Abstract

Background : The reality of English learning at the PAUD level is still faced with various challenges, such as the lack of available learning media, the lack of teachers with adequate qualifications, and the limited variety of teaching methods. Aim : This study aims to determine, explain, and analyze the implementation of English introduction to early childhood through the Direct Method at Pembina Ponorogo State Kindergarten. Method : This study uses a qualitative approach with observation, interview, and documentation methods. The subjects of the study included 24 children, consisting of 8 boys and 16 girls, teachers, and principals. The research indicators include 4 aspects of language skills including listening, speaking, reading, and writing. Result : The results of the study revealed that the Implementation of the Direct Method at Pembina Ponorogo Research findings indicate that the application of the Direct Method is not only effective in stimulating children's cognitive and linguistic abilities but also integrates fine motor stimulation—making it more holistic than other conventional approaches. Compared to other media or methods, the Direct Method offers an intuitive and interactive learning framework based on the stimulus-response principle, which is highly suited to the learning characteristics of young children. Conclusion : The strength of this method lies in the active role of the teacher as both a facilitator and a language model, thereby bridging theory and practice in a practical way. Although challenges such as maintaining children's focus still exist, this method has proven to significantly enhance listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills. Therefore, kindergarten/preschool teachers are advised to optimize the integration of fine motor activities, provide consistent guidance, and create a supportive learning environment to maximize the potential of this method.

Abstract

Grounded in Halliday’s Systemic Functional Linguistics and Freire’s Critical Pedagogy, the research aims to develop a transformative digital reading assessment model that embeds Muhammadiyah values and promotes critical literacy. Conducted as a four-month participatory action research project at a Muhammadiyah higher education institution in Indonesia, this study engaged 30 student participants and several community figures. Data were collected through classroom observations, focus group discussions, and interviews, and were analyzed using critical discourse analysis based on SFL's meta functions and Freirean principles. Findings reveal three key themes: first, students interpreted texts as ideological constructs by identifying field, tenor, and mode; second, students co-constructed culturally situated reading materials through dialogic engagement with community members; and third, students demonstrated critical engagement with multimodal digital texts by analyzing how visual and linguistic elements shaped meaning. This study practically contributes a contextually grounded model for reading assessment, showing how digital platforms can serve as ethical spaces for language learning that is both critical and culturally embedded.

Abstract

STEAM merupakan pendekatan interdisipliner yang mengarahkan siswa untuk menggunakan Sains (Science), Teknologi (Technology), Teknik (Engineering), Seni (Art) dan Matematika (Mathematics) dalam konteks masalah nyata. Model pembelajaran Flipped Learning menjadi model pembelajaran inovatif yang dilaksanakan secara hybrid atau blended dengan berbagai platform e-leaning dan aplikasi seperti Liveworksheet. Kegiatan pelatihan ini dilaksanakan pada bulan Oktober tahun 2023 dengan 34 peserta guru sekolah dasar. Hasil observasi pada beberapa SD di Surakarta menunjukkan penggunaan teknologi masih belum optimal. Sekolah yang sudah Terakreditasi A masih kesulitan dalam menerapkan teknologi pembelajaran e-learning. Selain itu, permasalahan sampah merupakan hal yang tidak asing lagi dibicarakan terutama di daerah perkotaan seperti Kota Surakarta. Program 3R (Reduce, Reuse, dan Recycle) merupakan salah satu prinsip utama dalam pengelolaan sampah berwawasan lingkungan. Integrasi pendekatan STEAM-3R dapat menjadi sebuah inovasi untuk implementasi pengelolaan sampah di Sekolah Dasar. Tahap pelatihan meliputi, sosialisasi pembelajaran, penyuluhan pengembangan, koordinasi pembuatan video, koordinasi pembuatan kelas e-learning, dan koordinasi penerapan. Materi yang diberikan meliputi: implementasi pendekatan STEAM, Flipped Learning, Canva, Liveworksheet, dan Kantin Pasta. Pelatihan ini memberikan hasil, yaitu meningkatkan kemampuan guru dalam menyusun perangkat pembelajaran inovatif, meningkatkan kemampuan guru dalam menerapkan kelas E-learning, meningkatkan kemampuan dalam mendesain video interaktif. Hasil dari pelatihan memberikan dampak yang sangat baik terhadap program school well-being melalui penerapan tugas project berbasis 3R berbantuan aplikasi liveworksheet

Abstract

English language teaching in Thailand faces persistent challenges, including barriers related to teacher competence, insufficient English fluency, and a lack of effective teaching methods and strategies. Socio-individual and cultural factors, such as low self-esteem, also reduce students’ motivation in speaking practice. This study explores how the Soft-power strategy can address these issues by emphasizing active participation, collaborative learning, and experiential techniques like group discussions and real-life conversations that foster a supportive classroom environment. Using a qualitative descriptive design, the study involved 15 fourth-grade students over three months. Data were collected through classroom observations and questionnaires. The findings show that Soft-power strategies significantly enhanced student engagement. For instance, more than 86% of participants strongly agreed that the strategy helped them build confidence in speaking English, while over 66% reported enjoying and feeling comfortable during the activities. The analysis also revealed reduced student anxiety and more positive peer interactions. The results suggest that Soft-power strategies offer a promising alternative to traditional methods by fostering a supportive learning environment for long-term language development. These findings offer valuable insights for educators and policymakers aiming to transform English instruction in non-native, multilingual settings.

Abstract

Education has been recognised as a fundamental part of local, national and international efforts to bring about environmental sustainability. However, some schools are confused to integrate it in school program and to raise students awareness towards the environmental issues. The purpose of this study is to explore the integration of ecological education (Eco-Edu) in English Language Teaching (ELT) materials and its role in promoting students’ critical thinking and sustainable behaviour. This research employed a descriptive qualitative method. For triangulation data, the researchers combined qualitative data from interviews and quantitative data from questionnaires. The respondents of this study were teachers from five different schools which have integrated the ecological theme in ELT materials. Five informants from five schools were interviewed extensively to collect qualitative data. The interviews were analyzed through thematic analysis using ChatGPT application tools. The findings of this study indicated that teachers were able to integrate the environmental education by applying various ecological themes in ELT materials which could promote the students’ critical thinking and raise their sustainable behavior. Teachers noted that students became more proactive in environmental initiatives, such as waste management and tree planting, reflecting a greater awareness of ecological concerns. Moreover, the study highlighted the importance of institutional support and teacher preparedness in successfully implementing Eco-Edu. Ultimately, the integration of Eco-Edu in ELT not only improved language skills but also cultivated a sense of responsibility toward the environment, equipping students with the knowledge and motivation to address global ecological challenges.
