements of students at the Faculty of Medicine at both the academic and professional levels. The data collected through an adapted questionnaire were gathered, examined, and statistically interpreted. Three hundred medical, midwifery, and pharmacy students responded.
