Abstract

It is often assumed that native-English teachers are the best teachers in the teaching of English. This results in the preference towards native-English teachers and the isolation of non-native English teachers when it comes to English teaching profession. This assumption should not be perpetuated. English teaching researches have shown that native-English teachers are not always the ideal teachers in the teaching of English. The findings of the researches state that non-native English teachers have more advantages compared to the native ones especially in the context of English as an international language where English can no longer be associated with only English-speaking countries. This paper discusses the issue of the preference towards native-English teachers and the isolation of non-native English teachers.

Abstract

With the growing use of internet, a large number of English learning websites have been developed to assist English learners to improve their English. However, the websites do not always match the learners’ need, learners’ interests, and learners’ characteristic. Hence, it is essential for English teachers to evaluate the English learning websites before they recommend them to their students. The present study evaluated three language learning websites focusing on listening. Three major criteria including design, content, and learner fit were used as the parameters in the present evaluation. It is expected that, upon the evaluation, English language learners can be assisted to choose the best website for their English learning. In addition, this evaluation can contribute to the development of the language learning websites in which the feedback from the evaluation can be incorporated to the better development of the websites.

Abstract

In general, a robot is defined as a mechanical device used by humans to ease human work. Robots are usually used for difficult and dangerous tasks. One example of its use is a firefighting robot that replaces human tasks in extinguishing fires. The firefighting robot is on duty to find fire spots in a city then extinguishing them. To be able to put out a fire, the robot must implement an efficient program in finding and determining the shortest path to the location of the fire and then put it out. For this reason, the robot is equipped with proximity and fire sensors to detect the presence of fire. The design is made with a three-step program that is designing needs of robot control, robot control mechanism scheme preparation and implementing an algorithm for making program syntax. The Brute-Force Algorithm can be implemented to indicate the presence of a hotspot signal and the backtracking Algorithm is implemented to find the shortest path to the hotspot location. This paper discusses the use of a brute-force algorithm and a backtracking algorithm in a firefighting robot program to make the fire search process more efficient. The results show that from 8 input fire points, the firefighting robot is able to find all the points within 3.12 seconds with 13 times trial. In its application, the writer used Visual Basic 6.0 in the firefighting robot program.Keywords: Firefighting Robot, Brute-Force Algorithm, and Backtracking Algorithm.Secara umum robot didefinisikan sebagai suatu alat mekanik yang digunakan oleh manusia untuk mempermudah pekerjaan manusia. Robot biasanya digunakan untuk tugas-tugas yang sulit dan berbahaya. Salah satu contoh penggunaannya adalah robot pemadam kebakaran yang menggantikan tugas manusia dalam memadamkan api. Robot pemadam kebakaran bertugas untuk menemukan titik api di suatu kota kemudian memadamkannya. Untuk dapat memadamkan api, robot harus menerapkan program yang efisien dalam mencari dan menentukan jalur terpendek menuju lokasi kebakaran kemudian memadamkannya. Untuk itu, robot dilengkapi dengan proximity dan fire sensor untuk mendeteksi adanya api. Perancangan dibuat dengan tiga langkah program yaitu perancangan kebutuhan pengendalian robot, penyusunan skema mekanisme kendali robot dan implementasi algoritma untuk pembuatan sintaks program. Algoritma Brute-Force dapat diimplementasikan untuk menunjukkan adanya sinyal hotspot dan Algoritma backtracking diimplementasikan untuk mencari jalur terpendek ke lokasi hotspot. Penelitian ini membahas tentang penggunaan algoritma brute force dan algoritma backtracking pada simulasi program robot pemadam kebakaran agar proses pencarian kebakaran menjadi lebih efisien. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa dari 8 input titik api, robot pemadam kebakaran mampu menemukan semua titik dalam waktu 3,12 detik dengan 13 percobaan. Dalam penerapannya penulis menggunakan Visual Basic 6.0 pada program robot pemadam kebakaran. Kata kunci: Robot Pemadam Kebakaran, Algoritma Brute-Force, dan Backtracking.

Abstract

Traveling is an activity that people do to unwind from their daily routines. There are many types of travel destinations, and one of them is a natural hot spring located in Situmeang Habinsaran Village, Sipoholon District, North Tapanuli. Besides being a tourist destination, natural hot springs are believed to have the ability to cure various skin diseases and promote healthier skin. The owner of the Karunia hot spring business is one of the entrepreneurs who provide hot spring baths, accommodations/homestays, and a restaurant. This business opportunity has become more competitive with many similar ventures opening up. Marketing and promoting this natural attraction continues. As time goes by, the promotion and business systems need to be enhanced by using information technology to improve. A website is one of the means for promotion and branding, enabling the digitization of the established business. Building a website is applied for promotional purposes and to enhance credibility with the public, making them more familiar with the hot spring tourism in Sipoholon, especially Karunia hot spring. The website also serves as a centralized platform for financial management, cash flow, and business operations, which have previously been done manually. The goal of creating this website is for partners to increase income and improve business branding

Abstract

The focus of linguistic research has been shift in the past five years from face to face communication to online communication. This research employed content analysis on a number of articles that had been published in linguistics journals across Indonesia since 2020 to 2024, with linguistic aspect in social media as the main focus of the research. This current research has revealed that in the past five years, the number of publications used social media as their data source had improved. Among those publications, the most dominant research designed was qualitative descriptive. In addition, content analysis is the most dominant method to analyze the data. Instagram is the most frequently platform used as data resources in linguistic research. Researchers are particularly interested to investigate pragmatic aspects towards the online communication in social media. Based on the findings, future research is encouraged to use more diverse research designs, expand the scope of linguistic domains, and explore new platforms such as threads to better capture evolving digital language trends. Researchers are also advised to continuously adapt their methods and analyses to the dynamic nature of online communication in Indonesia.
