Abstract

This research explores the multifaceted concept of translanguaging in the context of teaching English as a foreign language in three universities in North Sumatra. Translanguaging, a term encompassing various aspects of multilingualism, is examined as a pedagogical approach that utilizes multiple languages within a classroom setting. The study investigates translanguaging practices among lecturers and aims to address three key research questions: the types of translanguaging practices, perceptions of lecturers and students, and the motivations behind incorporating translanguaging in teaching and learning activities. The research method is a qualitative method with a case study approach model focusing on the exploration of a "bounded system" on one specific case or on some cases in detail by exploring data in depth. Through a combination of surveys and interviews with lecturers, the study identifies eight motivations for the intentional use of translanguaging practices. These motivations include adjusting to students' proficiency levels, clarification, and emphasis, translanguaging as an academic strategy, providing challenges for student growth, considering diverse student demographics, expressing firmness and solidarity, addressing real lexical needs in communication, and expressing group identity. The findings reveal positive responses to translanguaging from both lecturers and students, highlighting its versatility in meeting educational objectives and fostering effective communication in diverse learning environments. The motivations align with existing literature, emphasizing the adaptability and significance of translanguaging in enriching the teaching and learning experience. The study concludes with several insights into translanguaging practices in North Sumatra's universities and recommends possibilities for future research and practical implementation. The proposed recommendations include professional development for lecturers, curriculum design, student training, and calls for more studies in tranlanguaging. Overall, this research contributes to the understanding of translanguaging motivations and offers practical suggestions for enhancing its integration in higher education institutions.

Abstract

This research was motivated by the learning to listen to English UHKBNP students during the Covid-19 pandemic which had not been carried out properly because students' understanding of listening skills was still lacking. The teaching and learning process during the pandemic was increasingly difficult for students to experience, resulting in disruption of the teaching and learning process. This also reduces the activeness of students in participating in listening lessons. The learning media used are also less effective, moreover the learning techniques used are still less varied. The purpose of this study was to analyze how effective the use of YouTube media was on the listening skills of UHKBNPP English students during the Covid-19 pandemic. The research method used was quasi-experimental without a control class. The steps to be carried out in this research are; 1) Do a pre test; 2) Doing treatment using Youtube media; 3) Do a post test, then conclude. Based on the t test results, there was a significant difference between the control group and the experimental group in listening ability. The experimental class that used YouTube media showed significant improvement compared to the control group. The conclusion from this study is that there is effectiveness of YouTube media in improving students' listening skills during the current Covid-19 pandemic.

Pengabdian kepada Masyarakat (PkM) ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan kosakata bahasa Inggris siswa di SMP N 2 Bandar melalui penggunaan permainan dan kegiatan interaktif. Dilaksanakan selama dua hari dengan 40 peserta, program ini menggunakan berbagai metode yang menarik, termasuk Permainan Mencocokkan Kata, Bingo Kosakata, Asosiasi Gambar-Kata, dan Permainan Bermain Peran, untuk membuat pembelajaran kosakata menjadi lebih menyenangkan dan efektif.

Umpan balik kualitatif dari para siswa mengungkapkan bahwa belajar melalui permainan mengurangi kecemasan, meningkatkan motivasi, dan menumbuhkan sikap yang lebih positif terhadap belajar bahasa Inggris. Kegiatan interaktif memberikan konteks untuk penggunaan kosakata, membantu siswa menginternalisasi kata-kata baru secara lebih efektif dibandingkan dengan teknik menghafal tradisional. Studi ini menyoroti potensi pembelajaran berbasis permainan dalam meningkatkan retensi dan keterlibatan kosakata, dan menunjukkan bahwa strategi serupa dapat digunakan dalam konteks pendidikan lainnya untuk meningkatkan hasil pembelajaran bahasa.
