Abstract

In the momentum of the 2035 Demographic Bonus and the vision of Golden Indonesia 2045, there are both challenges and great opportunities for Indonesia's education system, where students are required to have soft skills, character, and critical thinking abilities. To realize this, Practitioner Lectures serve as a tangible form of practice in building teaching competence by connecting theory with direct experience from the professional or working world. This article describes the implementation of a national webinar titled “Practical Lecture: Building Teaching Competence Through Real Practice,” organized by the English Education Study Program, West Sulawesi University. This Practitioner Lecture aims to train students to become class leaders and to carry out best teaching practices using the STAR Method (Situation, Task, Action, Result). The activity was held online via the Zoom Meeting platform on August 13, 2025, featuring experienced speakers in the field of education. A total of 69 participants attended and stayed until the end of the event. The event evaluation was conducted through an online form, covering satisfaction with the material, presenters’ delivery, and relevance to participants’ academic needs. Evaluation results proved that the implementation of the practitioner lecture in building teaching competence was very successful, with the majority of participants stating a combination of engaging and easy-to-understand material, good and interactive delivery, as well as opportunities to gain valuable insights and real experience for the development of teaching skills and the professional growth of future teachers. Through this training, participants will gain a deep understanding of teaching techniques that not only emphasize material delivery but also classroom management and increasing student engagement. The expected outcome is the creation of class leaders capable of managing learning more effectively and inspiringly, supporting the achievement of optimal educational goals.

Abstract

This research aims to find out the improvement of the 1st-grade students’ narrative writing by using digital storytelling and how they perceive that. The researchers used a quasi-experimental design to conduct this research. The population was 93 students and the sample elected was 15 students for both experiment and control classes. Test and questionnaire were employed to address the research questions. The data analysis was conducted using SPSS 25. The findings revealed that students’ narrative writing improved after digital storytelling was integrated into the lessons. The independent sample test showed that sig. 2 tailed < 0.05. Consequently, the alternative hypothesis was accepted, indicating a significant difference in narrative writing between students taught with digital storytelling and those taught without using digital storytelling. Moreover, the n-gain score result showed that the mean score of the experiment class was 62.09 included in the effective enough category. Therefore, it can be concluded that the use of digital storytelling is effective enough in enhancing the narrative writing of the 1st-grade students of MAN 2 Polman. Furthermore, the data from the questionnaire showed that the students had positive perceptions of using digital storytelling in classroom activities.

Abstract

This study investigates the correlation between self-awareness and English-speaking ability among second-grade students at SMAN 3 Majene, Indonesia. Employing a quantitative correlational design, the research examined 17 students selected through cluster random sampling from a population of 51. Data were collected using a self-awareness questionnaire assessing emotional awareness, self-assessment, and self-confidence, alongside a speaking ability test. Results revealed high levels of self-awareness among participants, with most reaching the "permanent" level, indicating strong self-reflection capabilities. Speaking abilities were predominantly rated as "good." However, statistical analysis showed a weak correlation between self-awareness and speaking ability, challenging the assumption of a direct link between these variables. This finding suggests that while self-awareness may contribute to internal motivation, it does not automatically translate to enhanced speaking performance in this EFL context. The study highlights the need for comprehensive pedagogical strategies that complement self-awareness development with targeted language instruction to improve EFL speaking skills effectively.

Abstract

This study explores the effectiveness of using English song lyrics from TikTok as a medium to improve students’ pronunciation skills. Employing a quasi-experimental design, the research involved 38 eighth-grade students at SMP Negeri Limboro in the 2024/2025 academic year. Participants were divided into two groups: an experimental group received instruction using selected TikTok English song lyrics, while the control group was taught using conventional methods. Data were collected through pre-tests, post-tests, and student questionnaires. Statistical analysis using SPSS showed a significant improvement in the pronunciation scores of the experimental group compared to the control group. The mean N-Gain score of 58.4% indicates a moderate level of effectiveness. Furthermore, students’ responses to the questionnaire demonstrated positive perceptions toward the use of English songs on TikTok as a learning tool. The findings suggest that integrating digital media, particularly short-form social platforms like TikTok, can enhance pronunciation instruction and motivate learners. This study contributes to the growing field of digital-assisted language learning and provides insights for teachers seeking innovative methods to support pronunciation development in EFL classrooms.

Abstract

Reading comprehension remains a persistent challenge in Indonesian EFL classrooms, where conventional instruction frequently fails to sustain meaningful student engagement with written texts. This study examined the effectiveness of Prezi, a web-based, zoomable presentation platform, as a digital teaching medium for improving eighth-grade students' reading comprehension, and explored student perceptions toward its use. A quasi-experimental design with a non-equivalent control group was employed, involving 48 students from two intact classes at SMP Negeri Mapilli, West Sulawesi, assigned to either Prezi-based instruction or conventional teaching across four treatment sessions. Data were collected through pre- and post-tests measuring literal, inferential, and critical reading comprehension, and a validated 14-item Likert-scale perception questionnaire. An independent sample t-test revealed a statistically significant between-group difference (t(46) = 6.311, p = .000), with the experimental group achieving a mean post-test score of 75.83 compared to 57.71 in the control group. The N-Gain score of 60.66% indicated sufficiently effective learning gains attributable to Prezi-based instruction. Student perceptions were strongly positive, yielding an overall score of 81.07%, classified as Very Successful. These findings suggest that Prezi holds meaningful pedagogical value as an engaging multimodal medium for EFL reading instruction in Indonesian junior high school contexts.

Abstract

Teaching media serve as one of the tools or methods used in the teaching and learning process. They function not only as aids for teachers in delivering material but also as means to enhance students’ active engagement, accommodate diverse learning styles, and create an enjoyable and interactive learning environment. Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology has developed rapidly and is increasingly being applied in the field of education, including in the development of instructional media. The purpose of this activity is to improve teachers’ competence in developing instructional media by utilizing AI technology. The method used was a participatory approach, aimed at enabling partners to be actively involved in every stage of the activity through training sessions and hands-on practice in developing AI-based teaching materials. The program facilitated practical sessions for creating instructional media, along with mentoring and technical guidance to help participants refine and further develop their teaching materials. Teachers’ competence in developing AI-based instructional materials was measured using a Likert scale (1–5) survey administered before and after the training. The results showed a significant improvement in teachers’ competence, with the percentage of those who “understood” increasing from 40% to 93.33% in the “highly understood” category. This represents a 53.33% increase in teacher competence, indicating that teachers have developed strong skills in utilizing AI-based instructional media and have gained greater awareness of the importance of enhancing their technological competence to improve the quality of learning.
