Abstract

There have been many studies on YouTube and its advantages for learning English, yet a specific research on students’ perception of native speaker presenters is still rare. This study aimed to investigate students’ general perspectives on YouTube videos, and exploring students’ perspectives on YouTube video presenters/hosts (native speaker and non-native speaker), and how they positively affect students’ English competency. A descriptive analysis method was done by distributing a questionnaire written in Indonesian via Google form to 156 respondents. The result of questionnaire was then analysed qualitatively using Jeffreys’s Amazing Statistics Program (JASP) 0.14.1. A semi-structured interview to ten respondents to dig out more about their response for certain items or questions was also done. The analysis revealed that YouTube provides a wide variety of topics, available in multiple languages, and might be downloaded anytime. When the presenters are the native ones, the respondents got some positive impacts in improving their English competency. Students felt challenged in building their understanding of the content, could practice their listening skill correctly, may train and improve their speaking skill, got new English vocabulary, learn to pause, stress, and use appropriate intonations in uttering words, sentences, and phrases, could practice proper use of grammar, identify people’s live and behave, increase students’ general knowledge, increase their knowledge of English language culture, and they become more creative. However, some respondents preferred the non-native hosts since they tend to speak slower and sometimes switch to Indonesian that facilitates the respondents understanding.

Abstract

The training aims to enhance Sunday School children's vocabulary and cultural knowledge via the enactment of Bible stories. As part of community-based service, this strategy is utilized. A contextual and interactive learning process is integrated with the values of love and tolerance, as well as cultural, religious, and linguistic variety. To gauge the extent to which their vocabulary has grown, twenty-one students from the pre-teens and teenagers groups completed both the pre- and post-tests. Twenty-seven children participated in the program evaluation. Each student received an additional 1.90 points, or 19.05% of the maximum possible score, according to the findings. Two children have maintained a perfect score since the pre-test. These findings support the idea that drama training grounded in the Bible can be an effective means of expanding one's vocabulary and fostering cross-cultural understanding. The assessment also revealed that the children were highly engaged and joyful. This is a great opportunity for religious organizations to impart their ideals and language in a manner consistent with their doctrine. Keywords:  Sunday school students, training, play, English language, cultural awareness.

Abstract

This classroom action research study aimed to enhance and empower reading comprehension among tenth-grade students at SMA Negeri 14 Maluku Barat Daya through the systematic application of the paired reading method. The study sought not only to improve students’ technical reading skills but also to foster greater self-efficacy and motivation by engaging them in structured peer learning. Baseline assessments revealed that many students faced challenges when reading individually, highlighting the need for a collaborative instructional approach. In Cycle 1, the intervention was implemented with strategic pairing based on reading proficiency and enhanced teacher facilitation; the results indicated that approximately 64% (16 out of 25) of the students met the predetermined reading comprehension benchmark. Based on these findings, refinements were made for Cycle 2 including improved pairing strategies, increased scaffolding, and more rigorous data management—which culminated in all 25 students (100%) achieving the benchmark. These outcomes demonstrate that iterative application of the paired reading method can significantly elevate reading comprehension outcomes while simultaneously empowering students through collaborative learning. This study contributes to the growing body of evidence supporting classroom action research as an effective means for refining instructional practices, and its findings underscore the potential benefits of peer-assisted reading strategies in secondary education.

Abstract

This study explores the perspectives of primary school English teachers on multicultural education within the context of Eastern Indonesia, particularly in Ambon City. The research aims to understand how teachers perceive the importance, relevance, and challenges of multicultural education in shaping students’ social awareness and intercultural competence. Using a descriptive qualitative design, data were collected from six primary school English teachers through a ten-item questionnaire consisting of two categories: conceptual understanding and perceived importance of multicultural education. The results reveal that all participants demonstrated a high level of conceptual awareness regarding the value of multicultural education in fostering tolerance, respect, and social harmony among students. However, variations emerged in teachers’ readiness to implement multicultural-based approaches in classroom instruction. While most teachers agreed that integrating local cultural content is essential, a few expressed uncertainty due to limited pedagogical resources and institutional support. Overall, the findings highlight that teachers’ perspectives are shaped not only by theoretical understanding but also by contextual realities of teaching in a culturally diverse environment. The study concludes that strengthening teachers’ professional capacity and institutional support is crucial to bridge the gap between understanding and practice. These findings offer valuable insights for future research and policy development in multicultural and English language education across Indonesia’s diverse regions.

Abstract

In the domain of learning English as a foreign language, there are ongoing discussions regarding the effectiveness of visual learning media in developing contextual and meaningful language skills. This study presents Jewitt and Mayer’s multimodal learning theory, Kolb’s experiential learning theory, and project-based learning approaches as analytical frameworks for exploring the role of dioramas in language instruction. The three theories emphasize that learning experiences are enhanced when students engage through multiple channels of representation (visual, linguistic, spatial) and actively participate in creating meaning through collaborative projects. An extensive review of the literature from the past five years indicates that dioramas effectively enhance contextual vocabulary acquisition, improve both oral and written language production, foster critical thinking, and promote cultural awareness. Dioramas are recognized as effective and practical tools that can be employed across various educational levels and are adaptable to advancements in technology. Theoretical implications indicate that the use of dioramas as a pedagogical method in English language education can be effective when thoughtfully integrated into the curriculum, supported by comprehensive teacher training, and supplemented with pertinent guides addressing both local and global issues.
