Abstract

In the process of learning English, there are many techniques and media that can be used. The methods and media in learning are made in a variety of ways so that learning English is not monotonous, and student motivation in learning English can be increased. In this study, the researcher discussed about the effectiveness of the whispering game in EFL learners. In the learning process of English, the 'Whispering Game' can increase student motivation, make the learning process more attractive to students so that it can improve the ability of students to learn English exactly. In conclusion, the researcher will apply the steps, advantages and disadvantages of this game.

Abstract

Purpose of the study: This study evaluates the Junior High School Teacher Quality Improvement Training Program organized by the Gayo Lues Department of Education using Stufflebeam’s CIPP (Context, Input, Process, Product) evaluation model to assess its relevance, implementation quality, and measurable outcomes. Methodology: Employing a qualitative evaluative design, the research involved teachers, principals, facilitators, and program organizers as key informants. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, direct observation, and documentation, and analyzed descriptively to capture the program’s effectiveness across the four CIPP dimensions. Main Findings: The findings show that the program is highly relevant to teachers’ professional development needs, particularly in strengthening pedagogical and classroom management skills. Although the program benefited from competent facilitators, input evaluation revealed shortcomings in learning facilities and teaching media. The process evaluation indicated that training sessions were generally well-implemented, yet participant engagement and reflective practice require improvement. The product evaluation demonstrated meaningful gains in teachers’ pedagogical competence; however, the transfer of training into classroom practice remained partial due to limited follow-up support. Novelty/Originality of this study: The novelty of this study lies in its comprehensive application of the CIPP model to a rural district training program, offering a nuanced diagnostic framework that links systemic constraints with individual teacher outcomes an approach seldom used in remote Indonesian contexts. The results highlight the need for active learning strategies, improved infrastructure, and structured post-training mentoring to sustain instructional improvements and ensure continuous professional growth among junior high school teachers.

Abstract

This qualitative case study addresses the understudied interplay between students' diverse VARK learning styles (Visual, Auditory, Read/Write, Kinesthetic) and their engagement with an integrated AI-powered speaking platform, Practica AI, within the Indonesian socio-cultural context. The research was driven by the practical observation of varied learning outcomes among students using the same AI tool, suggesting a critical mediating role of individual learning styles. Conducted over three months at SMA Sukma Bangsa Lhokseumawe, the study employed a descriptive case study design with six purposefully selected 10th-grade participants representing a spectrum of VARK profiles. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, non-participant observations, participant reflective journals, and document analysis (VARK questionnaires, app logs). Thematic analysis revealed three primary findings. First, learning styles functioned not as static labels but as dynamic strategic identities; students consciously curated personalized learning pathways by selectively navigating and combining Practica AI's multimodal features. Second, the study conceptualizes a critical "affordance-accessibility gap," where the effectiveness of a technological feature is contingent upon its alignment with the user's cognitive style, rendering the same feature a strength for one learner and a point of friction for another. Third, the research documents the significant cultural practice of "socializing the interface," where students collectively transformed the individualistic AI tool into a collaborative learning experience through peer comparison and shared scenario analysis, aligning with the local gotong royong (mutual assistance) ethos. Crucially, the study elucidates how these style-mediated experiences indirectly contribute to speaking skill improvement by fostering metacognitive awareness, reducing anxiety, and enabling targeted micro-skill practice. The study concludes that the efficacy of AI in language learning is co-constructed through the negotiation of intrinsic cognitive preferences, technological design, and the socio-cultural learning context. It underscores the urgent need for pedagogical strategies that foster metacognitive awareness and for instructional designs that are not only multimodal but also culturally responsive.
