Abstract

The purpose of this research article is to address the following inquiries: (1) Can tenth-grade students proficiently acquire the present continuous tense through game-based instruction? (2) What is their proficiency level? (3) Do games effectively teach the present continuous tense to tenth grade students at SMAK Giovanni? To address those inquiries, the researcher used a descriptive method because it is used to describe the students’ mastery in the present continuous tense. The participants of the study consisted of tenth grade students from SMAK Giovanni Kupang. Fifteen students, who were all selected as subjects for the researcher's study, comprised the level. The researcher employed lesson plans and tests to get the data. The researcher devised three instructional approaches to teach the present continuous tense through the utilization of games. During the experiment, the researcher administered two tests: a pre-test and a post-test. Only three students demonstrated successful performance in the pre-test results. The class had a low level of proficiency. By incorporating game-based instruction, the students' performance and overall understanding of the subject matter showed noticeable improvement.

Abstract

The objectives of this study are to assess the proficiency of second-grade students in utilizing suitable verbs to complete a recount text and to identify the challenges encountered by these students in completing a recount text at the junior high school level. The researcher employed a qualitative approach to analyze the data. The study included a population of 20 students, and the researcher selected a random sample of 15 students. The researcher used a test as a tool to complete the recount text, selecting appropriate verbs from the provided list. The researcher employed various formulas to analyze the data. The findings indicate that the second-grade students lack proficiency in selecting suitable verbs to effectively complete the text. The analysis supports this conclusion, revealing a competency level of 56.52% among the students. We classify this skill as "poor," and the pupils achieved an average grade of 56.33%.

Abstract

In foreign language learning, and teaching, the concepts of language, culture, identity and difference, and their relationship are contentious topics. What is culture? What is identity? What is difference? What connection do they have to language? What part should the culture of the learners have in learning about the culture of the target? Questionnaires and Focus group discussion were used to collect the data. This study explores pre-service English teachers’ in a private university in East Nusa Tenggara perceptions about language and culture in language learning. The results show how pre-service English teachers’ perceptions of language and culture fit into a humanistic and functional framework in relation to language learning. Participants also mentioned the value of language acquisition in understanding cultural diversity and cultural identity.

Abstract

This study focuses on syntactic patterns in Lio interrogative sentences, Lio is a regional language belonging to the Austronesian language family and has around 200,000 to 250,000 speakers spread across areas such as Detusoko, Wolowaru, Maurole, and Ndona. This language plays an important role in the daily lives of the Lio people, both in informal and traditional communication contexts. The main objective of this study is to describe and analyze syntactic patterns in two types of questions, namely Yes-No questions and WH questions. This study uses the sentence structure theory proposed by Brown and Miller (1991) to understand the elements in sentences and the relationships between their components. Qualitative descriptive methods are applied to observe and analyze interrogative sentence data obtained from native Lio speakers. The results of the analysis show that there are five syntactic patterns used in Yes-No questions and six syntactic patterns in WH questions. These patterns reflect variations in the structure of sentence elements, such as the position of the subject, predicate, and question particles, both for yes-no answers and specific information. This research is expected to contribute to understanding the structure and function of interrogative sentences in the Lio language.

Abstract

Kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan kemampuan dasar berbahasa Inggris pelaku wisata lokal di kawasan Air Terjun Oenesu, Kabupaten Kupang. Kawasan ini memiliki potensi wisata alam yang tinggi, namun belum diimbangi dengan kesiapan sumber daya manusia dalam memberikan pelayanan prima, terutama kepada wisatawan mancanegara. Kegiatan pelatihan dilakukan selama satu hari dengan pendekatan kualitatif partisipatif, melibatkan peserta secara aktif dalam simulasi percakapan, diskusi, dan praktik langsung situasi wisata. Hasil observasi dan wawancara menunjukkan adanya peningkatan antusiasme, kesadaran, dan kepercayaan diri peserta dalam menggunakan ungkapan-ungkapan dasar bahasa Inggris. Kegiatan ini terbukti menjadi strategi pemberdayaan yang efektif dalam pengembangan kapasitas masyarakat lokal. Diharapkan program ini dapat menjadi model pelatihan yang replikatif untuk kawasan wisata lainnya di Nusa Tenggara Timur.
