Abstract

Integrating sustainable education into English as a Foreign Language (EFL) has become increasingly important in response to global environmental challenges. This study evaluates the effectiveness of a localised Green ELT curriculum developed and implemented at a private Christian university in Tomohon, Indonesia. Guided by a Design-Based Research (DBR) methodology, the curriculum was designed to integrate ecological content with Christian values and English language learning objectives. The study involved 50 purposively selected EFL students and was conducted over three months (March–May 2025) through three phases: curriculum design, classroom implementation, and evaluation. Data were collected using pre- and post-questionnaires, classroom observations, and Focus Group Discussions (FGDs). Quantitative data were analysed with paired t-tests, while qualitative data were thematically analysed. The findings revealed statistically significant improvements in both environmental awareness (t = -13.62, p < 0.001) and motivation to learn English (t = -6.60, p < 0.001). Qualitative insights further confirmed that faith-based discussions and contextualised activities deepened student engagement, linking language learning to sustainability issues. These results demonstrate that Green ELT can foster linguistic skills while enhancing students’ sense of environmental responsibility when localised and aligned with cultural and religious values. The study highlights the potential of Green ELT in faith-based contexts and recommends further adaptation across diverse educational settings to promote sustainable language education.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the economic losses suffered by online motorcycle taxi drivers in Tomohon City due to account cloning, a growing form of digital exploitation in Indonesia’s gig economy. The research examines financial, operational, and psychological impacts, evaluates platform security measures, and assesses the erosion of consumer trust. A mixed-methods approach was employed, combining quantitative surveys with 50 drivers and qualitative in-depth interviews with drivers, customers, and platform representatives. Data were collected through structured questionnaires, participatory observation, and thematic analysis. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics to measure income decline and additional costs, while qualitative data were interpreted through thematic content analysis to understand lived experiences and systemic vulnerabilities.Findings reveal that 44% of income reduction is directly linked to account-related disruptions, with affected drivers losing between IDR 500,000 and 1,000,000. Additional recovery costs further strain their financial stability. Psychologically, 76% reported moderate to high anxiety, and 64% stated that the threat of cloning negatively affects work motivation. Consumer trust is compromised, as 80% of drivers acknowledge reputational damage due to service inconsistencies caused by cloned accounts. Despite high awareness of cloning (82%), only 40% implement preventive measures, and 70% perceive platform responses as inadequate. The discussion highlights that account cloning is a systemic issue rooted in weak platform governance and low digital literacy. The absence of compensation mechanisms exacerbates worker vulnerability. This study recommends mandatory implementation of advanced security protocols, integrated digital literacy programs, and a formal gig worker protection framework including rapid reporting and financial compensation. These measures are essential for building a fairer and more sustainable digital transportation ecosystem.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the income and welfare of anchovy pond farmers in Desa Kumu and Rap-Rap, Minahasa, within the framework of blue economy sustainability.. A quantitative approach with an explanatory descriptive design was employed, combining structured interviews, a validated questionnaire, and direct field observations. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and multiple linear regression, with classical assumption tests (normality, multicollinearity, heteroscedasticity) conducted to ensure model validity. The results show that the average net daily income for pond farmers ranges from IDR 100,000 to IDR 135,000, which is sufficient for household needs but subject to fluctuations due to market prices and environmental conditions. The regression model (R² = 0.76, F = 18.24, p < 0.01) reveals that direct market access (β = 0.55, p = 0.000) and working capital (β = 0.42, p = 0.002) have a significant positive impact on income, while operational costs have a significant negative effect (β = -0.38, p = 0.005). In contrast, the use of environmentally friendly technology does not show a significant influence (p = 0.162), primarily due to limited adoption. Most farmers rely on personal savings for capital and sell their produce through local collectors at non-negotiable prices. Although 80% have heard of the blue economy, practical understanding and implementation remain low, hindered by high equipment costs and lack of training. The discussion highlights that economic empowerment, particularly through improved market access and financial support, is more critical for immediate welfare improvement than environmental technology adoption. The findings extend previous research by integrating socio-economic and sustainability factors into a single analytical model. Based on these results, it is recommended that local authorities facilitate the establishment of marketing cooperatives, provide microfinance programs, and deliver targeted training on eco-friendly aquaculture practices to enhance both income and environmental sustainability.

Abstract

This study examines the economic and social determinants of welfare among Abaca fiber-based micro, small, and medium enterprise (MSME) actors in the Talaud Islands Regency in Indonesia. Despite the global recognition of abaca fiber for its durability and sustainability (used in currency notes, luxury automotive interiors, and marine ropes), local producers continue to experience severe welfare challenges. Employing a mixed-methods approach with a sequential explanatory design, data were collected through a structured survey of 30 entrepreneurs and in-depth interviews supported by field observations and focus group discussions. Findings reveal a significant decline in abaca enterprises, particularly in Essang, where 87% of respondents classify their business as “declining” or “newly initiated.” The average monthly income from this activity ranges between IDR 40,000 and IDR 60,000, deemed insufficient by 93% of the respondents to meet basic household needs. Income instability, driven by fluctuating demand and exploitative pricing by intermediaries, has reduced enterprises to marginal, non-primary livelihoods. Structural fragmentation of the value chain, absence of formal market access, and lack of postharvest support following initial government incentives have further weakened sustainability. While 77% of producers involve family or neighbors in production, indicating latent social capital, collaboration among artisans remains minimal, with 60% reporting rare or competitive interactions. Although 87% expressed a strong interest in training and institutional support, only 13% received direct financial assistance. The study concludes that the persistence of poverty among abaca producers is not due to commodity value but to systemic inequities in market access, institutional neglect, and policy discontinuity. Strategic interventions, such as collective marketing institutions, digital promotion, technological training, and inclusive partnerships, are recommended to transform abaca MSMEs into a sustainable and empowering sector.

Abstract

This study aimed to examine the potential of integrating local etiquette values into the education system as a strategy to enhance students’ psychological resilience and prevent suicide, particularly in remote regions such as the Talaud Islands Regency. With rising suicide rates and limited access to professional mental health services, there is a pressing need for alternative, culturally grounded, and contextually relevant approaches. A mixed-methods research design was employed, combining qualitative analysis through in-depth interviews, focus group discussions, and participatory observation involving teachers, students, parents, and community leaders in Gemeh District, along with quantitative analysis using culturally adapted instruments including resilience scales and psychological assessments. The findings indicate that local etiquette values, such as respect for privacy, social responsibility, and interpersonal boundaries, play a significant role in fostering a supportive environment and reducing psychosocial stress, especially for students with intellectual limitations. The internalization of these values has been shown to enhance feelings of safety, social acceptance, and self-regulation, which are key components in building psychological resilience. Based on these results, it is recommended that local etiquette values be systematically incorporated into local content curricula and school counseling programs. Training teachers and counselors in culture-based inclusive education, collaborating with traditional leaders, and dedicated budget allocation by local authorities are essential for ensuring the sustainability of such interventions. This approach holds promise as a community-based mental health model that can be adapted and replicated in other island regions that face similar challenges.

Abstract

This study proposes a transformative economic innovation education model to strengthen the economic resilience of fishing communities in the Talaud Islands, Indonesia, where livelihoods are highly vulnerable to climate variability and market instability. Given the absence of established diversification initiatives, a participatory multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) approach was adopted to identify and prioritize feasible product alternatives. The research was conducted in Gemeh District using a mixed-methods design, integrating qualitative insights with quantitative analysis. Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) involving 25 fishermen and five community representatives were conducted to identify eight potential diversification options based on local resource availability and cultural relevance. Subsequently, a decision matrix was constructed using data from 20 active fishermen who evaluated alternatives across seven criteria: initial capital, skill level, weather resilience, income potential, market access, community support, and environmental sustainability. The ANP-EWM-TOPSIS hybrid method was applied to generate a balanced weighting system, combining subjective judgments (via ANP) and objective data variation (via EWM) before the final ranking. Wall décor from marine materials emerged as the top-ranked alternative (CC = 0.817), followed by fermented fish sauce (CC = 0.761), and seaweed farming (CC = 0.739), due to low capital requirements, high weather resilience, and strong community alignment. In contrast, floating net cage aquaculture ranked lowest owing to its high risk and climate vulnerability. These findings demonstrate that land-based, culture-rooted, and waste-utilizing activities offer the most viable pathways for adaptive livelihoods. They concluded that economic resilience can be enhanced through education models that integrate local knowledge, participatory decision-making, and sustainable value addition. This study provides a replicable framework for empowering remote coastal communities in Indonesia and other archipelagic regions.

Abstract

This study explores the revitalization of Wara’ dance in the Talaud Islands Regency through a holistic linguistic approach, aiming to transform it into a dynamic cultural tourism product and a driver of the local creative economy. For over three decades, Wara’ dance has experienced stagnation, perceived as outdated and disconnected from contemporary audiences, leading to declining community participation and diminished economic returns. To address this, the research employs a qualitative method with holistic discourse analysis, integrating linguistic, anthropological, and cultural studies perspectives. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, focus group discussions, participatory observation, and analysis of archival and linguistic materials in Arangkaa Village, the historical site of King Larenggam’s resistance. The findings reveal that the dance’s verbal elements are minimal, relying on a few ritual phrases. However, rich cultural meanings are embedded in local language, toponyms like “Arangkaa” (meaning “charcoal”), and customary utterances from rituals such as Manaroho Raho. These elements were systematically analyzed and reinterpreted to innovate choreography, costumes, music, and narrative structure. A new thematic concept, “From Resistance to Revival,” was developed, enhancing the dance’s storytelling capacity and emotional depth. Community participation was central, ensuring cultural authenticity and social acceptance of the changes. The study concludes that a linguistically grounded, participatory approach enables meaningful revitalization, transforming Wara’ dance from a static tradition into a living, relevant art form. Furthermore, the proposed cultural tourism package demonstrates significant potential for generating sustainable income for performers and the local community, positioning the dance as a catalyst for both cultural preservation and economic empowerment in a remote island region.

Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools are increasingly integrated into education, offering innovative solutions to enhance learning, particularly in language acquisition. In grammar instruction, tools like Grammarly and ChatGPT provide real-time feedback, error correction, and personalized learning experiences. This study investigates the impact of these AI-assisted learning tools on grammar proficiency among students from diverse academic programs in two higher education institutions in Indonesia. A quasi-experimental design was employed, comparing pre-test and post-test grammar scores to evaluate the effectiveness of these tools. A total of 150 students participated, representing programs such as Nursing, Pharmacy, Health Administration, Economics Education, and English Education. The findings revealed significant improvements in grammar scores, particularly among students in non-language-focused programs, with an average increase of 15%. Students in the English Education program showed smaller gains (5%), attributed to their higher baseline proficiency. While the results demonstrate the potential of AI tools in enhancing grammar accuracy, concerns were raised about over-reliance on technology and the need for transparent integration in educational contexts. The absence of qualitative insights and long-term retention data are acknowledged as limitations. This study highlights the importance of using AI as a supplementary resource to support meaningful grammar learning, especially for students with limited exposure to formal language instruction.

Abstract

Pragmatic competence—the ability to use language appropriately in social contexts—is essential for effective EFL communication but often underemphasized in teacher education. This study examines the impact of speech act-based instruction on developing pre-service English teachers’ pragmatic competence. Participants included 20 second-year students enrolled in the English Education program at Universitas Kristen Indonesia Tomohon. Over four weeks, they attended two 90-minute instructional sessions per week, integrating explicit instruction, role-plays, discourse analysis, and reflective discussions. Multiple instruments were employed: a 30-item pragmatic competence test (combining situational multiple-choice and open-ended tasks), classroom observations, and post-instruction interviews. Quantitative results revealed statistically significant improvements across all levels of speech acts: locutionary (M = 0.437 to 0.5665, p < .001), illocutionary (M = 0.535 to 0.6105, p < .001), and perlocutionary (M = 0.5295 to 0.5565, p < .001). Qualitative findings highlighted increased pragmatic awareness, communicative confidence, and in-class adaptability. However, participants still faced challenges in transferring theoretical knowledge into spontaneous speech, suggesting the need for extended, contextualized instruction. These findings affirm the value of structured pragmatic instruction in EFL teacher training, equipping future educators to model and foster linguistic accuracy and sociocultural fluency in global communication.

Abstract

This research aims to find out the lingual forms and cultural meanings that appear in place naming and is studied based on the formation process, use, characteristics, and also the history of the Tontemboan language form, the local language spoken in Ranoyapo sub-district which is used as the research location. Place naming refers to the study of anthropological linguistics, which studies language and history. This research is qualitative and uses a descriptive approach. In the field of linguistics, this method is used by researchers to find out about many things related to society through language and its terminology. In collecting the data, the researcher used the method of simak and cakap from Mahsun (2007), with the aim of collecting data in the form of lingual forms and the phenomenon of naming places that appear in an utterance. Meanwhile, the commensurate and distributional methods were used to analyse the lingual form data to its smallest level. Based on the results of the research, root words dominate place naming besides being caused by affixation, reduplication, and composition. For example: Danda' [dandaɂ] 'name of the creek', Sukuyon [sukuyon] 'name of the creek', Kayong [kayoŋ] 'name of the creek', Sasano [sasano] 'name of the creek', Gawayas [gawayas] 'guava tree', Pahlawan [hero] 'hero', pa'boseng [paɂboseŋ] 'name of the creek', Ma'tenem [maɂtenəm] 'drying'. Land names with the lingual forms above are location identities in which there are aspects of domination such as water, plants, people, land, objects, stones, and animals.
