Abstract

While online gamification in education settings has spread worldwide in this digital era, its application gets confronted with massive opposition, especially in rural contexts. Several technologically inaccessible schools may find it unfavourable to apply such a model in learning. This study looks at redefining a simple application of particular Pictionary games to boost students’ English vocabulary learning in a predominantly rural, private school setting. It aims at improving students’ vocabulary mastery through the plain-sailing Pictionary game technique and re-establishing the teacher’s best practices to apply. Two-cycle classroom action research was applied by collecting data through observation, questionnaires, interviews, and tests. The qualitative data analysis shows better-changing activities, attitudes, perceptions, and learning experiences leading to the positive outcomes of the game application. Quantitative data on students’ vocabulary tests in two-prioritized skills (reading and listening) also show a remarkable improvement from cycle one to cycle two, with the class percentage passing the success criterion for reading and listening vocabulary mastery being 83.33% and 75%, respectively. In addition, the teacher’s reflection on each cycle shapes profound insights into several contextual best practices: goal-oriented teaching, progressiveness, shift gears, differentiated learning, pace and variety, and encouragement.

Abstract

This case study aims to identify the types and causes of errors often made by students in writing descriptive texts and to provide solutions to reduce errors in writing. This study employs the five stages of error analysis proposed by Ellis and Barkhuzein. Data were collected through observation, written tests, and interviews and were analyzed using qualitative and quantitative approaches. The corpus under inquiry consisted of 50 students’ descriptive writing texts from two classes. The most identified error was the linguistic errors in writing related to second language usage errors. A lack of vocabulary mastery and L1 interference generally cause errors in writing made by students. After the error evaluation stage, the authors recommend the implementation of Continuous Writing Activities and Process Writing Strategies to help students improve their ability to write in English and reduce the errors they make.

Abstract

The study aims to identify the names of colours in the Sikka Language, analyze the connotations associated with these colours, and investigate their functions within the Sikka community. Using a descriptive qualitative method, data were collected through observation, interviews, and data elicitation with native speakers from Wolomotong Village. Data analysis employed the Natural Semantic Metalanguage (NSM) theory to uncover the semantic and cultural meanings of colour terms. The findings reveal that the Sikka Language categorizes colours into three groups: basic colours, such as red (merak), white (bura), and black (mitan); derived colours, such as yellow (heret), green (daan), blue (daan wair) and brown(meran); and modern or borrowed colours, such as purple (langor), orange (heret duan), and pink (meran nurak). Colours in the Sikka Language carry profound connotative meanings tied to cultural and social contexts, including symbolic associations with beauty, courage, purity, and prosperity. Additionally, colours serve vital functions as markers of social identity, integral components of traditional rituals, and mediums for conveying cultural values. This study contributes to the field of semantics by offering insights into the interplay between language, culture, and cognition. Furthermore, it supports the preservation and promotion of local languages and cultural heritage.
