Abstract

The ability to present academic work in English is a critical yet underdeveloped competency among English Education (EED) students in Indonesian higher education. This quasi-experimental study investigated the effect of a Speaking for Academic Purposes (SAP) learning model on EED students' English proposal seminar presentation ability at Muhammadiyah University of Palopo. A non-equivalent control group design was employed, involving 60 sixth-semester students divided into an experimental group (n = 30) that received SAP model instruction over six sessions, and a control group (n = 30) that received conventional speaking instruction. Both groups completed pre-tests and post-tests assessed using an analytical speaking rubric covering five dimensions: content, language accuracy, fluency, discourse organization, and delivery. Data were analyzed using an independent-samples t-test to compare post-test means between groups, and a paired-samples t-test to measure within-group gains. Results showed that the experimental group achieved a significantly higher post-test mean (M = 82.8, SD = 7.2) compared to the control group (M = 67.4, SD = 9.1), with a statistically significant between-group difference (t(58) = 7.34, p < .001, d = 1.89). Within the experimental group, all five rubric dimensions showed significant improvement, with the largest gains in Discourse Organization (+47.8%) and Fluency (+45.0%). These findings provide empirical evidence that the SAP model, integrating genre-based instruction, structured rehearsal, peer feedback, and reflective practice, is significantly more effective than conventional instruction in improving students' academic speaking performance. Implications for English Education curriculum design and pedagogical practice are discussed.

Abstract

This study addresses ongoing challenges related to intolerance and social cohesion by examining the implementation of Peace Education within the context of Religious Moderation Villages. This study aims to (1) analyse and formulate strategies to integrate relevant and applicable peace education values in the socio-cultural context of moderate villages; and (2) detect and map the role and effectiveness of the social ecosystem in supporting the values of peace education in the daily lives of the community in a sustainable manner. Using a qualitative approach with a case study design, this study involved 150 FGD participants, with 15 key informants interviewed, consisting of religious leaders, youth, women, teachers, KUA (Religious Affairs Office) instructors, police officers, members of parliament, and village officials. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, Focus Group Discussions, and participant observation, then analysed narratively with triangulation of sources and methods. The findings suggest four strategies to accelerate the transformation of Religious Moderation Villages through Peace Education: (1) strengthening individual peace awareness; (2) strengthening family and community-based moderation values; (3) institutionalising religious and cultural values through inclusive education and village governance; and (4) strengthening cross-actor collaboration (religious leaders, cultural leaders, youth, women's groups, village government, and security/social institutional actors). These four strategies work through layered integration across formal, non-formal, and informal learning spaces and across ecosystem levels (individual, family, community, and institution), so that peaceful values become habitual and institutionally supported. Digitalisation, particularly youth engagement through tolerance narratives on social media, serves as a reinforcing mechanism that expands the reach of peace messages and strengthens cross-group interactions beyond face-to-face meetings. These findings produce a data-driven transformation map for scalable community-based peacebuilding. Peace Education serves as an effective approach in strengthening a culture of tolerance at the community level, although this research is still limited to local contexts and requires quantitative testing for broader validation.

Abstract

The Cooperative Integrated Reading and Composition (CIRC) method is a cooperative learning method used to develop language skills such as reading and writing in the classroom at the high school level. This study used a Quasi-experimental design because it aims to investigate whether the teaching technique has a significant impact on students' reading comprehension. In this study, eleventh grade students of SMA 6 Palopo in the academic year 2023/2024 were selected as the object of research. Students in the experimental group after the treatment were in the good and quite good classification, while the control group was in the quite bad classification. The mean scores of the experimental group and control group in the pre-test and post-test were 74.11 and 64.11, respectively, with standard deviations of 16.885 and 13.833. After treatment with the CIRC method, the mean scores of students in both groups were higher than those in the non-CIRC treatment group. The results showed that the treatment in the control group and the experimental group showed significant improvement in students' reading comprehension achievement. In conclusion, the application of Cooperative Integrative Reading Composition has shown promising results in improving students' English learning, especially in reading narrative texts.

Abstract

The main problem in this study is the low proficiency in the dollyo chagi kick among Taekwondo athletes in Luwu Regency, as indicated by suboptimal kick power, speed, and endurance. The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of interval training on improving the dollyo chagi kick proficiency of Taekwondo athletes in Luwu Regency. The method used was a quantitative approach with a one-group pretest-posttest experimental design. The sample consisted of 15 athletes aged 13–17 years, selected using purposive sampling. The research instrument was a 30-second dollyo chagi kick test to measure kick speed and power. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and a paired-sample t-test with the aid of SPSS version 27. The results showed an increase in the mean score from 29.80 at the pretest to 34.87 at the posttest, with a difference of 5.07 points. The results of the paired-sample t-test showed that the calculated t-value of 16.874 was greater than the critical t-value of 2.145, with a significance level of 0.001 (< 0.05), Thus, interval training has been shown to have a significant effect. The conclusion of this study is that interval training is effective in improving the power and speed of the dollyo chagi kick in Taekwondo athletes. Therefore, this method is recommended for integration into routine training programs to support the continuous improvement of athletes’ performance.
