Vocabulary acquisition is one of the fundamental aspects of English language learning, especially for primary school-aged children who are in the early stages of language acquisition. Basic vocabulary related to nature was chosen because it has proximity to the child’s daily life, making it more understandable and interesting to learn. This community service activity was implemented by Gorontalo State University English Education lecturers with the aim of introducing basic English vocabulary on nature to primary school children of grades 4-6 in Tilongkabila Subdistrict, Bone Bolango County, Gorontalo Province. The activity implementation method uses a nature-based exploration approach through outdoor learning in the courtyard. Activities take place in one encounter with stages in the form of ice breaking, vocabulary introduction using pictured cards and real objects, as well as simple game activities to reinforce comprehension. Evaluation was conducted qualitatively through observation of children’s responses during the activity, including enthusiasm, engagement, and ability to pronounce the taught vocabulary. Activity results showed that the children were very enthusiastic, active, and capable of naming a number of basic nature-related vocabulary although with pronunciation that still needed guidance. These activities provide a fun learning experience, increase motivation, and foster children’s interest in continuing to learn English through a contextualized nature-based approach.

This research was conducted based on the problem, namely second semester students in the English Education Program FSB UNG face the problem of lack of knowledge in composing narrative texts, especially strategies for getting ideas and organizing them into paragraphs. This condition makes most students reluctant to learn to write. There are complicated rules in writing that cannot be ignored, when students write something, they must pay more attention to spelling, punctuation, diction, grammar, the purpose of their writing, and their own writing ideas. In addition, they are confused about how to start writing ideas into a good narrative text. This study collected qualitative data using observation techniques, narrative writing tests, and interviews. The results are; first, students have difficulty organizing ideas in narrative writing. Second; lack of vocabulary, which makes students write sentences that are less communicative. Finally; students are confused about the correctness of the grammar they compose. Based on the results of the analysis, the researcher concluded that there are three reasons that cause students to have difficulty in starting to write. First, organizing ideas, when students are able to express what they want to write but have difficulty putting it into written form. Second, a lack of vocabulary leads students to write less communicative sentences. Finally, due to a lack of grammatical accuracy, students are confused about their writing. Previous research has found similar student difficulties with vocabulary, grammar, and linguistics, including research by Marzona et al. (2019), Nandha et al. (2022), and Fadilah et al. (2024). All of these issues make it difficult for students to begin writing.

This article aims to discuss the role of discourse analysis in literary analysis. For this aim, the writers apply Sperber and Wilson's theory of relevance. This theory says that the meaning of utterance might be analyzed in terms of explicature, higher-level explicature, and implicature. The drama analyzed is Arthur Miller's Death of a Salesman. The writers suggest that discourse analysis can function to analyze the language used in the context of drama and that this analysis should be applied in studying literary works.

The study focused on how project-based learning (PBL) is applied as a demonstrative learning method to foster the listening skills of second-year students of the English Language Education Study Program (ELESP) in Universitas Negeri Gorontalo (UNG) for a real-world purpose. This qualitative case study explored the implementation of project-based learning (PBL) to develop listening skills among university students, utilizing classroom observations, student interactions, and document analysis for comprehensive insights. Thematic analysis of classroom observations and document analysis unveiled three significant themes: Critical Listening Competence; Active Engagement and Collaboration; Real-Life Context of Listening Skills The results show that students made considerable progress with their listening skills by utilizing real-world projects that emulate authentic communication situations. Collaborative activities provide opportunities for peer engagement and critical thinking, creating a supportive learning environment. The study also emphasizes that educators need to adapt teaching methods, incorporating technology, and provide a variety of listening resources to prepare students for the complexities of professional listening demands. To address these challenges, recommendations for improving the implementation of PBL, including additional educator’s training and the use of effective assessment tools, were made. In conclusion, the research shows how experiential learning can enhance students’ listening skills.

Cooperative learning, especially through Jigsaw and STAD methods, is widely employed to enhance student engagement and academic achievement. This research reviews the effectiveness of implementing Jigsaw and STAD cooperative learning in high school English classrooms in Indonesia. The qualitative approach involves library research, analyzing 40 studies spanning 2013 to the present. Findings indicate that both strategies can be applied to all English skills, with STAD more suited for receptive skills and Jigsaw for productive skills. The flexibility of these strategies allows adaptation to diverse student conditions, learning topics, and objectives. Theoretical benefits include insights into implementing these cooperative learning models, aligning with government initiatives like MBKM and the Merdeka curriculum. Practical benefits include guiding educators and researchers in utilizing these strategies effectively. The research underscores the need for proper application and favorable conditions, emphasizing the importance of resources and educator oversight in cooperative learning success.
