Abstract

Writing argumentative essay poses a significant challenge for English students, who often struggle with expressing opinions, organizing ideas logically, and using appropriate language structures. Despite the importance of assessing writing skills at early stages, few reliable instruments exist that are specifically designed to evaluate argumentative essay. This study aims to develop a valid and reliable analytic rubric to assess students’ argumentative essay skills, focusing on six key components: clarity of thesis, organization and coherence, supporting evidence, argument development, language use, and vocabulary range. The research employed a design-based development approach, incorporating literature review, expert validation, and empirical testing. Content validity was established through expert judgment (S-CVI = 0.95), and the instrument was pilot-tested with 85 English students. Statistical analyses demonstrated high inter-rater reliability (ICC = 0.87) and strong internal consistency (Cronbach’s α = 0.89). Descriptive data revealed that while English students showed emerging abilities in thesis clarity and grammar, they struggled with supporting arguments and maintaining logical flow. The resulting rubric serves both as an assessment and instructional tool, helping educators diagnose English student needs and promote writing development. Unlike general-purpose rubrics or those designed for advanced English students, this rubric is specifically aligned with the challenges of early-stage academic writers. The study contributes to closing a gap in writing assessment tools and provides a practical resource for use in EFL classrooms

Abstract

This study explores the pivotal role of common sense in English Language Teaching (ELT), particularly in addressing the limitations of textbook-based instruction. While textbooks offer a structured foundation, they often lack the adaptability needed to meet the diverse needs, interests, and learning styles of students. Using a systematic and thematic literature review, this research examines how teachers’ practical judgment—rooted in experience, intuition, and contextual awareness—enhances lesson planning, classroom management, instructional strategies, and assessment. Findings reveal that common sense allows teachers to personalize learning, respond flexibly to challenges, and foster inclusive and dynamic classroom environments. Real-world case studies further demonstrate how teachers apply common sense to support student engagement, autonomy, creativity, and resilience. However, the study also acknowledges that common sense is inherently subjective and must be balanced with sound pedagogical principles. The research calls for the integration of common sense into teacher education and professional development as a vital pedagogical resource, emphasizing reflective practice and teacher agency. Ultimately, effective ELT requires not only theoretical knowledge but also the wisdom to apply it meaningfully in diverse classroom contexts.

Abstract

This paper explained how the da'wah digitization which in this era was a major challenge that must be faced by plural netizens in Indonesia. To strengthen social harmony in religion, it was needed culture-based da'wah digitization, especially moderate da'wah to create netizens that would be able to interact well with one another on the internet. Social-religious harmony in cyberspace needed to be strengthened because with a strong social harmony in religion on plural netizens, the harmony of life between religious people or religious communities will be achieved and survived on the plural netizens in particular. The existence of supporting factors and inhibiting factors for the occurrence of social and religious harmony in the plural netizens showed that there was a relation between socio-religious harmony and culture-based da’wah digitization.
