Abstract

This study investigates the use of songs with moving lyrics on the Spotify app as a medium to improve the pronunciation skills of first-grade vocational high school students. This classroom action research was conducted at SMK TI YPML and employed pre-tests, post-tests, observation checklists, and questionnaires to evaluate the effectiveness of the intervention. The results showed the effectiveness of using songs with moving lyrics on the Spotify app to enhance English pronunciation skills, specifically focusing on stress patterns among students, conducted through a single cycle approach. Pre-test results revealed a mean score of 52, with 80% of students below the competency benchmark of 66. Post-test scores improved significantly, with the average rising to 63 and 60% of students meeting the learning objectives. Observational data indicated high levels of attendance, involvement, and enjoyment, while questionnaire responses showed a good understanding of pronunciation concepts, despite some challenges in engagement and specific sound articulation. These findings demonstrate the positive impact of innovative teaching methods on pronunciation skills, particularly in mastering stress patterns, while also highlighting the need for additional support for struggling students.

Abstract

The community empowerment program on household organic waste management in Kampung Kebon Cau, Indonesia, aimed to promote sustainable waste management practices through environmental education, simple composting technology, and small-scale entrepreneurship. Using participatory methods, community members received training, composting tools, and post-implementation mentoring. The results revealed significant improvements in participants’ understanding and skills in composting, with an adoption rate exceeding 80% and a 55% reduction in organic waste volume. Participating households also experienced enhanced environmental cleanliness through the use of compost and Aloe vera-based products. Socially, the initiative fostered collective environmental responsibility and strengthened the local green economy. The program demonstrates that integrating community-based education with low-cost technology can effectively reinforce circular economy practices and support Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production) and 13 (Climate Action). The findings contribute to the growing literature on community-based sustainable waste management and offer a replicable model for rural, urban, and semi-urban contexts, with potential for integration into digital monitoring systems to ensure long-term sustainability.
