Abstract

This research investigates the difficulties faced by second-semester students of the English Education Program at Universitas Muhammadiyah Sidenreng Rappang in learning English as a Foreign Language (EFL) in offline classroom settings. The research problem focuses on identifying linguistic, psychological, and contextual factors that hinder effective learning. The main objective is to analyze these challenges and provide insights for improving teaching and learning practices. Employing a qualitative descriptive method, data were collected through semi-structured interviews, classroom observations, and documentation from 15 purposively selected students. Data analysis followed Miles and Huberman’s (1994) framework data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing supported by NVivo software for thematic coding. Findings reveal that linguistic difficulties, particularly in listening comprehension, grammar mastery, pronunciation, and vocabulary, are the most dominant obstacles. Psychological barriers such as speaking anxiety, fear of mistakes, and low self-confidence further impede participation. Contextual issues, including noisy classrooms, ineffective teaching methods, and limited speaking practice, exacerbate the problem. Despite these challenges, students suggested interactive teaching strategies, such as games, storytelling, audiovisual aids, and real-life examples, to enhance engagement and comprehension. The research concludes that addressing both cognitive and affective needs through student-centered and communicative approaches, alongside improving classroom management and teaching materials, is essential for fostering a more effective EFL learning environment.

Abstract

Kebakaran Hutan dan Lahan (Karhutla) merupakan bencana alam yang sangat merusak ekosistem, gas-gas hasil pembakaran yang diemisikan ke atmosfer, seperti CO2 dapat menimbulkan pemanasan global serta menimbulkan berbagai penyakit. Jika hal tersebut tidak ditangani dengan baik, lambat laun akan berdampak pada berbagai sektor, baik lingkungan, sosial dan ekonomi. Karhutla yang terjadi di kawasan wisata hutan pinus Malino, Kecamatan Tinggimoncong September 2023 telah menghanguskan 8 hektar lahan, dikarenakan faktor manusia serta didukung oleh kemarau panjang. Sebagai bentuk pengabdian masyarakat, Fakultas Kehutanan Universitas Hasanuddin melaksanakan salah satu program kerja yaitu Kegiatan Sosialisasi Pencegahan dan Pengendalian Karhutla di Desa Malino, Kecamatan Tinggimoncong, Kabupaten Gowa. Pengabdian ini memfokuskan pada upaya untuk meningkatkan kesadaran masyarakat terhadap upaya pencegahan dan pengendalian Karhutla, baik dari kalangan anak-anak, remaja, dewasa, dan orang tua. Metode yang digunakan adalah metode persuasif. Pada kegiatan sosialisasi ini terdapat 4 orang perempuan dan 15 orang laki-laki, namun yang tergabung dalam organisasi Masyarakat Peduli Api (MPA) hanya satu orang saja dan belum pernah ada kegiatan pelatihan pengendalian karhutla di Desa Malino, Kecamatan Tinggimoncong, Kabupaten Gowa serta adanya kegiatan konversi tutupan lahan dari hutan menjadi lahan hortikultura. Hasil pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini diperoleh peningkatan pemahaman peserta mengenai pencegahan dan pengendalian karhutla sebesar 84%. Selain itu, respon positif dan antusias dari masyarakat dalam mengikuti kegiatan sosialisasi hingga selesai merupakan tolak ukur keberhasilan dari kegiatan ini. Diharapkan kegiatan sosialisasi pencegahan dan pengendalian karhutla dapat dilakukan secara berkelanjutan untuk membangun kesadaran dan edukasi kepada masyarakat agar kelestarian kawasan hutan tetap terjaga.

Abstract

Reflection on learning is a vital component of the Teacher Professional Education (PPG) program, particularly in enhancing the competence of novice teachers. At Universitas Muhammadiyah Sidenreng Rappang (UMS Rappang), reflection serves as a mechanism to evaluate and improve teaching practices across pedagogical, professional, social, and personal competencies. This study examines strategies such as daily reflective journals, group discussions, observation and feedback, case studies, and the integration of technology in reflective processes. These strategies aim to develop critical thinking, self-awareness, and innovative teaching approaches among novice teachers. The findings highlight that systematic reflection significantly improves teaching effectiveness, professional development, and student learning outcomes. The structured application of reflective practices empowers novice teachers to become adaptive, professional educators prepared to address the challenges of modern education.

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of the collaborative learning method in enhancing students' motivation to learn English, focusing on seventh-grade students at SMPN 7 SATAP MAIWA. Employing a descriptive qualitative approach, the study explores how collaborative learning techniques influence students’ motivation and evaluates their role in improving the English learning process. The findings indicate that the collaborative learning method has a significant positive impact on students’ motivation. Among the 20 students who participated, 16 (80%) reported increased confidence in using English, opportunities to assist each other in overcoming challenges, and improved problem-solving skills when completing assignments. Group interactions further encouraged students to participate actively in learning activities, making the process more engaging and enjoyable. Collaborative learning also fostered stronger peer relationships and provided a supportive environment where students felt more comfortable expressing their opinions and ideas. The study concludes that the collaborative learning method is an effective strategy for boosting students' motivation in learning English. By working together in groups, students not only gain confidence in communication but also develop essential social and cognitive skills. This method encourages students to be more responsible for their learning while promoting mutual support and cooperation. Therefore, collaborative learning can serve as an alternative approach to improving the quality of English instruction, particularly in encouraging student-centered learning and active participation in the classroom.

Abstract

Speaking skills are a fundamental aspect of learning English as a foreign language, essential for academic and professional success. However, many students, especially in non-English-speaking environments, face difficulties in communication due to limited vocabulary, low confidence, and lack of practical speaking opportunities. This study explores the effectiveness of Project-Based Learning (PBL) in enhancing students’ English-speaking abilities at MTs YMPI Rappang. Using a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through classroom observations, interviews with teachers and students, and an analysis of students’ speaking performance before and after PBL implementation. The results show that PBL significantly improved students’ speaking skills in terms of fluency, pronunciation, grammar, and confidence. Students became more motivated to speak and actively participated in classroom discussions and group projects. The collaborative nature of PBL fostered peer learning and provided students with authentic speaking experiences, enabling them to practice English in real-world contexts. This study highlights the potential of PBL as an effective method for improving speaking skills and recommends its broader application in language teaching to create more engaging and meaningful learning experiences.

Abstract

This study investigates the effectiveness of the Werewolf game in improving the speaking skills of second-semester English Education students at Universitas Muhammadiyah Sidenreng Rappang. Speaking is one of the most essential language skills, yet many students face difficulties in fluency, confidence, and vocabulary usage. Traditional teaching methods often fail to actively engage students in meaningful communication. Therefore, implementing game-based learning, such as the Werewolf game, offers an interactive and enjoyable approach to language learning. This research employed a one-group pre-test and post-test pre-experimental design involving seven students. Participants engaged in structured speaking activities before and after the intervention. Data were analyzed using SPSS, revealing a significant improvement in students' speaking performance. The mean score increased from 54% to 83%, with a p-value of 0.006 (< 0.05), indicating a statistically significant impact. These findings suggest that incorporating the Werewolf game into speaking lessons can effectively enhance students’ participation, motivation, and confidence in expressing their ideas in English. The Werewolf game promotes real-time interaction, critical thinking, and spontaneous speech, which are crucial for developing communicative competence. By encouraging students to articulate their thoughts, respond to others, and negotiate meaning in a dynamic setting, the game fosters a more engaging and less anxiety-inducing environment compared to conventional methods.
