Abstract

Building students’ literacy skills needs to be done as early as possible. Elementary school students are at the perfect age of getting much exposure to literacy. Therefore, teachers need to be able to do some activities in the classrooms that build literacy skills. However, not all teachers know and apply the teaching techniques proposed by the Ministry of Education and Culture in school literacy movement. This community service aimed to address the needs of elementary school teachers, members of Bawana Alit group, in Tembalang, Semarang, on literacy teaching techniques. The goal was to empower these members with practical skills in implementing literacy teaching techniques in their classroom, depending on their students’ literacy levels. This workshop involved some stages, including preparation and implementation. The participants now have more effective literacy teaching strategies to be applied in their classrooms.

Abstract

This study aims to explore university students' perceptions of using TED Talks as a learning medium to improve their listening comprehension. Therefore, this study also investigates whether TED Talks are effective for students and whether TED Talks provide benefits or challenges for them. This study involved twenty undergraduate students in their third-year of the English Education Study Program at Universitas Negeri Semarang, with three students selected for interview. This research employed a descriptive method using a descriptive qualitative approach. The data in this study were collected through questionnaires and interviews. The findings show that students generally consider TED Talks useful and effective for their listening comprehension and vocabulary. Participants also reported that TED Talks motivated them to learn listening comprehension. However, several challenges emerged, including difficulty watching without subtitles and unfamiliar words. These challenges often hindered students' ability to understand the overall message, particularly for students with lower proficiency levels. The limitations of this study include the scope of the theory which only studies the listening comprehension area and limited approaches to listening learning to the use of TED Talks as a learning medium. In addition, this study was conducted with a limited yet focused participant group. Therefore, future researchers are suggested to expand the scope of relevant listening learning theories and include more participants to broaden the area of study.

Abstract

This study aims to compare the strategies used by pre-service English teachers in encouraging students to speak English in urban and rural schools in Semarang, as well as to identify challenges faced in both contexts. Using a qualitative research approach, the study involved four pre-service English teachers participating in a teaching internship program, consisting of two participants from urban schools and two from rural schools. Data were collected through interviews and document analysis, including lesson plans and teaching materials, and analyzed using thematic analysis to identify patterns related to speaking strategies and contextual challenges. The findings indicate that pre-service teachers in rural schools tend to employ simpler and more supportive strategies, such as group work, language games, short conversations, and question-and-answer activities, with a focus on building students’ confidence and reducing anxiety caused by limited vocabulary and minimal exposure to English outside the classroom. In contrast, pre-service teachers in urban schools employ more varied and structured strategies, including discussions, presentations, role-play, think-pair-share, and digital media to promote active participation. Despite contextual differences, both learning environments face similar challenges, particularly low student confidence. This study concludes that speaking instruction is context-dependent and requires pre-service teachers to adapt strategies effectively in classrooms
