English language proficiency is an essential skill in security services, particularly for security personnel (satpam) who frequently interact with foreign guests. This article describes an English training program for security supervisors as an empowerment strategy to enhance the quality of communication and security services. The training was conducted in the form of an interactive workshop using a Training for Trainers (ToT) approach, where security supervisors were trained to become effective tutors for the personnel under their supervision. The training materials covered basic communication in security contexts, English teaching techniques, and teaching practice through simulations and role-plays. Evaluation was carried out using pre-tests and post-tests to measure participants’ improvement in English proficiency and pedagogical skills. The results showed an increase in post-training scores in both communication and teaching abilities. This program is expected to generate a sustainable multiplier effect through internal training conducted by the security supervisors, thereby contributing to the overall improvement of professionalism and the quality of security services.

This research investigates the distribution and challenges of proform use among English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners at Tadulako University, focusing on proform verb phrases (ProVP) and proform prepositional phrases (ProPP). Using a quantitative descriptive approach, data was gathered through tests and questionnaires from samples of 36 fifth-semester students. The analysis reveals that verb phrase proforms, especially those involving tense and aspect, are more challenging for EFL students compared to prepositional phrase proforms. Four factors influencing proform use were identified: first language interference, limited practice in real life, lack of motivation, and ineffective teaching methods. These findings highlight the need for enhanced syntactic training in EFL instruction to improve students’ understanding and application of proforms, supporting more effective sentence construction and overall linguistic competence.

This study aims to identify specific problems and provide insight into learners' difficulties in the inflectional markings learning and academic writing. The method of this research is Dulay’s Linguistics Category Taxonomy. The result of classification was calculated by the frequency of each error category: plural marks 13, present verb for third person singular 11, past verb 3, possessive noun 2, and past participle 1. Plural marks dominate the error of using the inflectional markings. The comparison and progressive marks are not found errors in EFL Students’ Academic Writing.

This study analyzed the use of derivational suffixes that transform root nouns into adjectives in the writing of EFL students at Tadulako University. This study aims to identify the types of adjectival suffixes that are difficult to use and the common errors students make. Using quantitative descriptive method, data were collected from the students' writings and analyzed morphologically. The results show that suffixes such as -ful, -ous, -ly, -al, -ic, -able, -less, and -ive are frequently used. However, many errors were found, especially in choosing the wrong suffixes and in spelling. These findings highlight the need for more explicit instruction in morphological rules to help the students form words more accurately.

English literacy serves as an essential foundation in preparing the younger generation to face the challenges of global communication, yet the reality in the field reveals that many elementary school students in Indonesia have yet to develop these foundational skills adequately. Fifth-grade students at SDN Bulubonggu, Pasangkayu Regency, faced significant limitations in basic English reading and writing due to the lack of innovative teaching methods and limited instructional media. As a solution, the English Literacy Program was implemented as a community service activity designed to introduce foundational English literacy skills to students while providing an alternative pedagogical model for teachers. The activity was conducted in a one-day session using an integrated literacy approach that combined interactive visual media and educational games. The results demonstrated significant improvement in basic vocabulary comprehension, reading simple words and sentences, and writing letters and words in English, while also enhancing student enthusiasm and broadening teachers' pedagogical repertoire.

This study examined the correlation between reading frequency and reading comprehension, particularly at the literal level, among eighth-grade students at SMP Labschool UNTAD Palu, as regular reading practice can strengthen word recognition, vocabulary, and the ability to grasp explicit information in texts. This study was conducted in the even semester of the 2024/2025 academic year using a Pearson Product-Moment correlation design. A total of 36 students were selected through stratified random sampling. Data were collected using a reading frequency questionnaire and a reading comprehension test of 15 multiple-choice items based on descriptive texts from the Eighth-Grade syllabus. Instrument validity was tested using Pearson’s r, and reliability was analysed using Cronbach’s Alpha. All questionnaire items were declared valid, and the reliability analysis produced a Cronbach’s Alpha value of 0.743, indicating high internal consistency. There was a significant, moderate positive correlation between reading frequency and literal reading comprehension (r = 0.427; p = 0.009 (p < 0.05), indicating that increased reading frequency is associated with increased literal comprehension. The results of this study indicate that high reading frequency positively contributes to students' ability to identify explicit information in reading texts. This research strengthens the literature on basic literacy and can be a reference in developing a literacy-based curriculum at the junior high school level.

This study examines the impact of the Spotify music platform on improving the English pronunciation of eighth-grade students at MTs Muhammadiyah Al-Haq Palu, with a specific focus on the articulation of liquid consonants (/l/ and /r/), which commonly present difficulties for Indonesian learners of English. A quantitative pre-experimental design, utilising a one-group pre-test and post-test model, was employed with a sample of 28 students. Pronunciation tests were administered before and after the treatment to evaluate progress. The results revealed a significant improvement, as indicated by the increase in the mean score from 9.36 to 15.25, supported by a t-value of 27.36, which exceeds the t-table value of 2.052. These findings demonstrate that English songs on Spotify offer repetitive and authentic listening input, which strengthens articulation accuracy. The novelty of this study lies in analysing differential improvement between /l/ and /r/ sounds through a Spotify-based intervention. The implication suggests that digital music platforms can be used as effective supplementary tools in pronunciation teaching.
