Abstract

Media utilization plays a crucial role in enhancing the teaching and learning process within the classroom environment. This study investigates how a lecturer at Universitas Muhammadiyah Kendari perceives the use of teaching media in vocabulary instruction. Utilizing a qualitative descriptive approach through a case study, the research involved one lecturer and data collected from three classroom observations and two interviews. The analysis employed thematic coding across six key aspects: purpose, media selection, utilization, benefits, challenges, and effectiveness. The findings indicate that the lecturer employed a diverse range of teaching media, with multimedia resources, such as audio-books, being particularly prominent due to their integration of both audio and visual elements. Interviews data corroborates this observation, revealing the lecturer's belief that selecting appropriate media significantly enhances student engagement and aids in achieving learning objectives. Additionally, the study highlights that integrating various media types fosters a more interactive and dynamic vocabulary learning environment. The results further suggest that the lecturer demonstrates a robust understanding of media utilization, as evidenced by the absence of significant challenges in the process. Overall, the study underscores the effectiveness of diverse media in enriching vocabulary instruction and suggests that strategic media integration can greatly enhance the learning experience.

Abstract

This study examines students’ perceptions of Google Classroom as a tool for English reading instruction, utilizing Davis' (1989) Technology Acceptance Model to explore the interplay of perceived usefulness and ease of use in shaping their experiences. Employing a qualitative research design, data were collected through semi-structured interviews with five second-semester English education students selected through purposive sampling. Thematic analysis revealed both positive and negative perceptions of the platform. Positive perceptions centered on its accessibility, usefulness, efficiency, flexibility, and user-friendly features, which supported students in organizing tasks, managing time, and accessing learning materials seamlessly. However, challenges included dependence on stable internet connections and limited interactivity, which hindered collaborative learning and engagement. These findings underscore the dual nature of Google Classroom as both a facilitator and a constraint in digital learning environments. The study highlights the need for improved infrastructure, professional development for educators, and integration of supplementary tools to address identified limitations. The results contribute to the growing body of literature on technology-enhanced learning and offer practical implications for optimizing the use of digital tools in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) education. Future research should explore blended learning models and the integration of interactive tools to enhance the effectiveness of LMS platforms in fostering active and equitable learning experiences.

Abstract

Vocabulary plays a pivotal role in English learning as it forms the foundation for developing core language skills. However, many elementary students struggle with vocabulary acquisition due to limited exposure and the use of less effective instructional methods. This research aimed to examine the effectiveness of picture media as an interactive learning tool in enhancing the vocabulary mastery of fifth-grade students at Kofalagadi Elementary School, Menui District. A pre-experimental method with a one-group pretest–posttest design was applied, involving 12 students as participants. The instrument used was a vocabulary test consisting of 20 items in the form of matching, multiple-choice, and jumbled-word questions. The findings showed that the students’ mean score improved from 65.83 in the pre-test to 95.00 in the post-test, with a mean difference of 29.17 points. The paired samples t-test indicated a significance value of 0.000 (p 0.05), confirming that there was a significant improvement in students’ vocabulary mastery after the intervention. These results suggest that picture media, when applied interactively, can serve as an effective instructional strategy to support vocabulary learning, particularly at the elementary school level. Furthermore, this study provides practical insights for teachers in selecting engaging media and demonstrates that picture-based strategies can be effectively integrated into classroom practice to foster student motivation and vocabulary development.

Abstract

In bilingual societies, code-switching is a common linguistic practice that reflects both social identity and communicative style. Although numerous studies have examined code-switching in Indonesian podcasts, most have centered on domestic contexts, leaving limited attention to speakers living abroad. This study investigates code-switching in Beropini, a podcast by Gita Savitri Devi, to identify the dominant type of code-switching based on Poplack’s (2004) classification and to analyze its causal factors using Hoffmann’s (1991) framework. Employing a descriptive qualitative method through transcription, categorization, and researcher triangulation, the study identified 167 instances of code-switching: 163 intra-sentential, 3 tag-switching, and 1 inter-sentential. The main factors included expressing group identity (71 instances), talking about a particular topic (61), and repetition is used for emphasis (54), while other factors appeared less frequently. These findings demonstrate that code-switching in Beropini serves not only as a communicative strategy but also as a deliberate means of constructing bilingual identity within transnational digital discourse.

Abstract

Kalurahan Sumbersari, a border village in Sleman Regency, possesses significant potential in natural resources, particularly in agriculture and fisheries. However, the village faces substantial challenges, including inadequate aeration systems for fishponds and irrigation difficulties for rice fields. This community service initiative aims to address these issues by implementing solar energy-based solutions. The activities involved the design of an optimized aeration system for fishponds, the strategic installation of water pumps to facilitate rice field irrigation, and the construction of a Solar Power Plant (PLTS). The adoption of solar energy not only aims to meet the electricity needs but also contributes to Indonesia's achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly Goal 7, which focuses on Affordable and Clean Energy. The success of this project hinged on the active participation of the local community. Socialization and training sessions were conducted to ensure understanding of the aeration systems, water pump operations, and PLTS maintenance. It is anticipated that the implementation of these activities will resolve the fish health issues and irrigation difficulties, thereby enhancing fish and agricultural production in Kalurahan Sumbersari. In addition to these direct benefits, the use of renewable energy is also expected to mitigate the negative environmental impacts associated with fossil fuel energy consumption.
