Education in Indonesia shapes children’s character, personality, and abilities, but faces challenges like unequal access to resources, quality differences between regions, and low reading interest among children. This study aims to develop AI-based children’s storybooks through the Fry readability for elementary students. This study used the ADDIE model, which includes Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation. Results showed that AI-based storybooks can improve children’s reading interest and help teachers provide support based on students’ competence. The score of Expert validation was 37 out of 40 (92.5%), and media expert validation was 52 out of 55 (94.5%). Fry readability ensures the reading level is suitable for fourth to sixth-grade students to improve the quality of elementary education in Indonesia, reduce regional quality gaps, and improve students’ academic performance. The AI-based storybooks significantly boost children’s interest in reading, address low reading engagement, assist teachers in offering more effective educational support, and help bridge educational quality gaps between different regions. The alignment with children’s cognitive development ensures engaging and developmentally appropriate content, demonstrating an innovative approach to educational tools and paving the way for further technological integration in education. Therefore, the development of AI-based children’s storybooks with the Fry readability approach not only increases children’s reading interest but also assists teachers in providing more specific support according to students’ abilities. This innovation is expected to positively impact the quality of elementary education in Indonesia, help address educational quality disparities between regions, and enhance students’ academic achievements at the national level.

English for Specific Purposes (ESP) is essential in maritime education, helping cadets with the language skills required to meet specific learning needs. However, traditional ESP reading instruction often lacks engagement and fails to motivate learners. In response, gamification, which integrates game design elements into learning environments, has emerged as a promising solution to enhance learner engagement and motivation. This study aims to explore cadets’ perceptions of the challenges and benefits of using gamification in ESP reading. The research was conducted using a qualitative case study approach at a maritime academy in East Java, Indonesia, involving 24 cadets. Participants were first-year students with intermediate English language proficiency. Data were collected through six sessions of gamified ESP reading lessons, semi-structured interviews, and participant observations. Thematic analysis was used to examine the cadets’ experiences, focusing on recurring themes related to motivation, learning outcomes, and technological challenges. The results showed that cadets generally expressed positive feelings about gamified ESP reading. They reported increased motivation and engagement due to game elements such as points, leaderboards, and real-time feedback, which made learning more interactive and enjoyable. However, challenges such as limited technological readiness, internet connectivity, and initial confusion with the game interface were also highlighted. Therefore, it can be concluded that gamification shows strong potential in enhancing cadets’ motivation and interest in ESP reading following the challenges and their constraints. These findings underscore the importance of integrating thoughtfully designed gamified strategies in maritime education to foster learner-centered and engaging ESP instruction.

This study describes the perceptions of outbound and inbound students about various supporting factors of the student exchange program at Universitas Negeri Surabaya. This study used an evaluation research design with a descriptive quantitative approach. Data were collected through a questionnaire and analyzed using descriptive statistics. The results show that most respondents said pre-departure communication and support from the university were good or very good. Students also felt ready to join the program, helped by their own motivation and support from their families. They thought it was good that they could take different courses and get cross-credit. However, there were still some problems with adjusting the curriculum. The collaborative learning process and active participation in seminars and workshops strengthen the student learning experience. In addition, the level of tolerance and social acceptance between exchange program students and regular students is very high. This study provides a comprehensive empirical picture of the implementation of the student exchange program and can be a reference for developing more inclusive and adaptive policies in higher education.

Background: The Teaching Factory (TEFA) method has emerged as a practical approach in ESP Maritime English, particularly in enhancing cadets’ participation in simulated maritime scenarios such as loading and unloading communication, onboard communication checking, and goods tracking via phone. Grounded in experiential learning theory, TEFA bridges the gap between theoretical knowledge and real-world application, preparing cadets for industry demands.Methodology: This study used qualitative case study approach to explore seventh-year maritime cadets’ perceptions of the TEFA method. The subjects were seventh semester maritime cadets from maritime academy. Data collection involved classroom observations and semi-structured interviews, focusing on the cadets’ engagement, confidence, and learning outcomes.Findings: The results showed that 65% of cadets agreed that TEFA made learning Maritime English easier, while 60% found the method enjoyable and engaging. Additionally, 55% of cadets reported reduced anxiety, attributing their increased confidence to the hands-on learning experience provided by TEFA simulations. However, 15% of cadets remained neutral, expressing the need for more structured guidance and additional practice to adapt to the interactive learning approach fully.Conclusion: This study concludes that TEFA effectively bridges the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical maritime communication, making learning more industry relevant. Future research should examine blended learning methods, digital feedback systems, and long-term evaluations to strengthen TEFA’s role in improving cadets’ communication skills and preparedness for maritime operations. Integrating online and practical training can enhance learning flexibility while reinforcing real-world application through virtual simulations. Digital feedback tools can help cadets refining pronunciation and fluency by providing immediate assessments and personalized guidance.Originality: This study addresses a gap in understanding how TEFA influences cadets’ perceptions and learning outcomes in ESP Maritime English, particularly in simulated maritime scenarios. It provides insights into the method’s effectiveness and areas for improvement, offering a foundation for future innovations in maritime education.

This study examines veterinary students’ perceptions and reading comprehension of English for Specific Purposes (ESP) texts in veterinary science. The subjects were 60 undergraduate veterinary students who participated in the study by responding to a 20-item questionnaire that assessed four dimensions: relevance, perceived difficulty, reading strategies, and text format. The students also completed an eight-item reading comprehension test based on authentic veterinary texts. The findings showed that students generally held positive perceptions toward the ESP materials, particularly in terms of text format and support, while still acknowledging linguistic challenges related to vocabulary and sentence structure. The average reading comprehension score was 5.5 out of 8, indicating a moderate level of understanding. Correlation analysis revealed weak but statistically significant positive relationships between perceptions of relevance (r = 0.26, p < .05) and difficulty (r = 0.28, p < .05) with reading comprehension performance. These results highlight that while veterinary students recognize the importance of ESP reading materials, pedagogical interventions are necessary to enhance comprehension outcomes. The study underscores the importance of scaffolding techniques, vocabulary support, and structured pre-reading activities in ESP courses for veterinary students.ed pre-reading activities in ESP courses for veterinary students
