Abstract

The study employed a descriptive methodology with a cultural perspective, with a key focus on dissecting the novel Princess: A True Story of Life Behind the Veil in Saudi Arabia by Jean Sasson published in 1993 to explore the impact of popular culture on the identity of Saudi women, focusing on the princesses within the royal palace. The cultural environment of Saudi Arabia presents a complex scenario for women as they reconcile traditional Islamic values with pervasive Westernized influences. This inquiry scrutinized how popular culture, introduced through migration and media exposure, molded Saudi womens attitudes and actions, particularly those of the royal lineage. This novel is the source of data for the research. The analysis focused on themes, representations, and cultural significance. It examined language, imagery, and narratives to uncover meanings and relate them to broader societal issues, ultimately revealing how popular culture reflects or challenges prevailing ideologies. The findings revealed Sultanas struggle to balance her Saudi princess identity with Western influences, revealing the complexities of cultural exchange, marriage practices, and societal expectations in both Western and Islamic contexts. Sassons narrative highlights how global influences, particularly Western culture, shape perceptions and interactions, enriching yet complicating societal norms. Vivid depictions of gender roles, sensory experiences, and emotional responses underline the ongoing struggles women face in patriarchal societies. These stories provide an understanding of the intersections of culture, gender, and identity, reflecting personal journeys while echoing broader themes of empowerment, resistance, and evolving cultural identities in a globalized world.

Abstract

Purpose of the Study: 1. To assess how the ZIELTS application affects candidates' performance in the IELTS listening section; 2. To identify key features of the ZIELTS application that enhance listening skills; 3. To evaluate candidates' perceptions of the ZIELTS application's effectiveness.Methodology: A mixed-methods design was adopted combining quantitative performance measurement and qualitative feedback analysis. Ten participants were randomly selected and assessed using pre- and post-tests to evaluate listening competence. Participants practiced listening using the ZIELTS application for two weeks and recorded the frequency of use and topic preferences in logbooks. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and a paired-samples t-test in SPSS, while qualitative data from logbooks and Focus Group Discussions (FGD) were examined through thematic analysis.Main Findings: The outcome revealed a modest but not statistically significant improvement in listening skills: the mean band score increased from 6.75 to 6.90, t(9) = 0.896, p = 0.394. While there was some variation in the progress of individual participants, users were satisfied with the user-friendly design of the application, the wide range of topics, and additional features like vocabulary lists and audio transcripts. Minor technical issues (e.g., inconsistencies between audio and text) were identified as opportunities for future enhancements.Novelty/Originality of This Study: This study is one of the earliest empirical explorations of ZIELTS, a purpose-built, exam-aligned AI application launched in March 2024, as a means of improving IELTS listening performance. Using a mixed-methods approach that integrates quantitative pre- and post-test assessments with qualitative learner feedback, it contributes original, context-specific evidence to the relatively under-researched intersection of AI-assisted language learning and IELTS listening preparation.

Abstract

Community service activities are a mandatory responsibility for university lecturers as part of the Tri Dharma. This research aimed to investigate attitudes and behaviors towards environmental conservation and analyze the impact of theme-based learning on children in Sei Tuan Village, contributing to broader community-level efforts to protect and preserve the environment. A mixed-methods approach was employed, involving both qualitative and quantitative paradigms to collect and analyze data from 13 children residing in Sei Tuan Village, Deli Serdang Regency. A Pre-Test – Treatment – Post-Test methodology and observations were utilized in conducting the research. The results revealed that 85% of children in Sei Tuan Village demonstrated proficiency in distinguishing between healthy and unhealthy environments. Additionally, all individuals exhibited concern for the environment, including methods of preservation and the benefits of a pristine environment. Notably, 77% of students received comprehensive instruction on categorizing trash into organic, inorganic, and hazardous types. Moreover, 88.5% of individuals articulated positive effects resulting from nurturing environmental affection. Theme-based learning was found to enhance children's recognition of environmental and climate change issues, sparking their interest in learning, particularly in applying basic English vocabulary to care for and protect the environment.

Abstract

Previous research has examined project-based learning (PBL), video-based tasks, and environmental education in EFL contexts. However, research on how a single video-based project can assist students in enhancing speaking skills while simultaneously fostering environmental awareness remains underexplored. This descriptive qualitative study aims to investigate students' perceptions of the project, determine the most enhanced speaking components, and assess the project's impact on their environmental awareness and dedication. During a two-week study on local environmental concerns, forty-one EFL students from the second semester at a university in Sumatera Utara took part in this study. Data were gathered using a ten-item open-ended questionnaire completed after the study and examined thematically to discover recurring trends in students' perspectives. The results demonstrate that students found the project intriguing since it was collaborative, innovative, and real-world in nature. The enormous improvements in speaking elements such as fluency, vocabulary, pronunciation, and confidence have resulted in less focus on grammar. It also increases students' environmental consciousness and sense of responsibility by teaching them about local ecological challenges and the need for environmental protection. This study implies that video-based PBL has the potential to increase both speaking skills and environmental awareness, making it a meaningful and socially relevant method for language learning.
