Abstract

This research analyzes the errors in students' pronunciation when students read a paragraph aloud. Data was obtained from research on 15 class XI students of SMK Swadaya Semarang. They were taken using a simple random sampling method. The data collection technique is that students record their voices while reading, which the researcher then transcribes the recording into phonetics to analyze errors. The results of the research show that most students replace sounds that are not found in Indonesian and replacing English vowels with Indonesian vowels. Students are familiar with the following phoneme similarities: /i/ as /i:/, /i/ and /e/ as /ae/ , /ʌ/ as /ɑː/, /ə/ as /ɜː/, /ɒ / as / ɔː/, /e/ as /æ/, and /u/ as /ʊ/, /u:/. Thus, it seems that there are still many students who still have difficulty pronouncing English words correctly because their tongues are not yet used to vowels other than the vowels in their mother tongue.

The subjects of the study were students of class XI TFLM 1 SMK N 7 Semarang. The results of the study showed that (1) students of SMK N 7 Semarang had adequate readiness to adopt hybrid learning in English learning, with a readiness level of 65.57%, (2) factors that hindered students' readiness involved facility constraints, skills, and motivation in online learning, and (3) factors that supported students' readiness included guidance from teachers, support from parents, and cooperation among students.

Abstract

This study highlights the importance of building strong self-regulated motivation in EFL learners before engaging them in academic writing tasks. Motivation plays a vital role in helping learners handle the challenges of academic writing and develop effective learning strategies. This small-scale library research aimed to explore how self-regulated motivation supports the improvement of EFL learners’ writing skills. A thematic analysis was conducted on 25 studies related to self-regulated motivation and academic writing to ensure the relevance and reliability of the findings. The results revealed two main outcomes: (1) self-regulated motivation helps learners become more organized in their writing process, and (2) it enables them to achieve better academic writing outcomes. These findings emphasize the need for educators to promote self-regulation in writing instruction to support learners’ long-term academic growth.

Abstract

This community service program aims at implementing and integrating CFTM in realizing child-friendly learning. The community service program partner is SMK Penerbangan Kartika Aqasa Bhakti Semarang. The partner is one of the child-friendly schools (SRA) in Semarang City; however, the partner has not implemented child-friendly learning. The priority problems faced by the partner are: 1) There is no common perception between students, teachers, education personnel, principals, and parents regarding the Child-Friendly School concept; 2) There is no joint commitment between students, teachers, education personnel, principals, and parents regarding the Child-Friendly School concept; 3) Students, teachers, education personnel and principals do not yet know the child-friendly learning model; and 4) There has been no implementation of the child-friendly learning model (CFTM) in the partner school. The methods used in this community service program are socialization and training, mentoring learning practices, and monitoring and evaluation. The implementation of this activity shows that the integration of the Child Friendly Teaching Model in learning in vocational schools allows for a transformation in the way teachers teach, especially in building a more positive and participatory learning environment. This is evident from the increase in student interaction, a more conducive classroom atmosphere, and changes in the teacher's approach that prioritizes empathy and active student involvement.
