Abstract

This study examines the influence of childhood experiences on the character development of fifth-semester English Literature students at Universitas Ba-likpapan through a psychoanalytic perspective. Utilizing qualitative meth-ods, including surveys and interviews, the research explores how early life experiences, internal conflicts, and academic environments shape students' social interactions and decision-making processes. The findings indicate that 65.6% of respondents feel their childhood experiences significantly affect their current social interactions, aligning with Sigmund Freud's theory that early developmental stages impact adult personality. Additionally, 34.4% of student’s report that past emotional experiences influence their ability to face academic challenges, highlighting the role of the id, ego, and superego in managing internal conflicts. The study underscores the importance of pos-itive interactions with educators in reinforcing moral values and shaping student character, suggesting that higher education should not only focus on academic knowledge but also support holistic character development. The implications for educators include creating an environment conducive to fostering students' emotional resilience and integrity.

Abstract

Collaborative writing offers a powerful pedagogical approach that significantly enhances essay writing skills. By encouraging students to work together, it fosters a dynamic environment where diverse perspectives and knowledge converge to create more robust academic work. This shared intellectual journey moves beyond solitary writing, promoting clear articulation, active listening, and effective negotiation of meaning. Brainstorming in groups sparks innovative ideas and arguments, while providing and receiving constructive feedback deepens understanding of rhetoric and argumentation. Students become more attuned to their audience, collectively striving for clarity and persuasive impact. Ultimately, collaborative writing not only yields higher-quality essays but also cultivates essential teamwork, communication, and critical thinking skills applicable beyond academia, leading to students’ improvement. A qualitative study explored the impact of collaboratively designed materials on college students' English writing. The research revealed a significant students’ improvement in their writing, marked by richer ideas and expanded vocabulary, compared to previous individual learning. Notably, student participation in collaborative writing sessions also increased, suggesting a positive correlation between this approach and learning motivation. The findings indicate that collaborative learning in a professional context can effectively boost engagement and enhance the quality of students' written work, contributing to overall students’ improvement in their writing skills.

Abstract

This study investigates gender-based performance differences in the Institutional Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) modeled on the Paper-Based Test (PBT) like format. A total of 261 Indonesian undergraduates (56 males, 201 females) completed a pre-test, participated in a one-month TOEFL preparation program, and then sat for a post-test. Using a mixed-method design, the study analyzed section-specific score gains and interpreted the results through classroom observations of participation and engagement.  The findings revealed that female students showed greater gains in Listening and Structure, whereas male students showed stronger improvement in Reading and obtained higher overall score gains. Moreover, female learners were more visibly engaged during instruction, frequently asking questions and taking notes, while male learners tended to participate less in class but appeared to rely on independent strategies, particularly for reading tasks. These findings highlight that gendered participation styles may shape section-specific outcomes in PBT-style testing. The study underscores the importance of gender-responsive instructional strategies in TOEFL preparation programs and calls for greater attention to fairness in the design and use of locally developed prediction tests.
