Abstract

Trade secrets are one of Intellectual Property forms that is considered most valuable in business. However, result of research shows that trade secrets are not as famous as patents, copyrights, and trademarks. In Indonesia, trade secrets Act has been established by the government since 2000. Following the fact that trade secrets are still not commonly understood by societies, thus it is important to educate societies about trade secrets. This community service selected to educate gen Z in SMAN 1 Semarang since knowledge to trade secrets should be understood as early as possible. Nevertheless, it is worth to note that there are some reasons to conduct the community service in the school, two of them are SMAN 1 Semarang is one of the best high schools in the city and some students have achieved some prestigious awards in research. The methods in carrying the community service were by delivering important points on trade secrets, discussion session, and post-test. Based on the post-test answers, almost all students understood the urgency of trade secrets for business and stated that the event was useful.

Abstract

The social media network has become one of the most favored digital technology platforms for information and entertainment among the public today. However, in social media practices, women often appear as objects that are sexualized or commodified commercially. According to a survey by wearesocial.com and Hootsuite, most internet users in Indonesia fall into the categories of teenagers and young adults. Building upon the results of this survey, community service focuses on the age group of 13 to 18 years old who are currently studying at a Senior High School (SMA). This community service initiative occurs at a Public Senior High School in Semarang City, Central Java. The activity involves the socialization and mentoring of 100 students (50 males and 50 females). This activity influences the perspectives and behaviors of teenagers towards the portrayal of women on social media, leading to an average score change from 39 (before socialization) to an increased average of 89 (after socialization and mentoring), which represents a significant increase.

Abstract

Language assessment is a crucial component of effective language teaching. However, many pre-service teachers lack sufficient training in assessment practices, resulting in a gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application. This study explores how pre-service teachers perceive the effectiveness of a project-based approach to designing and administering real-world language assessments and examines the challenges they face. Combining a closed questionnaire and semi-structured interviews, the study gathers quantitative and qualitative data from twenty-five pre-service teachers. The findings revealed that hands-on involvement in assessment design enhances teachers' understanding of key assessment principles, increases confidence, and bridges the gap between theory and practice. However, participants also faced challenges, particularly in ensuring the validity and reliability of their assessments. These challenges were manageable with the support provided in the course, indicating the value of structured guidance and expert collaboration in developing assessment literacy. The findings underscore the value of integrating theory with practice in teacher training, providing important insights for language assessment education. Future research could examine larger samples, long-term impacts of such training, and the role of digital tools in developing assessment literacy.

Abstract

This study examined the diverse approaches doctoral students take to developing an academic voice when utilizing AI. It examines the manifestation of academic integrity and agency, as well as the interplay among these constructs, through a case study. Thematic analysis, as a data analysis tool, from the responses of six doctoral students enrolled in the Proposal Dissertation Course, sheds light on the critical acceptance of AI. The results of the focus-group discussion and students’ reflective journals reveal that AI is recognized as applicable but does not replace human critical thinking in the manual investigation process. Research shows that students build academic identity through strategies such as making AI a discussion partner to maintain the author’s voice. They also maintain academic integrity by verifying AI sources, avoiding unreal citations, and manually paraphrasing the text. Students leverage AI for technical tasks and time management yet remain non-reliant and edit AI output to ensure it remains original work.

Abstract

Developing academic writing competence is essential for English education students. This competence is crucial particularly for producing research articles for publication. The introduction section is often perceived as the most challenging part to write. It requires student-writers to establish a research context, engage with previous studies, and clearly state research purposes. In the EFL contexts, these demands are further complicated by some factors as linguistics, rhetorical development, and affective factors. This study examines the challenges encountered by undergraduate English education students in Indonesia when writing research article introductions, focusing on rhetorical organization based on Swales’ (1990) CARS Model. A qualitative research design was employed, involving semi-structured interviews with five seventh-semester students at Universitas Negeri Semarang. The findings reveal varied difficulties across the three rhetorical moves, including limited confidence in establishing research territory, problems synthesizing prior studies and identifying research gaps, and reliance on restricted strategies when presenting research purposes. These findings emphasize the importance of pedagogical support through explicit instruction, scaffolding, and peer feedback to improve students’ academic writing development.

Abstract

This study investigates the genre analysis of descriptive texts written by tenth-grade students at SMA Teuku Umar Semarang. It examines students’ mastery of generic structures and linguistic features, focusing on identification, description, present tense, adjectives, and relational verbs also it strengths and weaknesses. Using a qualitative descriptive design, data were collected from 25 students and analyzed through the genre framework of Tardy and Swales (2021). Findings show that most students applied the generic structures correctly, though the level of descriptive detail varied from minimal to fairly elaborate. Linguistic features were generally appropriate, but limited vocabulary and frequent mechanical errors persisted, reducing accuracy and coherence. The study concludes that while structural mastery has been achieved, linguistic sophistication remains a challenge, highlighting the need for pedagogical strategies that integrate genre-based scaffolding with explicit language development.

Abstract

This paper's primary goal is to investigate perceptions of the implementation of a microteaching course using reflective teaching practice. Microteaching is a course that prepares student-teachers to become professional instructors. Reflective teaching techniques include self-reflection and reflections from teachers and peers, which lead to effective and complete evaluation. This study explores how Indonesian student-teachers perceive the implementation of microteaching and how they discover the reflection in the microteaching course. Using a qualitative approach, semi-structured interviews and focus group discussions were conducted with seven participants to gather in-depth insights into their experiences and perceptions regarding reelection in the microteaching course. The results showed that student-teachers were concerned about preparing before conducting microteaching, including searching for materials to construct a lesson plan, conducting teaching performance and evaluation, and perceiving positive arguments in the reflections given by the teacher and peers. Having strengths and weaknesses from the comments made student-teachers tend to improve their performance in the next practice. The results of this investigation have significant practical relevance for evaluating student-teachers’ teaching performance through reflection practice and for helping future teachers fulfil their requirement to be professional teachers.

Abstract

Vocabulary knowledge plays a fundamental role in second language (L2) proficiency and is strongly linked to students’ academic success in higher education. As blended learning becomes increasingly prevalent in university contexts, there is a growing need for instructional models that promote flexibility, learner engagement, and multimodal input. This study investigates the integration of VARK learning styles—Visual, Aural, Read/Write, and Kinesthetic—within the Enriched Virtual Model (EVM) to support lexical competence among English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners. Adopting a mixed-methods design, the study involved 53 undergraduate students enrolled in a Lexical Studies course. Quantitative data were collected through pre- and post-tests to measure lexical gains, while qualitative insights were obtained from reflective journals and semi-structured interviews. Quantitative data were analyzed using paired-sample t-tests to examine pretest–posttest differences, one-way ANOVA to compare vocabulary gains across VARK learning-style groups, and Cohen’s d to determine effect size. Qualitative data were analyzed thematically following Braun and Clarke’s six-step framework.The findings reveal a statistically significant improvement in students’ lexical mastery, with a large effect size indicating a strong instructional impact. Analysis across VARK categories shows that Visual and Read/Write learners benefited most from the multimodal online materials, although positive progress was observed across all learning-style groups. Qualitative results further indicate that the VARK-informed EVM enhanced learner engagement, autonomy, and motivation by allowing students to interact with vocabulary through varied and flexible modalities. However, challenges related to cognitive workload and limited opportunities for kinesthetic engagement in online environments were also reported. These findings suggest the importance of balancing modality representation when designing blended vocabulary instruction. Overall, this study contributes to multimodal lexical pedagogy and offers practical implications for developing adaptive and learner-centered blended learning models in higher education.

Abstract

Vocabulary mastery plays a crucial role in successful language acquisition, and blended learning approaches have increasingly been adopted to enhance lexical development in higher education. However, existing studies have predominantly focused on general blended learning designs without fully exploring the specific contribution of the Enriched Virtual Model (EVM) in strengthening different dimensions of lexical competence. Moreover, limited research has examined how diverse learning preferences, such as those identified through the VARK framework, influence students’ engagement and vocabulary development within EVM-based instruction. Addressing these gaps, this study investigates the effectiveness of EVM in improving students’ lexical competence and examines how different learning styles contribute to learners’ engagement and vocabulary growth. Employing a mixed-methods design, the research integrates quantitative data from pre- and post-tests with qualitative insights obtained from reflections, observations, and open-ended responses. Participants were undergraduate students enrolled in a Lexical Studies course, who engaged in a combination of multimodal online modules and targeted face-to-face sessions throughout the intervention. Quantitative findings revealed substantial gains across all dimensions of lexical competence—vocabulary breadth, depth, collocational knowledge, and contextual use—with contextual vocabulary demonstrating the highest improvement. Differences were also observed across learning-style groups, with Visual and Read/Write learners showing the greatest lexical gains, while Auditory and Kinesthetic learners benefited most from modality-congruent strategies. Qualitative findings further indicated that EVM supported learner autonomy, enhanced multimodal engagement, and strengthened vocabulary retention through structured online learning and collaborative face-to-face consolidation. Overall, the results demonstrate that EVM provides an effective, flexible, and learner-responsive framework for vocabulary instruction in blended learning environments.

Abstract

This study examines the effectiveness of integrating e-portfolios into a flipped English classroom to enhance English for Specific Purposes (ESP) speaking performance and speaking self-efficacy among nursing students. Grounded in ESP pedagogy, communicative language teaching, and self-efficacy theory, the study addresses the persistent gap between students’ linguistic knowledge and their ability to perform professional oral communication in healthcare contexts. A quasi-experimental one-group pre-test-post-test design was implemented with 40 second-year nursing students at a private health sciences college in Central Java. The instructional intervention combined pre-class input, in-class communicative practice, and iterative speaking development through e-portfolio-based recording, feedback, and reflection over one academic semester. Speaking performance was assessed through task-based ESP speaking tests, while self-efficacy was measured using a Likert-scale questionnaire. The findings revealed statistically significant improvements in both speaking performance and speaking self-efficacy, with large effect sizes indicating substantial educational impact. The results suggest that integrating e-portfolios within a flipped classroom expands opportunities for structured practice, fosters reflective learning, and strengthens learners’ confidence, thereby supporting both linguistic and psychological dimensions of professional communication. The study underscores the pedagogical value of technology-supported, contextually grounded speaking instruction in health sciences education and recommends the combined use of flipped learning and e-portfolio-based formative assessment to promote sustainable ESP speaking development.
