Abstract

Padengo Village in West Limboto District, Gorontalo Regency, is rich in natural resources and cultural heritage, but faces challenges in human resource development. Most residents work in the agriculture and livestock sectors with low levels of education, with many having only completed primary education or no schooling at all. To address this issue, the INTEGRALO (Internalization of Local Values) program was introduced, combining digital-based English learning with local wisdom to improve language skills and strengthen cultural identity. This program encourages active community participation by utilizing technology to make learning more engaging and contextual. As a result, residents are able to process corn into chips with simple packaging, compile a Local Wisdom Pocket Book as a cultural archive, and manage a village website, which is now run by youth and officials after training. In the area of ​​social education, teenagers learned about the dangers of early marriage, while children learned about bullying. Student involvement also strengthened academic relationships with the community. Overall, the Thematic KKN II Program has had a tangible impact on Padengo Village, from improving the local economy, cultural preservation, digital literacy, and educating the younger generation.

Abstract

This research scrutinizes the prevalent issue of English affixation errors in the writing of EFL students. These errors have substantial implications for the semantic accuracy of translated words from the student's native language into English. The study focuses on errors in short stories translated by students from Translation Class at the English Education Study Program of Universitas Negeri Gorontalo. The research objectives encompass the identification and categorization of errors in English affixation usage and an exploration of their underlying causes. Dulay, Burt, and Krashen's error classification framework (2016), including omission, addition, misformation, and misordering, is employed and adapted for specific categories of English affixation errors. The study also investigates the causes of these errors, including interlingual transfer, intralingual transfer, context of learning, and communication strategies, as outlined by Brown (2014). Utilizing a qualitative descriptive research approach, the study provides a comprehensive analysis of error types and their causative factors related to affixation. Drawing upon Ellis's data analysis technique (1997), the researchers identify, describe, and explain these errors. The findings reveal omission as the most prevalent error, followed by misformation and addition, each encompassing inflectional and derivational affixes. Notably, the inflectional suffix -ed, signifying the past tense, is a recurrent source of errors. These errors predominantly stem from intralingual transfer, with contextual learning, interlingual transfer, and communication strategies also contributing. In summary, differences in affixation usage between Indonesian and English significantly impact student translations of short stories.

Abstract

This study explores EFL learners’ perspectives on syntactic awareness in academic writing within an Indonesian higher education context. Although syntax is often taught as rule-based grammar, little attention has been given to how learners conceptualize and utilize syntactic awareness in their writing processes. Employing a qualitative case study design, data were collected through semi-structured interviews with 15 undergraduate students in an English Education program who had completed Academic Writing and English Syntax courses. The data were analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings reveal that learners perceive syntactic awareness as conscious attention to sentence structure, a strategy for achieving academic complexity, an error-monitoring mechanism, a bridge between grammatical knowledge and writing practice, a cognitive challenge, a product of reflective practice, a source of writing confidence, and a meaning-making resource. The study concludes that syntactic awareness extends beyond grammatical knowledge and functions as a dynamic metalinguistic and metacognitive process supporting academic literacy development. These findings highlight the importance of integrating reflective syntactic engagement into EFL writing pedagogy.

Abstract

This study explores the pedagogical practices and support systems surrounding English language teaching for students with special needs in Sekolah Luar Biasa (SLB), with a focus on two experienced teachers in Gorontalo City. Using a qualitative descriptive design, data were collected through semi-structured interviews, capturing insights from teachers instructing students with diverse disabilities, including visual, hearing, intellectual, physical, and developmental impairments. The findings indicate that teachers adapt lesson plans, design their own modules, and employ multimodal resources such as flashcards, posters, videos, and educational applications. Instruction is personalized based on initial assessments to align with each student's abilities. However, challenges persist, notably the lack of specialized training in English teaching for students with disabilities, inconsistent parental involvement, and limited collaboration with external educational stakeholders. While institutional support—such as policy provisions and instructional materials—is evident, external partnerships remain underdeveloped. The study underscores the need for systemic interventions, including targeted professional development, strengthened home-school collaboration, and inter-agency cooperation to ensure inclusive and effective English language education for learners with special needs.

Abstract

Writing well-formed sentences requires a strong grasp of grammar and vocabulary, which can be especially challenging for students when the target language differs significantly from their native language. When learning how words connect to form larger grammatical units, students often become confused about parts of speech, leading to errors. This study aimed to describe the syntactical errors found in 15 argumentative essays by fourth-semester English majors and identify the error sources through a descriptive qualitative method. The analysis revealed 47 syntactical errors across 5 categories: noun phrases with determiners (26 instances), conjunctions (6), numbers (5), auxiliary verbs (6), and prepositions (4). Both interlingual (native language influence) and intralingual (target language itself) factors contributed to these errors. Ultimately, this research hopes to raise awareness among students about producing grammatically correct written English.

Abstract

Aphasia, a language disorder resulting from brain damage, significantly impacts both language production and comprehension. This paper reviews the neurocognitive mechanisms underlying aphasia, with a focus on expressive and receptive language deficits across different subtypes. In Broca's aphasia, individuals exhibit non-fluent, grammatically impaired speech, while Wernicke's aphasia is characterized by fluent but semantically meaningless speech. Conduction aphasia, a selective production deficit, highlights the role of the arcuate fasciculus in speech. The review also explores comprehension deficits, particularly in syntactic parsing, as seen in Broca’s aphasia. Recent neuroanatomical research has moved beyond the traditional Broca-Wernicke model, demonstrating the involvement of a broader network, including cortical and subcortical regions, in language processing. Assessment tools such as the Western Aphasia Battery-Revised (WAB-R) and the Boston Diagnostic Aphasia Examination (BDAE) provide valuable insights into aphasia diagnosis and profile. The paper concludes by discussing modern therapeutic approaches like Constraint-Induced Language Therapy (CILT), Melodic Intonation Therapy (MIT), and Semantic Feature Analysis (SFA), which target specific cognitive-linguistic impairments. This review contributes to the understanding of aphasia as a complex, multifaceted disorder, emphasizing its diagnosis, neural bases, and treatment strategies.
