Abstract

This research study aims to investigate and analyse why English department students of FKIP UMSU are not standard enough in pronouncing the double “O” letters based on the standard of IPA (International Pronunciation Association). Pronunciation, according to Webster’s New World College Dictionary, 3rd Edition says, 1. The act or manner in pronouncing syllables, words, and phrases with regard to the production of sounds and the placing of stress, intonation etc, 2. a). Any of accepted or standard ways of pronouncing a word, etc, b). the transcription is symbol of such a way of pronouncing a word. Based on this information we can say that the pronunciations among languages are not always similar. The word /p-u-t/ as a verb in English means to drop something in a certain place while the word /p-u-t/ as a noun in Gayonese, means someone’s butt or ass. They both have the same pronunciation, but they carry different meanings. Let alone in English, say for example, the word /w-i-n-d/, even the spelling and the pronunciation is the same but they may have different words functions meanings. The noun /w-i-n-d/ means as air in motion, while the verb /w-i-n-d/ means to turn or make revolve. This research is focusing on the pronunciation of the “O-O” letters. In fact, not all “O-O” letters in English are pronounced similarly. The words; book, good, look, cook are pronounced similar, that is by using /u/, while the words: mood, moon, shoot, food, too, booth have different pronunciations, long /u:/ is applied. Then, the words; blood, flood is pronounced as /a/, door, floor, poor, is pronounced as /o/.The question is how standard can those English department students in semester III of FKIP UMSU pronounce those double “O-O” letters ? How many presents can they pronounce these double “O” letters correctly? And what causes them?

Abstract

This study aims to determine whether the use of puzzle media can improve students' critical thinking skills in science learning. The method used in this study is Classroom Action Research (CAR). Data collection techniques in the study were observation sheets and tests. The subjects in this study were 15 fourth grade students. The results of the study showed that the use of puzzle media in science learning can improve students' critical thinking skills from pre-cycle 50.66%, cycle I 60.66% and cycle II to 81.33%, which means that there is an increase from pre-cycle to cycle I by 10%, while the increase in cycle I to cycle II is 20%. Based on the phenomena that occur, the use of puzzle media in science learning in grade IV becomes more fun and interesting, and student participation increases in the learning process, students who become super active, increase student creativity and increase innovation and improve students' critical thinking skills.

Abstract

Media Pembelajaran sangat berperan dalam proses belajar mengajar. Dengan pemanfaatan media siswa akan lebih tertarik dalam belajar serta dapat mengasah pengetahuan mereka demi mencapai tujuan pembelajaran.  Pembelajaran yang menyenangkan dengan penggunaan ICT misalnya mampu nemarik minat siswa untuk lebih mendalami materi yang diajarkan. Terlebih jika guru yang bersangkutan menerapkan pembelajaran yang aktif, inovatif, kreatif, efektif dan menyenangkan (PAIKEM).  Namun sayangnya masih banyak guru yang tidak memperdulikan pemanfaatan ICT serta kegunaannya dalam proses pembelajaran. Beberapa guru yang telah diwawancarai mengaku bahwa tidak menggunakan ICT seperti software Geogebra dikarenakan tidak pandai dalam mengoperasikan software tersebut. Hal inilah yang menjadi latar belakang tujuan pengabdian masyarakat ini yakni untuk membantu guru-guru matematika khususnya menggunakan software Geogebra sebagai salah satu media pembelajaran dalam matematika. Kegiatan yang dikemas dengan pelatihan langsung ini telah meningkatkan pengetahuan guru-guru matematika di Yayasan Perguruan Free Methodis Indonesia, serta guru matematika yang diundang dari sekolah lainnya. Fitur-fitur yang terdapat di dalam software Geogebra seperti lingkaran, bangun datar, bangun ruang, persamaan garis dan sebagainya sukses dipahami dan dioperasikan oleh guru-guru tersebut.

Abstract

This study aims to improve the English speaking skills of 6th grade high school students at Wittaya Islamic School in Thailand through the application of a group podcast strategy. This study used the Classroom Action Research (CAR) method, which was carried out in two cycles. The problems encountered were the students' low English speaking skills due to limitations in constructing spoken sentences, low self-confidence, limited vocabulary, and psychological factors such as shyness and fear of making mistakes. The results showed a significant improvement in three main indicators: teacher activity increased from 68% (poor category) to 85% (excellent category), student activity increased from 60.73% (fair category) to 75% (good category), and student test scores increased dramatically from 52.12% (poor category) to 84.62% (excellent category). The most notable improvement occurred in test scores, with a difference of 32.5%. This study proves that the group podcast strategy is effective in improving students' English speaking skills because this strategy encourages collaboration, boosts confidence, expands vocabulary, and creates a meaningful and contextual learning environment

Abstract

Post-thesis celebrations in higher education are often viewed as informal or peripheral activities, yet they constitute rich communicative spaces where language, identity, and culture intersect. This study investigates Semprotulation, a student-initiated celebratory ritual performed after thesis defenses, to examine its meanings, symbols, and interactional dynamics as well as its pedagogical implications for language learning. Employing a qualitative-dominant mixed-method design, the research integrates ethnographic observation, multimodal discourse analysis, interviews, and questionnaires involving 48 students and 10 academic staff at an Indonesian university. Data were collected through video recordings, field notes, and participant reflections, and analyzed thematically and interactionally to identify recurring linguistic and symbolic patterns. The findings reveal that Semprotulation operates as a structured multimodal genre characterized by humorous teasing, congratulatory formulas, code-switching practices, embodied gestures, and symbolic artifacts such as water and flour that index renewal and solidarity. These practices facilitate emotional release, strengthen peer cohesion, and create authentic opportunities for spontaneous language use and digital literacy through social media documentation. From a sociolinguistic and pedagogical perspective, the ritual functions as an informal site of language socialization that complements formal instruction by fostering communicative confidence, identity negotiation, and collaborative learning. The study contributes to applied linguistics and language education by reframing campus cultural traditions as meaningful educational resources and recommends integrating students’ lived communicative practices into culturally responsive and multimodal language pedagogy.
