Abstract

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic disease with a steadily increasing global prevalence and is among the leading causes of morbidity and mortality, including in Indonesia. This condition creates a major health and economic burden, particularly for individuals with low to middle socioeconomic status, as it is often detected late and inadequately treated. Limited public awareness of early symptoms, modifiable risk factors, and preventive measures is a key factor contributing to delayed diagnosis and the risk of serious complications in the future. This community service program was carried out at Ngasem Community Health Center, Kediri Regency, and involved 25 participants with a history of DM. The primary objective was to enhance community knowledge and awareness regarding DM through health education using a participatory approach. Knowledge levels were assessed before and after the intervention to evaluate the effectiveness of the educational activity. The results indicated a clear improvement in participants’ understanding of the early symptoms of DM, associated risk factors, and preventive strategies. This suggests that participatory health education is an effective approach to improving public knowledge and encouraging proactive health behavior. Sustained and systematic educational interventions are therefore essential to support the prevention and control of DM at the community level.

Abstract

The present research explores primary school teachers’ perceptions of the possibility of integrating indigenous content in English instruction in Indonesia. The current curriculum, Kurikulum Merdeka, allows teachers to develop materials related to essential content. With that image in mind, this research tried to shed light on the opportunities and challenges of incorporating indigenous content, such as local folktales, songs, games, and traditions, to develop English materials. The research employs a qualitative research method. The participants were five teachers from different subdistricts in Kudus, Central Java, Indonesia. They were purposively selected and voluntarily participated in the research. A focus group discussion was carried out to gain the teachers’ insights. The questions address three main points: the objectives of English teaching in primary schools, the incorporation of indigenous content into English materials, and the challenges faced when integrating this content into those materials. The triangulation was conducted by collecting the teachers’ written responses on the same topic with more detailed questions. Thematic analysis was used to analyse the data. The research findings reveal that teachers have a positive view of the inclusion of indigenous content in English instruction, as it is relevant to students’ real-life contexts. The challenges that might emerge are limited resources, insufficient training, and lack of experts and authority.  support. Practically, teachers can introduce indigenous content into the teaching materials. In wider contexts, curriculum designers are recommended to consider addressing indigenous content in the English curriculum for primary school students.

Abstract

This study explores teachers’ perspectives on the implementation of Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) in science and math classrooms at SD Al Azhar Pati, a primary school in Indonesia. While CLIL is acknowledged as a bilingual instructional strategy that enhances both language and subject knowledge, limited research has explored its implementation in non-international, resource-limited school contexts. Using a qualitative case study approach, data were collected from five teachers through structured questionnaires and semi-structured interviews via WhatsApp. Findings reveal that teachers view CLIL as effective for fostering academic vocabulary and meaningful learning. However, challenges such as language barriers, limited materials, and varied student engagement persist. Teachers employed bilingual strategies, interactive activities, and collaboration with English teachers to overcome these challenges. This study underscores the need for professional development and localized resources to strengthen CLIL practices in similar settings.

Abstract

In higher education, critical thinking skills are essential for students to develop their ability to explore problems, questions, or situations, find a solution, and justify their positions. Such skills can be cultivated through sustained, authentic dialogue with peers or in groups. To provide a supportive environment for dialogue and interaction among students, a book club was utilized as an alternative and extension activity of Extensive Reading course within the English Education Study Program at a private university in Indonesia. The book club enables students to connect with others, expressing and exchanging ideas and thoughts, thereby sharpening their critical thinking skills. This mixed-method study investigated the students’ reading and critical thinking skills after participating in the book club, the effectiveness of book club in developing these skills, and the ways in which the book club fostered critical thinking skills. Twenty-three freshmen from one class participated in the study. The instruments used were a reading test, a survey of critical thinking skills, and students’ work. The reading test and critical thinking survey were administered sequentially after the treatment, while students’ work was qualitatively analyzed. The findings reveal that book club is effective in developing student’s critical thinking skills, particularly in terms of creating alternative t endings to a given story.

Abstract

This study provides a qualitative analysis of a casual talk between two male postgraduate EFL students, who are Indonesian, Javanese, and English-speaking close friends. The conversation, conducted spontaneously without prior planning, consists of 203 turns and forms 23 conversational story sequences. The findings highlight key aspects of casual conversation, including structural, interactive, and interpersonal features. Structurally, the dialogue follows adjacency pairs and the IRF (Initiate-Respond-Follow-up) pattern. Spontaneity is evident in filled pauses, repetitions, false starts, backtracking, incomplete utterances, and frequent use of conjunctions and fixed expressions. Interactivity is demonstrated through turn-taking, respectful silence, occasional interruptions, and discourse markers, with communication strategies employed to prevent breakdowns. Interpersonal engagement is reflected in the use of laughter and chuckles, fostering group solidarity. Coherence emerges through cooperative exchanges, where speakers provide relevant responses and comments. Additionally, negotiation occurs in both interpersonal exchanges and logical-semantic adjustments to maintain clarity and understanding. These findings suggest that the conversation builds engagement through laughter, coherence through cooperation, and clarity through negotiation, maintaining structured storytelling despite its casual tone. However, a key limitation of this study is its reliance on audio recordings, which excludes the analysis of gestures and facial expressions. Further investigation into diverse conversational contexts, participant relationships, and cultural influences could provide deeper insights into the dynamics of casual interactions

Abstract

This research assessed how digital storytelling (DST) could enhance the junior high school students' oral proficiency skills in speaking the English language in the context of Islamic schooling in Indonesia. The research deployed a quasi – experimental design within the context of an Islamic school setting. The sample consisted of 64 students. 31 students comprised the experimental class who received instruction through the use of DST while 33 students made the control class who were taught using traditional instructional techniques. The data was collected through administered tests which assessed the students' speaking through various parameters. To understand the progress of the student's scores within the two groups the Wilcoxon signed-rank test was utilized. It was found out that all of the students improved in their speaking skills but the experimental group had higher scores. This shows DST has a high positive effect on students’ oral performance. DST gave positive impact on student's enthusiasm, teamwork and confidence in using the language was also noted. The students’ level of DST speaking discipline was high which suggests the technique is useful. The implications of this study point towards DST to strengthen the students’ motivation, performance and speaking competency.
