Abstract

This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of using animation videos as a teaching medium to improve students’ vocabulary mastery at SMPN 16 Mataram. The study addressed the problem of low vocabulary achievement caused by conventional and less engaging teaching methods in English classrooms. A quantitative approach was employed using a pre-experimental one-group pre-test and post-test design. The sample consisted of 32 eighth-grade students of class VIII C in the academic year 2024/2025. The instrument used was a validated vocabulary test comprising 20 items in the form of multiple-choice and matching questions. The data were analyzed using a paired sample t-test with the assistance of SPSS 25. The results showed a significant improvement in students’ vocabulary scores, with the mean score increasing from 58.91 in the pre-test to 85.63 in the post-test. The significance value (Sig. 2-tailed) was 0.000, which was lower than 0.05. These findings indicate that animation videos provide an engaging learning experience and effectively enhance students’ vocabulary mastery at the junior high school level.

Abstract

This research examined the implementation of Project-based Learning (PjBL) in English classes at SMKN 1 Mataram. The study aimed to examine students’ engagement, autonomy, and attitudes during project activities, analyse the relationship between PjBL and constructivist learning in vocational education, and provide insights for teacher training, curriculum development, and classroom practices in Indonesian vocational schools. This study used a qualitative case study design involving one class, Class XII LPS 1 majoring Layanan Perbankan Syariah (Sharia Banking Service), consisting of 1 English teacher and 28 students selected through purposive sampling technique. The data collection was employed through observation checklists, document analysis, and field notes, with validated instruments to ensure credibility. The data analysis was conducted thematically to identify patterns in the implementation of PjBL. The findings showed that the implementation of PjBL varied across two observed meetings and remained incomplete. In the first meeting, the teacher only implemented the initial stage by introducing essential questions related to job interviews. Student participation was limited, and no further stages such as project planning or development were conducted. The teacher also shared a personal experience of being rejected for a job in Belgium because she wore a hijab to engage students in discussion. In the second meeting, the implementation improved as the teacher facilitated group work, introduced a project, and monitored students’ activities. However, important stages such as detailed planning, presentation, assessment, and reflection were still absent. Although some progress was evident, the implementation did not represent the complete cycle of PjBL and failed to fully support constructivist principles or student autonomy. The study concludes that comprehensive teacher training, structured planning, and the implementation of all PjBL stages are necessary to maximize its effectiveness in vocational English classrooms.

Abstract

Vocabulary instruction is a critical component of early English language education, significantly contributing to the long-term language development of young learners. However, effectively selecting and applying teaching strategies that align with students’ cognitive and affective needs poses notable challenges, particularly for teachers in madrasah ibtidaiyah (Islamic primary schools). These challenges are often compounded by factors such as limited parental involvement, overcrowded classrooms, scarce teaching resources, and constrained instructional time. This study investigates the vocabulary teaching strategies employed by English for Young Learners (EYL) madrasah teachers and the difficulties they encounter in their implementation. Using a qualitative descriptive design, data were gathered through classroom observations and semi-structured interviews with groups of madrasah teachers. The findings reveal that strategies such as “listen and repeat” and “question and answer” were widely adopted, while approaches like “demonstration,” “brainstorming,” “translation,” and “outdoor activities” were used selectively based on students’ grade levels. Teachers consistently reported various obstacles, including low student motivation, diverse proficiency levels, limited instructional materials, and insufficient time allocated for English instruction. These insights highlight the need for context-responsive pedagogical support and resource development to enhance vocabulary learning outcomes in Islamic primary school settings.

Abstract

Pelaksanaan Ujian Tulis Berbasis Komputer (UTBK) UKPPPG berbasis domisili memberikan kemudahan akses bagi peserta, namun juga menghadirkan berbagai kendala teknis yang berpotensi mengganggu kelancaran ujian. Pengawas dalam hal ini tidak hanya berperan sebagai pengendali pelaksanaan ujian, tetapi juga sebagai fasilitator dalam penyelesaian masalah di lapangan. Kegiatan pengabdian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi kendala pelaksanaan UTBK UKPPPG Guru serta mendeskripsikan strategi penanganan oleh pengawas berdasarkan pengalaman lapangan. Kegiatan ini dilaksanakan di LPTK Universitas Mataram pada UUTBK UKPPPG Periode IV Tahun 2025 dengan pendekatan partisipatif-reflektif. Data diperoleh dari 90 pengawas melalui kuesioner reflektif berbasis Google Forms dan dianalisis secara deskriptif kualitatif. Hasil menunjukkan bahwa kendala utama meliputi gangguan jaringat internet (42.2%), aplikasi ujian (24.4%), perangkat peserta (13.3%), transisi antar-subtes (11.1%), literasi digital peserta (5.6%), dan kendala lainnya (3.4%). Strategi penanganan yang dilakukan pengawas mencakup penggunaan jaringan cadangan, refresh, dan login ulang sistem, penggantian perangkat, pendampingan teknis, serta koordinasi dengan tim teknis. Temuan ini menunjukkan adanya transfromasi peran pengawas dari fungsi pengawasan menjadi fasilitator dan mediator teknis dalam pelaksanaan ujian berbasis komputer.

Abstract

Literary translation requires translators to convey not only linguistic meaning but also the cultural nuances and stylistic features embedded in the source text. This study aimed to analyze the translation techniques used in translating Indonesian expressions into English in the bilingual novel The Architecture of Love by Ika Natassa and to identify the dominant technique employed. A descriptive qualitative research design was adopted. The data consisted of 74 Indonesian expressions selected from eight chapters of the novel. Data were collected through documentary analysis and analyzed using the qualitative data analysis procedures proposed by Miles and Huberman, with the analysis guided by the translation theories of Newmark, Baker, and Hurtado Albir. The findings revealed that the translator employed three main translation techniques: modulation, adaptation, and equivalence. Modulation was the most dominant technique, occurring in 37 cases (50%), followed by equivalence with 19 cases (25.7%) and adaptation with 18 cases (24.3%). The predominance of modulation indicates that the translator frequently modified perspectives, sentence structures, and figurative expressions to produce natural, fluent, and culturally acceptable translations for English readers. Adaptation was mainly used to translate culture-specific expressions, whereas equivalence was applied when established English counterparts existed. These findings demonstrate that effective literary translation requires flexibility in balancing semantic accuracy, cultural transfer, and readability while preserving the meaning and aesthetic qualities of the original text.

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the effect of the Word Detective technique on improving the vocabulary skills of eighth-grade students at MTs. Putri At-Tahzib. The background of the study is based on initial observations showing that most students have low vocabulary skills and are less actively involved in English learning. This study used a quasi-experimental design with two groups: a control group taught conventionally and an experimental group taught using the Word Detective technique. The research sample consisted of 55 students selected through a total sampling technique. Data collection was carried out through a pre-test and post-test with an instrument in the form of 20 multiple-choice questions that have been validated and have a high level of reliability (Cronbach's Alpha = 0.798). The results of the analysis showed that the experimental group experienced an increase in average scores from 52.86 in the pre-test to 74.46 in the post-test, while the control group increased from 51.30 to 63.33. The independent samples t-test yielded a calculated t-value (5.297) greater than the t-table (2.006) at a significance level of 0.05, meaning the alternative hypothesis (Hₐ) was accepted and the null hypothesis (H₀) was rejected. This finding proves that the Word Detective technique has a significant influence in improving students' vocabulary skills. The implications of this study indicate that the Word Detective technique can be an effective learning strategy to improve students' vocabulary skills through an active approach that utilizes contextual clues and word structures. This technique is recommended for application in English learning because it encourages active and meaningful student involvement in the vocabulary acquisition process.

Abstract

The use of digital game-based learning platforms has grown significantly in English language teaching; however, many students still struggle with retaining vocabulary and grammar over time due to limited opportunities for meaningful repetition and engaging practice. This study aims to explore students' perceptions on the use of the Kahoot! learning platform in supporting memory retention in English language learning. This research employed a descriptive qualitative design and was conducted at MAN 3 Mataram. The participants of this study were 15 students selected purposively. The data collection was conducted through questionnaires and semi-structured interviews to obtain in-depth information about students' experiences. The data analysis was employed. The findings indicate that students generally have positive perceptions toward the use of Kahoot! in the classroom. Specifically, 71% of responses related to learning experience were positive, indicating that Kahoot! creates an interactive and enjoyable learning environment that encourages students' active participation. In terms of memory retention, 67% of responses were positive. Students reported that Kahoot! supports their memory retention through three main factors: repetition (repeated exposure to similar questions strengthens memory), retrieval practice (recalling information within time limits encourages active thinking), and contextual learning (visual elements such as images help connect words with their meanings). However, some difficulties were also found, such as time limitations and internet connectivity issues. The practical implications of these findings for English teachers are that Kahoot! can be strategically integrated as a complementary tool for vocabulary and grammar review, used at the beginning or end of lessons to activate prior knowledge and reinforce learning through low-stakes repetition. Teachers should balance game-based activities with direct instruction and classroom discussion to ensure deeper understanding, and they need to anticipate technical constraints by preparing offline backup activities or ensuring stable internet access. Overall, Kahoot! is perceived as a useful tool in supporting students' memory retention in English language learning.

Abstract

Students still face challenges in understanding English learning materials, especially descriptive texts. The lack of interactive digital media is one of the causes of low student engagement and understanding, resulting in less than optimal learning outcomes. This study aims to determine students' perceptions of Canva-based interactive materials designed by teachers in learning descriptive texts. This study used a qualitative descriptive design supported by quantitative data. The subjects of this study were 32 10th-grade students selected using a total sampling technique. Data collection was conducted through a Likert-scale questionnaire and semi-structured interviews. The results showed that most students had a positive perception of the use of Canva materials, with details of 56.3% in the positive category, 28.1% neutral, and 15.6% negative. These findings indicate that the majority of students perceive the benefits of using Canva in learning, such as increased engagement, motivation, and understanding of the material, although a small number of students still face technical difficulties. Practically, these findings provide implications for English teachers are advised to integrate Canva's interactive features such as quizzes with immediate feedback, color-coded activities, and sentence construction exercises into their learning designs. Teachers also need to consider the availability of technological infrastructure, such as providing offline materials or ensuring a stable internet connection, and designing materials with a gradual level of difficulty to accommodate diverse student abilities. Thus, Canva serves not only as a visual presentation tool but also as a student-centered, interactive learning environment.
