Abstract

Many Indonesian pesantren (Islamic boarding schools) adopt bilingual policies requiring daily English communication, yet limited teacher proficiency often hinders their effective implementation. This study investigates the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) SpeechAce to enhance teachers’ speaking skills for daily communication in a pesantren in Lhokseumawe, Aceh, Indonesia. Using a mixed-method explanatory sequential design, 29 teachers participated in a one-month intervention consisting of AI-based practice and training, pre- and post-tests, reflective logbook, and semi-structured interviews. Quantitative results revealed consistent improvement across pronunciation, fluency, vocabulary, and grammar, with vocabulary and grammar showing the greatest gains. Qualitative findings highlighted teachers’ positive perceptions of AI in promoting self-regulated learning and as an anxiety-reducing tool for speaking practice, despite challenges such as technical issues and the need for a longer and a more structured guidance from a human-teacher. While AI SpeechAce effectively enhanced teachers’ speaking confidence through safe, feedback-driven practice relevant to their daily communication, its limitations shaped by linguistic gaps and technical challenges, underscore the need for future blended models and extended interventions to ensure stronger transfer into real-world communicative spoken English skills.

Abstract

This study examines how listeners express self-empathy in TikTok comments responding to Taylor Swift’s song Mirrorball. While previous research has explored emotional responses to music on digital platforms, limited attention has been given to how individuals direct empathy toward themselves through brief online expressions. Drawing on Neff’s self-compassion framework, this study focuses on three aspects of self-empathy: self-reflection, emotional awareness, and self-validation. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, twelve TikTok comments were purposively selected and analyzed through thematic analysis. The findings reveal that each aspect of self-empathy is equally represented in the data, with four comments categorized under self-reflection, four under emotional awareness, and four under self-validation. These findings show that listeners use the song as a reflective space to recognize themselves, become aware of their emotional states, and validate their feelings through everyday language. These findings suggest that TikTok functions not only as a platform for music consumption but also as a space where individuals articulate and process self-related emotions through brief digital expressions.

Abstract

In the era of knowledge and technological advancement, language acquisition has become one of key indicators of educational success, yet opportunities to learn English remain limited in many non-formal educational settings, particularly in rural areas. This program was designed to introduce basic English vocabulary through interactive and meaningful learning experiences for students at several Qur'anic Learning centers (TPQ) in North Aceh, including Balai Pengajian Darul Yaqin, Meunasah Samakurok, Dayah Tahzibuddin, dan Zauhar Malikussaleh. This program aimed to improve young learner ability to recognize, pronounce, memorize and use basic vocabulary in daily activities through enjoyable and meaningful experiences. The activities were conducted to 45 young learners with the age range 6-12 years. Integrating service learning with the teaching for young learner courses, these activities were implemented through five stages: investigation, planning, action, reflection, and presentation. Various interactive media and teaching strategies were implemented, such as Total Physical Response (TPR), educational games, flashcards, role play, and song. The result indicated that students showed high enthusiasm and active involvement during the activities. The students were able to recognize and memorize basic English vocabularies related to fruits, colors, parts of body, transportation, family members, and animals. The use of contextual media strengthened students’ understanding of English vocabulary acquisition. Finally, this program is expected to become a sustainable education model to promote English for young learners in rural community.

Abstract

This study investigates the potential of Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) as an approach for improving English language proficiency among high school students in Bener Meriah, Aceh, Indonesia. Leveraging the local identity and reputation of Bener Meriah as a leading coffee producer region, this study proposed a coffee-themed curriculum to be integrated in English learning with culturally relevant content. A systematic literature review (SLR) was conducted in accordance with PRISMA guidelines to explore the implementation of CLIL in high school EFL contexts. Using Google Scholar, an initial boolean search identified 87 articles published between 2020 and 2024. Through inclusion and exclusion criteria, 12 relevant studies were selected for final analysis. The findings reveal that (i) CLIL promotes language acquisition, contextual learning, and student motivation. However, (ii) challenges such as resource constraints, teacher training needs, and implementation costs must be addressed. Based on these findings, this article offers recommendations for CLIL integration and highlights its implications for education and economic development in EFL contexts, particularly Bener Meriah, where coffee farming is a primary source of livelihood.

Abstract

This study aims to explore students' perceptions and challenges of the video-based projects implementation as a form of Merdeka curriculum in speaking for the General Communication subject. The first-semester students of English Education Department IAIN Lhokseumawe become the subject of this study. Moreover, the data were gained through the distribution of questionnaires and in-depth interviews, which were then analysed descriptively. The research results show that the majority of students responded positively to the use of video-based projects in speaking lessons. Students feel more confident, motivated, and capable of improving their speaking skills as well as other supporting skills such as pronunciation, editing, and scriptwriting. In addition, this project also encourages independence, creativity, and provides a more contextual and meaningful learning experience. However, this study also found several challenges faced by students, such as technical constraints, inadequate equipment, difficulties in scriptwriting, and psychological pressure due to teachers’ expectation. Therefore, technical support, adequate guidance, and adjustments to learning strategies are needed so that the implementation of video-based projects can run more optimally. Overall, video-based projects have proven to be relevant as a constructive and participatory learning method that aligns with the spirit of the Merdeka Curriculum.     Keywords: Merdeka Curriculum, project-based learning, speaking skill, video-based project

Abstract

English language learners are expected to interact with people from a variety of cultural backgrounds in the globalized world. As a result, intercultural competency is now a crucial part of teaching English as a foreign language (EFL). This study investigates how EFL students view the contribution of Cross-Cultural Understanding (CCU) classes to the development of intercultural competency. 10 undergraduate EFL students who had enrolled in a CCU course at Universitas Teuku Umar participated in semi-structured interviews to gather data using a qualitative method. The results show that CCU courses improve students' understanding of cultural diversity, empathy, openness, communication skills, and cultural awareness. In addition, students claimed that conversations in the classroom and exposure to real cultural activities helped them challenge stereotypes and develop more positive views toward different cultures. According to the study's findings, CCU courses are crucial in helping EFL students develop intercultural competency and get ready for global communication.

Abstract

The community service program titled "FUN HOLIDAY WITH ENGLISH: Introducing English Literacy to Elementary School Students in Lhokseumawe" was implemented as an initiative to provide an alternative educational activity during the school holidays. The program aimed to enhance English literacy in an interactive and enjoyable manner while also reducing excessive smartphone use during the holidays. Students from Universitas Bumi Persada and IAIN Lhokseumawe applied the pedagogical theories and knowledge they had acquired to design an English teaching program for elementary students using a service-learning approach. The program was carried out in collaboration with Universitas Bumi Persada, IAIN Lhokseumawe, STIT Syamsuddhuha and the Lhokseumawe City Library and Archives Department, taking place over four sessions at the Lhokseumawe Public Library. The results indicate that the children improved their mastery of basic vocabulary, with 80 percent of participants able to recall and use the vocabulary taught. The university students also gained valuable experience in classroom management, adapting teaching methods, and engaging in reflective practice. Furthermore, the children developed a greater interest in learning English and utilizing library resources, leading to positive impacts on the local community. This cross-institutional collaboration demonstrates the effectiveness of community service programs in supporting literacy and skill development.
