In this research, researcher used a qualitative descriptive design. Researcher collected data through interviews with principals, homeroom teachers, and students in grades I, II, IV, and VI. The results of this research reveal that teachers lack understanding of learning models related to the “Kurikulum Merdeka”, and teachers still need time to adapt to the “Kurikulum Merdeka”. In addition, the teacher's English language skills are still lacking so the teacher states that there is a need for an English teacher with an English education background, the teacher also needs training related to the “Kurikulum Merdeka”, and inadequate English learning facilities. Furthermore, some factors inhibit the implementation of the “Kurikulum Merdeka”, such as internal factors and external factors. Internal factors consist of some students who show disinterest when learning English subjects, students who have difficulty in understanding learning materials and find the learning process uninteresting, mostly due to dissatisfaction with learning methods. Therefore, the external factors that inhibit the implementation of the "Kurikulum Merdeka” ‘consist of grade IV students who express their dissatisfaction with the English teaching methods used in their class and teachers’ lack of understanding in using technological media which results in a less-than-optimal learning process.

Abstract

Keterampilan menulis yang baik memungkinkan pemikiran kritis dan komunikasi yang efektif, baik untuk tujuan akademik, profesional, maupun pribadi. Keberhasilan akademik, pemikiran kritis, dan komunikasi yang efektif bergantung pada kemampuan menulis yang baik. Namun, banyak siswa menghadapi kesulitan membuat tulisan yang mudah dipahami, ringkas, dan terorganisir. Latihan menulis tradisional tidak selalu melibatkan siswa atau menekankan keterampilan komunikasi dunia nyata. Kesenjangan ini menunjukkan bahwa pendekatan pengajaran kreatif harus digunakan untuk membantu siswa membangun keterampilan penting secara terstruktur selain membuat tulisan relevan dan menarik. Melalui penulisan yang terfokus dan berorientasi pada tujuan, pelatihan menulis berita menawarkan solusi yang ampuh untuk masalah ini. Metode yang digunakan yaitu pemaparan materi, praktik menulis berita dan Focus Group Discussion. Hasil pelatihan menunjukkan selama pelatihan menulis berita, siswa mampu mengumpulkan informasi dari sumber yang dapat diandalkan, memverifikasi kebenaran, dan mensintesis informasi dari berbagai sudut pandang. Mereka juga dapat mengevaluasi kredibilitas sumber informasi dan mempraktikkan pengumpulan informasi yang dapat dipertanggung jawabkan selama pelatihan. Tim pengabdian menyimpulkan bahwa pelaksanaan pelatihan menulis berita di SMK Laniang Makassar berjalan dengan baik dan memenuhi tujuan pengabdian.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze simple sentence patterns and the structure of phrases in reading texts in the Talk Active textbook for 10th grade students at SMAN 13 Maros. This study focuses on identifying syntactic sentence patterns and syntactic structures of phrases in the sentences. A total of 140 simple sentences from 14 chapters were analyzed using the classification of simple sentence patterns according to Quirk et al., (1985), phrase structure rules theory according to Bornstein (1984), and syntactic tree diagram representation according to Aarts (2001). The results showed that the most dominant sentence patterns were SVC and SVO, followed by SVOA and SVA, while complex patterns such as SVOO and SVOC rarely appeared, and the simplest pattern SV did not appear at all. Noun phrases (NPs) were dominated by Pronoun and Determiner + Noun, while verb phrases were dominated by linking verbs (Vl) with complements and transitive verbs (Vt) with objects and additional adverbials, supporting the dominance of SVC, SVO, and SVOA patterns. These findings indicate that the textbook tend to feature more descriptive sentences where sentence patterns are used to explain or identify subjects and express actions or events.

Abstract

Although writing scientific papers requires critical thinking and mastery of academic language, many students still struggle with coherence, logical structure, and proper citation. However, advances in artificial intelligence (AI), particularly prompt-based generative language models, offer new opportunities to support academic writing. The training included a presentation of the material and practical exercises, followed by questionnaires and interviews to explore students’ perceptions. The results indicated that the moderate and targeted use of AI, especially during the planning and revision stages, improved the clarity of the academic language and the cohesion between paragraphs. AI helped students overcome psychological barriers to writing, increasing their motivation without raising ethical concerns related to academic integrity and overreliance on AI-generated content. Overall, the community service team concludes that prompt-based AI can effectively enhance students’ scientific papers when used with critical reflection, guidance from lecturers, and strong ethical awareness.
