Abstract

Listening is essential in the EFL classroom; however, the textbook lacked listening activities. This study aims to design Task-Based Language Teaching (TBLT) supplementary listening activities for tenth-grade students at SMAN 10 Pontianak. This study uses the Analysis, Design, Development model as the research and development framework. Data were collected through interviews and a questionnaire involving two English teachers, 93 tenth-grade students, and a curriculum developer. The analysis phase revealed that students and teachers require supplementary material to develop listening skills. In the design phase, the researcher developed an e-book containing nine TBLT-based listening activities, each structured into pre-task, main task, and post-task phases, supported by twelve audio files accessible via QR codes. In the development phase, an internal evaluation was conducted, and the product achieved a high score and was categorized as very feasible across quality criteria, including curriculum alignment, TBLT implementation, and usability.

Abstract

This classroom action research investigated the effectiveness of integrating the EXCUL (Explore, eXpress, Create, Use, Link) method as a pedagogical strategy to foster deep learning engagement among 11th-grade EFL students. Conducted over two intervention cycles, the study examined how experiential and culturally responsive learning sequences supported students’ participation, critical thinking, and meaningful language use. Data were collected through observations, student worksheets, learning artifacts, and engagement checklists, then analyzed using descriptive statistics and qualitative thematic coding.Findings showed a clear increase in students’ behavioral, emotional, and cognitive engagement after the implementation of EXCUL. Students became more active in collaborative tasks, demonstrated improved confidence in expressing ideas, and displayed stronger abilities to connect English learning with real-life cultural contexts. Quantitative scores of engagement and task performance also showed notable gains between Cycle 1 and Cycle 2. The study concludes that the EXCUL method effectively promotes deeper learning approaches by positioning students as active constructors of knowledge. These findings highlight the potential of experiential–cultural integration as a powerful model for student-centered English language teaching in Indonesian classrooms.

Abstract

This research investigated how Telegram Group improved students' vocabulary achievement in terms of word class, consisting of nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, word meanings, and language usage among the grade eight students at SMP Negeri 25 Pontianak. A pre-experimental design was used in the investigation. Enrolment in the study was limited to ninety-four children from eight grade levels (A, B, and C). A total of 32 students from 8B were used as a sample in this study. The research data was derived from the outcomes of both the pre- and post-tests. With a total of thirty items, the test was comprised of multiple-choice questions. Microsoft Excel was used for the data analysis. There was a marked improvement between the results of the pre- and post-tests. Data analysis revealed that after the test, the average score was 89.84, up from 68.53 before the test. Moreover, the effect size was 1.728, suggesting that the alternative hypothesis “The use of Telegram group is effective on vocabulary acquisition of eighth-grade students of SMP Negeri 25 Pontianak” was accepted. Based on the acceptance of the hypothesis, it is suggested that teachers use Telegram Group more often in teaching vocabulary.

Abstract

Writing is an essential English language skill, yet many students experience difficulties in generating ideas, organizing content, and maintaining motivation. Although Canva has been increasingly integrated into language learning, limited studies have explored students' perceptions of its use in Project-Based Learning (PjBL) for writing activities at the junior high school level. This study aimed to explore ninth-grade students' perceptions of using Canva in PjBL for writing activities at SMP Suster Pontianak. A qualitative descriptive design was employed involving 35 students from Class 9B selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through questionnaires, classroom observations, and documentation. The findings indicated that students generally perceived Canva positively, as it enhanced creativity, motivation, confidence, idea organization, collaboration, and active participation in writing activities. Despite challenges related to internet connectivity and certain Canva features, Canva was perceived as an effective learning tool that supported writing activities within the Project-Based Learning framework.

Abstract

The rapid development of artificial intelligence, digital algorithms, and social media has fundamentally transformed the way human beings think, make decisions, and construct their identities. Amid the abundance of choices and unlimited access to information, a new paradox emerges: people experience greater freedom while simultaneously having their consciousness subtly shaped by algorithmic systems, the attention economy, and digital connectivity. This study aims to examine the transformation of human freedom in the digital age from the perspectives of philosophy and Catholic theological anthropology. Employing a qualitative library research design, the study analyzes data through content analysis integrated with a critical hermeneutical approach involving data reduction, conceptual synthesis, philosophical-theological interpretation, and reflective conclusion drawing. The findings reveal that the central crisis of the digital era is fundamentally anthropological rather than technological. Human freedom is not eliminated directly but reconstructed into an illusion of freedom through algorithmic personalization, digital convenience, and predictive technological systems, gradually weakening reflective autonomy, authentic relationships, and moral responsibility. The study further argues that the transition toward Homo Digitalis must be counterbalanced by the development of Homo sapiens sapiens, a vision of humanity characterized not merely by knowledge but by moral wisdom capable of directing technology toward the common good. Grounded in the Christian understanding of the human person as imago Dei, technology should remain an instrument serving human dignity rather than redefining human existence itself. This study contributes a conceptual synthesis linking contemporary philosophy, Christian anthropology, and digital ethics, thereby offering a renewed theological perspective on human freedom in the age of artificial intelligence

Abstract

This study evaluates the English-speaking ability of seven key staff at the Bureau for Executive Administration of West Kalimantan. English proficiency is an essential requirement for Indonesian civil servants to achieve the goals of the “SMART State Civil Apparatus 2024” and “World Class Bureaucracy 2025”. Because West Kalimantan shares a strategic land border with Sarawak, Malaysia, and engages with foreign investors and international partners, these officers regularly engage in bilateral diplomacy, security coordination, and international public relations. This research measured the practical speaking skills of these officials across five linguistic areas, such as pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary, fluency, and understanding, using a qualitative approach and Target Situation Analysis. Simulated speaking tests revealed a wide and concerning range of skill levels. Although some specialized staff showed moderate proficiency, significant weaknesses were found among the majority, particularly in diplomatic vocabulary and grammatical structure. Notably, senior leadership and frontline protocol staff displayed critical language gaps that limit international engagement and create operational risks. These findings provide a clear baseline for designing customized English for Specific Purposes (ESP) training modules. Grounded in adult learning principles, this training aims to improve the institution's communication skills and overall effectiveness in cross-border diplomacy and wider international cooperation.
