Abstract

The advancement of digital technology today has boosted opportunities for teachers to apply digital products in promoting teaching and encouraging the learning process. Knowing how students perceive the use of digital technology is playing a significant role in supporting the achievement of an accommodating learning environment for students. This study is intended to investigate the students' perception of Duolingo as an English learning medium. It belongs to qualitative descriptive research. The data were gathered from an online questionnaire and interview and then analyzed descriptively. The result demonstrates students perceived positively toward applying Duolingo Application as a tool to facilitate English language learning at Senior High school it is interesting, motivating, helpful, encourages students' confidence, and is compatible across Junior High school to University students. However, students also perceived it’s weakness, it is too colorful and word repetition.

Abstract

Proficiency in multimodal writing is becoming progressively crucial for students, particularly in the realm of academic writing. Nevertheless, the existing learning materials in higher education fail to adequately meet those requirements. Hence, the goal of this study is to create a workbook that will assist students in improving their ability to write using various modes in academic writing classes. This study employs Research and Development, with a specific focus on the Analysis and Design phases of the ADDIE approach. The investigation had a total of 114 participants. We employed triangulation techniques to develop a questionnaire and gathered data in July 2024. Subsequently, we analyzed and displayed the data using descriptive statistics, elucidating its meaning in accordance with the pre-established categories. The requirements assessment revealed that students necessitate support in academic writing, including obtaining credible sources, employing technological tools, completing plagiarism checks, and maintaining citations. Students desire a customizable learning structure that allows them to produce multimodal (digital) texts and engage in activities both individually and collaboratively. The needs analysis determines the structure of the multimodal project workbook, which consists of five sections arranged according to the syntax of project-based learning. To achieve more effective and practical outcomes, it is critical to proceed with the research by carrying out the Development and Implementation stages.

Abstract

During technological and scientific developments, young learners were supposed to be accustomed to the English language. Conversely, studies on how children and teachers view English for young learners seem still limited. Thus, this study aims to find out students' and teachers' perceptions of learning English for young learners. A qualitative descriptive was applied in this study and involved 33 students and 2 English teachers in SDS Cahaya Kasih Batam. An observation checklist, questionnaire, and interview were conducted to collect the data. The indicators which were applied in the instruments are cognitive, affective, behavioral, personality, interests, and expectation. The observation checklist was done to observe the classroom situation. Those questionnaires were distributed to the students and English teachers. The last data, students' and teachers' interviews were conducted to become additional and clarify the results obtained from the questionnaire. The outcome of this study highlighted that the students and English teachers positively perceived learning English for young learners. Teaching English at an early age for young learners helps them accustomed to English and capable to deal with science and technology development.

Abstract

The increasing demand for high-quality oil palm seedlings requires nursery growing media that are both effective and sustainable. Cocopeat, an abundant agricultural by-product, is widely used as a planting medium, however,  its linear relationship with key seedling growth parameters is not fully understood. This study aimed to analyse the correlation between cocopeat application rates and plant height, stem diameter, and number of leaves of oil palm seedlings (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.). The experiment was conducted under controlled nursery conditions in Aceh Besar, Indonesia, using a randomised block design with cocopeat doses ranging from 0 to 400 g, combined with equal amounts of soil and NPK fertiliser. Pearson bivariate correlation analysis showed that variations in the cocopeat dosage generally did not exhibit significant correlations with plant height, stem diameter, or leaf number, indicating a non-linear growth response. However, the highest cocopeat dose (400 g) showed a significant positive effect on stem diameter. These results suggest that cocopeat does not proportionally enhance all growth variables but may improve specific structural traits once a threshold level is reached. The study concluded that cocopeat acts as a threshold-based modifier of the physical properties of growing media rather than a linear driver of oil palm seedling growth, providing practical guidance for optimising nursery media formulations.
