Abstract

Online assessments present several challenges for teachers, particularly in EFL (English as a Foreign Language) contexts. These difficulties fall into four categories: contextual, psychological, pedagogical, and technical. This study aims to explain teachers’ and students’ voices on implementing online assessment of English competence and its washback. It employed a qualitative method and a narrative inquiry research design. Data collection techniques used semi-structured interviews and open-ended questions. Thematic analysis was used as a data analysis technique. The participants were two English teachers and five students of an Islamic secondary school in Semarang city. The results show that the biggest challenge when conducting online English assessment reflects a range of technological, emotional, and instructional challenges, namely poor internet connection, device sharing or lack of equipment, speaking anxiety, unclear instructions, difficulty with listening tests, time pressure, lack of feedback, and technical platform confusion.

Abstract

Merajalelanya pembangunan di negara Indonesia kerap menjadi poin penting bagi suatu negara. Hal ini berpengaruh pada keberjalanan stabilitas nasional. Dalam mendukung pembangunan tersebut dibutuhkan peran pemerintahan desa sebagai satuan politik terkecil. Pengoptimalan pembangunan di desa dapat didukung dengan mendirikan BUMDes. Kenyataannya tidak semua desa mampu memaksimalkan BUMDes tersebut. Pengakuan dari beberapa pihak, BUMDes Pertades di Desa Kedungbanteng belum bisa menghasilkan keuntungan untuk desa karena biaya operasional yang tinggi dan sebagian besar masyarakat desa belum mengetahui urgensitas adanya Pertades. Kondisi yang sangat memprihatinkan ini tidak segera mendapatkan solusi yang efektif sejak dua tahun yang lalu. Dengan mengamati situasi tersebut, Bachtiar Rifqi Maulana, seorang mahasiswa dari KKN Tim II UNDIP, menginisiasi program kerja yang bertujuan meningkatkan kinerja BUMDes Pertades. Program ini disusun berdasarkan latar belakang keilmuannya di bidang matematika. Program kerja yang diinisiasikan adalah pembuatan pembukuan Bumdes Pertades untuk meningkatkan tertib administrasi dan meningkatkan kinerja Bumdes Pertades. Metode yang digunakan adalah pendekatan kualitatif dan kuantitatif. Kualitatif menilai bagaimana skema kerja dari BUMDes Pertades selama ini, sementara kuantitatif untuk mengetahui seberapa banyak data yang bisa didapatkan dari kendala BUMDes Pertades. Dari hasil pendekatan tersebut harus dilakukan monev untuk memastikan keberhasilan terhadap tujuan dan sasaran program kerja tersebut. Kebermanfaatan dari Pertades ini dapat meningkatkan pembangunan desa dalam bidang ekonomi. Oleh karena itu, program kerja ini harus dilaksanakan untuk mengoptimalkan pengelolaan perekonomian di Desa Kedungbanteng sehingga bisa mewujudkan desa yang unggul dalam setiap perubahan.

Abstract

This study explores the intriguing connections between anthroponymy and chess, revealing how the names of chess openings offer captivating insights into the game’s history and culture. Drawing inspiration from the popularity of chess streamers on YouTube, the research adopts a qualitative content analysis approach to examine the linguistic and cultural origins of commonly used chess openings. Data are sourced from James Eade’s “Chess Openings for Dummies” (2021). The findings showcase that numerous opening names are rooted in geography, such as the “Sicilian Defense” and “French Defense”, while others are named after notable individuals, such as the “Philidor Defense” and “Evans Gambit”. In addition, some openings commemorate famous games or events, like the “Muzio Gambit” and “Englund Gambit”. This pioneering study enriches the fields of chess and language studies, as well as education and anthroponymy, by providing a fresh perspective on the evolution of chess and its linguistic connections. Future research avenues may explore additional openings and further investigate the cultural, regional, and historical influences behind the nomenclature of chess openings. Furthermore, this research suggests the integration of anthroponymy and chess into interdisciplinary education, fostering a deeper understanding of geography, history, English, and cultural references through the study of chess openings

Abstract

This study aims firstly to explain the use of multimodal digital literacy to boost students’ reading comprehension of recount text. Secondly, to describe students’ engagement in joining this learning model. It employed a qualitative method. Classroom action research with two cycles was used as the research design. Each cycle consisted of planning, acting, observing, and evaluating. The participants were thirty-ninth graders at the Islamic secondary school in Semarang Regency in the academic year 2024-2025. The pre-test, posttests, and observation guidelines were provided as data collection techniques. The results show that incorporating a genre-based approach and multimodal digital literacy can enhance students’ reading comprehension of recount text. Based on students’ achievement in the pretest, they reached 69, in post-test cycle 1, they achieved 75, and in post-test cycle 2, they obtained 84. Because students were intrigued by multimodal digital literacy, they were also delighted in putting this learning approach into practice. Their grasp of reading comprehension of recall texts was enhanced by the teacher. Together with their peers and the teacher, they studied the course materials. It can be concluded, this learning paradigm improves group work and interpersonal skills, raises learning motivation, and promotes active learners' involvement.Keywords: digital literacy, multimodal; reading comprehension; recount text; revolutionizing.
