Abstract

This study aims to improve the English vocabulary mastery of seventh-grade students at SMPK Sang Timur Malang through the implementation of the Think-Pair-Share (TPS) and Picture Word Inductive Model (PWIM) teaching methods. The research was conducted as a classroom action research (CAR) carried out in one cycle consisting of four meetings. Each stage of  the  research included planning, action, observation, and  reflection. Data were collected through observations, tests, reflective journals, questionnaires, and interviews. The findings showed  that  the  combination of  TPS  and  PWIM  effectively improved students’ vocabulary mastery. This was evident from the improvement in test scores, improved student engagement during the learning process, and positive responses toward the methods used. Therefore, this teaching strategy proves to be effective and applicable for supporting vocabulary learning in junior high school English classes.

Abstract

KB-RA Tazkiyah Therapy provides opportunities for children with special needs such as the blind, deaf, ADHD or ABK to get equal opportunities in the learning process. Taking into account the needs of children and the condition of the school as well as the facilities needed for normal students and those with special needs, as well as age differences, the service teaches Project based Learning (PjBL) for all students, both normal and those with special needs. This community service activity takes the form of fun cooking, namely decorating cupcakes for Tazkiyah KB-RA Therapy students. The application of this training is to increase feelings of empathy, cooperation among students who have different ages, the conditions of normal students and students with special needs who are in the same class as other students. The method applied in this activity is the training of decorating cupcakes. Some of the benefits that can be obtained from KB-RA and TAZKIYAH THERAPY through community service activities are: (1) Gaining creative knowledge and skills in decorating cup cakes (fun cooking) (2) Gaining knowledge in applying Project based Learning (PjBL).

Abstract

Collaborative writing is widely recognized for its benefits in enhancing linguistic competence, critical thinking, and social interaction in EFL contexts. Despite numerous studies highlighting these advantages, a gap remains in how collaborative writing competence can be systematically assessed and practically applied in classroom settings. This study aims to empirically validate a Collaborative Writing Competence Framework (CWCF) comprising five key dimensions: communication, coordination, creativity, responsibility, and reflection. A quantitative research design involved 103 Indonesian undergraduate EFL students enrolled in an Essay Writing course. Data were collected using a Likert-scale questionnaire and analyzed through Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA). The model demonstrated a good fit (χ² = 86.528, df = 81, p = .317; CMIN/DF = 1.068; RMSEA = 0.026; CFI = 0.992), with acceptable reliability (Cronbach’s α = 0.719–0.807) and convergent validity (AVE = 0.501–0.673). Creativity emerged as the most influential factor in collaborative writing competence. The validated CWCF offers actionable insights for EFL instruction: structured peer discussions, guided brainstorming, and task delegation can enhance collaboration, while integrating self- and peer-assessment fosters responsibility and reflection. Digital platforms such as Google Docs may also support real-time coordination and feedback. The CWCF thus serves as both an assessment instrument and pedagogical tool, paving the way for more effective collaborative writing practices in EFL classrooms.

Abstract

Exploring academic writing readiness is fundamental for EFL learners, underscoring the importance of refined measurement methods in global research. This study aims to assess the academic writing readiness of EFL learners and highlight the progress in the specifically designed measurement instrument. The study employed Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) on 107 undergraduates in English studies to validate an academic instrument. Participants were selected for diverse experiences and underwent the survey in their usual classroom. CFA assessed factorial, convergent, and discriminant validity. Cronbach's alpha measured consistency, and data was analyzed using AMOS software. Adjustments were made when model discrepancies arose. The findings indicate that (1) the English Academic Writing Readiness scale dimensions encompass vocabulary, grammar, structure, formatting, and time management. (2) The structural equation model highlights five dimensions with respective factor loadings between 0.50 and 0.89. (3) The theoretical model aligns with observed data, supported by RMSEA, AGFI, TLI, and CFI. (4) The instrument reliably assesses five English Academic Writing Readiness dimensions. The findings imply refined pedagogical strategies for English academic writing instruction

Abstract

Teaching English to young learners requires creativity and engaging methods. Storytelling offers an alternative approach suitable for young students. This study aims to explore the English abilities of young learners through the use of storytelling. Data were collected through observations and interviews. Observations were conducted to examine students' activity in using English in the classroom, while interviews were carried out to strengthen the observational data. The participants were 26 students, with 10 selected for interviews to further validate their perceptions of storytelling activities. The findings indicate that storytelling has a positive influence on students' English abilities, particularly in speaking (including pronunciation and vocabulary). Interviews revealed that students found storytelling enjoyable, motivating, and helpful in learning English. These findings suggest that storytelling can serve as an effective alternative method for teaching English to young learners.
