Abstract

This study aims to review the extent of the studies that have been carried out related to the Duolingo application in learning English. This study uses a descriptive quantitative research method with a content analysis approach. The data was obtained from the Google Scholar database in the form of journal articles about the Duolingo application in learning English which were published during the 2018-2022 period. The analysis was carried out by mapping the articles into three groups; the year of publication, type of research, and theme of study. The results of the study show that of 40 articles analyzed, the majority examine the use of the Duolingo application to facilitate learning vocabulary. Meanwhile, there are very few articles that examine the use of the Duolingo application to improve language skills. Therefore, in the future, researchers should conduct research on the Duolinggo application which is applied to improve English language skills.

Abstract

Kudus has good industrial and tourism potential. One of them is the cigarette industry; and even because there are so many cigarette industries there, Kudus Regency government built Kretek Museum as a tourist media as well as the one for preserving the history of the cigarette industry that can attract tourists from all over the world. This potential has not been realized optimally, because the tourist information media at Kretek Museum still only uses Indonesian. This community service activity aims to provide assistance to the Kretek Museum in completing tourism information media using bilingual method combining Indonesian and English. This service activity is carried out through a review, revision and addition, and the preparation of tourism information media with the bilingual method. Through Assistance in the Preparation of Tourism Information Media with the Application of the Bilingual Method, tourist information media at the Kretek Museum can be accessed more effectively by tourists from all over the world.

Abstract

Children online stories represent a modern evolution of traditional storytelling, where classic tales and original narratives are shared through digital platforms rather than printed books. In the context of language and education, children online stories are also valuable tools for language acquisition and discourse analysis. The way information is structured, how themes (what the story is about) and Rhemes (what is said about it) are organized. They can influence how children comprehend the text and internalize the message. This study investigates how theme and rheme structures operate in children online stories written by English native (The Fox and The Crow, Little Red Riding Hood) and Indonesian authors (The Mousedeer and The Crocodile and Bawang Merah Bawang Putih). By exploring the use of thematic progression within selected texts, the research seeks to uncover narrative patterns influenced by linguistic and cultural contexts. The core research problem addresses how English native authors and Indonesian authors differ in their arrangement of theme and rheme. The objective is to compare the structural use of topical, interpersonal, textual themes and thematic progression in selected twelve fables and twelve folktales Indonesian stories in English version and English originated stories. This study adopts a qualitative approach using purposive sampling to select four representative texts. The analysis applies Halliday and Matthiessen Systemic Functional Linguistics (2004), focusing on clause level theme identification and thematic progression across the stories. Findings reveal that English native authors tend to use a wider range of interpersonal and textual themes to develop reader engagement and consistency, while Indonesian authors prioritize topical themes to convey moral clarity and cultural norms. This divergence reflects differing narrative priorities and strategies rooted in linguistic traditions. The study concludes that theme and rheme structures in children stories are not only textual mechanisms but also carriers of cultural meaning. The implications support cross cultural literacy development and inform educators, translators, and curriculum designers in fostering inclusive and culturally responsive literature for children.
