Abstract

This study examines how well digital flashcards can improve elementary school students vocabulary mastery, with a particular emphasis on number vocabulary. A fourth-grade classroom in Semarang Regency, Central Java, Indonesia, served as the study’s site because it was recognised that many students lacked adequate vocabulary skills. To gauge vocabulary growth, the study used a pre-test and post-test as part of a pre-experimental design and quantitative methodology. With the pre-test mean at 60.83 and the post-test mean increasing to 82.22 following the intervention, the results showed a significant improvement in the students’ scores. The Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) was used to analyse the data. The paired t-test revealed a significant increase in vocabulary mastery, with a p-value of 0.000, below the 0.05 cutoff. As a result, the null hypothesis (H0) was rejected and the alternative hypothesis (Ha) was accepted, demonstrating the efficacy of digital flashcard in improving vocabulary acquisition. Based on the results, digital flashcard can be a useful teaching tool that can be used in a variety of ways and offer young learners an engaging and interactive learning experience.

Abstract

This Community Service Program (PkM), designed to span one year, aims to enhance the competencies of elementary school English teachers in implementing the Pancasila Student Profile Strengthening Project (P5) within the framework of the Merdeka Curriculum. The program addresses various challenges teachers face in understanding and effectively applying the P5 concept in learning activities. A qualitative method with a case study approach was employed to assess the program's impact, utilizing data collected through interviews, observations, and analysis of teacher lesson plan documents. The findings indicate that participants demonstrated significant improvement in their understanding and application of the P5 concept in classroom settings during the implementation of PkM activities. Teachers were able to design and execute project-based learning aligned with the values of Pancasila and the Merdeka Curriculum. Classroom observations revealed increased student engagement in the learning process. Moreover, teachers showed greater confidence in integrating character education into their teaching. In conclusion, intensive training and mentoring effectively improved teachers’ competencies in implementing the Pancasila Student Profile Strengthening Project. This progress significantly supports the successful implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum in the participating elementary schools. The outcomes of this program are expected to contribute to the development of teacher training models that can support broader educational programs.

Abstract

Since the implementation of the Zoning System for Student Admissions, classes in public schools have become academically heterogeneous. High achievers and low achievers are often in the same classroom. In many cases, these low achievers continue to lag because they are trapped in a vicious cycle of poor performance. Therefore, intervention is needed. One of them is by enhancing their academic self-efficacy through the implementation of a teaching strategy specifically designed to achieve this goal. This community service aims to: 1) improve teachers' understanding of the academic self-efficacy construct and its influence on learning, and 2) assist teachers in developing teaching strategies based on academic self-efficacy enhancement. This community service is divided into three stages of implementation: 1) pre-face-to-face training activities, 2) face-to-face training activities, and 3) post-face-to-face training activities. In the first stage, the community service team coordinates with the partner to prepare the necessary arrangements. In the second stage, the team provided the participants with a one-day training session. Twenty-six English teachers participated. After the self-efficacy construct was presented, participants formulated teaching strategies in groups based on the principles of self-efficacy enhancement. These strategies can then be implemented in their respective classes. The participants positively responded to the training. Follow-up activities, such as research on the strategy's impact, are necessary. Therefore, the lectures and the teachers are expected to maintain cooperation.

Abstract

This study provides a qualitative analysis of a casual talk between two male postgraduate EFL students, who are Indonesian, Javanese, and English-speaking close friends. The conversation, conducted spontaneously without prior planning, consists of 203 turns and forms 23 conversational story sequences. The findings highlight key aspects of casual conversation, including structural, interactive, and interpersonal features. Structurally, the dialogue follows adjacency pairs and the IRF (Initiate-Respond-Follow-up) pattern. Spontaneity is evident in filled pauses, repetitions, false starts, backtracking, incomplete utterances, and frequent use of conjunctions and fixed expressions. Interactivity is demonstrated through turn-taking, respectful silence, occasional interruptions, and discourse markers, with communication strategies employed to prevent breakdowns. Interpersonal engagement is reflected in the use of laughter and chuckles, fostering group solidarity. Coherence emerges through cooperative exchanges, where speakers provide relevant responses and comments. Additionally, negotiation occurs in both interpersonal exchanges and logical-semantic adjustments to maintain clarity and understanding. These findings suggest that the conversation builds engagement through laughter, coherence through cooperation, and clarity through negotiation, maintaining structured storytelling despite its casual tone. However, a key limitation of this study is its reliance on audio recordings, which excludes the analysis of gestures and facial expressions. Further investigation into diverse conversational contexts, participant relationships, and cultural influences could provide deeper insights into the dynamics of casual interactions
