Abstract

This study investigates student perceptions of short video warm-ups used at the beginning of classroom sessions in a higher education English for Professional Purposes (ESP) course. A total of 65 first-semester undergraduate students from seven academic disciplines participated in the study. Using a convergent mixed methods design, both quantitative data from Likert-scale evaluations and qualitative data from open-ended responses were analyzed. Quantitative findings indicated high levels of agreement that the videos increased motivation (M = 4.26), were relevant to the lesson topics (M = 4.26), and aided comprehension (M = 4.23). Thematic analysis of qualitative data revealed six key themes: emotional activation and improved learning atmosphere; cognitive orientation and topic relevance; preferences for engaging media formats; enhanced engagement through real-world connections; technical and language barriers; and suggestions for pedagogical improvement. Students emphasized that short, engaging, and relatable videos helped them transition into learning mode, made the class atmosphere more enjoyable, and supported their understanding of the material. They also expressed a desire for more consistent and interactive integration of video content. The study concludes that short video warm-ups, when well designed and pedagogically aligned, can serve as effective tools for enhancing both cognitive and affective dimensions of learning. The findings offer practical implications for instructors, curriculum designers, and institutions seeking to foster active and student-centered learning environments through digital media.

Abstract

This study investigated student perceptions of teaching effectiveness in an English for Specific Purposes (ESP) course using a mixed methods approach. The research involved 65 first-semester undergraduate students from seven academic disciplines at a private University in Indonesia. Data were collected through an end-of-semester evaluation form consisting of Likert-scale items and open-ended questions. Quantitative findings indicated that students perceived the course as most effective in enhancing their reading and vocabulary skills. Other language areas—speaking, writing, listening, and grammar—also received favorable ratings, although with more variability. Thematic analysis of qualitative responses revealed that students attributed their progress to specific instructional strategies such as text-based reading tasks, vocabulary drills, and interactive speaking activities. They also highlighted grammar instruction as helpful for improving sentence construction and clarity. Suggestions for improvement included increased integration of technology, hybrid learning modes, and more personalized support. Overall, the study demonstrated that student evaluations can serve as assessment tools and reflective instruments to inform and enhance teaching practice. The study offered a nuanced perspective on how ESP instructional strategies influenced student learning by combining numerical and narrative data. These findings support using student feedback as a dynamic resource for pedagogical development.

Abstract

11 of the 71 regional languages have been declared extinct, most of which come from Maluku, North Maluku, and Papua. To prevent the extinction of several regional languages in Maluku, thus, this research aims to design an integrated model of Buru language learning based on Embedded Multilingual Ecotourism. While the specific objectives are to investigate the needs analysis of elementary school teachers for Buru language learning in the Embedded multilingual model, to explore what methods teachers use in teaching Indonesian and English using the Buru language, and to design learning textbook materials. Buru language in ecotourism-based embedded multilingual learning effectively preserves the local language for students of 9 Elementary Schools in Buru Regency. To support the achievement of the objectives of this study, the researcher used the R&D research model developed by Borg & Gall. The steps of R&D research are in the form of a cycle, which includes reviewing research findings, developing products based on these findings, testing in the field with settings according to where this product will be applied, and revising it based on the results of field tests. This process continues to be repeated until the developed product meets the stated objectives. The study results found the need for primary school teachers in Buru Regency to design ecotourism-based learning models and multilingual textbooks that contribute to teaching the Buru local language and prevent it from extinction.

Abstract

Learning is a combination formed from several elements, including materials, which can influence the achievement of learning objectives. Material elements include: textbooks, so that research on the design of Arabic reading and writing materials for beginners based on the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR) is worth doing. This study aims to determine: (1). Design of Arabic reading and writing materials for beginners based on CEFR at MTS Khoiru Ummah, Central Maluku Regency. (2). Supporting and inhibiting factors in designing Arabic reading and writing materials for beginners based on CEFR at MTS Khoiru Ummah, Central Maluku Regency. This research is a development research. Research and development include one of the methods to obtain certain new results, models, methods, strategies, ways, designs, or steps with descriptions and development of results and trials to obtain maximum results. Learning reading and writing skills continues to experience curriculum development from time to time. CEFR theory has contributed to the development of the curriculum design for learning these two Arabic language skills. This CEFR-based curriculum is designed by determining the limits of learning objectives at levels A1 and A2. CEFR has 6 levels, the lowest A1 and the highest C2 in the order of A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, and C2. Levels A1 and A2 are designed for beginners in every foreign language learning based on this theory. At the beginner level, students are able to distinguish the sounds of hijaiyah letters, read and write words that are heard and seen, write and read simple phrases and sentences found around them well. Teaching materials are presented in the form of a communicative approach to make students more active and participate in the learning process by using modern learning media either in the form of materials or learning applications that support the achievement of goals. While the evaluation is presented by paying attention to the differences in students' intellectual abilities. Namely starting from easy questions then increasing in difficulty according to level. So that the curriculum for reading and writing language is presented in gradual teaching materials with familiar themes and following the development of the era and the environment of the students. Supporting and inhibiting factors in designing Arabic reading and writing materials based on CEFR at MTs Khoiru Ummah, Central Maluku Regency. a. Supporting Factors, 1) There is a curriculum used by MTs based on the 2013 curriculum for junior high school/MTs level and will implement the Merdeka curriculum at MTs. 2) Teaching staff in accordance with their fields, 3) Textbooks used. The school facilities and environment are very supportive in learning Arabic for beginners because students are required to be in the dormitory. b. Inhibiting Factors, 1) The level of student ability was not identified at the time of input or at the time of registration and entrance exams for MTs..2) The teaching materials in the textbooks used do not focus on reading and writing lessons, making it difficult for students to master Arabic reading and writing skills..
