Abstract

Lack of students enrolling in diploma programs compared to what occurred Germany is a sign that Indonesian high school graduates are discouraged from enrolling in the program. Previous studies have mostly focused on the perception and expectation toward vocational high school, leaving motivation and satisfaction under-researched. This study aims to look at the motivation of students enrolling at the two-year diploma and how satisfied they are with the program. Factors contributing to their satisfaction would be presented accordingly. The study used a qualitative research approach with a case study design by examining current students at AKN Aceh Barat. A focus group discussion coupled with interview were employed to obtain the data and a total of 23 first year diploma students participated in the study. The study found that students were encouraged to enroll for the diploma program due to practical skill benefit, short durational advantage, and financial constraints of their families. They valued practical skills over theoretical knowledge and a short time of study over four years in college. The financial constraint also implies that most students enrolled in the program originate from financially unfortunate families. Most students have been satisfied with the program indicating that their initial motivation has been fulfilled. Factors contributing to their satisfaction include practical skills, theoretical knowledge, laboratory facilities, building infrastructure, and the number of students. They have been satisfied with the balance between practical skills and theoretical balance offered by the program yet felt the need for improvement in the other areas.

Abstract One of the skills vocational education students must master in English courses is understanding the language of instruction or procedures in English. A total of 24 vocational education students at the Politeknik Negeri Lhokseumawe participated in filling out the questionnaires distributed online. Data were collected using the convenience sampling technique for two weeks from the date of August 26, 2020 until September 9, 2020. The data were analyzed qualitatively using the Miles and Huberman model. Data analysis consists of four stages, extensive coding, pattern coding, distilling and making propositions. The results showed that the majority of vocational education students at PNL were visual learners. The inclusion of pictures in the English instruction material is very helpful in understanding the text of the instructions given. Students prefer English instruction materials that are equipped with pictures rather than just pictures or just text. Students also use google translate to understand unfamiliar words to understand English instruction texts.

Abstract

Systemic functional linguistic (SFL) is a language theory that emphasize social function of a language in realizing meaning. Traditional ways of translating Indonesian text has relied heavily on generative grammar or grammar translation method. Using this method, the grammatical function of an utterance may be well preserved yet at the stake of meaning shift. Register (field, mode and tenor) is an important feature in SFL that may help translators preserving ideational meaning and tenor from the source language to target language. English sentences on specific scenarios are translated into Indonesian and vice versa using grammar translation method and systemic functional linguistic. The results are compared to observe translation shift, ideational, interpersonal and textual meaning. The findings showed that grammar translation method fail to transfer the ideational meaning into Indonesian despite preserving experiential features are intact. This does not happen in systemic functional linguistic approach since the approach requires preserving the functional meaning of a sentence instead of the grammar. The grammar categories may change using SFL but the functional meaning is well preserved. Emphasizing functional meaning instead of grammatical function enable translators to deliver equal meaning in Indonesian. While tenor is not a problem in the translation of Indonesian to English, translators need to carefully consider field, mode and tenor when translation texts from English to Indonesian.

Abstract

This study examines community perceptions and levels of interest in the establishment of a state polytechnic in the West-South Aceh region, particularly following the collaborative initiative of D4 programs by Akademi Komunitas Negeri Aceh Barat (AKN Aceh Barat) and Politeknik Negeri Lhokseumawe (PNL). Using a quantitative cross-sectional design, data were collected through an online survey completed by 242 respondents. Descriptive statistics, t-tests, and one-way ANOVA were applied to assess perceptions across three key indicators: the urgency of establishing a polytechnic, personal interest in attending, and family interest in polytechnic education. Results indicate overwhelming support across demographic groups, with over 93% consider the establishment urgent, and more than 84% expressed personal or familial interest. Although men showed significantly higher personal interest than women, no significant differences were observed by region or education level. Community preferences for mining, maritime, and informatics programs demonstrate a clear connection to the region’s workforce demands and industrial profile. These findings provide strong empirical support for upgrading AKN Aceh Barat into a state polytechnic, addressing both educational and regional workforce development needs.

Abstract

English has become a significant medium of communication in Indonesian pesantren, yet limited research has examined how students in this setting produce spoken English. Previous studies have largely focused on curriculum, teacher identity, and learner motivation, while little attention has been given to the morphosyntactic and lexical features of pesantren students’ actual speech. This study addresses the gap by analyzing the spoken English of 19 students (10 male, 9 female) from a pesantren in Banda Aceh through recorded interviews that were transcribed and coded for grammatical, lexical, and discourse errors. Error types were classified using an SLA-oriented framework, including inflectional and derivational morphology, syntax, lexical choice, pragmatic/discourse, and interlingual errors. The findings reveal that female students were more vulnerable to inflectional morphology errors (50.72%), particularly with verb tense, copula omission, articles, and plural –s. Male students showed higher proportions of syntax errors (33.88%) and pragmatic/discourse errors (7.10%), including misordering, fragments, redundancy, and repetition. Both groups shared difficulties with derivational morphology and lexical choice, while interlingual interference was minimal. The results suggest that while pesantren students share developmental L2 difficulties, gender-based differences emerge in their grammatical and discourse patterns, offering implications for pedagogy and curriculum design.

Abstract

AbstractThis paper focuses on the authenticity of an automated essay grader in determining English writing competence in vocational higher learning students in an English as a Foreign Language (EFL) setting. The study was done in Politeknik Negeri Lhokseumawe, Indonesia where first-year second-semester students of the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) Department participated. The primary dataset consisted of 40 student essays that were gathered at the final writing examination. The essays were graded with the use of an AI-based essay grading through the help of an essay grading tool of Writecream (app.writecream.com), which would provide automated writing scores on the basis of the linguistic and structural characteristics. In an attempt to authenticate the validity of the AI scoring results, this study has used two benchmarking frameworks. The International Corpus Network of Asian Learners of English (ICNALE Online) with special attention to the ICNALE-GRA database was utilized as a corpus-based reference, and it represented the standardized levels of writing proficiency of learners. Second, the Writing Level Analyzer (CWLA) based on CEFR was used where the essays were categorized into the bands of the writing proficiency on the CEFR-J framework. The use of CVLA3 desktop version assisted in the classification of the essays into those bands. The validation process was conducted against the AI-generated scores against CEFR-J level classifications and corpus-based proficiency standards. The results showed that the automated essay assessment system showed a validity rate of 62% which showed moderate level of validity with the results of the CEFR-J aligned assessment. This implies that AIs scoring devices can be of service when it comes to vocational EFL formative writing assessment. Nevertheless, the moderate validity raises the importance of using automated systems alongside human judgment particularly in high-stakes measures as with final examination. Altogether, the research adds practice to the existing body of research on AI-aided language testing and underlines the relevance of validation based on CEFR in education. Keywords:AES; CEFR-J; CWLA; ICNALE-GRA corpus; EFL writing assessment. AbstrakPenelitian ini berfokus pada otentisitas penilai esai otomatis dalam menentukan kompetensi menulis bahasa Inggris pada mahasiswa pendidikan tinggi vokasional dalam konteks Bahasa Inggris sebagai Bahasa Asing (EFL). Studi ini dilakukan di Politeknik Negeri Lhokseumawe, Indonesia, di mana mahasiswa semester dua tahun pertama Jurusan Teknologi Informasi dan Komunikasi (TIK) berpartisipasi. Dataset utama terdiri dari 40 esai mahasiswa yang dikumpulkan pada ujian menulis akhir. Esai-esai tersebut dinilai dengan menggunakan penilaian esai berbasis AI melalui bantuan alat penilaian esai Writecream (app.writecream.com), yang akan memberikan skor menulis otomatis berdasarkan karakteristik linguistik dan struktural. Dalam upaya untuk mengotentikasi validitas hasil penilaian AI, studi ini menggunakan dua kerangka kerja benchmarking. International Corpus Network of Asian Learners of English (ICNALE Online) dengan perhatian khusus pada basis data ICNALE-GRA digunakan sebagai referensi berbasis korpus, dan mewakili tingkat kemampuan menulis standar para pembelajar. Kedua, Writing Level Analyzer (CWLA) berbasis CEFR digunakan di mana esai dikategorikan ke dalam tingkatan kemampuan menulis pada kerangka CEFR-J. Penggunaan versi desktop CVLA3 membantu dalam klasifikasi esai ke dalam tingkatan tersebut. Proses validasi dilakukan terhadap skor yang dihasilkan AI terhadap klasifikasi tingkat CEFR-J dan standar kemampuan berbasis korpus. Hasil menunjukkan bahwa sistem penilaian esai otomatis menunjukkan tingkat validitas 62% yang menunjukkan tingkat validitas moderat dengan hasil penilaian yang selaras dengan CEFR-J. Ini menyiratkan bahwa perangkat penilaian AI dapat bermanfaat dalam hal penilaian penulisan formatif EFL kejuruan. Meskipun demikian, validitas moderat meningkatkan pentingnya penggunaan sistem otomatis bersamaan dengan penilaian manusia, khususnya dalam pengukuran berisiko tinggi seperti ujian akhir. Secara keseluruhan, penelitian ini menambah praktik pada penelitian yang ada tentang pengujian bahasa yang dibantu AI dan menggarisbawahi relevansi validasi berbasis CEFR dalam pendidikan..
