Abstract

In today’s rapidly digitalization educational landscape, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has emerged as a promising tool in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) instruction. Despite its potential to improve teaching efficiency and learner engagement, the integration of AI in Indonesian vocational high schools remains limited and challenging. This study investigates how EFL teachers incorporate AI into their classroom practices, the obstacles they face, and strategies to optimize its use. Using a qualitative case study method, data were collected through open-ended questionnaires and semi-structured interviews with four English teachers at a vocational high school in Karawang, West Java. Thematic analysis was conducted using the Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) framework. The results indicate that major barriers include inadequate infrastructure, poor internet access, limited digital device availability, and sufficient teacher digital literacy. Pedagogical issue such as dependency on AI, reduced creativity, and ethical concerns like plagiarism and decreased student autonomy also surfaced. The study highlights the importance of targeted professional development based on TPACK, improved technological access, and ethical digital literacy in school curricula. These findings offer valuable insights for enhancing AI integration in EFL teaching at the vocational level, with implications for teacher training, curriculum design, and education policy in Indonesia.

Abstract

Edukasi lingkungan sejak dini memiliki peran fundamental dalam membentuk generasi yang peduli dan bertanggung jawab terhadap kelestarian alam. Namun, metode konvensional seringkali kurang efektif dalam menciptakan pengalaman belajar yang bermakna. Melalui kegiatan read-aloud cerita bertema lingkungan, program ini menghadirkan pendekatan interaktif yang tidak hanya menyampaikan informasi, tetapi juga membangun keterlibatan emosional siswa sekolah dasar. Diharapkan, metode ini dapat menginspirasi aksi nyata pelajar sekaligus memperkuat literasi baca, dengan dukungan kolaboratif guru dan komunitas lokal. Tujuan: Kegiatan pengabdian ini bertujuan untuk menumbuhkan kesadaran lingkungan pada siswa sekolah dasar melalui metode read-aloud, yaitu membacakan cerita anak dengan tema lingkungan secara ekspresif dan interaktif. Kegiatan ini dilaksanakan di SDN 02 Karangreja, di Kabupaten Bekasi, melibatkan siswa kelas 1 sebanyak 40 orang. Tahapan pelaksanaan meliputi persiapan materi, sosialisasi kepada guru, pelaksanaan sesi read-aloud dan aksi nyata penanaman pohon, serta evaluasi dampak melalui observasi dan wawancara terhadap siswa, guru dan orang tua. Hasil menunjukkan bahwa metode read-aloud tidak hanya memperkuat pemahaman, tetapi juga memotivasi aksi konkret seperti membuang sampah pada tempatnya dan mengurangi penggunaan plastik. Antusiasme siswa terlihat dari tanggapan positif seperti "seru" dan "menyenangkan", membuktikan pendekatan ini efektif menumbuhkan kesadaran lingkungan sekaligus menciptakan pengalaman belajar yang berkesan. Program yang menggabungkan metode read-aloud cerita "Monster Plastik" dengan aksi nyata berhasil meningkatkan pemahaman siswa tentang dampak sampah terhadap lingkungan, termasuk penyebab banjir dan longsor. Kegiatan ini membuktikan bahwa pendekatan literasi berbasis cerita dapat menjadi sarana efektif dalam pendidikan karakter lingkungan.

Abstract

Gender awareness is an important aspect of education that is often under-emphasized in the curriculum. Gender inequality and stereotypes still occur in various environments, including schools. Picture stories with the theme of feminism can be an effective tool in increasing gender awareness among students, especially in language classes that often use literature as a learning medium. This study aims to examine the effectiveness of using feminism-themed picture stories in increasing students' gender awareness in language classes. The study also aims to see the extent to which illustrated stories can change students' views on gender roles and gender inequality. This study uses a classroom action research method (CAR) which involves two cycles. Each cycle consists of planning, implementation, observation, and reflection. Data was collected through observations, interviews, and questionnaires. The participants in this study are students of a language class at a high school in Indonesia. The results of the study show that the use of picture stories with the theme of feminism can significantly increase students' gender awareness. Students become more critical of gender stereotypes and better understand the importance of gender equality. In addition, illustrated stories help students to be more involved in class discussions and voice their views on gender issues. Picture stories with the theme of feminism are an effective tool to increase gender awareness in language classes. This method not only improves students' understanding of gender issues, but also encourages their active participation in class discussions. The use of this media is expected to be adopted more widely in education to reduce gender inequality and form a more gender-conscious generation.
