Abstract

This article represents the writers’ independent perspectives regarding the conversion of John Dewey’s ideas about education as a social function. As is recognized, Dewey’s philosophical vision of education has been embraced by educational authorities in numerous countries, and his ideas remain pertinent in the contemporary era, where the intricacies of societal challenges converge with the advancement of technology. The world appears to be becoming increasingly interconnected. In the context of EFL, students must be equipped with the tools to effectively process the rapid influx of information and actively engage in societal issues to address challenges. Accordingly, this article aims to translate Dewey’s concept of education as a social function, given that there is still a paucity of literature on this topic, despite the prevalence of studies that indirectly utilize Deweyan ideas, such as collaborative learning. However, no explicit connection is made to Dewey’s ideas in education. This article commences with an examination of Dewey's education as a social function, subsequently extending the analysis to the context of EFL instruction. In this section, the writers propose EFL teaching instructions and activities that align with the tenets of Deweyan philosophy. It is hoped that this article will contribute to the ongoing discourse on the interconnection between EFL and the social function of education and provide insights for EFL educators in the formulation of instructional strategies, given the dual objective of equipping learners with linguistic proficiency and preparing them to take responsible roles within their communities.

Abstract

Pelatihan menulis cerita pendek bertujuan untuk meningkatkan keterampilan menulis, kreativitas, dan imajinasi pelajar, khususnya di kalangan siswa kelas 11 di Perguruan Al Istiqomah, Tangerang, Provinsi Banten. Kegiatan ini dilaksanakan dalam bentuk sesi tatap muka yang terdiri dari tiga tahap: pengenalan teori, penerapan teori dalam penulisan, dan evaluasi melalui diskusi kelompok. Pelatihan ini menekankan pada pengajaran elemen dasar cerita pendek, seperti tema, karakter, plot, latar (setting), dan gaya bahasa. Hasil pelatihan menunjukkan peningkatan signifikan dalam keterampilan menulis peserta, yang tercermin pada kualitas cerita yang lebih terstruktur dan kreatif. Selain itu, pelatihan ini berhasil merangsang kreativitas dan imajinasi peserta, dengan banyak peserta yang menghasilkan cerita yang lebih kompleks dan penuh imajinasi. Proses diskusi kelompok dan umpan balik konstruktif turut memperkaya proses pembelajaran. Meskipun demikian, untuk mencapai dampak jangka panjang, disarankan agar pelatihan ini dilanjutkan dalam program berkelanjutan yang lebih terstruktur. Penelitian lanjutan juga diperlukan untuk mengukur efek jangka panjang terhadap keterampilan literasi dan kreativitas siswa. Pelatihan ini berpotensi menjadi model yang efektif dalam pengembangan literasi kreatif di tingkat sekolah menengah.
