Abstract

This study investigates the experiences of prospective English teachers during their internships, focusing on how they integrate theoretical knowledge into practice and the effects of this experience on their professional development. A quantitative approach was employed, with a survey design to collect data from seventh-semester students of the English Study Program at UKI Toraja who completed their internships during the academic year 2023/2024. The sample consisted of eighteen students selected through purposive sampling due to their relevant classroom experiences. A questionnaire based on a Likert scale was used to capture students’ perceptions and experiences during their internships. The data were tabulated and analyzed using percentage formulas to interpret responses. The findings reveal significant benefits for students, including increased confidence and enhanced teaching skills. However, challenges such as a disconnect between theoretical learning and practical application, inadequate mentor support, and variations in available resources were identified as obstacles to maximizing the internship experience. This research highlights the importance of refining internship programs to better support English language student teachers. Strengthening the connection between academic coursework and practical experiences can lead to more competent and adaptive educators, enriching the overall educational landscape and improving outcomes in teacher training.

Abstract

This research is important due to the crucial role teacher talk plays in the process of learning English, particularly in developing students’ speaking skills. Students’ language attitudes towards speaking are strongly influenced by how teachers or lecturers communicate during the learning process. Therefore, understanding the impact of teacher talk on students’ language attitudes is urgent to ensure effective learning and improved outcomes. This study aims to investigate the effect of teacher talk on students’ language attitudes in learning English speaking skills. A quantitative method was employed, with convenience sampling used to collect data from 19 seventh-semester students in the English Education program who attended all speaking classes. Data were collected through questionnaires and analyzed using t-tests, Pearson product-moment correlation, coefficient of determination, and linear regression. The hypothesis testing showed a t-count value of 5.053, greater than the t-table value of 2.120, with a significance level of 0.000, below the 0.05 threshold. This means the Null Hypothesis (H0) is rejected, and the Alternative Hypothesis (Ha) is accepted, confirming a positive and significant impact of teacher talk on students’ language attitudes in learning speaking skills. The findings highlight teacher talk as an important factor in shaping language attitudes, suggesting lecturers need to design communication approaches effectively in English speaking classes to achieve better results.

Abstract

This study investigated the effectiveness of a local wisdom-based English learning model in enhancing the English proficiency of fifth-grade students at SDN 11 Mengkendek, Tana Toraja, Indonesia. The model integrates Torajan cultural values into English instruction to provide students with meaningful and contextually relevant learning experiences. Employing a quantitative experimental design with a one-group pretest–posttest approach, the study involved 23 participants selected through cluster sampling. Data were collected using an English proficiency test measuring vocabulary and sentence structure, while data analysis was conducted using PSPP software. Statistical analyses included descriptive statistics, the Shapiro–Wilk normality test, the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test, and the calculation of effect size (r). Results revealed a significant improvement in students’ posttest scores (Z = −4.02, p = 0.000), with a very large effect size (r = 0.84), indicating that the model had a substantial pedagogical impact. The findings affirm that embedding local culture such as the Torajan values of kasianggaran, kasiuluran, and kasialamasean into English learning fosters stronger engagement, comprehension, and cultural identity. This study supports the principles of Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL) and highlights the importance of culturally responsive pedagogy in improving English education within Indonesia’s multicultural settings.

Abstract

Kemampuan berkomunikasi dalam Bahasa Inggris merupakan salah satu kompetensi yang penting untuk dikembangkan sejak usia dini. Namun, anak-anak di daerah pedesaan sering kali memiliki keterbatasan kesempatan untuk mempraktikkan penggunaan Bahasa Inggris dalam situasi komunikasi yang nyata. Oleh karena itu, kegiatan Pengabdian kepada Masyarakat (PkM) ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan kemampuan komunikasi dasar, motivasi belajar, dan kepercayaan diri anak-anak Sekolah Minggu di Stasi Santo Petrus Tampo, Kabupaten Tana Toraja, melalui program pengajaran English Conversation. Kegiatan dilaksanakan selama tiga bulan, yaitu dari Maret hingga Mei 2026, dengan melibatkan anak-anak usia sekolah dasar sebagai peserta. Metode yang digunakan adalah pendekatan komunikatif (Communicative Language Teaching) yang diterapkan melalui praktik percakapan, permainan bahasa, tanya jawab, dan aktivitas interaktif berbasis topik kehidupan sehari-hari. Program dilaksanakan dalam 21 pertemuan dengan materi yang mencakup aktivitas harian, keluarga, sekolah, hewan, profesi, transportasi, cuaca, dan topik lain yang dekat dengan pengalaman peserta. Hasil kegiatan menunjukkan adanya peningkatan kemampuan peserta dalam menggunakan kosakata dan ungkapan sederhana dalam percakapan Bahasa Inggris. Selain itu, peserta menunjukkan peningkatan motivasi belajar, partisipasi aktif selama pembelajaran, serta kepercayaan diri dalam menggunakan Bahasa Inggris untuk berkomunikasi. Meskipun terdapat beberapa kendala, seperti ketidakkonsistenan kehadiran peserta dan faktor cuaca, kegiatan dapat terlaksana dengan baik dan mencapai tujuan yang telah ditetapkan. Program ini menunjukkan bahwa pendekatan komunikatif efektif digunakan dalam pembelajaran Bahasa Inggris bagi anak-anak di lingkungan nonformal dan dapat menjadi salah satu bentuk kontribusi perguruan tinggi dalam mendukung peningkatan kualitas pendidikan masyarakat.
