Abstract

This research investigates sixth grade of elementary school students’ perceptions after learning writing descriptive text with Differentiated Instruction (DI). The current research employs survey research with questionnaire as the instrument. There are four key dimensions assessed from the questionnaire: the effectiveness of DI, supports from the teacher, ease of understanding, and students’ learning motivation. The findings reveal that DI significantly improved students' writing by simplifying complex tasks into manageable steps and making the learning process more engaging. Students appreciate the clear guidance and support from their teacher, which increased their confidence and comfort. DI also tailored instruction to individual needs, facilitating better comprehension and enjoyment of writing. The research concludes that DI effectively enhances students’ writing skills and suggests that future research should explore the long-term impacts of DI, integrate diverse assessment tools, and examine the role of teacher training in optimizing DI implementation.

Abstract

The research aims to find out the process of translating recount texts by using Google Translation Machine. This study integrated a qualitative phenomenological approach of a group of 18 tenth-grade students at MA Miftahul Jannah, Palangka Raya. Online questionnaires via Google Forms and unstructured follow-up interviews were employed. The 15-question questionnaire, featuring both open-ended and closed-ended formats, explored aspects ranging from general usage of resources, such as Google Translation Machine, to specific processes in translating recount texts. The result of this research showed the students' process in translation began with comprehensively reading the text to gain full understanding. Following this initial step, they mentally process their translation before writing it down. In the translating phase, Google Translate was an essential tool. Some students used it directly, while others employed it as a guide for their translations. The focus here was on the accurate selection of words, phrases, and sentences. Once the translation was complete, the majority of the students cross-checked their work against the original text to maintain fidelity. However, a small number skipped this critical revision step. This highlighted the necessity of reinforcing the importance of evaluation and revision stages in the translation process.

Abstract

This study explored the writing strategies employed by EFL students when composing Classroom Action Research (CAR) proposals, focusing on the frequency of strategy use. Using a quantitative research design, data were collected through a structured questionnaire administered to 48 undergraduate students in the English Language Education Study Program at the University of Palangka Raya. The questionnaire measured the frequency of pre-writing, while-writing, and revising strategies. The findings reveal that students frequently engaged with while-writing strategies, particularly translation from Indonesian to English. The pre-writing stage showed moderate engagement, with students commonly reviewing examples of well-written proposals but less frequently using formal outlining techniques. In the revising stage, feedback from lecturers was highly valued, with students actively using it to improve their proposals. However, self-editing strategies were less emphasized, indicating a reliance on external feedback for revisions. The study concludes that while students benefit from translation and feedback-driven revision, there is a need for more significant support in developing independent revision skills and expanding academic vocabulary.

Abstract

Bahasa Inggris sudah sepatutnya diperkenalkan sejak di bangku sekolah dasar, namun tidak semua sekolah dasar menerapkan mata pelajaran Bahasa Inggris, seperti di SDN 4 Samba Danum yang terletak di Kabupaten Katingan, Kalimantan Tengah. Sekolah ini tidak memiliki guru untuk mengajarkan Bahasa Inggris. Selain itu, di Desa Samba Danum tidak terdapat lembaga bimbingan belajar Bahasa Inggris. Faktor ekonomi juga berkontribusi terhadap kesulitan anak-anak di desa ini dalam belajar Bahasa Inggris. Berdasarkan masalah ini, penulis melaksanakan program bimbingan belajar Bahasa Inggris untuk siswa SDN 4 Samba Danum dengan tujuan agar mereka dapat mengenal dan mempelajari Bahasa Inggris. Hasil dari program bimbingan belajar Bahasa Inggris ini menunjukkan bahwa siswa sangat antusias dan semangat untuk belajar Bahasa Inggris. Dalam setiap pertemuan siswa menjadi semakin percaya diri dalam menggunakan Bahasa Inggris. Pelaksanaan kegiatan bimbingan belajar Bahasa Inggris ini berjalan dengan sangat lancar dari awal hingga akhir pertemuan. Hasil pengabdian ini memberikan gambaran pelaksanaan bimbingan belajar untuk Bahasa Inggris di daerah yang tidak menerapkan pengajaran Bahasa Inggris secara formal.

Abstract

The goal of this research is to identify the main factor that influences students when learning English. A survey was conducted with 57 students from the English Education Study Program at the University of Nias participating. Data was gathered using a questionnaire on Google Form that employed a Likert scale, and it was analyzed statistically to obtain descriptive statistics and Pearson Correlation results. The results reveal that intelligence shows a perfect positive correlation in sig. (2-tailed) with all factors at levels of 0.01 and 0.05. It has an unstandardized coefficient (B) of 4.439 and a standard error of 0.657, culminating in a t-value of 6.761. The significance level of intelligence is below 0.001, suggesting that it is an extremely important part of the model. The conclusion of the research indicates that intelligence is the primary factor among all the influences on students in learning English, as determined by Beta Coefficient.

Abstract

This study examines the effect of using the Odd One Out game to improve students’ knowledge of clothing-related English vocabulary. The research includes introducing the Odd One Out game to students, explaining its concepts, planning and designing lessons using this game, evaluating and measuring learning outcomes. The study was conducted at SDN 6 Menteng, Central Kalimantan, involving 26 fifth-grade students from class 5B. This game incorporates in-depth material exploration, development of learning activities, and group discussions in the classroom. Implementing the Odd One Out game has demonstrated that students in the school significantly improved their knowledge of clothing-related English vocabulary. The learning process also fostered a competitive and engaging classroom environment. The implementation of the learning process through the Odd One Out game was conducted successfully and efficiently. Game-based learning methods can serve as an effective solution to address the low interest of elementary school students in learning English vocabulary.

Abstract

Improving the quality of human resources in rural areas is a significant challenge in achieving equal education in Indonesia, particularly in areas such as Tumbang Nusa Village, Jabiren Raya District, Pulang Pisau Regency, Central Kalimantan. Low awareness of the importance of education and limited access to English language learning are factors that hinder the development of the younger generation's potential. This community service activity aims to increase the awareness and basic English language skills through a participatory and contextual approach based on the school community. The implementation method includes interactive training, song-based and visual learning, and joint reflection, face-to-face at partner schools. The results of the activity demonstrated high enthusiasm among participants, active engagement in the learning process, and increased motivation to learn English. This activity also strengthened collaboration between the community service team, the village, and the school as local partners. This activity suggests that the contextual and communicative approach is effective in developing learning awareness and language skills among students living in rural areas.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the learning experience and English exposure level of English Language Education students at Palangka Raya University. The study used mixed methods with data collection through closed-ended questionnaires and open-ended questions, which were analyzed descriptively quantitatively and qualitatively. The results show that most students have a fairly positive learning experience, especially in terms of motivation and engagement. However, the active use of English is still inconsistent. Informal exposure to English through digital media appears to be more dominant, with a higher tendency of utilizing entertainment content than educational content. Meanwhile, the use of English in formal contexts and social environments is still relatively limited. These findings emphasize the importance of learning strategies that are able to combine formal, informal, and self-learning approaches in a balanced manner to support students' overall mastery of English.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the relevance and pedagogical implications of Suryawinata and Hariyanto’s translation theory in Indonesian senior high school contexts. Translation is recognized not only as a linguistic skill but also as a tool to develop students’ cultural understanding and critical thinking in English language education. Employing a qualitative descriptive design in the form of a literature review, the study analyzed 46 sources, including books, journal articles, and conference proceedings, published between 2009 and 2025 in both Indonesian and English. These sources were selected based on their relevance to translation pedagogy, strategies, and classroom practices. The findings indicate that the structured stages of the Suryawinata and Hariyanto model (analysis, transfer, restructuring, and evaluation) align well with the needs of Indonesian high school students and can support curriculum goals by promoting linguistic accuracy and cultural sensitivity. Despite challenges such as limited class time, varying student proficiency levels, and lack of specialized teaching materials, the model offers opportunities for integration into project-based learning, formative assessment, and cross-curricular instruction. The novelty of this study lies in its systematic synthesis of translation theory and its practical connection to secondary education, an area that has been underexplored in previous research. This review provides a foundation for future instructional innovation and material development, particularly for teachers, curriculum designers, and educational researchers seeking to enhance English language learning through translation.

Abstract

The prevalence of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in this modern era has been one of the major interests in translation studies. The ability of AI to produce human-like translations has become an ongoing discussion among scholars. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the utility of AI in providing alternatives for journalistic text translation results made by English Department students of Universitas Palangka Raya during a Translation Course. Given the communicative nature of journalistic texts, this study explores how culturally distinctive features, such as idioms, collocations, traditional language nuances, and organization names, are translated from Indonesian into English. By referring to translation strategies adapted from Newmark (1988), Hoed (2006), and Baker (2011), translation results made by students are compared with those generated by AI technology, i.e. DeepL and ChatGPT. Since creativity is one of the key characteristics of human translation, this study examines whether AI systems can be reliable tools for demonstrating the same creativity level. Translation creativity in this study refers to the ability to select the most effective strategies and wording to produce better translation versions of those culturally distinctive features. This study is expected to shed light on the evolving role of AI in the field of translation.
