Abstract

Ethnopedagogy emphasizes the integration of local wisdom into educational practices and has gained increasing attention in EFL contexts. This study aimed to develop inferential reading materials by integrating Lampung local wisdom through an ethnopedagogical approach. Employing a research and development (R&D) design based on the Thiagarajan and Semmel 4D model, the study involved four stages: define, design, develop, and disseminate. During the define stage, students’ needs were examined through questionnaires and interviews. The design stage focused on syllabus development and the selection of reading theories, strategies, text genres, and culturally relevant materials rooted in Lampung local wisdom. In the develop stage, an inferential reading textbook was produced and validated by experts, while the disseminate stage examined students’ responses to the materials. The participants consisted of one inferential reading lecturer and 70 undergraduate students from an English Education program at a public higher education institution in Indonesia. The findings reveal a strong need for culturally grounded inferential reading materials, as existing resources insufficiently support students’ inferential comprehension skills. Students’ responses indicated a highly positive evaluation of the materials in terms of relevance, clarity, and cultural integration, with a mean score of 3.48 on a 4-point scale, categorized as very good. These results suggest that an ethnopedagogical approach is both effective and feasible for developing inferential reading materials in EFL higher education contexts.

Abstract

The preservation of regional languages, including Javanese, increasingly requires digital innovations that can support literacy development and sustain readers’ engagement. However, existing digital platforms for Javanese literary access often lack systematic development frameworks and user-centered design features, limiting their effectiveness and long-term usability. Responding to this gap, this study develops the Novaja.id Javanese Novel Library application through the integration of the System Development Life Cycle (SDLC) and User-Centered Design (UCD) methodologies. The research began with a user needs analysis conducted through surveys and in-depth interviews, which informed the design of an intuitive interface and optimized user experience. A prototype was subsequently tested through usability evaluations, and user feedback was incorporated into iterative refinements. The findings show that the final application meets user needs effectively, demonstrating high navigation ease, satisfactory feature performance, and stable and secure functionality. These outcomes indicate that combining SDLC and UCD enhances application quality and usability. Overall, Novaja.id has strong potential to expand access to Javanese literary works and contribute to Javanese language literacy and cultural preservation.

Abstract

The objective of this study is to determine the effects and advantages of using an eclectic approach in English textbooks for the eleventh grade of Indonesian senior high school students. The study was designed using qualitative research methods, with the objective of generating descriptive data in the form of words, phrases, and sentences. The study found the effect of using an eclectic approach in an English textbook for the eleventh-grade students of the Islamic High School (MAN) 1 of Metro. The use of an eclectic approach enabled teachers to use conversation, forming study group, loud-speaker, game, and body movement at the appropriate moment and arrangement while delivering the material. Among the advantages of using this method is that it allows the teacher to make the material more interesting, vary the teaching, increase confidence in delivering material, and liven up the bilingual situation. In addition, eclectic approach allows students to understand the English material more easily and relax while learning English. The study found that the use of an eclectic approach in English textbooks for the eleventh-grade students in an Islamic senior high school (MAN) 1 of Metro has a significant impact on both teachers and students when it comes to teaching and learning English.

Abstract

The objective of this study is to develop an LMS-based app in English subject with speaking skills adopting a blended learning method. This study engaged 38 students in class eleven of the Science 2B Program at State High School 1 Metro Lampung in 2022, including 23 male students and 15 female students. This study was carried out in a State Senior High School 1 Metro Lampung. A rating rubric was used to collect data on students' speaking skills. The rubric followed the HarrisÔÇÖ rating scale which speaking skills were focused on five variables: pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary, fluency, and comprehension.┬á The blended learning model enabled students examine their knowledge through engaging involvement in learning, leading to student-centered teaching and learning activities. The results indicated that the LMS-based app https://www.e-ajar.com/ and class activities for 11th grade students in English with speaking skills at State Senior High School 1 Metro Lampung have increased students' English-speaking skills. This is seen in the development of scores and the improvement in the minimum percentage of completion in each cycle, where students' English pronunciation and grammar have significantly improved. Future study might use blended learning models potentially developed for other subjects to increase learning outcomes and creative thinking skills. This LMS-based media should not only help senior high school students with their speaking sills but also the other skills and its impacts on successful language-learning strategies.

Abstract

The role of PKK members is crucial in promoting health at the family and community levels in Indonesia. This community service project aimed to strengthen the role of 17 PKK members in Jomblangan Village through structured health education and empowerment training. Utilizing a participatory action approach, the program focused on five thematic areas: balanced nutrition, stunting prevention, hygiene and sanitation, maternal and child health, and home-based first aid. Data were collected through pre- and post-tests, observation, and focus group discussions. The average knowledge score increased by 29%, and participants demonstrated behavioral changes such as improved dietary practices, regular growth monitoring, and proper hygiene habits. Qualitative data also revealed enhanced motivation and willingness to share knowledge within the community. The findings confirm that PKK members, when equipped with appropriate knowledge and skills, can become effective grassroots health promoters. The program proved effective, acceptable, and replicable, providing a scalable model for similar communities. Continuous mentoring and digital engagement are recommended for long-term sustainability.

Abstract

This study investigated the development of an English language environment in an Islamic boarding school context where learners often had limited opportunities to use English beyond the classroom. Previous studies tended to examine language learning factors separately, leaving a gap in understanding how environmental elements functioned as an integrated system. To address this gap, this research proposed the concept of the “chemistry” of the English environment, referring to the dynamic interaction between institutional policy, teaching practices, and social communication. The study employed a qualitative ethnographic design conducted at the Modern Islamic Boarding School Darussalam Gontor, involving school leaders, teachers, and students as participants. Data were collected through observation, interviews, questionnaires, and document analysis, and analysed using an interactive model of data reduction, display, and verification. The findings revealed that the English environment was successfully constructed through the integration of formal instruction and informal daily interaction supported by strict discipline and continuous exposure. It was also found that institutional control played a significant role in shaping language habits, although a gap remained between external motivation and consistent language use. Furthermore, peer interaction and student organisations contributed to sustaining communicative practices in natural settings. These findings suggested that a structured and immersive environment could effectively support second language acquisition when supported by consistent policy and social engagement. This study contributed to the field by offering an integrated model of language environment development and provided practical implications for designing sustainable English learning ecosystems in similar educational context.

Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji efektivitas metode Total Physical Response (TPR) dalam meningkatkan pemahaman kosakata bahasa asing di tingkat pendidikan dasar (SD/MI). Penguasaan kosakata sering kali terhambat oleh penggunaan metode konvensional yang memicu kebosanan serta tingginya kecemasan belajar (affective filter) pada anak. Melalui pendekatan tinjauan literatur naratif (narrative literature review), penelitian ini mensintesis 17 artikel jurnal bereputasi terbitan sepuluh tahun terakhir. Hasil tinjauan menunjukkan bahwa metode TPR secara signifikan meningkatkan pemerolehan kosakata dan retensi memori jangka panjang siswa. Keberhasilan ini didorong oleh mekanisme dual coding, di mana koordinasi antara instruksi verbal dan gerak fisik selaras dengan karakteristik perkembangan kognitif anak usia operasional konkret. Selain itu, TPR terbukti mampu menciptakan lingkungan belajar yang humanis, menyenangkan, dan bermakna yang secara strategis menurunkan tekanan psikologis siswa. Kesimpulan dari kajian ini menegaskan bahwa TPR merupakan strategi pedagogis berbasis bukti yang sangat relevan untuk diimplementasikan pada kurikulum bahasa di SD/MI. Penelitian selanjutnya disarankan untuk mengeksplorasi integrasi teknologi digital, efektivitas pada pendidikan inklusif, serta analisis retensi jangka panjang.
