Abstract

The demand for formal English proficiency both in academic and professional environments highlights the critical role of Standard English Grammar in building effective communication and professional identity. This study investigates how EFL students in a university’s English Language Education Study Program perceive the importance of standard grammar in professional contexts. Employing a descriptive qualitative approach, data were collected from first-semester undergraduate EFL students (N=40) through a structured questionnaire and semi-structured interviews. The questionnaire combined Likert-scale items with open-ended questions, while the interviews provided deeper insights into students’ experiences and expectations regarding the teaching of grammar in their classroom. Findings show that the majority of students recognize standard grammar as essential for maintaining credibility and professionalism, especially in tasks such as academic writing, formal email correspondence, job interviews, and public speaking. However, a significant gap exists between students’ awareness of the importance of grammatical aspect and their ability to apply it effectively in real-world contexts. The analysis also identifies students’ concerns about the de-contextualized nature of grammar instruction and their preference for contextual, task-based learning approaches that simulate professional communication. The study underscores the need to align Grammar curricula with professional demands by embedding grammar instruction into authentic learning materials. These findings have implications for the development of EFL curriculum, emphasizing the integration of grammatical competence with professional literacy. By rethinking the grammar instruction through a contextualized lens, educators are expected to support students in constructing confident professional identities.

Abstract

This community service program aims to enhance elementary school teachers' technology literacy through training in artificial intelligence (AI) and deep learning technologies, conducted within the Teacher Working Group (KKG) Cluster 02, Rambipuji District, Jember Regency. The activities were carried out using a Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach, consisting of planning, action implementation, reflection, and evaluation stages. Evaluation results showed a significant improvement in participants' knowledge scores, with the average increasing from 51.1 (pre-test) to 81.8 (post-test). Participant engagement was also high, with over 85% of teachers attending all sessions and actively participating in discussions and hands-on practices. Classroom implementation reflections indicated that 80% of the teachers successfully attempted to create digital-based teaching media, although most still required further assistance. These outcomes demonstrate that the PAR approach, supported by practical modules and contextual mentoring, is effective in improving elementary school teachers’ technology literacy, while also promoting creative and adaptive learning in the digital era. This program can be recommended as a teacher empowerment model that is replicable in other regions with appropriate local contextual adjustments.

Abstract

Previous studies on the assessment of academic speaking skills in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) context have predominantly emphasized fluency and accuracy as key performance criteria, yet limited attention has been given to empirically examining their suitability as indicators of overall academic speaking proficiency, particularly at the university level. Addressing this gap, the present study aims to investigate the extent to which fluency and accuracy function as key indicators in assessing university-level EFL students’ academic speaking proficiency. A quantitative research method with a correlational design was employed, involving 60 students enrolled in an Academic Speaking course who were selected using purposive sampling. Data were collected through recordings of academic presentation tasks and analyzed using an assessment rubric based on the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR). The results revealed a significant positive correlation between levels of fluency and accuracy and overall academic speaking proficiency scores. These findings provide empirical evidence of the suitability of fluency and accuracy as indicators in academic speaking assessment. The study highlights the importance of integrating assessment rubrics that place greater emphasis on fluency and accuracy in the teaching and evaluation of academic speaking skills.

Abstract

The dynamic application of digital learning platforms, including innovative systems like Wayground, has significantly transformed the administration of English language tests such as the English Proficiency Test (EPT). As technology becomes increasingly integrated into educational environments, digital assessment tools are no longer optional but essential for supporting efficient and standardized testing practices. This study explores students’ perceptions of Wayground, a next-generation online platform used to conduct the EPT at Politeknik Negeri Jember. Using a quantitative approach, data were gathered from 217 students across nine departments through structured questionnaires. The results indicate that most respondents appreciate Wayground for its practicality, efficiency, and engaging user interface. Although some minor technical challenges were identified, the majority of participants expressed satisfaction with both the platform’s features and its exam supervision services. Overall, Wayground is viewed as a reliable, accessible, and user-friendly platform with strong potential to enhance digital transformation in English language assessment.  The future implementations of the English Proficiency Test should continue leveraging digital platforms like Wayground while simultaneously refining test content difficulty and strengthening technical and support infrastructures to ensure a more balanced, reliable, and equitable assessment experience for all participants.
