Abstract

Objective: This study investigates the impact of integrating local culture-based website applications on improving the reading comprehension skills of ninth-grade students. Method: Conducted as classroom action research, the study involved 114 students and one English teacher as a collaborator. Over five meetings, students engaged with culturally relevant texts designed to enhance their comprehension, vocabulary, and grammar skills. The research included a pre-test, three treatment sessions using the website application, and a post-test, followed by a questionnaire on students' perceptions of the application. Results: The findings show that the average post-test score rising from 55.6 to 73.4. The decrease in the standard deviation from 12.8 to 9.5 suggests a reduction in performance disparities. A paired sample t-test confirmed the statistical significance of these gains (t(114) = 12.67, p < 0.001), and the large effect size (Cohen’s d = 1.62) indicates a substantial impact of the intervention. The students' responses to the questionnaire reflected a positive attitude toward the use of the application, highlighting its effectiveness and cultural relevance. Novelty: These results suggest that incorporating local cultural content into educational tools can significantly enhance student engagement and learning outcomes.

Abstract

Speaking skills in English are essential for accessing global knowledge. However, many students struggle with shyness, low self-confidence, and a lack of interactive and enjoyable practice opportunities, which hinder their speaking development. One effective method to improve speaking skills is through News Anchoring, as it helps students practice expressing ideas, pronunciation, intonation, fluency, and news comprehension. To further support this development, extracurricular activities such as an English Club should be established outside regular school hours. The English Club serves as a strategic platform to provide practice opportunities, boost motivation, and build students' confidence in using English. The result of this community service program indicates a positive response from students, with their speaking skills improving from an average score of 3 to 4.6, after participating in the News Anchoring activities in the English Club.

Abstract

Kegiatan Pengabdian kepada Masyarakat ini dilaksanakan di salah satu sekolah di Kecamatan Kramatmulya dengan tujuan meningkatkan kepercayaan diri dan keterlibatan sosial siswa melalui pelatihan public speaking menggunakan metode speech. Permasalahan yang dihadapi adalah rendahnya rasa percaya diri siswa dalam berbicara di depan umum serta minimnya aktivitas ekstrakurikuler yang mendukung pengembangan keterampilan komunikasi. Untuk mengatasi hal tersebut, tim pelaksana menyusun program pelatihan terstruktur yang mencakup koordinasi dengan pihak sekolah, sosialisasi kepada siswa, penyusunan materi inspiratif, pelatihan teknik speech, pendampingan individu, serta kegiatan puncak berupa Talent Show “English Performance Day”. Metode speech dipilih karena dinilai efektif dalam melatih keterampilan berbicara, penggunaan gestur, ekspresi, serta penguasaan intonasi yang mendukung komunikasi persuasif. Materi bertema motivasional seperti “Jangan Menyerah” dan “Don’t Be Afraid to Fail” digunakan untuk menginspirasi dan memperkuat karakter siswa. Hasil pelaksanaan menunjukkan peningkatan signifikan dalam kepercayaan diri, kemampuan komunikasi, dan partisipasi aktif siswa. Evaluasi melalui observasi dan umpan balik mengindikasikan bahwa siswa telah mampu menyampaikan pidato dengan cukup baik meskipun terdapat kekeliruan minor. Kesimpulannya, metode speech dalam konteks public speaking terbukti efektif dalam membina aspek afektif, kognitif, dan psikomotor siswa, serta layak direkomendasikan sebagai strategi pembelajaran untuk memperkuat keterampilan abad ke-21 dan mendukung pendidikan karakter di tingkat SMP.

Abstract

The integration of technology into teaching is critical for preparing educators to meet the demands of 21st-century classrooms, particularly in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) contexts. This study investigates the factors influencing the development of Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) among preservice English teachers, addressing gaps in existing research that often overlooks this group. Using a mixed-methods approach, quantitative data from 30 participants were collected via a validated TPACK questionnaire, while qualitative insights were gathered through in-depth interviews with a purposive sample of 10 preservice teachers. The findings highlight significant variability in TPACK levels, with technological knowledge emerging as the most challenging domain. Four key factors—access to technological resources, mentorship from experienced teachers, prior experience with technology, and professional development opportunities—were identified as crucial for TPACK development. Limited access to resources and insufficient training were common barriers, whereas mentorship and prior exposure to technology positively influenced confidence and adaptability. The study concludes that tailored interventions, such as resource provision, mentorship programs, and technology-focused training workshops, are essential for enhancing preservice teachers' TPACK proficiency. Educational institutions must prioritize these measures to equip future educators with the skills needed for effective technology integration. Further research is recommended to explore these factors across diverse educational contexts to inform comprehensive strategies for improving teacher education programs.Keywords: TPACK; preservice teachers; EFL, technology integration; mentorship; teacher training; professional development

Abstract

Kegiatan Fun English Day dilaksanakan di MI Plus An-Nur, Desa Manggari, Kecamatan Lebakwangi, Kabupaten Kuningan, selama enam hari, bertujuan untuk meningkatkan kemampuan bahasa Inggris masyarakat Desa Manggari dalam usia kelas 1-3 melalui pendekatan yang interaktif dan menyenangkan. Analisis situasi menunjukkan bahwa meskipun Desa Manggari memiliki potensi pendidikan yang baik, minat belajar bahasa Inggris di kalangan masyarakat masih rendah akibat anggapan bahwa bahasa Inggris sulit dipelajari. Permasalahan ini diperparah oleh kurangnya sumber daya manusia yang mendukung pembelajaran bahasa Inggris. Metode yang digunakan dalam kegiatan ini mencakup sosialisasi, pelatihan tutor, penerapan teknologi, pendampingan, dan evaluasi. Kegiatan ini dilaksanakan selama 6 hari, pada 23-Bulan Juni 2025 di Sekolah MI Plus Annur. Kegiatan dimulai dengan sosialisasi kepada peserta, orang tua, dan guru untuk menjelaskan tujuan dan manfaat program. Pelatihan dilakukan untuk memastikan tutor memiliki keterampilan yang diperlukan untuk mengajar dengan metode yang efektif. Penerapan teknologi termasuk penggunaan aplikasi pembelajaran interaktif, serta aktivitas seperti "Listen and Say," "Listen and Do," dan "Listen and Repeat," memberikan pengalaman belajar yang menarik. Hasil dari kegiatan menunjukkan peningkatan signifikan dalam keterampilan bahasa Inggris peserta, baik dalam kosakata, keterampilan menyimak maupun keterampilan berbicara. Evaluasi yang dilakukan di akhir program menunjukkan bahwa peserta merasa lebih percaya diri dalam menggunakan bahasa Inggris. Pembahasan mengungkapkan pentingnya keberlanjutan program agar metode yang telah diajarkan dapat terus diimplementasikan dalam pembelajaran reguler dan ekstrakurikuler. Oleh karena itu, disarankan agar kegiatan serupa diadakan secara berkelanjutan, dengan melibatkan orang tua dan masyarakat untuk mendukung penguasaan bahasa Inggris pelajar di Desa Manggari.

Abstract

Background: A crucial issue in teacher education today is ensuring that PTs are well prepared to integrate technology into their future classrooms. This study examines the implementation of Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) among preservice English teachers in planning and implementing learning, as well as the barriers they face and their solutions.Methodology: This study used a case study research design to explore in depth how PTs apply the TPACK framework in real classroom situations. The participants in this study consisted of five PTs from teacher education programs at four universities in Indonesia.Findings: PTs generally show good alignment between technology use, pedagogical strategies, and content in their lesson plans, but are often not optimally integrated during implementation. The main barriers identified include limited access to and technology resources, differences in technology skill levels between students and teachers, students' difficulties in adapting to technology-based learning, and time management issues. The solutions are to provide device assistance to students in need, provide basic technology training and plan carefully and provide realistic time for students to adapt to technology and complete assignmentsConclusion: To enhance technology integration in education, universities must prioritize providing device assistance and basic tech training for PTs. By addressing these barriers, educators can better support effective technology use in the classroom, ultimately improving student learning outcomes.Originality: How pre-service teachers, who are the next generation of educators, develop and implement TPACK during their preparation and learning phases. In particular, there is very little research that specifically explores the implementation of TPACK in the classroom by PTs, as well as a lack of exploration of the challenges faced by them and the strategies used in the TPACK integration process.
