Abstract

The study aims to explore students' perspectives on the implementation of collaborative project-based learning (CPBL) in the Engineering Department as a means to enhance their understanding of the subject matter and develop problem-solving abilities. A quasi-experimental design was employed, and data was collected through a semi-structured questionnaire. The results indicate that CPBL has the potential to improve students' speaking and presentation skills in various aspects, including grammar, discourse competence, sociolinguistics, strategic competence, fluency, accuracy, and presentation skills. The study also recommends further investigation into computer-mediated communication within group projects and suggests incorporating controlled and energizing task speaking during comparison evaluations to foster reflective thinking among both teachers and students. In summary, this research highlights the positive impact of CPBL on language and presentation skills within the Engineering Department, emphasizing its potential benefits for student learning.

Abstract

This study examines the cultural politics affecting Indonesian literature in the global literary arena. It analyses how literary politics, standardisation, implicit agendas, and validation systems impact international reception. The study investigates how global literary standards reshape Indonesian narratives to match international preferences, often at the expense of cultural authenticity. In addition, several works by some prominent Indonesian authors, including Toer, Anwar and Kurniawan are being analysed. Using a descriptive-qualitative approach with discourse analysis, interview and case studies, the research reveals three key findings: translation challenges for Indonesian literary works, limited international publication opportunities, and underrepresentation in global literary awards and criticism. Based on these findings, the study advocates for more inclusive literary practices to enhance Indonesian literature’s global visibility while preserving its cultural integrity.

Abstract

Debate competence is essential in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learning, yet many learners struggle with critical thinking, argumentation, and persuasive communication. While artificial intelligence (AI) offers promising support, evidence of its effectiveness in debate learning remains scarce. This study aims to evaluate the impact of AI Debater technology on the debate performance of EFL learners and explore the perceptions of its use among lecturers and learners. A quasi-experimental design was employed, involving 20 EFL learners and one lecturer, with data collected through observations and online interviews. Post-test results showed significant improvements in debate performance, with mean scores of 77.45 for content, 78.75 for arguments, and 79.35 for claims. Learners also reported positive perceptions: 85% rated the AI Debater as very useful, while 80% and 75% valued its role in developing claims and arguments, and 90% evaluated content positively; however, only 50% found it highly effective for collaboration. Complementing these findings, lecturers perceptions emphasized three areas: (1) reasons for choosing the AI Debater, such as accessibility, up-to-date information, suitability for 21st-century learners, and time efficiency, (2) its impact, including improved critical thinking, reasoning, negotiation, analytical skills, and persuasive communication, and (3) challenges, such as reliability issues, lack of creativity and empathy, and concerns about educational integrity. While AI Debater shows potential for enhancing debate skills, the absence of a control group, small sample size, and limited consideration of contextual factors constrain findings. Future research should address these gaps to deepen the understanding of AI in EFL debate learning.

Abstract

Speaking has an essential role in students’ performance in the English language subject. This study aims to investigate 30 English language students who are given video in the experimental class. The results show that there is an improvement of participants’ English-speaking performance which is indicated by the increase of scores between pre-test and post-test through four speaking components, such as fluency, precision, lexical, and syntactical. The most significant increase is found in the precision aspect with a pre-test value of 1.00 and a post-test value of 3.07. The results also reveal that both written and verbal communication can be improved by using the method of video integrated with Bloom’s taxonomy. However, the limited participants of the study and the length of drilling speaking are confirmed as the limitation of the study. Besides, it implies video integrated taxonomy Bloom for reducing anxiety in learning speaking and classroom activities research (CAR) investigation are recommendations for future study. HIGHLIGHTS: Video integrated with Bloom’s taxonomy implies the development of linguistics and intercultural communication competence simultaneously. Video facilitates learners to improve meaning and lexical complexity The more learners practice speaking with video integrated with Bloom’s Taxonomy, the better their critical thinking.

Abstract

This class action research aims to apply the Numbered Head Together learning model to improve student learning outcomes in English subjects, especially for reading comprehension skills at the junior level, namely in class VII SMP Negeri 1 Merauke in the 2022/2023 academic year. This research is a Classroom Action Research (CAR), where Classroom Action Research (CAR) is research conducted in two stages of the cycle, where each cycle I and cycle II is carried out twice the learning process meeting. Each cycle consists of 4 stages, namely planning, implementation, observation and reflection. The subjects in this study were 32 seventh grade students. The success indicator of this study is if 75% of students can achieve the Minimum Completeness Criteria (KKM) value of 70. The results showed that the application of the Numbered Head Together (NHT) Learning Model in class VII SMP Negeri 1 Merauke showed an increase in the completeness of students' learning achievement in cycle I with an average of 61.65% increasing to 80.28% in cycle II. The percentage of learning completeness also increased from cycle I by 12.5% increasing to 100% in cycle II. In addition, There was also a very significant increase in each teacher and student activity based on the observation sheet. Where in cycle I the teacher's activities were at 89.28% and students at 66.07%, then increased in cycle II, where teacher activities became 96.42% and students at 91.07%.
