Abstract

This study investigated the prevalence and types of rhetorical fallacies in the argumentative sections of English education theses, despite overall grammatical accuracy. Drawing on Toulmin’s argument model, cognitive reasoning theories, and nexus-juncture analysis, three-fifty undergraduate theses from three universities in Indonesia were analyzed qualitatively. Common fallacies such as hasty generalization, false cause, strawman, circular reasoning, and either/or reasoning were identified and mapped onto Toulmin’s components (claims, warrants, backing, rebuttals). Findings revealed that students demonstrated competency in grammatical structures but often lacked logical consistency in their arguments which led to flawed reasoning that undermined their thesis statements. The findings recommended that integrating rhetorical fallacy identification into writing instruction could improve both the clarity and validity of student arguments. This study highlighted the need for focused pedagogical strategies to address both grammar and reasoning skills in argumentative writing to promote effective and persuasive academic communication in English education.

Abstract

Keterampilan pemodelan tiga dimensi (3D) semakin dibutuhkan seiring berkembangnya teknologi desain dalam dunia pendidikan tinggi. Mahasiswa dituntut tidak hanya memahami konsep desain, tetapi juga mampu mengoperasikan perangkat lunak yang mendukung proses visualisasi. Kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini bertujuan memberikan pelatihan SketchUp kepada mahasiswa agar mereka memiliki kemampuan dasar dalam membuat model 3D secara mandiri. Pelatihan diikuti oleh 33 mahasiswa dan dilakukan melalui penjelasan materi, demonstrasi penggunaan tool, serta praktik langsung yang diakhiri dengan pembuatan desain interior café sebagai proyek akhir. Hasil evaluasi menunjukkan adanya peningkatan pemahaman dan keterampilan peserta setelah mengikuti kegiatan. Mahasiswa yang semula belum terbiasa dengan antarmuka SketchUp mampu menyelesaikan model dengan proporsi yang lebih tepat, susunan geometri yang lebih rapi, serta variasi material yang sesuai kebutuhan desain. Mereka juga menyatakan lebih percaya diri dalam mengerjakan tugas berbasis pemodelan 3D. Secara umum, pelatihan ini memberikan dampak positif terhadap penguasaan teknologi desain dan dapat menjadi dasar bagi pengembangan kemampuan yang lebih lanjut.

Abstract

Abstrak. Arsitektur vernakular merupakan manifestasi harmonis antara manusia, lingkungan, dan nilai budaya yang diwariskan lintas generasi. Dalam konteks Indonesia, rumah tradisional Toraja atau Tongkonan menjadi representasi paling kuat dari kearifan lokal yang mengintegrasikan aspek sosial, spiritual, dan ekologis. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menafsirkan hubungan antara nilai budaya dan prinsip keberlanjutan dalam arsitektur Tongkonan, dengan menyoroti bagaimana transformasi material dan fungsi ruang mencerminkan adaptasi terhadap modernitas tanpa kehilangan makna simbolik. Metode yang digunakan adalah kualitatif-deskriptif melalui studi pustaka dan analisis tematik terhadap berbagai literatur mengenai arsitektur vernakular, nilai budaya, serta desain berkelanjutan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Tongkonan berfungsi sebagai sistem pengetahuan hidup yang mengatur tatanan sosial dan spiritual masyarakat Toraja, sekaligus menerapkan prinsip arsitektur hijau melalui ventilasi alami, penggunaan bahan lokal, serta orientasi ruang yang responsif terhadap iklim tropis. Transformasi yang terjadi bukanlah degradasi budaya, melainkan bentuk pelestarian dinamis yang memungkinkan inovasi berbasis nilai lokal. Dengan demikian, Tongkonan tidak hanya menjadi artefak tradisional, tetapi juga model konseptual bagi praktik arsitektur berkelanjutan yang menyatukan efisiensi ekologis dan ketahanan budaya dalam satu kesatuan harmonis.Kata Kunci: Arsitektur Vernakular, Tongkonan, Kearifan Lokal, Keberlanjutan, Nilai Spiritual

Abstract

The research analyzed student writing samples to identify common challenges such as vague conclusions, overuse of passive voice, and syntactic fragmentation by focusing on three key pedagogical components: genre-specific rhetorical moves, service lexicon precision, and contextual register awareness. Findings revealed that students often lacked awareness of professional genre conventions, resulting in ineffective expression of experiential learning and accountability. Through targeted instruction that incorporated move-based modeling with lexical enhancement and discourse-level sensitivity, participants demonstrated significant improvement in clarity, coherence and professional tone. The research underscored the effectiveness of an integrated and genre-informed approach in elevating students’ communicative competence in hospitality reporting tasks could offer implications for curriculum design in ESP contexts.

Abstract

This study investigated narrative coherence in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) writing through a cognitive-rhetorical framework that integrated event causality mapping, referential consistency, and affective trajectory control. Conducted at two private universities in North Sumatra, the study involved 24 third-year EFL students enrolled in academic writing courses. Using discourse analysis of student narratives and targeted revision tasks, the study revealed frequent disruptions in logical event sequencing, inconsistent referent tracking, and unstable emotional flow. Findings indicated that guided instruction using cognitive-rhetorical strategies significantly enhanced students’ ability to construct coherent narratives. The proposed framework supported deeper rhetorical awareness and cognitive control in written storytelling. It offered practical implications for EFL pedagogy in Indonesian university contexts.

Abstract

This qualitative study investigated the transformative experiences of pre-service English teachers during microteaching at two private universities in North Sumatra, Indonesia. Involving a purposive sample of 14 Indonesian pre-service teachers, data were collected through teaching journals, classroom observations, audio-visual recordings, and stimulated recall interviews. Thematic analysis was used, guided by Vygotsky’s ZPD, Schon’s reflective practice, and Wenger’s comunicative practices theory. Findings revealed shifts from routine teaching to adaptive, student-centered strategies characterized by pedagogical adjustment, reflective awareness, and instructional skill refinement. Participants showed increased sensitivity to timing, language accuracy, emotional climate, and sociocultural engagement. The study highlighted microteaching as a dynamic platform for identity formation and pedagogical growth. The research offered critical insights into teacher development and suggested future studies with broader contexts to capture sustained transformation in English education.

Abstract

This community service activity was carried out with the aim of introducing and training the use of QRIS (Quick Response Code Indonesian Standard) to MSME cracker sales in Tulungagung as an alternative to a non-cash payment system. So far, the cracker sales transaction process has been carried out entirely in cash, so business actors do not have the knowledge or experience in using digital payment methods. In fact, the development of the digital economy in Indonesia shows a significant increase in the use of QR-based payments, especially in the MSME sector. Through this activity, participants were given an understanding of the basic concept of digital payments, the benefits of QRIS for small business actors, and the technical stages of its registration and use through banking applications and digital wallets. The implementation method consists of socialization, training on the practice of creating a QRIS merchant account, and transaction simulation using the devices of each participant. The results of the activity indicated that all participants were able to create a QRIS account independently, understand how to make and receive payments, and realize that the non-cash method can be a practical, safe, and efficient option for their business. This activity is the first step to increase digital financial literacy for MSME actors in the traditional food sector, as well as open up opportunities for them to be integrated into the national digital economy ecosystem.

Abstract

This study investigated linguistic racism in Indonesian EFL classrooms, where Standard English dominated and marginalized regional linguistic identities. Employing Critical Race Theory, raciolinguistics, and postcolonial applied linguistics, it analyzed observations, interviews, and discourse from three junior high schools in Medan. Findings revealed that regional accents and non-standard grammar were policed, corrected, and ridiculed, fostering internalized hierarchies that equated fluency with whiteness and global prestige. English-only policies and Anglo-American curricular content further silenced diverse voices, perpetuating colonial language gatekeeping. Emotional harm, identity suppression, and peer surveillance exacerbated students’ withdrawal and conformity pressures. Nevertheless, students resisted through translanguaging, code-switching, parody, and peer support, asserting hybrid identities and challenging hegemonic norms. The study called for pedagogical reforms embracing culturally responsive and inclusive approaches that validated multilingualism, dismantled linguistic hierarchies, and promoted equitable English learning. This shift was vital to transform classrooms from sites of exclusion to spaces where diverse linguistic identities were empowered.
