Abstract

This study aims to explore the role of academic supervision in improving teachers’ professionalism at Mawaridussalam Islamic Boarding School. Academic supervision at Mawaridussalam Islamic Boarding School possesses distinct characteristics and is implemented systematically, differing significantly from public schools and several other Islamic boarding schools that have not yet adopted a similar system. The research method employed is descriptive qualitative with a case study design, involving several individuals as informants, including the Head of the Boarding School, the Head of the Education Department, the KMI (Kulliyatul Muallimin Al-Islamiyah) Division, and other related parties. Data collection techniques include in-depth interviews, direct observations, and document analysis related to the implementation of academic supervision. Based on the findings, academic supervision plays a significant role in enhancing teachers’ professionalism at Mawaridussalam Islamic Boarding School, particularly in teaching skills, pedagogy, discipline, and self-development. This serves as an innovative model to be applied in public schools and other Islamic boarding schools in an effort to improve the quality of education in Indonesia. Therefore, this research is expected to serve as a reference for developing more effective implementation of such programs in educational institutions and to provide insights for administrative staff in formal education institutions to improve teachers’ professionalism.

Abstract

The development of creative writing skills plays a vital role in fostering critical thinking, effective communication, and advanced literacy. Meanwhile, the 6Cs Global Competencies (critical thinking, creativity, communication, collaboration, character, and citizenship) form the core foundation of the Deep Learning approach which aims to shape globally competitive individuals. This research evaluated the effectiveness of the Self-Writing Living Book method, integrated with Deep Learning in enhancing students' creative writing skills while supporting the growth of the 6Cs competencies. Utilizing a mixed-methods approach, quantitative data was used to assess creative writing abilities, while qualitative data explored the method’s contribution to developing global competencies. Research findings revealed a significant improvement in post-test scores, particularly in elements such as characterization, plot structure, and linguistic style which demonstrating the method’s success in facilitating authentic creative expression. Observations and interviews showed that students experienced growth in character, communication, and collaboration through reflective processes. However, several challenges persisted, including difficulties in initiating writing, constructing narratives, and managing time effectively. The success of the Deep Learning approach largely depends on a supportive learning environment and the empathetic role of the teacher as a facilitator. Overall, this method proves effective in enhancing both students’ skills and learning motivation.

Abstract

This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of using the ELSA Speak Application integrated with the demonstration method on students' pronunciation practice. Pronunciation is an essential aspect of English language teaching that directly influences speaking ability, yet many students face challenges due to native language interference and lack of oral exposure. This research was conducted at SMP Plus Nusantara Medan involving 12 seventh-grade students selected through a purposive sampling technique. The research employed a quasi-experimental design with a single group pre-test and post-test design. Data were collected from the results of students' pre-test and post-test scores, which were then analyzed using statistical tests. Before hypothesis testing, normality and homogeneity tests were conducted, showing that the data were normally distributed and homogeneous. The result of the paired t-test showed a p-value (sig. 2-tailed) of 0.000, which is significantly smaller than the significance level (α=0.050). It was obtained that the t-statistical value was higher than the table t-value (43.203 > 2.201). Therefore, the null hypothesis (H0 ) was rejected and the alternative hypothesis (Ha ) was accepted. The findings demonstrate that the ELSA Speak Application integrated with the demonstration method significantly improved students' pronunciation practice. This approach is recommended as an effective teaching strategy to enhance students' phonetic skills.

Abstract

This research investigates the influence of animated videos integrated with Scenario-Based Learning (SBL) on the speaking proficiency of Grade X students at SMA Negeri 17 Medan during the 2025/2026 academic year. Speaking proficiency is frequently recognized as a significant challenge for high school students, necessitating innovative pedagogical approaches to effectively foster student engagement and skill acquisition in modern classrooms. The study employed a quantitative true experimental design featuring a pre-test and post-test control group structure. The population comprised parallel Grade X classes, from which 30 students were meticulously selected through a random sampling technique. This sample was divided into an experimental group (n=15), taught using animated videos integrated with SBL, and a control group (n=15), receiving conventional instruction. Speaking proficiency was assessed through oral performance tests evaluating pronunciation, fluency, accuracy, and vocabulary.Data analysis conducted using a paired samples t-test revealed significant improvements across both groups. The experimental group’s mean score rose from 62.7 to 88.1, while the control group’s score increased from 59.4 to 76.1. Testing yielded a t-value of 7.491, exceeding the t-table value of 2.145 (df=14) with a significance value (p) of 0.000. These results indicate that the integration of animated videos with SBL exerts a statistically significant positive effect on students' speaking proficiency. The findings suggest that this integrated approach creates an engaging, interactive, and meaningful environment. By providing contextualized scenarios through visual media, students can better internalize linguistic components. Consequently, this instructional strategy is recommended as an effective tool for educators to enhance communicative competence.

Abstract

This study investigates the effectiveness of QuillBot, a free AI feedback application, in enhancing genre-based writing skills among EFL students. Using a one-group pre-test post-test quasi-experimental design, ten first-semester students participated in writing tasks before and after receiving AI feedback. Quantitative analysis revealed a significant improvement, with mean scores increasing by 20 points (t = 12.45, p < 0.001, Cohen’s d = 2.5). QuillBot feedback reports indicated that grammar accuracy, lexical choice, and cohesion were the most improved aspects, while organization of ideas still required lecturer guidance. The findings confirm that AI feedback can serve as effective digital scaffolding in genre-based writing pedagogy.

Abstract

Digital literacy and scientific communication are essential skills that students must master to meet academic demands, adapt to technological developments, and compete in the professional world. One common challenge is how students can present their research proposals in an engaging, structured, and communicative way that is easily understood by lecturers and a wider audience. To address this need, a community service program was conducted through training on the use of Renderforest as a medium for creating research proposal video presentations. The program included several stages: socialization on the importance of digital literacy, demonstration of Renderforest features, hands-on video production practice, and intensive mentoring until students were able to produce their final projects independently. The results showed significant improvement in students’ ability to manage visual content, select appropriate templates, organize the flow of scientific presentations, and integrate narration with multimedia elements. Overall, this training made a tangible contribution to enhancing students’ digital literacy, creativity, and scientific communication skills, while also fostering their confidence in presenting research ideas professionally and attractively.
