Abstract

Permasalahan penguasaan teknologi dan lemahnya kompetensi bahasa Inggris sering dialami oleh guru pendidikan anak usia dini (PAUD). Hal ini dikarenakan sebagian besar guru PAUD bukan lulusan bahasa Inggris dan jarang menggunakan media digital dalam pembelajaran. Program Studi Pendidikan Bahasa Inggris Universitas Muhammadiyah Purworejo menyelenggarakan pelatihan literasi digital untuk mengatasi masalah yang dihadapi. Kegiatan pelatihan dilaksanakan secara daring melalui aplikasi Zoom. Sebanyak 35 (tiga puluh lima) guru PAUD berpartisipasi dalam kegiatan ini. Untuk mengetahui ketercapaian program dan respon peserta, wawancara terstruktur dilakukan setelah sesi penyampaian materi dan diskusi. Hasil wawancara menunjukkan bahwa peserta senang dan antusias mengikuti kegiatan pelatihan. Program PKM ini mampu memperkuat literasi digital dan meningkatan kompetensi guru dalam mengajarkan bahasa Inggris di tingkat PAUD. Pelatihan literasi digital lanjutan perlu diselenggarakan dengan menambah jumlah peserta yang berasal dari guru PAUD dan sekolah dasar.

Abstract

Technology literacy and poor teaching competences are common weaknesses experienced by junior high school teachers. This is because most junior high school teachers rarely use technology-based media in developing learning materials. Lecturers of English Education Study Program, Universitas Muhammadiyah Purworejo held training on technology-assisted learning media to overcome the problems faced. The method used was covered four steps namely problem analysis, preparation, implementation, and evaluation. The training activities were carried out face to face at SMP N 22 Purworejo. A total of 36 (thirty six) teachers participated in this activity. To evaluate the training program's achievements and participant responses, close-response questionnaires and semi-structured interviews were conducted after the presentation and discussion sessions finished. The results of the interviews showed that the participants were happy and enthusiastic about participating in the training activities. This community service program is able to increase teacher competence in developing technology-based learning media. The output of this program was an article published in a national-accredited journal. Further training needs to be held by increasing the number of participants from junior and senior high school teachers.

Abstract

This study examined how PowerPoint, YouTube, Canva, and Quizizz are used by an English teacher in face-to-face classroom instruction and how tenth-grade students perceive the impact of each platform on their interest, comprehension, motivation, and activeness in learning English. Drawing on Mayer's Cognitive Theory of Multimedia Learning and Self-Determination Theory, a descriptive qualitative design was employed, with data collected through classroom observations and semi-structured interviews involving eight purposively selected tenth-grade students at SMA Muhammadiyah Purworejo and SMA Muhammadiyah Kutoarjo, Purworejo Regency. Data were analyzed using the interactive model of Miles and Huberman through inductive coding and thematic analysis. The findings reveal that each platform served a distinct instructional function: PowerPoint for structured content delivery, YouTube for audiovisual input and pronunciation modeling, Canva for visual vocabulary instruction, and Quizizz as a gamified assessment tool. All eight students (8/8) reported increased interest and comprehension, seven of eight (7/8) reported motivational gains, and critical perceptions also emerged among four students (4/8) regarding internet disruption, alongside cognitive overload, time-pressure anxiety, and passive engagement during video viewing. The main contribution of this study is that the effectiveness of digital media integration depends on the alignment between platform affordances, pedagogical purpose, learner needs, and infrastructural support, not merely on the use of technology.

Abstract

Writing proficiency remains a major challenge for English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners, particularly in managing macro-level organizational aspects such as unity and coherence. Although previous studies have generally treated these constructs as complementary components of writing quality, limited research has examined them as distinct yet interconnected competencies. This study aims to investigate how Grade X vocational students at SMK TKM Teknik Purworejo realize unity and coherence in recount writing and to identify their proficiency profiles. This study employed a descriptive qualitative design involving 34 student recount texts analyzed using a validated analytical checklist focusing on thematic consistency, logical sequencing, tense consistency, and cohesive device use. The findings reveal an imbalance between unity and coherence. Most students were able to maintain thematic focus and sustain a central idea throughout their texts. However, many experienced difficulties in constructing coherent discourse, particularly in connecting ideas logically, maintaining smooth progression, and using cohesive devices effectively. Common problems included overreliance on simple temporal conjunctions, limited lexical cohesion, and fragmented narrative flow. The findings suggest that coherence requires more complex linguistic and cognitive skills than unity. This study contributes to EFL writing research by providing insight into discourse-level writing competence in a vocational context and highlighting the importance of teaching coherence explicitly in writing instruction.

Abstract

This study examines the impact of a mobile learning application on the reading and writing skills of fifth-grade students in Purworejo Regency, Central Java.  Eighty students were divided into an experimental group using the LearnEnglish Kids: Playtime app and a control group using traditional methods. The data were collected through writing tests and questionnaires and anallyzed using Guttman scale Results showed significant improvement in the experimental group, with mean scores rising from 61.07 to 88.08 and 85% of students achieving an “Excellent” rating. The control group showed only modest gains, with mean scores increasing from 57.15 to 63.63. Tests for normality, homogeneity, and an independent sample t-test confirmed a statistically significant difference between the two groups (Sig. 0.000). Additionally, a questionnaire revealed that 71% of students agreed the app helped improve their language skills, and 96% felt it met their learning needs. These findings suggest that integrating mobile learning tools like LearnEnglish Kids: Playtime into the curriculum can significantly boost student performance and motivation. Future research should investigate the long-term effects of mobile learning on language skills and explore its applicability across different educational settings.

Abstract

Reading comprehension remains a major challenge for Indonesian vocational students learning English as a Foreign Language (EFL), partly because conventional instruction often fails to promote engagement. This study investigated the effectiveness of Stardew Valley, a commercial farming simulation game, as an authentic digital learning medium to improve EFL reading comprehension. A pre-experimental one-group pretest–posttest design was employed involving 36 tenth-grade vocational students. Participants completed a pretest, engaged in a structured 50-minute gameplay session emphasizing dialogue, quest instructions, and contextual reading tasks, and then completed a posttest. Reading comprehension was measured using a validated 25-item multiple-choice test. The findings revealed that the mean score increased from 55.00 to 66.94. A paired-samples t-test indicated a statistically significant improvement, t(35) = 9.580, p < 0.001, with a large practical effect (Cohen’s d = 1.597). These findings demonstrate that integrating commercial digital games into EFL instruction can effectively enhance reading comprehension while fostering greater learner engagement in vocational education.
