Abstract

In higher education, cultivating effective speaking skills is crucial for preparing students to succeed in today's dynamic and interconnected world. Traditional teaching methods often fall short of engaging students and promoting active learning. This research explores the potential of interactive video as an innovative teaching medium to enhance speaking skills while incorporating the 4Cs - Communication, Collaboration, Critical Thinking, and Creativity - into the learning process. The results indicate that interactive videos significantly impact students' speaking proficiency, as evidenced by improved pre-and post-assessment scores. Moreover, students reported enhanced engagement and motivation during the learning process, attributing it to the dynamic nature of interactive video content, which leverages multimedia elements, real-life scenarios, and interactive exercises. The results indicate that interactive videos significantly impact students' speaking proficiency, as evidenced by improved pre and post-assessment scores. Moreover, students reported enhanced engagement and motivation during the learning process, attributing it to the dynamic nature of interactive video content, which leverages multimedia elements, real-life scenarios, and interactive exercises. Furthermore, incorporating the 4Cs into interactive video design demonstrated transformative effects on students' speaking skills. Integrating collaborative activities fostered teamwork and communication among students, while critical thinking was stimulated through decision-making scenarios embedded within the videos. Additionally, the creative aspect of the interactive videos encouraged students to express their ideas and opinions more freely, ultimately boosting their confidence in public speaking. The findings of this research contribute to the growing body of knowledge on innovative teaching practices and the role of technology in higher education.

Abstract

This study investigates the effectiveness of Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools in enhancing digital content creation within project-based learning (PBL). Conducted at the Department of English Language and Literature, specifically the English Education Study Program, Faculty of Languages and Arts, Universitas Negeri Medan, the research focuses on students enrolled in the Digital Education Content Creator subject. The objective of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in enhancing the quality of educational video content compared to conventional methods within a project-based learning framework. The research used a randomized sampling method, involving 80 students divided into two groups: an experimental group of 40 students using AI tools and a control group of 40 students relying on traditional approaches. Both groups created videos assessed based on six key criteria: content quality and relevance, clarity and structure, engagement, technical quality, duration and tempo, and accessibility and usability. The results show that the experimental group achieved significantly higher post-test scores, with an average of 3.8 compared to 2.64 in the control group. Hypothesis testing also supports these findings, with a t-test result exceeding the critical value. The findings confirm that AI tools significantly improve content quality, enabling students to produce more relevant, accessible, and technically refined digital content within a PBL framework. Future research should address AI's long-term effectiveness in different subject areas, accessibility challenges, and ethical concerns in education.

Abstract

Digital tools have become increasingly popular in enhancing student engagement and accessibility, particularly in the context of English Language Teaching (ELT). This study explores the effectiveness of Heyzine digital flipbooks in improving engagement and accessibility for diverse learners in the Technology in ELT course at Universitas Negeri Medan. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, data were collected through classroom observations, lecturer interviews, focus group discussions (FGDs), surveys, and questionnaires. The findings show that digital flipbooks significantly enhance student engagement, with multimedia elements like videos, animations, and quizzes catering to different learning styles. Accessibility features, such difficulties accessing content in digital flipbooks and accessibility in mind for students with different needs, were particularly beneficial for students with learning disabilities. However, technical challenges such as slow loading times and navigation difficulties were noted, alongside concerns regarding accessibility design for students with visual, auditory, and learning disabilities. Despite these issues, 75% of students reported never feeling disengaged, and 95% of students found the interactive features most engaging. The study concludes that while digital flipbooks have great potential to foster engagement and improve learning outcomes, ongoing improvements in usability and accessibility are necessary to fully support diverse learners.

Abstract

The political statements of prospective presidential candidates in the Republic of Indonesia (RI) in the pre-election period of 2024, in 2023, constitute texts of political contestation (PC) loaded with ideology. This research examines those PC texts. The texts are based on the respective ideologies of each presidential candidate. More specifically, this study investigates the ideologies of the presidential candidates, the linguistic realization used to express those ideologies, and the reasons behind the use of ideology and its linguistic realization. This research employs a qualitative descriptive design. Data collection tools included observation, document analysis, and interviews. The data sources were KP texts from three presidential candidates: Anies Rasyid Baswedan, Ganjar Pranowo, and Prabowo Subianto, obtained from newspapers, television, and social media platforms such as WhatsApp, Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook. The data, in the form of KP texts, were analyzed using the framework of systemic functional linguistic theory (SFL) as developed by Halliday (2014) and other SFL experts. The research findings indicate that, in addition to similarities, the three presidential candidates have differences in leadership ideology, the linguistic realization of that ideology, and the causes or reasons used. The theoretical contribution of this research enriches applied linguistic theories, especially political discourse analysis (PDA), and simultaneously benefits voters in the 2024 election by helping them understand the ideologies of presidential candidates. This understanding can solidify their decision to vote for a specific candidate, thus reducing the social friction that always occurs during elections in Indonesia.
