Abstract

This study employs a quantitative method with a pre-experimental design, specifically the one-group pre-test and post-test. The sample of the study consists of IX.1 class students at SMP Muhammadiyah Tilango, selected due to their low vocabulary skills based on interviews with teachers and researchers. The research aims to analyze the effect of problem-based learning on improving students' vocabulary in narrative texts. Data were collected through vocabulary tests administered before and after the intervention. In addition, observations were conducted from the first to the fourth meeting to assess the effectiveness of the method. The results show a significant improvement in the vocabulary skills of the experimental class compared to the control class, which did not receive any treatment. Data analysis using the t-test reveals that the calculated t-value of 4.108 is greater than the t-table value of 2.119, leading to the acceptance of the alternative hypothesis (Ha) and the rejection of the null hypothesis (Ho). Thus, it can be concluded that problem-based learning effectively improves students' vocabulary skills. This study implies that the problem-based learning method can be implemented as an effective approach to enhance vocabulary learning in secondary schools.

Abstract

This research aims to investigate the effectiveness of using the Riddles Technique in enhancing the English vocabulary of seventh-grade students at SMP Negeri 15 Kota Gorontalo. The study focuses on determining whether this technique can significantly improve students’ vocabulary mastery. The research was conducted using a pre-experimental method with a one-group pre-test and post-test design. The population of this research consisted of all seventh-grade students, and the sample was class VII-1, comprising 20 students selected through purposive sampling. In the implementation phase, students were engaged in various vocabulary-based riddles during English lessons. These riddles were designed to stimulate students’ interest, challenge their thinking, and enhance their word retention. The pre-test was administered to assess the students’ initial vocabulary level, followed by a series of learning sessions using the Riddles Technique, and concluded with a post-test. The results indicated a significant improvement in students’ vocabulary scores. The mean score increased from 43 in the pre-test to 71 in the post-test. Furthermore, statistical analysis revealed that the significance value was 0.000, which is less than the standard alpha level of 0.05. This confirms that the alternative hypothesis (H₁) is accepted, indicating a significant effect of the Riddles Technique on vocabulary enhancement. In conclusion, the Riddles Technique proves to be an effective and engaging method for improving students’ English vocabulary. It is recommended for English language teachers as an innovative strategy to increase students’ participation and vocabulary acquisition.

Abstract

This study investigates EFL students’ perceptions of the repeated reading strategy as a method for enhancing reading fluency. Conducted within the English Language Education Study Program at Universitas Negeri Gorontalo during the 2024/2025 academic year, this research adopts a descriptive quantitative approach. A total of 60 first-year students participated in the study through an online Likert-scale questionnaire comprising 30 items categorized into knowledge, perception (absorption, understanding, evaluation), and fluency (accuracy, speed, prosody) indicators. The findings reveal that students exhibit a predominantly positive to very positive perception of the repeated reading strategy. The highest mean scores were observed in prosody (86.33), followed by understanding (82.00), evaluation (82.34), and reading speed (81.89). Although accuracy scored slightly lower (74.44), it still fell within the positive range. These results affirm that students not only understand the purpose and benefits of repeated reading but also experience improvements in expression, comprehension, and confidence when reading aloud. This study supports the integration of repeated reading as an effective and well-perceived pedagogical tool in EFL contexts. It further emphasizes the need to consider students’ perceptions as an essential component in evaluating instructional strategies for reading fluency development.

Abstract

This study examines English Guru Penggerak teachers' perceptions of Deep Learning through the Mindful, Meaningful, and Joyful (MMJ) framework in junior high school English classrooms in North Gorontalo Regency. In this study, Deep Learning refers to a pedagogical policy within the Indonesian education system rather than artificial intelligence or machine learning. The study addresses two research questions: how teachers perceive Deep Learning through the MMJ principles and how they describe their readiness to implement them. A descriptive qualitative design was employed involving eight English Guru Penggerak teachers. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and supported by document analysis of teaching modules, worksheets, and assessment instruments. The data were analyzed using thematic analysis, including coding, cross-participant comparison, and document triangulation. The findings indicate that teachers generally perceived MMJ positively and considered it relevant to English language learning. They associated the framework with a safer classroom climate, greater student participation, stronger motivation, and more meaningful learning experiences. However, teachers demonstrated varying levels of conceptual understanding, with some still developing their understanding of MMJ while others articulated its principles more comprehensively. Teachers also showed uneven readiness to implement the framework. Pedagogical readiness was reflected in contextual learning tasks, reflective practices, and interactive classroom activities, whereas assessment readiness remained the weakest dimension. In addition, leadership support, professional learning communities, academic supervision, infrastructure, workload, and time allocation influenced implementation. The study concludes that MMJ implementation remains vulnerable to “joyful but shallow” enactment when enjoyable learning activities are not supported by purposeful awareness, meaningful learning, reflection, feedback, and evidence of student learning progress.

Abstract

Bahasa daerah merupakan salah satu warisan budaya yang berperan penting dalam menjaga identitas, kearifan lokal, dan keberagaman budaya bangsa. Namun, penggunaan bahasa daerah di kalangan generasi muda terus mengalami penurunan akibat pengaruh globalisasi, dominasi bahasa Indonesia dan bahasa asing, serta minimnya implementasi pembelajaran bahasa daerah di sekolah dasar. Kondisi tersebut mendorong dilaksanakannya kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat yang bertujuan meningkatkan kompetensi guru sekolah dasar dalam mengintegrasikan bahasa daerah ke dalam proses pembelajaran melalui pendekatan berbasis kearifan lokal dan pendidikan multibahasa. Metode yang digunakan meliputi pelatihan, pendampingan, praktik penyusunan perangkat pembelajaran, dan evaluasi melalui observasi serta penilaian hasil kerja peserta. Hasil kegiatan menunjukkan bahwa pelatihan dan pendampingan mampu meningkatkan pemahaman, keterampilan, dan sikap positif guru dalam mengembangkan pembelajaran bahasa daerah yang kontekstual dan inovatif. Guru juga mampu menyusun media dan perangkat pembelajaran yang memanfaatkan budaya lokal sebagai sumber belajar. Kegiatan ini memberikan kontribusi dalam memperkuat kapasitas guru sekaligus mendukung upaya pemertahanan bahasa daerah melalui pendidikan dasar secara berkelanjutan sehingga pelestarian bahasa daerah dapat diwujudkan sejak usia dini.

Abstract

Background: Translation Studies has expanded internationally through bibliometric, computational, and interdisciplinary developments, yet the publication trajectory of Translation Studies in Indonesia has not been mapped systematically. A bibliometric overview is therefore needed to identify the field’s thematic concentration, collaboration patterns, and publication visibility. Methodology: This study employed a bibliometric design using records retrieved from Scopus and selected Indonesian peer-reviewed journals published between 2014 and 2025. After eligibility filtering, 137 Indonesia-focused records and 7,113 international reference records were analyzed using Biblioshiny. Findings: Indonesian Translation Studies was dominated by humanistic, pedagogical, and culturally oriented themes, whereas corpus-based, computational, and machine-translation topics appeared less frequently. In contextual comparison with the international reference set, the Indonesian corpus showed slower thematic diversification and lower visibility of technology-oriented translation research. Conclusion: These findings indicate that Indonesian Translation Studies is growing, but its publication profile remains more concentrated in humanistic and pedagogical domains than in technology-oriented and corpus-based areas. This pattern matters because it influences how the field may engage with emerging methods, international collaboration, and wider scholarly visibility in contemporary Translation Studies. Originality: This study provides a bibliometric mapping of Indonesian Translation Studies based on peer-reviewed publication records and situates the national corpus in contextual comparison with an international reference set.
