Abstract

Media pembelajaran interaktif (MPI) merupakan komponen penting dalam meningkatkan pencapaian siswa sekaligus motivasi mereka. Dalam pembelajaran bahasa Inggris, reading menjadi topik yang cukup sulit untuk dipelajari. Ketersediaan teks yang panjang serta soal yang rumit membutuhkan bantuan media yang cukup efketif dan menarik, maka MPI adalah jawabannya. Untuk mengembangkan MPI, terdapat banyak alat yang bisa digunakan. Pilihan paling lumrah dan efisien adalah Microsoft Powerpoint (PPT). Guru dapat memanfaatkan PPT dalam pengembangan MPI asalkan mengetahui beragam fitur yang dibutuhkan. Di area Sumatera Selatan sendiri, yang mana masih ada wilayah-wilayah terbatas akan koneksi internet, PPT bisa diandalkan dalam hal media pembelajaran. Untuk itu, Ogan Komering Ulu Selatan (OKUS) menjadi target pendampingan tim Pengabdian Kepada Masyarakat FKIP Universitas Sriwijaya. Letaknya yang cukup sulit ditempuh dan sarana internetnya yang kurang stabil dapat dibantu dengan kehadiran MPI berbantuan PPT. Kegiatan dilaksanakan mulai dari September hingga Oktober 2024. Mode luring dan daring menjadi pilihan tim pelaksana. Secara bergantian, anggota tim menyampaikan materi-materi yang telah disusun. Lalu, di minggu ke-empat pendampingan, seluruh peserta diminta untuk mengembangkan MPI mereka sendiri yang nantinya akan digunakan di kelas. Keberhasilan pendampingan diukur melalui pre-test dan postest yang disebar secara digital. 25 orang guru yang berasal dari MGMP Bahasa Inggris OKU Selatan terdaftar sebagai peserta kegiatan ini. Pada akhir program, kedua puluh lima orang peserta ini berhasil mengembangkan media pembelajaran interaktif masing-masing dan mereka juga menunjukkan peningkatan pada beberapa elemen seperti pemahaman konsep MPI (52.6%), pemahaman fitur PPT (57.1%), integrasi audio/video ke dalam slide (71.4%), dan langkah-langkah pembuatan MPI (63.2%).

Abstract

Pengajaran bahasa Inggris untuk pelajar muda di Indonesia masih kontroversial di kalangan guru dan orang tua. Orang tua sangat memperhatikan kemajuan anaknya dalam berkomunikasi dan berinteraksi. Banyak kursus dan program bahasa Inggris dengan cepat menarik anak-anak dan keluarga mereka dari latar belakang kelas menengah hingga kelas atas. Pengajaran bahasa Inggris di Indonesia tampaknya memaksa siswa untuk mengetahui aturan dan mengembangkan kalimat. Selain itu, beberapa guru yang mengajar bahasa Inggris kepada siswa muda tidak memiliki pengalaman pendidikan yang sesuai untuk mengajar siswa muda. Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk menggali persepsi dan strategi dalam TEYL serta menggunakan metode kualitatif. Subyek penelitian adalah guru dan orang tua. Akibatnya, dua faktor penting harus ditangani dalam pengajaran bahasa Inggris untuk pelajar muda. Aspek pertama adalah persepsi; salah satu aspek terpenting dari pengajaran bahasa Inggris kepada pelajar muda adalah memperoleh persepsi dari orang tua dan guru. Guru dan orang tua sangat percaya bahwa semakin muda seorang anak mulai belajar bahasa Inggris, semakin banyak pengetahuan yang mereka dapatkan. Dengan nilai tertinggi pada persepsi guru yaitu 73 dari 80. Sedangkan pada persepsi orang tua nilai tertinggi diperoleh 57 dari 60.  Aspek kedua adalah strategi; guru menerapkan strategi yang baik mengikuti kondisi dan situasi sekolah. Dalam hal ini, pembelajaran berbasis video adalah cara yang paling cocok untuk acara siswa, dan berisi pengembangan karakter siswa.

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic led to the worldwide closure of educational institutions, forcing a shift from face-to-face to fully online learning. As the pandemic subsided, traditional teaching resumed. This study aimed to explore English teaching and learning in higher education across three phases—before, during, and after the pandemic—by examining differences in activities and technology used. A phenomenological approach was employed, with semi-structured interviews for data collection. Purposive sampling selected eight participants—three lecturers and five students—from the English Education Department of Sriwijaya University. The findings revealed that while learning activities were largely similar across the three phases, the technology and media used varied. Before the pandemic, participants had limited exposure to online platforms, but the pandemic introduced them to new digital tools and methods. In the post-pandemic phase, participants embraced more flexibility, adopting face-to-face, online, hybrid, or blended learning models using suitable platforms. This shift has led to a general preference for the post-pandemic approach to English teaching and learning.

Abstract

English instruction provided in vocational schools (SMK) possesses distinct characteristics when compared to English instruction in general schools. Considering the vocational schools' objective of preparing students to compete effectively in the workforce, it becomes necessary to adapt the instructional materials to cater to the students' specific needs. This research aims to identify the requirements of students in developing culturally-based English reading materials, as assessed from the perspectives of both students and teachers. A combination of questionnaires and interviews was employed to gather the necessary information. A comprehensive analysis, encompassing both quantitative and qualitative aspects, was conducted on the collected data. The findings of the needs assessment unveiled the following key points: 1) students continue to face difficulties in understanding what they read; 2) there is a demand for descriptive texts; 3) English reading materials should be integrated with content relevant to other subjects; and 4) no English reading materials currently exist that consider the students' local culture, specifically the Prabumulih culture. To fulfill these requirements, it is imperative to create supplementary reading resources that incorporate local culture, align with the students' reading proficiency, and support the subject matter effectively.
