Abstract

Strong literacy skills have a significant impact on the mastery of other areas, including numeracy. Although numeracy itself does not directly contribute to the core definition of multimodal literacy, numerical concepts can be taught using a multimodal approach through the use of visual, audio, and kinesthetic modes. Thus, multimodal literacy not only supports the development of language competencies, but can also enrich cross-disciplinary learning strategies. For multimodal learning to be implemented optimally, teachers need to master TPACK, which enables them to design meaningful learning experiences by effectively utilizing technology. This community service activity aims at providing solutions to these problems through training and mentoring for teachers as SD Negeri 149 Palembang in designing and implementing TPACK-based multimodal literacy, the basic principles of TPACK, and practical applications in developing lesson plans that integrate technology and multimodality. This activity was conducted from October 2025 to November 2025, at SD Negeri 149 Palembang, attended by 23 teachers. The implementation methods included four stages, namely identification of teachers’ needs and potential through observations and interviews; presentation on the theory and practice of multimodal literacy and TPACK; workshop on designing TPACK-based and multimodal learning; and the implementation and evaluation of classroom activities. Supported by simple technology applications, such as Canva and other interactive applications, the activity resulted on the knowledge about how to meaningfully integrate technology with pedagogical approaches and content to create rich and engaging learning experiences for students. The use of Topworksheets was one alternative to choose.

Abstract

This study explored the perceptions of sixth-semester students from the English Education Study Program at Sriwijaya University regarding the use of ChatGPT as a translation tool. With the increasing integration of AI technologies into education, understanding students' experiences and attitudes toward such tools is essential, particularly as empirical studies on students’ perceptions of AI-based translation tools in higher education remain limited. This study employed a quantitative approach using a structured questionnaire that measured four aspects: ease of use, usefulness, effectiveness, and attitude. The participants consisted of 93 students, and the data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. The findings revealed that the students held an overall positive perception of ChatGPT. The highest mean score was found in the ease-of-use category, indicating that students found the tool user-friendly and accessible. The usefulness and attitude categories also received positive responses, while the effectiveness category scored slightly lower, suggesting some limitations in translation accuracy. These results highlight the growing role of AI-based tools in language learning and support the use of ChatGPT as a supplementary translation resource.
