Abstract

The importance of reading comprehension is key for middle school children, especially in descriptive texts where narrative vivid, clear attention to the facts and sensory aspects is needed. But Indonesian eighth-grade students experienced some difficulties in reading because of a lack of vocabulary, have no reading strategy and have lower interest in reading. The purpose of study is to investigate whether the Read, Cover, Remember, Retell (RCRR) strategy effective in teaching reading comprehension of descriptive texts. A quasi-experimental approach with pre- and post-test measurements on experimental and control groups was used. Preliminary results revealed that students in both groups had mostly average reading comprehension abilities with little representation of high‐or low‐performers. The group of students that was exposed to RCRR made marked improvement - 77% in the excellent range, and one student at the level of very high. In comparison, the control group, taught in the traditional manner, gained only minimally with 55% achieving the high category and none the very high category. These findings indicate that not only does the RCRR intervention enhance comprehension, but it also leads to more students achieving advanced levels of comprehension. In short, the RCRR approach is a feasible and efficacious approach English teachers to enhance students’ comprehension and engagement with descriptive texts.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of using podcasts on improving students' listening skills in learning English. Using a quasi-experimental design, two classes were involved, namely the experimental class that received learning through podcasts and the control class that was taught using conventional methods. The research instrument in the form of a multiple-choice test was arranged in the form of a pre-test and post-test to measure students' listening comprehension. The results of the analysis showed that students in the experimental class experienced a more significant increase in listening skills compared to the control class. This finding strengthens the theory of the importance of understandable input and Mayer's theory which emphasizes the combination of audio and verbal stimuli in learning. Podcasts have been shown to provide authentic input that can be accessed again according to the students' learning pace, thereby increasing their motivation, independence, and involvement in the learning process. Thus, podcasts are worthy of being used as an effective alternative learning media to improve listening skills in the context of teaching English as a foreign language.

Abstract

The use of Artificial Intelligence (KB) has experienced rapid development in various fields, including education and learning. This article discusses artificial intelligence-assisted language learning strategies. The main objective of this strategy is to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of the language learning process by utilizing family planning technology. This article outlines various approaches that can be used in the implementation of KB-assisted learning strategies, including automated text analysis, personalized learning, adaptive feedback, language error detection, and automatic translation. The advantages and challenges of each approach are discussed in depth, as well as their potential impact on language learning outcomes. This study adopts a literature analysis approach to investigate language learning strategies assisted by artificial intelligence. The steps taken in this study include the identification and collection of relevant literature sources, as well as critical analysis of the information found. By combining the advantages of family planning technology with the principles of language learning, it is hoped that this strategy can pave the way to a more interactive, adaptive, and efficient learning experience

Abstract

Bullying in multiethnic classrooms remains a persistent challenge, particularly in educational settings where cultural diversity is not always supported by strong intercultural understanding. Previous studies have widely emphasized the importance of intercultural sensitivity for promoting inclusive learning environments; however, there is limited empirical research that examines how intercultural sensitivity is experienced and enacted in everyday classroom interactions as a mechanism for bullying prevention in higher education contexts. This study aims to explore how intercultural sensitivity contributes to bullying prevention within the culturally diverse classrooms of Universitas Sembilanbelas November Kolaka. Using a qualitative research design, data were collected through in depth interviews with students and lecturers from multiple ethnic backgrounds. The findings reveal that intercultural sensitivity supports bullying prevention by reducing stereotyping, enhancing empathy, and encouraging more respectful and constructive peer interactions. The study concludes that strengthening intercultural sensitivity is a crucial cultural approach for fostering safer and more inclusive multiethnic classroom environments.
