Abstract

Elena, an e-learning aid based on MOODLE version 2.0 developed by Universitas Negeri Semarang, is used to support the teaching and learning process as a response to the post COVID-19 outbreak. In English Education study program, Elena is mostly used not only for the lecturer to upload the materials, but also for the students to have discussion session, do assignment, exam, and quiz. However, as we shift from full online classes to ofline classes, it is important for all the parties and stakeholders to re-evaluate the use of Elena in teaching and learning process in post pandemic era, especially for students as the main user. A descriptive study was conducted by giving questionnaire and having in-depth interview to 100 students who participated. The results shows that students have positive perception towards the use of Elena in post-pandemic era to support the teaching and learning process, especially in learning language. However, some improvement such as make Elena into application rather than web-based learning aid, improve the user interface, and add live notification synchronized into students’ Telegram bot or MyUNNES should be considered.

Abstract

The limited preparedness of elementary school Physical Education (PE) teachers in managing injuries and emergency situations remains a significant challenge for ensuring student safety. This community service programme aimed to strengthen teachers’ competencies in injury prevention, emergency response, and school safety management through an integrated training and mentoring approach. The programme involved 33 PE teachers from the Physical Education Teachers’ Working Group (KKG PJOK) in Gunungpati Sub-district, Semarang, Indonesia. Activities included needs assessment, training on school safety management, injury prevention, first aid, Emergency Cardiac Care (ECC), cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), simulation-based practice, the development of school safety Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), and the implementation of SIGAPEdu as a digital injury reporting system. Programme effectiveness was evaluated using pre-test and post-test assessments, practical performance observations, and monitoring of programme outputs. The results demonstrated substantial improvements in teachers’ knowledge and practical competencies. The mean knowledge score increased from 58.24 ± 9.17 in the pre-test to 86.73 ± 6.84 in the post-test, representing an overall improvement of 48.9%. The proportion of teachers capable of performing basic CPR increased from 12.1% to 84.8%, exceeding the programme target of 80%. Furthermore, school-based safety SOPs were developed and implemented, three safety-oriented PE teaching materials were produced, and SIGAPEdu was adopted by 72.7% of participants, surpassing the predetermined target. These outcomes indicate that the programme successfully strengthened teachers’ emergency preparedness, promoted the integration of safety principles into PE learning, and supported the development of data-driven school safety practices. Continuous implementation of similar programmes is recommended to foster safer and higher-quality learning environments in schools.

Abstract

This article explores how an English Department student perceives using TED Talks to develop speaking fluency in English in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) contexts. Although speaking fluency is one of the most essential and visible aspects of communicative competence, it remains one of the most challenging skills to master due to limited exposure to authentic input and low confidence among learners. TED Talks offer authentic, multimodal resources with engaging and culturally diverse styles of fluent English speech. Drawing on theories of perception, multimedia learning, and speaking pedagogy, this article categorizes the discussion into one main objective: how student's perception about TED Talks as a tool to enhance speaking fluency. The findings from this research and the reviewed previous studies suggest that students generally perceive TED Talks positively. The participant admires the fluency, organization, and delivery style of various TED Talks speakers and feels inspired to emulate them. Repeated exposure to TED Talks contributed to vocabulary enrichment, greater pronunciation, and increased motivation in learning. In conclusion, TED Talks might not be a one-size-fits-all solution, but they hold a promising source that can be thoughtfully integrated into a speaking learning activity.

Abstract

Euphemisms serve as essential linguistic tools for navigating social norms and cultural sensitivities. Nonetheless, their use in the realm of video game localization is still a largely unexplored topic, especially regarding the English-Indonesian context. This research examines the translation techniques used for euphemistic phrases in HoYoverse’s Honkai Star Rail, emphasizing both understatement and overstatement euphemisms. A qualitative descriptive method was utilized to gather corresponding English-Indonesian text pairs from the dialogues in the Penacony Trailblaze Mission of the game. These pairs were subsequently examined using the framework of the translation technique proposed by Molina and Hurtado Albir. The examination produced 19 euphemistic phrases, comprising 16 understatements and 3 overstatements. Three translation techniques were identified in total: literal translation (84.2%), amplification (10.5%), and modulation (5.3%). The common use of literal translation indicates that euphemistic techniques used in English and Indonesian in the realm of fantasy RPGs show cross-cultural alignment. The strategic use of modulation, illustrated by translating “crime scene” to “TKP” (Tempat Kejadian Perkara), shows a refined cultural adjustment. The results suggest that significant cultural adaptation might not be essential for successful euphemism translation in gaming situations when the source and target cultures have comparable norms for indirect communication. This study substantially enhances video game localization theory by offering a framework for examining euphemistic elements in interactive narratives. Moreover, it provides useful advice for localization experts dealing with English-Indonesian language pairs.

Abstract

This article explores the integration of Wayground, a game-based digital learning platform, as a tool to enhance vocational high school students' comprehension of report texts in English language classrooms. The primary objective of this study is to analyze the pedagogical potential of Wayground in improving students’ reading comprehension, motivation, and active engagement through interactive and student-centered instruction. This research employs a qualitative theoretical approach grounded in literature review, synthesizing findings from recent scholarly sources related to gamification, reading instruction, and the Emancipated Curriculum in Indonesia. Reading report texts presents challenges for vocational students due to their factual, formal, and structured nature, often resulting in disengagement and low comprehension. Wayground offers a practical solution through gamified features—such as instant feedback, time limits, and competitive elements—that stimulate learners’ motivation and cognitive engagement. Furthermore, Wayground facilitates formative assessment and differentiation, supporting individualized learning pathways in line with constructivist principles and curriculum flexibility. The practical implications of this study suggest that integrating Wayground into English reading instruction can revitalize classroom dynamics and improve literacy outcomes in vocational settings. However, considerations such as digital infrastructure and teacher readiness must be addressed to ensure effective implementation. The findings of this study serve as a pedagogical guide for teachers seeking to leverage technology to promote deeper learning and engagement, particularly in reading-intensive lessons.

Abstract

Translating Indonesian text into English is a big deal for Indonesian students, especially with English education students. Previous studies show that general problems among students are idioms, failing to comprehend the text, a lack of vocabulary, and subject-verb agreement. However, it is rare to find their primary concern in non-equivalence problems, and what solutions fit with students based on their experience. In this case, researchers use a qualitative method. To obtain this data, researchers conducted a deep interview using thematic analysis. This method shows that 8th-semester UNNES English Education students also have their biggest concerns and solutions. The problems that students face are grammar, vocabulary, coherence, and cultural issues. Their solutions are also varied; using DeepL and Grammarly for grammar, studying for grammar mastery, using Google and an online dictionary for cultural terms, and using AI to assist in building coherent sentences. It can be seen that most of students used technology for encounter their problem. This discovery can lead to curriculum review to solve students’ translation difficulty and also regulate the digital and AI tools utilization. To enrich the data, future researchers can use another method, or focusing on one type of non-equivalence problem in a kind of text, like news, narrative, procedure, etc.
