Abstract: English proficiency from an early age plays a significant role in shaping the competence of the younger generation to face global challenges. At Sanggar Belajar Tembesi Sidomulyo, English learning is not yet optimal because the teachers lack a for-mal educational background in the field, causing students to have difficulty mastering basic vocabulary, pronunciation, and understanding instructions. This research aims to address this problem by implementing an Activity Based Learning (ABL) approach, which emphasizes active student involvement through direct activities such as games, songs, visual simulations, and pronunciation exercises. This activity was carried out in four sessions on July 22, July 25, July 29, and August 4, 2025. Evaluation results indi-cate notable improvement. Among the five participating students, four students (80%) showed an average 20% increase in basic vocabulary mastery compared to pre-activity levels. Ninety percent demonstrated clearer pronunciation, and all students (100%) re-ported feeling enthusiastic and more motivated to learn. These findings confirm that the Activity Based Learning (ABL) approach is effective in enhancing participation and learning motivation while creating an enjoyable and meaningful learning experience. All students expressed interest in joining similar activities in the future.

Abstract

Language is a social semiotic resource that individuals utilize to express meanings in context and achieve their purposes. In Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL), the transitivity system is a common means used to construe human experience into a set of process types. The present study aimed to discover the process types of transitivity system in the legal document. Data was obtained from PT. Warlbor International Indonesia, Non-Disclosure Agreement and descriptive qualitative research was used as the research method. The findings show that the material processes have the highest frequency with 47 occurrences (50%) among all the processes. The relational processes come in the second highest frequency with 31 occurrences (33%), followed by the mental processes with 14 occurrences (15%) for third place. Verbal processes, with a total of 2 occurrences or 2%, rank in the fourth position. However, neither behavioural nor existential processes are discovered in the data sources analyzed. The highest percentage of material processes usage implies that legal documents primarily describe the external world, including things, events, and human actions or about what humans have done.

Abstract

This study aims to investigate students’ English learning needs and the use of technology to support instruction in aviation and shipping vocational programs. Using a qualitative approach, data were collected through classroom observations and semi-structured interviews to explore students’ language challenges, learning preferences, and teachers’ instructional practices. The participants consisted of 16 twelfth-grade students and one English teacher from a vocational school in Batam. The findings reveal that students face significant difficulties in listening and grammar, which reduce their confidence in speaking, while English instruction remains general and not aligned with the specific demands of each department. Technology was available but used minimally and primarily for basic presentations rather than interactive learning. These results highlight the need to implement profession-oriented English learning supported by interactive digital tools to increase motivation, develop communication skills, and enhance students’ readiness for the aviation and maritime workplace. Overall, this study contributes by providing insights into learners’ specific needs and emphasizing the importance of integrating targeted ESP instruction with meaningful technology use in vocational contexts.

Abstract

English proficiency is increasingly important for medical personnel working in multilingual healthcare environments. This study examines the English language needs and challenges faced by medical staff in Batam, Indonesia, using a Target Situation Analysis (TSA) framework. A qualitative case study design was employed, with data collected through semi-structured interviews with ten medical staff members, including nurses and midwives, who had at least five years of hospital experience and prior experience communicating with foreign patients in English. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings reveal that English is primarily needed for communicating with foreign patients and for professional interactions. Speaking and listening were identified as the most essential skills, with pronunciation clarity playing a significant role in patient safety. However, participants reported several challenges, including limited medical vocabulary, grammar difficulties, listening comprehension problems, pronunciation issues, and low confidence when speaking English. The study concludes that a gap exists between workplace communication demands and medical staff's English proficiency. Therefore, TSA-based English for Medical Purposes (EMP) training is recommended to address practical communication needs in healthcare settings.

Abstract

Background: The cultivation of social behaviour during childhood and adolescence holds paramount importance, serving as a cornerstone for the establishment of robust interpersonal connections in subsequent stages of life, whether transitioning from adolescence to adulthood. Research Objective: This research aims to assess how implementing enhanced physical education influences social interactions and behaviour among adolescents. Methods: The study employed a pretest-posttest control group design, involving experimental and control groups randomly selected from high school students in the City of Aceh. The study’s population was drawn from class X students at a public high school in Aceh City, encompassing 4 classes with a total of 124 students. Cluster random sampling was employed as the sampling technique. The researcher randomly selected one class as the experimental group and another as the control group. The participants included two classes: 30 students from class 10B as the experimental group and 30 students from class 10D as the control group. Thus, the study involved a total of 60 participants. Social behaviour was evaluated using standardised questionnaires measuring various dimensions. The pre-test and post-test data analysis techniques were analysed using a homogeneity test, a normality test, and a Mann-Whitney test using SPSS version 22, with a significance threshold set at p < 0.05. Finding/Result: The results indicate significant improvements in social behaviour among adolescents who underwent the enhanced physical education, sports, and health program compared to the control group. Conclusion: The findings underscore the importance of integrating comprehensive physical education into high school curricula to foster positive social development among adolescents.

Abstract

While English for medical purposes (EMP) is indispensable for the advancement of global healthcare, empirical investigations into its application within Indonesian medical vocational schools (MVS), which serve as a pivotal contributor to the national labor force, remain limited. In order to address this gap, the present study explores EMP within a strategically selected MVS in the Riau Islands through a mixed-methods research design. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with both administrative personnel (n=2) and educators (n=3), in addition to a perception survey administered to students (n=111). The findings indicate a pronounced disjunction between policy and practice. Despite the institutional strategy emphasizing English as a tool for enhancing employability, operational deficiencies are evident, including an absence of proficiency-based student categorization and an excessive focus on passive, assessment-centered learning. The survey findings further substantiate this observation: while students indicate a degree of skill enhancement, the domain of speaking is perceived as the weakest, which corresponds with classroom observations that predominantly feature monologic presentations rather than interactive dialogues. The study concludes that without a pedagogical transition toward fostering active communication, the strategic objective of cultivating globally competent graduates is risked. Limitations of this research include its reliance on a single-institution sample. Practical implications suggest the necessity for curricular reform that emphasizes authentic, interactive tasks and the establishment of internal proficiency standards. Future research endeavors should investigate the longitudinal effects of such reforms across various MVS environments.

Abstract

This case study examined how English teachers planned and implemented ICT-supported learning activities to achieve the objectives of the Merdeka Curriculum in English Language Teaching. The study involved three advanced English teachers from three senior high schools in Batam, with one teacher representing each school. Participants were selected through purposive sampling based on their experience in implementing the curriculum and integrating digital tools into English instruction. Data were collected through three classroom observations, semi-structured interviews consisting of 33 open-ended questions, and researchers’ field notes. The data were analyzed using the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña, which includes data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing and verification. The findings showed that the teachers used Canva, YouTube, Quizizz, Google Forms, and Microsoft PowerPoint to support communication, collaboration, creativity, engagement, and differentiated instruction. However, ICT implementation remained limited because of unstable internet connections, inadequate classroom facilities, unequal access to digital devices, and insufficient professional training. Consequently, textbook-based instruction remained prominent. These findings reveal a gap between the progressive expectations of the Merdeka Curriculum and classroom realities. Schools should therefore improve digital infrastructure and provide professional development focused on technological, pedagogical, and content knowledge for meaningful and sustainable ICT integration.
